Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
It is your bladder that makes you do that as a result of your kidneys filling it because your blood doesn’t like contaminants and insists they be purged. Clearly the solution is to stop having blood.
My body came up with a brilliant solution: Can’t wake up needing to pee if your kidneys don’t do anything!
Of course, this means that I have to spend 12+ hours a week having my precious lifejuice run through a dialysis machine, but that’s a small price to pay for a full night’s sleep.
Hrmm. Waking up at 4 to jog an hour and then come back to bed? That sounds nicer.
I wish I didn’t live by a friggin highway so I could go out and do that stuff without worrying some drunk jackass will run me over.
I don’t know – I personally definitely need to shower after a run and then going to bed after showering just to get up an hour or two later…
And I’ve just checked (I’m used to celsius) and now I’m wondering how Dorothy isn’t in ice-block-form right now. If I can avoid it I don’t go for a run below 5°C, especially at night/morning, because the cold air literally hurts my nose while breathing.
So yeah, Ughhhh.
(Okay, sorry if I’m spamming at this point but this is the post I meant to reply to.)
If (and it’s a big if) Dorothy were to actually pull the fire alarm as a prank she’d do in when the building was at its emptiest, in keeping with the whole ‘mildly subversive’ thing.
If (and it’s a big if) Dorothy were to actually pull the fire alarm as a prank she’d do in when the building was at its emptiest, in keeping with the whole ‘mildly subversive’ thing.
Unless she’s like me; gets up super early to do my healthy habit for the day, come home after an hour and sleep for 3 more hours till I have to go to work.
But who are we kidding, Dorothy’s probably better then me.
I’ll bite: how did Ethan and Walky interact with Mike?
Did Amber make Mike real by wishing REALLY hard?
Is Ethan somehow subject to Amber’s delusion?
Is Mike a Long-Range Physical Stand and Amazigirl just hasn’t been trying hard enough to manifest HER Stand?
Turns out Dumbing of Age is just the comic version of LOST. Sal *wasn’t* the one that got stabbed all those years ago: it was Amber, who is bleeding out on the store floor, imagining everything you’ve seen in DoA. Willis goes for the long con!
I think this is the scene when they do a headcount, realize Mike is missing, assume he’s shacked up in a different dorm building with an unknown fuckbuddy, and resume ignoring his absence.
A headcount? They’re college students, mostly adults. They’re allowed to be places other than their dorm (Dorothy just said she was about to leave), so nobody knows how many people are supposed to have evacuated.
There must be some kind of a check though, to make sure someone didn’t sleep through the alarm and burn. Nothing to do with adults, just a safety matter.
I can’t speak for other schools, but some operate kind of like an apartment building, just with an RA on each floor. At mine, there was no such thing as resident sign out to keep up with who was in at the time. The only sign-in/sign-out our dorm had was for guests, and at 4am, the front desk would have been closed anyway. The dorm nearest to mine didn’t even have a front desk; they just a key card entry.
We had the threat of being fined ($50, I think) if we didn’t leave during a fire alarm, regardless of whether it was for a real emergency, but since RAs had to evacuate with everyone else and when they banged on the door, all you had to do was just…not respond, it was kind of an unenforceable.
Our RAs couldn’t open each person’s doors on their floor because there was only one set of master keys and that was for the RA on call, and that RA was NOT going to go through 8 floors of residents to make sure nobody stayed in their room.
I never understood that, either. I worked the midnight – 4 am shift several days/week and I think the desk reopened at 7 or 8.
It also meant if you’d left your card key in your room or something and got back after the desk closed, you’d have to call one of your friends who lived there to let you in. Or use the external phone to call the RA on call and hope they weren’t the ones who’d fill out the lock-out form to charge you a $5 fine. (Most RAs would just stagger downstairs and let you in and go back to bed, but there were a couple by-the-book-always who would do the form every time)
Crap, I wish I could edit my post. What I meant was, the RA could have a sheet with the names of all the people in the dorm. They could go down the list. The reason for this wouldn’t be to find out if someone had come home or was sleeping in another dorm, or any other “parent” type things. The reason would be to make sure someone hadn’t slept through the alarm and, if it was a real fire, would now be in danger.
In this case, when they got to Mike, Walky would say he hadn’t come back that night.
Of course, I don’t know if this is how things are handled or not. I was only in dorms a year and we didn’t have any alarms in that time. I do know that after the Nisqually earthquake in 2001, the company I worked for at the time instituted a rule that in case of an earthquake, fire or other reason to evacuate the building, each department head would do a roll call or head count of their department to make sure no one was stuck inside. This was because after the earthquake, no one checked on a guy who had a broken leg, and he had a hard time getting down the stairs and out of the building when we evacuated.
When we work, Mrs. Abides and myself are typically going to bed when the sun comes up. It’s not bitterness so much as not comprehending people who pretend night shifts don’t exist.
Plus, we always see ones from my sister-in-law, who puts captions on them designed to irritate non-morning people. She’s even told us that she gets worried when we don’t send a friendly “fuck you” before a post-work sunrise picture shows up.
Hah, if it’s friendly then that’s all good!
I don’t post sunrise photos because I don’t get up *that* early, but I go running in the morning when I’m able. The online running community is also super positive and encouraging of each other, so the idea of someone hating on another person’s morning workout really bothers me because it’s been ingrained into me to be supportive.
Oof. I wonder if she revelled in the attention, or if her revelling in attention (and loudly declaring how much she doesn’t give a crap what other people think about her, etc) is partly a reflex from being in the spotlight whether she wanted to or not.
I’d actually say it’s the first one, given how comfortable she is with herself in other situations. For her, I think the Newsweek cover is sorta like the Carla Laser Light Show, but on a national scale.
I mean, come on. She loves to brag about herself. How better than to get oo the cover of a giant magazine?
Every magazine I pass by in the stores is some clip show of something or someone who was famous no later than the 1980s. Did you know this year will be the 51st anniversary of Woodstock?
When klaxons sound, the students leave their beds
And stumble, one by one, into the cold.
They rub their eyes to clear their sleepy heads
And argue, sometimes, contra what they’re told.
The darkness emphasizes their distress
(And boosts their peril, which they don’t yet know).
They only want to sleep, forget the mess,
It’s back to bed they’re longing now to go.
See Sarah grumble now at Dorothy
Who, lone among them all, had been alert;
Her exercise routine keeps her healthy
And ready too to deal with others’ hurt.
The sleep she’s lost, she counts as modest gain;
The others merely feel their loss as pain.
I probably would have still been up at 4 a.m. when I was in college, or just getting ready to go to bed. And now I tend to stay up even later than that. I don’t get much sleep.
It was that brat…the senator’s sister, i forgot her name, trying to do a mess to Destroy her sister’s campaign again…(she is there)
Or it was the Murderous duo…i prefer it to be the bongoy girl…who would have gotten expelled if it wasn’t for her sister intervening
I’m not sure that Joyce’s reaction in panel 4 is ‘envy’. If anything, I’m surprised that she didn’t glomp Dotty on sight, based on the width of her smile.
She may be in the fall weather equivalent I think. Shorts and a tanktop like she had on are fine in warmer weather, but a hoodie, tee shirt and either sweatpants or trackpants, as here, are pretty much ideal for comfort once it gets below 50°F.
The only time someone grins as widely as Joyce is grinning when they see someone after being woken up at 4 am by a pulled fire alarm is if they see someone they want to hanky-panky with.
Optimus Prime broke down and cried on the set of "Transformers" (2007) due to the extensive use of green screen filming. He reportedly said, "This is not why I became an actor."
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com ⋅ 1d
Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno

Hailey Piper 
I would’ve been up, too
but bc my kidneys wake me up in the middle of the night to excrete urine before making me unable to fall BACK asleep
Ugh. I hate when that happens.
DAMN IT
It is your bladder that makes you do that as a result of your kidneys filling it because your blood doesn’t like contaminants and insists they be purged. Clearly the solution is to stop having blood.
It is a solution. Not having blood would certainly prevent you from waking up in the middle of the night.
My body came up with a brilliant solution: Can’t wake up needing to pee if your kidneys don’t do anything!
Of course, this means that I have to spend 12+ hours a week having my precious lifejuice run through a dialysis machine, but that’s a small price to pay for a full night’s sleep.
The rest of us are stuck in 2020 while you’re out here living in 2352
This semester probably won’t be over UNTIL 2352.
I mean, until I found out it was multiple times a week, I wondered if dialysis was worth being able to eat meat again
I can assure you that it is not worth it, and eating cows is one of my favorite activities.
Sarah is on point here, screw you and your healthy habits Dorothy.
Jogging with that cold? Ughhhh.
Hrmm. Waking up at 4 to jog an hour and then come back to bed? That sounds nicer.
I wish I didn’t live by a friggin highway so I could go out and do that stuff without worrying some drunk jackass will run me over.

So yeah, Ughhhh.
Don’t shame her for being productive. It’s our fault we sleep late and wake up late.
Being up in the middle of the night isn’t exactly an inherently “healthy habit.”
Plot twist: Dorothy pulled the alarm as a joke because she knows she can outrun everyone else out there.
cruisin’ rebelstyle, homeslice
(Okay, sorry if I’m spamming at this point but this is the post I meant to reply to.)
If (and it’s a big if) Dorothy were to actually pull the fire alarm as a prank she’d do in when the building was at its emptiest, in keeping with the whole ‘mildly subversive’ thing.
Dorothy gets up at 4AM to go jogging?! What time is her first class or how far does she run? I didn’t even get up that early for PT in the Army! :O
Her first class is at 8:00, IIRC.
If (and it’s a big if) Dorothy were to actually pull the fire alarm as a prank she’d do in when the building was at its emptiest, in keeping with the whole ‘mildly subversive’ thing.

Unless she’s like me; gets up super early to do my healthy habit for the day, come home after an hour and sleep for 3 more hours till I have to go to work.
But who are we kidding, Dorothy’s probably better then me.
I suspect Dorothy is better than all of us.
So Amber didn’t complete the all nighter.
ugh!
So…will Mike just show up? Or will this be when they notice he isn’t here?
Could Amazi-Girl have pulled the alarm herself for that very purpose or is this theory too crackpot?
no, the consensus is the pot ( plot ) is somewhere between wildly cracky and full on crack party pot.
Plot twist, Mike has always been Amber’s imaginary “friend”…
I’ll bite: how did Ethan and Walky interact with Mike?
Did Amber make Mike real by wishing REALLY hard?
Is Ethan somehow subject to Amber’s delusion?
Is Mike a Long-Range Physical Stand and Amazigirl just hasn’t been trying hard enough to manifest HER Stand?
Turns out Dumbing of Age is just the comic version of LOST. Sal *wasn’t* the one that got stabbed all those years ago: it was Amber, who is bleeding out on the store floor, imagining everything you’ve seen in DoA. Willis goes for the long con!
There is no Mike
Only Zuul?
Goodbye Carla, the Queen of Rutten…
I think this is the scene when they do a headcount, realize Mike is missing, assume he’s shacked up in a different dorm building with an unknown fuckbuddy, and resume ignoring his absence.
A headcount? They’re college students, mostly adults. They’re allowed to be places other than their dorm (Dorothy just said she was about to leave), so nobody knows how many people are supposed to have evacuated.
wasn’t there a mention of a sign out sheet? My college had that for the specific reason of people being out of the building during a fire alarm
In that case he never signed in, so counting the people who are supposed to be there wouldn’t notice his absence either.
There must be some kind of a check though, to make sure someone didn’t sleep through the alarm and burn. Nothing to do with adults, just a safety matter.
I mean, if it was a real alarm.
I can’t speak for other schools, but some operate kind of like an apartment building, just with an RA on each floor.

This was because after the earthquake, no one checked on a guy who had a broken leg, and he had a hard time getting down the stairs and out of the building when we evacuated.
They do that by checking the rooms. The list wouldn’t tell them anything since most “missing” students weren’t there in the first place.
Also a dorm with no fire alarms for a year? That is.. an outlier.
Remember Billie and drunken Ruth hiding in the half-bath when Billie pulled the fire alarm?
Of course the dark shit happens on an early morning fire alarm pull.
Lmao, fantastic alt-text today
Carla is fucking great.
Dina looks pretty alert as well.
She gets a GREAT night’s sleep on the Velociplushie.
Dorothy would get along with Solaire of Astora and Ferdinand Von Aegir. No need to shame her, Sarah. It’s your fault being an antisocial jerkass.
Also, is that Roz with a new fling.
Nice pun, Carla.
joyce_brown

dina_saruyama
*rechecks alt-text* Darn it, Willis, now my skit is ruined! (among others)
I am worried about Fuckface. Malaya’s reassurances to him are foreboding.
At least Dorothy’s in a good enough headspace to start jogging again?
People reply “fuck you” to sunrise photos? How bitter do you have to be? Just let others be happy.
Like, Sarah level bitter?
When we work, Mrs. Abides and myself are typically going to bed when the sun comes up. It’s not bitterness so much as not comprehending people who pretend night shifts don’t exist.
Plus, we always see ones from my sister-in-law, who puts captions on them designed to irritate non-morning people. She’s even told us that she gets worried when we don’t send a friendly “fuck you” before a post-work sunrise picture shows up.

The online running community is also super positive and encouraging of each other, so the idea of someone hating on another person’s morning workout really bothers me because it’s been ingrained into me to be supportive.
Unless you’re going to bed at around 8 PM, going on a 4 AM run to start the day isn’t really that healthy Dorothy…
But it’s productive!
What’s the usual time of year for high-school proms?
Late spring, usually. There are other dances, but the one called “prom” is usually sometime in May, or maybe early June.
Likely to be cancelled this year, then.
Nothing of value will be lost, there.
Depends on the year. I THINK mine was in April or May, but our school year went until June so it could be later.
Looks like Roz was with some guy at 4am. Hmmm.
Where’s Mary?
At Peter’s, for maximum hypocrisy.
I was wondering why that guy in the hoodie didn’t have a name in the tags.
Other Other Tag, the hoodie guy.
By the look on her face she was done doing sexythings and just trying to get some goddamn sleep
OTOH, they seem to be walking away from the rest. Maybe it’s “We’re up now, so why not …”
Or just heading to his dorm where there isn’t a fire alarm.
“Hey, I’ve been out since that cover of Newsweek”
Oof. I wonder if she revelled in the attention, or if her revelling in attention (and loudly declaring how much she doesn’t give a crap what other people think about her, etc) is partly a reflex from being in the spotlight whether she wanted to or not.
Guessing it’s that second one.
I’d actually say it’s the first one, given how comfortable she is with herself in other situations. For her, I think the Newsweek cover is sorta like the Carla Laser Light Show, but on a national scale.
I mean, come on. She loves to brag about herself. How better than to get oo the cover of a giant magazine?
Which is all the reflex from being in the spotlight whether she wanted it or not.
For so many of these characters, the surface persona is all defense mechanism.
Wait, Newsweek is still being published?
Every magazine I pass by in the stores is some clip show of something or someone who was famous no later than the 1980s. Did you know this year will be the 51st anniversary of Woodstock?

Roz?
“That brat” is really not specific enough in this comic.
Is Ultra Car always listed when Carla appears? If not, what gives?
Never mind. I caught it. Door decoration!
4am is usually when I go to sleep so me and Dorothy just exchange watches
If she gets up at 4am I hope she goes to bed early so she gets enough sleep.
No, she just read too many books on how successful people don’t need much sleep.
I think that Amber pretty much sums up my reaction to a situation like that at a time like that.
I admire Dorothy, but I am totally Sarah here.
It was Amber who pulled the alarm, right?
…or amazi-girl?

Dumbing of Age Book 10: OUT
Dorothy continue to be the envy of her peer group… in her dreams.
I’m just sad she isn’t in her jogging dress.

I’m not sure that Joyce’s reaction in panel 4 is ‘envy’. If anything, I’m surprised that she didn’t glomp Dotty on sight, based on the width of her smile.
She may be in the fall weather equivalent I think. Shorts and a tanktop like she had on are fine in warmer weather, but a hoodie, tee shirt and either sweatpants or trackpants, as here, are pretty much ideal for comfort once it gets below 50°F.
Hmmm.
Did Amber come in from the dorms? Or . . .
elsewhere?
Fuck, it’s Blaine. Blaine pulled the fire alarm.
Fuck, it’s Blaine. Blaine pulled the fire alarm.
Fuck, it’s Blaine. Blaine pulled the fire alarm.
The only time someone grins as widely as Joyce is grinning when they see someone after being woken up at 4 am by a pulled fire alarm is if they see someone they want to hanky-panky with.
Fuck, it’s Blaine. Blaine pulled the fire alarm.
What about, you know – Joyce seeing Dorothy?
Any situation, any time, any place.
We’re going to get the smile.
Blaine can’t get in the building. He’s locked out.
But Asher could.
Seriously Dorothy? I’m totally with Ruth here.
Looks like Amber may have fallen asleep, which would put Amazi-Girl as the alarm-puller.
