I think if Mike really wanted to tick off Sal, he would have forced either Joyce and/or Walky into her lap and took whichever seat they previously occupied.
I can see Rick being the crazy custodian now, he could eb the professor of Asian history or maybe he’s now a pirate lover and teaches naval history because that would be even more awsome… but unlikely.
Oh wait, that pirate guy from McAwsome’s will be the professor of naval history and he and Rick will have a running gag of fighting over which is best.
Anybody who isn’t confident enough to ride a proper motorcycle. I myself ride a scooter purely because it’s unable to break the speed limits, hence removing any possible desire to do so.
What makes it even funnier, the story itself has nothing to do about sex at all. It’s actually about maturing from adolescence. That just happens to be what’s on the mind of a thirteen year old japanese boy most of the time, it’s also why the innuendo lessens towards the end as Naota grows into a more mature kid.
Faz is excited to be learning this subject, which is of much interest to Faz who will be top students because Faz is superior to all classmates and don’thitmesister!
I think Howard’s hair isn’t like that. I think we saw him in the background of an earlier strip. His hair is very smooth and his glasses are excessively prominent.
He teaches World History and spends a lot of time talking about Japan and how Pirates are directly responsible for every problem with the world (including the inverse of the Pastafarian theory about global warming).
I think Mike is such an asshole that he’s not even enrolled in this school. He’ll show up in every class anyone else is in, because it doesn’t really matter.
I’d point out that Walky claimed that Mike was his roommate, but it’s entirely possible that Mike just moved into a random dorm room to mess with the occupants and got Walky.
Plus its really hard to be a sarcastic asshole if no ones there to hear/see you be a sarcastic asshole. True asshatery does require an audience, and using Walky et al. as that audience means he doesn’t have to go meet other people.
Yeah, I’m sitting on a great idea for a religion based on Mike as the prophet. It’s called Sarcasticism and the whole idea is to always ask yourself W.W.M.S? (What Would Mike Say?)
While I’m reminded of Willis’s propensity for cameos, I would like to announce my increasing anticipation of the arrival of “Professor of Journalism, Bart O’Ryan.”
While I realize it’s probably just the comic not showing each character sitting down, when I first read this I had a vision of Joyce, Walky, and Mike teleporting into their current seats all at once. Not sure why. Poor Sal.
I was kind of hoping Jason was the FBI/Secret Service/Postal Inspectors/local law enforcement suspect document examiner who teaches the paleography and typography classes on the side. As for why Mike is sticking close to Walky, I figure he’s already established Walky’s level of insult, and/or he’s actually scared of Billie’s negativity. Right, someone so censorious and negative they scare Mike.
I’m really enjoying the whole Dumbing of Age thing. I really haven’t read alot of your older work. I just got into your stuff through Shortpacked and Joyce and Walky, but I really like this so far. Now you have the approval of some random stranger from the interwebz! HOMG!
Me if I ever see Tony Hawk: Hey you’re Tony Hawk the famous skateboarder. That’s right I recognise you. Won’t be able to get any content out of this will you, you piece of shit

today in #9chickweedlane i learned we have to be shown children learning and relearning what sex is, for Reasons, even though they already clearly know and have prepared nuanced questions about it!
also that Gran must hate, if she's still alive, how Old Juliette is the same but with gray hair
one of my favorite things is when a commenter explodes WHEN DO THESE CHARACTERS GET THERAPY but directed towards a character who canonically has a regular therapist

btw if you're one of those rando bluesky weirdos who doesn't know me but sees me in the wild being sarcastic and don't know i'm being sarcastic because you haven't taken like 30 seconds to, like, maybe look at my user profile or something, keep walking, you're not going to score internet points here

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.

I like Sal’s choice of clothing.
I like Sal’s breasts.
I still find Sall + college highly dubious.
is your avatar a kougra?
I’m kind of surprised Joyce doesn’t still have the motorcycle helmet and isn’t going VAROOM! Also, is that Faz in the background?
I think I see Jacob back there as well, second panel.
Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like him…
Yeah, it does look like him.
Could just be another black guy….
Definitely Jacob. I concur.
It is not.
WORD OF GOD.
And all the tropers said, “amen.”
But he never denied Faz being there…
CONFIRMATION!
The person people think is Faz is actually a girl. Check out her tapering waist.
So… it’s Amber?
Does anyone else think not-Jacob looks like he has a little dirt on his lip? I mean hair… yes hair…
*cough*failstach*cough*
@Jabberwocky: amen.
Is that Faz in the last panel?
Not sure. I can’t see his faaaaaaaaaaace
I hope not.
I hope so!
Knowing how Willis writes, it almost definitely is Faz.
Faz is creepy!
Nope, not Faz. The highlight is gray, not brown.
Sal’s got groupies!
I want to know if that’s Jacob or Faz in the background there, or if I’m being too hopeful.
Mike is there JUST to tick off Sal.
I think if Mike really wanted to tick off Sal, he would have forced either Joyce and/or Walky into her lap and took whichever seat they previously occupied.
figures you have a mike icon.
Mike is there because Walky is there. He’s staying close to him for some reason.
Mike/Walky? … Man, and I thought Mike and Amber’s relationship in SP! was a bad idea.
So, yeah. No clue.
Want.
Red haired guy in the last panel is Ninja Rick, because he must!
Wrong. Ninja Rick must be the prof.
No way. Reagan should be the prof.
Ninja rick’ll totally be the crazy custodian.
Reagan is dead…
I can see Rick being the crazy custodian now, he could eb the professor of Asian history or maybe he’s now a pirate lover and teaches naval history because that would be even more awsome… but unlikely.
Oh wait, that pirate guy from McAwsome’s will be the professor of naval history and he and Rick will have a running gag of fighting over which is best.
Bah, a scooter would’ve just brought attention to…well…hm.
Quick question, who here likes scooters?
The only problem I’ve got with them is when people put them in front of the bike racks at my school, because then they take up a lot of space.
Anybody who isn’t confident enough to ride a proper motorcycle. I myself ride a scooter purely because it’s unable to break the speed limits, hence removing any possible desire to do so.
Scooters are awesome. Especially electric ones and Mopeds (especially especially Mopeds).
I want a friggin’ scooter. FLCL instilled in me an healthy(?) desire for a Vespa of my own.
Yaya for FoolyCooly. Need a vespa and a guitar. I have a guitar.
FLCL Is so friggin awesome. I’ve never seen so much inuendo packed into 6 episodes in my life, and I’ve seen Samurai Pizza Cats.
What makes it even funnier, the story itself has nothing to do about sex at all. It’s actually about maturing from adolescence. That just happens to be what’s on the mind of a thirteen year old japanese boy most of the time, it’s also why the innuendo lessens towards the end as Naota grows into a more mature kid.
Sewing maching engines for the win!
Hard to be the brooding loner when you got a fanclub XD
Poor Billie, don’t try so hard.
No Sal, you don’t want a Gobot!
You just stay right on that high horse, Billie. You’ll have to come down at some point.
*points at Panel 3* FAZ!!
Faz is excited to be learning this subject, which is of much interest to Faz who will be top students because Faz is superior to all classmates and don’thitmesister!
Your comment is made of win.
The only thing missing from your post is a Faz avatar.
Oh look! Jacob, possably Faz….and whoever that red headed person is….
Rick?
Is he maybe Ruth’s brother? Howard, i think?
That option I like.
It’s Pirate Bob, Ninja Rick’s brother. They don’t really speak to each other (and tend to make Thanksgiving pretty awkward).
Also, JACOB!
I think Howard’s hair isn’t like that. I think we saw him in the background of an earlier strip. His hair is very smooth and his glasses are excessively prominent.
No! I want Ninja Rick to be staff!
Wouldn’t Jacob still be in highschool?
not necessarily, Willis has kinda jumbled up ages in this universe.
He should be a janitor.
Staff is someone who works at the college but doesn’t teach. So Janitor would fit into that category. Faculty is someone who teaches.
…that really doesn’t look like Jacob at all.
I think they really are just background filler people.
Word of God agrees with you mortal… (No I am not he)
That’s probably not Jacob considering he doesn’t look anything like Jacob.
Yeah, but come on– all PANTONE 436 people look alike to me.
Hey. That’s racist. Tonist? Either way it’s wrong and I won’t stand for it. So I’ll just have a seat in this comfy chair.
:/ Thats right, Billie.
Be sure to keep that quote in mind the next time you scowl jealously every time Walky pays more attention to Sal then he does you.
Mike is being the most unenthusiastic groupie ever.
I so hope Sal and Mike date at some point. It would be epic.
Mike’s not a Sal groupie…he’s a WALKY groupie.
This is an extremely interesting theory.
I thought he was just an asshole groupie.
to clarify that, he’ll be anyone’s groupie as long as its insulting.
I don’t know, I rather enjoy the un-clarified implications.
I think I want him to be more of an arsehole gropie.
Do you mean he appreciates unpleasant people, or he appreciates anal sex? Or both?
I just had this wierd vision of Sal and Mike hooking up. Fanfic writers, start your engines!
I really want Ninja Rick to be the prof. Cuz that class would be epic.
He teaches World History and spends a lot of time talking about Japan and how Pirates are directly responsible for every problem with the world (including the inverse of the Pastafarian theory about global warming).
LOL! INTERNET!!!!!!!!
Mike is only with them because it would annoy Billie. Also Mike is a freshman at this point. He would be Mike light at this point.
I think Mike is such an asshole that he’s not even enrolled in this school. He’ll show up in every class anyone else is in, because it doesn’t really matter.
I’d point out that Walky claimed that Mike was his roommate, but it’s entirely possible that Mike just moved into a random dorm room to mess with the occupants and got Walky.
I wouldn’t put it past him.
I find Mike oddly adorable sitting there.
Yeah, scooters get better mileage, are easier to park, and don’t attract quite the attention “sports bikes” do. But “performance” is such a rush….
Sewing machine engines are the way of the future!
Two things about this comic. 1, I Love Mikes grumpy little sitting position. LOVE. And 2, Sal’s shirt? Yes. Awesome.
Part of me is upset that Sal apparently entered through a doorway…
And my Avatar is upset that her groupies defected to Sal.
i like the expressions in the second panel.
the look on joyce’s face in the 2nd panel..*shivers* i do love the mike-ness though
She is staring into your soul!
I hope we get to see Jason soon… I’ve missed him for so many years!
We saw him in the This man- This Manhattan storyline. That wasn’t that long ago was it?
Is it just me, or does Mike look disappointed in panel 3?
Disappointed over Billie?
It’s just you.
Heck, his expression is unchanged from panel 2. It’s just his default frown-half-glare.
There’s just something about this Mike’s expression. Compared to the other Mike, this one looks downright pleasant. Or…sad?
Joyce and Sal are sitting next to one another.
…
This shall placate me as the silly shipper I am until Jason appears as the silly character fan I am.
Of course if Joyce had had the helmet still on it would be even better.
So you want to ship Sal/Joyce-Stig?
I think that Sal’s outfit is Latex though…
Oh my god, how did I not see this before — SAL IS THE STIG!
It explains *everything*
-Fanfic plot bunny-
Sal is later discovered by Joyce, and Amazi-girl’s identity is rather quickly discovered soon after by Joyce. (Sal always knew).
Threesomes ensue.
…
Why do all my DoA fanfic ideas inevitably lead to Joyce femmeslash?
Oh yeah. Because Joyce is adorable.
She’s not wearing a bra.
I can tell.
Your name is strangely appropriate for your remark…
You don’t know the half of it.
Mike’s just gotten close to the group so he can piss them all off later.
That and right now he knows it’s pissing off Billie.
Plus its really hard to be a sarcastic asshole if no ones there to hear/see you be a sarcastic asshole. True asshatery does require an audience, and using Walky et al. as that audience means he doesn’t have to go meet other people.
I feel that it is prudent to ask why the hell Mike hasn’t gotten a character profile yet.
Yeah, I’m sitting on a great idea for a religion based on Mike as the prophet. It’s called Sarcasticism and the whole idea is to always ask yourself W.W.M.S? (What Would Mike Say?)
Or What WILL Mike Say?
That he fucked your mom for a nickel.
And that he overpayed.
And dammit, I liked my Dina avatar!
And instead of “Amen”, you say “F*** YOU TOO ASSHOLE!”
I hate to break this to you Sal, but you would still look hawt, and badass, even with a Scooter.
Given the side-by-side comparison, I think Joyce looks better with the triangle grin than the closed arc smile.
Why do I get the feeling I’m gonna see Ninja Rick as a janitor, swinging a mop around like a sword.
Aw, was hoping for a Joe avatar
While I’m reminded of Willis’s propensity for cameos, I would like to announce my increasing anticipation of the arrival of “Professor of Journalism, Bart O’Ryan.”
While I realize it’s probably just the comic not showing each character sitting down, when I first read this I had a vision of Joyce, Walky, and Mike teleporting into their current seats all at once. Not sure why. Poor Sal.
Just a guess but I’m betting the professor will be Leslie. This should be interesting!
They’re in math, and I’m pretty sure Leslie is an English professor.
she is.
Math prof is Jason… or so I’ve been told.
That is the rumor.
I was kind of hoping Jason was the FBI/Secret Service/Postal Inspectors/local law enforcement suspect document examiner who teaches the paleography and typography classes on the side. As for why Mike is sticking close to Walky, I figure he’s already established Walky’s level of insult, and/or he’s actually scared of Billie’s negativity. Right, someone so censorious and negative they scare Mike.
Or figures not sitting near Billie will make her more angry then not sitting next to Walky. It also appears to make Sal angry too.
Does it help that I think I saw Jacob right in the background of panel two as if he’s on his way to lunch?
I’m really enjoying the whole Dumbing of Age thing. I really haven’t read alot of your older work. I just got into your stuff through Shortpacked and Joyce and Walky, but I really like this so far. Now you have the approval of some random stranger from the interwebz! HOMG!
Mike looks highly unimpressed… its probably because he didnt get a chance to bang the professors mom
Why would he want to do someone old enough to be his grandmother? He’s got some kind of granny fetish I am unaware of?
is that Faz behind Sal’s text bubble in panel 3?!?
And thus Sal had inexplicably acquired a cult.
…Mike totally wants in the motorcycle fangroup.
