      Billie mostly makes any relationship in which she’s involved (business, personal, romantic) pretty toxic, but Lucy is a very powerful panacea.

      Second or third. Willis posted a link back to when Joyce went to church with Jacob, when Danny and Joe pulled an all-nighter playing some Mario game.

      There was also an appearance in a Patreon strip ages ago right after Odyssey came out. Dina dismissed Walky until he mentioned he had just possessed a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dina then took the Switch and ejected Walky.

      I’m under the impression that most dorm rooms nowadays have a cable connection, but I’m also under the impression that most college-age kids only watch an actual TV when they’re back at their parents’ house, or in a sports bar.

      (I did try to watch tonight’s GOT on my tablet. It was not a particularly satisfying experience, but then it’s been a long time since I was a college-age kid.)

        College students and young adults of comparable age use TVs, the devices, relatively often. TV as a synonym for cable/satellite service, not so much. It’s almost like Netflix being maybe 10% the cost (routinely less given splitting arrangements) and students and age cohort already having the internet and all its free content cuts into that pretty dramatically.

    • Needfuldoer
      Needfuldoer
      April 29, 2019 at 1:56 am | #

      They do if you bring one. New TVs are cheaper than ever, and there’s always hand-me-downs and the used market.

      Some colleges are even wired for cable with a limited number of channels, like a hotel. Sometimes they even have their own on-campus public access station. If you don’t get cable, you can always hook up a laptop, streaming box, or antenna.

      I haven’t been in a while, but p sure any dorm-provided TV would be inferior to whatever any student brings on their own

    If Dorothy is a perfect cinnamon roll, Lucy is a chocolate version.

    I’ve been brainstorming one for a while, and I think brownie batter as the binder won’t clash with the chocolate in a way cinnamon sugar would. If I can ever power through whatever keeps me from baking more at home I’ll provide an update.

        Is that chocolate-stuffed puff pastry?

        Ahem. Anyway, I really mean the form of a cinnamon roll, but with distinct chocolate flavorings. Instead of a snickerdoodle, a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. Does that make sense?

      She is kind of Ethan-like in that, when it comes to interacting with other people, her go-to is references to her own particular subset of nerd culture, and when that doesn’t work (as it often doesn’t) it takes some effort for her to connect.

    No, I agree with Ruth. She shouldn’t enter Billie’s room, whatever her room mate says.

    Of course, it wouldn’t even ding the top ten on their list of gross overstepping of bounds, and at this point I think Billie expects it.

      I’m inclined to agree, though then again, I don’t know if Billie expects to hear from Ruth again or not.

      I know the popular consensus at this point is that Ruth is the “good guy” of the relationship, but yeah, no, this is a team effort of bad. Just, various shades.

        The difference between Ruth and Billie is that Ruth is trying to get better.

        Doesn’t mean she doesn’t make plenty mistakes along the way, but that’s a heck of a lot better than not trying at all.

          Agree with this!

          I also agree with Bagge that it’d be better if Ruth left, though. Lucy is being very sweet, but I think it’ll be weird for Billie to come back to her room to find that her (ex?-)girlfriend has bonded with the roommate she dislikes.
          (Billie is wrong in not liking Lucy imo — I think Lucy is great — but that isn’t the point here.)

      Yeah, she probably shouldn’t, but given their relationship it’s not too bad. In fact, their whole relationship exists because of breaking into the other’s room without permission.

      I mean, it feels like a factor in the ethical conundrum should be that this is the day after Billie picked Ruth’s lock.

    A rational fangirl, a depressed RA and a narcisist tech genius spend the next two hours watching Love, Death and Robots and complain about the Homestuck Epilogues even if Ruth has no idea what Homestuck is.

    I hope Ruth regains her love of violence from the drugs. A pacifist Ruth is not a Ruth at all.

    It looks like Lucy is going for the ‘Perfect Cinnamon Roll’ award for this chapter! She is sweet, kind and genuinely nice, isn’t she? She’s also perceptive to see through Carla’s defence mechanisms so easily.

    This honestly makes me really happy for Lucy. Her going out (or now, inviting in) and talking with people, and not shutting off after how her dorm-mates ignored her (and her opinion) lately.
    I needed a comic like this today 🙂

      Given that Carla has clearly decided that Lucy is ‘hers’, it is possible that her vengeance on the Forrest Hall fangirls will be swift, terrible and utterly ridiculous. Could the Forrest/Read Prank Wars be about to begin?

    Princess Aura:
    Look! Water is leaking from her eyes.

    The Emperor Ming:
    It’s what they call tears, it’s a sign of their weakness.

    So Ruth is no longer Ming the Merciless!

      When was she a stereotype of evil Chinese people in space? Well, Ming was made caucasian in a modern version, so Ruth can still fight against Flash Gordon.

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.

Had a dream about Dumbing Of Age a couple of days ago that I couldn’t get out of my head so I had to illustrate it lol @damnyouwillis.bsky.social #webcomic #dumbingofage #webcomics
A comic depicting a dream I had about the current arc of the webcomic Dumbing Of Age by David Willis. 

Panel 1
Joyce, holding hands with Dorothy, with a pouty face: Sorry, Joe, but Dorothy and I are dating now.

Panel 2
There is a sad pause where Joe realises what’s happening, frowning with sad eyes. 

Panel 3
Joe, raising a finger up thoughtfully: I am very happy for you. Now if you’ll excuse me.

Panel 4
Joe, running down the hallway, screaming: HEY I NEED TO HAVE SEX CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME I REALLY WANT TO FUCK RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE SUPER GREAT I WANT SEX PLEASE

Panel 5
Jennifer, appearing out of nowhere, handing Joyce a beer can: Hold my beer.

Panel 6
Joe, continuing to run: SEX PLEASE SEX PLEASE GIMME SEX PLEASE
Jennifer chases after Joe, clearly going to satiate his needs. Joyce stares with disappointment and annoyance, still holding the beer can.
