Hey, Amber probably wouldn’t mind if Ethan joined them for make-outs sessions. He was her high-school boyfriend after all and she talked about him being Hot.
An nobody will convince me that a Yaoi girl like her is ooposed to threesomes on principle.
So unless it makes Ethan feel weird …
I want Ethan to be happy. He’s a sweet, well-meaning guy…but, I think he could do much better than Danny (and when I say that, understand that I actually rather like Danny). It just requires the introduction of a new character….and given Willis, it is going to require a lot more drama and pain before poor Ethan is going to reach that state.
Most of the viable shipping canidates for Danny can do better then Danny. We’ll never get that poor boy sexed up if we wait for the equivalent Danny-Mate.
well it could be, i mean we don’t see his legs in the bottom half. He could be doing the pattended “ass out to your boner into a buffalo bill to avoid awkward questions”
Ted Levine will never escape the shadow of that role, but no one remembers that the Oracle in the Matrix movies was a vegetarian criminal bent on world domination in Leonard Part 6.
Damn, I don’t remember where I was going with this.
Is it relevant in the dumby-verse that in Shortpacked Jesus called Ethan on not following The (Talmudic) Laws? If he’s not religiously observant, can he BE “kosher” if he doesn’t “keep kosher”? Jesus seemed to think not.
I used to see a Jewish lady who described herself as “Kosh” and that there were others who were Kosher. She also had her own interpretation of the Law. For example, we spent one night in her motel room watching a video and sharing a veggie pizza and an order of chicken wings. Mixing meat and dairy — a distinct no-no if one is keeping Kosher, right? Well, she pointed out that the relevant wording in the Scriptures was something along the line of “not cooking a kid in its mother’s milk”, and stated that if anyone could show her a chicken that ever gave milk she would be more than happy to give up this particular pairing.
I’m still hoping for a polyamorous thing between these three where the straight girl who is best friends with the gay guy can share their doofy bi boyfriend.
Wait, that’s stupid. Amber is technically straight, and it would be polyandry, not polygamy.
But mmf threesomes are usually disappointing for the f involved if the ms are into each other at all. Then again, that’s her fetish, and she is anything but usual.
Polygamy is multiple marriage, as is polygyny. The difference is that polygyny is multiple wives specifically. In this case, no one would be getting married (unless that’s what you wanted to imply).
lol I guess with the Danny icon that was bound to happen. Idk, Santa seems like a catch. A bearded bear who brings me presents?
I mean. I’m a girl, but if I was Danny, I could do worse :p
Oh god I’m loving this moment right now, even if I’m still not shore about the entire Danny/Ethan thing I feel like I want this to get more akward…wait how about when they get there Joyce, Walky,Becky and Sal are all at the same restaurant. That would be perfect.
Amber never told Danny about the convenience store hold-up and what that has to do with Amazi-girl, did she? Danny asked her at some point about and she said she wasn’t ready to talk about it. And she was pretty defensive about the girls in Clark Wing knowing about her dad. Anyone think she might get pissed at Ethan and Danny for going behind her back to compare notes?
Ethan has every right to talk about the robbery, considering he was not only there but the one held at knife point. And her not talking about her dad got Danny kidnapped.
There are very few things people don’t have the right to talk about, and this is certainly not one of them.
My point was not that Ethan and Danny should not have compared notes, but rather that Amber purposefully and aggressively hides the weaker parts of herself (to her own self-detriment) and thus might not take kindly to the fact that they did share notes, however justified they were in doing so.
I know a way.
You could do a livestream of you watching a taping of drawing yesterdays O or the current comic. That way no spoilers.
That way you can still livestream the lecture part, and take questions.
( of course this means you have to record some of you working and pull them out 3months later )
If you did one for preview panels of a Slip-shine, It would also serve as powerful advertising for it. ( Assuming of course Slipshine is OK with that ) .
Actually, can someone offer an interpretation for Danny’s face (faaaaaaaaaaace) last panel?
It looks like a very happy smile to me. But then there is the tiny word bubble. And according to my calculations Danny should be a horrified and unsmiling puddle of goo on the ground right now. Halp explains!
It looks like a nervous smile to me. He’s trying to pretend to be happy about it but is actually horrified (because like, you know he wants Ethan so bad so it is happy in a way lol)
I read it in a different way. He was hoping for some more (bangy) time alone with Amber but it appears she has a different idea in mind. So he’s been cock-blocked, he wants to say something about it, but doesn’t know exactly what to say or how to say it.
My interpretation is that he’s floored to be with two people he’s super into, but at the same time nervous and a bit confused still because of the bi thing.
To me, that one of the DoA characters is taking what I presume is a lab science (oh please be chemistry or physics) is the most important part of this strip.
Dina and Mike need to interact at some point dammit! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. Also I find it pretty bizarre Mike and Amber have barely seen each other in this universe.
I feel like Mike would like Dina, or possibly respect her, or perhaps even respect her in some sense. She’s intelligent in what she’s passionate about and pretty perceptive, and when she isn’t (usually in social situations), she’s direct in how she asks questions and isn’t afraid to say that she doesn’t know something.
If not that, then Mike would probably work out quickly that his Asshole-Fu won’t work on her Dino-Jujutsu.
Mike is a deft manipulator of social norms to make you feel bad about your blind spots. Dina’s blind spot is dinosaurs, however inorder to exploit it Mike would need make her feel embarrassed about being obssed with them. Since Dina has no social norm framework to be embarrassed with, it’s like the question of the unstoppable force and the immovable object. If you follow MinutePhysics take, they just pass through each other with no interaction at all. Even if there was negative interaction there would likely be an Amazi-ng amount of fallout.
I’m torn. On one hand my brain is going “just ‘cuz he’s bi doesn’t mean Danny has to jump into bed with the first dude he was attracted to, bi people are usually monogamous and Danny’s a serial monogamist, he’d never treat Amber like that,” etc. On the other hand, hot damn do I wanna see Danny and Ethan together and Amber magically being cool with it. Polyamory or open relationship or whatever. Mostly I just want Ethan to be happy in this universe. Danny seems to make him really happy.
Yes! And of course he wouldn’t do that to Amber. But it’s dang tough when you’re already in a serious relationship with someone and you suddenly realize you are bi and that as a result of this relationship, that you love, and are happy with, you won’t be able to explore or experiment these new exciting feelings the way you might want to. And you feel terrible for even having them.
This happened to me, and I wasn’t unfaithful, but I ended up having to eventually end the relationship, just so I could have a period of experimentation before settling down.
I always hated Danny and now I like Danny and now I’ve come to realisation that I am just a girl version of Danny. I really didnt’ think out of all the cast members the one I would see myself in the most would be Danny…
I have never wanted an OT3 to work so badly before. Come on Danny you can date both of them and Amber and Ethan will be really close friends and nothing will ever be sad again.
I want this to happen but I also really don’t want it to happen.
Pros: Ethan comes out of closet, and cute times ensue.
Cons: Amber just got dumped for dudes AGAIN.
I feel like if it happens, I want it to be mutual. Amber starts falling for one person, and Danny is falling for Ethan, and so they decide it would be better to cut it off.
And Joyce isn’t apart of my Pro/Con list because Sad Joyce is not a pro, but it’s not a con either, because she needs to grow the fuck up.
Want to tell the story? The closest I’ve come is seeing a guy and girl I was hoping to date smiling at each other in a manner I interpreted as flirtatiously. It was a very long ways from Danny’s situation but it was awkward enough, with me standing there imagining several possible future scenarios similar to Danny’s situation.
How so? I did a quick websearch of Slipshine and it seems to be a pornographic comic strip. While Willis does do a few of those occasionally, since those are never actually in the main comic strip, I don’t see a connection. I don’t believe this current storyline is going in that direction, or anywhere near it, the way others seem to think. Could you elaborate?
Sometimes if you would like something to be true, you state it as if it is true. That’s all it is. And the slipshines are canon events, btw, just posted there and not here.
You get a subscription to slipshine, then you can access the whole site.
Yes, this storyline is going there, with someone. Willis has described drawing one recently ( look at the twitter ) That means no-fail , in 3 monthish, someones are getting laid. 3months DOA time can be between 1 and 3 days.
Ah, it’s good to see a true love triangle. You don’t get many of those. Normally you just get one of those things that people call love triangles which are really just love angles.
Loading ...
On one hand, I don’t want Ethan to get between Danny and Amber.
On the other hand, I really want Danny to get between Amber and Ethan.
Coming soon on Slipshine, ‘Danny Gets Between Amber and Ethan’.
Yes, please.
I really think it would be more realistic if Danny was between Amber and Ethan.
Thirded. Or Nthed, I’m not sure anymore.
“Danny tries to force an awkward threesome fantasy out of his mind while his two loves talk about nerd stuff or whatever over lunch”
Hey, Amber probably wouldn’t mind if Ethan joined them for make-outs sessions. He was her high-school boyfriend after all and she talked about him being Hot.
An nobody will convince me that a Yaoi girl like her is ooposed to threesomes on principle.
So unless it makes Ethan feel weird …
And hell, the whole thing could be staged somewhere where Joyce could look on disapprovingly.
Joyce’s Disapproval Face is watermarked subtly over every panel, scowling half-unseen at all the PMHP.
This.
OH MY GOD YES THIS THIS THIS
Coming soon! The Dumbing of Age remake of the film version of CABARET!
But will she wear the mask or not?
If Amber is the tugboat needed to get this ship to sail, then by all means: “toot toot!”
I am picturing your comment in a very literal way. It is hawtsome.
I’m pretty sure that’s how it was intended.
Perfect Gravatar for that comment.
I’m sure he wants that too.
What’s important is that Amber sees.
This will start off the “Dark Amazi-girl” arc.
5 words for you: Full contact, naked, conga line
Those words have officially made it impossible to not picture it. My mind humbly thanks you for this thought process.
Like a Human Centipede, but sexy
Also, entirely consensual.
Human sexipede?
I want Ethan to be happy. He’s a sweet, well-meaning guy…but, I think he could do much better than Danny (and when I say that, understand that I actually rather like Danny). It just requires the introduction of a new character….and given Willis, it is going to require a lot more drama and pain before poor Ethan is going to reach that state.
Most of the viable shipping canidates for Danny can do better then Danny. We’ll never get that poor boy sexed up if we wait for the equivalent Danny-Mate.
And yet Danny is extremely popular with women, and has had sex offered to him the comic at least once already.
What’s so bad about Danny?
Well, in at least one universe, Amber is down for a threesome at minimum, as is Ethan.
Only because they were suffering from about a decade of extreme repression.
I’ve played that game before. It was kinky as hell and I have NO regrets.
I am certain that. Amber would be in the middle
“Yeah, I THOUGHT I recognized that fine ass!”
“You did, Danny?”
Danny’s a power Top, there’s a reason his name is Wilcox.
Thank you for that. I am smirking and enjoying that fact
“HOLEEEEEEEE” -Head Alien
oh is making promises you dont know if you can keep back in
Not your promise to make, Amber. Not your promise to make.
Now now, instead of stealing, why not sharing?
Borrowing?
Burrowing?
Motorboarding?
[GO BIG OR GO HOME]
[[in which case, fellating??]]
With an option to buy? Easy monthly payments?
I just had the rather cynical realization that that could be a description if serious dating.
Sharing is the way to go! They would be adorable as a triad.
oh is making promises you dont know if you can keep back in
Triangles.
Cmon Danny, OT3
That’ll turn into an OT1 in a heartbeat.
OTRH
OTKO
OT3.
OOOH NOOO
but also
YESSSSSSSSS
Is he hiding another life changing boner?
Not with that posture.
Life changing semi?
I was thinking whatever Dennis had when he watched Vince Noir kiss Howard Moon.
Wow. A Mighty Boosh reference. I wasn’t expecting that.
well it could be, i mean we don’t see his legs in the bottom half. He could be doing the pattended “ass out to your boner into a buffalo bill to avoid awkward questions”
Ted Levine will never escape the shadow of that role, but no one remembers that the Oracle in the Matrix movies was a vegetarian criminal bent on world domination in Leonard Part 6.
Damn, I don’t remember where I was going with this.
All I’m saying is you’d better keep Danny in your Hug Bosom or he might start going KOSHER.
It’s often said of cute Israelis: There’s no eye-candy like kosher eye-candy.
So very very true. Especially when in an army uniform….
Oh, it’s much too late for the HUGS BOSOM, Danny’s already past the
EVENT HORIZON
Danny and Ethan should get together. Amber gets annoyed, and then tries to steal Danny’s former girlfriends as revenge.
Mr K wants me to stop reading by bringing together two of my least favorite characters!
I’ll add Joyce to the Ethan/Danny Ship as well.
What, Amber and Dorothy?
Nah. I bet they’d just fuse together into a single character or something.
Which would be a shame after all the effort to actually make them different.
Fusion ha!

The Danning-Up clock starts now.
Any minute now
I don’t know if these two can ever be truly danned. Past experience has shown them to be virtually un-dannable.
Between those three I call pretty even odds on who Dannies it up first.
Who else but the original?
I think everyone knew this storyline was coming.
It won’t just be the storyline!
…we all hope
Everyone’s been acting weird lately, isn’t that right Danny ?
It’s only awkward if you think it’s weird that there’s sexual tension between your current boyfriend and you ex.
Yeah, but it’s supposed to be a different kind of sexual tension…
Danny is struggling not to imagine himself being the meat in the Amber and Ethan sandwich.
I don’t think Danny does threesome fantasies.
No, threesome fantasies does Danny.

WOOT!
I literally “Ah hah!”‘d at this comment.
Woohoo!
Woohoo indeed.
Given it’ll probably be another decade before Ethan/Danny actually get to hook up fantasies are all we have!
He only does foursome fantasies. Danny, Ethan, Amber, and Amazi-Girl.
What kind of messed up sandwich has the Wonder Bread in the middle?
Ethan should be in the middle. He’s much more kosher.
But Ethan doesn’t want to be in the middle.
There’s probably a page in the kama sutra where everyone can be happy and Ethan still be in the middle.
Ethan’s threesome fantasy: Ethan and Danny have sexy times and then Amber gives them each a high-five and a transformer.
LOL
Sure, move Amber into the next room and Ethan’s still technically in the middle.
If they practiced the Klein Bottle Sutra, everyone could be on the inside … and the outside.
Is it relevant in the dumby-verse that in Shortpacked Jesus called Ethan on not following The (Talmudic) Laws? If he’s not religiously observant, can he BE “kosher” if he doesn’t “keep kosher”? Jesus seemed to think not.

This comment wins the internets today.
I lol’ed.
Wonderbread? So Joyce will be joining in?
No, Danny is Wonderbread. Joyce’s code name is Pollyanna.
AH!
I’d eat it.
Yeah, Danny’s mouth is gonna be too preoccupied.
Sommelier, what wine pairs well with this fine kettle of fish I’ve ordered for some reason
Oh Amber, you’ve already lost and nobody with you knows it yet. XD
Ethan is stealing Danny with his amazingness.
I’m still hoping for a polyamorous thing between these three where the straight girl who is best friends with the gay guy can share their doofy bi boyfriend.
And yet, the bi guy is the greatest obstacle of it ever happening. That plus they’re both way too possessive to ever share with each other.
Monogamy is for straight people.
Wait, that’s stupid. Amber is technically straight, and it would be polyandry, not polygamy.
But mmf threesomes are usually disappointing for the f involved if the ms are into each other at all. Then again, that’s her fetish, and she is anything but usual.
Nothing broken: Cast off!
“Polygamy” is not gender-specific. I believe you’re confusing it with “polygyny”.
Polygamy is multiple marriage, as is polygyny. The difference is that polygyny is multiple wives specifically. In this case, no one would be getting married (unless that’s what you wanted to imply).
Entirely possible. In that case, disregard the second half of the second sentence of the second paragraph.
>But mmf threesomes are usually disappointing for the f involved if the ms are into each other at all.
What?! Ladies? Is this true?
Hey, I’m… want that
Same. I’ve been really good this year, I think Santa owes me one xD
You want to be Santa’s doofy bi boyfriend?
lol I guess with the Danny icon that was bound to happen. Idk, Santa seems like a catch. A bearded bear who brings me presents?
I mean. I’m a girl, but if I was Danny, I could do worse :p
This is true! As long as his wife is cool with it, why not? Go get ‘im, tigress.
He DOES seem very spry for his age – he’d probably be pretty good in bed.
I really don’t think any of the people involved has the maturity to pull that off, sorry.
Okay, yeah, I ship it.
toot toot
But also yes! I’v been waiting since….August (Jesus Christ) to see this storyline get picked up again.
…Oh god please don’t go back to Becky or Walky tomorrow.
Caramelundqueer is the anti-me!
i gotta say Yotomoe, you’be been exceptionally sassy in these comments, im must applaud you
He’s bored, he’s waiting for the comic to get back to characters he likes.
Ask, and ye shall receive Faz =p
Add Sal to this mix and everything will be perfect.
YES! PLEASE!
Surely it can only makes things better.
They hopefully all have sex and get over their promblems. :D.
Did you mean to do that pun, cos if you did… AWESOME!
David Willis I love you.
Oh sweety, if only you knew….muahahahahaha
Oh god I’m loving this moment right now, even if I’m still not shore about the entire Danny/Ethan thing I feel like I want this to get more akward…wait how about when they get there Joyce, Walky,Becky and Sal are all at the same restaurant. That would be perfect.
Ethan doesn’t know, does he?
Poor Ethan
He’s going to cause more drama.
All 3 of them aren’t aware of something at the moment when you think about it.
Leaving the Danny/Ethan stuff aside temporarily…
Amber never told Danny about the convenience store hold-up and what that has to do with Amazi-girl, did she? Danny asked her at some point about and she said she wasn’t ready to talk about it.

There are very few things people don’t have the right to talk about, and this is certainly not one of them.

I used to try to do livestreams, but those damn things kept crashing on me. Here’s some old ones: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/shortpacked
I can’t really do them anymore anyway — the strips I draw are in like March, there’d be too many major spoilers.

I know a way.
You could do a livestream of you watching a taping of drawing yesterdays O or the current comic. That way no spoilers.
That way you can still livestream the lecture part, and take questions.
( of course this means you have to record some of you working and pull them out 3months later )
If you did one for preview panels of a Slip-shine, It would also serve as powerful advertising for it. ( Assuming of course Slipshine is OK with that ) .
Quoth Fate: ‘Hmm. I’m so tempted…’
“Wow it sure is awkward that we have to pretend we haven’t talked about Amber behind her back.”
I’m excited both for ensuing drama and the thought of Danny and Ethan being (a much needed) thing
I am now shipping Danamberthan.
Make it so, Willis!
Ethambanny?
I love this so much I can’t properly describe it.
Actually, can someone offer an interpretation for Danny’s face (faaaaaaaaaaace) last panel?
It looks like a very happy smile to me. But then there is the tiny word bubble. And according to my calculations Danny should be a horrified and unsmiling puddle of goo on the ground right now. Halp explains!
It looks like a nervous smile to me. He’s trying to pretend to be happy about it but is actually horrified (because like, you know he wants Ethan so bad so it is happy in a way lol)
I read it in a different way. He was hoping for some more (bangy) time alone with Amber but it appears she has a different idea in mind. So he’s been cock-blocked, he wants to say something about it, but doesn’t know exactly what to say or how to say it.
I don’t know why you’d read it that way considering Amber’s last line and everything we know about what’s going on with Danny in regards to Ethan.
My interpretation is that he’s floored to be with two people he’s super into, but at the same time nervous and a bit confused still because of the bi thing.
Lab? What course is Ethan taking?
As far as I know, he was undecided, right?
To me, that one of the DoA characters is taking what I presume is a lab science (oh please be chemistry or physics) is the most important part of this strip.
Many physical sciences have a lab section of introductory courses. He could be taking Intro to Physical Geography for all we know.
Ladies, gentlemen, energy beings, let us prepare the popcorn!
Dina and Mike need to interact at some point dammit! I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. Also I find it pretty bizarre Mike and Amber have barely seen each other in this universe.
I feel like Mike would like Dina, or possibly respect her, or perhaps even respect her in some sense. She’s intelligent in what she’s passionate about and pretty perceptive, and when she isn’t (usually in social situations), she’s direct in how she asks questions and isn’t afraid to say that she doesn’t know something.
If not that, then Mike would probably work out quickly that his Asshole-Fu won’t work on her Dino-Jujutsu.
Dina often comes to the same place as Mike but from exactly the opposite direction. It’s hard to say if he’d be enamored of her or horrified by her.
Mike is a deft manipulator of social norms to make you feel bad about your blind spots. Dina’s blind spot is dinosaurs, however inorder to exploit it Mike would need make her feel embarrassed about being obssed with them. Since Dina has no social norm framework to be embarrassed with, it’s like the question of the unstoppable force and the immovable object. If you follow MinutePhysics take, they just pass through each other with no interaction at all. Even if there was negative interaction there would likely be an Amazi-ng amount of fallout.
I would like to see Mike try to bully Dina only for it to blow right over her head, like when Ruth tried to insult Joyce.
The problem is that he probably would be able to get to her if he applied himself, and that wouldn’t be funny. That would be horrifying and mean.
Damn your likely foreshadowing Willis!
I’m torn. On one hand my brain is going “just ‘cuz he’s bi doesn’t mean Danny has to jump into bed with the first dude he was attracted to, bi people are usually monogamous and Danny’s a serial monogamist, he’d never treat Amber like that,” etc. On the other hand, hot damn do I wanna see Danny and Ethan together and Amber magically being cool with it. Polyamory or open relationship or whatever. Mostly I just want Ethan to be happy in this universe. Danny seems to make him really happy.
A healthy poly arrangement would melt my little heart.
Agreed, in a polyamorous open relationship myself (and I’m bi) and it really uncomplicates things once you’re settled in to the idea.
Healthy? In this comic?
Yes! And of course he wouldn’t do that to Amber. But it’s dang tough when you’re already in a serious relationship with someone and you suddenly realize you are bi and that as a result of this relationship, that you love, and are happy with, you won’t be able to explore or experiment these new exciting feelings the way you might want to. And you feel terrible for even having them.
This happened to me, and I wasn’t unfaithful, but I ended up having to eventually end the relationship, just so I could have a period of experimentation before settling down.
OOOOOOOOH SNAP
This isn’t going to end badly or anything.
Ooooh……Willis.
Ooooh. Awkward again….
Look at that threesome waiting to happen… in the most awkwrad of ways. 8D
I always hated Danny and now I like Danny and now I’ve come to realisation that I am just a girl version of Danny. I really didnt’ think out of all the cast members the one I would see myself in the most would be Danny…
The Danny we truely hate the most is the Danny within ourselves.
I am so filled with dread. Something terrible is coming.
The Game’s afoot!
Ménage à trois
Woo new slipshine!
Amber, bless your sweet heart, that’s not your promise to make…
I am also slip-shipping for Ethen x Danny x Amber.
Also, praise Willis! He brought back the Dinobot poster! Hopefully it can ship to Canada in a week.
I don’t want to know what’ll happen in the rest of this story arc… D:
Oh boy are we continuing the Danny-is-bi storyline???
Nothing like an awkward sandwich
I am so glad I’m not Danny right now.
I really, really hope this turns into a polyamorous romance
Me toooo!
Polyamory doesn’t really fit any of their personalities so I’m against it.
Yep, this band-aid is coming off slo-o-o-o-o-wly. And pulling off as many arm-hairs in the process as possible.
I’m not sure what the arm-hairs represent in the metaphor.
I have never wanted an OT3 to work so badly before. Come on Danny you can date both of them and Amber and Ethan will be really close friends and nothing will ever be sad again.
Dis gun b gud.
I want this to happen but I also really don’t want it to happen.
Pros: Ethan comes out of closet, and cute times ensue.
Cons: Amber just got dumped for dudes AGAIN.
I feel like if it happens, I want it to be mutual. Amber starts falling for one person, and Danny is falling for Ethan, and so they decide it would be better to cut it off.
And Joyce isn’t apart of my Pro/Con list because Sad Joyce is not a pro, but it’s not a con either, because she needs to grow the fuck up.
I mean if it’s okay to have Danny in the menu.
I was not-quite-but-sort-of in Danny’s position once. Not fun.
Want to tell the story? The closest I’ve come is seeing a guy and girl I was hoping to date smiling at each other in a manner I interpreted as flirtatiously. It was a very long ways from Danny’s situation but it was awkward enough, with me standing there imagining several possible future scenarios similar to Danny’s situation.
Triangular Relationship!!
Don’t forget Joyce!!!
Danny: “YEAH I WISH I COULD PROMISE THE SAME”
holy shit it took an entire day for me to fully realize this situation
i FORGOT ABOUT DANNY AND ETHAN
(did that happen yesterday in the timeline of the strip??)
Me too, and I think it did!
This is the new slipshine.
How so? I did a quick websearch of Slipshine and it seems to be a pornographic comic strip. While Willis does do a few of those occasionally, since those are never actually in the main comic strip, I don’t see a connection. I don’t believe this current storyline is going in that direction, or anywhere near it, the way others seem to think. Could you elaborate?
Sometimes if you would like something to be true, you state it as if it is true. That’s all it is. And the slipshines are canon events, btw, just posted there and not here.
The Slipshshines Willis does ARE part of the actual cannon story for “the main strip.” ( For this comic and Shortpacked )

When Characters make with the sexy-times , Willis gets a paid commission to do draw it for Slipshine.

Yes, this storyline is going there, with someone. Willis has described drawing one recently ( look at the twitter ) That means no-fail , in 3 monthish, someones are getting laid. 3months DOA time can be between 1 and 3 days.

* wait was there a Ruth & Billie slipshine? i dont remember but feel there ought to have been.
*SCREAMS* POLYAMORY!
Ah, it’s good to see a true love triangle. You don’t get many of those. Normally you just get one of those things that people call love triangles which are really just love angles.
