    “PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE STAIN BEHIND THE CURTAINMY ARM”

      You know, it took me until reading the comments to realize that’s what he was doing. I thought he was wiping off his hand and the smudge on his face so that he could do a cool thinker pose… for some odd Walky-based reason. Hiding the stain on his hoodie makes far more sense – and is also way less interesting than the strange things I was thinking. Ah well.

      I didn’t see the previous strip and the last one I remember was Dorothy debating taking a shower, so until the comments I thought he instinctively went to cover his nose then decided to be more polite and bear it.

    Just Walky’s luck. If they had run into each other ten minutes earlier she wouldn’t have showered, and they could laugh about both of them being slobs. Now he’s the slob and she’s a friggin’ shampoo commercial. Life just isn’t fair.

    See, Dorothy, if you’d just foregone (F-WORD!) that shower, you wouldn’t be awkwardly intimidating Walky by comparison in a manner that is silently and subconsciously sabotaging your paused relationship.

    … actually you don’t see, because Walky’s smooth gesture is flawlessly hiding his stain of shame.

    so I’ve been away from the comments for a while, and I’ve got a question.

    I poke my head in every once in a while, and recently I’ve been wondering where Cerberus is.

        Reltzik
        February 26, 2018 at 1:00 am | #

        And I keep wondering whether the better approach there is to reassure her that she’s awesome, or go the “nobody’s perfect and that’s okay” low-pressure route. (Both are true, of course.)

          February 26, 2018 at 1:42 am | #

          I think spaz’s comment came out really well 🙂

          Of course, part of the problem is that JerkBrain isn’t exactly a good listener :p the part of Cerberus talking to us might know everything we say is true but still have to deal with JerkBrain yelling at her anyways. :/ But reassurance does sometimes make *me* feel better when my own JerkBrain is acting up 🙂

          Seriously, Cerberus, you not only helped people grasp underlying themed and issues and history behind the strips (like the question of “is it okay to out the closeted politician who is making laws against LGBTs”), but you also helped people who happened to have problems and came here to vent. I was one of those people. I hope this comment will reach you somehow.

          the presence of Cerberus in no way proves or disproves my reality. It is, for me, just that the comments by Cerberus provide external confirmation that local ground -which appears to be zero volts, Is at zero volts. …sort of an impartial external reality bench reference. Not needed for the test, but is just gentle reassurance that 110 volt political reality has not drifted off to 105 or 115, without my noticing.
          Be well, be strong, an’ if it harm none, then what thou will.

    It’s a sign of how good Dorothy is for Walky is that he is immediately ashamed of pigging out when he realises that she knows about it. It’s a sign of how good Walky is for Dorothy that running into him (literally) immediately makes her feel better.

        Dorothy: As long as I can still go to Yale, yes!
        Joyce: Walky, do you promise to take this angel of womanhood to be your wife, even though she’s WAAY too good for you, and treat her like a queen until the day she discards you?

      That’s why he’s hiding it! He can’t let Dorothy learn his secret identity.

    In panel 6, Walky temporarily borrows his twin’s sultry-eye expression, a form of body-telepathy occasionally practiced by the bi-bodied.

    Panel 4 Dorothy is just so cute. Love today’s strip even if it’s missing the final panel where she pretends to be taken in.

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
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).

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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."

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
