Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
At my art school half the people wore stuff they found in thrift store (the beginning of big Hipster… thing, I guess), and the other half wore whatever the fuck they didn’t care about getting paint and clay and ink all over.
Aside from the hideous scars all over them I do have the legs for them. Especially in the summer when I shave them so the cuts from flying road trash are easier to treat… Riding a bicycle for transportation in Texas is a full-contact blood sport. In spite of the clothes it ain’t for sissies.
Someone made me a pair of those and leather on bare skin in 110F is a really bad combination. It doesn’t take much humidity at those temperatures combined with the exertion of riding a bike and the chaps moving on the legs to make pools of sweat and large areas of skin that are missing layers. And that was the only time I wore the chaps, the girl that made them took them and turned them into a domme costume.
I remember seeing the art with everyone walking toward the camera and thinking that Sarah seemed a bit odd in that outfit, which is the one she’s wearing now.
My theory was that when she was younger, Billie went to a school where there were a few Jennifers around, so she(or someone else) nicknamed her Billie and the name stuck.
I had that happen to me when I started to wear contacts in high school. Nobody said anything. And since I never got used to putting them in or wearing them, I just said “forget it” and went back to wearing glasses.
I think the reason you see less of that over here is guns guns guns. Cops carry them, which dissuades the crazies, and a proper American drunken mob would be shooting everyone in sight, which would summon serious reprisal, which dissuades the crazies.
This is just a guess, mind; I haven’t studied the psychotic (non-American) football fan mindset in detail. Maybe American football is just less interesting than the foreign alternative.
We don’t have soccer riots here because no one gives a shit about soccer here.
I’ve seen both basketball and baseball riots. Never witnessed a gridiron riot, but they probably have them in the parts of the country where people feel about it the way they do about basketball in North Carolina. (My sister is in an interfaith marriage. She’s a UNC fan; her husband is a Duke fan.)
The girl in the last panel who’s standing up looks a bit like a long-lost Walkerton triplet who got adopted by Joyce’s family and taught the ways of the triangle grin. I’m a little scared.
Dude, I’m a 24-year-old woman, and I am one of the masses, in a hoodie and jeans. Sarah has become my Feared Classmate, she of the Done Hair, and the Coordinated Outfit. Her notes have multiple highlighter colours, and each colour has a meaning.
She has shown herself! The one who is prepared, the one who has embraced vanity! Surely she brings the four horse men!! APOCALYPSE, RAGNARÖK, THE END IS NIGH!!!!
Going to have disagree with you on that. That looks like pretty typical day wear to me. Well, for people who actually try when they go out in the world.
The problem with this, it’s %100 true. Because in college, girl cliques go shopping together, and they ALL get the same outfits only in different colors. Like a living collection of Bratz dolls. My sister really hates it cause she wears something different and people look at her weird (and like call her a hipster, which she hates too).
We never had those at school. There were groups of girl friends but they freely interacted with everyone else, never coordinated outfits and were very pleasant all around. Come college there weren’t even girl groups anymore.
Uh, dude, most college girls wander around in a hoodie and jeans or yoga pants. Or a hippie dress. When all your thoughts revolve around “OH GOD PLEASE LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL” clothes kind of just become that thing you put on to pass in public. Bras become optional, because hoodies are thick in material, and your back already hurts from sitting over a laptop/book all day.
People are probably looking at your sister because they’re thinking “Oh gawd, she’s dressed all cute, and her make-up is done. I look like shit. She probably thinks I’m some lazy-ass brat. Fuck. How early does she get up to get all that done?”
That too, though, for reference, consignment shops are your friend. Also, you can get sign-ups from shops like Target and Old Navy telling you when stuff is on sale, where you can score stuff on the cheap. Usually when the seasons are changing. They send you coupons too. The e-mails can be annoying, but every now and then they send you something useful.
I can’t stand yoga pants. Apparently (like Uggs) they’re very comfortable, but I can’t get over how bad they look. especially with those awful riding boots
I know they don’t look great, but goddamn, my ass and waist are comfortable, and if my hoodie is long enough, I look decent. ‘Sides, I’m here to learn, not be pretty. I’ll be pretty later, when I have a grown-up job.
Knowing my sister, around six am, after she’s killed her alarm clock. She sleeps like a bear, but she gets up early cause she always overclocks like everything. As for affording clothes, she just wears the same clothes she had in high school, which is a mash up of clothing actually bought for her, and clothing she’s stolen from my other five sisters (I never fit their clothing or liked their style so I never touched there stuff) and occasionally discount online funny shirts I send her from six dollar t-shirts.
Because FB is the spawn of Satan and devours your soul, and we don’t cotten to any soulless around here. One Blaine is more than enough thankewverramuch.
You don’t have to not put the hood up, either. It’s an option. It can go up or down as required. Like a convertible.
Out in the rain, hood up. Come inside where it’s dry, hood down. Shoveling snow and you want to keep your ears warm, hood up. Working on the ice ridge the plow left at the end of the driveway and you want your peripheral vision to watch for traffic, hood down.
Also, the hood looks better than just a round neck hole.
Like Sarah needs to feel more isolated. Older and more mature than her dorm mates, who all seem like kids to her. Active enemies from her first year. Tall. She definitely needs someone like Jacob who she might consider an equal. Almost said peer, but I know how dirty all your minds are.
A couple of the girls in panel 3 could conceivably be thinking “She’s not wearing a hoodie dress! What’s up with that?” By panel 4, as Sarah attempts to disappear into the wall in embarassment, it’s very apparent that no-one cares what she’s wearing.
ancillary: pronounced (anˈsɪləri)
meaning:providing necessary support to the primary activities or operation of an organization, system, etc. “ancillary staff”
I love Sarah’s outfit. <3 I love the reversed layers look. I wear stuff like that too….now even. A sundress over a long sleeved shirt. And a vest over all of it. <3
The page made me laugh, then after I had read my other webcomics for the day, I had to come back and laugh again. That is a rare thing. Kudos Sir Willis.
Sarah looks good in that outfit, Joyce has a good eye. That last panel looks like an ewok invasion. At first glance, I thought that was Walky in the last panel.
Damn you WILLIIIIIIIS!!!!!!
I really want a hoodie dress, cannot find one in any stores around me (or even amazon) and you just keep throwing it’s awesomeness in my face! IN MY FACE, YOU BASTARD!!!!!
On another note, dayum, Joyce knows how to sexy dress other people!
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”
Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com ⋅ 16h
Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno
Cops are overgrown children cosplaying War, with all the rest of us forced into their stupid, childish game without our consent, consuming vast funds from the public treasury and ruining lives by the hundreds of thousands.

My guess is there’s a credit card company handing out free hoodie dresses…
No, no, remember… Joyce dresses EVERYONE today
ASSIMILATE! ASSIMILATE!
We Are The Joyce
Resistance Is Futile
Also, we’re legion.
Resistance Is Useless!
(When will the Vogons run into the Borg? It would be … EPIC!)
It is a sea of JOYCES!
Among which, hopefully, Sarah will stick out like an island for Jacob, wandering in that sea, looking for safe harbor. :p
^ This. And it must be said, Sarah wouldn’t have been wearing a hoodie dress, even if she hadn’t put on the outfit Joyce got her.
Is he gonna dock with her?
I hope he doesn’t get cock-docked.
Looks like a cult started up on campus when no one was looking.
ALL HAIL THE HOODIE DRESS.
All we need now is the Ugg boots.
They’re all on my campus.
I think that’s preferable to art school: everyone in designer.
At my art school half the people wore stuff they found in thrift store (the beginning of big Hipster… thing, I guess), and the other half wore whatever the fuck they didn’t care about getting paint and clay and ink all over.
^ This. We weren’t sure some of the art students ever changed their clothes – kind of a “Hipster Hipster” thing, I think. O.o
But yeah – whatever it was, it usually had clay and/or paint and/or charcoal on it, so it was never very expensive.
O hoodie dress why art thou so comfy with yet look so good with my leggings
That’s hilarious with your gravatar.
and size 6 strap ons
HOLY SHIT, Joyce is a natural Jim Jones, next thing you know she’ll be handing out cups of poisoned koolaid.
Not poisoned, just spiked. She is Queen of the Drunks after all.
Flavor-Aid.
Yep, they were too cheap to buy the name brand drink mix, they went with the generic because the aftertaste would hide the drugs…
Haha, all of the similarly colored hoodie dresses made me think “cult” too! Sarah looks awesome!
Joyce dresses literally everyone, it seems.
What a rebel.
HOODIE DRESSES FOR EVERYBODYYYYY!!!
None for me thanks.
;^)
Aww, you beat me to it! But I’m glad we can join in this cause.
I haven’t the legs for it.
Aside from the hideous scars all over them I do have the legs for them. Especially in the summer when I shave them so the cuts from flying road trash are easier to treat… Riding a bicycle for transportation in Texas is a full-contact blood sport. In spite of the clothes it ain’t for sissies.
Solution: leather bicycle chaps.
Someone made me a pair of those and leather on bare skin in 110F is a really bad combination. It doesn’t take much humidity at those temperatures combined with the exertion of riding a bike and the chaps moving on the legs to make pools of sweat and large areas of skin that are missing layers. And that was the only time I wore the chaps, the girl that made them took them and turned them into a domme costume.
I admire your bravery, sir.
I don’t know how much of it is bravery and how much is brain damage from the first big wreck to be brutally honest.
Willis, for the next Kickstarter you should sell hoodie dresses. They could have the Dumbing of Age logo printed on them.
I would buy one. Or five.
Well, hey – being the only one not dressed like a comfy Jawa will certainly help. Catch Jacob’s eye!
Thank God, Sarah! I thought everyone had become some sort of bizzare Joyce clone!
Yeah after all, if everyone was dressed slinky it’s not like it would provide an edge.
Letting Joyce dress you is not the smartest move no matter who you are. Although I’m surprised, it is not a sweater vest.
I think she looks cute!
I was about to ask if today was hoodie day.
Then I remembered I always wear hoodies and every day is hoodie day.
I never wear hoodies but I always wear a jacket.
I remember seeing the art with everyone walking toward the camera and thinking that Sarah seemed a bit odd in that outfit, which is the one she’s wearing now.
I think she looks really nice in it.
Yes, Joyce has picked a good look for Sarah (and I had to go read the tags to make sure I had the name right, I’m trash at remembering names).
Remembering character names is usually easier for me than remembering real peoples’ names. Odd that.
Characters in fiction often have more easily distinguished names, since the same person named them all and did that on purpose.
Willis said once that the most unrealistic thing about his comics is that he only has one character named “Jennifer”.
And everyone calls her “Billie”. So zero in realistic terms.
My theory was that when she was younger, Billie went to a school where there were a few Jennifers around, so she(or someone else) nicknamed her Billie and the name stuck.
I’ve kind of been assuming that the Walkyverse backstory for Billie and Walky’s nicknames holds in this universe, too. Except, y’know, with less Ruth and alien abductions.
Though the preponderance of Jennifers is probably the reason, in both universes, that everyone calls her “Billie”.
Yes — she’s rocking it. Let’s see if it actually works magic on Jacob, though…
Night of the Living Hoodie Dresses.
Oh my god, the dream is coming true!
HOODIE DRESSES FOR EVERYONE
Oh Sarah…sweetie….You’re in a David Willis comic.
Quick, kiss a girl! Then you’ll fit right in!
Sha-la-la-la-la- don’t be scared
We got the mood prepared,
Go on and kiss a girl
They all have these blank stares… I think… I think they might all be robots guys.
Robots don’t have blank stares. They assess you clinically, trying to figure out the best way to kill you. Or at least abandon you in the Amazon.
Joyce Brown Models 24-B, 72-A and 459-D
Is it too much to ask for a model 36-DD?
Yes. Yes it is
Boy, you weren’t kidding when you said hoodie dresses for everyone, eh, Willis?
Must have been a sale at Target.
Also, Joyce picked out a good outfit, I’d say.
Wassup with your web site dude? I keep getting a russian malware warning and a file attempts to download itself…
That’s the LWI web site not the Domain Tnemrot.
Just cleaned out the code, I think it’s something in the Project Wonderful ads. I’m asking them what’s going on.
I’ve seen this outfit on her elsewhere but I can’t remember where. Was it Tumblr?
Suddenly it doesn’t look so great anymore.
The hoodie dresses or Sarah’s outfit?
hoodie dress
Many things don’t seem half as good when EVERYBODY does it.
Its funny how things can go “everybody is going to say something about what I’m wearing” too A”WHYNTHE FUCK HAS NOBODY NOTICED JET!?”
“Yet” the J and the Y are next to each other on my- never mind
I had that happen to me when I started to wear contacts in high school. Nobody said anything. And since I never got used to putting them in or wearing them, I just said “forget it” and went back to wearing glasses.
A sea of juvenile delinquents…
That must be a really violent sea
In London, hoodies = juvenile delinquents so…
Didn’t we talk about that case on trayvon martin before, On this strip?
Not sure, I don’t recall…
On a somewhat related note, I would like to see football hooliganism applied to American collegiate sports. (in this comic, not in real life)
It already exists in real life. Look up Harvey Updyke.
It’s not likely to happen in this comic, though. Football isn’t a big thing at IU.
I was well aware of the incident, I just managed to go two years without associating a name with it.
Anyways, I meant the kind of hooliganism that results in police using riot gear.
I think the reason you see less of that over here is guns guns guns. Cops carry them, which dissuades the crazies, and a proper American drunken mob would be shooting everyone in sight, which would summon serious reprisal, which dissuades the crazies.
This is just a guess, mind; I haven’t studied the psychotic (non-American) football fan mindset in detail. Maybe American football is just less interesting than the foreign alternative.
So if the English had more guns, there would be less soccer riots?
We don’t have soccer riots here because no one gives a shit about soccer here.
I’ve seen both basketball and baseball riots. Never witnessed a gridiron riot, but they probably have them in the parts of the country where people feel about it the way they do about basketball in North Carolina. (My sister is in an interfaith marriage. She’s a UNC fan; her husband is a Duke fan.)
Huh I just realized she’s dressed like Sal…
Joyce things Sal is the most beautiful girl in the world, and thus thinks that dressing Sarah as her will make her pretty.
So will Joyce be playing with Sarah’s hair next then?
I dont see it.
yeah, me neither. Drop us a link to illustrate your point? Pretty please.
Joyce: Trendsetter of the year.
Joyce really did dress everyone today
It’s like the old DOONESBURY storyline with Ginny & Joanie in law school. With Sarah in the Ginny role.
The girl in the last panel who’s standing up looks a bit like a long-lost Walkerton triplet who got adopted by Joyce’s family and taught the ways of the triangle grin. I’m a little scared.
There is more than one mixed-race marriage in the state of Indiana you know.
“That’s a lotta
fishhoods.”Sarah’s thinking “Man, I totally stand out. Everyone wore black dot eyes today except me.”
“How many kids did the Walkertons have…”
Scleras are sooo last season you know.
And clearly I didn’t get the memo that today is ponytail day.
It’s a sign of the hivemind! You cannot dress like a hoodie-wearer without BECOMING a hoodie-wearer!
Just how big was the hoodie dress advertising blitz and sale that week? That’s some pretty impressive market saturation.
On the bright side, she does look great. Sarah seems to do layers quite well.
Those don’t look like Ugg boots, tights, and a Northface coat…
Is it just me, or does one of the girls in the third panel look like Danny?
Just you.
God damnit, Joyce.
Well, he wasn’t lying. Everybody in a hoodie dress.
So if everyone dresses like Joyce is dressed does that mean that they are all….Re-Joycing?
Happy Happy Joyce Joyce!
Well if you ain’t the grand daddy of hoodie dresses
Were you referring to me or my grav?
I’m sure they don’t SWEAT it
Sarah is now that One Girl in class who is actually dressed like a grown-up, that everyone else looks at with envy and something like fear.
I still like wearing hoodies as a 30 year old man, but I feel slightly ridiculous wearing them in public anymore.
As a 32 year old man, I feel fine wear my PA or Debian hoodies in public.
As a 55 YO man I still wear my Punisher hoodie in public when the weather dictates.
Dude, I’m a 24-year-old woman, and I am one of the masses, in a hoodie and jeans. Sarah has become my Feared Classmate, she of the Done Hair, and the Coordinated Outfit. Her notes have multiple highlighter colours, and each colour has a meaning.
She has shown herself! The one who is prepared, the one who has embraced vanity! Surely she brings the four horse men!! APOCALYPSE, RAGNARÖK, THE END IS NIGH!!!!
People who show up for morning classes dressed nicely with all their supplies just intimidate me.
I doubt even the Apocalypse could make a decently-dressed me.
That’s your idea of grown up clothes?
Because that is my idea of clubbing outfits.
You mean like this kind of clubbing? http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/06-yesterday-was-thursday/oldtestament/
That’s a bat you knob, not a club.
They’re totally different.
Going to have disagree with you on that. That looks like pretty typical day wear to me. Well, for people who actually try when they go out in the world.
Everyone must’ve been on the same brainwave or something. I never even knew hoodie dresses were a thing before.
It’s usually just an oversized hoodie over leggings/jeggings.
Who weres short shorts? Sarah were’s short shorts.
She’s a lycanshort?
Wereshorts turn into people when they aren’t shorts?
well sarah and sal.
The problem with this, it’s %100 true. Because in college, girl cliques go shopping together, and they ALL get the same outfits only in different colors. Like a living collection of Bratz dolls. My sister really hates it cause she wears something different and people look at her weird (and like call her a hipster, which she hates too).
…Where does your sister go to college that there are girl cliques? Besides sororities, I mean.
Georgia State University in Milledgeville, and honestly in all walks of life there are girl cliques. It’s unavoidable.
We never had those at school. There were groups of girl friends but they freely interacted with everyone else, never coordinated outfits and were very pleasant all around. Come college there weren’t even girl groups anymore.
Not in my neck of the woods thank goodness. By the time we hit college we couldn’t care less.
Uh, dude, most college girls wander around in a hoodie and jeans or yoga pants. Or a hippie dress. When all your thoughts revolve around “OH GOD PLEASE LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS MATERIAL” clothes kind of just become that thing you put on to pass in public. Bras become optional, because hoodies are thick in material, and your back already hurts from sitting over a laptop/book all day.

Or “how the fuck can she afford those clothes?!” That was a common thought in my head. I felt happy when I could buy a new t-shirt.
That too, though, for reference, consignment shops are your friend. Also, you can get sign-ups from shops like Target and Old Navy telling you when stuff is on sale, where you can score stuff on the cheap. Usually when the seasons are changing.

……..This never happened to me. Then again, I went to a very large state school, so….
…clones o.0 an army of clones
Poor Sarah. She is so cute. Jacob, notice her.
He’s too busy showing off his new hoodie dress.
Hoodie dashiki?
Hoodie Kilt
Why isn’t this facebook so I can like this comment? XD
Because FB is the spawn of Satan and devours your soul, and we don’t cotten to any soulless around here. One Blaine is more than enough thankewverramuch.
I could never wear hoodies. They make my neck sweat too much. Drives me insane.
I don’t wear them either. I don’t like the way they cut off my peripheral vision.
You don’t have to put the hood up.
But if you’re not going to put the hood up at one time or another, why buy it in the first place?
You don’t have to not put the hood up, either. It’s an option. It can go up or down as required. Like a convertible.
Out in the rain, hood up. Come inside where it’s dry, hood down. Shoveling snow and you want to keep your ears warm, hood up. Working on the ice ridge the plow left at the end of the driveway and you want your peripheral vision to watch for traffic, hood down.
Also, the hood looks better than just a round neck hole.
Man everybody is copying Billies style, not cool.
…did Joyce dress everyone to make Sara stand out more to catch Joe’s attention?
Jacob’s attention. Sarah and Joyce are firmly anti-Joe attention.
you know, that’s what I meant, and I even double-checked the tag, just brainfarted while typing.
And Sal
<3 Sarah.
Narcissism much? Geez, some people
She looks like a TDI competitor…. *cannot unsee*
Volkswagen Jetta TDI Racing Series?
Total Drama Island
It is clearly the beginning of hoddie-dress-mageddon.
We could have prevented it. Now, it is too late. Far too late…
No one wanted to believe, believe they even existed..
Am I alone in thinking that Sarah looks hot right now?
That was her intention (regarding your Gravatar)
NOPE.
All you fleshlings look alike to me.
So what class is this that has no guys in it?
Hoodie Dresses 101
WILLSI
Why is this a thing?
Oh Sarah. Being better dressed than everyone else is a perfect way to get Jacob’s attention.
All hoodie dresses, ponytails and triangle smiles. All the time.
ALL SHALL BE JOYCE.
Yeah Sarah, cuz the best way to attract the attention of someone is to blend in with the crowd.
Makeover Stage 1: COMPLETE
I came across a photo of a real-life Dina, apparently doing a velociraptor impression – in something that might be a hoodie dress!

That image met and obliterated every expectation I had. Thank you.
That lovely dino-hoodie immediately brought this to my mind:

Now I wonder if a raptor costume would have a similar effect on Dina.
That seems like a pretty revealing outfit to be picked by Joyce.
Also kind of spoiled by the ugly headscarf thing
Wow, that halter-top is actually pretty hot. Definitely a summer look though.
That’s a spaghetti-strap top, not a halter top. Two straps over the shoulder instead of one strap around the neck.
I am just noticing how tall Sarah is…
I’d say this (assuming it is a negative reaction) has more to do with Sarah being tall rather than having her own style.
The real question:
Will Jacob be in a hoodie dress?
EVERYONE!
I want Dina in a dino-hoodie. Cute but dangerous.
I think I’ve actually seen those before.
See the picture of “Dina” up thread.
Like Sarah needs to feel more isolated. Older and more mature than her dorm mates, who all seem like kids to her. Active enemies from her first year. Tall. She definitely needs someone like Jacob who she might consider an equal. Almost said peer, but I know how dirty all your minds are.
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES NOT KNOW HOODIE-DRESSES?
Joyce picked those shorts? JOYCE!!!!!?????
(Maybe she was thinking very, very hard about what a pagan would wear to get laid.)
We Need A New Poll!!
Wait, that last panel: when did Walkie become a chick?
Dorothy wears the pants in their relationship. Therefore, he must wear the hoodie-dress.
November 16th, 2003.
Now let’s hope Jacob is not a hoodlum.
A couple of the girls in panel 3 could conceivably be thinking “She’s not wearing a hoodie dress! What’s up with that?” By panel 4, as Sarah attempts to disappear into the wall in embarassment, it’s very apparent that no-one cares what she’s wearing.
Willis must be getting lazy. No tags for the ancillary characters.
<_< Surely you meant "auxiliary"?
ancillary: pronounced (anˈsɪləri)
meaning:providing necessary support to the primary activities or operation of an organization, system, etc. “ancillary staff”
I am confused by Sarah’s outfit.
I am also confused by hoodie dresses.
But damn, Sarah has nice legs.
I love Sarah’s outfit. <3 I love the reversed layers look. I wear stuff like that too….now even. A sundress over a long sleeved shirt. And a vest over all of it. <3
The page made me laugh, then after I had read my other webcomics for the day, I had to come back and laugh again. That is a rare thing. Kudos Sir Willis.
Sarah looks good in that outfit, Joyce has a good eye. That last panel looks like an ewok invasion. At first glance, I thought that was Walky in the last panel.
*Whistle* *Whistle*
Joyce in triplicate
WHAT IS HAPPENING.
So either way she would have been dressing different from everyone else
Damn you WILLIIIIIIIS!!!!!!
I really want a hoodie dress, cannot find one in any stores around me (or even amazon) and you just keep throwing it’s awesomeness in my face! IN MY FACE, YOU BASTARD!!!!!
On another note, dayum, Joyce knows how to sexy dress other people!
What’s with the hoodie thing? XD
Don’t mind them, Sarah, you look gorgeous.
