    (Yes I know the video is about Joe and Roz) Why is it retarded to fuck a famous person’s sister? Even if you’re videotaped? I mean, she’s clearly legal and it was consensual, so is it just the embarrassment of having a leaked sex tape? Wouldn’t that be the case even if she wasn’t a congressperson’s sister? Confusing…

      Because the media will hound you like a dog. Wild and baseless accusations will follow you for ages, to the point that many people you meet will have strong negative preconceptions about you before you even introduce yourself. Not just socially, it’ll dramatically reduce potential employers. Anyone who thinks you’d reflect poorly on the brand. Anything where you have to work with the public. All those potential jobs are gone.

      You might also just have some modesty and not want your sex face to be the next hit on youtube. Some things don’t need to be seen by three hundred thousand strangers. Bangin some random chick isn’t gonna get near the number of hits that bangin bristol palin is. Unless you’re just that good of course 😉

      There’s probably more I’m not thinking of, but suffice it to say nothing good happens when you screw a politically relevant figure or his/her relative on video.

        Do one thing wrong (often of the sexual variety) in a life of neverending good deeds, and that will forever be what you’ll be remembered for.

            tv tropes is the reason I always look at the bottom of the browser to see where a link goes before I click it now. Every time I visit I’m stuck there for five hours,

    On the positive side: I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE FINDS OUT ITS TALKING ABOUT HIM AND ROZ~! XD

    I can’t see Joe using the word “Congressperson” unless said Congressperson is definitively female. He doesn’t strike me as women’s lib enough for that.

      That was my first thought, that he’d stumbled across the video and had suddenly seen more of Joe than he ever wanted to.

    Um. Okay, but what’s with Danny’s expression? There’s no way he can guess, can he?

    Besides, I don’t see how it puts Joe in trouble. And shouldn’t he be high fiving the newspaper guy?

    Hmm…I’m a little lost here. What happened to “Dumbing of Age is its own continuity, with no story ties to any previous works.”? Clearly this strip makes no sense if I don’t know who “Robin” is. Little help for the new readers?

      You don’t need to know who Robin is to understand this strip. All you have to know is that Joe banged a chick yesterday who filmed it, which is very solidly from this strip only. That is the only joke.

      (Ignore all these people.)

    What’s up with the characters’ ages in this universe? In the Walky/Shortpacked universe I always assumed Robin was about the same age as the rest of the main cast but in this universe she’s old enough to be a congresswoman while they’re freshmen in college?

    • dchorror

      May 4, 2011 at 10:37 am | #

      You only have to be 25 to run for congress. Even at five to seven years older than the rest of the main cast, that isn’t a huge gap for someone you met at work as opposed to school.

        Does that imply that because she wasn’t abducted she became a political prodigy? I guess Les was right about her potential genius.

          When she wants to be, she can be brilliant. Maybe if she didn’t have to worry about sugar crashing all the time, she’d be pretty quick witted.

      Well Robin was a senator when she joined Shortpacked! after fighting a war. Hard to fit that into a normal time span too?

        Here’s a concept, maybe it isn’t Robin. Or maybe, like Leslie and Jason, she’s a good deal older than the other cast members.

        Nah, she became a senator during Shortpacked and the war was fought by a bunch of early-twenties kids (in It’s Walky)
