….Being a transwoman asexual who’s also EXTREME LESBIAN PRIDE ALL THE TIME, and who also is a domme because kinks are lovely and separate from sex…. … …1. Life is very confusing and 2. Finding characters to identify with usually requires putting multiples of them in a blender. *Sigh*
Ya don’t have to feel so alone in that. Buck up. There are a lot of people that are more complex than most fictional characters. World is better for us, and probably wouldn’t buy our stories if we wrote them
I heard a quote along the lines of “The most boring real person is more interesting than the most exciting fictional person.” Can’t find the source for the life of me, though.
Dude, there are plenty of ways to talk about the sexiness of the characters without invoking the state of your own penis. Protip: no one who is not currently a sexual partner of yours has any interest in the state of your penis. See also: “unsolicited boner update.”
Sure, well and good, you don’t care for it, fine. Additional missed context: OP is not literally talking about OP’s p state. As with the tie in to phrasing, these are direct quotes from Archer. Krieger in this case.
*Actually looks at the ads* Mine all seem to be for various Manga in which some poor woman is being pawed/undressed with titles indicating at best power imbalances… Disconcertingly, the woman in each of them looks the same including colouring. I will have to conclude either Mary has gotten out of DoA or she is an actress and nothing skeevy is actually happening here.
I find it amusing how dense Sal can be about this kind of thing.
Also, are Marcie and Carla friends? We’ve seen them hang out a few times, but it’s been a while, and I wasn’t sure if it was just because one of them brought booze.
Isn’t there a pretty big community of people who like and even get off to kinky stuff but aren’t necessarily into sex? I could swear I’ve heard that before.
I feel like I’d be Sal in this situation as well, since I wasn’t sure if the “step on me” thing was a sexual thing or not until reading this strip. To be honest I’m still not completely sure.
It was when Malaya grabbed Joe. She basically left Marcie and Carla (the latter of whom was practically begging Malaya to pay attention to her) high and dry as if they didn’t exist.
Carla is attracted to Malaya mostly because she’s impressed by loud and in-your-face types. Sal… is a bit of a mystery. Marcie is her friend and Malaya and Carla both annoy her for different reasons. Marcie is lonely and horny and thinks Malaya is physically attractive enough to lust over her. However, I think that holding hands with Sal was a weird and unexpected experience on a par with Joyce being kissed by Becky.
Basically, panel 3 is Carla opioning that any relationship with Malaya would basically involve volunteering to be abused by her. Whilst I’m not personally certain that’s the case, I do think it’s necessary for Carla to honestly warn Marcie about that if she really thinks that.
Not really. The last time we had Carla and Malaya in the same strip together, Carla was pretty obviously displaying signs of liking the idea of being humiliated/degraded by Malaya, and now she’s liking the same idea of Malaya being humiliated/degraded by Sal. So to me, it’s fairly obvious that Carla has a humiliation/degradation fetish.
This really seems like a question of how much overlap these sorts of paraphilias have, because foot fetishes can often have a strong overtone of humiliation or degradation.
That is a fair point! Most of the foot fetishists I’ve known were attracted to physical feet in general, or of using feet to play with certain intimate body parts, not so much BDSM powerplays that I’m more familiar with, but there might be an unconscious psychological aspect there that they either declined to mention to me, or weren’t aware of themselves.
Might vary from person to person, but in Carla’s case, her previous comments about humiliation from Malaya had nothing to do with feet, so it’s probably true for her.

I am Carla in general, but I have Sal’s desire to step on people and Becky’s level of overall gay-ity. It’s a very confusing mix, sometimes…

It’s also what you should imagine if you want to imagine the future.
Ooh, nicely done. That’s on the short list of books that haunt me. (Another is On The Beach.)
Not necessarily. It might just be aggravated assault. Maybe manslaughter.
Definitely aggravated assault. Malaya is extremely aggravating.

Fuck, once again I have proved myself to be a culturally ignorant old fart. In the immortal words of Emily Litella, “Nivver mind!”
So ignoring her shortcomings (personality, attitude, etc.) who else would want to get stepped on by Malaya?
Also Carla you are a delight, why are you not at the end of every situation?
There’s only so much Carla to go around.
I was just coming here to comment “I admit, I would indeed let Malaya step on me.”
Me me me me me all day everyday every night every hour.
So now the entire background is an ad for 4 cut Hero? Which features a cat girl with weird boobs that I want to make sure is properly fed?
It’s gone now. In style I minded it less than the pop-up ads along the bottom that are back now. I seem to only get one or the other.
I’m also really worried about that poor cat girl, tbh…
*Actually looks at the ads* Mine all seem to be for various Manga in which some poor woman is being pawed/undressed with titles indicating at best power imbalances… Disconcertingly, the woman in each of them looks the same including colouring.

Mine just want to sell me some kind of hideous SUV.
Mine is for Kubernetes.
I need to start blocking tracking by default, that is way too accurate and targeted for my taste.
I’m getting Gordman’s and Australian mortgage loans.
I’ve never been to Australia.
One of the dodgy looking manga I’m seeing in the ads is called ‘Kissing Carla’, I can’t help thinking this would be a bad move.
Right now it’s giving me ads for manga, trash bags, tooth straightening retainers, and Bloomingdales.
An eclectic collection to say the least.
Two very complicated individuals in today’s strip.
Yessiree-bobby.
Sal, honey, baby, I love you, but please – phrasing.
I find it amusing how dense Sal can be about this kind of thing.
Also, are Marcie and Carla friends? We’ve seen them hang out a few times, but it’s been a while, and I wasn’t sure if it was just because one of them brought booze.
That’s a good question and the archived strips don’t really answer, it, but Carla knows Marcie well enough to figure out something that Sal couldn’t figure out.
Carla doesn’t have friends, just people who tolerate her enough not to want to push her off the nearest cliff.
Yes and no, I guess. She’s obviously a fan of pushing peoples’ buttons, but seems to get along well enough with Ruth and now Lucy.
Carla, your fetish is showing.
It almost seems like Carla has a crush on Sal.
Carla: not into sex but, evidently, big into people stepping on each other!
…oh god i sure hope she takes the roller skates off for that
Isn’t there a pretty big community of people who like and even get off to kinky stuff but aren’t necessarily into sex? I could swear I’ve heard that before.
Yup. Non-sexual kink is a thing.
Wait that’s a thing, because that would explain so much
She just doesn’t wanna rub genitals. Doesn’t mean she doesn’t mind doing stuff that’s hot (or even that she’s against cumming)
We’re definitely on the same page.
She likes to watch.
Indeed. One of my Ace friends got her nipples pierced for a similar reason. She enjoys orgasms and kink – she just prefers to provide her own.
This comic is adorable.
“alas, sal is extremely straight”
You can say that as much as you like, Willis, but you can’t make us believe it!
To be fair, this isn’t her most heterosexual moment, that’s for sure. XD
Her ignorance of the sexual overtones present here could be considered evidence of her heterosexuality.
She did sleep with Jason, so yeah, I think her extreme heterosexuality has to be called into question here.
If Sal is “extremely straight” as the alt text says, then there is no perfect or near-perfect ending for Marcie. Manage your expectations, people.
Or, you know.
Fanfiction.
I mean, that’s where I’ve been funnelling this.
I feel like I’d be Sal in this situation as well, since I wasn’t sure if the “step on me” thing was a sexual thing or not until reading this strip. To be honest I’m still not completely sure.
It’s called ‘innuendo’. Sal does not mean it sexually, but Carla is making it sexual.
It very much is.
Visit any Rule34 site. But before you do, just remember that there are things that, once seen, cannot be unseen.
It’s definitely a kinky thing, but not necessarily sexual.
Uuuh.
Sal, do not make casual promises to any of the Fair Folk.
Sal, your hatred is coming as a bit tsundere for the narcisist with a weird imagination.
Gotta watch out for those sun-deer
DoA #467: Step Till You’re Happy
Neck Stomp till You’re Happy.
DOA#?: We ALL want Malaya to step on us.
Carla (as someone once said to me), “you’re a kinky motherfucker.”
“Stepped on”? Is that what you kids are saying these days?
See also: My Lawn, and the getting off thereof.
What are you doing to that lawn? Do I need to call somebody? Like a park ranger or something?
Nah. After the cleanup on the 4th they won’t have enough left in their budget to do something.
If it helps, it’s not actually a double entendre. It means what it says.
But what if it is YOU that steps on your lawn?
“In Soviet Russia, lawn steps on you!”
Something tells me that Carla is still a wee bit bitter that Malaya basically looked right through her.
Wait.
When was that?
I thought malaya’s only “see through a person” moment was with sal?
Could you link to the specific strip?
It was when Malaya grabbed Joe. She basically left Marcie and Carla (the latter of whom was practically begging Malaya to pay attention to her) high and dry as if they didn’t exist.
I think Sal is missing some of the subtext.
Yeah, but she’s all over that domtext.
+1 internets, but because that was a kink pun you only get the porn sites. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.
On the bright side, you won’t have to subscribe to see the latest DoA Slipshine!
Woot! XD
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Carla be so turned on.
There is always this
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2018/comic/book-8/03-faz-is-great/friendly/
I forgot Willis basically dedicated that strip to Christine Love! I fuckin love Christine Love. No pun intended.
That is… disturbing.
I’m loosing track of who is attracted to who and how.
Sounds about right for a college environment tbh
…that’s fair.
Carla is attracted to Malaya mostly because she’s impressed by loud and in-your-face types. Sal… is a bit of a mystery. Marcie is her friend and Malaya and Carla both annoy her for different reasons. Marcie is lonely and horny and thinks Malaya is physically attractive enough to lust over her. However, I think that holding hands with Sal was a weird and unexpected experience on a par with Joyce being kissed by Becky.
Sal likes tall (see: Ethan, possibly Jason).
I got you: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2018/comic/book-8/03-faz-is-great/heck/
…thanks, I think.
I’m sure Sal will keep that promise.
I humbly submit to you all this Art I felt inspired to make immediately after seeing this comic. https://imgur.com/sxUMOUd
I like your use of color. Proportions are all over the place, though.
It was the best I could do
with a laptop touch pad.
If I’d been drawing with pen and paper, I promise you it’d be much, much worse.
Basically, panel 3 is Carla opioning that any relationship with Malaya would basically involve volunteering to be abused by her. Whilst I’m not personally certain that’s the case, I do think it’s necessary for Carla to honestly warn Marcie about that if she really thinks that.
I’m pretty sure that’s more Carla opining that she has a foot fetish.
Not really. The last time we had Carla and Malaya in the same strip together, Carla was pretty obviously displaying signs of liking the idea of being humiliated/degraded by Malaya, and now she’s liking the same idea of Malaya being humiliated/degraded by Sal.

I don’t think the “stepped on” kink comes from the actual usage of the foot so much as it does from the power play in the action.
Might vary from person to person, but in Carla’s case, her previous comments about humiliation from Malaya had nothing to do with feet, so it’s probably true for her.
Is Carla using Sal’s reverse psychology on her for Greater Amusement?
If you want a picture of the future, imagine Sal’s boot stamping on Malaya’s face — forever.
Waitwaitwait… is Carla into girls (and light kinky stuff) or just into seeing Malaya suffer?
(inb4: porque no los dos)
Carla’s definitely into girls, but probably not sex – asexual homoromantic is the usual theory. Apparently with a kink.
Other universe Carla is into girls but asexual, chances are this one too.
I feel both guilty and amused that I hope Carla eventually uploads her brain into a robot vehicle.
