Photo shopping together a plate filled with dicks, printing that out, then applying springs so it folds up to pocket size but shoots out to A3 size and keeping it ready so you can tell her you’ve got something for her to eat is the proper reaction to Mary.
I strongly suspect Mary is one of those people who would find bullshit pseudoscience to back up her bigotry if she were an atheist. The religion is not the source of her assholery; it is the vehicle for it.
I strongly believe that Mary’s view will change according to what will allow her to be the shittiest person in the room. Like the world worst chameleon.
The DoA storyline I’d most like to see is one where Mary gets like 90% of the way through a redemption arc but blows it at the last minute, and part of why I want to see that is for the inevitable scene where everyone realizes “Woke” Mary is somehow even worse than normal Mary, to the point where when she inevitably relapses back into being a Christofascist everyone’s like “Oh thank god”.
I don’t think “woke is bad” was ever the takeaway from Roz or Joyce or anyone really. Roz is annoying sometimes because she speaks over others and seems to only care about being right most of the time, not because she’s more “woke”.
Saying a word made my an African American to describe the phenomenon of waking up to realize the system is inherently racist sounds like a dog barking because republicans abuse the word does, in fact, make you sound racist.
Meh, religion is very often the source of people’s assholery as well. Hard to know what she’d be like if she hadn’t been indoctrinated with a lot of unfortunate shit first.
That tends to be the way with most ideologies; people don’t do things because their ideology says that they should, they construct an ideology that matches what they want to do. ‘Before you were a fascist, you were a bully and an arsehole,’ as famed philosopher B.L. Mulligan says.
Sometimes. Maybe even often.
But people are often raised within ideologies that indoctrinate them with harmful ideas that are really hard to shake. See Joyce – though really she broke out of it unreasonably fast. Or her father, who didn’t start to break out until Joyce confronted him.
But when it came down to it, they didn’t confront their actions and twist them to match their ideology, they confronted their ideology and reshaped it so that their actions were allowable
Her deal? 40% off select gifsets and photoshoots on her OnlyPraise. It’s actually a pretty solid deal, some of her best stuff is eligible for the discount, including her outdoor set and the one with the hockey pucks.
Ever since she hooked up with Peter, Mary has been really slacking in judging everybody for their godless ways. There was the Halloween exhibition, but people had to come to see that voluntarily, and there was the time she tried to be smug at Jennifer about successfully interfering with her and Ruth’s relationship, but that fell apart due to drastically overestimating how much she’s the main character in Jennifer’s life.
It seems her deal is being too busy getting laid to get in anybody’s grill anymore, leaving her a quiet and harmless presence in the corridors. Here we see she doesn’t even have any interest in the recent spiritual developments of the one person on the floor besides herself she has used to say might not go directly to Hell.
We might even say Peter fixed Mary. With his penis.
She may be a true, true believer. The kind who is convinced there’s a God but a cynical attitude combined with lots of Bible reading and meeting other Christians have made her realise that God sucks, Christianism sucks, and Christians suck and there’s no joy to be found in this world that doesn’t risk displeasing the famously irate Creator who will happily condemn you to an eternity of grotesque suffering for the merest deviation from his “perfect will”.
Mary’s deal is that many, many times throughout every day at this godless satanic secular college (which she chose to attend) she’s being forced to encounter examples of people who do not believe, act, and speak exactly the same way her religious community/bubble does. While of course she isn’t selfless enough to be concerned for her own suffering in this, it is an unpleasant reminder of the way that Christians are subject to such horrible persecution in this country.
I now find myself wondering if, depending on where it is and who’s there, Joyce might just show up to *next year’s* Halloween party “dressed” as Kekko Kamen.
It would be funny if Mary was actually too kinky for whatever that guy’s name was she was dating. I think it started with a “P” but I can’t remember if his name was Peter or Paul. She really got off on him being naked in front of people though. Just more proof Mary is the other side Joyce. One is into watching the other is into others watching.
But yes, Peter Paul and Mary was a folk trio composed of Peter Yarrow, (Noel) Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. Known for songs like Puff the Magic Dragon, There Is Love, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone.
I could definitely picture her just letting her obscene amount of repression go all at once for just one moment and scaring him off. He definitely seemed -very- uncomfortable during Halloween.
It’d be a little sad if that were the case, if Mary weren’t awful.
Yeah, that makes sense. Because she appears so infrequently, Mary kind of has “eras”. Like
1. A semi-sympathetic villain who wants to be friends with people but just can’t stop herself from being a judgemental asshole who pushes them away (the first few appearances)
2. After she throws away the olive branches, she’s more antagonistic and jumps straight to being an asshole (Transphobia to Carla, blackmailing Ruth) and the nicest thing that you can say about her was that she probably didn’t intend to push Ruth to a literal suicide attempt and “only” intended to threaten her. That arc ends with Mary getting punched and everyone clapping and she’s basically a pariah after that.
3. Then she dates Peter Paul and turns into a weird homophobic version of Galasso, where she’s still evil but so ludicrous and ineffectual that no one cares, to the point that Becky and Dina seem to actually kind of enjoy having her around (a potentially funny dynamic, IMO).
Now I guess we’re in the Punished Mary era. It almost feels like she’s just given up. Not that she’s grown or changed but she’s realized that expressing her hateful opinions always gets her punched. That’s probably reading way too much into like two lines, though, and I’m not sure what you’d do with “Mary is still evil but doesn’t want to do anything villainous because she knows she’ll lose”. Maybe she’s going to fall into a depression and Joyce helps her and accidentally rekindles Mary’s love of villainy or something, I dunno.
Wait, is Punished Mary anything like Goth Ethan? I mean, he’s essentially Self-Punished Ethan. Is Mary mourning the loss of Peter Paul? I mean, yeah, he probably ditched her because she was a narcissist, but she might blame herself for it….? Or am I being too generous?
you can eat candy in the shower, no one is stopping you. May I also point out that eating and orange in the shower is absolutely lovely (choose the seedless kind)
I’d probably wanna take the rims off first, but a shower orange does sound appealing. Any unwelcome stickiness gets washed away immediately, and then you smell kinda orangey? Yeah, I could see it.
I’ve already tried shower tacos, burritos, nachos, ramen, apples, cantaloupe, carrots, broccoli, p****, cauliflower, hot dogs, bratwurst, corn on the cob, ice cream, bacon, hero sandwiches, Pop-Tarts, protein shakes, assorted beverages (hard and soft), and pizza, so I’ll be sure to try this “orange” next time the chance arises.
only ever had beer in the shower. had to make sure the beer was barely above freezing, and the water was super hot. And only did this after jogging back to my dorm room after donating blood, as kind of a treat.
It’s so funny when people self censor like they’re in a cartoon. Those words aren’t even filtered. Go on, say the fuck word, and the twat word. You know you want to~
Grateful that I went to a college where the showers were attached to the suites and not at the end of the hall. Having to migrate with your stuff to take a shower is weird to me.
Yeah, I’m pretty glad I only had to deal with three other people’s scum and not the scum of an entire floor of people in my showers. Also that I could safely take a 2am shower without tromping down the hall and ending up in a shower room alone at that hour.
“anyway I’m gonna shower. Time to whip out my jugs right here in the hallway.”
“Shouldn’t you wait until you’re in the shower to do that?”
“But they’re pretty big and besides, there’s no reason to hide em. Everyone has already seen them.”
Joyce is trying to make Joe horny because she wants to have sex. But I think Joe is restraining himself because he wants to gradually work up to it. He wants to build up a real relationship where it’s not just about sex. His previous relationships were one time hookups so he’s trying to rewire his brain.
… There IS a trope that says Good Girls Aren’t Supposed To Say They Want Sex. So, when they do, they tease a guy until they lose control. It’s a terrible trope, but, well, we know Joyce was raised with horrible ideas.
Joyce had some truly horrifying ideas at the start of the comic. She’s honestly shed them unrealistically quickly, but even then she was never intentionally mean or cruel about them.
Dreadful prediction: Joe sets up a fun date, Joyce makes the whole thing weird by acting this new weird way, Joe fumbles it and gets frustrated and says she isn’t herself anymore, she says this is the real her, they break up.
Not that I expect their theory to pan out, but I’m just saying. If it takes them a couple days to plan/find time for the date it could be months of earth time before it actually happens.
Hit ’em with the classic: “Hey baby, wassa matta you? How’s about you an’ me go watch-a dis pirated anime movie I down-a-loaded on this here laptop?” And then you follow up with the Manderville Mambo.
Can someone link to the page where joe says he loves that Joyce is constantly changing so the people who keep saying “she’s not the girl he fell in love with” and he’s gonna leave her for it can shut the fuck up. It’s like the reading equivalent of a mosquito buzzing around
Also goes with my thoughts on “Joyce is not fragile and Joe knows he is not fragile and her resilience is one of the things he loves about her” from the other day.
I hope that now a nice conversation will start between Mary and Joyce about comics. She has surely seen her “Giulia Gray” strip in the university newspaper and maybe a situation could arise in which the two, even if they do not like each other, can talk about their artistic ambitions between them, starting a positive discussion for both. Mary had awkwardly tried to do it with Malaya, but with Malaya it’s almost impossible to have positive discussions.
Mary is nice because she makes things easy for the readers. If she is on panel you can assume whatever position she holds is the wrong one. That’s very convenient.
Isn’t this remarkably similar to what Booster said? You pretend you’re scared of becoming someone new because it’s easier than admitting it’s who you’ve been all along?
(for the record, I think they’re both wrong, and kind of mean about it, though I do like Booster as a character.)
The difference is that Mary mean she always been sinful but pretended not to while Booster mean that she always been, well, who she is now but had to unlearn a lot of indoctrination. (I don’t fell I explained that well, you tell me if you get it)
Loading ...
can’t decide if flashing or mooning would be a funnier knee-jerk reaction to Mary
why not both at the same time? :p
Wouldn’t that essentially mean being super f*cking nakees?
Flashing if Joe is present so he blushes, mooning if just Mary.
If she were a boy she could give Mary the fruit bowl. Best of both worlds.
Photo shopping together a plate filled with dicks, printing that out, then applying springs so it folds up to pocket size but shoots out to A3 size and keeping it ready so you can tell her you’ve got something for her to eat is the proper reaction to Mary.
What is Mary’s deal?
She’s mean.
She does seem remarkably sedate.
On a likely unrelated note: her jacket seems similar to some of Sal’s.
Well being fundamentalist christian and far right asshole for once.
I strongly suspect Mary is one of those people who would find bullshit pseudoscience to back up her bigotry if she were an atheist. The religion is not the source of her assholery; it is the vehicle for it.
I strongly believe that Mary’s view will change according to what will allow her to be the shittiest person in the room. Like the world worst chameleon.
The DoA storyline I’d most like to see is one where Mary gets like 90% of the way through a redemption arc but blows it at the last minute, and part of why I want to see that is for the inevitable scene where everyone realizes “Woke” Mary is somehow even worse than normal Mary, to the point where when she inevitably relapses back into being a Christofascist everyone’s like “Oh thank god”.
You could just read Roomies for that
Don’t really want to lean farther into “Woke is bad” than Roz and maybe some flashes of Joyce from earlier this semester.
I don’t think “woke is bad” was ever the takeaway from Roz or Joyce or anyone really. Roz is annoying sometimes because she speaks over others and seems to only care about being right most of the time, not because she’s more “woke”.
I really can’t wait for that word to fall out of fashion. It makes people sound like a dog barking at nothing.
Saying a word made my an African American to describe the phenomenon of waking up to realize the system is inherently racist sounds like a dog barking because republicans abuse the word does, in fact, make you sound racist.
Meh, religion is very often the source of people’s assholery as well. Hard to know what she’d be like if she hadn’t been indoctrinated with a lot of unfortunate shit first.
Isn’t it Word of God that Mary’s parents are actually good people?

Judgy asshole religious zealot.
Her deal? 40% off select gifsets and photoshoots on her OnlyPraise. It’s actually a pretty solid deal, some of her best stuff is eligible for the discount, including her outdoor set and the one with the hockey pucks.
I feel like I’m going to regret asking this, but what exactly is she doing with/to the hockey pucks?
You have to pay to find out, that’s the whole point of advertisements!
As mentioned, it’s behind a pay wall, but I’ll give you a hint: Missouri hockey fans are gonna love it.
It’s too extreme for some Canadians, but the Wisconsinites love it.
She’s a judgmental little old church lady at heart.
Ever since she hooked up with Peter, Mary has been really slacking in judging everybody for their godless ways. There was the Halloween exhibition, but people had to come to see that voluntarily, and there was the time she tried to be smug at Jennifer about successfully interfering with her and Ruth’s relationship, but that fell apart due to drastically overestimating how much she’s the main character in Jennifer’s life.
It seems her deal is being too busy getting laid to get in anybody’s grill anymore, leaving her a quiet and harmless presence in the corridors. Here we see she doesn’t even have any interest in the recent spiritual developments of the one person on the floor besides herself she has used to say might not go directly to Hell.
We might even say Peter fixed Mary. With his penis.
Peter, the Rock…
Hard
She may be a true, true believer. The kind who is convinced there’s a God but a cynical attitude combined with lots of Bible reading and meeting other Christians have made her realise that God sucks, Christianism sucks, and Christians suck and there’s no joy to be found in this world that doesn’t risk displeasing the famously irate Creator who will happily condemn you to an eternity of grotesque suffering for the merest deviation from his “perfect will”.

lol, perfect.
Is Super Nakees ever going to team up with Amazi-Girl and Nightguy?
It’s just a name change for the Whiteboard Ding-Dong Bandit, because her old supranym was kind of unwieldy. She’s already teamed up with Amazi-Girl.
I think Super Nakees wears gloves and a domino mask. And boots.
…and Super Nakees’ cover job is
a cartoonists for the IDSa live model for art class.Kekko Kamen already exists you know:)
*Japan: keeping things weird since…well…long before 1991 probably…*
I now find myself wondering if, depending on where it is and who’s there, Joyce might just show up to *next year’s* Halloween party “dressed” as Kekko Kamen.
I didn’t know, but now I know. DVDs are fairly affordable, too.
Yesterday, I did not know about a thing. And, now, today, I do know about that thing. I can only say “Huh.”
Siggghhh I actually did know about that, in the recesses of my brain, thanks for digging it out.
Joyce is so… Joyce. Love that for her.
Joyce Gets Super Fucking Nakees: A Dumbing of Age Pornographique
In which we only see her shower. I’d read that.
Betting Mary’s single again.
It would be funny if Mary was actually too kinky for whatever that guy’s name was she was dating. I think it started with a “P” but I can’t remember if his name was Peter or Paul. She really got off on him being naked in front of people though. Just more proof Mary is the other side Joyce. One is into watching the other is into others watching.
His name is “Peter Paul”, because it’s a pun on the folk singers “Peter, Paul and Mary”
Wait, as in the same Peter, Paul and Mary referenced in the Brittney Spears song? They’re real?
I can’t tell if you’re joking
Both are a reference to the bible
Come on, nobody’s read that thing.
But yes, Peter Paul and Mary was a folk trio composed of Peter Yarrow, (Noel) Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers. Known for songs like Puff the Magic Dragon, There Is Love, and Where Have All the Flowers Gone.
Ah, the Good Old Stuff. Give them a listen — you might like it.
TimAllenSantaClauseAging.gif, lol.
I could definitely picture her just letting her obscene amount of repression go all at once for just one moment and scaring him off. He definitely seemed -very- uncomfortable during Halloween.

For a brief second I read “shower caddy” as “shower candy” and was wondering why nobody had ever told me about this paradigm-shifting invention.
you can eat candy in the shower, no one is stopping you. May I also point out that eating and orange in the shower is absolutely lovely (choose the seedless kind)
Love a shower orange.
I’d probably wanna take the rims off first, but a shower orange does sound appealing. Any unwelcome stickiness gets washed away immediately, and then you smell kinda orangey? Yeah, I could see it.

I’ve only tried a few of these, but I can’t recommend number 9 enough tbh.
Same. 5/5; recommend again.
both of them,even
only ever had beer in the shower. had to make sure the beer was barely above freezing, and the water was super hot. And only did this after jogging back to my dorm room after donating blood, as kind of a treat.
Well, I would expect cotton candy/candyfloss to be a disgusting failure, but chocolate contains enough fat to make it water-resistant.
Call her a f@$&ing tw@t, Joyce. That’ll convince her.
Especially if you can pronounce the “@”, “$”, and “&”.
Only Private Carl James “Beetle” Bailey is capable of pronouncing such a grawlix.
He learned from the best: Sergeant Orville Snorkel.
Oh good, the misogyny is back.
Why would she call her a fatdollaranding twatt? Does the second T imply sharpness, or is it implying her twergle is electric?
The second T is for hitting that staccato so hard it’ll make anyone who uses a pop filter immediately want to kill you.
I use two layers of pop filter like condoms for the mic. Your plosives and staccatos can’t scare me.
Oh man, I can’t wait to use that! Fatdollaranding! Fatdollaranding!
my kitten, me, gold, water demon, imp, gargoyle, ghost, trapper, purple worm, the wood elf that read a cursed scroll of create monster, trapper.

Am I the only one curious about a Mary slipshine?
Whattttt? Nooooooo, nooo, noooooo. No. (Yes)
This in fact exists. It’s a single panel, but it exists.
She will, in fact, say something horrible. Not yet tho.
I think this interaction is going to be Joyce learning she no longer cares for Mary’s opinion as someone who was once in her faith.
“anyway I’m gonna shower. Time to whip out my jugs right here in the hallway.”
“Shouldn’t you wait until you’re in the shower to do that?”
“But they’re pretty big and besides, there’s no reason to hide em. Everyone has already seen them.”
Carla’s seen her jugs more than once. Enhanced them too. Really gave Joyce the confidence boost she needed with a fuller pair.
Carla’s so considerate!
You are not sure because she doesn’t hang out with you Mary. For good reasons.
is Mary still banging that guy, whats-his-name, Paul?
where did she find him anyway? next to dust bunnies under the church pews?
Peter, I think.
You’re both right.
Peter Paul.
Not a morning person, Mary? Maybe the noise from the party kept her up.
I was thinking she looked bored, but tired works too.
I’ve got it! Mary also has had a crisis of faith. Mary and Joyce team up to be Super Effing Atheists together.
Becky scales new heights of jealousy.
Wild how Mary keeps getting hotter. College agrees with her, I guess.
I want her to call me a slur.
Look, I wasn’t gonna say it.
I want her to call you a slur too.
You’te both slurs.
There, I said it.
Joyce is trying to make Joe horny because she wants to have sex. But I think Joe is restraining himself because he wants to gradually work up to it. He wants to build up a real relationship where it’s not just about sex. His previous relationships were one time hookups so he’s trying to rewire his brain.
Or, and hear me out on this, she’s just fucking flirting with her boyfriend and he’s teasing her back.
This comments section needs to chill all the way out.
By and large, comments sections are not known for chilling out.
If Joe is restraining himself, it’s because he’s beginning to believe that Joyce has lost her fucking mind.
Because she is having fun with things she wasn’t allowed to even consider for her entire life and being a little silly while doing it?
… There IS a trope that says Good Girls Aren’t Supposed To Say They Want Sex. So, when they do, they tease a guy until they lose control. It’s a terrible trope, but, well, we know Joyce was raised with horrible ideas.
She is not teasing him, she has been pretty explicit that she wants to eventually have sex with him. This is called flirting.
I choose to believe that Mary’s attitude is, at this exact moment in the sliding timescale, her being depressed about Kamala Harris’ surge over Trump.
Joyce was never THAT bad. Her mother on the other hand…
Joyce didn’t have as nearly as much hate in her heart to be anything like Mary.
Joyce had some truly horrifying ideas at the start of the comic. She’s honestly shed them unrealistically quickly, but even then she was never intentionally mean or cruel about them.
Ywah, let’s not act like Joyce was not completely fucked at the start of this.
Yeah she believed horrific things but strangely without malice.
I mean she did have Chick Tracts on her.
Dreadful prediction: Joe sets up a fun date, Joyce makes the whole thing weird by acting this new weird way, Joe fumbles it and gets frustrated and says she isn’t herself anymore, she says this is the real her, they break up.
interesting theory, but there’s a lot of previews showing the’re still together
Not that I expect their theory to pan out, but I’m just saying. If it takes them a couple days to plan/find time for the date it could be months of earth time before it actually happens.
“acting this new weird way” here meaning “flirting” okok.
Flirting can be pretty weird. I have never managed a normal interaction when attempting to flirt.
Hit ’em with the classic: “Hey baby, wassa matta you? How’s about you an’ me go watch-a dis pirated anime movie I down-a-loaded on this here laptop?” And then you follow up with the Manderville Mambo.
they are already better at communicating and sharing their emotional state far better than most adults I’ve known. I think they’ll be fine.
Can someone link to the page where joe says he loves that Joyce is constantly changing so the people who keep saying “she’s not the girl he fell in love with” and he’s gonna leave her for it can shut the fuck up. It’s like the reading equivalent of a mosquito buzzing around
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2020/comic/book-10/02-to-remind-you-of-my-love/situation/
Also goes with my thoughts on “Joyce is not fragile and Joe knows he is not fragile and her resilience is one of the things he loves about her” from the other day.
Reading a webcomic is hard.
Always take your jugs with you when you’re super fucking nakees and showering with your caddy.
Wait, with the guy who is holding your golf clubs?
Yes, it’s proper etiquette. You’re not supposed to tip them cash, but you shower with them instead. Caddies appreciate cleanliness.
She’s wild. Soon Joyce will be mixing food, like a madwoman!
I hope that now a nice conversation will start between Mary and Joyce about comics. She has surely seen her “Giulia Gray” strip in the university newspaper and maybe a situation could arise in which the two, even if they do not like each other, can talk about their artistic ambitions between them, starting a positive discussion for both. Mary had awkwardly tried to do it with Malaya, but with Malaya it’s almost impossible to have positive discussions.
Mary? Starting a positive discussion? HA!
Mary is nice because she makes things easy for the readers. If she is on panel you can assume whatever position she holds is the wrong one. That’s very convenient.
Mary, once again demonstrating how little she knows.
Isn’t this remarkably similar to what Booster said? You pretend you’re scared of becoming someone new because it’s easier than admitting it’s who you’ve been all along?
(for the record, I think they’re both wrong, and kind of mean about it, though I do like Booster as a character.)
The difference is that Mary mean she always been sinful but pretended not to while Booster mean that she always been, well, who she is now but had to unlearn a lot of indoctrination. (I don’t fell I explained that well, you tell me if you get it)
Somehow Mary learns not to be such a bigot via being so very tired of Joyce’s antics
Mary of all people have not room to talk about anyone doing tiresome antics. (Remembering her Halloween hell house).
I think Mary has to truly crater out before learning not to be evil.
Mary in a crater, Yamcha posing. Yes, I would pay money for such a thing.
