      I dunno, hitting him was fine in the other ‘verse where he’s a super strong metahuman with violent tendencies, and she’s an ordinary person, but here he’s a normal guy who’s just kind of a dick and she’s the one with an unhealthy capacity for violence.

      Kinda changes the tone of the whole thing.

        Nah, Mike’s definitely more than ‘just kinda a dick’ and since he’s fictional, I don’t care about violence against his person.

        After he came back from death and started working for Glasgo it wasn’t clear he was still a superstrong metahuman. He was still into pain though and Amber blackmailing him into a relationship turned him on. But in any case, I don’t think that hitting him was okay because he was super strong. Hitting him was okay because he was Mike.

          Regardless, you’re right about why it’s okay to hit him.

      I would say his “I hope you didn’t internalize that” bit is, in and of itself cruel. If he really had turned over a new leaf, pretending he didn’t really think he could do harm wouldn’t be an option.

      • AntJ
        AntJ
        September 4, 2019 at 10:31 am | #

        The way I read that storyline, it seemed like Mike actually DOES care about Amber, and especially Ethan. He made the asshole excuse to Blaine to throw him off the trail so he wouldn’t hurt his friends, and he’s kept it up because when other people know how you feel about others they can exploit that. So he minimized his weak spots, though it led to Ethan breaking his heart.

          thejeff
          September 4, 2019 at 11:20 am | #

          Maybe, but that means he’s spend the last 5 years tormenting Amber and Ethan to minimize his weak spots. Which leaves him an asshole.

          I still don’t want a secret hero asshole. If he wants to stop being an asshole, he can start by not being an asshole, not by some contrived master plan to save the day by being one.

            I could see it ending with Mike thwarting Blaine’s plan by doing something genuinely nice and/or doing something that exposes real, human emotions behind his assholishness. Because that’s the last thing Blaine would expect.

            HOWEVER, the reveal isn’t treated as a “get out of previous behavior free” card by the rest of the cast, and he has to start rebuilding his relationships from scratch.

            Alternatively, part of the plot of Book 10 is that Mike actually IS trying to turn over a new leaf, but nobody believes it because a) it’s Mike and b) New Mike is still a dick because old habits and all that. Ultimately the only way he can prove that he’s trying to be better is by thwarting Blaine’s plan in a way that leaves him hurt and/or in trouble of some kind, which hits the reset button on his relationships with everyone.

            But that’ obviously speculation based off of my personal reading of Mike’s backstory chapter. As in I think that deep down he does care for Amber and especially Ethan, and that the Mike we see today is a mask he originally wore to throw Blaine off his trail. The fling with Ethan made him realize that he hates what he’s become.

          At least here in the US it isn’t explicitly illegal to consume human flesh, but murder, abuse of a corpse and assault with a deadly weapon are all charges that could be leveled depending on the method of procurement and all can be charged regardless of the consent of the person whose flesh was being procured.

        You make it sound like Dina x Becky was a thing in the Walkyverse, but that never happened. I don’t recall the two of them ever meeting, since Becky was never in SEMME, and I don’t think was introduced until long after Dina’s death.

            Oh! Shortpacked! Okay, yeah, that’s Walkyverse too. I was just thinking of Roomies! and IW! leading up to the J&W stories, where Becky’s soon to be introduced. So, he’s talking about Alt-Dina & Alt-Becky, who are from a different universe.

              Yeah, so far there’s no reciprocal rule about DoA relationships getting backported to the Walkyverse.

              As much as I’d like to see Joyce and Walky together again, I like the pseudo-frenemy bickering they do as it is.

                …By which I mean, the DoA relationship pre-dated the Walkyverse relationship, plus there’s no actual exploration of the relationship in the Walkyverse, it’s just that one drawing.

                  @NickG: Oh, right, I totally forgot they’re presented as a couple in the 2018 April 1st comic. Two drawings, then! Thanks for the reminder.

                  Is this motorcycle pinup in a public space, or paid content? If the latter, where does one pay?

        The very last strip of the last universe was Joyce and Walky talking about whether or not they would have fallen in love if they met in a normal environment like college, so I’m really hoping that that ship is what this comic is leading to.

      The main exception is Ruth and Billie, though their Walkyverse relationship was mostly retconned flashbacks, IIRC.

      FWIW, I’m not sure if it is a friendship or if Mike and Amber know each other well enough that they can anticipate each other and are comfortable,/i> with each other because they know what to expect in interactions. Whether that classifies ‘friendship’ I’m less sure.

        I don’t think either friendship or comfortable are words I’d use. Amber knows what to expect from him, that’s true enough.

          Amber tolerates him. Mike hangs around. Sounds like friendship to me given Amber’s antisocial tendencies and Mike being Mike.

            Amber tolerates him for Ethan’s sake, near as I can tell. She never seeks him out, she never says anything nice about him. (other than his abs)

            Mike doesn’t have friends, but he is willing to stand next to her.

    Maybe Ethan walking away really was a Road to Damascus moment for Mike? After all, his behaviour finally got him what he wanted… and then took it away again. It isn’t beyond possibility that he really is turning over a new leaf!

    See if he were still mean he would say something like “But your ass is so big that would take all day and midterms are coming up! Ask Walky to do it. He’s got plenty of freetime since he’s already a lost cause.” But isn’t mean anymore so he’s letting that be implied through silence.

    It is set up for more Mike back story. We got a taste of it and its time for more. Plus Mike could be a valuable ally vs the Dumb Dads. Last we saw kid Mike, he was standing up to adults to protect kid Amber. He can think like and out-think assholes. That would resonate well. I’m holding to that as more Ross and Blaine just makes me sick to my stomach.

    for a brief period of time, I forgot that in another universe they did actually hook up, and also have a baby? babies? IDK. There were babies in that other universe. So many babies. It’s almost a shame to make dumbingverse an alternate reality instead of just all the offspring of the cast. Well, Ruth would still be dead, and Dina, so that would certainly suck. Sigh.

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.
