Yes and yes that can actually happen best/worst…like getting an old car/boat for a birthday. Yippee, new to me old car/boat. Awww dang that sucker is going to put me in the poor house fixing up and running. (those who’ve had old cars or a boat of any kind can emote.)
The vast majority of people will void themselves when shot at the first time. At least, it’s documented as very common amongst first time combat soldiers. When the body is suddenly convinced it is in a very fight or die situation, it dumps everything it doesn’t need to survive _RIGHT NOW_. So, yeah excitement can definitely move things along. Not sure this is that level, but if it is for Daisy, well, power to her.
She could have IBS, I do get stress poops. It’s annoying cause I get stressed about getting places on time but I also don’t want hold it if I don’t know the next time I’ll be able to go.
They’re at Galasso’s. As part of his scheme to intimidate his customers, he probably keeps those bathrooms so clean that anyone who goes into them feels unworthy to actually use them.
Having a top 5 list doesn’t technically confirm that there even is 5 just that you’re making a list of 5. If you’ve only ever watched 1 movie it would still technically be in your top 5 movies. Not saying Daisy hasn’t been on more than five dates but I’m also not saying she has.
Okay, so I subscribe to one of those crate thingies which sends me a classic novel and a bunch of related goodies every month, and this month was Pride and Prejudice. I finished reading it two days ago and am now watching the 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth.
And all I can think of is that Lizzie totally could have gotten Mr. Collins’s off her back much easier if in response to his proposal she announced that she needed to poop.
Walky might possibly be getting laid soon, but it looks like Ruth is possibly getting laid sooner! Ruth:1 Walky: A tentative 1 to be granted later pending results.
Another reminder that these are college students and even upperclassfolk – even those who are as thirsty as Daisy – may have never had sex with another person.
I am given to understand that if one gets to A Certain Age and hasn’t had sex, but wants to, hiring a sex worker (ethically) is a good option to get over that initial discomfort and not have to put so much weight into it. As in, the pressure of also being part of a new relationship.
I feel like Daisy has some experience. Won’t guess on whether or not she’s a virgin but her particular brand of thirst rings of someone who knows what they’re missing out on to some extent. I compare it to someone like Becky who is also very horny, but she seems way more shy and innocent about the subject and more fantastic in her expression of desire.
Definitely. I’m pretty sure she’s made comments in the past that implies it’s been a while, which implies there is a time from which the while…has been?
another reminder that plenty of adults, voluntarily or not, remain virgins well into adulthood, and pointing it out like it’s weird that everyone didn’t fuck in high school is uh… not a good look.
I was watching a video where one of the guys was surprised their friend had had sex before, because he just didn’t seem the type. And he was like “uh yeah, I’m 30” and I was just like “well fuck me I guess, damn!”
Recently had a conversation with several coworkers where one of them mentioned the Treasure Chest, then realized that some of us might not know what that was since it was no longer there?
I asked if that was the place where the Wawa was now, and she said yes, then she mentioned something that used to be sold there.
I then mentioned that I went to HS with someone who had a sex tape sold there (though I never saw it) and that my gf and I had even bought a sex toy there once.
She started laughing and making a big deal about what I had just said, to which I replied that she was the one who brought the place up. Then she told me she just didn’t expect to hear that from me.
I said “Molly, I’m 40. Believe it or not, I have had sex before.”
*This story brought to you be the urge to feel included in the conversation as well as an example of both the bias of not viewing someone as having a connection to sexual topics and the bias “you’d expect people to have sex by __ age”.*
I’m guessing from context that Treasure Chest is some kind of smut shop? I still need to visit one of those, some day. It would have to be FAR out of town, though.
Far out of town to make sure no one recognizes you? Cuz the thing about sex shops and being seen is…anyone who runs into you, you are running into THEM as well. So either you both just treat it as normal, or if you are both embarrassed, you keep each other’s secret. They can’t tell anyone without also admitting they were at a sex shop.
Nope. Yesterday Anachronistic made that comparison and I took note of it. Though funny story AS I was drawing it the Archie special came on as a rerun. It was so damn apropos that it felt like it was meant to be.
Nicely done, you did a good job of capturing the characters in the Archie look. Only comment would be that “Betty” and “Veronica” should have identical bodies.
Another Hazel! I’ll confess to being a False Hazel. It’s my main pseudonym I use online. Partly for privacy reasons but also because I just find it so lovely. It’s a tree, a colour combo and it sounds dang cool.
So whether you were bestowed the name at birth or are another fan of the mix of green and brown, nice to meet you too!
Thanks for the reminder, I turned it back on for a while (I was getting ads that blocked the comic or wrecked the page format) and forgot to turn it back on.
Reminded that Jennifer described Daisy as “pissy, nihilistic, and desperate”… Daisy is really only showing the last part tonight. Wonder what Ruth thinks of that.
*hand-holding and emotional support in the face of mental illness*
…I am now extremely interested in this ship.
(And crying laughing at Daisy sprinting for the bathroom. Not for sexy reasons but I have social anxiety pretty bad and my body will also yeet its solids if I get sufficiently nervous, even if its a good nervous. If I poop at your house either you have deeply traumatized me or we are very good friends.)
As much as I wanted Ruth/Jennifer to work out, these two definitely seem like they’ll have a much more stable relationship. Though I imagine that Jennifer is going to find herself with some regrets over setting them up together, considering her original decision to do so wasn’t exactly an act of integri— (gets yanked off stage)
Daisy asked Ruth about herself. Ruth felt comfortable enough to open up and be vulnerable. Daisy’s response was sympathy via light physical contact. It’s one of the healthier relationships we’ve seen so far.
So far it seems like Daisy’s capable of giving Ruth the positive support she needs and the pushback she wants. It remains to be seen how Daisy’s self-confidence deficiency will interfere with that dynamic.
Just realized I had a wrong image of Ruth all the time:
Didn’t know ‘bowels’, so had to look that one up, which made me realize that Ruth didn’t actually threaten to disembowel people on a regular basis. Apparently I never bothered to look up ‘femurs’ before and came up with a context based ‘translation’ instead.
Honestly? I’ve had way worse first dates than this. The amount of times I’ve had to bail in-person after days/weeks of talking is ridiculous. From the girl who mocked her last boyfriend who couldn’t handle her free spirit (she cheated on him), to the girl who laughed at our waitress (a girl she had bullied in middle school), to the secretly racist/homophobic/etc. Being so excited to be there that they could poop is almost charming, in comparison.
“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.”

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
Cops are overgrown children cosplaying War, with all the rest of us forced into their stupid, childish game without our consent, consuming vast funds from the public treasury and ruining lives by the hundreds of thousands.

I cannot get over these cops wearing night vision to arrest a dude on a Southwest Airlines flight in broad daylight.
best and/or worst bday present?
Yes and yes that can actually happen best/worst…like getting an old car/boat for a birthday. Yippee, new to me old car/boat. Awww dang that sucker is going to put me in the poor house fixing up and running. (those who’ve had old cars or a boat of any kind can emote.)
Can’t say I’ve ever been so excited my body just decided to abandon ship but hey, good on ya Ruth.
The vast majority of people will void themselves when shot at the first time. At least, it’s documented as very common amongst first time combat soldiers. When the body is suddenly convinced it is in a very fight or die situation, it dumps everything it doesn’t need to survive _RIGHT NOW_. So, yeah excitement can definitely move things along. Not sure this is that level, but if it is for Daisy, well, power to her.
Actually, Daisy’s body just decided to abandon shit.
She could have IBS, I do get stress poops. It’s annoying cause I get stressed about getting places on time but I also don’t want hold it if I don’t know the next time I’ll be able to go.
Excellent point. IBS can legit have that effect, and given the degree of nerves present, pretty understandable.
At least Ruth’s not into that
Not in a literal sense, no.
A Slipshine seems imminent.
Not too imminent, hopefully. I can’t imagine that bathroom is clean. Ew.
Now, Slipshine in an in-universe hour or so after they get back to someone’s room – that I could get behind.
They’re at Galasso’s. As part of his scheme to intimidate his customers, he probably keeps those bathrooms so clean that anyone who goes into them feels unworthy to actually use them.
That is the most Galasso thing ever and until it gets contradicted in the comic I’m considering it canon.
But Walky and Joyce use them.
Walky because he doesn’t care and Joyce because it’s the only public bathroom that meets her standards.
They use them, but they still feel unworthy to do so.
“She’s Worth a Deuce”, a Dumbing of Age pornographique by David “This is Getting DeviantArt-y” Willis
Heh, literally LOL’d there. All Interwebz to you sir, ma’am, or well, whatever you may be.
Gonna be expensive getting the rights from KISS to use that song as background music for the comic.
Nervousness can do that.
Well if this doesn’t ruin Daisy’s chances, virtually nothing can
Ruth made up her mind ten minutes ago, there is nothing Daisy can do to stop her now.
Birthday intensifies.
Top five because there’s only been five?
Please let it be because there’s only been five.
Also, Daisy, I don’t care how much you want Ruth to top you, this isn’t how to go about it.
My guess: she’s had six.
You don’t want to know what happened on #6.
Daisy accidentally replicated her date and the replica hijacked the date.
My best guess is that at some point in the past her parents tried to convince her she wasn’t gay by setting her up on dates with guys.
Worst case scenario (which I really really hope isn’t true) is that they tried to set her up with that “nice” young man who’s the son of a pastor.
Well that got unexpectedly dark.
Kernanator said we didn’t wanna know what happened, so my pessimistic-ass brain kinda jumped to the worst thing it could think of.
It occurs to me in hindsight that yeah, I probably should have put in a warning. I’m sorry for not doing so.
Having a top 5 list doesn’t technically confirm that there even is 5 just that you’re making a list of 5. If you’ve only ever watched 1 movie it would still technically be in your top 5 movies. Not saying Daisy hasn’t been on more than five dates but I’m also not saying she has.
I’m pretty sure that this date is Number 2.
Look, I saw an actual O RLY? meme in the actual wild yesterday, you think I won’t release a feral sunglasses/YEEAAAAAAAAAAH? Try me. xD
Okay, so I subscribe to one of those crate thingies which sends me a classic novel and a bunch of related goodies every month, and this month was Pride and Prejudice. I finished reading it two days ago and am now watching the 1995 miniseries with Colin Firth.
And all I can think of is that Lizzie totally could have gotten Mr. Collins’s off her back much easier if in response to his proposal she announced that she needed to poop.
OMG, you got to watch Pride and Prejudice WITH Colin Firth? I’m so jealous right now!! Or… did I get that wrong?
The man can pack away Doritos like nobody’s business.
My wife has copies of every variant of Pride and Prejudice ever put to paper or film.
Walky might possibly be getting laid soon, but it looks like Ruth is possibly getting laid sooner! Ruth:1 Walky: A tentative 1 to be granted later pending results.
*plays “Pipeline” on the jukebox*
XD
The Chantays, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Anthrax–it’s all good.
Fun times, fun times.
Then again, you’d think you’d chew your date first before chewing on some food but heyyyy first impressions
Not a good game again for Toronto. Maybe they’ll win once more once Ruth and Daisy blow this joint.
I can’t say I’ve ever had excitement and the sudden need to poop at the same time.
Re: Alt text: That’s both tragic and hilarious.
I can definitely say I’ve never had the need to poop from excitement either.
jesus christ, daisy
I’m not sure if even Jesus can help here
If he does help, will it be a “holy shit?”
I should have seen this coming
Nice turdplay.
Oh, god, that laugh felt good. I love these two.
Okay, but let’s be honest here. At least she’s going beforehand and not waiting til after they get started. That could be VERY embarrassing.
Unless Ruth is into that
Another reminder that these are college students and even upperclassfolk – even those who are as thirsty as Daisy – may have never had sex with another person.
I mean I’m 27 and I haven’t. I dunno it’s kinda hard
I don’t know how anyone manages to do it.
There’s a reason it’s called “getting lucky,” and I clearly have terrible luck.
Try wearing four-leaf clovers and golden horseshoes, see if it helps.
I’m not a horse, I don’t think I can wear horse shoes.
I’ve had sex with thousands, male and female, young and old, black and white, straight and gay. It helps to be really good-looking.
Which is a form of getting lucky.
Dakimakura doesn’t count.
That’s a new one on me.
I am given to understand that if one gets to A Certain Age and hasn’t had sex, but wants to, hiring a sex worker (ethically) is a good option to get over that initial discomfort and not have to put so much weight into it. As in, the pressure of also being part of a new relationship.
Virgin at 40 here. Can confirm, will die a virgin. (Intentionally. The human body is gross and I’m ashamed to have one.)
I feel like Daisy has some experience. Won’t guess on whether or not she’s a virgin but her particular brand of thirst rings of someone who knows what they’re missing out on to some extent. I compare it to someone like Becky who is also very horny, but she seems way more shy and innocent about the subject and more fantastic in her expression of desire.
Actually yeah I can see that
Definitely. I’m pretty sure she’s made comments in the past that implies it’s been a while, which implies there is a time from which the while…has been?

I’m guessing from context that Treasure Chest is some kind of smut shop? I still need to visit one of those, some day. It would have to be FAR out of town, though.
It was some form of smut shop/erotic boutique/marital aid provider, yes.
Far out of town to make sure no one recognizes you? Cuz the thing about sex shops and being seen is…anyone who runs into you, you are running into THEM as well. So either you both just treat it as normal, or if you are both embarrassed, you keep each other’s secret. They can’t tell anyone without also admitting they were at a sex shop.

I did it! DOA Archie. I even tried to copy the style a bit.
DUDE. Delightful!
Not bad…
Oh and the art is great too.
https://fromshanklin.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/92040-that-belongs-in-a-museum-gif-i-ahr4.gif
…I love it
Marvelous! You were inspired by the Robot Chicken special, weren’t you?
Nope. Yesterday Anachronistic made that comparison and I took note of it. Though funny story AS I was drawing it the Archie special came on as a rerun. It was so damn apropos that it felt like it was meant to be.
Oh my gods this is amazing.
> I even tried to copy the style a bit.
You did a great job.
Also? This is hot.
Pretty good!
Holy guacamole
Love it.
Amazing. Chapeau. Bravissimo. etc.
Doesn’t ‘chapeau’ mean ‘hat’? I’m not familiar with this French idiom for (I assume) congratulations.
Context-wise, I am guessing a tip of the hat/I take my hat off to this? Some gesture of respect.
In any case, great pic!
Your educated guess is:
√ correct
Now we’re talkin’
Impressive.
This is really cute and good wow!
That is on point. You really captured the “feel” of Archie with that.
Divine work!
Nicely done, you did a good job of capturing the characters in the Archie look. Only comment would be that “Betty” and “Veronica” should have identical bodies.
so perfect this is almost cannon…
Daisy sure knows how to make an impression.
ibs queen
As someone with IBS, I can absolutely relate with being so excited I need to poop.
I came here to say exactly that!
Alot of disaster dating going on tonight
The horror of realising you recently changed your adblocker and forgot to disable it on DoA
What the heck, you’re Hazel. *I’m* Hazel. (jk nice to meet you)
Another Hazel! I’ll confess to being a False Hazel. It’s my main pseudonym I use online. Partly for privacy reasons but also because I just find it so lovely. It’s a tree, a colour combo and it sounds dang cool.
So whether you were bestowed the name at birth or are another fan of the mix of green and brown, nice to meet you too!
FAKER
So when does the Council meet? I missed the last meeting. /s
I thought maybe you were a fan of Girls With Slingshots.
Thanks for the reminder, I turned it back on for a while (I was getting ads that blocked the comic or wrecked the page format) and forgot to turn it back on.
Yeah, I’ve had that happen too. I try and click on relevant ads to make up for it. I have no idea if that actually helps? *hapless shrug*
Ok there’s horny, and then there’s whatever black hole has opened up in Daisy’s genitals
So large her body had to compensate by getting rid of stuff.
Daisy out here epitomizing “hot mess”
Reminded that Jennifer described Daisy as “pissy, nihilistic, and desperate”… Daisy is really only showing the last part tonight. Wonder what Ruth thinks of that.
This would be like top 3 for me.
Dumbing of Age Book 11: I’m So Excited I Gotta Poop
honestly surprised the line wasnt uttered by Walky before now
Beat me to it!
A dramatic reminder that, sometimes, the difference between ‘good thing’ and ‘bad thing’ is entirely contextual.
hopefully that won’t happen again in the bedroom.
Well, probably a good idea to clean the tank out now in case you want to play in it later too.
Confirming Rassilon’s comment from earlier, it’s going to be one awkward Slipshine.
I think that this is the first time in a long time that Ruth has had someone react so spontaneously to her story.
Daisy is so sweet and natural. I really hope she and Ruth can become a stable couple♡.
*hand-holding and emotional support in the face of mental illness*

I mean, so far the only connection seems to be that Ruth was promised sex and Daisy’s desperate? Maybe others are seeing something I’m not.
Mind you, good relationships have started with less. Or worse.
Daisy asked Ruth about herself. Ruth felt comfortable enough to open up and be vulnerable. Daisy’s response was sympathy via light physical contact. It’s one of the healthier relationships we’ve seen so far.
So far it seems like Daisy’s capable of giving Ruth the positive support she needs and the pushback she wants. It remains to be seen how Daisy’s self-confidence deficiency will interfere with that dynamic.
(They’re also both cute AF. That never hurts.)
Panel three: As close as we’re getting to a cat smile from Ruth. Enjoy it, folks.
bah, there have been worse first dates I’m sure
I looked today page, but I didn’t read it: I thougth Ruth just ruined the date.

Some things are their own punishment.
Just realized I had a wrong image of Ruth all the time:
Didn’t know ‘bowels’, so had to look that one up, which made me realize that Ruth didn’t actually threaten to disembowel people on a regular basis. Apparently I never bothered to look up ‘femurs’ before and came up with a context based ‘translation’ instead.
Kind of prefer my head canon to the truth
Femurs are located in the lower intestine? ;P
Sometimes!Though usually that raises some legal and ethical questions.
I think that’s Daisy’s way of saying, “Sure, I suppose we could ‘do’ something, If you want”.
Or maybe “Yes! I’ll have sex with you”.
Or “Please do me”.
One of those three.
Oh girls. (HUGE long distance virtual hugs)
Daisy really reminds me of Joyce at her most catastrophically awkward….
Honestly? I’ve had way worse first dates than this. The amount of times I’ve had to bail in-person after days/weeks of talking is ridiculous. From the girl who mocked her last boyfriend who couldn’t handle her free spirit (she cheated on him), to the girl who laughed at our waitress (a girl she had bullied in middle school), to the secretly racist/homophobic/etc. Being so excited to be there that they could poop is almost charming, in comparison.
I’ve had way worse first dates than this. The amount of times I’ve had to bail
Bail? I was expecting you calling a bondsman at the hoosegow on behalf of some dates. I’m relieved that’s not the case.
Also that “how someone treats the waitstaff is a good indicator”, example umpteen+1.
OMG DAISY hahaha
The parallels between Walky and Daisy as dates are readily becoming apparent in a weird way…
