That one didn’t start with prospectors but with those who work with sheep.
Unfortunately their hair has the unfortunate property of collecting material at the back end which is referred to as Daggs, though you would more likely know them as Dinggleberries.
Nabit is based on the word nab, to catch.
And there you have it. So wear gloves and wash frequently.
Wouldn’t that be more like “Dagnabbit!” or “Consarnit!” or something? I’m pretty sure those were used by Bart Simpson at one point and he was told to stop talking like a grizzled old 19th century prospector.
I don’t remember a Gaddangit, but Joyce has always been pretty free with the bowdlerized foul language. It may be that her recent willingness to use actual swears also translates into her casual usage getting closer to foul.
I was binge reading the comics, catching up on the last month and half, when I looked down to scan the comments and immediately wondered why people hadn’t commented much.
Oh yeah. I’m caught up. No more overabundance of story I can read at my leisure in a single setting.
Yaaaay.
I love Joyce and Dina’s goofy rivalry. I think it helps that the stakes aren’t high, and there’s not really any malice there, just mutual irksome moments with each other, like Dina trolling her on flu shots, and Joyce unintentionally doing so with the fire-breathing dinosaurs.
Joyce, you own a pair of monkey master leggings, a dexter shirt and a hat you wore unironically around the dorm when your parents visited. Maybe don’t start throwing stones yet.
But Joyce is having to deal with very rigid ‘adult’ roles and behaviours in her mind. A part of her wants to be ‘adult’ (or, more specifically, in control) and I think that drives a lot of her intrusive behaviour.
I don’t think growing up is always optional, refusal to grow up often causes those close to you problems. But its not so much about what you wear and more about learning to contribute to your community/family, learning not to be an A-hole, and taking responsibilty for your own life.
If I remember right the last time it was brought up with her she exploded about how if evolution is true then it’s not Adam and Eve’s fault that the world is awful, the world just is awful on it’s own or because God created it this way. Something along those lines I think.
Another reason she’d have a problem with Catholicism. Though mind you I’m not sure how they lean so heavily into original sin while also accepting evolution.
Well for one thing they explain evolution as divinely inspired. Basically they accept the scientific theories that the universe “spun from nothing” but they make God the Spinner. As for the original sin I’m not sure, but I think it might be the belief that we are all born capable of doing bad things, basically we are born corrupted and our goal should be to fight that corruption through out life. If we’d get to the bottom of this then humanity gaining sentience might be seen as the original sin.
I think Catholicism does not believe in the verbatim truth of the Bible but in its inherent truth. So the story of Adam and Eve need not to have actually happened to create original sin, it’s just a metaphor.
(I still struggle with the idea that anyone born in the 20thies century or later in a developed country would believe anything in there could possibly have happened as described there. It’s like thinking stuff described in Buffy the Vampire Slayer actually happened.)
That is always the take I have had in the bible, morality tales with maybe a bit of historic book keeping, what with all the this guy begot this guy who begot this guy tedium. Granted, that is not what the teachers at the fanatically catholic school I went to for grades 1-9 taught us. Those were dark times…
Still though, not all the stories there are bad, I have always enjoyed the story of Moses, just not of them should be taken as literal truth.
Mostly this as a catholic school attendee but still believe in transubstantiation… aka the wine and bread become literal body and blood of Christ. So – moral stories and canibalism!
Raised Catholic here, though stopped attending church when I was around 10. Catholics don’t have any problem with evolution. Here are some misconceptions:
1. The Catholic Church burned witches at the stake!
Nope! The official position of the Catholic Church is that witchcraft doesn’t exist.
2. The Catholic Church denies evolution!
True, they did at first, but so did many actual scientists, until the theory gained a lot more evidence.
3. The Catholic Church put Galileo under house arrest for saying the Earth revolved around the Sun!
Partially true. They did force him to recant what he said at first, however, it was because the Church thought very highly of Aristotle, the father of modern science. This is why the Pope asked him to weigh arguments on both sides, and why he was put on house arrest later, since he mocked the Pope in his book.
That witchcraft doesn’t exist is the PRESENT official position of the Catholic Church. I would suggest looking at Summis Desiderantes Affectibus, a papal bull by Pope Innocent VIII.
I thing the position of the Catholic Church on witchcraft changed several times.
The problem with it is, they believed in batteling heresy by any means possible, thus the Inquisition.
People who are sure they are saving your eternal soul from eternal damnation by torturing you and burning you at the stake are incredibly dangerous, especially if they have a power structure at their back that approves of this. And for a long time, the Catholic Church did.
I think the point of that strip was that Joyce sees the implications. Tying everything together like that makes the faith stronger, but it means if any one of those things breaks, the whole bundle collapses. Strong, but brittle, where a more flexible approach can survive losing some of the facets.
“During the Early Middle Ages, the Christian Churches did not conduct witch trials.[5] The Germanic Council of Paderborn in 785 explicitly outlawed the very belief in witches, and the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne later confirmed the law. Among Orthodox Eastern Christians concentrated in the Byzantine Empire, belief in witchcraft was widely regarded as deisidaimonia—superstition—and by the 9th and 10th centuries in the Latin Christian West, belief in witchcraft had begun to be seen as heresy.
However, towards the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the early modern period (post-Reformation), belief in witchcraft became more popular and witches were seen as directly in league with the Devil. This marked the beginning of a period of witch hunts among early Protestants which lasted about 200 years, and in some countries, particularly in North-Western Europe, thousands of people were accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death.
The Inquisition within the Roman Catholic Church had conducted trials against supposed witches in the 13th century, but these trials were to punish heresy, of which belief in witchcraft was merely one variety.[5] Inquisitorial courts only became systematically involved in the witch-hunt during the 15th century: in the case of the Madonna Oriente, the Inquisition of Milan was not sure what to do with two women who in 1384 and in 1390 confessed to have participated in a type of white magic.
Not all Inquisitorial courts acknowledged witchcraft. For example, in 1610 as the result of a witch hunting craze the Suprema (the ruling council of the Spanish Inquisition) gave everybody an Edict of Grace (during which confessing witches were not to be punished) and put the only dissenting inquisitor, Alonso de Salazar Frías, in charge of the subsequent investigation. The results of Salazar’s investigation was that the Spanish Inquisition did not bother witches ever again though they still went after heretics and Crypto-Jews.[6]”
Note that belief in witchcraft was considered heresy from around the 8th century, with only a brief acknowledgment of it during the 1400s, and even then, still not all Inquisitorial courts chose to try it as witchcraft itself rather than heresy.
Oh, yes, it was definitely more a Protestant thing than a Catholic thing. I was just pointing out that there WAS a point, albeit briefly, where the Catholic Church declared witchcraft to be a real thing that existed and involved itself in witch hunts.
Context is king. Cosplaying as a dinosaur counts as formal wear only under the appropriate circumstances. For Sarah’s birthday, the appropriate formal wear is cosplaying as Grumpy Cat.
Of course, this is Dina’s birthday too, so I’m genuinely surprised that Becky isn’t dressed up as a Raptor or something.
So then I’d imagine neither of you two have read It’s Walky, in which Dina’s name is not even as subtle as it is here. In It’s Walky she’s called Dina Sarazu.
Correct, I haven’t read that. I read this whole webcomic in a week, so now I’m going all the way back to the beginning of Roomies! to see how different it is.
Also, I’m starting a formal protest to force Willis to change the pronunciation of her name to what it clearly wants to be? Who’s with me?!

maturity is overrated

Pfft, it isn’t JOYCE’S birthday.

I love this comment.
“Awesome”.

Gaddangit! is a lot closer to foul language than Joyce usually gets for minor annoyances, isn’t it?
Maybe she was briefly possessed by the spirit of a 19th century prospector.
That thar’s a possibility.
Or by Sal.
That would be 72 f-bombs in a row.
That’d be ‘Goldurnit’.
Yeah I was about to say…
Maybe ‘Dagnabbit!’

Sal says gaddang sometimes.
Joyce is growing up in all the wrong ways.
Personally, I blame the parents.
There’s an Oompa-Loompa song in there somewhere.
Oompa
Loompa
Don’t raise your kids to be assholes
We’re not gonna bother rhyming, just don’t do it.
Aw, Joyce, don’t be rude!
Sick burn
Becky has been teaching her well.
Too hot for Dina to wear, or too hot for Becky to handle?
You can almost peek up the hood and see the top of her head. It’s the equivalent of an extremely short skirt for Becky, positively indecent.
That makes a lot of sense, actually.
Yes.
Yes indeed.
“This outfit is too hot to be worn to bed. Unrelatedly, it also gets too warm.”
“Oh, it’s all wet, and I’ll SWEAT
I’LL SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT, SWEAT,

Oh yeah. I’m caught up. No more overabundance of story I can read at my leisure in a single setting.
Yaaaay.
I’m sorry for your loss, but also congrats on completing the binge!
Oh, wait, not a full archive binge. Well, congrats on being caught up, anyway
Has Joyce forgotten that she’s already seen Dina in her tricera-hoodie?
I can’t unhear Joyce doing a Cartman impersonation in the last panel.
I think we’re all jealous of that hoodie. I certainly am.
I definitely am jealous of that hoodie too.
I mean, who wouldn’t be.
I am also jealous of that hoodie.
I love Joyce and Dina’s goofy rivalry. I think it helps that the stakes aren’t high, and there’s not really any malice there, just mutual irksome moments with each other, like Dina trolling her on flu shots, and Joyce unintentionally doing so with the fire-breathing dinosaurs.
It’s not entirely unlike Becky and Dorothy, or Dorothy and Roz. a low stakes clash of personalities that is completely hillarious.
I like Billie just standing back and experiencing this exchange. Which I expect is about all she feels up to doing.
Even doing that looks like too much. She looks ill-ill not comedy ill.
Joyce, who is it that has Monkey Master jammies, again?
Unfair; she doesn’t consider those to be formal attire.
Well why the hell not?
Dina plans to be both married and buried in that hoodie.
and fosilized
Preferably in that order.
Joyce, you own a pair of monkey master leggings, a dexter shirt and a hat you wore unironically around the dorm when your parents visited. Maybe don’t start throwing stones yet.
Billie’s “I need booze” face is everything
There better be a party hat on top of that hoodie eventually.
I’m guessing 3 party hats.
Joyce’s remark annoys me to an irrational degree, but Dina is handling it great.
I’m waiting to see if Becky chimes in. She’s right there.
I kiiiiinda think miss MonkeyMaster leggings is just a bit jelous of Dina owning her childishness without shame.
Dina pulling out the old Fluttershy trick of owning someone.
I just love Billie’s look of “can’t cope with this shit”. Comedy gold!
Too hot to be worn to bed?
There goes Dina’s idea for a birthday gift for Becky.
I wonder if it was for sexytimes. Or at least holding hands and looking at pictures of dinosaurs.
Why are you repeating yourself?
We KNOW it’s fit for holding hands and looking at pictures of dinosaurs

Willis, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, poisoning the tender minds of impressionable twenty-somethings with such detestable smut.
By the way, when is the next Slipshine coming out?
I feel special, for it was my burfday yesterday
What? Impossible. It was MY birthday yesterday.
The only way to settle this is with a battle to the death.
There can be only one!
Also mine
Joyce: “Now I need a hoodie!”
Dina: “Aren’t you a creationist?”
Joyce: “I am an optimistic nihilist.”
In which Joyce is reminded that growing up does not require that one abide by an arbitrary ‘adult behaviour’ stereotype.
Growing up is optional.
But Joyce is having to deal with very rigid ‘adult’ roles and behaviours in her mind. A part of her wants to be ‘adult’ (or, more specifically, in control) and I think that drives a lot of her intrusive behaviour.

So the funny thing about loss of faith is that it happens before realizing all the implications of it. At some point she’s going to have the realization of a sixth frame to this strip

Tangential: Is this Sapphire in Hit the Diamond?
Looks like her, but Sapphire is kind of blue.
Yeah, that’s another thing I was wondering too.
That is Dina sass and I am HERE FOR IT!
I think Joyce is jealous that she does not have a pair of Monkey Master PJs, that are just as cool.
not gonna judge, this was basically me in college, heck it’s basically me now and I’m brushing up on my mid thirties.
Dina and logic win again!
Dina is a fool. She should wear it to bed in the winter, when the temperature is coldest, and also not use blankets while in the outfit.
I know the FAQ says her name is “DEE-nuh”, but given her obsession, I think “DYE-nuh” is more appropriate.
Especially since her last name starts with a “saur”-sounding syllable.
So then I’d imagine neither of you two have read It’s Walky, in which Dina’s name is not even as subtle as it is here. In It’s Walky she’s called Dina Sarazu.

I have not, but the name “Dina Saruyama” isn’t subtle either.
This has always been Willis’ greatest crime.
“Dina” is not pronounced the way you want. You’re looking for “Dinah,” with an H.
