      Just because she can tie knots incredibly quickly that alone does not make her a superhero.

      It will however eventually make her very popular if she ever applies that to cherry stems.

        Plasma – I believe Random was making a christian / superspeed hero pun. A better response to that would be “Her ability to make crazy conclusions in a single bound is almost miraculous.” to keep with the heavenly hero theme.

        And then the next person could have made a pun about her willingness to go into dens of sin and inequity proving that she had the courage of a saint or making a joke about daring to go where even angels fear to tread…

        … whereupon some random person would have made a joke about the promised land, shortly followed by a Joe, Mike, or Walky -esque comment about it being between Dorothy’s legs.

        But you ruined all that and now it will never happen. For taking away that train of thought one can only respond with a hearty, “Boo!”

            I really can’t stay – Baby it’s cold outside
            I’ve got to go away – Baby it’s cold outside
            This evening has been – Been hoping that you’d drop in
            So very nice – I’ll hold your hands, they’re just like ice

            My mother will start to worry – Beautiful, what’s your hurry?
            Father will be pacing the floor – Listen to the fireplace roar
            So really I’d better scurry – Beautiful, please don’t hurry
            Maybe just a half a drink more – Put some records on while I pour

            The neighbors might think – Baby, it’s bad out there
            Say, what’s in this drink? – No cabs to be had out there
            I wish I knew how – Your eyes are like starlight now
            To break this spell – I’ll take your hat, your hair looks swell

            I ought to say no, no, no – Mind if I move in closer?
            At least I’m gonna say that I tried – What’s the sense in hurting my pride?
            I really can’t stay – Baby don’t hold out
            Ah, but it’s cold outside

            I’ve got to get home – Oh, baby, you’ll freeze out there
            Say, lend me your coat – It’s up to your knees out there
            You’ve really been grand – Thrill when you touch my hair
            Why don’t you see – How can you do this thing to me?

            There’s bound to be talk tomorrow – Think of my life long sorrow
            At least there will be plenty implied – If you caught pneumonia and died
            I really can’t stay – Get over that hold out
            Ah, but it’s cold outside
            Oh, baby, it’s cold outside
            Oh, baby, it’s cold outside

        Beats me, I’m a dude, we did Cub Scouts instead.

        I did Tiger, Bobcat, Wolf, and Bear. Then I quit because I was bored and who wants to be called Webelos.

          I made it halfway through Bear Scout myself. Then one week we just didn’t go, and I didn’t say anything about it, and we just never went again, and later I asked why we never went anymore and my Mom just said “if you wanted to go you should have said something”.

          Course I didn’t actually learn any useful outdoorsy stuff or ever go camping so it was kind of a waste of time.

        It’s Daisies, Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes, Seniors, from youngest to oldest.

        … What, I have nieces.

        Anyway, I bet Joyce’s parents wouldn’t let her be a Girl Scout. They let lesbians in, that’s promoting the gay agenda and stuff.

    Damn. We’re back to jokes. At least it’s not as bad as yesterday, where we got some sweet sentimental fleshling crap.

    I much prefer the comics where bad things happen to fleshlings and they are sad.

    That said, I like the potential I see in Joyce. She shows promise. Yes, when people ask ‘what are you going to do about it?’ The best response is to simply do whatever it is you are going to do. People need to learn discipline. They need to learn to take orders from their superiors. It is important to show others that you are superior to them.

    Does anyone care how fucked up that is for Sarah to breach her privacy like that? That’s really invasive. I understand mentioning that it’s okay to undress or whatever and that insisting she turn away is a little weird, but threatening to break her set boundary? Really not cool. What’s up Sarah? Are you feeling insulted that she wanted to dress you so you’re going on the defense? Too far.

Reposting links when it's not ass o'clock but if bigots can yell at visa and mastercard then so can we. This is a nightmare timeline for nsfw creators and creators as a whole, so if you're someone who enjoys my work or anyone else's we need all hands on deck if we want any shot at all

Considering Dagwood's industrialist tycoon parents disowned him for marrying Blondie, I'm pretty sure that last panel was his wedding vows verbatim

instead of vowing to take itch down with your justified anger, redirect that anger at the institutions who are directly responsible for strong arming every single platform that sells adult and/or queer art:

Real discussion: CNN: Hey Dave it's CNN. Could you come on to talk about the death of Hulk Hogan Me: Hulk Hogan was a racist scab and a liar. He hated unions, Black people, and the truth and that's why he loved Donald Trump. What time do you want me? CNN: Great! Well.... so we'll keep looking

So idk why that article is using an image of Ladykiller in a Bind, which has not been removed from any platform. BUT, if you're feeling like now's a good time to directly download a copy of my award winning sex comedy... it's currently 80% off on itch! loveconquersallgames.itch.io/ladykillerin...

Had a dream about Dumbing Of Age a couple of days ago that I couldn’t get out of my head so I had to illustrate it lol @damnyouwillis.bsky.social #webcomic #dumbingofage #webcomics
A comic depicting a dream I had about the current arc of the webcomic Dumbing Of Age by David Willis. 

Panel 1
Joyce, holding hands with Dorothy, with a pouty face: Sorry, Joe, but Dorothy and I are dating now.

Panel 2
There is a sad pause where Joe realises what’s happening, frowning with sad eyes. 

Panel 3
Joe, raising a finger up thoughtfully: I am very happy for you. Now if you’ll excuse me.

Panel 4
Joe, running down the hallway, screaming: HEY I NEED TO HAVE SEX CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME I REALLY WANT TO FUCK RIGHT NOW THAT WOULD BE SUPER GREAT I WANT SEX PLEASE

Panel 5
Jennifer, appearing out of nowhere, handing Joyce a beer can: Hold my beer.

Panel 6
Joe, continuing to run: SEX PLEASE SEX PLEASE GIMME SEX PLEASE
Jennifer chases after Joe, clearly going to satiate his needs. Joyce stares with disappointment and annoyance, still holding the beer can.
