I’m sure it’s fine, just needs some lube
Gotta try in my car engine, someday…
Wait. … Did Dotty switch over to the dryer _Joyce_ was on?
Ah. It was (unsurprisingly) spotted yesterday. and yes.
This makes me wonder about sentient dryer. Now I want a crossover with QC.
QC has sentient AI sex toys that are surprisingly popular. I could see some of the ladies preferring interacting with one of those over real people.
This brings up questions about the ethics of “using” a sentient AI for sex.
Sure, it’s a sex toy, but does that imply consent? What if it’s not in the mood?
aand the server clock shifts later and later~
I’m starting to wonder if Willis is testing how well he has his audience hooked by seeing how much sleep he can deprive them off before they stop waiting up for the new strip to drop and just decide to catch it the next day.
Stop teasing us! JUST INJECT IT INTO OUR VIENS!
DOA fandom kicking the
dryerserver from above.no, it just does that and when the lag gets too much it gets rebooted or something
It’s a shame that there is no way for servers to keep there clocks sychronized. Like a global network infrastructure that could interconnect all the servers and coordinate the time using some kind of networked time protocol. Ah well… manually winding the server clocks works just as well.
Those solutions would take energy away from constantly winding the readership up, and why interfere with valuable research into what could well prove an endlessly renewable resource?
handling a server is a pain and if the current way works for DMW then it’s fine with me.
Like it’s just a few minutes of potential delay. On a comic that’s never missed a single day of update since 2010. Come on.
Like I said: valuable research. Tuck a server in small void in a corner, lose all track of it, accidentally plaster it over with just network and power cables coming out, and nothing to worry about as long as files queued up on it get posted as they should. Meanwhile: the weaker element of the readership go nuts.
Prove that we’re not seeing a breach of the First Law of Thermodynamics in action. Dare ya.
I have often wondered where all the heat went.
Tired: staying up late to read the comments.
Wired: getting up early to read the comments.
it’s 6AM for me
I believe we are in the same time zone and should not stay up to read the comic as it updates. Or wake up to read it as it updates, unless that’s what works for your internal body clock/externally dictated sleep schedule anyways…
Wired: staying up late to write the comments. I have most of a 2 liter Coke Zero and several cups of tea in me when that happens.
It creeps in this petty pace from day to day.
To the last syllable of apology letters.
Recorded apology letters.
Let’s go see if there are any more bits handed to me I can screw up.
I guess dryer’s don’t work for everyone. Shame.
They’re less effective with extensive experience.
Er, so I’m told.
Yeah. Go figure. Maybe Dorothy should…
… oh I don’t know…
… go buy herself a fucking actual vibrator already!
Why buy a cow if milk is free? As it were.
*Dull infomercial monotone* For as little as a dollar a day and a dryer sheet, you can sponsor this frustrated college student’s sexual deviancy.
in the arms of an angel starts playing softly in the background as pictures of Dorothy and other sex starved college students pass on the screen
The song about suicide by drug overdose? O_o
its what they use in those “Show you pictures of sad neglected animals so you donate to the animal shelter” commercials.
Was Jonathan Melvoin’s death ruled a suicide?
The sex-starved lesbian newspaper editor gets several pictures from different angles. I think her name started with a D.
From experience the vibes that college kids can afford are about as effective (and apparently longlasting) as a dryer
Although there are many students that couldn’t spare enough for even the simplest of bullet/egg vibes, Dorothy could probably afford a solid mid-tier vibe.
I suspect the reason Dorothy apparently doesn’t have one is that she’d insist on finding the absolute most perfect vibrator in her price range, and she’d get stuck in an obsessive loop of research and spreadsheets, unable to choose one.
Why do people think she doesn’t?
She brought Joyce down here because “Here, use this vibrator” would have been a huge step too far for her. Even if she’s now trying to replicate Joyce’s experience, she’s not trying that hard and she’s mostly angry about other things
Nahh, she’d buy one of each. For…research purposes in the comfort of her own dorm room.
But dryers are extremely effective at the task they’re designed for, and can last for decades if they’re taken care of.
Perhaps a washer with an unbalanced load?
Masturbation techniques and effectiveness can vary WIDELY, yeah. There are some people I know who can only reach orgasm through masturbation in very specific ways (for example, one guy cannot ever orgasm if he’s lying on his back or sitting down. He either has to be on top or standing up.)
Don’t feel bad, it happens to lots of dryers.
Domestic abuse?
Technically it’s a community dryer so this is Public abuse.
Since I assume it requires coins or tokens to operate the laundry machines, it’s a violation of Indiana Code Title 35. Criminal Law and Procedure § 35-45-4-3:
(a) A person who knowingly or intentionally pays, or offers or agrees to pay, money or other property to another person:
(1) for having engaged in, or on the understanding that the other person will engage in, sexual intercourse or other sexual conduct (as defined in IC 35-31.5-2-221.5) with the person or with any other person; or
(2) for having fondled, or on the understanding that the other person will fondle, the genitals of the person or any other person;
commits making an unlawful proposition, a Class A misdemeanor.
This also means that Indiana University is operating or promoting a place of prostitution.
Don’t laugh too long. If the GQP-controlled legislatures in states can prohibit abortions even in the case of rape, incest, or a medical abnormality resulting in an unviable pregnancy, they’d probably try something like this too.
Of course! They’re the types who would call corporations and appliances “people”, but wouldn’t call women “people”.
Ugh.
The second appliances get legally recognized as people, I’m reinventing warfare as humanity knows it.
According to the “Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission” ruling, corporations are defined as people and now have certain rights equal to a flesh-and-blood human with regard to elections and political campaigns; and PeTA has been trying for years to get animals many of the same rights as humans. So now that we have robots that have bridged the Uncanny Valley, autonomous cars, and AI, is only a short step to when these enhanced gizmos ARE considered to be people
But only when it’s useful for corporate power. We’re not going to be giving self-driving cars any rights that companies will have to respect.
Also, that’s not what Citizens United determined. Corporations have been defined as people in at least some sense since the 1886 Supreme Court case, Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. And in some sense, that’s a necessary legal fiction – in order to allow companies to be represented in court and the like.
Only if a clothes dryer is defined to be a “person.”
But then, we’re the state where a legislator tried to make a law redefining pi to make it easier to help his kids with their homework….
I was thinking exactly this. Thank you.
Dorothy’s really going through it, huh.
Oh good, we’re not crazy: Dorothy real is starting to loose it.
… define “good”.
I think she needs to lose it to find herself
Well then she should tighten it.
“ok sure i’m gonna put it next to the repair order for that wall you punched”
Asma’s face tells me that the only reason she hasn’t snapped and killed everyone yet is she won’t give the clickbait sites the satisfaction of writing the headline “Asma Attack!”.
Sorry, I beat you to that pun way back in 2019.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/02-but-the-sun-still-shines/chase/
You really think you can beat a time traveller to anything? He prolly posted this comment several centuries ago.
And if he hasn’t yet, he will.
“How dry I am”
“How dry I am”
“Nobody knows”
“How dry I am”
I was going to quote a Maytag jingle, but I couldn’t find a good one.
I don’t understand what Dorothy is doing here
Defacing public property, it looks like.
Losing it
Going through a drier spell?
Underrated comment of the year lol
She’s frustrated in more ways than one.
My reading of the strip is the time on the dryer ran out before she got off, she got frustrated instead of adding time, and wound up denting the door by kicking it with her heels.
i don’t think so- she still has the vibration lines around her in every panel, there’s nothing to indicate that it stopped at any point.
trying to make the dryer wobble more
she kicked the dryer out of frustration but it wasn’t satisfying and pissed her off more, so she kicked it REALLY HARD and broke it.
Yep. She’s frustrated that she can’t get off using the dryer, enough that she’s kicked it hard enough to break it. This does not bode well for any human that fails to do so, nor any battery or USB-powered device.
Mostly though she’s frustrated about all the other stuff she was talking about yesterday.
Are you implying she’d have beaten Walky if he’d failed to get her off?
Not in the past, no. But today, whatever that means in comic time, I wouldn’t put it past her. As thejeff has pointed out, she’s hella frustrated.
“Cleaning”
Duh, I obviously should have said “Washing” or “Laundry”
I fail at funny today. Sorry
My take is that she got a static shock, and this ruined the mood.
Blaming the dryer isn’t up to her usual standards of rationality … but is very understandable. Taking her frustration out on the dryer with an act of violence, ditto.
She is frustrated at her life and the world? You know, she survived COVID and even managed to get educated while not attending high school for most of high school, none of the established rules in her chosen field work or make sense anymore, her roommate fell into Dorothy’s dream stepping stone and doesn’t even want it and Dorothy can’t even feel mad or petty or anything about it without feeling like shit, her whitebread high school boyfriend she broke up with has had more romantic success than she had and is *currently having a real nice time with the twin of the guy she still loves (who recently became even hotter)*, her undisputed skills as The Joyce Mom Without The Bat are increasingly disputed by her not-daughter herself, and, oh yeah, SHE GOT KIDNAPPED AND ALMOST DIED. After she was almost assaulted or killed on the steps of her dorm. After her now-roommate’s dad brought a gun to school. And again, her world of politics stopped functioning on the rules she was raised to believe in.
During all of this, the one thing remaining consistent is her academics, but keeping on top of it all has been harder than expected, and not as rewarding as it used to be, even without her roommate vaulting over her. This lack of the enthusiasm that seemed so bottomless calls into question Yale, Her Plans, everything. And then, after a week of helping Joyce find pain relief, learn more about her neurochemistry, and (accidentally) have a lovely date night with Joe, and receiving constant push-back and sniping for her troubles… She manages to get *Joyce* of all people to *cum*, and then she can’t even do it herself. And trying to push it along just gets her zapped. Like the universe just doesn’t want a single one of her precious plans fulfilled, unless they are about other people, not her. Her life doesn’t feel like her own, and she increasingly no longer feels like the main character. One swift kick in frustration seems like an understandable thing for a teenager coping with all that to do.
This arc rules.
THANK YOU!
Asma is too good for this shit.
Asma does not get paid enough for this shit
Can confirm, had her job in college.
Asma deserves a fucking medal, really.
I’d say a trophy if anything.
“Here, The Asma, have a trophy!”
Hiure, the Nerdfuldoowop, have a trorphy! (<-Best attempt at a Coach Z accent)
A+ reference, love knowing what a link is without clicking on it and hearing the quote in the voice of the character ^^
That and a bonus strip.
Willis, I hereby respectfully suggest that Asma be the subject of a future Patreon bonus strip… or maybe even a little 5-7 day arc of her own.
https://imgur.com/a/qqb3ZlF
I am only slightly sorry for this.
Safe and warm forever!
Ah, Carla x Joyce. The refined ship for the sophisticated shipper.
You’re not the first person to think that’s Joyce and I’m a little confused as to why.
That’s actually Mary
Not a ship I personally expected, but it would be an intriguing one.
But can she hear the ocean?
ah, so i’m not the only one that thought they were bigger
Joyce brought it up too, actually.
Which might explain why people thinks its Joyce?
boob hugs are nice. luckily i was always short enough for my other girl friends to be taller and hugging right at face height for me XD; tho i certainly didnt grab haha
Joyce still enjoying Carla’s jugs, I see
It’s not Joyce.
Yet.
In awe of how you draw hands
Oh Dorothy, the wumps, the wumps are tapping
It has been 665 days since we last saw Asma, but it has been 1411 days since we last saw someone interact with Asma
I’d be scared to be back-kicked like that… not that I will be riled up if I did.
It’s established that Dorothy is left-handed. Also, presumably, left-footed.
Getting rather concerned for Dorothy at this point. She’s definitely not in a great place right now.
She is pretty clearly not ok.
I’m not sure I quite get this comic. Did she get frustrated with the boxy vibrator not doing it for her, and broke it?
I think she’s just angry and frustrated, unrelated to the dryer thing.
Panel 5 reminds me of some Order of the Stick faces and I kind of love it.
Poor Dorothy. It’s gotta suck being horny after you just gave away your ex. They could be having no commitment hookups right now! This was such a huge bag fumble for her.
Dorothy needs to see a mental health professional before she spirals further
Why, so we can have a Harly Queen to go along with her Joker?
Goes to talk to the guidance councilor equivalent and opens the door to Ethan and Booster necking like two strings of Christmas lights in a blender.
uh i mean, the first thing we see here doing after the timeskip is pretty much therapy ?
She went to see a school counselor. Remember the start of the Halloween arc?
Dorothy is like the only character in this comic who regularly sees a mental health professional
Isn’t Ruth?
We know she was for a while and as they are tweaking her meds we can assume it’s ongoing, but we don’t know how much talking therapy Ruth is getting.
Hi Asma!
Ah, so it’s a SLOW explosion I see.
just buy a dildo like a normal person, Dorothy
i’m surprised she doesn’t some kinda stuff, if not makeshift massagers though it would be hard to find a time alone outside of her and becky having classes at diff times. or just doing a quick casual hookup with some others like mike did lol
She has to stay in the laundry room to tend hers and Joyce’s wash whether or not she has sex toys in her room.
Does she? No one is tending the machines that werewhen they got there
Yeah, but this is Dorothy. She’s not gonna leave their stuff alone.
Hadn’t really considered that as a reason to stay down there.
…please just order a sex toy, Dorothy. It’s healthier, I promise.
and easier! and we conveniently compiled advice on the previous page for when you break the fourth wall!
Better than it overflowing but poor asma. hopefully it’s not too pricey to replace lol
I was thinking about Dorothy’s current story last night while insomnia was holding my melatonin hostage and realised something (a lil painful) that I hadn’t seen mentioned in the comments recently.
A big part of Dotty’s protectiveness of Joyce right now probably stems from the fact that when she let her guard down to talk to Roz at the fateful Yesterday was Thursday party Joyce was roofied and almost SA’d. She probably feels responsible and is hypervigilent about risks. My little sister was SAd at a christmas party I didn’t want to go to years ago and I still feel responsible for it and go with her every time she goes out (and I will verbally throw down with guys she brings home if they make the wrong comment). Cue Marina and the Diamonds “I’m not afraid of god, I am afraid of men”.
Plus she already knows Joe targeted Joyce before because homeschooled girls = easy and doesn’t have the same awareness of his growth since The List. I’d love to see a genuine open convo between her and Joe. It’d be a great step towards resolution.
(Double plus the last couple days really shows her feeling loss of control over her own life and how this impacts how she’s reacting outwardly)
Sorry about your sister. I understand this feeling of protect our loved ones after the world has failed then …
Yeah, I think a lot of what’s happening with Dorothy is coming from her not engaging with Joe or Joyce in open conversation, and not trusting anybody but herself to do things “properly.” This kind of thinking can drag a person into a dark place, along with people close to them… This is kind of at the heart of the dynamic I’ve been struggling to describe for the past week or so.
I’m sorry for your sister. It’s hard to come back from that. It’s a good thing you are aware of your feelings though.
To be honest, talking to Joe about it wouldn’t really help. Unless he really opened up about all his issues, which is a huge ask when they aren’t really friends.
And when she did talk to Joyce, though she didn’t do a good job of directing the conversation anywhere helpful, Joyce also immediately dissolved into a horny puddle of denial about his butt.
Maybe what actually gets her off is handwriting a letter of apology.
In cursive
Copybook perfect cursive but she doesn’t climax until the third page… I’ll be in my bunk.
Asma!!!! What an unexpected delight!
I’m about 100% sure that vibrators can be found within 500 meters of campus.
Probably less as people can just order them off their phones but I guess if your in hurry.
Depends, Ted Cruz outlawed them in Texas.
I’m sure that’s stopped even one person from buying them.
Ted Cruz outlawing them would probably make the vibe market explode.
He tried but the Supreme Court shot it down as an Unconstitutional infringement on personal rights.
Be angry, Dorothy. Don’t be so nice.
Isn’t it true everyone else get to act the role of asshole in their heart’s desire? So let it be, she doesn’t have be a woman that love too much specially Joyce.
I wish we could do what Bugs did in the Gif under that comic. FL either needs to fire DeSantis (in a slowly decaying orbit without a spacesuit) or just go away.
My heels hurt just looking at this
AUGH WHY IS MY STUPID PICTURE STILL THERE I TURNED IT OFF LAST NIGHT
I’m not seeing it on this one
I finally fixed it by going to the gravatar site and straight up deleting the Pic
She kicked the middle of an 18 gauge stamped steel door, that shouldn’t hurt too bad.
I can confirm, unless you’re already pretty bruised in the impact area, such a kick is extremely unlikely to do more than sting a little, and even that’s not very likely.
So I’ve been told, anyway. By a friend. I definitely wasn’t a little asshole that damaged a business’s property as a stupid kid. Ever.
Hard enough to dent it, while just wearing socks?
Yes, and barefoot. Young my friend who isn’t me was very much against shoes and refused to wear them when not forced to do so.
You just gotta make sure you don’t hit toes-first. That’ll hurt like a bongo. The ball of the foot or the heel only.
No no Dorothy, the trick is you put something heavy into the dryer, like a pair of shoes or your backpack. Or so I’ve heard.
Wah wah boohoo, Dorothy broke a dryer. She should go to prison for property damage blah blah blah, real world legal system blah. She’s such a dangerous violent person with angry issue. Blaaaaaah.
yeah I gotta go consume like ten YTPs to get that taste outta my mouth
For reals yo, you made me chuckle there Taffy. Thank you.
I just can’t stop laugh at how Dorothy this is. The PROPER respons if you fuck an appliece to destruction is to slip away in shame and never mention it to a living soul and let whoever poor overworked and underpaid person has to deal with shit like that deal with it.
But not future president Keener, oh no. She stands up for her mistakes and write an appology letter.
If she doesn’t, it will inevitably come out during her campaign or at her senate confirmation hearing.
She’s leaving written evidence. You don’t ever want to do that. Suppose certain members of the Supreme Court or other high offices had written letters of apology.
Yeah, more like “if she does, it will come out in the future”. Dorothy is a fun character because she is so well suited for governing, and so terribly terribly suited for politics.
Dorothy’s crisis won’t be solved by a vibrator. She has a long term dream she’s bypassing. She sacrificed a relationship to that dream. She’s working to “fix” Joyce. Her life has gone sideways and she’s not sure about how to move forward. She’s about as aimless as the the rest of the cast.
Is it really that difficult to buy a vibrator in the US? 🤨
Honestly, this solution looks needlessly uncomfortable and exposed (except that is their kink, then I won‘t shame).
I think you can kink shame, if the kink involves other people that are unaware and/or unwilling participants
Judging by the fact that Sarah has one, I assume it’s more of an embarrassment thing. (Also not wanting to ‘lose’ to Roz. There was the birth control thing, and the unofficial RA competition.)
Do y’all people are really think the problem here is Dorothy don’t having a vibrator????
Apparently and it’s really confusing me.
What, you’re saying a single gooning session isn’t gonna fix Dorothy? Sounds fake. Everyone knows a single bust will immediately solve every problem a human has.
I thought she kicked the drier because she was mad.
It kinda is. Why else would you use a household appliance for that?
Deniability?
She’s in Indiana and wants to do politics.
I think she mostly just hasn’t considered it, but probably that too (although I personally would have found a loophole (ie giving a friend cash to pick one up or to order online for me via under their name, though on the other hand Dorothy seems to suffer the belief that many others are as into being a politician as her, so maybe not))
Buying an ultra basic, positively vanilla, sex toy would hardly jeopardize your political career, wouldn’t it?
Humping a dryer on the other hand, in a public space no less … Now that’s something for the tabloids.
Because it was a way to ease Joyce into it. And now, because she was down there waiting for the laundry to finish anyway.
I don’t think it’s THE problem, the important problem. But I do think it is a problem
ctn’d, especially for this immediate several pages, where she is trying to get off to get herself over Walky, just as she wanted to get Joyce off to get Joyce over Joe (not that I think either of those is a very good strategy)
There seem to be a significant number of people trying desperately to pretend when people said “Dorothy is being shit about consent” they ACTUALLY meant “Dorothy is full time evil!!!!1” and then making sarcastic comments in that vein.
Personally, I’m just feeling vindicated that ol’ Dottie is, with every strip since the interlude, revealing that she is 150% NOT OKAY and clearly needs to (as the kids say) check herself before she wrecks
herselfthe dryer.I’ve been trying to play it as straight as possible when I argue that Dorothy’s behavior is unhealthy, so it’s definitely been frustrating to see people reacting with hyperbole like that. I try to engage with everyone in good faith when they talk to me, especially people who disagree.
Ultimately, I haven’t been trying to argue that Dorothy is some kind of sick freak… Many people who otherwise come across as completely normal can get stuck in toxic behavioral patterns unintentionally, which can hurt themselves and those close to them. I actually really treasure Dorothy as a character because what she’s doing is shedding a light on this kind of relationship.
When I try to point these things out, my end goal isn’t to say Dorothy is inherently some kind of villain, just that she needs therapy lol. She needs to stop trying to “fix” things and let her friends do their own thing.
Nobody cares about the Dorothy assassination. We were reacting to the insinuations that our IRL mortality was at stake if we didn’t object strongly to her in-comic actions.
… mortality or morality? (Have migraine; can’t work it out. Getting to opt out of being mortal without any of the usual pesky downsides – e.g. losing soul/human blood addiction – just by not objecting to a comic character with control issues seems like a pretty good deal!)
You maybe didn’t, but a lot of people did, and made a point that it was about Dorothy and the only reason we could dislike was the situation was our own negative feelings about Dorothy. Sorry about anyone on this side of this argument that implied you’re a predator or apologist, I missed that but the comments do get wild so I believe you.
People also said things like those who didn’t like the arc or Dorothy’s actions must not have friends, have issues with sex, things like that. (I think the ones that criticize the side you’re on stick in your mind more, but I saw personal attacks being lobbed at, like… anyone who had an opinion.)
we all shoulda just said ‘this sure is a comic’
Also, a thought–given that Dorothy is getting NOTHING stimulation-wise from this dryer, I now rate Joyce’s “post-orgasm bliss” as having a 5% chance of “Joyce faking it to mess with Dorothy”.
Asma’s thoughts: “I do not get paid enough to deal with cheap-ass girls who can’t shell out the money for a vibrator.”
Enough with the vibrator talk. She’s finishing the laundry, not herself. Unless she’s a 24th level coomer, that dryer isn’t gonna help when she’s pissed off like this.
So to distract from vibrators… do you hang laundry outside or even inside to dry or do most Americans just use drying machines?
If I leave laundry out on a line, it’s gonna get stolen by a passing crackhead. If I do the same thing but indoors, the cat will jump up, pull it down, and puke on it. The machine is the only place my laundry is safe.
Indoor drying rack, in the summer often assisted by a fan (humidity).
Linens are the only thing I put in the dryer. That’s a combination of laziness (timing between done and over-dried, and leaving things to wrinkle too often) and not wanting to shrink cotton clothing.
My cat will play with a few things but not the contents of the dryer rack.
PS This is coin-op yet onsite laundry. If the drying were free and right inside my apartment I’d use it more.
Most of the places I have lived in America had drying machines.
I’ve got a dryer that I only use occasionally now that I have a house with a yard for clotheslines. And a dry basement I can hang stuff in if necessary.
Used them much more in my apartment days.
I have a moisture-sensing dryer that turns the heat off when the laundry is dry but continues to tumble with just the fan blowing to prevent wrinkles. Our kids bought us a washer and dryer, I’m thinking, 15 years ago(?), and we repaired the dryer once and recently replaced the washer (again as a gift from the kids). If your elderly parents have been packing their laundry over half a mile each way, consider buying them a washer and dryer.
Oh, dryer every time. I never have, and hopefully never will, hung laundry to dry. We have technology for this, why would I ever do things the hard way?
Canadian, but pretty much just dryers? If one has a big and preferably private yard they might have a line outside for use in the dry seasons. I think hanging your laundry inside is mostly considered an eco friendly thing or saving on utilities.
I use an indoor drying rack.
Cause I’m cheap.
Immediate punishment by the universe for outwardly expressing her frustrations –> spiralling into guilt and panic, and continuing to bottle it up =\
I do think Dorothy would benefit from taking out her frustrations privately rather than abusing this poor, put upon dormitory appliance. Though I also know a few women who, in spite of being vocally sex positive, still aren’t totally comfortable buying sex toys. Or they wouldn’t be comfortable taking them to a college dorm where actual privacy is a rare treasure. American puritanism is a pernicious beast. So if Dorothy happens to not have one or doesn’t want to buy one, I don’t blame her for it.
Now, I know there are a small number of people here who feel personally slighted by criticism of cartoon people, so let me be clear. I only mean to say that Dorothy, in this context, would benefit from finding a healthier way to deal with her frustration than breaking a communal dryer. I am not saying that you, oh flesh and blood reader of cartoons, are a violent, irrational maniac who can’t be trusted not to destroy the commons without a vibrator to contain your sizable fury.
I accidentally hit Flag and now my inner Dorothy is telling me I should submit a formal letter of apology. I shall ignore her as she is much easier ignore than my inner Mike.
Which reminds me. I was going to say “How dare you! I guess I know better than you whether my fury can destroy the commons, with or without a vibrator!”
I’m really worried for Dorothy. Today she kicked a dryer, tomorrow she could have an existential crisis and start crying in the shower or on her books.
ASMA!
Always a joy to see her.
After tomorrows comic I crave Dorothy trying to ‘steal’ Walky 2.0 DoA redux edition. Obv, a reflection of itswalky Dorothy. I like non-yale bound Dorothy, as someone who tends to masterbate above clothing fingers by clit only I think she showed Joyce something she can digest and still finish from.
