Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
When there’s so much vanilla essence it overwhelms all of your senses until you pass out and see your hot, behatted girlfriend checking to see if you’re okay, and the cycle begins anew.
Plesiosaurs ARE cool, though. I’m not sure how Dina handles that, if it’s OK to like plesiosaurs too or if that’s a betrayal of her “dinosaur-chick” core identity.
But Plesiosaur fossils are found in Indiana, while dinosaur fossils are not. Same is true of my Midwestern state. Grew up with a fossil collection which we displayed locally. We dreamed of dinos, but settled for marine reptiles.
Current theories suggest Spinosaurus aegyptiacus spent most of it’s life in the water, and could have been evolving into an aquatic dinosaur…. so Dina’s wearing a Spinosaur shower cap, lol.
Every time I tell myself I’ve thought of all the disgusting things I could possibly see in a day . . . I get reminded that my creativity is not limitless.
Alternatively, it’s both. Bloodletting as a method of getting the romance started, using sadism/masochism/vampirism as an excuse for bloody, bloody sexual descriptions. Tons of characters could fit that mold . . .
And as a bonus, in honor of the fifth anniversary of the contraversial “Shortpacked!” strip:
*plays Don Henley’s “Not Enough Love In The World” on the hacked Muzak*
It’s not that Becky finds the hat itself attractive, it’s that she’s never seen Dina without it. It’s like the forbidden fruit. We want that which is denied to us, even if it’s something super benign, sexually speaking. Its why back in the day, seeing a woman’s bare ankles was considered scandalous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GU4GgtsVco which reminds me of a german song that was quoted at me when i was a kid. i actually never heard it before today. i’m not sure whether it was one of the beneficial moments of having access to the internet.
(the chorus line is translated “i saw your knee, this wasn’t allowed to happen“)
i didn’t do any in depth-research, but from what i was told with it as a kid, seeing someone’s knee gave you the obligation to marry her. and even without research, i’d believe it to be a likely old custom.
True, but that would take the surprise thrill away when commenting. Sure there are times when you end up in a bad streak (as seen above) but that’s part of the fun, no?
And I’ve had this as my desktop since the mid-90s, having grabbed it off Usenet. It’s spectacular at full size. So naturally it became my “little photo goes here” thingy when tech started asking for that.
The hat gets a little shower cap of its own, like the head on Wade’s life preserver from Garfield and Friends. A regular size shower cap goes over both.
i can imagine Dina’s hat to actually be one of these swimming caps, so there would be no reason not to wear it to the shower. also, if Dina needs the head an an anxiety-lowering item, the question is how much anxiety Dina connects with public shower rooms.
My question… How does Amber know about Becky’s particular kink/fetish? I don’t think she was in the room when Becky was explaining things to Joyce, and I can’t see Becky spilling things like that to Amber.
It’s not a huge stretch that a very similar conversation has taken place before.
Also, Amber is Dina’s confidant in matters of carnal lust (to her great confusion). I bet Dina has asked Amber for advice about Becky’s thing for hats.
I think No Name’s point, which I agree with, is that under the circumstances, she doesn’t need to be told that – there’s really only two circumstances the words Becky uses would be said – either this sitch, or in a ‘making fun of her’ way.
Even if Amber didn’t think she could dismiss the idea of Becky mocking her girlfriend behind her back (and given her history, I’d wager there’s a good chance she wouldn’t automatically do so), her tone of voice would presumably indicate the ‘bow chicka bow wow’ interpretation.
Well, Becky and Dina have been dating for a couple weeks now, and as we can see, Becky is not at all good at hiding her thirst. I’ll bet Amber figured it out on her own
The link make have crashed John’s site tonight, but according to the Walkypedia timeline it’s Tuesday, Oct. 12, two and a half weeks after the first smooch.
Are there people who actually shower with a hat on? Because that seems like it would make showering more difficult, and you’d have to wear a wet hat all day too.
Strangely enough there IS a reason to wear a normal hat in the shower. I own an Akubra (sort of something like a wide brimmed fedora), and the brim can warp and get out of shape due to normal wear and tear. The approved method is to get the hat wet and then iron the brim. The problem is you need to get the brim quite wet without ruining the inner lining. So I experimented with wearing it in the shower. Works perfectly, and saves water at the same time (we’re on tank water at the farm, so every drop saved is worth it).
So wearing a hat in the shower in this specific case is not only practical, it’s also water conscious!
“Why, Bucky,” Captain America said, yet again cursing his bad luck in having the laser radiation destroying specifically his pants and nothing else. “That’s a magnificent hat you wear.”
“If you like it,” Bucky said with a smirk – only slightly marred by the fact that his pants had been destroyed in a completely unrelated train crash – “imagine if i were to take it off”
Later night that, Ophelia has been put to bed and the fire’s embers burn low like a setting sun. Danny sits awake with his ukulele and watches everyone else sleep. Quietly he gets up and walks into the cold with a heavy wool coat on.
The wind pierces his face as he strums a tune on his ukulele. This time with the moon only slightly obscured by clouds the avatar appears before him shining radiantly.
Avatar of Luna: Why have you summoned me?
Danny: Why couldn’t you help back then?
Avatar of Luna: I explained, I can only appear when the moon can see you.
Danny: But you appeared during the day.
Avatar of Luna: You can sometimes see the moon during the day can’t you?
Danny: Oh. Hey, I was wondering if you could explain somethings to me.
Avatar of Luna: what do you desire to know?
Danny: When we first came here, there was a voice. Was that you?
Avatar of Luna: Your are asking if that was the goddess?
Danny: *nods head*
Avatar of Luna: No.
Danny: Could it be…the other one?
Avatar of Luna: Solis? Perhaps, but I doubt he could conjure the required power to breach the dimensional barriers in such a way. Both of the gods powers are strictly limited to our world. Listen climb this mountain, at the top there should be a observatory where you can talk directly with the goddess.
Danny: okay.
Right after the avatar dissapears, Danny hears a pop above him. He watches as a fedora floats down in the wind and lands at his feet. Picking it up he observes the clean brim and notes a name tag printed on the inside in thick blue sharpie. “JOYCE BROWN”
And I suppose Ruth threw him down the garbage chute; and that this was in fact what ended up blocking that tube so that Billie had to kick it loose.
(NOTE: I have not checked to see if this checks out timeline-wise. If it does, I am wise beyond mortal reckoning. If it doesn’t, then I’m going to pretend it does, so I can still be wise beyond mortal reckoning. I mean, let’s face it, it’s what -should- have happened anyway, actual time-line be damned.)
*You know, except for the fact that a fair few “adult” games can be pretty horrible in terms of actually spicing up your bedroom life and at best be fun to try out once
On a completely unrelated topic, i’d like to recommend the Kurzgesagt video about time for Becky since she needs “to blast out all those creationist cobwebs.”
Is anyone encountering these ads where it just yanks the browser’s scroll bar back to focus on it and makes it impossible to scroll down and stayed scrolled down long enough to properly interact with the comments?
Anyone know how to turn that “feature” off? Or at least report the damn things? Without an adblock that turns off the only way I have of supporting Willis?
Yeah, I get one of those once in a blue moon. Try an incognito tab, maybe? (That should give you random ads like a fresh reader.) I think the last one I had do that was a video that automatically played.
Sometimes on mobile I get pop-ups that redirect to some random site with a newfangled TLD like .xyz or .travel, then pop open a message box that says something along the lines of “Congratulations, [phone OS] user! You are having been chosen as winner of free cruise! Click OK to claim your free prize!” Since there’s no way to close the dialog box or page without clicking OK, I have to kill Chrome, then go into airplane mode, relaunch, and finally kill the tab. No idea which ads are causing it.
Back when I was a spoken word poet with groupies, I would wear an Army sun hat on stage, which I started doing after I had a particularly bad hair day.
To be honest, Amber, I can think of worse things for Becky to obsess on other than the top of Dina’s head! Meanwhile, the Beckyblush is extra cute today!
Amber really isn’t fooled by ‘happy go-lucky Becky’. Maybe it’s her personal experience of trying to pigeon-hole aspects of her life into false personae?
I wonder what morning-afternoon slash would be like?
Say, anyone remember the Pixar short “Day and Night”? Maybe more than a little like “Day/Night”?
I mean, just read this suggestive description:
When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly! But as their suspicions turn to curiosity, they are delighted to find that this budding friendship can offer a new perspective on the world.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908.

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

“the SICKEST fuckin’ vanilla”
As in… “That Vanilla is SICK!” or “Vanilla Ice is sick, nyquil and a Vanilla Ice pack, stat!”?
Disliking hair anywhere else in the body is sick or vanilla?
When there’s so much vanilla essence it overwhelms all of your senses until you pass out and see your hot, behatted girlfriend checking to see if you’re okay, and the cycle begins anew.
To steal from El Goonish Shive – “In which Amber is momentarily possessed for one panel by the readership as a whole.”
Sage words.
That’s the most true thing Amber, or maybe anyone in this comic, has ever said
You have a point there.
im gonna use that line with my friends.
“so dya think shes wearing her hat in there or”?
“The only word I heard out of that was “Slash”.”
“…oh.”
“Good morning-slash-afternoon!”
‘Showering.’
I’m caught between “Super Vanilla” [No doubt, a combination of six different flavors of vanilla ice cream] and “Dino-Girlfriend”.
Pretty sure “Super Vanilla” is actually French Vanilla.
That stuff is the bomb, yo.
. . . yes?
French Vanilla.
owo
mmmm, French vanilla. *drools*
Oooh, with the little beans!
Becky, you deviant.
Becky will faint when she learns Dina puts a shower cap on OVER her hat in the shower.
Don’t be ridiculous. She wears a plesiosaur hat in the water.
Plesiosaurs aren’t dinosaurs, though. And if I know that, Dina definitely does.
But does she dislike Plesiousaurs, or just dislike it when they’re referred to as dinosaurs?
Plesiosaurs ARE cool, though. I’m not sure how Dina handles that, if it’s OK to like plesiosaurs too or if that’s a betrayal of her “dinosaur-chick” core identity.
But Plesiosaur fossils are found in Indiana, while dinosaur fossils are not. Same is true of my Midwestern state. Grew up with a fossil collection which we displayed locally. We dreamed of dinos, but settled for marine reptiles.
That’s cool!
So…. those areas are old seafloor?
Yeah, she wears a penguin hat.
Current theories suggest Spinosaurus aegyptiacus spent most of it’s life in the water, and could have been evolving into an aquatic dinosaur…. so Dina’s wearing a Spinosaur shower cap, lol.
The solution is so obvious in hindsight.
Flip a coin.
Both: like drinking straight up vanilla extract
No, eating whole vanilla beans like beef jerky.
Every time I tell myself I’ve thought of all the disgusting things I could possibly see in a day . . . I get reminded that my creativity is not limitless.
You people sicken me.
I’ve eaten vanilla beans that way…
…. after the third, it’s kind of addictive and kind of expensive.
She’s baaaaack! Just in time for Bad Things to happen… Yay?
Better yet, she has more than one hat, and stacked them on top of each other.
But which slash, like ‘I’mma slash your throat, Cap’ or ‘I’mma write a slashfic between you and Bucky, Cap’?
you know the answer
Well, she writes slash fic… but also, slashing is uncomfortably close to stabbing. So no, I don’t actually know the answer… maybe both?
Well she writes romance slashfic and gore slashfic, but it’s Cap and Bucky, so probably the former.
Alternatively, it’s both. Bloodletting as a method of getting the romance started, using sadism/masochism/vampirism as an excuse for bloody, bloody sexual descriptions. Tons of characters could fit that mold . . .
And to think that I don’t read much fanfiction.
Steve and Bucky= Stucky (that is what it is called)
Being a Pittsburgh fan, I hear “Slash” and think Kordell Stewart.
I think both Guns n Roses and Ninja Turtles.
Smiling Faces,
Wonderful Places…
And as a bonus, in honor of the fifth anniversary of the contraversial “Shortpacked!” strip:
*plays Don Henley’s “Not Enough Love In The World” on the hacked Muzak*
More like, “Not Enough Anal in the World”
It’s a thing on Twitter, I swear.
Was thinking of the Pokemon move Slash, but I forgot that was Stewart’s nickname (go Blitzburgh, stairway to 7)
I mean…a hat isn’t the weirdest thing.
It’s not even close, even.
It’s not that Becky finds the hat itself attractive, it’s that she’s never seen Dina without it. It’s like the forbidden fruit. We want that which is denied to us, even if it’s something super benign, sexually speaking. Its why back in the day, seeing a woman’s bare ankles was considered scandalous.
Ahem.

Of course she isn’t, Becky.
She’s wearing a shower cap.
But does the shower cap have dinosaurs on it?
I would be surprised if it didn’t have a dinosaur theme. This is Dina we are speaking of here!
Nope, let’s try that gravroulette again.
…just keep getting worse.
3 in a row! Blaine next?
It’s worth spending a minute to set your gravatar. I’ve had this Joyce since that comic came out.
And a glorious Joyce it is! Makes your comments that much more funny, somehow.
True, but that would take the surprise thrill away when commenting. Sure there are times when you end up in a bad streak (as seen above) but that’s part of the fun, no?
Haha, this streak will not end.
I only go without the Evil Midnight Bomber what Bombs at Midnight if I’m not allowed to pick my own. (Paizo forums, I’m glaring at you.)
And I’ve had this as my desktop since the mid-90s, having grabbed it off Usenet. It’s spectacular at full size. So naturally it became my “little photo goes here” thingy when tech started asking for that.
–Dave, but try to Google me, good luck
Ohhhhh, Usenet! So that’s a sig you’re doing at the end of every comment. I thought it seemed weirdly familiar.
Yeah. I like being Kitty Tedd. Kitty Tedd is the me-est possible gravatar that’s not inflicting an actual photo of me, or my art, on people. >_>
I’m all for editing DoA gravatars in MS Paint to make them look like oneself. I’m a curlified Joyce.
The hat gets a little shower cap of its own, like the head on Wade’s life preserver from Garfield and Friends. A regular size shower cap goes over both.
i can imagine Dina’s hat to actually be one of these swimming caps, so there would be no reason not to wear it to the shower. also, if Dina needs the head an an anxiety-lowering item, the question is how much anxiety Dina connects with public shower rooms.
Is there a rule sayin it can’t be a lil bit o both?
As my people say: “Por que no los dos?”
My question… How does Amber know about Becky’s particular kink/fetish? I don’t think she was in the room when Becky was explaining things to Joyce, and I can’t see Becky spilling things like that to Amber.
I think the mere fact that Becky is asking Amber about Dina’s hat is beans enough.
Yeah, Becky spills the beans this very comic. If Amber had NOT know about the hat thing, she would have asked a confused “what?”, giving Becky the perfect setup to explain… explain this thing:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-7/01-glower-vacuum/relief/
It’s not a huge stretch that a very similar conversation has taken place before.
Also, Amber is Dina’s confidant in matters of carnal lust (to her great confusion). I bet Dina has asked Amber for advice about Becky’s thing for hats.
I think No Name’s point, which I agree with, is that under the circumstances, she doesn’t need to be told that – there’s really only two circumstances the words Becky uses would be said – either this sitch, or in a ‘making fun of her’ way.
Even if Amber didn’t think she could dismiss the idea of Becky mocking her girlfriend behind her back (and given her history, I’d wager there’s a good chance she wouldn’t automatically do so), her tone of voice would presumably indicate the ‘bow chicka bow wow’ interpretation.
I did, but I think Bagge got that.
Honestly, I was mostly taking the opportunity to ramble about Becky
It’s not like she hasn’t satisfied that fetish. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-7/01-glower-vacuum/substitute/
Well, Becky and Dina have been dating for a couple weeks now, and as we can see, Becky is not at all good at hiding her thirst. I’ll bet Amber figured it out on her own
Has it been that long already?
Well, if I’m reading John’s timeline correctly, it’s the two-week anniversary of them smooching at Joyce’s party
The link make have crashed John’s site tonight, but according to the Walkypedia timeline it’s Tuesday, Oct. 12, two and a half weeks after the first smooch.
Lewd.
Are there people who actually shower with a hat on? Because that seems like it would make showering more difficult, and you’d have to wear a wet hat all day too.
Probably a shower cap if they don’t want to mess up their hair for some reason. A normal hat in the shower is for being silly.
A shower cap for your hat.
Strangely enough there IS a reason to wear a normal hat in the shower. I own an Akubra (sort of something like a wide brimmed fedora), and the brim can warp and get out of shape due to normal wear and tear. The approved method is to get the hat wet and then iron the brim. The problem is you need to get the brim quite wet without ruining the inner lining. So I experimented with wearing it in the shower. Works perfectly, and saves water at the same time (we’re on tank water at the farm, so every drop saved is worth it).
So wearing a hat in the shower in this specific case is not only practical, it’s also water conscious!
Depends on the definition of “hat”.
Betcha she’s also into “happy sex”, “hand holding” and “head patting”… that monster. :P~~~
This coming from the girl who writes vore fanfic.
Correction, Guro fanfic.
Yeah, that’s what bugs her in the final panel. She’s afraid of being upstaged.
Or she’s just fishing for fanfic material.
“Why, Bucky,” Captain America said, yet again cursing his bad luck in having the laser radiation destroying specifically his pants and nothing else. “That’s a magnificent hat you wear.”

Aren’t you missing an ‘en’ in there?
Dungeons and Dumbing Part 14
Later night that, Ophelia has been put to bed and the fire’s embers burn low like a setting sun. Danny sits awake with his ukulele and watches everyone else sleep. Quietly he gets up and walks into the cold with a heavy wool coat on.
The wind pierces his face as he strums a tune on his ukulele. This time with the moon only slightly obscured by clouds the avatar appears before him shining radiantly.
Avatar of Luna: Why have you summoned me?
Danny: Why couldn’t you help back then?
Avatar of Luna: I explained, I can only appear when the moon can see you.
Danny: But you appeared during the day.
Avatar of Luna: You can sometimes see the moon during the day can’t you?
Danny: Oh. Hey, I was wondering if you could explain somethings to me.
Avatar of Luna: what do you desire to know?
Danny: When we first came here, there was a voice. Was that you?
Avatar of Luna: Your are asking if that was the goddess?
Danny: *nods head*
Avatar of Luna: No.
Danny: Could it be…the other one?
Avatar of Luna: Solis? Perhaps, but I doubt he could conjure the required power to breach the dimensional barriers in such a way. Both of the gods powers are strictly limited to our world. Listen climb this mountain, at the top there should be a observatory where you can talk directly with the goddess.
Danny: okay.
Right after the avatar dissapears, Danny hears a pop above him. He watches as a fedora floats down in the wind and lands at his feet. Picking it up he observes the clean brim and notes a name tag printed on the inside in thick blue sharpie. “JOYCE BROWN”
Is there a place with all of these together?
Here is every comic with an installment of this current series besides this one.

I vote for vanilla.
Also, I’ve lost track of what day it is. Is it Saturday again already?
ALSO also, is Faz going to try to compete with Becky for Deena’s love?
(The answer is yes, of course he is.)
On the vanilla thing, I think Becky might disagree with you:
“I’ve been havin’ sexy dreams ’bout scalps, man. It ain’t right.”
Baby keep on your coat
That’s fine
And keep on your shoes
Wear your shoes
Baby keep on your dress
Yes yes yes
Can you take your hat off?

This comment (Takes hat off and holds it over heart as a mark of respect).
DON’T LOOK AT THE SCREEN UNTIL AMBER HAS HAD THE CHANCE TO ALT-TAB AWAY!!!!
It’s Amber…she’s had so much practice that alt-tabbing out of the window was probably what caused her to consciously notice Becky was there.
If this was a sitcom that would be the cue for Faz to pop in.
Did Dina ever untie Faz and let him go after Parents’ Weekend?
Dina gave faz to Ruth as lost property
And I suppose Ruth threw him down the garbage chute; and that this was in fact what ended up blocking that tube so that Billie had to kick it loose.
(NOTE: I have not checked to see if this checks out timeline-wise. If it does, I am wise beyond mortal reckoning. If it doesn’t, then I’m going to pretend it does, so I can still be wise beyond mortal reckoning. I mean, let’s face it, it’s what -should- have happened anyway, actual time-line be damned.)
…..the storyline title is making me nervous
Why, just look at this chart that plot all the ways this storyline is great in a way that perfectly correlates to Faz’ penis
I was gonna say “all of them do that”, but then I scrolled back up to read the title and… oof.
Amber that’s either your guilt or your PTSD talking.
huh?
Second panel.
That is more likely her fangirl talking. She’s read and written several tons of slashfic.
Becky’s blush and lip-bite in the last panel are a hoot.
If Amber had heard some of the things Becky said to Dina, she’d probably lean more toward “sickest fuckin’ shit.”
…Maybe she’s just a really good guesser along with having an active imagination?
Amber in the Amazi-Cave.
… with a candlestick?
–Dave, board games are PERFECTLY innocent pastimes, I tell you!
(NOTE: NSFW LINK! Nothing particularly horrible*.)
Suuuuure they are.
*You know, except for the fact that a fair few “adult” games can be pretty horrible in terms of actually spicing up your bedroom life and at best be fun to try out once
On a completely unrelated topic, i’d like to recommend the Kurzgesagt video about time for Becky since she needs “to blast out all those creationist cobwebs.”
It’s called “The History and Future of Everything — Time” and it’s at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XkV6IpV2Y0
just a thought
Is anyone encountering these ads where it just yanks the browser’s scroll bar back to focus on it and makes it impossible to scroll down and stayed scrolled down long enough to properly interact with the comments?
Anyone know how to turn that “feature” off? Or at least report the damn things? Without an adblock that turns off the only way I have of supporting Willis?
It’s happened to me once or twice but not today so far, thankfully.
I suggest getting a scriptblocker and blacklisting anything that does that.
Yeah, I get one of those once in a blue moon. Try an incognito tab, maybe? (That should give you random ads like a fresh reader.) I think the last one I had do that was a video that automatically played.
Sometimes on mobile I get pop-ups that redirect to some random site with a newfangled TLD like .xyz or .travel, then pop open a message box that says something along the lines of “Congratulations, [phone OS] user! You are having been chosen as winner of free cruise! Click OK to claim your free prize!” Since there’s no way to close the dialog box or page without clicking OK, I have to kill Chrome, then go into airplane mode, relaunch, and finally kill the tab. No idea which ads are causing it.
Anyone else get those?
Not recently, but absolutely!
I really hate those bastards. Eugh!
Back when I was a spoken word poet with groupies, I would wear an Army sun hat on stage, which I started doing after I had a particularly bad hair day.
Sometimes I was asked to wear the hat in bed.
To be honest, Amber, I can think of worse things for Becky to obsess on other than the top of Dina’s head! Meanwhile, the Beckyblush is extra cute today!
Haw, I bet Dina swaps to disposable shower caps with cartoon dinosaurs printed on them.
I bet they are even into… HANDHOLDING! Sick deviants! Be into guro like the normal people!
“My kink is women who love me…”
“HOW DARE YOU, YOU MORALLY DISTURBED PANTIE GOBLIN!?!”
Both
Come on, Amber, don’t judge.
At first I was like “That’s pretty vanilla”.
But then I thought about how her hair would be all damp and unwashed and it got upgraded to “somewhat sick”.
I like how honest Amber is with Becky. I friendship them
Amber really isn’t fooled by ‘happy go-lucky Becky’. Maybe it’s her personal experience of trying to pigeon-hole aspects of her life into false personae?
you’re one to talk miss “mask or no mask.”
I wonder what morning-afternoon slash would be like?
Say, anyone remember the Pixar short “Day and Night”? Maybe more than a little like “Day/Night”?
I mean, just read this suggestive description:
When Day, a sunny fellow, encounters Night, a stranger of distinctly darker moods, sparks fly! But as their suspicions turn to curiosity, they are delighted to find that this budding friendship can offer a new perspective on the world.
Nudge, wink, say no more!
I’m leaning towards either vanilla or neither.
Dayman! Fighter of the Nightman!
The fact that Dina wearing the hat every time she showers would mean her hair never gets washed, so I’m gonna lean towards the sickest shit
Does Dina also wear a tiny hat on her hair down there? ^^
Do you mean … a merkin?
–Dave, English is vast, it contains multitudes
Schroedinger’s Kink!
Amber, you want filth? Watch ‘Pink Flamingos’ and get back to me. John Waters, you are a dirty, dirty man.
repression is a hell of a drug (speaking from experience lmao)
…wait, is it “sick” being used in the good way or the bad way here?
I think it’s being used as a synonym for “pervy”.
But… now I’m curious… DOES she wear her hat in the shower? does she have a special aquatic dinosaur hat for showering? WE NEED ANSWERS WILLIS
We actually saw her put a shower cap over it before showering.
In a patreon-only bonus strip, but still!
You sure that was a Patron strip and not a Slipshine strip?
She kept the hat on, didn’t she?
