I refuse to listen to any music on New Year’s that isn’t an off-key rendition of Auld Lang Syne that keeps going long past the point where the singers know or agree on the lyrics.
i feel like i’d either fidget with it too much or need to tie it loosely or it’d come off even if teaching doesn’t require as much ‘walking around’ in classtime lol
guess it depends on the skin tone tho it does stick out a bit more with robin’s flirty face/eyes lol. tho i have fairly pale skin so unless i’m worn out/sweaty i don’t think m yface ever looks flushed unless i also get tipsy or so lol
other than the mild cleavage (that shouldn’t be inherently sexual to begin with), i’d think it’d be fine without any kinda tie to begin with, i’d assume the profs don’t have too strict a dress code
I never went to a college but i can imagine seeing a prof show up in sweatpants and some snarky printed T that a young adult/teen would wear and think “Yeah that seems about right”
Jeans and a t-shirt were not uncommon for my professors. I don’t immediately recall sweatpants, but they weren’t really all that popular anyway.
I think I may have had one or two professors who wore ties on a regular basis, it was uncommon.
Bear in mind that the day before yesterday Leslie commented on Robin no longer wearing the “bowtied professor” look, and almost immediately it’s back. So.
If New Years is daunting for anyone here, this is just a reminder that it’s okay to take it one day at a time, one minute at a time if you have to. The turn of the year can be overwhelming, but I hope 2023 is a positive experience for us all.
I’m listening to the full Bible straight through as an audiobook. I’ve read it before but never all the books in order. Kinda need a refresher these days, you know? It’s been too long.
Been reading Minna Sundberg’s work and found it inspiring.
My library has “Inspired by… the Bible Experience,” which is pretty epic. Kind of like a Star Wars movie or a long orchestral / spoken-word concept album. So it’s a bit more accessible. Kind of like eating brownie bites with walnuts and bits of prunes in them.
(I read the Bible mostly to queer it, and as an index to the turns of phrase in western literature, but it’s good to re-read the classics just to have them in mind.)
I’m surprised Leslie and Robin aren’t dating. After all, trashing a Republican campaign in Indiana and electing a Democrat is the kind of grand romantic gesture you’d think she’d be all over.
Trashing a Republican campaign might be a nice gesture for Leslie, but it’s somewhat soured by the fact that Robin was the Republican in question and has a history of rhetoric and voting record to match. One good deed can only go so far to make up for that.
I just realized I misread what Robin said. I thought she said “I’m open for business”. ie a not subtle hint at Leslie to reach inside there like a cookie jar.
This brings to mind the bit in Disco Elysium where you can get Harry to nod his head for like twenty minutes until his neck makes a sound that “echoes across the city”. Has Robin maybe been drinking so heavily for so long it’s made her joints go bad?
Thinking about Watsonian explanations for plot setup on joke day.
1) The reason Jason’s advisor seems non-existent is because they are a terrible advisor, probably out of the country most of the time and never checking in. An advisor who was present would be aware of the accusations, and Jason quitting his TA job. An advisor who was doing their job would know Jason was on a work visa instead of a student visa.
2) Jason has a work visa instead of a student visa because US immigration is byzantine, and for some reason he was unable to get a student visa, but he got a work visa as a work-around.
—
Robin will end up hiring him as a “research” assistant, and his duties will be to wear a tailed tuxedo and butle for her.
It’s so much easier to get a student visa than a work visa, especially for someone coming from a G7 country like the UK. I’ve been assuming it’s a student visa and he has no money but can only work 20hrs/week on campus. Like he’s not literally going to be deported until a grace period after he’s unable to pay his tuition and fees (which might trigger the student visa to fail).
A university will do the work visa for a professor but no way does that make sense for a math grad student.
LOL. It’s like that South Park episode where all the realtors crack their spines trying to lean the right way for their photos in order to compete with Cartman.
Happy New Year everyone! May this be the first year of the decade where if we wake up in the morning and see Godzilla outside rampaging we’ll actually be surprised and not just go back to our breakfast!
Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.
"You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies
It's #webcomicday? We have a special day???
Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

guess she’s not Owl DeSanto
Whoooo?
I dunno, but panel 5 is channeling Jennifer.
No, it’s a owl joke
A real hoot
Sounds like she bent her wookie.
Owl be the judge of that.
Happy New Year East Coast!
Cheers!
Cheers! *sips Cherry Kool-Aid*
Happy New Year Central Time Zone.
🥳
Here’s to another interesting new year of the future that never was!
Good as an excuse as any for fireworks, champagne, anime marathons or however else you wanna celebrate!
*plays “Ride on Shooting Star” by the Pillows” on hacked muzak*
I refuse to listen to any music on New Year’s that isn’t an off-key rendition of Auld Lang Syne that keeps going long past the point where the singers know or agree on the lyrics.
I heard and saw a rendition last night by a choir and orchestra, and it just kept going and going and GOING …
I am once again staying up past midnight … to study for my last college final. I can’t afford to drop the ball with this. (get it?)
Are you marathoning an anime, if so which one?
FLCL 🤩 It’s why I chose that song LOL
I’m binge reading Komi Can’t Communicate. It’s oddly cute and funny.
Robin’s over 30. This just proved she’s over 30.
I felt this statement in my spine.
Thing is, I’m under 30 but my back is ahead of the curve.
I’m over 30 but my back started off in such bad shape that I’m still improving it?
(“oh hey, look, another muscle I didn’t know I was supposed to have!” – me, about once per year)
That’s great that you are improving it! Good for you!
My 25-ish year old neck would beg to differ!
just remembered I as a COLLEGE FRESHMAN could crack my neck on command
How dare you and where’s my ibuprofen.
(ha ha, this is a joke because I know exactly where my ibuprofen is)
Ibuprofen: it’s Band-Aids for your insides!
I like the untied bow-tie around her neck, implying that she honestly assumed she could just wing it.
i feel like i’d either fidget with it too much or need to tie it loosely or it’d come off even if teaching doesn’t require as much ‘walking around’ in classtime lol
Thanks Robin.
She never ceases to provide her constituents and students with … something. I’m not exactly sure what, but its definitely something.
Fun fact: The very real novel “Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery” by Andrew Shaffer’s acknowledgements read simply “Thanks Obama”
When someone says “The very real novel” I don’t expect to actually find the novel exists.
wouldn’t her neck hurt first? but lol tbh those ‘blush’ marks look more like facepaint but i’d assume they’re being flirty lol
Those blush marks are just a thing. Many (most?) characters have them at almost all times, no matter how flirty they’re being.
guess it depends on the skin tone tho it does stick out a bit more with robin’s flirty face/eyes lol. tho i have fairly pale skin so unless i’m worn out/sweaty i don’t think m yface ever looks flushed unless i also get tipsy or so lol
It is, for example, the key distinguishing trait between Amber and Amazi-Girl.
I mean, the neck… includes part of the spine
I mean, I dig it, but maybe she should get a bolo tie if she can’t tie a tie.
other than the mild cleavage (that shouldn’t be inherently sexual to begin with), i’d think it’d be fine without any kinda tie to begin with, i’d assume the profs don’t have too strict a dress code
I never went to a college but i can imagine seeing a prof show up in sweatpants and some snarky printed T that a young adult/teen would wear and think “Yeah that seems about right”
Décolletage is always sexy, and why shouldn’t it be?
Selah!
Universities don’t have dress codes. Except “Liberty” “University” and the like.
Jeans and a t-shirt were not uncommon for my professors. I don’t immediately recall sweatpants, but they weren’t really all that popular anyway.
I think I may have had one or two professors who wore ties on a regular basis, it was uncommon.

Or go back to the gimmick spinning bow tie she had earlier.
Thats why you tie the bow tie, it keeps your spine in place Robin.
Happy New Year, you infernal spooks. [toasts with his vodka gimlet]
Oh, um, hi, Robin
And that’s why Robin ultimately didn’t make it as a politician. In spite of appearances, it turns out she had a spine.
Lol thanks for that
If New Years is daunting for anyone here, this is just a reminder that it’s okay to take it one day at a time, one minute at a time if you have to. The turn of the year can be overwhelming, but I hope 2023 is a positive experience for us all.
That’s good. And I hope so too.
Here’s hoping Ruth collects twice the femers she collected in 2022.
Thank you.
rip robin
Fireworks? Nah, we have Robin’s skeletal structure.
I can see why Leslie said that in Panel 4, Robin’s channeled Jennifer-middled JoyceKarma can hit pretty fast
Anyone here have any New Years plans and/or resolutions they wanna share?
I’m planning to clean up my bedroom a bit, take some things to storage. And put as many posters on the walls as is physically possible.
I’m going to educate myself about quantum computing circuits.
Sure, I’ll update you as I go.
Yo me too
I’m planning get the rest of my stuff out of storage, and save on the rental. Already got maybe 50% out in six months.
Gonna restart my diet so I can fit into my goth clothes again T_T Also exercising and eating well is good for you health and shit, I guess.
Get myself below the cutoff weight for grs (just a handful of pounds left!) and start the consultation process with Mt Sunai
I resolved to survive until dawn.
I succeeded!
I am going to somehow acquire a banjo and try to learn to play it.
I’m planning to exercise, despite the cold. I’ve been slacking this winter. Don’t want to let my desk job* kill me.
Not actually at a desk. Just sitting on my laptop at work wherever I fit.
I’m listening to the full Bible straight through as an audiobook. I’ve read it before but never all the books in order. Kinda need a refresher these days, you know? It’s been too long.

My library has “Inspired by… the Bible Experience,” which is pretty epic. Kind of like a Star Wars movie or a long orchestral / spoken-word concept album. So it’s a bit more accessible. Kind of like eating brownie bites with walnuts and bits of prunes in them.
I mean the local public library.
And that was the last we heard from DoA Robin. She was largely unmissed.
Robin has surprisingly little game.
Real talk tho; stiff necks are the worst.
I’m surprised Leslie and Robin aren’t dating. After all, trashing a Republican campaign in Indiana and electing a Democrat is the kind of grand romantic gesture you’d think she’d be all over.
I get strong Marion Ravenwood vibes from Robin in this outfit. Which I believe is thing that works for Leslie.
(Replying here because you said Indiana.)
I’ve lost track. Did Leslie’s thing with Anna the dental hygienist go anywhere?
Leslie talks about having a girlfriend in the present tense here – https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/03-see-you-in-the-funny-page/relevant/
Presumably that means Anna, although I guess we can’t discount the possibility that she got a new different girlfriend over the timeskip.
Trashing a Republican campaign might be a nice gesture for Leslie, but it’s somewhat soured by the fact that Robin was the Republican in question and has a history of rhetoric and voting record to match. One good deed can only go so far to make up for that.
Also soured by several days of home invasion.
Ugg, I still pretty much hate Robin. I really hope Leslie never dates her. She can do so much better.
AH ROBIN, NO. YOUR NECK!
She really does better in a world with cartoon physics!-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h1MO4XchZt8
Well, the “or am I” would def work on me.
Damn you, Robin.
She had me at “See,”
Credit where credit’s due, achieving that level of sexy coyness is backbreaking work.
Robin’s hot…
Yeah! Her lesbian energy alone is enough to penetrate the 4th wall
I thought Robin was hot before it was cool….
agreed! But is this The Hottest She’s Been (thus far)?
Easily in the top 5.
Congratulations to Robin for being the cause of my first GAWDDAYUM of 2023
Damn, I hate being late to a comic this HORNY.
So let me give a belated HOT DAMN DESANTO.
The first comic of the year is in the horny.
In this way, I believe it will be a spicy year for us.
Yeah, that’s… wow.
But it’s also Robin.
But also, wow.
But also, Robin…
I just realized I misread what Robin said. I thought she said “I’m open for business”. ie a not subtle hint at Leslie to reach inside there like a cookie jar.
It’s Robin, she’d be thrusting her chest at Leslie in that case.
OOOOR AAAAAAAM….? *let the bodies hit the floor*
+1
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! <3
Getting old’s a bongo, eh, Robin?
My neck! My back!
My weiner and my sack!
I think Leslie is annoyed because despite knowing that Robin is wrong, she still manages to cause her an effect, unwanted.
…I think she is here for business
This brings to mind the bit in Disco Elysium where you can get Harry to nod his head for like twenty minutes until his neck makes a sound that “echoes across the city”. Has Robin maybe been drinking so heavily for so long it’s made her joints go bad?
You’re gettin’ old Robin, I can go further than that.
happy new year everyone !!! excited for another year of DOA !!

Yeah, but it has recently been referred to in-comic as a work visa by both Ruth and Jason.
Like I said, I’ve been assuming that’s shorthand for a student visa where he can only work on campus but he needs money and not a literal work visa.
That’s the only thing that makes sense (because I refuse to believe that there would be anything unrealistic in this comic…)
To be fair, it being shorthand like that doesn’t make sense either.
In that he needs to work to keep his student visa.
LOL. It’s like that South Park episode where all the realtors crack their spines trying to lean the right way for their photos in order to compete with Cartman.
Happy New Year everyone! May this be the first year of the decade where if we wake up in the morning and see Godzilla outside rampaging we’ll actually be surprised and not just go back to our breakfast!
