        This ain’t really the comic to go to if you’re gonna get self-righteous over college students banging, is my point.

          Yes, I realise that. I’m not “getting self-righteous over” anything, I’m making a dig at the amounts of fluid on display in the average doujin. Have you read one? It’s like xenomorphs set up a hive between the mouths of two Japanese girls. That’s the imagery Doctor_Who’s comment brought to mind, and that’s what I was reacting to. As a gag.

        They’re in college. So, like, bare minimum of 17. They’re practically adults.

          If they’ve been in a slip shine, they’re an adult, so at the very least Amber and Walky are. Which is irrelevant because DT already said they were making a gag but I can’t help myself but to point it out.

          They are all adults, most college kids are 18+, it’s pretty rare to start college before your 18th birthday

            There are kids born in September to December who may start college at 17 and turn 18 as the year goes by, but I’m told in the states it’s more common to wait a year before starting school in that case, so the kids with September-December would be older than their peers, which would make those kids 18 turning 19 now (so, like Dina).

              Yeah, in my experience kids with September-December birthdays are almost invariably the older half unless they skipped a year. I guess that’s different in other places.

                In my area of Canada, it’s nearly exclusively been that they were younger than me. I was born in April, so when I turned 10, girls with December birthdays turned 9.

              Around here, it used to be more common for kids with September or October birthdays to graduate high school at 17 and thus turn 18 in college if they go right afterward (speaking as such a person myself). However, over the last few years, laws have changed so that if you want your kid to start kindergarten when they’re 4 going on 5, you have to submit a request or something. This has made it less common for kids to be in that situation.

      Becky and subtle go together about as well as Robin and…subtle. Or, or Faz and subtle. Joe and subtle?

      There’s gotta be someone around here who’s subtle, but if there is they’ve been too subtle about it for me to notice.

      In related news, the word subtle now looks funny and misspelled to me from typing it so many times.

        Becky’s successfully kept secrets. Her own secret love for Joyce was one of them (or a two-in-one, if you also include her orientation as part of that). She could keep Walky’s and Amber’s secret if she feels so inclined; the question is whether she would indeed feel inclined in the first place. Walky is her friend, and maybe Becky might agree with Sal’s view that this is A Bad Idea.

      She can keep a secret if she needs to. She kept her orientation and feelings for Joyce a secret for a long time. Also the fact that she got kicked out of school, at least until she was kind of forced to tell Joyce.

    That alt text is the cutest fucking thing. You live your best dino life, baby Willis. What are his brother’s thoughts on dinosaurs?

    Reminds me of how occasionally, we’ll get a kid at my store who wants to be called something off the wall, usually a character name from something. They are my favorite. The one I recall best was a toddler who wanted to be called Green Monster Turtle–his name for the Ninja Turtles

      We know they both ABSOLUTELY LOVE Studio Series Grimlock, and that they both have Nondescript Velociraptor shirts after Chase asked for one and Willis realized he had the art. So I’d expect Zack agrees with dinosaurs as a concept. As well he should.

      (I also remember a tweet months back before they were talking about signing ‘dinosaur’ at a non-transforming toy expecting it to do so, Willis explaining it didn’t turn into a dinosaur, and then responding with the sign for ‘truck’. The moral of this story is the babies Willis have Expectations for their toys.)

    Is the joke “Becky saw something she shouldn’t and now it’s a plot point” or “Becky had to quickly change her answer to be less nerdhorny in case they’re actually listening”

        To my understanding, there are two garbage ship names.
        One is the SS Garbage Skowl.
        The other is Garbage Barge, with no SS.
        But I maybe mistaken.

              If it’s a barge, it can’t be SS anything. Unless it’s self-propelled by a steam engine. And then it’s not a barge.

              So if it’s a barge, where (and/or who) is the tugboat?

            It’s been misspelled Skowl from the beginning and I support it.

      There IS a chance that Joyce will flip her shit at Walky when she finds out Walky’s hooked up with anouther girl so soon after Dorothy.

    • Regalli

      September 12, 2018 at 1:36 am | #

      So, there’s:
      – Dorothy’s feelings,
      – Walky’s feelings that he shouldn’t be dating within 48 hours of a breakup,
      – Probable drama from Joyce,
      – Possible drama from Billie, who would probably come around quickly a la Sal but would still be like ‘damn.’
      – Potential drama from Danny, who is not in immediate contact with either currently (Amber’s tried to rebuff him from being friends) but is no more than two degrees of separation.
      – I don’t know if either of them is aware the other is connected to Mike, but once they realize that they should be Concerned. Like, seriously so.

      • cbwroses

        Billie was supporting Joyce in trying to poach Jacob.
        I seriously doubt she’d have an issue with Walky getting with Amber.
        If she does, she has some very confused morals to look down on two single people dating while encouraging breaking up a happy couple.

          Joyce has very confused morals. 🙂

          Walky should be heartbroken over losing a perfect cinnamon roll who was much too good for him, rather than (apparently) happily moving on. Anything less is an insult to Dorothy. (Joyce’s take, obviously)

          September 12, 2018 at 11:07 am | #

          Joyce has been covered. If you mean Billie, she will probably be fine after surprise (she was coaching Walky about how Dorothy Wasn’t That Great Anyway,) but there will definitely be surprise and there might be more questions.

          Also I don’t know if Billie knows Jacob well enough to recognize he’s dating Raidah (they were at the party, but not for long and it was a very early date.) She’s not actively in on the plan, she just did the buttons seeing Jacob and Joyce’s reaction. Raidah wasn’t there then.

          • cbwroses
            cbwroses
            September 12, 2018 at 12:13 pm | #

            Billie deduced the plan and stated as much to Sarah the morning they sent Joyce to go to church with Jacob, including that it was to mess with Raidah.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

andre the giant: I don't like to speak badly of people I have grown up thinking and being told that if you cannot Say something nice about someone, you should not say anything at all. But I must break that rule in this case because I hate Hulk Hogan very much. He is a big ugly goon and I want to squash his face.

Reposting links when it's not ass o'clock but if bigots can yell at visa and mastercard then so can we. This is a nightmare timeline for nsfw creators and creators as a whole, so if you're someone who enjoys my work or anyone else's we need all hands on deck if we want any shot at all

Considering Dagwood's industrialist tycoon parents disowned him for marrying Blondie, I'm pretty sure that last panel was his wedding vows verbatim

instead of vowing to take itch down with your justified anger, redirect that anger at the institutions who are directly responsible for strong arming every single platform that sells adult and/or queer art:

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking
