Awww i wished i’d known about the poll too….. it does surprise me too that that’s the result considering the set up for it…. unless he has another set up and that’s just a decoy…..
Sarah’s defeatism seems to be the real issue here. Her soul being a Dark Pit of Nothing (my, how Goth) has more to do with what a shrink would tell her (which she could dismiss with ‘that’s not what Raidah thinks’ excuse, I’m sure) is a fear of success. Sooo much pressure when you stop writing yourself off as a lost cause. Oh the horrors of it all.
“Abandon all hope”—if you remember Paul Southworth’s Krazy Larry, I believe the eponymous character once requested that tattooed on his ass.
I rather miss that comic; I seem to recall reading it around the first time I started reading Willis (I forget whether it was Roomies or It’s Walky at that point).
I was actually referring to Adam Warren’s “Dirty Pair” – the character Yuri got the phrase I quoted tattooed on her abdomen just below her belly button, with an arrow pointing downward.
That was one of my favorite jokes in that whole comic.
For this and many other reasons (particularly ones pertaining to willingness to employ extreme violence in pursuit of what’s right), Sarah reminds me of the protagonist from Drive, and Joyce is her “Irene”.
That always kinda got me. Slowly digested over a thousand years? That’s not actually very threatening. I mean, you’d die of old age long before you’d die of being eaten by the sarlacc. You could probably climb out before your eyes started to sting.
Actually, part of what made it such an awful fate (and why Jabba punished people with it instead of just killing them), was that the sarlacc keeps you alive throughout the entire process.
One story even had Fett in there conversing with the disembodied consciousness of a previous victim, meaning even when you finally die you aren’t free.
Having poor memory on the Sarlacc, Boba’s fall in, and too much laziness to check out Wookiepedia, doesn’t he got guns?
Can’t he just, like, use his awesome bounty hunter armor full a’ weapons an’ a jetpack to eventually claw his way outta there?
It’s also unclear how the sarlacc could survive like that. A lion eats an average 10–15 lbs of meat per day. The sarlacc has a much slower metabolism? All right, but even a cold-blooded reptile like a very large crocodile, probably the carnivorous champion of long fasts, has to eat every 12–18 months at the very least (and then it gorges itself on something like a zebra, a significant proportion of its own body weight). With an incredibly slow rate of digestion, the sarlacc would presumably have to make up for that with volume of victims, which (a) raises its own problems of how it manages to sustain the glands and intestines needed, and (b) seems pretty unlikely in a desert.
Presumably, the Sarlacc also gets regular meals consisting of bantha herds, dewbacks, and wandering Tusken Raiders. I also seem to recall that most Sarlaccs live on worlds with significantly larger and richer wildlife populations, and that the one on Tattooine is a statistical anomaly.
Some day I’m going to write a 10,000 page book called “All the shit that’s wrong with Star Wars. Hell, just the huge, steaming heap of suck that was Episode 1, and just the droid army attack.
As a once and former Army Infantry type, I would have loved facing that droid army with two companies of Mech Infantry with a tank company in support.
Fucking droids would have been cut up into scattered parts before teh finished unfolding.
Well, in the defence of the Confederates, they were up against what would eventually become storm troopers. I assume most armies in Star Wars have some sort of Mutually Assurred Incompetance Policy which means no matter how ridiculous and shitty their army is, the other guys will be about as bad.
I think it might be because the only interaction she has had with Jacob is telling him about Joyce’s weirdass stuff and she wasn’t willing to share more with him.
Here I was going to say that while she is entirely functional she clearly has at the very least a bit of self loathing to deal with. i.e. There is nothing inherently good about me but I can still be of use.
Grrrffff, I feel I am over stating what I meant with the “nothing inherently good about me” comment, I more meant that she seems to feel as though she is lacking something in the “goodness” department.
Thank you for posting that link. I was trying to remember their conversation.
The webcomic pacing combined with the constant jumping around make it hard to keep track of what’s going on unless one is willing to mine the archives every few days.
Not to mention amazigirl’s interrogation of her where Sarah manages to talk shit about almost everyone on her floor, that probably didn’t leave the best impression.
I’m trying to decide whether to Google translate that or swap to something I can read hover text with… But I’m to lazy, so I guess I’ll do neither and instead comment on peoples’ hover text reading privilege.
Other Jacob can stay up all night, and you won’t have to sleep in the wet spot.
You won’t find out later that Other Jacob is married/is on penicillin/likes you – but loves your brother!
Other Jacob doesn’t care what time of the month it is.
Other Jacob never wants to get it on when your nails are wet.
Other Jacob won’t say “Let’s keep trying until we have a boy”.
Other Jacob won’t tell you size doesn’t count.
Other Jacob won’t leave you for a cheerleader or an ex-nun.
Other Jacob won’t fall asleep on your chest or drool on the pillow.
Other Jacob won’t care if you make more money than he does.
With Other Jacob, the toilet seat is always the way you left it.
I feel so sad for Sarah! Willis, give us a flashback to Sarah before everything went to hell with her first-year roommate. I need to see her smiling and confident, if she ever was…
He’s already given us a flashback to before everything went to hell – the same flashback that showed things going to hell. It included a brief “before” section.
One part of me wants Jacob to help her come out of her shell. Another part wants to let her make her own decisive about this kind of thing. Then the first part insists “No one wants to be alone.” Then the second part counters that it’s her choice, and the result is I’m just really confused and I’m not sure what I want to see for this character.
Fuck that, I’m going with the unpopular opinion and encouraging her to get out more. With Jacob or anybody. Staying inside and isolated takes a toll on you.
I feel like there’s a difference between staying isolated because you don’t enjoy dealing with other people and staying isolated because you’re sure other people will hate you. I’m not saying the former is never true of Sarah, but I’m definitely seeing the latter in this particular strip, and I would like someone to help her with that.
I mean, she’s not alone alone. She’s got a friend, a few acquaintances/neighbors. Regularly attends lectures with her classmates. Perfectly comfortable place for a lot of people’s social lives to be.
Really the issue is less that she’s alone and more that there a few too many unwelcome presences in her life. Individuals who antagonize her whenever they encounter eachother in public space. Because of that and trust issues she’s hesitant to engage the people in her life as much as she’d like to.
But really, just recently Sarah was asked about the people on her floor and knew them all well enough to have formed opinions about them. Less than a month into classes. She’s not some shut-in cut off from the general population. She very much exists as a part of the larger community, and the larger community very much maintains a presence in her life that she feels and is aware of.
What are you talking about? Amazing Amber has a mystery to sink her teeth into, has discovered the affermation of her fans and has sexy times with her boyfriend to round it out. Good day. Ethan gets to flirt with Danny without revealing himself and seems to throughly enjoy it. Ruth and Billie and demon drink are finally reunited. Sal connects with her brother who finally gets it. Danny gets to discover new things about himself, discover that things are still good with him and Amazing Amber and explore the Amazing sex. Dorothy discovers a bump in her world view when she finds she wants more emotionaly from Walky than she thought she did. If not a good day, an interesting one where she learned something, which be her standards is a pretty good day. Walky reconnects with his biological sister and even though he doesn’t know it yet get’s his old Billie back.
Now I grant you there are plenty of seeds there for future bad days, but today, no today, today was a good day.
*tents fingers* Excellent…now when Jacob continues to wish to spend time with her, she will have to hide both her surprised delight at that fact, and her annoyance at being wrong.

Hey, this option wasn’t on the poll.
I want to see “Sarah Performs A Loneliness And Joyce Scrubs Herself With Lye While Praying So She Can Feel Clean Again”.
This option is a pole all to itself IF YOU KNOWUTIMEAN????
You meant poll right or was that a pun?
sigh
Le sigh!
sooooooo… her soul is her vagina?
Well it is womby enough to store one there.
Even after two years, that was fucking heinous.
funnier than the actual comic
Can I change my vote?
This option happens whether we like it or not
There was a poll.
Yesterday, on whether we wanted Amber/Danny or Sal/Jason to be the next Slipshine.
Ffff I missed that. Who won?
Amber/Danny, much to Willis’ surprise.
I think it’s that post-It’s Walky! fans have been given lots more basis to care about Danny and Amber and Sal than about Jason.
Awww i wished i’d known about the poll too….. it does surprise me too that that’s the result considering the set up for it…. unless he has another set up and that’s just a decoy…..
Idk.
Oh darn. I would have voted Sal/Jason. Too bad I missed that.
Joyce may never feel clean again, if only brain bleach was a real product.
In some circles, it’s call “whisky”.
That doesn’t always work though.
Oh, too soon…
You kidding? I’d lay even odds she wants to watch versus is horrified by it.
Only if it was dorothy.
She wants to make the noises while Sarah pushes them around.
Where’s a mindwiper when you need one, eh?
oh THAT other Jacob
“Other Jacob” deserves to have his own character tag.
Just what I came in here to say. >_>
+1
+2
Amen.
It’s official, I have nothing original to say, just have to wait for other people to say it.
he knows the deepest darkest parts of sarah…..
thinking back a few years i wish some one could say that about me
I’m sure some “thing” could.
Aw Sarah, don’t give up. Someone out there is your match.
Mike?
Nah, Mike only hatefucks if’n it’s mutually beneficial.
Though you must admit, their mutual hatred of everything could bring them together, if they weren’t too busy hating everything.
Nah, he’d probably cause MORE trouble for Sarah.
There’s an AU Jacob for Sarah out there SOMEWHERE
…unfortunately, in an alternate universe…
Sarah’s defeatism seems to be the real issue here. Her soul being a Dark Pit of Nothing (my, how Goth) has more to do with what a shrink would tell her (which she could dismiss with ‘that’s not what Raidah thinks’ excuse, I’m sure) is a fear of success. Sooo much pressure when you stop writing yourself off as a lost cause. Oh the horrors of it all.
While I think this is a natural tendency of Sarah’s, I also think the scars from the last time she tried getting along with people are still fresh in her mind. It has to be unpleasant to know that the girl who told you that you could come out of your shell and let people be nice to you is now actively warning people away from you.
If I was a girl, that’s what I’d call my lady business.
Other Jacob?
You still have a perfectly reasonable dark pit, though you’ll need another Other Jacob without the rabbit attachment to probe it properly.
That’s what Clive Cussler calls it… no wait, that’s Dirk Pitt.
“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here” ?
“Abandon all hope”—if you remember Paul Southworth’s Krazy Larry, I believe the eponymous character once requested that tattooed on his ass.
I rather miss that comic; I seem to recall reading it around the first time I started reading Willis (I forget whether it was Roomies or It’s Walky at that point).
I was actually referring to Adam Warren’s “Dirty Pair” – the character Yuri got the phrase I quoted tattooed on her abdomen just below her belly button, with an arrow pointing downward.
That was one of my favorite jokes in that whole comic.
Oh, Sarah.
Did she carry that thing around with her all day?
Great gravatar for the comment, dude.
Context.
Awesome.
“With” is probably the wrong preposition.
For this and many other reasons (particularly ones pertaining to willingness to employ extreme violence in pursuit of what’s right), Sarah reminds me of the protagonist from Drive, and Joyce is her “Irene”.
http://instantrimshot.com/
Probably harder to do solo.
Poor Other Rachel.
Where he’ll be slowly digested over a thousand years.
ARe you suggesting that Sarah’s vag is a sarlacc?
Then she should call the dildo Boba.
Incidentally, since Disney decided the entire Star Wars Expanded Universe is no longer canon, Boba’s still down there.
I don’t remember where I read that, but I think Lucas eventually OK’d the notion of Boba getting out.
Boba does have a jectpack and sarlaccs do take forever to digest, so it’s reasonable for him to make it out somehow.
That always kinda got me. Slowly digested over a thousand years? That’s not actually very threatening. I mean, you’d die of old age long before you’d die of being eaten by the sarlacc. You could probably climb out before your eyes started to sting.
Actually, part of what made it such an awful fate (and why Jabba punished people with it instead of just killing them), was that the sarlacc keeps you alive throughout the entire process.

Having poor memory on the Sarlacc, Boba’s fall in, and too much laziness to check out Wookiepedia, doesn’t he got guns?
Can’t he just, like, use his awesome bounty hunter armor full a’ weapons an’ a jetpack to eventually claw his way outta there?
I wonder if this was made clear in the movies or if it’s just an Expanded Universe thing. There’s a distinction.
It’s also unclear how the sarlacc could survive like that. A lion eats an average 10–15 lbs of meat per day. The sarlacc has a much slower metabolism? All right, but even a cold-blooded reptile like a very large crocodile, probably the carnivorous champion of long fasts, has to eat every 12–18 months at the very least (and then it gorges itself on something like a zebra, a significant proportion of its own body weight). With an incredibly slow rate of digestion, the sarlacc would presumably have to make up for that with volume of victims, which (a) raises its own problems of how it manages to sustain the glands and intestines needed, and (b) seems pretty unlikely in a desert.
Presumably, the Sarlacc also gets regular meals consisting of bantha herds, dewbacks, and wandering Tusken Raiders. I also seem to recall that most Sarlaccs live on worlds with significantly larger and richer wildlife populations, and that the one on Tattooine is a statistical anomaly.
Maybe it’s solar powered.
Some day I’m going to write a 10,000 page book called “All the shit that’s wrong with Star Wars. Hell, just the huge, steaming heap of suck that was Episode 1, and just the droid army attack.

No comment from me…….wait………DAMMIT!
According to his Twitter account, more porn, so yay!
I’m just surprised that we haven’t seen more Sarah x Other Jacob shippers yet.
That’s because the only cargo-ship they support is Joyce X Sal’s Bike.
Sal’s bike x Amazi-stool 5EVER
JUST WAIT UNTIL MY KICKSTARTER COMMISSION GOES THROUGH
unless Willis nixes it ’cause lolwhut
*looks*
okay that may take some interesting staging to accomplish
“Interesting” is the best!
This might be my new favorite hovertext.
There’s no tag for Other Jacob.
Dark Pit, I like that…
No seriously I found that slightly amusing in a self-deprecative way.
Sarah isn’t the type to call it a Twinkle Cave.
My mind first went to Kid Icarus. *insert lewd joke below*
A different kind of hatefuck.
Well…THAT was unexpected.
Where does she get the idea he hates her ? Is there something I missed?
I think it might be because the only interaction she has had with Jacob is telling him about Joyce’s weirdass stuff and she wasn’t willing to share more with him.
Here is an example of why she thinks this could be the case.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/04-the-whiteboard-dong-bandit/joycestories/
Here I was going to say that while she is entirely functional she clearly has at the very least a bit of self loathing to deal with. i.e. There is nothing inherently good about me but I can still be of use.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/02-i-was-a-teenage-churchmouse/talk-3/
I have the feeling that there is the unstated meaning there of “my” words change things.
Grrrffff, I feel I am over stating what I meant with the “nothing inherently good about me” comment, I more meant that she seems to feel as though she is lacking something in the “goodness” department.
Sarah isn’t just a miss, she’s a pesimiss.
Okay I may have to steal that in the future.
=^_^=
Penis-a-miss?
Sorry, Plas. I ruin everything.
Penis-a-miss sounds like the depression a guy feels after he loses his weiner.
Penis-a-miss sounds like a racist was to say an Italian went in the wrong hole
*Jen Aside, killer of conversations*
Thank you for posting that link. I was trying to remember their conversation.
The webcomic pacing combined with the constant jumping around make it hard to keep track of what’s going on unless one is willing to mine the archives every few days.
Not to mention amazigirl’s interrogation of her where Sarah manages to talk shit about almost everyone on her floor, that probably didn’t leave the best impression.
Heyyyy, what happened to Ambanny/Damber/AmaziDanny/Damazigirl?
Slipshine happened
Oh! Oh! That’s a slipshine I’d like to…. Um, investigate.
*reaches for wallet*
DAMN YOU WILLIS!!
Meh, I should have expected a cut to another scene, lol.
Ha, Joyce, and you touched it.
First :Eww Second : Sarah with her, ” Everyone hates me and I hate everyone attitude. ” Does anyone know anybody like this in real life ?
sadly, yes
fortunately, Misery Guts is out of our lives now
People like that tend to get nicknames like Grumblebum.
No tag for Other Jacob?
Well, not an actual character, but I’m still waiting the next appearance of Squirrel.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/02-i-was-a-teenage-churchmouse/crankier/
At what point in the conversation do you think she decided, ‘yep, that’s how I’m ending this.’
If you mean cutting off Joyce because she needs quality alone time, that was probably decided before she got back to the room.
If you mean with a returning to the phrase “dark pit” with a play on the meaning… I have no clue… Is anyone that witty irl??!! TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!
Other words not to confuse: Catamite, Catamount.
Catamaran, Cathode Ray Tube, Cataloupe.
Cat Stevens
Hard to get by just upon a smile, so Sarah doesn’t bother.
… … … … …
._ _ …. ._ _ _. _ _ _ ._.. . _ _ . ._. _ _ _
Does that translate into anything?
“What, no letter O?”
Well there may be no letter but I’m sure Sarah is planning on supplying her own O soon enough.
Maybe someone will find this useful:
http://195.16.247.24/src/morse.c
-.. .-. .- .– .. -. –. .- -… .-.. .- -. -.- .. … . .
Morse code AND hypertext? You monster!
At least the hypertext was a translation of the Morse Code.
I’m trying to decide whether to Google translate that or swap to something I can read hover text with… But I’m to lazy, so I guess I’ll do neither and instead comment on peoples’ hover text reading privilege.
or ignore it because internet comments?
So i guess this means the next few strips are going to be all about people making “plans” who’s next?
Honest question time: Would Sarah be considered a nihilist?
Nah, she has very strict moral principles. She’s just a hardcore pessimist.
‘Kay, good to know. Thanks a bunch, LiaHansen.
Don’t give up, Sarah. Jacob digs you when you let your sass out.
I thought it was like “Other Barry” for a moment, there…
But it was worse!
omg, space android Jacob with dissociative identity disorder.
There is room for one more over in Ruth/Billie land.
I feel like this comic is jumping around between characters like an overcaffeinated ferret right now. Stop the ride, you’re making me dizzy!
Be good, Strain Of Thought, be good!
I think he’s trying to finish off the chapter so that he can move on to next week.
Oh, I didn’t know Sarah played Kid Icarus: Uprising!
/playing dumb
Either way, she’s gonna hurt her wrist.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE
Willis, you forgot to tag Other Jacob.
OMG I hope that becomes a tag
I know I should have expected a scene change, yet I’m still disappointed.
ah, Sarah’s doing the ol’ “welp he wanted me to open up a little so i’ve given up COMPLETELY” thing ain’t she?
I just realized that I can’t figure out if Sarah has as much self loathing as I think or if I am projecting.
Oh! For a moment I thought Ethan was the other Jacob. Because Joyce has met him.
Good old Other Jacob…he’ll never leave you. Plus it won’t take him 2 hours to find the clitoris.
Other Jacob can stay up all night, and you won’t have to sleep in the wet spot.
You won’t find out later that Other Jacob is married/is on penicillin/likes you – but loves your brother!
Other Jacob doesn’t care what time of the month it is.
Other Jacob never wants to get it on when your nails are wet.
Other Jacob won’t say “Let’s keep trying until we have a boy”.
Other Jacob won’t tell you size doesn’t count.
Other Jacob won’t leave you for a cheerleader or an ex-nun.
Other Jacob won’t fall asleep on your chest or drool on the pillow.
Other Jacob won’t care if you make more money than he does.
With Other Jacob, the toilet seat is always the way you left it.
I want an other Jacob too :'(
Well, I’ve heard they have that thing called “The Internet” nowadays!
I don’t think the internet is as satisfying as Other Jacob =V
But you can get the other Jacob on the internet.
Joyce just swallowed her tongue. 8^)
let’s hope she doesn’t choke
[insert lewd comment about swallowing other things]
I feel so sad for Sarah! Willis, give us a flashback to Sarah before everything went to hell with her first-year roommate. I need to see her smiling and confident, if she ever was…
He’s already given us a flashback to before everything went to hell – the same flashback that showed things going to hell. It included a brief “before” section.
Sarah has never been all that peppy and outgoing.
Sarah, you really need to find some conversation topics other than Joyce and dildos. Get a hobby.
She has hobbies!
Joyce and dildos.
very good hobbies that if said constantly can cure the boner shortage in the world
despite Viagra, I’m pretty sure there is, in fact, no shortage of boners
ROTFLMAO
BWAAAAAHAHAHAH!!!!
XD
WHY ISN’T “OTHER JACOB” A TAG NOW?!?
One part of me wants Jacob to help her come out of her shell. Another part wants to let her make her own decisive about this kind of thing. Then the first part insists “No one wants to be alone.” Then the second part counters that it’s her choice, and the result is I’m just really confused and I’m not sure what I want to see for this character.
Fuck that, I’m going with the unpopular opinion and encouraging her to get out more. With Jacob or anybody. Staying inside and isolated takes a toll on you.
Going out and interacting with people also takes a toll.
I feel like there’s a difference between staying isolated because you don’t enjoy dealing with other people and staying isolated because you’re sure other people will hate you. I’m not saying the former is never true of Sarah, but I’m definitely seeing the latter in this particular strip, and I would like someone to help her with that.
Lemme guess what a third part of you wants. A Slipshine comic?
I mean, she’s not alone alone. She’s got a friend, a few acquaintances/neighbors. Regularly attends lectures with her classmates. Perfectly comfortable place for a lot of people’s social lives to be.
Really the issue is less that she’s alone and more that there a few too many unwelcome presences in her life. Individuals who antagonize her whenever they encounter eachother in public space. Because of that and trust issues she’s hesitant to engage the people in her life as much as she’d like to.
But really, just recently Sarah was asked about the people on her floor and knew them all well enough to have formed opinions about them. Less than a month into classes. She’s not some shut-in cut off from the general population. She very much exists as a part of the larger community, and the larger community very much maintains a presence in her life that she feels and is aware of.
Jeez, everybody is hooking up in this web comic.
Is that a complaint?
Almost everybody around Joyce is having a bad day today. It’s sad.
What are you talking about? Amazing Amber has a mystery to sink her teeth into, has discovered the affermation of her fans and has sexy times with her boyfriend to round it out. Good day. Ethan gets to flirt with Danny without revealing himself and seems to throughly enjoy it. Ruth and Billie and demon drink are finally reunited. Sal connects with her brother who finally gets it. Danny gets to discover new things about himself, discover that things are still good with him and Amazing Amber and explore the Amazing sex. Dorothy discovers a bump in her world view when she finds she wants more emotionaly from Walky than she thought she did. If not a good day, an interesting one where she learned something, which be her standards is a pretty good day. Walky reconnects with his biological sister and even though he doesn’t know it yet get’s his old Billie back.
Now I grant you there are plenty of seeds there for future bad days, but today, no today, today was a good day.
Oh, Sarah. Yes, Jacob asking “How does someone get on your good side?” is clear evidence that he hates you, and not you projecting at all.
Lack of confidence this one has, is this because now that they can’t talk about Joyce she thinks there’s no way starte a conversation?
Can.. can we ship this?
Of course
I’ve filled out the forms for official shipping. Let’s do this
better make it ground–no good if it’s expedited
Depends on whether you define “shipping” as applying to relationships that are already official. Other Jacob and Sarah are already a thing.
Other Jacob and Joyce, on the other hand…
What if we wanna see Other Jacob wine and dine Sarah?
Pretty sure OTHER Jacob already knows her dark pit(s?) QUITE well
I just hope she washed it super thoroughly after Joyce’s nose
Oh nose!
Aww, she named it Jacob! That’s so cute!
There are no tears sweeter than bitter masturbatory fantasy tears… (yes, they’re bitter-sweet)
Ew.
Should be interesting if Joyce decides to give her a lecture about how masturbation is evil.
They already had that conversation, remember.
Hahaha Oh Sarah.
aaaaand cue Joyce trying to turn her around with the power of RRRRRRELIGION!!!!
*tents fingers* Excellent…now when Jacob continues to wish to spend time with her, she will have to hide both her surprised delight at that fact, and her annoyance at being wrong.
It will be adorable. Most…adorable…indeed.
Not every can make every night a sex night I guess.
Wait, was Sarah carrying that around with her all day? Or did it just appear in her hand?
unlike hammerspace, Sarah carries a small dimensional pocket of sex toys and rage.
Tomorrow we cut to Joyce nagging down Jacob’s door in an outrage, just like she did to Walky.
That was supposed to be ‘banging’
I preferred ‘nagging’ — it was a great description of what she did…
Cue random Jacob appearance.
Sarah is so educational.
