i’m surprsied there wouldn’t be some underground section that’d connect the buildings, if only for evacuations/emergencies as opposed to physically going outside building to buildling lol
The only thing that MIGHT connect the buildings would be underground steam pipes left over from the days when there was a central power plant on campus providing heat to the various buildings. DEFINITELY not suitable for transit between buildings.
And even then, they would probably only connect to the oldest buildings on campus.
On my campus (MIT), back in the 70s, I wandered around via the steam tunnels. Of course we weren’t supposed to, and you did need to keep away from the steam pipes because they were _hot_, but the tunnels did work.
in my LITERAL DREAMS there were tunnels connecting everything from my parents’ house to the neighbouring houses to A MALL and all of it was totally not sketchy or anything and would have worked perfectly IRL
Carla: Greetings, summon your sister via telepathic link at once, I have coture to display.
Booster: Come again?
Carla: You can’t do that? So this really is just the room where they store useless spare twins? What’s the point of either of you if not to conjure your cooler sisters?
It’s a good point though. Carla has expressed attraction to Malaya who is non binary. They was presenting female at the time Carla was crushing on her but was that the factor cause Carla seemed way more into Malaya’s overall dominant personality.
Yeah, which could be due to that, but also might be because Carla I imagine knows about Marcie’s feelings on the matter, and Carla and her get on well so she wouldn’t likely pursue.
what hall is charlie in exactly? i don’t think we know who her roommate is either
tho carla could still use it as an opportunity to guilt trip them into helping more, if not just hang around booster all day in the chance charlie might come over and visit
Then why is Booster reaping all the reward? Although honestly, I really dislike Booster gatekeeping their sister’s relationships. Charlie’s innate obliviousness is the only real factor making any of this whole scenario okay to me.
It’s less that, probably, and more that Carla keeps going to Booster and asking them for help/input. If Carla approached Charlie directly, I doubt Booster would have anywhere near as much to say about it.
Yeah, it seems that Booster is putting conditions on them helping Carla meet Charlie. To my recollection, Booster hasn’t expressed an opinion about what Carla (or Charlie) choose to do on their own.
If I’m remembering correctly Booster has expressed distaste at being “twin-shackled to a billionaire” their opinions igniting debate in the comments. Tense Thanksgiving conversations and stuff about not paying taxes ect. It seems like Booster has been against it and Carla’s persistence has been slowly wearing them down.
It’s just weird to me Booster said “I’d like to see you in a dress” and Carla did it, but Booster never actually said if that would get Charlie’s attention.
It didn’t seem weird to me.
The feeling I got from the “I’d like to see [Carla in a dress batting her eyelashes]” line was something to akin to “I’d like to see [Carla attempting to charm my sister by wearing a clown suit, squeaky oversized shoes, and a colorful wig].”
Basically, that it wasn’t “I would like to see that because you would be pretty” or “I would like to see that because I think it would work” but rather “I would like to see that and watch the ensuing trainwreck with popcorn”
It’s less Booster gatekeeping access to their sister, and more Carla slamming herself against a gate standing in an open field, instead of just going around it. That is, talking to Charlie.
Booster isn’t actually in a position to stop Carla from talking to Charlie, though. They have only refused to do it for her. In fact they’ve even hinted that Carla should approach Charlie directly.
Carla’s crush drives her to make some sort of effort, but her fear of vulnerability directs that effort in a direction that won’t lead to an actual relationship.
i think it’s a pink and yellow plaid, but there prolly are flag /sexuality themed dresses but they’re prolly overpriced compared to just getting a pin/wristband for it (not that carla can’t afford the whole store lol XD)
In Westen New York nobody can’t get to the ice cream parlor beacuse of 20-25 feet of lake effect snow. Buffalo Rochester and Syracuse gets more snow fall then Minneapolis
Don’t forget the North Country! Tho lately we haven’t been getting the snow. Just the balmy -40 degree temps that make you have to put on a second hoody to go outside.
They do it in Maine, too. Seen it with my own two eyes. About 20 years ago, I drove up from D.C. to Portland, ME on business…In January. As part of the trip, I visited a friend in Waterville, ME. Back then, I could not get good cell service there and I always had trouble finding my friend’s place, so I would stop at the McDonald’s nearby and use (get ready for this) THE PAY PHONE OUTSIDE to call him and he would drive out and lead me back to his place (eventually, I drew a map – but then he moved, damn it!). On this particular day, the thermometer at the bank across the street from the McDonald’s read -5 F. And there was a 20 mph steady wind blowing. In order to dial the phone I had to take off my gloves and within 15 seconds my right hand felt like I already had frostbite. Well, while I am talking to Matt (my friend), I see two teenage girls and two teenage boys walk out of the McDonald’s. The girls were wearing dresses (at least they had leggings on) and the boys were wearing tee shirts and jams……NONE OF THEM HAD ANY WINTER GEAR ON. When I got back to Matt’s I told him about what I saw and his response was “Mainers….meh”.
i’m still surprised some ppl wear mini skirts in the snow, even if they have leggings/tights underneath lol
dunno if charlie would even notice it unless booster straight up told her ” yeah your classmate is tryign to get your attention” b/c i feel like carla could show up in straight up lingerie and it’d still take a while for her to notice but that’d be too awkward lol
It’s Sunday, a week ago was “Trial By Sarah”, in which Carla loaned Sarah use of a car and driver “as a prank”. Sarah took Liz back to Muncie, they fought and then bonded.
Dina and Becky had sex.
Joyce’s terrible period pains started.
Dina and Sarah learned about Joyce and Becky having been beaten.
Come on, Carla! You’re a Rutten! Don’t you have some new-fangled, classified, hi-tech device that will protect both you and that nice dress from the cold?
No Rutten would be seen in something so mundane as a “car”. It’d have to be a sooped up, hi-tech, one of a kind whatchamacallit… Ultra Car… for them to even consider it.
The only problem with this is that it’s very difficult for her to use the ice skates indoors…though, I’m sure she could find a way if she put her mind to it!
i mean, pattern aside it’s fairly basic looking for a dress, but in a good way sometimes simple is best XD; tho i guess it’d be a pain to digitally do every stripe/plaid pattern if it was more of a common thing she’d wear as opposed to her casual stuff
well, charlie had a delayed reaction in talking to her but she wasn’t like “ugh this person is annoying so i’m ignoring them on purpose/stay away from me”, but it’s nice she’s putting effort into this as opposed to “they don’t worship me so i’m going to torment her” kinda way that sometimes it goes irl
I think malaya explicitly mentioned wearing a binder but i don’t remember if booster brought it up themselves but yeah even a sports bra, let alone a ‘regular’ bra seems like it’d be uncomfy to sleep in let alone a binder but i’m sure there are some fitted tanks that could still make ur chest/bust look smaller/slimmer without being a ‘binder’ per se
With binders, it’s not so much that they’re uncommon to sleep in (that will vary depending on the person; I actually find it very easy to sleep in a binder, which is a problem). It’s that binding while you’re asleep is unsafe. Even quality binders can cause damage, and if you’re asleep, you can’t monitor your body as much as you need to in order to make sure you’re doing okay. It can also affect your breathing. Ideally, you’re suppose to minimize the total t
(comment section started glitching, so I’ll just continue now)
minimize the total time spent binding and take breaks during the time you have it on. 8 hours a day is the general maximum recommendation, so you probably don’t want to add on to your time in a binder while you’re asleep.
Has anyone else been having huge problems accessing the site lately? I usually read DoA on my phone but for more than a week I haven’t been able to load the site on my phone at all. I tried different browsers and everything. It works on a computer but I rarely use my laptop at home. Is it just me experiencing this, or do other people have the same problem?
I’m not having a problem, but if it works on your laptop and not your phone, try loading the site on your phone as the desktop version of the site.
It helped me recently with a different site I suddenly had a problem viewing.
I tried this too, but unfortunately my browser won’t even request the desktop version because it is apparently convinced that the site doesn’t even exist.
I also tried entering it through accessing the desktop version of google and clicking on the link to the comic from there, still nothing.
I’ve had the problem most of the time, like 18-24 hours a day, but then at random times I get through. Have only tried my desktop but I guess I’ll check the phone next time it goes down.
Best frenemies for life, really. Carla will keep finding reasons to bug Booster, and Booster will keep providing equal measures of sass and good advice to her, and neither of them will realize how attached they’re getting to each other! And then of course some disaster happens and one or the other of them puts everything on hold in order to go help the other, provoking a realization…
Yesssss I crave this arc SO BADLY omg
Because it’s hard to draw I think? Willis drew Joyce in plaid for one storyline and I remember them saying it was really hard to keep drawing her like that.

As someone who used to regularly wear shorts in winter, even long coats wouldn’t save you from the cold.
she only mentioned snow
the rare winter without wind is actually pretty nice
Carla: Greetings, summon your sister via telepathic link at once, I have coture to display.
Booster: Come again?
Carla: You can’t do that? So this really is just the room where they store useless spare twins? What’s the point of either of you if not to conjure your cooler sisters?
You’re telling me “twin things” isn’t an actual psychic bond? This is bullshit!
aha! this *was* all just leading up to you drawing Carla in a sundress!
Turn on the light, Booster, I want a better look.
So… what was the butter for? Did she need it to help slip into the dress?
If you’re planning to get up absurdly early in the morning, obviously you’re going to make your pancakes the night before.
Why does it feel like this is how *these two* accidentally get together.
Carla likes girls and Booster ain’t one.
Carla ever state her opinion on non binary attraction?
I think she expressed interest in Malaya at one point, but that may have been Malaya started presenting differently.
Been BEFORE Malaya started presenting differently, I accidentally a word.
It’s a good point though. Carla has expressed attraction to Malaya who is non binary. They was presenting female at the time Carla was crushing on her but was that the factor cause Carla seemed way more into Malaya’s overall dominant personality.
Alright so this is veering into non-binary gender, a subject I am woefully unequipped to talk about, but even post-timeskip Malaya is definitely a lot closer to girl than Booster is.
*ME, a Nonbinary lesbian has entered the chat with a PowerPoint presentation*
… … Faz is a nonbinary lesbian?
–Dave, this explains SO MUCH
Depends how you define it.
BTW, why is Booster wearing lipstick in bed?
I think they just have big lips?
could be insecurity, or just big, naturally red lips, some kids get cursed with the weirdest features by their parents.
She used to be into Malaya but that hasn’t come up since they started presenting differently.
Yeah, which could be due to that, but also might be because Carla I imagine knows about Marcie’s feelings on the matter, and Carla and her get on well so she wouldn’t likely pursue.
On the other hand, Booster wears their lipstick to bead. And it doesn’t smear. They’re a makeup god.
Either that, or they put it on before answering the door, right after Carla woke them up. Which is also quite impressive.
I think Booster’s lips might just be like that.
I thought it was established that this is just what Booster’s lips look like naturally. Charlie has similar lips. Is she always wearing lipstick?
Judging by this strip I thought the opposite, but reading it back I realise there’s a little bit of room for interpretation there: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2020/comic/book-11/01-this-bright-millennium/arentin/
I still think it’s likely though. My explanation for the already made up lips is lip tattoos!
Yeah i was wondering about that, like is it lipstick or was Booster just gifted with really really full lips
i’d assume it’s just their lipshape /lighting but i can imagine they have naturally ‘plump lip’ even before putting on a color
Maybe they have a glass of Hawaiian Punch before bed.
That would be an interesting twist.
I kind of got that feeling too. Carla so far seems more interested in women but that doesn’t mean it’s a hard preference.
To be fair the deal wasnt that Charlie had to see the dress
Fair. Fair.
Booster needs to realize that what we have here is a failure to miscommunicate. Entirely their own fault.
Which is the way they wants it.
what hall is charlie in exactly? i don’t think we know who her roommate is either
tho carla could still use it as an opportunity to guilt trip them into helping more, if not just hang around booster all day in the chance charlie might come over and visit
Again I ask is this effort for Charlie? Cause it seems like it’s for Booster.
Kind of seems like it is for Charlie?
Then why is Booster reaping all the reward? Although honestly, I really dislike Booster gatekeeping their sister’s relationships. Charlie’s innate obliviousness is the only real factor making any of this whole scenario okay to me.
It’s less that, probably, and more that Carla keeps going to Booster and asking them for help/input. If Carla approached Charlie directly, I doubt Booster would have anywhere near as much to say about it.

I thought it was “I would like to see you to interact with her instead of expecting me to do the heavy lifting for you”
*etc.
I would dispute whether or not their interactions with Carla are a reward.
I found it rewarding.
And after all, that’s what’s important.
It’s less Booster gatekeeping access to their sister, and more Carla slamming herself against a gate standing in an open field, instead of just going around it. That is, talking to Charlie.
It may be Carla assuming that, being a sibling, Booster knows how to get Charlie to notice that someone is talking to her.
The “reward” is annoying Booster, which is how we got here to begin with. Carla found someone who couldn’t notice her.
Booster isn’t actually in a position to stop Carla from talking to Charlie, though. They have only refused to do it for her. In fact they’ve even hinted that Carla should approach Charlie directly.
Carla’s crush drives her to make some sort of effort, but her fear of vulnerability directs that effort in a direction that won’t lead to an actual relationship.
Carla Goddess Power, MAKE-UP!!!!
*plays “Sailor Moon Crystal Make-Up” on hacked muzak*
It’s hard to tell with the blue tone, but that’s a lesbian flag tartan, right?
nah, it’s white and gold.
*ducks*
What do you mean? It’s clearly blue and black.
*hides*
You’re both fucking colorblind. It’s black and white.
Her high school colors: Pomegranate and puce.
(An oldie but a goodie.)
It’s obviously “Laurel,” not “Yanny.”
I’m not sure? I can’t really clearly see the colours
Willis posted the whole model on patreon. I’s actually a bunch of colors, including white, blue, red, and two shades of orange.
Doesn’t look it? Seems like red, white, blue and gold.
I could be wrong, but I’m seeing pink, white, and blue with yellow/gold for intersex, so an inclusive or progressive trans flag?
I think it’s just colours?
Willis could draw every character in a plain black T-shirt and people would still ask what pride flag it’s supposed to be.
spiraling depression pride
I think it just be space dye plaid honestly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i think it’s a pink and yellow plaid, but there prolly are flag /sexuality themed dresses but they’re prolly overpriced compared to just getting a pin/wristband for it (not that carla can’t afford the whole store lol XD)

Carla doesn’t half ass anything she whole asses everything! Except going out into the snow in a dress which is reasonable.
i’m still surprised some ppl wear mini skirts in the snow, even if they have leggings/tights underneath lol
dunno if charlie would even notice it unless booster straight up told her ” yeah your classmate is tryign to get your attention” b/c i feel like carla could show up in straight up lingerie and it’d still take a while for her to notice but that’d be too awkward lol
That dress is CLEARLY blue and gold
it’s orange versus green
–Dave, wondering what higher-dimensional colors look like
Wait til Charlie reveals she’s in a committed relationship with Ultra Car.
that’d make her seem more attractive to carla lol
It’s Sunday, a week ago was “Trial By Sarah”, in which Carla loaned Sarah use of a car and driver “as a prank”. Sarah took Liz back to Muncie, they fought and then bonded.
Dina and Becky had sex.
Joyce’s terrible period pains started.

Bringing us far back to the recent. This was dizzying, but I appreciate it nonetheless
Whaaaaaaat!? Comic time is bonkers
great showing
bad timing
Panel #1 is very pretty.
Also, spare a thought for all the poor snow plow drivers. They can’t go back to bed (though unlike Carla, they will be plowing today).
I approve of this entire comment
And Walky’s snow hill will be rebuilt!
Come on, Carla! You’re a Rutten! Don’t you have some new-fangled, classified, hi-tech device that will protect both you and that nice dress from the cold?
You mean like a Car?
No Rutten would be seen in something so mundane as a “car”. It’d have to be a sooped up, hi-tech, one of a kind whatchamacallit… Ultra Car… for them to even consider it.
a puffy coat.
A wearable laminar flow curtain? That would be nice….
this was a triumph
–Dave, there may be cake
On the topic of Carla going outside I’m now wondering if in winter she ice skates between places because it’s no longer roller skate weather.
The only problem with this is that it’s very difficult for her to use the ice skates indoors…though, I’m sure she could find a way if she put her mind to it!
The blades pop in and out of her boots like in Batman & Robin.
what if she needed the butter to bake a pie for charlie
Oh hello there. That makes two Carla appearances in a row where she looked damn pretty.
Hmph! I believe you mean this makes 188 appearances in a row in which Carla looks like a goddamn goddess *hairflip*
Indeed!
No argument from me. She’s one of the most attractive cast members.
Somehow, Carla being aware she’s a comic character and wearing something hard to draw is exactly the energy I expect from her.
i mean, pattern aside it’s fairly basic looking for a dress, but in a good way sometimes simple is best XD; tho i guess it’d be a pain to digitally do every stripe/plaid pattern if it was more of a common thing she’d wear as opposed to her casual stuff
Is there a pattern that’s even tougher to get to look right on a body? Large polka-dots?
Cell’s leopard marks. I think I remember Akira Toriyama going on record as regretting that design choice hugely.
Ya know, Carla, Coats can be in plaid too. And long stocking to keep ya legs warm
even better for a reveal too assuming removing a coat wouldn’t mess it up too much XD
woo plaid
well, hoodie dresses should still be a thing
BUT SHE’S SO GODDAMN CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! <3
the more Carla simps for women who have shown complete zero interest in her, the more pathetic she looks
well, charlie had a delayed reaction in talking to her but she wasn’t like “ugh this person is annoying so i’m ignoring them on purpose/stay away from me”, but it’s nice she’s putting effort into this as opposed to “they don’t worship me so i’m going to torment her” kinda way that sometimes it goes irl
If she was interested in someone that liked her, then she might have to get into an actual relationship and be vulnerable.
Attraction often looks pathetic, yes.
Did booster wear a binder to bed??? Nooooo that’s so unsafe omg
I’m pretty sure it’s just a singlet?
it could just be a tank top, tho it’s possible they were just sleeping shirtless before and threw on something quick to answer the door
Wait is it even confirmed that they bind?
Only when they go to bed.
Wait which strip does it say that? Or are you referring to this strip?
I think malaya explicitly mentioned wearing a binder but i don’t remember if booster brought it up themselves but yeah even a sports bra, let alone a ‘regular’ bra seems like it’d be uncomfy to sleep in let alone a binder but i’m sure there are some fitted tanks that could still make ur chest/bust look smaller/slimmer without being a ‘binder’ per se
With binders, it’s not so much that they’re uncommon to sleep in (that will vary depending on the person; I actually find it very easy to sleep in a binder, which is a problem). It’s that binding while you’re asleep is unsafe. Even quality binders can cause damage, and if you’re asleep, you can’t monitor your body as much as you need to in order to make sure you’re doing okay. It can also affect your breathing. Ideally, you’re suppose to minimize the total t
(comment section started glitching, so I’ll just continue now)
minimize the total time spent binding and take breaks during the time you have it on. 8 hours a day is the general maximum recommendation, so you probably don’t want to add on to your time in a binder while you’re asleep.
*not sp much that they’re UNCOMFORTABLE to sleep in
This was a joke.
What is it with this comments section’s collective inability to correctly identify clothing?
If you’ve seen one shirtlike object, you’ve seen them all.
*checks today’s title* And I just can’t take it anymore
Off to – maybe – McNutt for you, Carla.
Do you think she missed the point on purpose, or she really doesn’t get it?
YES, Carla, dresses and pretty girls can be later, please go back to bed and don’t go out in that dress.
This makes me smile, she’s being adorable
excellent username!
CARLA HOT.
THAT IS ALL
Wait I need Malaya for a minute
Lesbian is close but not close enough
“Oh no she’s hot!”
By the title of the storyline, can we say “Damn you, Willis” by anticipation?
Might at least be bittersweet. Look up there, it’s Carla trying to express the love she says she doesn’t have.
Has anyone else been having huge problems accessing the site lately? I usually read DoA on my phone but for more than a week I haven’t been able to load the site on my phone at all. I tried different browsers and everything. It works on a computer but I rarely use my laptop at home. Is it just me experiencing this, or do other people have the same problem?
I’m not having a problem, but if it works on your laptop and not your phone, try loading the site on your phone as the desktop version of the site.
It helped me recently with a different site I suddenly had a problem viewing.
Or vice versa if your phone is somehow already using the desktop version instead of the mobile version, like my iPad apparently is.
I tried this too, but unfortunately my browser won’t even request the desktop version because it is apparently convinced that the site doesn’t even exist.
I also tried entering it through accessing the desktop version of google and clicking on the link to the comic from there, still nothing.
I’ve had the problem most of the time, like 18-24 hours a day, but then at random times I get through. Have only tried my desktop but I guess I’ll check the phone next time it goes down.
No, alternating machines didn’t work, so presumably it’s a problem with my IP address and yours.
Why I have a feeling these two are going to become best friends for life, whether Carla gets with Charlie or not?
Best frenemies for life, really. Carla will keep finding reasons to bug Booster, and Booster will keep providing equal measures of sass and good advice to her, and neither of them will realize how attached they’re getting to each other! And then of course some disaster happens and one or the other of them puts everything on hold in order to go help the other, provoking a realization…
Yesssss I crave this arc SO BADLY omg
Gotta love that it’s not even considered that Walky would be answering the door.
New storyline title has me worried for some of these dumb, adorable couples.
Carla and Booster are a great comedic pair, I love their chemistry.
Oh gee, the weather took a dive again. Maybe Walky will once more become the King of the snow mound
I think Carla has proven her genuine interest, Booster
Just go with it buddy
The whole point is that Carla was supposed to talk to Charlie on her own.
A dress that’s also pajamas, according to the unaccountably posh people who still control fashion.
I’m kind of afraid to ask the question about how plaid is a troll. I think the joke will end up on me.
Because it’s hard to draw I think? Willis drew Joyce in plaid for one storyline and I remember them saying it was really hard to keep drawing her like that.
Yup. That, and it’s a dress, adding to the overall complexity of the drawing. :3
And now someone wears plaid in almost every chapter, so who really trolled who?
Willis draws the plaid patterns by hand, some artists just use the fill tool and it looks really awkward on sleeves that are moving around.
Not gonna lie. Carla is looking pretty dang hot in that. Almost dangerously so.
When the creator low key likes being dommed by his character.
considering the sun seems to be rising in an indiana january, it cant be THAT early a morning
remember, Willis, bias plaid is also a Thing
