      Current storyline is taking place after winter break, so this could have been before their falling out.

        Judging by the length of Becky’s hair, I think you are correct!

          It was mentioned that Joyce stayed at Becky’s place over Christmas break so that is when this New Years took place.

            Becky’s place? I thought her home was foreclosed upon (and right near where Joyce’s parents live) and she lost the apartment when she stopped being a campaign manager for Representative DeSantos. Where is Becky’s place?
            What’s the link for that? I must have missed it.

          Joyce isn’t wearing glasses so I’d say it’s confirmed

    For Willis’ perennial posting of that Spiderverse leap of faith meme on NYE, it was almost predetermined that he’d come up with his own twist.

    Well done.

    Bonne année to all.

andre the giant: I don't like to speak badly of people I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot Say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

Reposting links when it's not ass o'clock but if bigots can yell at visa and mastercard then so can we. This is a nightmare timeline for nsfw creators and creators as a whole, so if you're someone who enjoys my work or anyone else's we need all hands on deck if we want any shot at all

Considering Dagwood's industrialist tycoon parents disowned him for marrying Blondie, I'm pretty sure that last panel was his wedding vows verbatim

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

So idk why that article is using an image of Ladykiller in a Bind, which has not been removed from any platform. BUT, if you're feeling like now's a good time to directly download a copy of my award winning sex comedy... it's currently 80% off on itch! loveconquersallgames.itch.io/ladykillerin...

Had a dream about Dumbing Of Age a couple of days ago that I couldn’t get out of my head so I had to illustrate it lol @damnyouwillis.bsky.social #webcomic #dumbingofage #webcomics
A comic depicting a dream I had about the current arc of the webcomic Dumbing Of Age by David Willis. 

Panel 1
Joyce, holding hands with Dorothy, with a pouty face: Sorry, Joe, but Dorothy and I are dating now.

Panel 2
There is a sad pause where Joe realises what’s happening, frowning with sad eyes. 

Panel 3
Joe, raising a finger up thoughtfully: I am very happy for you. Now if you’ll excuse me.

Panel 4
Joe, running down the hallway, screaming: HEY I NEED TO HAVE SEX CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME I REALLY WANT TO FUCK RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE SUPER GREAT I WANT SEX PLEASE

Panel 5
Jennifer, appearing out of nowhere, handing Joyce a beer can: Hold my beer.

Panel 6
Joe, continuing to run: SEX PLEASE SEX PLEASE GIMME SEX PLEASE
Jennifer chases after Joe, clearly going to satiate his needs. Joyce stares with disappointment and annoyance, still holding the beer can.
