            Would not tea dumped in a harbor become weak, in most settings? Especially the historical setting we are referencing where they certainly did not have enough tea in Boston to make Boston harbor completely tea.

    But isn’t the sock/towel/whatever supposed to be hung on the doorknob to let an absent roommate know something is going on *before* they try to come into the room?  Since Sierra got the bum’s rush out the door, she already knows what’s going down between Dorothy and Walky so hanging a sock on the door now is unnecessary.

      Actually, unless Sierra wants to guard the door full time until they’re done, the sock would serve as a signal that they haven’t come out, yet. (One presumes that Walky would notice the sock as he was leaving and remove it.)

    I still think a sock on the door is a bad idea with Ruth as the RA. No one likely visits Dorothy and Sierra anyway aside from Joyce, and she wouldn’t have a clue what it meant. Ruth on the other hand probably patrols the hall often. A simple locked door seems like their safest bet.

        On the one hand she logically does. On the other hand no other existing major or minor characters appear to be friends with her. If anyone was going to open that door it’d likely be Ruth or Joyce for drama reasons, it probably wouldn’t be a new minor character friend of Sierra. If the door isn’t locked already only Ruth would have a key anyway.

          She knows Billie at least, just not on a friends-lets-go-hang-out way. I imagine in the dorm most of the girls know each other on a name or appearance basis, especially with all the meetings Ruth forces.

            There’ve been two floor meetings in the three weeks of school: One on move-in day, one as part of the fallout of Billie pulling the fire alarm. The latter was required by higher authority; the former probably was as well. Both of them were much more… efficient than any floor meeting I remember from when I was in college.

            The main thing that she’s really gung-ho about is making sure everyone attends.

    I’m honestly interested. Given characteristics within races as I seem to see portrayed by Willis, I’m gonna guess Sierra is some type of black. (I’m guessing entirely based on how he draws Sarah’s hair and Sarah’s and Jacob’s noses). I’m also guessing Sarah has natural hair or some huge dreadlocks, consisering how she wears it.

    GIVEN these guesses, I wonder if Sierra’s hair is natural or relaxed
    .. I mean, there’s no way natural hair would sit that straight, unless she juat flat irons the roots but leaves the ends. Then again, she doesn’t wear shoes so I wonder if she would flat iron at all (natural hair logic).

    I guess she could be texlaxed and have really loose curls. Or maybe not be black at all and I should be asleep at 2:30 AM.

    Honestly curious.  I got the distinct impression that while Walky was exploring new territories this wasn’t necessarily Dorothy’s first rodeo, and we already know about Sal and the TA as well as Joe and Roz.  On the other hand, I’m certain that at the very least Joyce, Dina, Danny, and Amber are still rookies.  So who else in the Dumbiverse is ‘experienced’ and who isn’t?

    Joe’s hand in the last panel looks weird. I guess he’s meant to be leaning against the wall, but it also looks like he’s leaning forward to snatch Sierra away…

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).

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. theonion.com/you-can...

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

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.
