There’s literally no way to know what lies in death, the final unknown. For all we know, what lies in death could be far worse. It would be very much wise not to perchance the dream.
It’s a given that noone can know what death is like; however I can still provide a very informed evaluation here. Care to guess why?
Lucy has a sibling that’s a gender swapped copy of herself just like Walky? These two might be made for each other….maybe. it could also just be a fun character design trope.
Asher?…I know that guy. I also know I don’t trust him. That is all……
….Actually that’s not all. Sal visiting Asher will possibly lead to drama and it’s a fear that they’d somehow end up hooking up in any capacity. It would be a very dramatic development which means it will probably happen.
I guess the question is, was Sal actually going to see Asher?
There was no indication of her wanting to visit Asher in the previous comics, and since Sal is just out for a ride (and I doubt the campus is THAT big), she’d probably be going by a lot of different buildings just because, well, bikes travel faster than walking.
Asher may -think- that he’s chill, or Zen, “in control”, but that’s just an illusion generated from pretending that he has control of his situation. The power of the Mob doesn’t give him strength or control, Hugh he might think so.
Who knows what Amber’s dad would have wrought psychologically, if the robbery hadn’t happened? We do know that the interaction with Sal was the incipient event that pushed Amber into her crisis. Jennifer is one level of tightly wrapped fury, but Sal and Amber are capable of dragging him out of his ego’s little illusion and into a harsh reality with a level of fury he may not have imagined.
I suspect that Sal has decided that the time has come for her and Asher to settle accounts so that she at least can move on with her life (Asher seems to have already done so without much trouble).
You know, the most unrealistic part of this whole comic might be that there’s not a bunch of college kids riding down this giant snow hill on stolen cafeteroa trays.
I’m not sure if Walky doesn’t know that he’s annoying or if he believes that being annoying is part of his charm and doesn’t understand why it should make people walk away from him.
Awesome Walky♡! I just hope Sal isn’t using the bike Danny gave her to ruin her day by going to spy on Asher. It’s evident that she feels lonely and that she likes him, but Asher is with her (almost) step-sister and that would be really mean.
It spread like wildfire. The Pandemic. BUTTS-19, they called it. The Willisvirus, or just plain Butt’s Disease. Billions infected. Millions turned into complete butt openings. No hope in sight.
Then, a marvel. A vaccine. Across the world, every nation took up the effort, vaccinating their citizens to stop the spread. We thought we were safe.
BUT. IT. MUTATED. A new strain, more potent, more infectious, more deadly. The old vaccines didn’t protect against it. Lockdowns sprung up everywhere as people tried to protect themselves. But they couldn’t stop it’s spread.
We call it McNutt’s Disease. And we all have it. It’s only a matter of time, now.
I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.
TRANS WOMEN OF BLUESKY:
What was your egg cracking moment?
When did you know you were trans? What made you realize?
And did you know you were a woman right away, or did you pass through other identities first
Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all those who work, create, parent, protest, love and live without ever fitting into someone else's category.
Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip.
Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons.
Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s:

Walky sound like he needs FIFTY MCNUTT-GETS
For ten bucks?
Sometimes you feel like a McNutt. Sometimes you don’t.
Eat at Arby’s.
He should stop driving her nutts.
It’s a brother’s job. Trust me on this.
McNutts you mean?
Flipping nuttburgers at McNutt’s.
I live in California. I don’t know what Mcnutt is.
McNutt is, from context, a dorm building at this university. Asher lives there, as do Beef and Lucy’s Brother (I wanna say Kyle?)
Lucy has a brother???
Yes, but she hasn’t informed him yet.
I don’t think they’ve appeared in DoA, but they’ve been mentioned and appeared once or twice back in Shortpacked
This is phrased badly, they’ve been mentioned in DoA but not appeared, they showed up in person once or twice in Shortpacked.
Comic where they were mentioned
Where was it mentioned that Beef lives there?
McNutt
But yeah. Lyle. He seems nice.

Ah. Word of Willis.

I don’t live in California, but I don’t know either.
You could move to California.
You still wouldn’t know, but you’d be living in California.
Truly, a fate worse than death.
I beg your pardon?
Until you’ve experienced both, I don’t think you can make an informed comparison.
There’s literally no way to know what lies in death, the final unknown. For all we know, what lies in death could be far worse. It would be very much wise not to perchance the dream.
It’s a given that noone can know what death is like; however I can still provide a very informed evaluation here. Care to guess why?
You’re a g-g-ghost!
Not existing after you die will be a lot like not existing before you’re born, right?
Yeah, except it’s in reverse.
ALL WRONG!
I’ll give you a hint: it has something to do with semiconductors and a precious metal.
What if life after death means living in California
Is that if you’ve been good or if you’ve been bad?
No peace in death. No justice or clemency for any soul.
Only California.
This is what the song “Hotel California” is about.
I know what both are like, and death at least doesn’t make my lungs hurt.
You guys really think California is THAT bad?
Well…. looking around, I guess you guys have a point. If this is any kind of heaven, it’s only a silicon heaven.
Close, you’re only one letter off— his name is Lyle.
Lucy has a sibling that’s a gender swapped copy of herself just like Walky? These two might be made for each other….maybe. it could also just be a fun character design trope.
Great, close enough, I’m still basically right.
And yet if this was multiple choice, government id, or a password prompt, it’d be a complete failure.
The thing is, Lyle is a great name and Kyle is a suck name. My apologies to any Kyles in the comment section.
In hindsight, “McNutt the Crime Mutt” would have been a more memorable name.
It’s the McNuttshack.
Grand Dad!?
Sounds like a B-52s song.
Awe, nutts.
If I had a 20 piece, I’d McNutt right about now.
Asher is gonna McNutt when he sees Sal.
Premature McNuttulation is a problem with 20% of males.
Formerly known as McBall.
They were supposed to build two mirror-image buildings adjacent to each other, but budget cuts left the campus with only one.
At a glance this strip reads as someone in Heaven talking down to the mortals.
Are you saying Willis is ripping off Sinfest?! *gasp* :O
My brother spoke to me from heaven and all I got was McNutt.
“Hi Asher, I didn’t mean to come here, but my brother from Heaven sent me”
*attempts to select a movement from the Nutcracker Suite*
Normally I’d be with Walky, because c’mon, that’s funny, but I’m distracted by Sal going to see Asher.
Asher?…I know that guy. I also know I don’t trust him. That is all……
….Actually that’s not all. Sal visiting Asher will possibly lead to drama and it’s a fear that they’d somehow end up hooking up in any capacity. It would be a very dramatic development which means it will probably happen.
I guess the question is, was Sal actually going to see Asher?
There was no indication of her wanting to visit Asher in the previous comics, and since Sal is just out for a ride (and I doubt the campus is THAT big), she’d probably be going by a lot of different buildings just because, well, bikes travel faster than walking.
She’s definitely had men on her mind.
Maybe she’s going to do him a solid favor and let him know that his new girl friend is a nut case.
Asher may -think- that he’s chill, or Zen, “in control”, but that’s just an illusion generated from pretending that he has control of his situation. The power of the Mob doesn’t give him strength or control, Hugh he might think so.
Who knows what Amber’s dad would have wrought psychologically, if the robbery hadn’t happened? We do know that the interaction with Sal was the incipient event that pushed Amber into her crisis. Jennifer is one level of tightly wrapped fury, but Sal and Amber are capable of dragging him out of his ego’s little illusion and into a harsh reality with a level of fury he may not have imagined.
A mcnutt case.
McNutt case. And I can’t even blame that on spell-check.
Maybe she wasn’t planning to see him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Walky mentioning him makes Sal go see him.
I suspect that Sal has decided that the time has come for her and Asher to settle accounts so that she at least can move on with her life (Asher seems to have already done so without much trouble).
There’s a powerful melancholy to this strip.
There’s a powerful McNutt to this strip.
Fixed that for you.
Inquiring minds want to know if McNutt has a rubber butt…
Does he play lacrosse?
You know, the most unrealistic part of this whole comic might be that there’s not a bunch of college kids riding down this giant snow hill on stolen cafeteroa trays.
THIS
It’s happening on the McNutt side of the hill where you can’t see it.
Agreed; and not just the students but faculty and townies too!
I think he’s supposed to live on Bofa street.
You’re thinking of McDeeznutt’s.
McNutt.
McNutt.
McNutt.
McNutt.
Nutty McNuttFace
I think you mean Nutty McNuttFAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
-why yes, you are correct, I am determined to beat that meme to death.
McNutt Chickenbutt!
I’m not sure if Walky doesn’t know that he’s annoying or if he believes that being annoying is part of his charm and doesn’t understand why it should make people walk away from him.
Well it’s his sister he is talking to so being annoying is basically part of the sibling thing.
Awesome Walky♡! I just hope Sal isn’t using the bike Danny gave her to ruin her day by going to spy on Asher. It’s evident that she feels lonely and that she likes him, but Asher is with her (almost) step-sister and that would be really mean.

Dumbing of Age Book 11: McNutt
Plot twist: Walky’s dead, but went right to Heavens, instead Mike, condened to wander between the live ones.
You can tell Willis is thinking, “This background is so easy! All Dumbing of Age strips EVER take place on top of this snow pile from now on.”
I’m not too sure about that. Why, when it gets dark, he is going to have to change that blue background to black, that is an awful lot of work.
I’ve finished the long walk to the present! yay
What a roller coaster week of emotion.
Welcome to the what ever this is.

Oh no, not McNutt’s Butts.
So you’re saying that…

Dumbing of Age book 12: I’m Like a Stone’s Throw from McNutt
I feel as if this strip’s title ought to have been “Nutt’s Throw”.
No one made a ‘Walky Performs a McNutt’ joke? I don’t even know you people anymore.
We saved it for you.
I’m surprised the title isn’t mcnutt. Or mcnuttmcnuttmcnutt. Missed opportunity there XD
