I feel like I should have a good Switch joke (other than WOO that Carla has one) but I know like two games for it, and Splatoon doesn’t seem jokeworthy here
Second or third. Willis posted a link back to when Joyce went to church with Jacob, when Danny and Joe pulled an all-nighter playing some Mario game.
There was also an appearance in a Patreon strip ages ago right after Odyssey came out. Dina dismissed Walky until he mentioned he had just possessed a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dina then took the Switch and ejected Walky.
I’m under the impression that most dorm rooms nowadays have a cable connection, but I’m also under the impression that most college-age kids only watch an actual TV when they’re back at their parents’ house, or in a sports bar.
(I did try to watch tonight’s GOT on my tablet. It was not a particularly satisfying experience, but then it’s been a long time since I was a college-age kid.)
College students and young adults of comparable age use TVs, the devices, relatively often. TV as a synonym for cable/satellite service, not so much. It’s almost like Netflix being maybe 10% the cost (routinely less given splitting arrangements) and students and age cohort already having the internet and all its free content cuts into that pretty dramatically.
They do if you bring one. New TVs are cheaper than ever, and there’s always hand-me-downs and the used market.
Some colleges are even wired for cable with a limited number of channels, like a hotel. Sometimes they even have their own on-campus public access station. If you don’t get cable, you can always hook up a laptop, streaming box, or antenna.
How about we have J.D. Souther and James Taylor’s “Her Town Too” at hand? (Yeah, the genders will have to change.) The way this Billie/Ruth thing is going we may need it soon.
If Dorothy is a perfect cinnamon roll, Lucy is a chocolate version.
I’ve been brainstorming one for a while, and I think brownie batter as the binder won’t clash with the chocolate in a way cinnamon sugar would. If I can ever power through whatever keeps me from baking more at home I’ll provide an update.
Ahem. Anyway, I really mean the form of a cinnamon roll, but with distinct chocolate flavorings. Instead of a snickerdoodle, a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. Does that make sense?
So this being Willis, what’s Lucy’s damage? She really didn’t have any in Shortpacked that I grokked, but everybody we follow seems to be broken in one way or another so there has to be something.
She is kind of Ethan-like in that, when it comes to interacting with other people, her go-to is references to her own particular subset of nerd culture, and when that doesn’t work (as it often doesn’t) it takes some effort for her to connect.
I’m inclined to agree, though then again, I don’t know if Billie expects to hear from Ruth again or not.
I know the popular consensus at this point is that Ruth is the “good guy” of the relationship, but yeah, no, this is a team effort of bad. Just, various shades.
I also agree with Bagge that it’d be better if Ruth left, though. Lucy is being very sweet, but I think it’ll be weird for Billie to come back to her room to find that her (ex?-)girlfriend has bonded with the roommate she dislikes.
(Billie is wrong in not liking Lucy imo — I think Lucy is great — but that isn’t the point here.)
Yeah, she probably shouldn’t, but given their relationship it’s not too bad. In fact, their whole relationship exists because of breaking into the other’s room without permission.
I am glad Lucy and Carla are buds, even if Carla obviously has to be herself and not admit she’s there to hang out. Gotta keep that (im)plausible deniability up to keep the feels away.
Carla and Sarah are similar in this way.
Some people seem to find it endearing. In person, I find it very annoying when people do this. Always having to put people’s statements through a translator if what they really mean is a lot of work.
Hey, nice! Roy was my boy in Melee, too. Sucked that he fell off the roster for nearly 2 games, even if it made sense. But hey, now I main Kirby! Love that little puffball!
A rational fangirl, a depressed RA and a narcisist tech genius spend the next two hours watching Love, Death and Robots and complain about the Homestuck Epilogues even if Ruth has no idea what Homestuck is.
It looks like Lucy is going for the ‘Perfect Cinnamon Roll’ award for this chapter! She is sweet, kind and genuinely nice, isn’t she? She’s also perceptive to see through Carla’s defence mechanisms so easily.
This honestly makes me really happy for Lucy. Her going out (or now, inviting in) and talking with people, and not shutting off after how her dorm-mates ignored her (and her opinion) lately.
I needed a comic like this today
Given that Carla has clearly decided that Lucy is ‘hers’, it is possible that her vengeance on the Forrest Hall fangirls will be swift, terrible and utterly ridiculous. Could the Forrest/Read Prank Wars be about to begin?
When was she a stereotype of evil Chinese people in space? Well, Ming was made caucasian in a modern version, so Ruth can still fight against Flash Gordon.
Take the fictional character quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac...
What this should tell you is that I'm always down to cause chaos and good trouble
Would you like to take a survey? Do you like to eat beans? Do you like George Wendt? Would you like to eat beans with George Wendt? Would you like to watch a movie about George Wendt eating beans?
so i'm thinking, okay, i took some extra photos of this set of doors this year so i could draw some other angles, it's an important set of doors, so let's pull up my new reference photos...
....and do you see a problem, do you see an issue
Well, Lizard is here, and I've been telling myself for... years that I'd take down my Endgame shelf and put up Spider-Man:No Way Home once the final villain was out.
So.
That's a thing I gotta do.
okay okay -- spider-man reboot idea
the lizard is still dr connors, but he's dr PHIL connors, and he wakes up every day and it's groundhog day and he's a lizard
is this anything

“I’m here because I… had to shave my cat”
“WHAT, and what cat”
“did you want company or not”
“…yes”
I feel like I should have a good Switch joke (other than WOO that Carla has one) but I know like two games for it, and Splatoon doesn’t seem jokeworthy here
Switch? Yeah right. No way Carla’s not a top.
“Buy a trans friend a Switch” is totally a thing
(and we did, though bc she wanted one, not bc memes)
Every trans friend deserves a Switch
My stock excuse is “I think I left the cat running.”
Once you get their motors running it’s tough to get away from them until they stop…
seriously, there’s nothing that makes you want to stay put more than a purring cat.
“But Persona 5 isn’t even ON the switch”
Joker’s coming, close enough?
“I’m here because I didn’t have anything better to do.”
That would make a nice gravestone.
“Buy it or not” is the most Carla thing I’ve ever heard.
For me, I can’t see her without thinking “Out of my way, you vaginal discharge!”
So is this what the whole Billie-Lucy rivalry was setting up? Pretty interesting and also not as horrible as I had imagined
Billie mostly makes any relationship in which she’s involved (business, personal, romantic) pretty toxic, but Lucy is a very powerful panacea.
Carla is a god damn delight
Hell fucking yeah she is
Is this the first Switch we’ve seen in DoA? The sliding timeline advances!
It is not. Danny and Joe were seen playing with one before.
Second or third. Willis posted a link back to when Joyce went to church with Jacob, when Danny and Joe pulled an all-nighter playing some Mario game.
There was also an appearance in a Patreon strip ages ago right after Odyssey came out. Dina dismissed Walky until he mentioned he had just possessed a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Dina then took the Switch and ejected Walky.
Switch.
Jimmy Smits
My mother loved that movie.
Awwwww, Carla came to play video games are her friend’s!
Do dorm rooms normally have TVs? When I went to school there was usually just a big one in the common area and maybe a games space.
I dunno if they normally do, but Billie and Sal’s (well, Sal and Malaya’s now) had one.
So did Danny and Joe iirc.
Meredith too, since Howard was trying to get HBO on there.
Plus, apparently, Carla.
We don’t know for sure that Carla had a TV, only that it is broken.
We had to bring our own. TVs are cheap now though, maybe nowadays some dorms just have them in the rooms.
Even if it doesn’t normally, some people can likely afford one they can bring along of their own accord.
You can get 32″ smart TVs for under $150 brand new these days. Refurbs, used TVs, and off brands are even more affordable.
I’m under the impression that most dorm rooms nowadays have a cable connection, but I’m also under the impression that most college-age kids only watch an actual TV when they’re back at their parents’ house, or in a sports bar.
(I did try to watch tonight’s GOT on my tablet. It was not a particularly satisfying experience, but then it’s been a long time since I was a college-age kid.)
College students and young adults of comparable age use TVs, the devices, relatively often. TV as a synonym for cable/satellite service, not so much.

Some colleges are even wired for cable with a limited number of channels, like a hotel. Sometimes they even have their own on-campus public access station. If you don’t get cable, you can always hook up a laptop, streaming box, or antenna.
I haven’t been in a while, but p sure any dorm-provided TV would be inferior to whatever any student brings on their own
it’s not like colleges get hotel money or anything
fulfilling it is!
I also main ROB! Good taste, Carla!
*plays J.D. Souther’s “You’re Only Lonely” on the hacked Muzak*
Don’t you ever be ashamed…
Huh. I was kind of expecting to hear the Motels (“only the lonely can play”). Too cliched, maybe.
How about we have J.D. Souther and James Taylor’s “Her Town Too” at hand? (Yeah, the genders will have to change.) The way this Billie/Ruth thing is going we may need it soon.
I was thinking of “Ask the Lonely” by Journey, but that’s good too.
Yes – Owner of a Lonely Heart

Give Ruth a Chevvie and …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdhkaPZtQF4
Oh so THAT’S the kind of friendship Carla has with Lucy: “I’ll annoy you ’cause I like you.”
Honestly I find that very relatable, as long as Carla doesn’t overstep her bounds.
To be fair, she did warn Lucy this was one of the two possibilities for friendship with her.
Yeah, and Lucy seemed fine with it. Besides, she roomed with Malaya. Carla would have to bring out the big guns at this point to pester her much.
If Dorothy is a perfect cinnamon roll, Lucy is a chocolate version.
I’ve been brainstorming one for a while, and I think brownie batter as the binder won’t clash with the chocolate in a way cinnamon sugar would. If I can ever power through whatever keeps me from baking more at home I’ll provide an update.
I wonder if the word you’re looking for might be saccotino.
No, that’s not quite what I me–
Is that chocolate-stuffed puff pastry?
Ahem. Anyway, I really mean the form of a cinnamon roll, but with distinct chocolate flavorings. Instead of a snickerdoodle, a chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips. Does that make sense?
My local Walmart sells Hot Chocolate Rolls, where instead of cinnamon between the layers its chocolatey.
Go for a pain au chocolat made en France.
That sweet, melt in the mouth pastry … accept no substitutes!
So this being Willis, what’s Lucy’s damage? She really didn’t have any in Shortpacked that I grokked, but everybody we follow seems to be broken in one way or another so there has to be something.
She’s desperate enough for social contact that she’s in this situation.
She is kind of Ethan-like in that, when it comes to interacting with other people, her go-to is references to her own particular subset of nerd culture, and when that doesn’t work (as it often doesn’t) it takes some effort for her to connect.
Basically similar to Joyce – A lack of awareness of social and behavioural boundaries but not so extreme.
She thought that she was popular but Billie revealed that she was simply the most interesting option at the time, now… not so much
Kind of an identity crisis (haven’t had one of THOSE lately, nope ::=_=::)
Lucy is a good egg.
Get her and Danny in a room together and eggy goodness will be…um….like a fluffy omelette.
No, I agree with Ruth. She shouldn’t enter Billie’s room, whatever her room mate says.
Of course, it wouldn’t even ding the top ten on their list of gross overstepping of bounds, and at this point I think Billie expects it.
I’m inclined to agree, though then again, I don’t know if Billie expects to hear from Ruth again or not.
I know the popular consensus at this point is that Ruth is the “good guy” of the relationship, but yeah, no, this is a team effort of bad. Just, various shades.
The difference between Ruth and Billie is that Ruth is trying to get better.
Doesn’t mean she doesn’t make plenty mistakes along the way, but that’s a heck of a lot better than not trying at all.
Agree with this!
I also agree with Bagge that it’d be better if Ruth left, though. Lucy is being very sweet, but I think it’ll be weird for Billie to come back to her room to find that her (ex?-)girlfriend has bonded with the roommate she dislikes.
(Billie is wrong in not liking Lucy imo — I think Lucy is great — but that isn’t the point here.)
Yeah, she probably shouldn’t, but given their relationship it’s not too bad. In fact, their whole relationship exists because of breaking into the other’s room without permission.
I mean, it feels like a factor in the ethical conundrum should be that this is the day after Billie picked Ruth’s lock.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/02-but-the-sun-still-shines/fightsandlights/
Well sure. They changed the locks. Her collection of keys wasn’t good anymore. What else could she do?
When you have turned off your emotions so long any emotion becomes a massively confusing series of events.
I am glad Lucy and Carla are buds, even if Carla obviously has to be herself and not admit she’s there to hang out. Gotta keep that (im)plausible deniability up to keep the feels away.
Carla and Sarah are similar in this way.
Some people seem to find it endearing. In person, I find it very annoying when people do this. Always having to put people’s statements through a translator if what they really mean is a lot of work.
aaaa lucy is popular and ruth is a fucking weirdo i love
Dumbing of Age Book 9: So This Is What Lonely Feels Like
Dumbing of Age Book 9: Look, buy it or not.
I’m comfortable maining Roy – as in the fiery swordsclone and not the shade-wearing monster turtle.
(Also whoops I forgot Danny and Joe had the Switch first).
Hey, nice! Roy was my boy in Melee, too. Sucked that he fell off the roster for nearly 2 games, even if it made sense. But hey, now I main Kirby! Love that little puffball!
Speechless at Lucy. She’s good at this.
A rational fangirl, a depressed RA and a narcisist tech genius spend the next two hours watching Love, Death and Robots and complain about the Homestuck Epilogues even if Ruth has no idea what Homestuck is.
Head cannon accepted.
I hope Ruth regains her love of violence from the drugs. A pacifist Ruth is not a Ruth at all.
Just because she isn’t ruthless, it doesn’t mean she’s less of a Ruth.
I think the violence was also a way for her to repress things though
I’m sure “carla mains ROB in smash” means something to the cognoscenti, but it looks like word hash to me.
Translation: “Carla’s favorite character to play as in Super Smash Bros. is ROB the Robot.”
Hey! English! Thanks.
De nada.
I’m thrilled to have a story about Ruth. I love Ruth so much. More than Amber maybe.
The fact that she mains ROB confirms that Carla is an S tier DoA character
ROB is in-character and excellent taste!
It looks like Lucy is going for the ‘Perfect Cinnamon Roll’ award for this chapter! She is sweet, kind and genuinely nice, isn’t she? She’s also perceptive to see through Carla’s defence mechanisms so easily.
Lucy is a perfect cookie.
This honestly makes me really happy for Lucy. Her going out (or now, inviting in) and talking with people, and not shutting off after how her dorm-mates ignored her (and her opinion) lately.
I needed a comic like this today
Given that Carla has clearly decided that Lucy is ‘hers’, it is possible that her vengeance on the Forrest Hall fangirls will be swift, terrible and utterly ridiculous. Could the Forrest/Read Prank Wars be about to begin?
Lucy is an incarnated version of a hug and headpat.
So Ruth is no longer Ming the Merciless!
When was she a stereotype of evil Chinese people in space? Well, Ming was made caucasian in a modern version, so Ruth can still fight against Flash Gordon.
Ruth is… a mess. Healing is going to be a long, long thing for her, isn’t it?
She took the first step which is the most important thing. Let’s just hope nothing trips her up resulting in her going back to the start line.
Kirby is the only acceptable main.
In the end, after all things, there is only…Kirby.
In the end, even Bombadil would fall…
ROB is pretty bad ass with a skilled player. I prefer Samus/Marth
