It hurts to suggest this, but perhaps it’s because having a lot of spikes is a better survival strategy than putting some really big holes in your shield.
The phrase “no notes” is originally a showbusiness term. In its original context, “notes” mean brief editorial critiques on how a piece of work can be improved. Praising the work isn’t a “note” in this sense, and “no notes” indicates that you have no ideas for improving it, not that you are making no comments at all. Hope that helps.
(If they come at you with pedantry, you come at them with even more pedantry…)
Do people really talk this much about their religious status? Like it’s their whole identity. I’d much rather know what music you like, or if you’ve played any good video games that flew under the radar.
For some people that is their whole identity. And it wasn’t that long ago (in comic time not our time) that being a fundamentalist Christian pretty much was her whole identity for as long as she could remember. It’s not a surprise for someone like that who becomes an atheist to make atheism their whole identity, at least for a while.
Some people talk about it so much, they’re willing to murder anyone who talks about anything else. An 18-year-old figuring out their identity is not representative of “people” at any scale beyond their own life.
so if i told you that you argue just like donald trump, you might be irritated but it wouldn’t be because it was accurate. your irritation (if any) would hinge on the fact ive taken a superficial similarity- using garbage “both sides” assertions to try to support a specious point- and exaggerated it to the point of being slander.
The thing is that many atheists just switched what they believe in but kept the mental patterns and behaviour. They are Fundies but for Anti-Religion and that’s just kinda annoying. Like if you abandoned religion then why are you spending every waking moment obsessing over it so much?
That’s definitely part of it, but it’s not just that. Many also go through an “I’m so smart, skeptical and rational that I figured this out and thus I must be completely right about all of it and many other things too.”
Similar to Joyce’s shift from “But I’ve learned I’m usually wrong” to “I’ve now got everything important figured out, here at the end of my life.” But often more so.
One thing that often happens is that they treat all religious people as fundamentalist Christians and get upset with those that don’t fit the role. Thinking that all religions are cults because theirs was. Or all religious people hate LGBTQ folks. Or should. Or that they should all be literalists.
Yeah what thejeff said. It’s less about people who were genuinely victimized by religious groups and more the teenagers and young adults whose act of rebellion is to shit all over people who never really hurt them, while acting like they are morally and intellectually superior to them.
Well, I do personally feel that bringing a child up in any faith is morally highly questionable. An adult finding religion is their business, but claiming the supernatural is real to a child sets them up with an illogical world view many never escape. It’s even worse to claim your religion is correct and true, and every other one is just a silly superstition. Jesus definitely came back from the dead, but Mohammed ascending to heaven on a flying horse is just a story, and so forth.
And people can definitely discuss these things without being condescending assholes who thinks they have all the answers in the world, that’s what this is about.
And let’s be fair. This isn’t about supernatural. It’s about a framework to live by, every person needs one if they want to live a stable fulfilling life. It’s no different than raising a child in say, an atheistic view of the world. What you impart is values and moral rules.
Religion did not just magically Manifest out of thin air. It’s a product of probably tens of thousands years of civilizational development and wisdom gathered by countless generations. It guided those people and it did Something right because their descendants survived, thrived and created the modern civilization.
Remember that the modern equality movements Are born of Christian beliefs of all being equal before God and that you need to be kind to others. Just because you disagree with the supernatural part of it doesn’t mean you can just throw the whole thing away.
I’m not as harsh on religion as some, but it’s a bit much to claim modern equality movements are born of Christian beliefs. While certainly some have used such arguments as motivation, Christianity on the whole has opposed such movements at least as much as promoted them. And such movements basically didn’t exist for long centuries of Christian dominance in Europe. It was the Enlightenment break with religion and later increasing secularization that really drove those changes.
Ah to clarify my statement. I was referring to the fact that Christianity created a foundation for these movements. Kind of like when you have a tech-tree, first was Christianity with ideas of equality and kindness and then next on the tech tree were ideas that built up on those foundations.
No, we just get endlessly annoyed that theists define disbelief as a form of faith. Atheism is a faith like baldness is a hair color and not collecting stamps is a hobby. I hope she isn’t getting religious again, she really makes the comic for me.
yeah, why would anyone talk about centuries old systems of thought on which entire world systems are built. lets talk about something deep and interesting like brat summer
If a Buddhist doesn’t believe in gods/spirits, they’re an atheist. Perhaps not the kind of atheist we are most familiar with, but still a kind of atheist.
Strictly speaking, the Abrahamic God is also not named God. We explicitly do not call them by their real name because it is too holy to be spoken, but they are also known as YHWH, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or He Who Makes That Which Has Been Made, or He Who Is.
When I was just a little Jewish kid who asked a lotta questions, my father told me that one of the oldest spiritual traditions is the idea that Naming Calls. You don’t say His name out of respect, sure…but you also don’t say it because He might hear you and show up, which…probably wouldn’t go great given His history of the type of stuff He does when He shows up.
Anyway I am still tickled by the idea that God follows Beetlejuice rules.
Keeping in mind that Becky and Dina’s first date was the two of them holding hands while looking at dinosaurs on the computer (or like, one of their first dates), I think it’s just a joke that Becky’s worried that Dina being hand in hand with someone while talking about dinosaurs is like… emotional cheating or something?
I assume by “chapters” you mean “strips,” but I’m also amusing myself by imagining they walked into a safe chapters ago an have just been chilling there ever since. Been there since February our time. People in-universe are just starting to notice.
Being a lesbian raised by a fucker like the Toe that Walks and crushing on your straight(ish) best friend for most of your life will do that to a lady.
Now I’m trying to imagine an insecurity competition between all the most blatantly insecure cast members.
Just gonna go ahead and invite Becky, Jennifer, Joe, Sal, Amber, Dorothy, and Joyce to an unnamed competition with an unspecified but presumably valuable prize, then tell them that if they all wait for 5 minutes in the same room together, they will ALL be winners. Then, sit back and wait to see in what order they break, and how spectacularly they do so. WHO WOULD WIN?!? YOU decide!
wouldn’t be surprised if becky also thought charlie was ‘awesome’ even if i don’t think they really befriended each other but them all being in leslie’s class and seeing carla vie for her attention so badly i think a few ppl would be concerned that their girlfriend is walking hand in hand with another girl
(the only reason robin isn’t more insecure is b/c she does things by instinct without thinking/runs on dumbass powered actions 8D;)
Sorry, too distracted by the fact that Joyce has no problem saying fuck but still says b-hole (can’t even manage butt hole) to take in the rest of the comic.
Meanwhile, I didn’t even process it until I went ahead and looked up xkcd 75.
It does kind of make sense in that she’s enjoying her new found fucking abilities (yes) and that she is trying to intensify it in someway, but also she doesn’t really consider Sarah an asshole, or even a butthole, and b-hole is probably about where she’s more often at.
Look, Becky, this isn’t that bad. Dina walking somewhere holding hands with Charlie isn’t so big of a problem. Things won’t truly be messed up unless you find them dancing together.
Yes, Carla’s a rock. There’s no conspicuous performance for attention to cover up any insecurity she might have. None at all. Just perfection incarnate. In fact, Joyce might have to check to see if Carla’s the one and true savior if Jesus ends having been a red herring.
Could be b u n g hole(spaced out in case there’s a filter in teh comments for that word lol) tho i don’t think joyce is old enough to rly hear that term being used commonly anymore (even tho that’s a technical term on a barrle)
talking about dinosaurs, holding hands, AND they’re gonna get arrested together for breaking into a bank vault which is like lefty lesbian hall of fame shit
“you’ve undumped walky” …Did she? i ahve the worst memory
I mean, i guess for someone like Dina, hand holding is a bigger thing (just like the ‘lewd handholding’ JP manga 8D), although i’m sure dina will explain. or they’ll end up in some polycule. if not just getting a bunch of valuables from the vault they infiltrated
imagine, instead of keeping your partner from gawking at other people, having to keep them from hearing others talk about Lokiceratops rangiformis
Why is it whenever a cool new Ceratopsian is found it’s always a Centrosaur. When are we going to find some cool weird Chasmosaur?
Cause no one’s looking in chasms for dinosaurs anymore
There’s a distinct lack of people willing to Chas it up and nobody is talking about it
This is the best YuGiOh joke I’ve read in years. Good job.
Rex Raptor x Chazz fanfic plays on hacked muzak
I never could find enough candies to evolve my Chasmosaur
It hurts to suggest this, but perhaps it’s because having a lot of spikes is a better survival strategy than putting some really big holes in your shield.
Maybe it wasn’t a shield — it could’ve been for dissipating heat, or for being extremely stylish.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/04-walking-with-dina/edmontosaurus/
Talking about dinosaurs?!
They’re not even on their third date!
No no that’s diner sores, dinosaurs are good for a second date
Holding hands, taking about dinosaurs… you know.
INTIMACY
That’s a very good bit of Joyce dialogue in the second panel, no notes.
I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.
Joyce: Comfortable to drop “fucking” even for unnecessary emphasis now.
Also Joyce: Can’t say the word “butt”, let alone “ass”.
Your note was “That’s a very good bit of Joyce dialogue in the second panel.” So… yes notes.
The phrase “no notes” is originally a showbusiness term. In its original context, “notes” mean brief editorial critiques on how a piece of work can be improved. Praising the work isn’t a “note” in this sense, and “no notes” indicates that you have no ideas for improving it, not that you are making no comments at all. Hope that helps.
(If they come at you with pedantry, you come at them with even more pedantry…)
Or shovel the BS with a backhoe. or an excavator formerly known as a steamshovel.
A CHALLENGER APPEARS
Is she an atheist?
Maybe she’s something else that doesn’t believe in God.
Joyce: THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS?
Do people really talk this much about their religious status? Like it’s their whole identity. I’d much rather know what music you like, or if you’ve played any good video games that flew under the radar.
For some people that is their whole identity. And it wasn’t that long ago (in comic time not our time) that being a fundamentalist Christian pretty much was her whole identity for as long as she could remember. It’s not a surprise for someone like that who becomes an atheist to make atheism their whole identity, at least for a while.
Exactly, and let’s hope that now they put a definitive stop to Joyce in that regard.
At least her totalitarian evangelical phase was brief.
For
somefar too many people.Some people talk about it so much, they’re willing to murder anyone who talks about anything else. An 18-year-old figuring out their identity is not representative of “people” at any scale beyond their own life.
there are people who define themselves as strongly by their atheism as some do by their faith.
The former tends to get pissed when you point out the similarity. Which makes doing it doubly fun.
so if i told you that you argue just like donald trump, you might be irritated but it wouldn’t be because it was accurate. your irritation (if any) would hinge on the fact ive taken a superficial similarity- using garbage “both sides” assertions to try to support a specious point- and exaggerated it to the point of being slander.
The thing is that many atheists just switched what they believe in but kept the mental patterns and behaviour. They are Fundies but for Anti-Religion and that’s just kinda annoying. Like if you abandoned religion then why are you spending every waking moment obsessing over it so much?
If you feel you’ve been raised in a cult and brainwashed, I can understand feeling some way about it upon waking up.
That’s definitely part of it, but it’s not just that. Many also go through an “I’m so smart, skeptical and rational that I figured this out and thus I must be completely right about all of it and many other things too.”
Similar to Joyce’s shift from “But I’ve learned I’m usually wrong” to “I’ve now got everything important figured out, here at the end of my life.” But often more so.

The bratwurst was good this summer.
This /is/ also a cartoon. People’re gonna be silly and act in somewhat exaggerated ways.
there’s all kinds of theists that don’t believe a god named God exists.
There’s a lot of theists who don’t believe in gods technically, depending on what flavor of Buddhism is your ice cream.
If a Buddhist doesn’t believe in gods/spirits, they’re an atheist. Perhaps not the kind of atheist we are most familiar with, but still a kind of atheist.
If they don’t believe in gods they’re not theists — atheistic buddhism exists.
They are, however, religious and believe in supernatural phenomenon.
As well as a spiritual side to reality.
Note that Buddhists find the Western category of atheism derivative and eye-roilling too.
Strictly speaking, the Abrahamic God is also not named God. We explicitly do not call them by their real name because it is too holy to be spoken, but they are also known as YHWH, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or He Who Makes That Which Has Been Made, or He Who Is.

Names have power.
“Beware what you name a thing.”
As attested by a friend of mine who named a kitten Loki.
Similar to what happened when the kids named their kitten after the cat on Smurfs, who was named after a demon/avenging angel. Azrael.
I liked your anecdote a lot Wise Old Guru. Thank you for sharing.
maybe she’ll be ‘agnostic’ in the long run but given everything that happened i wouldn’t be surprised if she’s overly compensating
Is that a bad thing? Talking about dinosaurs that is. I don’t understand the distress at that.
Keeping in mind that Becky and Dina’s first date was the two of them holding hands while looking at dinosaurs on the computer (or like, one of their first dates), I think it’s just a joke that Becky’s worried that Dina being hand in hand with someone while talking about dinosaurs is like… emotional cheating or something?
It’s that combined with the hand-in-hand. Becky’s worried it’s gonna get or is flirty– they’re talking about dinosaurs, after all.
In Becky’s experience, talking about dinosaurs is HOW you flirt.
And yes, she is def totes jealous. She’s jellin’ like Magellan. She so jelly, you can call her PB.
Becky fear Dina leave her for someone who is as into dinosaurs az hed (it seems). It’s not a rational fear but they seldom are.
Oh, it’s jealousy. I was reading it as if somehow they were in peril. I guess Becky is.
Not so much jealousy, just anxiety.
With their powers combined, discussing dinosaurs could lead to them wandering into the Mesozoic Era.
I mean, they did walk into a safe a few chapters ago.
I assume by “chapters” you mean “strips,” but I’m also amusing myself by imagining they walked into a safe chapters ago an have just been chilling there ever since. Been there since February our time. People in-universe are just starting to notice.
Weren’t you ever taught about the Theropods and the Hymenoptera?
When I strained my Hymenoptera, applying Theropods at night brought Instant Relief.
Instant Relief is my favorite Saurian.
“Talking about dinosaurs” is a sapphic dogwhistle that really means “having anal sex near a boat”.
That’s completely old-school. Wearing a T-Rex jawbone on you belt loop is the new Sapphic dogwhistle.
To me, all T-Rex’s are named Sue.
Is it time for a Becky red panel yet?
Cute interaction so far. Hope Joyce doesn’t accidentally make it weird about Carla!
“You got Charlie in my Dina!”
“You got Dina in my Charlie!”
Weird dialog at the orgy.
Hey, we’re not at a slipshine for the two of them yet.
“Ya got a friend in me…”
“She gave me a Woody. She remembered that he’s my favorite character from Toy Story.”
Take my Imaginary upvote!
Becky it’s OK there’s nothing to be worried about….OK maybe you should be worried God knows where they are now and if you’ll ever see her again.
I mean all they gotta do is talk shit about dinosaurs and the dinosaur empress herself will home in on her prey’s exact location!
For that Dina gotz more precision than Instant Transmission! XD
Becky saying “My favorite dinosaur is the pterodactyl!” should be enough to summon Dina. Of course, it’d also cause a breakup.
Nahh, just have Carla say her favorite is that fake Tyrranid from the Jurassic Park movies. Dina will do her KoolAid Man impression to be there.
Carla, I can see her being convinced enough of her own awesomess to just think they’ve gotten lost together and need to be found.
Becky though? Might think they left together-together. Under all the bravado she’s pretty insecure.
Honestly, deep down, I think Becky is secretly the single most insecure character.
Amber could give her a run for her money.
Insecurity and self-loathing are related but not quite the same.
Being a lesbian raised by a fucker like the Toe that Walks and crushing on your straight(ish) best friend for most of your life will do that to a lady.
Now I’m trying to imagine an insecurity competition between all the most blatantly insecure cast members.
Just gonna go ahead and invite Becky, Jennifer, Joe, Sal, Amber, Dorothy, and Joyce to an unnamed competition with an unspecified but presumably valuable prize, then tell them that if they all wait for 5 minutes in the same room together, they will ALL be winners. Then, sit back and wait to see in what order they break, and how spectacularly they do so. WHO WOULD WIN?!? YOU decide!
“I’m really not good enough to be in this competition.”
wouldn’t be surprised if becky also thought charlie was ‘awesome’ even if i don’t think they really befriended each other but them all being in leslie’s class and seeing carla vie for her attention so badly i think a few ppl would be concerned that their girlfriend is walking hand in hand with another girl
(the only reason robin isn’t more insecure is b/c she does things by instinct without thinking/runs on dumbass powered actions 8D;)
Ain’t gotta worry Becky they probs just chillin’
teleportin’ to bank vaults like a frickin super villain XD
It’s a lost cause… Becky, hook up with Carla. Redheads unite.
Lapsed, or needs further deconstructing? Who knows with Joyce
Becky is fine dating a grey-ace like Dina, but I think a sex-repulsed ace like Carla would work badly for both. Just for starters.
8-0
The one thing that might be able to cause either of these relationships to end. Special interests are powerful things.
Just talk about how Dimetrodons are the best dinosaurs, followed by pterodactyls and Plesiosaurs. Wait, Megatheria are the best, I forgot about them.
Megatheria is a cool planet and you should visit if you ever get the chance.
But watch out for falling whales.
And petunias.
So now we know that lesbian panic is when your girlfriend ends up going somewhere with another woman.
Random aside-I have to wonder if Ethan introduced Dina to the Dinobots, what would she think of them?
The answer may surprise you. Or not.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2018/comic/book-8/04-of-mike-and-men/velociraptor/
Joyce, you are not reverting back to the religion that outright said your friends lives are unimportant.
That is your moral superiority talking.
Ha, and it had not been manifested for a long time
Or it’s a joke and not nearly so dire.
What the fuck is a jowk
A dinosaur that died out in the 80’s.
I think a joek is a kind of lizard? Or it’s a baby kangaroo.
I found escaping Christianity had some back-and-forth. Maybe it could be redeemed by taking out the dumb and harmful parts?
(Removes dumb and harmful parts to see what’s left)
Oh. Everything that’s left also exists in secular ethics. But this was not like flipping a switch.
xkcd 75.
Also appropriate, for at least the past two strips (and some of the commentary under them), and just Joyce in general right now: xkcd 774.
Check it out, if you pause the comic you can pinpoint the EXACT second Becky’s heart rips in half
We need one of those X-Ray frames like in the Grinch.
It’s just before Becky gets the Joyce-face in the last panel.
Joyce dropping a Fuck and then self-censoring Butthole is funnier than it should be.
Sorry, too distracted by the fact that Joyce has no problem saying fuck but still says b-hole (can’t even manage butt hole) to take in the rest of the comic.
It’s a really good gag.
Meanwhile, I didn’t even process it until I went ahead and looked up xkcd 75.
It does kind of make sense in that she’s enjoying her new found fucking abilities (yes) and that she is trying to intensify it in someway, but also she doesn’t really consider Sarah an asshole, or even a butthole, and b-hole is probably about where she’s more often at.
Are you sure she didn’t mean ‘b!tch-hole’, which is wonky and awkward but hey it’s Joyce?
Sign in back says “Get Poli-Psyched”.
Polyam storyline coming on.
Not Poly-Psyched?
Becky seems psyched out by the poly possibilities.
I fully expect them to have a tv deal and somehow be in Hollywood by now.
Is this the first time Carla has said she _needed_ help to the whole group? I feel like she’s only ever _wanted_ help before…
I am surprised nobody in the comentariat seemed to notice.
well, she does care about charlie for real as opposed to being ‘not giving a fuck about anyone except me’ kinda bravado
Cut to a montage of Dina and Charlie going from New York City to Paris
Questioning how they got there and why they have several gold bars and diamond necklaces
I think the funniest turn of phrase in today’s strip is Joyce’s “fuckin’ b-hole.”
Mosaic swearing. The theory of evolution predicts things like this.
H*nd in h*nd! For fuck sake you are in public space
This series is gonna end with dina having a record breaking amount of girlfriends
Welp, someone is remembering the last time Dina disappeared.
i love that carlas participating more in this arc
Look, Becky, this isn’t that bad. Dina walking somewhere holding hands with Charlie isn’t so big of a problem. Things won’t truly be messed up unless you find them dancing together.
(Specifically, a foxtrot.)
I thought there had to be a horse involved.
oh wait that’s joyce
Malaya’s room is the closest DoA gets to a Foxtrot. There’s an iguana and a character who’s never seen without eyewear!
Sal and Malaya don’t wear glasses, though.
Marcie does.
And that’s how we got this giant glass dinosaur filled with fireball.
The solution is that they all date eachother, really
Becky got a bad case of Joyce Face
Oh, the angst! Oh, the face!
(there, there, becky; trust your girlfriend)
BECKY’S BRAIN used FEAR OF REJECTION.
It’s super effective!
Now I hate Charlie, the homewrecking harlot.

Poor Becky and Carla. They are so insecure, expecially Becky.
Yup, it’s not a good look.
Yes, Carla’s a rock. There’s no conspicuous performance for attention to cover up any insecurity she might have. None at all. Just perfection incarnate. In fact, Joyce might have to check to see if Carla’s the one and true savior if Jesus ends having been a red herring.
Carla is worried, but Becky is paralysed by the fear!
Kudos to Carla for remembering Dina’s name, I guess?
Carla recognizes Dina’s sexual charisma

10/10 punchline no notes
Your note was “10/10 punchline,” so yes notes.
“No notes” is a showbusiness term which specifically only means criticisms or suggestions for alterations, so, yes, no notes, Pedantic Jerkass.
Honestly they left themselves wide open by choosing that name.
wouldnt’ think they were still around, i thought they stopped commenting b/c they got set off everytime i said ‘prolly’
“fuckin’ b-hole” is such a great Joyce line. WHAT ARE YOU EVEN CENSORING??? You can just say butthole.
I was just about to say the same thing…
Could be b u n g hole(spaced out in case there’s a filter in teh comments for that word lol) tho i don’t think joyce is old enough to rly hear that term being used commonly anymore (even tho that’s a technical term on a barrle)
Becky right now:
“Deep into that
darkness peering,
long I stood there,
wondering…
fearing…
doubting…”
Piiiiuuuuuuuusssss
talking about dinosaurs, holding hands, AND they’re gonna get arrested together for breaking into a bank vault which is like lefty lesbian hall of fame shit
“you’ve undumped walky” …Did she? i ahve the worst memory
I mean, i guess for someone like Dina, hand holding is a bigger thing (just like the ‘lewd handholding’ JP manga 8D), although i’m sure dina will explain. or they’ll end up in some polycule. if not just getting a bunch of valuables from the vault they infiltrated
