back in the DAY
there was this girl around the WAY
she liked my home-piece mcA
he said he would not give her PLAY
i asked him please he said you MAY
her pants are tight and thats oK
if she would dance i would dJ
we took a walk down to the BAY
Can’t live with , can’t live without them, can’t stop liking them, can’t stop loving them, can’t stop thinking about them or caring about them just freaking Girls man !
An example of omni-directional sarcasm so rampant it’s like trying to speak with a de-motivational poster only more pointless. Mike’s angle for spooking Amazigirl away was a lot more labored over.
Besides, calling Mary a bongo is unfair to dogs. Dogs can certainly be vicious, but they aren’t spiteful, hateful, hypocritical, self-righteous, and poisonous.
The answer is simple: They split into three groups of three: Danny, Ethan and Sal, Dorothy, Walky and Amber, and Billie, Ruth and Joyce. No problem, unless you don’t like threesomes or are straight.
I like Danny/Ethan/Amber as a throuple. Amber and Ethan are BFF’s, they could both perform sexes with Danny, not necessarily at the same time. Danny is really into both of them. It could be a good, loving triad. This messes up Jericho’s other groups, unless you have overlaps.
It’s been like 5 days now, I was only in for 13 after getting hit with a truck so you would think even a P*ssy like Blaine would be out after only getting beat up by a girl.
it’s freakin’ amazing. It’s like Adventure Time, but… at CAMP
and it’s also like Gravity Falls
Basically it’s really good
and all the main characters are GIRLS. Now, this shouldn’t be a selling point, but it really is because the cast is so diverse in both personality and, like, everything else
The series is halfway over now (4 parts released out of 8), but I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fun stuff.
It’s really good! So much funniness. I love finding the clues that give additional insight about the character’s personality/interests, and all the other little details. Had to read them multiple times though, but that is always fun.
Yes, but you are going to have to be more specific. Are you talking something like Luna, or really big like Titan, or tiny like Charon? Or in between like Phobos or Deimos? And WTF, I spelled all of those correctly on the first try?
I’m pretty sure that Phobos and Deimos are much smaller than Charon. Like, you could walk the whole way around them in several hours, whereas Charon is half the size of former-planet Pluto.
According to this handy sortable list, the smallest moons in the solar system by radius are a shitload of Saturn’s and Jupiter’s moons, a few of Uranus’, and then Deimos. Nix is bigger than both Deimos and Phobos.
Pretty sure Mary just adopted How to Draw Manga style by osmosis, without having to actually watch anything. Easy to just see that shit in a bookstore* and co-opt it for your own nefarious uses.
Doesn’t have to be religous. Animation os actually quite a usefull gene; you are not restricted by the normal limitations of actors, nor do you need to re-outfit your actors every day, making it ideal for more complex shows and movies.
Someone asked Willis on tumblr if Mary had any redeeming features, and he answered “She draws okay.” Granted, that could just be a reference to the fact she helped Joyce decorate, but still…
If I had to guess her motive, it would be just to make fun of all the other girls for being sluts. You know, because they all have so much sex with boys while Mary stays pure >.>
But it reminds you of how crushed Amber will be when she finds out about Danny’s attraction. Maybe all her adulation will soften the blow, or maybe it will make her feel even more isolated. Either way, shit’s going down.
“Citizen, I suspect you of being the Whiteboard Ding-Dong Bandit because Sarah said you were too pretty to be a good person.” And this is the person that is teaching Dina about social graces.
I’m noticing that Rachel #2 is the only person that Amazi-Girl doesn’t question in this strip. She was also the only person in the Clark wing that wasn’t in pajamas when the dubious door ding dongs were discovered (Gotta love alliteration), implying that she was awake earlier than the other girls. I think we can add a new suspect to the list
* Toast Images of a Penis on Bread
* Two Slice Novelty Toaster
* Final Assembly in Vermont USA
* White Toaster with Color Accents
What I read:
* Toast Images of a Penis on Bread
* Toast. Images. Of a Penis. On Bread.
* Toast Images of a Penis. On Bread.
* TOAST IMAGES OF A PENIS ON BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Look I know everyone was super psyched about the kissing stuff, but Amazi-Girl running around investigating peeners like some sort of porn spinoff Batman is where it’s at.
“Lesbians until graduation”, a somewhat disparaging term for a woman who has woman-woman relationships during college, but pursues relationship with men after that. Depending on who you ask, LUGs are straight women engaging in experimentation, bisexual women, or “fake” lesbians.
Enough of these ink dink shenanigans, the people demand Ethan and Danny adorable awkwardness!
-Six months later after Willis has milked the heck out of the tension-
Oh my gosh they finally kissed! …Wait, what do you mean now they have to work out their feelings even more for another year’s worth of strips before they finally maybe start talking about getting together? ;_;
But the Ethanny ship could fix that. No more beards, no more self deception, no more using people, no more complete obliviousnous to something right in front of you the entire time for weeks, just hot dudes makin’ out and being geeky!
Will somebody please think of poor Amber completely snapping if that happens? She actually flat out asked Danny if he’s gay after her misadventure with Ethan. If Danny leaves her FOR Ethan… Hoo boy!
1) Amber isn’t THAT fragile.
2) Amber’s the one who will most likely be ending it
3) She deserves to be dumped anyway (the lying and manipulating are terrible foundations to build a relationship on)
4) Amber wants Ethan to be accepting of himself and happy, Danny has all the qualities of a good person to make Ethan happy and comfortable with himself.
5) Amber thinks guy on guy is really hot. The idea of Danny and Ethan doing anything will probably prevent coherent thought and send her into horny incoherency.
TBH they aren’t necessarily “out”–it’s just less expected to be them for the reason AG states.
Which seems weird to me, because how is it that much easier for a righty to draw faces facing left but dicks facing right [for instance]? Then again, I’ve gotten used to just drawing things whichever way because paper.
Well, don’t you usually draw the outline of the cheek and chin first (or forehead, nose and chin if it’s 90-degre profile), before you proceed on to fill in the actual facial features? That’s left-to-right order if the character is facing the left, which is how right-handed people learn to do things. For that matter, if you draw said outline starting from top to bottom, the curve swings in the direction that your right hand’s fingers and wrist bend anyway, offering less resistance compared to drawing a curve in the opposite direction.
I don’t keep up with the thread comments very consistently, so forgive me if this theory has already been stated:
I’m leaning towards Dina being the culprit.
Seeing Mike drawing dicks on Joyce’s whiteboard, she spent the evening emulating “juvenile prank behavior”. Improving at the anatomy with each drawing and finishing with Joyce’s door, she realizes that she had been drawing with a permanent marker the whole time. She doesn’t come clean because nobody has asked her if she was the culprit directly, which nobody does because she’s an unlikely suspect.
Also from a writing perspective, it’s funniest/most interesting if the culprit is one of the few characters Sarah *didn’t* list as a suspect (and also someone that the audience wouldn’t expect right away).
Several people in the comments have suspected Dina already though, and I doubt it is her. She would have observed how Mike doing so UPSET Joyce and how Sarah doing it too had the same effect.
Dina thinks very logically so I imagine her she would have connected the drawing of male anatomy with upsetting people, even if she didn’t know why it upset them. So logically, she has very little reason to do so.
I imagine it is more likely that she saw who did it – and just didn’t say so because she wasn’t asked, because it requires good knowledge of social cues to understand when to give such information – something she lacks.
I don’t dislike Danny. He is just a typical clueless US teen, with a bit more cluelessness than some. He’s not a bad guy. Just sorta, there.
Agree. I don’t like Ethan based on his previous behavior(s).
I think he needs a friend to come out of the closet with, maybe Danny is a good choice. The two of them can live in a big closet.
Well, some stuff like why anyone thinks she might be other Rachel…do they think her hair is a wig or something? How would that even work? And is there any connection between Mandy guessing other Rachel and the fact that the previous panel had AG and other Rachel interacting?
But mainly the last panel. I have no idea what was said just before that, or what was about to be said, or why AG suddenly doesn’t want to say it.
“And is there any connection between Mandy guessing other Rachel and the fact that the previous panel had AG and other Rachel interacting?”
No. That’s just a cut, because actually showing AG walk between each characters’ rooms is unnecessary filler. The pacing of the comic as Willis decided to portray this sequence of interviews best suited to Mary > Other Rachel > Grace/Mandy > Rachel.
“I have no idea what was said just before that, or what was about to be said, or why AG suddenly doesn’t want to say it.”
Sarah said that Rachel is too pretty to be a good person.
And Other Rachel is about the right height and build, and that hair is obviously a wig. Nobody has hair like that. You don’t seriously think it’s Sal, do you?
When Willis showed off the redesigned DoA version of Other Rachel, he mentioned he gave her purple hair because she’d be too physically similar to Amber otherwise. Of the girls in Clark, she’s the one who’s closest in Amber in build and height.
I just went back to the start of the chapter to find out what Sarah said. So, yeah, a bit more than “a few”. Did you know this in-comic day has been going on since early July? :O
I’m joining the Other Rachel theory. She wants to be Amazi-Girl, but since she can’t be her, she decided to become her nemesis instead. By drawing male anatomy on whiteboards.
Not really, there are people that do not like each other in the slightest who will nail each other when faced with a stiff breeze. The don’t fight so much as collide with their genitals. And it is mentioned on TV Tropes. Frequently.
Uh Mary I’m not sure “Jesus is my alibi” will hold up in a court of law (unless you were hanging with someone whose name is pronounced “hay-zoos”, which seems unlikely).
Other Rachel seems to belong to a different comic. Somehow her character design clashes with the rest of the cast. I wish we’d see more of her. Willis stated he likes her better than freckles-Rachel, so there must be more to her than just hanging out in the background.
I’m worried about how this investigation will affect the secrecy of Amber’s identity. People seem pretty oblivious, but hanging around for long periods of time in daylight, talking to everyone seems potentially problematic.
I really like this strip. It tells a lot just in five panels, has numerous jokes, and shows us a bit more about a number of different characters. Three thumbs up!
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.

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."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
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

O want to see more of them both.
FINISH HER!
Oh, Mary, you really are an example.
Well Jesus loves her, assuming he still exists that is.
That’s one of those “in spite of” rather than “because of” things.
That is pretty much the truth.
And now your Gravatar is Catalina?
Yup after she was hit the V5 setting on the TF Gun.
V5 Catalina has the best hair in the entirety of EGS.
I do like wild looking hair look.
He doesn’t. Remember, Galasso runs a restaurant in this continuity.
I somehow don’t think Historical Jesus from Shortpacked will be making an appearance in Dumbing of Age….
….but I really hope I’m wrong.
A bad example.
Nothing but eyerolls for Mary.
An example of omni-directional sarcasm so rampant it’s like trying to speak with a de-motivational poster only more pointless. Mike’s angle for spooking Amazigirl away was a lot more labored over.
ugh mary
Mary’s a bongo.
Watch where you’re going with those gender-charged epithets.
Mary’s a bastard.
Mary is under-appreciated for her hard work being an example for everyone.
oooohhhh-kaaayyy?
opus, why do you sometimes have your own gravatar, and sometimes have a mike gravatar?
Besides, calling Mary a bongo is unfair to dogs. Dogs can certainly be vicious, but they aren’t spiteful, hateful, hypocritical, self-righteous, and poisonous.
Even Mary’s mom said that Mary’s a bongo after a 2 hour labor
goddammit, I love you amber, but danny/ethan…
But loyal do what’s right Danny.
The answer is simple: They split into three groups of three: Danny, Ethan and Sal, Dorothy, Walky and Amber, and Billie, Ruth and Joyce. No problem, unless you don’t like threesomes or are straight.
dear god, why would you want joyce to get involved in billie and ruth’s relationship
just thinking about it is physically painful
Not quite sure why Ethan would want a threesome with a girl who took him hostage as a teen, either…
Danny would never agree to a polyamorous relationship. He’s a serial monogamist, remember?
So he’d be serially monogamous between two people on a short time scale. How’s that different?
I like Danny/Ethan/Amber as a throuple. Amber and Ethan are BFF’s, they could both perform sexes with Danny, not necessarily at the same time. Danny is really into both of them. It could be a good, loving triad. This messes up Jericho’s other groups, unless you have overlaps.
yes, it would be perfect
if not them, it still would be cool if david included some poly people at some point
’tis a long comic, after all
No comment from me. Oh wait……I just did.
I’m glad to see Amber is happy now.
Amber’s happiness is inverse proportionate to how happy she will be in the future.
So, when’s Blaine showing up again?
Not for a long time, campus security got a restraining order that prohibits him from entering the Campus.
And there’s nobody left for him to use to exploit her.
Hospitalization also limits his flexibility somewhat.
It’s been like 5 days now, I was only in for 13 after getting hit with a truck so you would think even a P*ssy like Blaine would be out after only getting beat up by a girl.
Depends what damage she did to him.
He hasn’t levelled in the Unkillable Bastard special, though.
There is that, as far as we know. The Willis could have levelled him while not on-camera.
So will the injuries Amber inflicted on him.
Those always work so well.
Her moods going to change when she see Danny hanging out with Sal or Ethan.
Hanging out with Sal would be a trigger. With Ethan, not so much, unless there was much more apparent than hanging out.
+100 internets for you
Man I want Mary to get hit by a Moon. Like an entire moon.
But that would end life for the rest of us, what were you thinking man?
Not if she’s ejected into space first.

I only did that because I thought anything but Lumberjanes would disappoint you; but yeah, that is most associated with Colossus throwing Wolverine.
It’s fine, I just said I hoped it was a Lumberjanes reference, as that would mean someone else has read it, and it’s a good comic!

DAWN OF THE THIRD DAY

But it would be a glorious way to die!
Thats one awesome game I sadly never finished
What do you mean I have to hold that face another 24 hours >_<
Moon, like an exposed butt?
Maybe he left off “pie”?
Not sure if it’s a good idea for Willis to create another possible disfunctional couple, especially if Mary is one of the said couple.
Who would want to date Mary in the first place?
Mary would.
The way Jamie Gumb would…”date himself?”
No, that would be against her religion
Mike would.
For a nickle.
I’m reasonably sure that even Mike would require enough money for a mind-cleansing case of beer, or just the beer, for a date with Mary.
The Great Faz would allow her to accompany him.
Get Zelretch on it, this won’t be the first time he’s dropped a moon on someone.
What if I have one that’s missing a “CHA” shape?
You know what, Yotomoe? I’m giving up on my hopes for a redemption character arc. I want Mary to get hit by a moon too.
Yes, but you are going to have to be more specific. Are you talking something like Luna, or really big like Titan, or tiny like Charon? Or in between like Phobos or Deimos? And WTF, I spelled all of those correctly on the first try?
I’m pretty sure that Phobos and Deimos are much smaller than Charon. Like, you could walk the whole way around them in several hours, whereas Charon is half the size of former-planet Pluto.
How about Nix? That one’s really small. Or any of the transient moons of Jupiter or Saturn?
According to this handy sortable list, the smallest moons in the solar system by radius are a shitload of Saturn’s and Jupiter’s moons, a few of Uranus’, and then Deimos. Nix is bigger than both Deimos and Phobos.
That can be arranged…all we need to do is teleport her to Termina!
How about a Moonie?
Please tell me I’m not the only one who thought Majora’s Mask on this. Someone? Anyone?
Runs the gamut of emotions, doesn’t it?
I’m reminded of the old theater review that claimed the lead actress “ran the gamut of emotions from A to B”. I think this one got to “K”.
That was Dorothy Parker on Katherine Hepburn. Nobody’s quite sure when she said it or what performance it was about.
Y’know, Mary’s a prick, but… I can sorta see where she’s coming from, given all the PROBLEM CHILDREN on her floor with PROBLEMS
I’d give her credit if she’d ever tried to help anyone and not just be a turbo-bongo.
True.
She helped Joyce decorate her door
Also true.
Which makes me feel conflicted, because I wouldn’t think Mary watched anime given the religious undertones present in so many of them.
Maybe she watched Superbook.
Pretty sure Mary just adopted How to Draw Manga style by osmosis, without having to actually watch anything. Easy to just see that shit in a bookstore* and co-opt it for your own nefarious uses.
*IF YOU CAN FIND ONE LOL
Doesn’t have to be religous. Animation os actually quite a usefull gene; you are not restricted by the normal limitations of actors, nor do you need to re-outfit your actors every day, making it ideal for more complex shows and movies.
The Hovertext implies it was a commission. Saying that’s helpful is like praising a Mcdonald’s employee for giving you your food.
You don’t do that? They need the praise, that kind of job is soul sucking.
By “praise,” do you mean a sincere Thank You, or a drawing of a random cartoon character saying “You Da Best”?
Whatever you can manage makes their days a little bit easier.
I feel like I should do that, but that would mean patronizing a McDonalds and enabling the abuse to continue =/
also, paying money for shit “food”
@Jen Aside: You should do this anytime you go to a fast food joint. (I refuse to call them restaurants.)
Mary is super nice and helpful to everyone when we’re not looking. We just only see her at her worst moments.
I disagree with Sarah. Rachel’s not that pretty.
Not a big fan of Mick Jagger lips myself.
… Yeah, my money’s on Mary drawing it.
Possibly to try to pin it on someone else. (I’m thinking Roz, but I could see others.)
Someone asked Willis on tumblr if Mary had any redeeming features, and he answered “She draws okay.” Granted, that could just be a reference to the fact she helped Joyce decorate, but still…
If I had to guess her motive, it would be just to make fun of all the other girls for being sluts. You know, because they all have so much sex with boys while Mary stays pure >.>
Canonically, she’s actually a pretty good artist.
So is the Other Rachel known as Other Rachel by her friends?
I always call myself the cool [REAL NAME] since there are two [REAL NAME]s in my class. Hasn’t caught on yet though.
You could be The Real [REAL NAME],
Would The Real [REAL NAME] please stand up, please stand up?
Slim Shady reference.
Correct! For 3pts!
No, her friends call her O.R.
Well this is a nice strip to lighten the mood
But it reminds you of how crushed Amber will be when she finds out about Danny’s attraction. Maybe all her adulation will soften the blow, or maybe it will make her feel even more isolated. Either way, shit’s going down.
Amber’s gaydar/bidar is really off…
It really isn’t.
She’s homing in on them just fine.
Mary is a god send. Bravo to her for setting the example.
A cautionary example.
Yeah, it was totally Mary.
Then the TWIST:
it was Other Rachel
or, maybe the Fazoli’s kid
Well, we don’t know for sure that Faz ever left the building. Maybe he’s still here. Waiting. Watching. Illustrating.
masturbating.
I did mean the actual Fazoli’s kid that Faz is based on… pretty sure Faz is still hogtied and in the lost and found or wherever Dina dumped him
Dina gave the Faz to Ruth.
(So he’s probably with Howard.)
O_O
*the sound of a clock ticking, gradually slowed down*
AAAAAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Amazi-girl is mor social than Amber, that’s funny when I think about it.
In that regards, Amber is like Kanako from Genshiken, they both become more confident when they cosplay.
She should take herself to the nearest con then, I bet money people will confuse her for a nother superhero.
Or Sewer Urchin whenever he’s back in the sewers. The apotheosis of cool.
Yeah, he was pretty cool in that episode of The Tick.
Oh yeah, cool, definitely cool.
“Citizen, I suspect you of being the Whiteboard Ding-Dong Bandit because Sarah said you were too pretty to be a good person.” And this is the person that is teaching Dina about social graces.
I’m noticing that Rachel #2 is the only person that Amazi-Girl doesn’t question in this strip. She was also the only person in the Clark wing that wasn’t in pajamas when the dubious door ding dongs were discovered (Gotta love alliteration), implying that she was awake earlier than the other girls. I think we can add a new suspect to the list
That’s a good point.
The ‘Truth’ is that nobody drew the wangs on the whiteboards, it was a mass miracle like when an image of Jesus appears on your toast but dickier.
They must all have a really keen eye to be able to see that on a blank board.
Psychic Paper Whiteboards?
http://www.amazon.com/Burnt-Impressions-Penis-Novelty-Toaster/dp/B00C7ADCE2
What they say:
* Toast Images of a Penis on Bread
* Two Slice Novelty Toaster
* Final Assembly in Vermont USA
* White Toaster with Color Accents
What I read:
* Toast Images of a Penis on Bread
* Toast. Images. Of a Penis. On Bread.
* Toast Images of a Penis. On Bread.
* TOAST IMAGES OF A PENIS ON BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
Dunkin’ Donuts won’t be taking credit for *that* one.
Look I know everyone was super psyched about the kissing stuff, but Amazi-Girl running around investigating peeners like some sort of porn spinoff Batman is where it’s at.
Now I agree with Amber/Amazi-girl how come her first investigation has to be about finding out who’s drawing dick all over her dorm?
It’s not her first investigation.
We first saw her investigating who spiked Joyce’s drink.
So AmaziGirl leaves out Dorothy and Sierra? Dorothy I get but why not Sierra?
Maybe because Sierra’s parents tried to intervene with her dad, so she knows Sierra is Good People? Or she did it off screen?
I’m not trying to sound trite or anything, those are my best guesses. Also Sierra’s barefoot all the time, so clearly she’s harmless.
Also what are Grace and Mandy’s orientations exactly?
Upright?
They’re either LUGs or lesbians.
LUGs? I’m not up on my marginalized community lingo.
LGBT community*, I don’t know why I said the other thing.
LUG = Lesbian Until Graduation, a term for otherwise straight girls who experiment with lesbianism during college/uni.
“Lesbians until graduation”, a somewhat disparaging term for a woman who has woman-woman relationships during college, but pursues relationship with men after that. Depending on who you ask, LUGs are straight women engaging in experimentation, bisexual women, or “fake” lesbians.
they were bi in the other universe, along with sierra and marcie, so I’m guessing they’re still bi here
Way to not sound sarcastic and suspicious Mary…. you bongo….
“Students, eh? Love ’em or hate ’em, you can’t hit them with a shovel!”
-Terry Pratchett, Making Money
It was totally Mary.
TWIST:
It was RONALD REAGAN
I LOVE YOU.
BTZZZZ! Wrong it can only be Richard “Tricky Dicky” Nixon.
Only “Tricky Dick” indeed.
A young Reagan maybe.
I proffer, dupable and naive citizen, that it is time this country stopped blaming Reagan for all its problems.
Not ALL, just this one!
Enough of these ink dink shenanigans, the people demand Ethan and Danny adorable awkwardness!
-Six months later after Willis has milked the heck out of the tension-
Oh my gosh they finally kissed! …Wait, what do you mean now they have to work out their feelings even more for another year’s worth of strips before they finally maybe start talking about getting together? ;_;
Not me! I Still don’t like Ethan and I’m not exactly the biggest fan of Danny.
but… CHEMISTRY
GEEKINESS I CAN IDENTIFY WITH
IT’S THE PERFECT SHIP
I’m a sucker for relationships. All relationships. They all need to happen. All of them. All the time.
Well, I’m a sucker for all consensual healthy relationships between adults anyway. THEY all need to happen. All of them. All the time.
But the Ethanny ship could fix that. No more beards, no more self deception, no more using people, no more complete obliviousnous to something right in front of you the entire time for weeks, just hot dudes makin’ out and being geeky!
Will somebody please think of poor Amber completely snapping if that happens? She actually flat out asked Danny if he’s gay after her misadventure with Ethan. If Danny leaves her FOR Ethan… Hoo boy!
Straight up.
1) Amber isn’t THAT fragile.
2) Amber’s the one who will most likely be ending it
3) She deserves to be dumped anyway (the lying and manipulating are terrible foundations to build a relationship on)
4) Amber wants Ethan to be accepting of himself and happy, Danny has all the qualities of a good person to make Ethan happy and comfortable with himself.
5) Amber thinks guy on guy is really hot. The idea of Danny and Ethan doing anything will probably prevent coherent thought and send her into horny incoherency.
Okay, when did Amber ever say she wants Ethan to be accepting of herself?
Accepting of himself.
You’re an example to us all, Mary. Just like Goofus.
Would Joyce be Gallant then?
Actually, yes. I thought about having that in there too, but figured it sounded better the way I have it.
I read a pretty great Goofus and Gallant slash fic once. Good times.
“Goofus pulls out and makes Gallant sleep on the wet spot”?
http://verywrongslash.livejournal.com/507.html
Nsfw, I guess I should point that out, lol
Ruth and Billie were actually named as suspects, weren’t they? That interrogation’s gonna be interesting.
Ruth is left handed so she’s out, for the same reason as Dorothy.
TBH they aren’t necessarily “out”–it’s just less expected to be them for the reason AG states.
Which seems weird to me, because how is it that much easier for a righty to draw faces facing left but dicks facing right [for instance]? Then again, I’ve gotten used to just drawing things whichever way because paper.
Well, don’t you usually draw the outline of the cheek and chin first (or forehead, nose and chin if it’s 90-degre profile), before you proceed on to fill in the actual facial features? That’s left-to-right order if the character is facing the left, which is how right-handed people learn to do things. For that matter, if you draw said outline starting from top to bottom, the curve swings in the direction that your right hand’s fingers and wrist bend anyway, offering less resistance compared to drawing a curve in the opposite direction.
Yesh, it feels easier to draw both (dicks and faces) facing the same direction… dunno, still feels like “Bugs Meany’s Gonna Walk”
I don’t keep up with the thread comments very consistently, so forgive me if this theory has already been stated:
I’m leaning towards Dina being the culprit.
Seeing Mike drawing dicks on Joyce’s whiteboard, she spent the evening emulating “juvenile prank behavior”. Improving at the anatomy with each drawing and finishing with Joyce’s door, she realizes that she had been drawing with a permanent marker the whole time. She doesn’t come clean because nobody has asked her if she was the culprit directly, which nobody does because she’s an unlikely suspect.
Also from a writing perspective, it’s funniest/most interesting if the culprit is one of the few characters Sarah *didn’t* list as a suspect (and also someone that the audience wouldn’t expect right away).
Dina would have admitted it once she realised people were upset by it.
Dina: “Rebels enjoy pulling a stunt and lying about it in order to deceive others.”
*tries it*
“Is this what rebelling feels like?”
…yeah, I’m not feeling it.
Several people in the comments have suspected Dina already though, and I doubt it is her. She would have observed how Mike doing so UPSET Joyce and how Sarah doing it too had the same effect.
Dina thinks very logically so I imagine her she would have connected the drawing of male anatomy with upsetting people, even if she didn’t know why it upset them. So logically, she has very little reason to do so.
I imagine it is more likely that she saw who did it – and just didn’t say so because she wasn’t asked, because it requires good knowledge of social cues to understand when to give such information – something she lacks.
I could see Dina drawing a penis on Joyce’s board, Dina isn’t above spite, but the whole floor is too far.
Dinosaurs don’t have penises, so Dina would have no interest in one. Well maybe clinically…
I don’t dislike Danny. He is just a typical clueless US teen, with a bit more cluelessness than some. He’s not a bad guy. Just sorta, there.
Agree. I don’t like Ethan based on his previous behavior(s).
I think he needs a friend to come out of the closet with, maybe Danny is a good choice. The two of them can live in a big closet.
a walk-in closet with a revolving door?
A walk in closet with five revolving doors – got to have spare doors for when friends watch to join them.
“You’re totally that one girl that lives here”
Well, that’ll narrow it down to about several dozen people.
Mike did it, at least by proxy, imo.
Hm, I read all the comments, but I seem to be the only person that doesn’t understand this comic. Now I feel really dumb.
amber’s going around questioning suspects
No, you should have asked if he didn’t understand the comic or just this particular strip and then it would have been super-funny. Or not…
Haha! If I have been reading the comic all these years and not getting it, I don’t think I ever will.
Heheh, if your names were to be rendered in Japanese, they would both sound the same.
Trufacts! (TM)
What about it do you not understand? Maybe we can help.
Well, some stuff like why anyone thinks she might be other Rachel…do they think her hair is a wig or something? How would that even work? And is there any connection between Mandy guessing other Rachel and the fact that the previous panel had AG and other Rachel interacting?
But mainly the last panel. I have no idea what was said just before that, or what was about to be said, or why AG suddenly doesn’t want to say it.
“Well, some stuff like why anyone thinks she might be other Rachel…do they think her hair is a wig or something? How would that even work?”
Could be. There are a LOT of convincing cosplays [and CROSS-plays].
“And is there any connection between Mandy guessing other Rachel and the fact that the previous panel had AG and other Rachel interacting?”
No. That’s just a cut, because actually showing AG walk between each characters’ rooms is unnecessary filler. The pacing of the comic as Willis decided to portray this sequence of interviews best suited to Mary > Other Rachel > Grace/Mandy > Rachel.
“I have no idea what was said just before that, or what was about to be said, or why AG suddenly doesn’t want to say it.”
Ah, continuity: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/shakedown/
Help?
I had a hard time getting it too, so I went back to the strips with Sarah and found this one http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/shakedown/
So, yeah, that’s what it’s referencing.
Sarah said that Rachel is too pretty to be a good person.
And Other Rachel is about the right height and build, and that hair is obviously a wig. Nobody has hair like that. You don’t seriously think it’s Sal, do you?
When Willis showed off the redesigned DoA version of Other Rachel, he mentioned he gave her purple hair because she’d be too physically similar to Amber otherwise. Of the girls in Clark, she’s the one who’s closest in Amber in build and height.
Mary you’re a transparent lying bongo.
This is the strip where Sarah says what Rachel is to prety to be. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/shakedown/
Too pretty to be what?
“Too pretty to be a good person.” That’s what Sarah said, go back a few strips.
Wow, I definitely did not remember that. Way more than “a few” strips back, though. Thanks, I was so confused!
I just went back to the start of the chapter to find out what Sarah said. So, yeah, a bit more than “a few”. Did you know this in-comic day has been going on since early July? :O
It’s the other Rachel, she did it. I’m calling it.
Still leaning towards Walky. He’s just immature enough and he drew the biggest dick on Joyce’s door.
I dunno, have you seen his dinosaur masterpiece?
Goddamn it Mary
Goddamn Mary, Indeed!!!
I it was Marcie.
I’m not sure Grace is a likeable person. Redhead Leslie on the other hand… yes, totally likeable.
Grace just looks intimidating. She seems like an alright gal.
damn, mandy does look like leslie
Is it actually possible to figure out who the bandit is? Like are there clues in the strips savy readers can discover?
That’s for Willis to know and for you to find out
[or not, ’cause it’s WILLIS]
We won’t know until the culprit is revealed.
It was Colonel Mustard in the hall with the Sharpie.
Surely it was Mrs. WHITEboard
or Mrs. PeaCOCK
Dicks, dicks on the side of my face!
I’m joining the Other Rachel theory. She wants to be Amazi-Girl, but since she can’t be her, she decided to become her nemesis instead. By drawing male anatomy on whiteboards.
Amazi-Girl is voiced by Christian Bale and Other Rachel is voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. <– My new headcanon.
It’s Mary. CALLING IT NOW!
Anyone else think Mike and Mary would have the most apocalyptically powerful hatefuck?
Unlike Mike, I don’t think Mary is turned on by her antipathies.
Then why does she keep going on about them?
Also hatefucks are misnomers
Not really, there are people that do not like each other in the slightest who will nail each other when faced with a stiff breeze. The don’t fight so much as collide with their genitals. And it is mentioned on TV Tropes. Frequently.
Well if they do it on tv, it must be true then.
tv tropes is also a misnomer
they cover more than tv, and real life examples of tropes are often included in the articles
Uh Mary I’m not sure “Jesus is my alibi” will hold up in a court of law (unless you were hanging with someone whose name is pronounced “hay-zoos”, which seems unlikely).
I don’t see Amazi-girl wearing no black muumuu.
No but I would totally watch a “judge Judy” type show with amazi-girl as the dispenser of justice, that would be amazing, no pun intended.
It’s the Head Alien.
The purple-haired, red lipped glasses girl’s design is really starting irritate me for some reason.
She looks like a Piplup.
Other Rachel seems to belong to a different comic. Somehow her character design clashes with the rest of the cast. I wish we’d see more of her. Willis stated he likes her better than freckles-Rachel, so there must be more to her than just hanging out in the background.
I’m worried about how this investigation will affect the secrecy of Amber’s identity. People seem pretty oblivious, but hanging around for long periods of time in daylight, talking to everyone seems potentially problematic.
It’s good to see her legitimately happy, though.
Too pretty to be what? I don’t have past comics memorized……
I am also confused.
“…Rachel’s too pretty to be a good person.”
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/shakedown/
Awesome, thanks!
I really like this strip. It tells a lot just in five panels, has numerous jokes, and shows us a bit more about a number of different characters. Three thumbs up!
…one of those thumbs is actually a dick, isn’t it
So who broke Monday’s update?
What is the thought process of assuming she is the Other Rachel “with the purple hair”…when she’s standing in front of them with brown hair?…
Wigs?
Clark Kenting
Man, what a b-word.
I think we’re finding out that Amazi-girl isn’t the “Batman” she thinks she is.
Not a mary fan by any means but I love her clothes!
