    In assuming that something was “wrong” with Danny instead of inferring that Dorothy “screwed it up”, that has to be the nicest thing Mike’s ever said to her.

      Generally, admitting to doing the dumping (as opposed to the more neutral “we broke up”) implies that you were the sole party wanting out of the relationship. At the very least, it means you took initiative, which translates to some level of dissatisfaction.

        Brain no want in your body. Hence why it left to begin with.

        What I’m saying is, clean up a bit in there, and maybe it will want to come back. Until then, it has a room at the Super 8.

    This is why you don’t tell Mike anything. At all. Unless you feel like having things revealed you REALLY don’t want revealed.

      Withholding information from Mike is not sufficient defense. As his plans unfold, you will realize they could have been averted by telling him the information you did not tell him. But then it will be too late.

    I think we’ve all established that DOA!Mike is not as much of a memetic asshole as Walkyverse!Mike, so… damn, this guy might actually be a straight-up sociopath. Like, the unfunny kind. Like, the kind I met once in high school. The kind that drives everyone he knows away from him and then laughs about it.

    Before, it was funny, because everything he said was something they needed to hear, but now it seems like he’s just trying to ruin people for the hell of it regardless of how much they “deserve” it.

      This would make some kind of sense to me, except that Dorothy *does* deserve it. (Walky is just collateral damage in this case.)

      Aside from Walky, the only other person who leaps to mind as being undeserving of what Mike dished out was Joe.

      At the risk of breaking the Tupperware seal of DOA and/or being a hipster, I’ve hated the character of Mike since the Its Walky! days.

      I like that the other characters in DOA seem to recognize that Mike is a completely toxic individual and show a generally decreased tolerance for cartoonish horribleness. It would please me to see him get comeuppances for being such a jerk to everyone. Lots and lots of comeuppances. The most.

    I just love that Dorothy seems to think that she’s immune from any sort of explanation of her bullshit and see it come back to bite her in the ass in the form of Mike. Really, Dorothy… scheming to have your current boy toy swipe the shoes from your ex-boyfriend… what did you THINK was gonna happen!?

    Karma = Mike.

    … oh, god, that’s a HORRIBLE conclusion. >.<;

      I’m sorry, but I fail to see a woman choosing to finish a relationship and then choosing to start another as “bullshit”. Am I missing something?
      I thought she broke up with Danny for his own good (at least partly) and she started a relationship with Walky because she knows he won’t be as emotionally demanding.

      • begbert2
        begbert2

        The bullshit is where she concocted a plan to go ask Joe to steal a pair of her ex’s shoes for her new boyfriend to borrow, hopefully to be returned before they were missed.

        And before you claim that Dorothy asked Walky to ask Joe to explain the situation and ask Danny to lend his shoes to Joe to lend to Walky because he’s Dorothy’s new squeeze, explain this: if Dorothy didn’t think she were doing something wrong, why is she hiding?

          Because the point is for Danny to not have to see her. She doesn’t want to cause pain.

          Also, I think the plan is to ask Joe to ask Danny to borrow them. Danny’s pretty accommodating so swiping stuff isn’t necessary, and Dorothy knows this.

        Why was she dating a guy in the first place that she didn’t think was worth sticking with through college? If she really cared about him and his future, why not plan ahead and spare him the heartbreak, if he wasn’t good enough for her and her big dreams anyway?

        The problem is she believes she’s too good for other people. Too good for Danny, and unless Walky does what she wants, occasionally too good for Walky. And if that’s really the case, she should spare other people the heartbreak and not date them until she knows they match up with her life goals. Checklist first, kissies later.

        It’s perfectly possible to become good friends with a cute guy you like without leading him on and breaking his heart. Not a fan of people who string other people along because of ‘cuteness’ and then drop them because they never fit into your life goals to begin with. Either tell the guy he doesn’t have a chance, and leave it at that, or love him, and stick with that. Enough games.

          a) This is a web-comic, in-perfect logic creates drama. 😛
          b) I assume she was happy with Danny at the time, but over time realised just how over clingy he was in a relationship and didn’t want him to ruin his life
          c) Walky has said he only likes her and wouldn’t do a Danny if she left for Yale. So he does fit her life goals in the short term.

    This is simply a bad idea from beginning to end. Adding Mike is overkill but necessary. Also it seems like less comment today. Maybe everyone expect a spectacular train wreck in the next comic.

    And so begins the Adventures of Dorothy and Mike…

    Joe has already been Mike’d.

    Walky has also been Mike’d, and he used Dorothy for that purpose.

    Dorothy is about to be Mike’d, and Mike will be using Walky to make it happen. Though yes, Dorothy has it coming. I generally like her as a character, but her plan here is rather low.

    I wonder though, when will Billie be sufficiently Mike’d?

      When Billie gets Mike’d, expect an attempted suicide storyline to follow. Forget embarrassing her or breaking her up with someone or beating her up; her entire worldview and sense of personal worth is so overtly fragile that it practically has a bull’s eye painted on it.

      Agreed. It’s the death toll in dating. You know at that point either you’re in the friend zone, or that she at least subconsciously feels that way about you, and not in the sexy fun times way that you had hoped.

    Rope? I don’t understand the expression.

      The expression is “give somebody enough rope to hang themselves,” meaning that you let someone do what they want to do while knowing it’ll get them in trouble.

      Mike isn’t quite using the expression in the usual way; he’s decided to take matters (and the proverbial rope) into his own hands. But that’s Mike.

    “Nice Guy.” Who does not respect your dreams. Got it.

    Unfortunately not having language for what is wrong with a relationship is super common.

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

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
