“overdressed” is super easy to fix tho *wink wink*
_Walky_ being the overdressed one? Not a common thing.
when in Rome. that’s in France, right?
…technically ? There’s a halmet with that name 70km N NW of Paris.
Did I once get lost there, proving that all the roads indeed lead to Rôme ? You can’t prove it !
Rome was in France from February 1798 to September 1799.
Underrated Napoleonic Occupation joke, technically I think the annexation into the French Empire from 1808 to the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1815 would also count.
But after you entered the room, and said it loud to everyone there? It’s easier if Walky was on underwear before.
If he’s the only one wearing pants, that’s a super easy fix *wink wink*
I wonder how one launders a giant stuffed velociraptor?
Dry cleaner?
wet wipes and febreeze maybe
Nah, that’s just gonna mask it. Dry cleaner is the way to go but the size makes that seem like a real hassle to do. I can’t think of anything actually practical though.
Maybe an upholstery steam-vacuum cleaner?
Do you reckon it’d work on a dinosaur that size? This plush I think is something that actually exists IRL?
Oh sure. Just a little bit at a time. One of those handheld vacuum/steam wands. Slow going, though!
If you were to rinse the whole thing, though, you might get the stuffing wet and it could get moldy.
A UVC wand would be too dangerous to wield.
In more Southern latitudes, you can put large cloth furniture out in the sun (perhaps wrapped in contractors’ plastic for extra heat) and just let the sun destroy any bacteria or bugs or mold. Northern climes like Indiana, though, I don’t know what large enough space could get hot enough.
We are still wincing from a 100° day in a week of upper 90s. Few clouds, plenty of UVB. (Humid, though.) IN has a mid-continent climate, which means rather low and high temperatures, by turns.
Indiana being a Northern clime amuses me.
How hot do you think it needs to get? It probably does so less often, but unless it needs to be well into dangerously hot, there will be chances.
None of them however since Becky and Dina had sex – since it’s still January. That’s likely to be true in the South as well for January.
I didn’t realize Indiana got so warm. I’m talking dangerously hot (say, 110) AND dry. Leave it out all day wrapped in clear or black plastic for extra greenhouse effect, and anything microbial, fungal, or otherwise WILL die.
I didn’t realize Indiana wasn’t considered a northern climate. Up near the Lake Michigan shore it is, though, right? I’m just thinking of those freezing winters depicted. But, yes, there can be extremes on both ends… I wasn’t taking that into account.
Okay, if you’re really talking 110 and dry, that’s more extreme than I was thinking. Even most of the South doesn’t do that, even if only because it’ll be 110 and humid.
Yeah, you’re right. That’s more Southwest weather. Southeast is humid. OK, so, 100 degrees in Indiana, plus wrapped in contractor plastic to trap the heat, and we’re golden!
;-D
Technically, anything Oklahoma or north is part of the frozen wastelands.
I wonder if Carla’s engineering expertise includes engineering cleaners and fabrics… 🧪
With great difficulty, I would imagine.
Steam cleaner?
Spritz it with vodka. Kills germs and removes smells.
And evaporates quickly. Good call. Might affect the fabric dye though.
Window cleaner. Seriously.
It cleans from blood to cat pee denaturing the proteins in fluids. I saved an entire beanbag chair my (otherwise healthy and spayed) very neurotic cat was obsessed with; and it barely affects the color.
Basically the same way you’d clean a couch or even a mattress.
Yeah, that velociraptor can’t be the easiest to clean.
Dinosaur
Smells like sex
Pantsless girls
This is a cool room
All they need is some weed gummies and this can be a party!
If only I can teleport mine. I got new edibles to try yesterday — raspberry edibles that are supposed to help with ADHD, a chocolate bar and a pineapple express drink.
Those help with adhd?
:O
The edibles were designed to help with a chocolate bar and a Pineapple Express drink or is that just an unintended side benefit?
(Multivitamin gummies will do in a pinch, per Joe)
It’s a cool room until your girlfriend who lives in the same hall shows up and finds you in a room that smells like sex with your pantsless ex.
I’m not sure if it is better or worse that it’s not the ex-girlfriend that recently tried to get back together with him and instead the ex who recently pretended to be back together with him for comedic purposes.
Lucy lives in a different dorm. She’d have to know where to look for him.
I would be surprised to learn that Lucy has not found out where Walky’s room is.
But they’re not in Walky’s room. That’s the whole point.
Dina can theoretically vouch for his innocence
We’ll know if things are going to fall apart if she bails
Open the door
get on the floor
Everybody smell
the DI-NA-SAUR
Boom-boom, acka-lacka-lacka, boom
Goom-Goom, acka-lacka Goomba
(Because that’s my childhood’s version.)
This is the best room! I like that Walky is always chill to be around, like he doesn’t make anyone uncomfortable or have other motives. He just wants snacks and video games
It makes me so sad that amber has what looks like the fortnite joycons
we have those colors and i’m pretty sure they’re not fortnight
i chose them because they’re, y’know, amazi-girl colors
Good choice, honestly.
Oh, so Dumbing of Age is like the Switch Pokemon games, where the comic automatically matches the artist’s Joy-Con colors :p
i mean i have more than the one set, but i chose that particular set for Amber
The Pokémon games do something with your Joycon colors? I’ve beaten Shield (beating the Champion counts) and never noticed that.
the in game depiction of the switch in the player character’s room matches the physical joycons in your hand
That’s fucked up and creepy.
Really? I think its kinda cute
That’s the scariest response you could have given.
Y-you know it’s just a quirk based on the console knowing what controllers are connected, right? It’s not like Game Freak is peeking in your windows and updating the game based on camera footage.
That’s what they want you to think.
That’s what I want me to think!
Not really. It’s just the game knowing what controllers are connected and personalizing something for you.
nice touch, coordinating the colors of the joycons
A fair point, but consider that she’s got a very well-established color scheme that must subtly appear in as many of her belongings as possible. This is a small price to pay for maintaining her personal brand.
I’ve seen that exact combo sold at Walmart.
i know fortnite is huge and all but can tehy rly copyright blue nad yellow as a color combo lol
Of course they can’t copyright it. That’s what trademarking is for.
someone inform Ukraine.
Between yesterday’s remark about the chip bag looking a little too Russian and this one about the Joycons being Ukrainian, I’m starting to wonder about this comic.
Dear Ukraine, Your flag violates our trademark. You’ll have to adopt a new one.
I wouldn’t put it past a big-name video game company to pull a stunt like that. Hell, I’m sure if I rewatch some old episodes of The Jimquisition, I’ll find out they’ve covered something that rhymes.
As far as i was aware they only sell blue & yellow as the fortnite ones. Unless its the blue and neon yellow
The Fortnite ones have a weird smiley face on the yellow controller. We have no evidence to support these being that.
Not beyond the bounds of possibility
Becky (suddenly materializing): Why, yes. Yes, it does.
Well, its at least good to see that Walky isn’t so slovenly that he’ll go into the women’s wing of the dorm without putting something resembling pants on…
But yeah, we’re 100% on course for Three’s Company territory, lets see how this actually goes…
DINA STRIP!!!! Awe shit video games AND hanging out with Amber and Dina and a dinosaur, Walky you so lucky 🥺🦖
🤩
*plays “Yoshi Star Galaxy” from Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Amber’s PC*
She’s already wearing no pants; how much more do you want her to strip?
I assume that was a rhetorical question.
Dumbing of Age Book 14: It Smells Kinda Like Sex
Smells like teen dinosex
I’d make a joke about the plush really being a sexual tyrannosaurus, but then Dina would Hompk at me.
Nah, but Jesse “Blain” Ventura will appear and stuff some chewing tobacco in your mouth. (Just before the Predator’s plasma cannon blasts a hole in his chest)
Who’s that lounging in that . . . velociraptor?!
Where they watched Gabriel Gornel’s 2010 masterpiece: tyrannosaurus sex
Re: Alt-Text,
France? Pika pika? I don’t get the joke here…
Pre-internet meme in the form of a song. “There’s a place in France, where the ladies wear no pants…”
We’re talking like late 1800s, early 1900s type deal.
An old childlore song, to the tune of “The Streets of Cairo,” with lyrics beginning “There’s a place in France where the ladies wear no pants.”
I’ve only ever heard it as “where the naked ladies dance”. Never heard of “The Streets of Cairo”, though.
Need to see a “soda vs pop vs coke” map, but for exactly what’s happening in that place in France.
Seems like the ladies get up to a lot of things, typically involving a lack of pants and other clothes.
I mean, they’re not out in the open or anything. They’re being clothing optional in private.
Unfortunately, I hear there’s a hole in the wall where the boys can see it all.
Now see, the version I was taught me in my youth went:
All the girls in France
They wear hoochy coochy pants
With their asses in the air
They wear no underwear
And the boys don’t care
Cause they’d rather see them bare.
I figure the origin has to be British, because the English will never bypass the opportunity to slander the French.
That’s three separate cases of the women having their lower bodies exposed, with explicit mention of either pants or nudity. How far does this rabbit hole go? Is the rabbit wearing fishnets and a corset?
How far does the rabbit hole go? Offhand, I’d say France. Though if the rabbit is wearing fishnet and a corset, it should probably have turned left at Albuquerque.
It can’t be British. France doesn’t rhyme with pants in most of Britain.
See, I always heard it as, “I see London, I see France. I see ____’s underpants,” where _____ was the one the singer was trying to tease. See, it’s equal-opportunity Gallophobia and Anglophobia.
Laura, that’s a different one!
There are lots of primary [elementary] school playground ditties about pants/nudity…
Also domestic violence. Hopefully correctly spoiler-tagged in case anybody doesn’t get the reference and would rather not/could find it triggering… If your boyfriend gives you an apple, a pear, a kiss on the lips, then throws you down the stairs, the correct course of action is apparently to give him back the apple, pear, kiss on the lips – then throw HIM down the stairs.
Two rights and all…But in the part of the greater London area where I grew up at least, we used to sing this particular one as “There’s a place in France where the naked ladies dance/there’s a hole in the wall where the boys can see it all… Dance and France rhyme, pants does not rhyme with them.
Ah – apparently tags don’t show up here
Ok, I do know that tune:
“There’s a place on Mars where the children smoke cigars
And the boys wear bikinis and the children drink martinis.
Every birthday cake is enough to fill a snake.
When the snake is dead they put roses on its head.
When the roses dry, they put diamonds in its eye.
When the diamonds crack, they put mustard on its back.
When the mustard fades, they put it all in the Everglades.”
…Hmm, I was thinking that might be milder in terms of its depictions of abuse, but then I thought of that poor snake… at least the snake got to eat all the birthday cake and then later die of natural causes after a long and full life, before the children started to bedeck it with roses, mustard, and diamonds and give it an Everglades burial.
Perhaps, the snake wasn’t dead at all, and the children simply found its shed skin and assumed it had sloughed off its mortal coil as well, before performing these elaborate and bizarre funerary rituals!
…Anyway, it’s good for keeping time while jumping rope!
Why do they put mustard on it’s back?
Is that because it’s an edible snake that tastes like chicken or something?
Silly NGPZ, all snakes are edible, but they’re kind of a pain to cook. You gotta be real careful or they come out tough as fuck.
Well, snake does taste like chicken, from what I’ve heard. My mom has tried it. I do not recall ever tasting it myself. It’s wild how adventuresome my mom is!
But no, NG, the real reason is that “back” rhymes with “crack” and “fades” rhymes with “Everglades,” and, as a kid, I always got the Everglades and the Pine Barrens mixed up, but that one didn’t rhyme. So you just say what comes next in the skip-rope song.
And Miri, yes, I did hear some Dark AF clapping game songs, sometimes about the darkest of topics. That one was relatively mild.
This scans to Take it Off by Ke$ha as well
Dumbing of Age, Book 14: The Only One Here Wearin’ Pants
genuine LOL IRL at the alt text
…I don’t get it
Check answers to my question below, apparently it’s a century-or-more-old earthling meme thing
Vesexoraptor
V-licks-oraptor?
pussy juice dinosaur
must collect scientific samples… 🧪
Wow, looks like they’re not gonna violently fist each other to orgasm while they stream it to Lucy and Linda, what a surprise.
And Walky’s wearing pants, which also is extremely surprising and not at all easily inferred. Also, Amber has explicitly referred to the console as a Switch, which shouldn’t be remarkable but people had a weird hangup about it a while back.
Everything’s comin’ up normal so far.
I am shocked all the drama didn’t play out in one strip.
Sitting in the corner playing a borrowed video game isn’t very good foreplay, and if Lucy came by to visit, I have a feeling she’d simply join in. She trusted Amber enough to leave the two to their own devices for what seems like multiple hours, after all.
drama doesn’t need to mean they’d be fucking as Lucy walks in. She has insecurities, they’re going to build up because he won’t talk to her about what he should be, so all she can do is guess.
“oh, you can’t leave, you have to stay in this room to play” maybe Willis is teasing us, but that’s what setting up a situation looks like.
It’s also what not wanting your expensive Game Boy to get potentially damaged looks like. Walky’s a known dipshit, and anything in his hands has a higher than usual chance of being ruined, or at least smeared with food and not properly cleaned before he returns it. This way, she can keep an eye on her console and not have to wonder what’s happening to it.
As for Lucy, someone’s gonna have to walk me very carefully through how this is anything for her to suddenly become insecure about, when just yesterday she was fine with Amber telling multiple humans that Walky was her boyfriend. I’ve also seen a lot of fixation on Amber’s lack of pants, and maybe it’s just because nobody I’ve ever lived with or visited has felt the need to put on pants in their own living space just because I was around, but I genuinely don’t understand the hangup. He’s in her domain now, her thighs are law.
Jesus fucking Christ. Straight people get insecure about little shit like that all the time, stop acting new.
Motherfucker, do I act as if I know what straight people are like? I barely know what normal people are like.
Doesn’t seem like a stretch to be a bit insecure about your Boyfriend hanging out in his pantsless ex’s dorm.
I’m just gonna chalk this up as an irreconcilable difference in mindset, honestly. I don’t think like that, so it just doesn’t make sense except as one of those things other people care about.
See, there’s your problem. You’re expecting insecurities to make sense.
Insecurities are complete nonsense, which makes them ten times worse.
Of course not. Dina’s in the room.
… I thought you meant Dina and Becky videoing violent fisting to Linda and Lucy for a second and was really confused as to why on earth they would do, before I realised you meant Amber and Walky.
On one hand, he’s got pants on, and Dina is present.
On another, if Lucy goes to find him and he’s like, hanging out on a dinosaur that smells like sex with one pantsless girl and his sorta ex is also there and also in her undies, I could see assumptions being made.
Then again, I dunno, Lucy works with Dina’s girlfriend, and thus knows she’s pretttttty taken.
I don’t remember anything about Lucy working at galassos. When did that happen?
I swear I’ve seen her in a lineup of employees there at some point. Might have been on Patreon.
I think you’re thinking of Sidney Yuss, who will absolutely make you rue the day you forgot about her.
If Sidney isn’t on-panel, I’m never thinking about them, guaranteed. Also Lucy looks completely different to Sidney, there’s no way I’d get them confused.
She definitely works there, I don’t have patreon but I recall her mentioning her shift from these here main comics
for example: https://www.dumbingofage.com/brazenly/
Yep, she works at Galasso’s. It came up when they had their first date, and Walky mentions choosing somewhere other than where she works, which she appreciated.
Huh, so she does! Guess that means Sydney Yuss will take vengeance on me for daring to think anyone could confuse her for anyone else.
Maybe the problem turns out to be that Lucy owns a switch too, but Walky chose to hang out with Amber instead?
I feel like that’d be more of an issue, yeah, having that lesson in the relationship of occupying their own spaces and that sometimes we need to decompress away from one another. Hopefully she’ll be able to get that, but this is her first relationship, so it’s not necessarily a given her feelings wouldn’t get hurt.
I wonder what kind of games Ambs got on her Switch? She finish TotK? She a Mario girl? I mean I guess you’d have to be, cause 1st party games are the main reason for owning a Switch.
I hope Walky realizes his saves don’t transfer over. He’s gonna have to restart Bayonetta 3. Unless the Booster siblings sprung for Nintendo Online, but did they even let him make a profile? I got lots of questions. Lots of important gaming questions!
We don’t have a single Mario game on my girlfriend’s Switch, but we do have all of the Wild Era Legend of Zelda games, so you might be on to something with that first-party thing. Actually, I don’t think we have any games that aren’t compatible with the Zelda Amiibos.
Didn’t amber and Sal play mariocart against each other early in their interactions?
That was a Mario Kart for DS. Unless the sliding timescale has caused the console to transmute into a new form.
Sal might not have a Switch, Amber’s almost certainly moved to MK8DX
I reckon she’s got a few JRPGs and mayhaps a Fire Emblem mixed in there, too. For the shipping.
Yeah, she’s definitely into Fire Emblem. Those games have basically become shipping simulators. I bet she also makes kaizo levels in Mario Maker, but like actually fun ones and not cheap enemy spam ones with hidden dev exits. We’ve established she has Mario Kart. Smash maybe although Amber weirdly doesn’t seem like a Smash player to me or into any fighting games for that matter.
Pokemon obviously. If she plays Go she probably plays all of them. Can’t think of any titles that really stick out. She has to have played Metroid Dread right. Who doesn’t love Samus? I wanna say Luigi’s Mansion cause those are my favorite, but she might just think Luigi’s a dweeb.
Splatoon maybe, but only when it’s a splatfest topic she cares about.
Any ideas on what games Walky likes? I bet he’s an Arms enjoyer! There are dozens of them! Charlie had it on her Switch but only played it once before forgetting about it after it dropped into her library off the homescreen. Now Walky’s upset Amber doesn’t have it.
I dunno about first party stuff. I hate the Wild games with a passion, not really a Mario fan … but I want to play Bayonetta 3 and Monster Rancher Kaiju, so as soon as I can find a switch for a reasonable price, it’s mine.
And then I guess I’ll see if there’s anything else worth playing, although I kinda doubt it.
Guess you’ll have to take your pants off. You don’t wanna stick out.
Oh, it he takes off his pants he’ll be stickin’ out, alright
gottem!
Oh, like his penis.
every day i read DOA and solemnly wonder how much dried bodily fluid was on like everything in my college dorms. hm.
I’d normally go “truth over solace”, yanno. But not in this.
Never in this.
If it makes you feel any better, fish have sex in the water you drink, and have been doing so for hundreds of millions of years.
Well, that certainly makes me feel better.
I just want to know how they got into the distilled water.
Because of homeopathy, distilled water has had umpteen gazillion times more fish having sex in it than water where you can see the roe and milt.
what, dina has a giant stuffed velociraptor and you want her to not have sex on it? fuckin’ straight people smh.
fucking love dina.
me too bruh 🥹🥰🦖🦕
🤩
I love that she’s become more self-confident since hooking up with Becky.
Since it’s been literally years since the arc, can someone remind me why Walky and Amber/AG stopped hooking up?
He was an ass about Mike “not really being dead” and Amber decked him. Check out the Halloween party, there’s some good stuff.
Oh shit that’s right. Man maybe Amber is too good for him
I find him an ass a lot of the time, but in the case of the halloween party, going to a party to not think about recently dead roommate is a reasonable expectation. Someone else decided to bring the mood way down.
Changing the subject or, in my experience, asking someone to change a song works fine in the conversation scope, but when someone else decides impromptu “everyone here must all grieve this other way right now” that’s kind of a no-win situation for him.
Failed link was him changing the subject when someone brought up Mike’s funeral in conversation.
Yeah, it’s worth remembering he’s pretty messed up about Mike’s death too and that’s how he was coping with it.
I’d say third most affected after Ethan and Amber. Of the actual cast, not counting parents, etc.
not to be the guy coming in and immediately starting shit
(absolutely the guy to come in and immediately start shit)
how colossally self-centered of walky to think he could WALK OUT OF THE ROOM with amber’s switch, lmao. i really should have seen it coming, it’s exactly on brand
To be fair his original request was specifically to borrow it, which implies taking it with him.
Do friends not let other friends borrow their handheld devices?
It’s a $250 handheld device!
I am possibly showing my bias here, I use my Switch primarily as a console, not as a handheld. But yeah also they’re pretty expensive.
I think my eyebrows would go up less if we were discussing a PSP or a Steam Deck, maybe, but they’d still go up a little.
Pretty sure a steam deck is more expensive than a switch
But it’s a bargain compared to the handheld PCs that came out after it.
And so much harder to get. A steam deck is way more valuable than a switch
I mean, I wouldn’t classify Amber and Walky as friends at this point tbh
My friend that I know is responsible and will return it in the same condition? Yes
My friend who is a bit of a manchild with no sense of care for things, even ones that are not his? No no no no
Lol totally fair.
BTW how many folk here think that Becky and Dina recently just fucked again?
That is astute
I mean, according to one bonus strip, the smell could just be from not being able to wash the dino since last time they did it…
Look at Dina’s hair. They definitely fucked like 20 minutes ago, I can tell.
are you sure that’s a steady surrogate? there are two instances where messy hair was present and no fucking occurred:
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/chirpchirp/
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/floor-3/
It’s a clue, not the entire thesis. Trust me, they went to Shag City approximately 21 minutes before Walky knocked on that door.
Any other evidence to support your hypothesis? What about evidence against?
I mean, I WANT to believe it, but for some reason I am compelled to approach this scientifically…
My evidence is that Dina’s insanely hot and I want it to be true. Any evidence to the contrary can be thrown out.
“She’s standing right behind me isn’t she?”
– You 5 seconds later.
…Y’know, I wanna say “I wish”, but Dina’s like 11 years younger than me, and that’s to big of a gap for my tastes.
Who said it’d be a sexual encounter?
Well, now I’m just confused. What else would an unreasonably attractive cartoon woman be after, coming out of the comic and appearing behind me?
Giving you a lesson about epistemology, given science IS her special interest.
Becky is inside the raptor and they’re having sex right now. The proof is you can’t see Becky, so she must be inside the velociraptor.
If that were true, Becky would have clearly been tagged.
…That’s what they WANT you to think!
;-D
DYW has been known to withhold tags until a character is revealed to be in a scene, then go back and tag them into pages where they were present but unnoticed before. He can do it again.
sauce?
Think about how long ago it was that Walky and Amber couldn’t stop tearing each other’s clothes off and now they’re like “I have bribed you with snacks, may I have a crumb of Nintendo”
The key to Amber’s heart? Nachitos. Walky knows this.
The key to Walky’s heart? Nintendo. Amber knows this. (Although, to be fair, probably a lot of people do.)
They may not be tearing each other’s clothes off, but these two still know each other way too well not to be a couple. (Welcome aboard the SS “Walky and anyone but Lucy”)
Logically, that would include Walky and Mary.
Also Walky and Sal and Walky and Beef.
Walky DOES love burger…
a lingering doubt pushed me to verify, but no, there is no village named Astute , in France or otherwise.
But did you check for possible translations of Astute into French. Such as Astucieux?
no, but feel free to.
but WHY isn’t he hanging out in a room that smells like sex with a pantsless LUCY?!!? HARRUMPH! FIE!
Amber lives on the same floor of the same dorm as Walky, and is likely to have a game console.
Jennifer is there
Mannn I think I’ve mentioned this before but when Walky and Dotty wanted to bone down they just chucked Sierra out of the room before she even realized what was happening, and went at it repeatedly while Dina could easily hear them from the half-bath. This aint about modesty or shyness. Walky has repeatedly shown very little real motivation to make any real physical progress with the blatantly eager Lucy. It’s frustrating >:(
I’m thinking how hard it is to clean a giant plush doll. Probably the only solution is first ensuring it’s free of humidity, then putting it in a giant freezer to kill the germs, then loaning one of those expensive ozone generators they use to de-smell smoking hotel rooms, and then shake it well, maybe with a crane.
That might work. Or spray it down with dilute hypochlorous acid, let it degrade to saline in the sun, and then shake = vacuum off the salt crystals..
I’d recommended window cleaner further up the comments section but at that size you’d need several bottles. And also, your best bet would be using a paint spray gun lest you kill your tendons.
One of those water extraction machines made for cleaning upholstery would probably work.
Yes, I’d give steam cleaning a try. Or gut it, clean, then restuff.
I bet Dina and Becky could make that activity into a sex thing.
Yes there are vacant spots on the dinosaur, Walky.
That doesn’t mean you can rest your pants wearing butt on it.
It might mean that, but I feel you should get clarification.
Okay, I mean thematically this would be heading towards comical misunderstanding, long game this could be setting up to walky and amber reconnecting. I say this because this is exactly how I ended up with a boyfriend at 16-17 years old, we had been school friends and I wrote him off, then he “had” to hang out at my place regularly and play video games because I was close enough to school to walk and his dad’s work hours had changed, 6 months later after a Lot of UST, we were A Thing.
Clearly not at this first encounter if the latter, Amber and Walky have both made it clear in this strip that neither intend to be overly social.
Ya know, as oddly suggestive as this situation is, i kind of hope this is just a platonically relaxing moment where some humans hang out in a room playing video games and it’s not about sex or drama at all. Might be kind of refreshing, right? …Right…..?
How about resolving some old drama? Somehow they come to be talking about the Mike thing, talk out their issues now that they have some distance from the incident. Dina, never looking up from her book, offers a perspective completely different from either of theirs. Friendly reconciliation ensues, and Amber and Walky end up playing a game together. End of scene.
It’s thereafter always available for some future self-doubt.
“Amber, I’m playing Nintendo with a girl without pants near a giant dinosaur that smells like lesbian sex, and I have never been less aroused.”
“Do you want me to start reading my Ultra Magnus/Rodimus slashfix”
“I’m leaving.”
that dinosaur has seen some stuff lol
So the premise is that Walky will play Nintendo with Amber all day then come home smelling of sex?
And Lucy will draw CONCLUSIONS.
I think its the uncertainty that will eat at Lucy, not her jumping to conclusions. Lucy prefers to think she knows what Walky’s thinking and feeling, but she has insecurities, she doesn’t actually know. I don’t think Walky knows entirely.
Lucy walking in on Walky and Amber fucking would be the least dramatic version of what could happen. Then she’d get to go straight to anger or disinterest or whatever else her feelings would be. As much as it would probably suck, it would be better than Schroedinger’s emotion.
And Walky would have decisions made for him, and it would be pretty evident to him there was more chemistry between him and Amber than Lucy.
Well, have fun Walky!
Calling it now.
(this is for you @Taffy =P)
Hell yeah. We dig a good walk_in tag.
How is it possible that I’m the only one who is surprised by Dina reading in a room that seemed to be completely darkened during all of Walky’s and Amber’s negotiations? (I guess everyone got distracted by pants, dinosaurs and the smell of sex)
