      What amuses me is that people yesterday in the comments were worried about being horny for Dina.

      Here we (once again) have proof that Dina is not just lewding herself but doing so in the most scientifically effective way possible. She’s accentuating the curve buttocks, people! What more do you need?!

            I was asking Rose if she did so, given her inferred methodical approach to sex.

              I’m not sure if I described it as copious notation, but I have been known to write about encounters afterwards to help me remember details.

              I have also been known to pull up porn videos and take notes on positioning while working on sex scenes. Not sure which you were referring to.

                Originally I was referring to the methodical approach you had to sex that made you a “horny Dina in college”. But both of those sound really fascinating!!! 😁

          It’s such a shame that their numbers continue to shrink. In no small part due to over-hunting and pollution.

            Part of the problem is that their habitat is being taken over by vervet monkeys carried across the Atlantic attached to the hulls of ships.

            Are there water parks open in Indiana during winter time?

            What about hot springs?

      No, but the munky is a co-conspirator in Danny’s diabolical plan to kill Ruth. He used a trukk last time around, so it’s the done thing.

          I think he lost his license for a bit and spent a night in jail. Does doing something that makes someone else heroically sacrifice themselves and get killed by a separate, third party give you a by?

            Mario’s body glistened with sweat from his full-speed run. He opened his chiseled jaw wide and firmly pushed a mushroom deep into his mouth. He swallowed it hole without missing a step. He grew in both size and power. As he made a pixel-perfect jump, his overalls tightened around his ample buttocks.

      we know there’s more depth to her, but a lot of ‘fandom/fangirls’ are kinda like that, drooling over ‘hot’ gay couples but not really caring about lesbians (tho being coached on how to seduce someone would be an amusing arc for them)

          You just seem to hit each character’s spot. She’s the right amount of lewd for her.

      Also only just saw that. Nicely done. I’m now trying to decide whether it’s more likely she’s doing this in front of Becky, and the last two panels are her trying to get a reaction out of her, not realizing that she’s completely paralysed, or whether this is a scientific test in front of the mirror.

    Well at least Dina knows what she is doing; the same can’t be said of the other 95% of the cast.

    Dina accentuating her figure makes me realize that Becky might just cave in and have sexy time with Dina. No one will be disappointed if this happens.

          a) She ain’t dead yet unless she died since last Thursday.
          b) She was pretty much out since the ’70s and “made bold moves into the political arena on feminist issues and went on to serve as the first openly gay member of the California State Assembly (6 years) and Senate (8 years).”

    I’m impressed and kind of turned on by Dina’s scientific seduction methods; casually referring to “the curve of my buttocks” is the hottest thing I’ve seen in the comic outside of its porn side stories. But I’m kind of wondering why she would think of bonobos; like, does she not realize most humans are attracted to buttocks too? I mean obviously she does, but she’s saying it like it’s a tricky secret weapon she figured out (“the secret weapon is my buttocks; my fundament, if you will. Tush, even”) and that is adorable

      When female primates are ready to mate, their buttocks enlarge and turn red, and they stand in front of the male and present their rears to him (because male primates can’t take a hint, so they have to be really obvious). To be more effective, the hoodie should have been red, but it’s obvious this wasn’t something she had planned. Not unexpectedly, Dina is oblivious to the fact that Becky was completely distracted by Dina’s bare shoulders, and never even glanced at her cute butt.

        That last line is what I found MOST amusing about Dina’s theorycrafting. It was logically perfect in EVERY way… Except that Becky is apparently not into butts (yet? She hasn’t seen Dina’s butt yet after all).

            And she knows from the hat fetish that covering something up is what gets Becky’s attention. She just didn’t consider that in accentuating her buttocks by masking them, she would be uncovering something else that she generally keeps covered, and that that might have its own effect.

            We know from a Slipshine that Dina considers mammalian mating rituals to be odd, though she had read somewhere that some men are attracted to large posteriors, but it wouldn’t surprise me if she binged on nature documentaries to find out everything she could about them after falling for Becky, with the idea of porn (thankfully) or fanfic (despite it being readily accessible to her) never even crossing her mind as a research possibility (unlike Joyce).

        A red hoodie…I really don’t think the human obsession with butts is that literally descended from other primates’ rituals without any modification. That may have been the origin but a red hoodie is not gonna help with modern seduction. (Though I do wonder if, uh, that’s part of the appeal of spanking to some people; most non-melanin-heavy butts turn red when you whack them and all; falls apart for anyone into that INSTEAD of sex though.)

    Dina, next time you want your girlfriend to pay attention to your places of sexual interest, you can do it with simple, effective, honest verbal communication. But you should be mindful of her religious beliefs, and the moral code that this implies.

    Therefore, learn this useful sentence:
    “Oh my God, Becky, look at my butt!”

    • Spencer
      Spencer
      February 6, 2022 at 12:08 pm | #

      She has actually done this. She’s made it explicitly, verbally clear that she wants to have sex with Becky at a time when Becky is comfortable doing so, and then attempted to verbally act all hot and bothered for Becky’s sake when Becky was guilting herself about how she can’t have sex with Dina until marriage, but also she feels bad because Dina doesn’t think she’s hot (she does, the problem is that Becky wants a girlfriend who lavishes her with praise for being attractive and express how much she wants to bang her silly, but then never actually does so).

      It’s a whole big thing, it’s defined their relationship for, like, two years now.
