            Robin hasn’t appeared in Dumbing of Age (yet). she’s a character that has appeared a lot in the other universe. Primarily in the strips It’s Walky and Shortpacked. She’s the one on the for left on the Shortpacked Banner on this site and is also David Willis’ Tiwitter Avatar (as seen on his Twitter Feed shown on the page)

            Took me far too long to read his archives. Too much to do in one run, but sleeping just made it take so much longer. Plus the cat had recently been introduced in shortpacked, so I tried doing something positive and Girls with Slingshots too. Petered out halfway through sp and didn’t read any more walky comics for months. Then I remembered that they were awesome, which is why I put so much time in in the first place, and I’ve been a regular ever since.

            Truth be told he actually does an amazing job of making every comic understandable on its’ own merits, so an archive binge is actually quite unnecessary. Especially for Doa, there’s really no reason to read through the archives. You know, except for how great a read they are;)

        I, for one, am loving the sameness / differentness between the universes. I started on SP about a year ago, and finally read the Walky stuff right before DOA came out. Sign that this universe is OK: Mike likes punching people.

      maybe Roz is Robin’s twin (since she’s only said Roz is younger then her), then she could be younger than Robin but still be in college, however they have shown Leslie as a young professor, so Robin may be older than everyone else like jacob said

    Funny how the scorn goes to the woman, rather than the guy who would have brought her back to his place after getting rejected by someone else he intended to use, with the “justification” that it was a privilege to sleep with him.

    Yeah, I remember that guy from college. At least he was clear about what he wanted. Why should a woman that does the same or accepts it from a man be judged more harshly?

          You don’t know this Roz yet. You know someone else that looks like her and grew up with the same identity.

          Maybe she has the exact same traits you found despicable elsewhere. Maybe not.

      I slept with a Roz once, when I was single. It was awesome. No hangups, and we both got exactly what we wanted. Another time, when I was in a relationship, a Roz thought she’d have me. I resisted, and we became friends and there was no awkwardness exactly because of her casual view of sex. I like Roz.

            Eolirin, I think what zuche is implying is that if it turns out that Roz & Robin’s father (since they’re apparently full sisters, not half-sisters) turns out to be Amber’s father as well (since he seemed to out-Joe Joe back in the day) that is when zuche will be stuck on o_0 for a while.

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

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?"

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

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
