I'M SO PISSED RIGHT NOW!

Why are you pissed?
It's just standard shitty quality in a dumb plot line

Well that's fucking rude as shit leslie

He dangles the rapist conclusion in front of everybody, knowing that it'll get reactions. This shit should've been dealt with years ago.

where's the joke, willis
WHERE'S THE JOKE, WILLIS

WHERE'S THE FUCKING JOKE, WILLIS

Y'know, this is the second time in this story that he'd taken a potential story development (Leslie being at the rally being the first) that he introduced only to shut down immediately. Preview panels imply it'll be extended upon later, but right now it just comes off as blue-balling people who might actually care for the story.

Also, look at the background action in the last panel, which is to say that there is none. Leslie just stands there, not even with a look of disappointment or shame or regret on her face. Willis actually managed to work good background action before, but it's all for naught now.

Also, just look at all those faceless figures in the background. It's a minor mark of Willis' relative laziness when it comes to world expansion, but it's a mark nonetheless. Seriously, how hard is it to sketch random characters? Willis seems to only make new character designs if he plans to use them again later, like Sayid. Otherwise, they're left conveniently out of the frame.

It fucking baffles me that a webcomic that updates once a fucking day doesn't progress
I think this is some sort of fucking record

>where's the joke
Last panel if you squint REALLY FUCKING HARD after taking about six shots.

Six shots to the head you mean..

the joke is "my Trump/Palin stand in is dumb and stupid"

...

>Lectures class on the dangers of certain attitudes and legislature
>Invites a representative of those attitudes, but only to fuck her
>Gets cold feet about fucking her even though her stance is completely public
>Makes Robin leave early instead of letting her students get a sense with why that person holds those ideals or how confronting them works
>Wishes her good luck with her campaig

Good teaching, Leslie?

Like all homosexuals, she's a sex-crazed nymphomaniac who thinks with her genitals.

Wow, so how many strips was that where nothing important or even funny happened

How many strips has DoA been running for? That many.

NEW STRIPS!

Those are not japanese letters, I just made them up.

Also, the joke for true fans is that Sarah is actually a demon in the other universe.

Now, if you've followed my youtube channel, you may recognize this girl, if not, then she'll just be some random crazy bitch.

Actually, that's what she's always been, you're not missing much.

I ran out of black girls.

It would be funnier with real Japanese letters.

Try using ゴ or ド

All of this has just been uncomfortable.

pastebin.com/5MwZPhsE

Did Willis make a comic about his pain yet?

wow, literally nothing happened

over a year of strips leading up to this, and nothing happened


Willis is a master of blue balls

So, does anyone have it?

Nothing can save this pile of cold diarrhea. Just look at how starved for attention he's getting. Who fucking new, or cared, about that youtube channel?

>here's a special political guest, class!
>nevermind, i don't want to bang her anymore. get outta here, you skank

It's okay, when Leslie feels the cold pang of regret when she gets home to her empty house she'll come up with another excuse to give Roz as to why she needs to see Robin.

Don't forget that the whole plan for Leslie to seduce Robin is an act of malice. Leslie and Roz are fucking terrible people, and Robin dodged a bullet here.

Roz is the only one acting out of malice, Leslie is acting out of selfishness. Though given Leslie's attitudes shown prior, she would probably be greatly opposed to Roz forcibly outing her sister. Does Leslie know that Roz intends to use her to out her sister?

Time for some best character.

Did Robin wrong Roz? Im trying to understand this motivation to destroy her own sister so fervently.

My best guess is that Roz and Robin's parents are well-adjusted, so Willis is pretending they don't exist and using Robin in a role that would have gone to Roz's mother.

Which is to say, Willis is treating Robin like he would have treated Roz's mother, and so Robin deserves what's coming to her because she's a parent (if by proxy).

How big of a thing is Christian Rock?

I dunno, but christians love it.

It's an American Protestant thing, and only Bible Belt Protestants

It has absolutely no presence elsewhere, like Catholic-dominated countries

So WHY, other than for drama's sake, did Leslie cancel the interview? Like, even if she's having second doubts about if Robin is actually a good person (fuck this childish writing), why interrupt the questions? Isn't it an excellent learning experience to see what the opposition says anyway?

Because apparently Leslie is so caught up in her own feelings that she's forcing Robin out the door so that she can stew in her own lesbian-ness.

Other than that, of course it's the drama. Like I said, Willis is blue-balling his readers. Though if you watch for preview panels, you'll see that Willis is planning on having Dorothy skip class to go talk with her.

>(november 14, 2016)
, to be exact. Note how the only way that Willis could have filled in the "conspicuous empty chair" was to include a character he didn't create and immediately stands out from the rest of the character designs in the panel.

Problem is that in this scenario Roz is taking the place usually filled by parents.

It's easier to destroy her sister than make systematic changes.

It's pretty small or niche in parts of the Bible Belt too.

But Roz is the college-age student and Robin is clearly older. Therefore, everything Roz does is in the right, and Robin literally kicks dogs.

At least, in Willis' mind this is the case.

I haven't been following these threads for awhile, did Willis have a meltdown over the election? He seems like the type that would.

That's pretty much the extent of his "meltdown", give or take several retweets. He probably just slept it off the same as everybody else.

Counterpoint: Both Ruth and Carla are older than Mary.

>>but i have to finish this naked ethan art somehow anyway, it's important

I genuinely laughed. Eh, he seemed to handle it with more grace than I would have given him credit for.

Counter-counterpoint: Ruth, Carla, Roz, and Mary are all in college, while Robin is not in college. Therefore, Robin is in the wrong in whatever scenario is presented.

Further, Mary is only portrayed as being in the wrong because Willis hates her.

Also, looking over the Tweets above, I noticed this:
>who let so many versions of myself twenty years ago vote
Given that 20 years ago Willis was a freshman and starting Roomies, it just adds to the strangeness of Danny's character, seeing how Danny was Willis' self-insert back then and is now claimed to no longer represent him.

So I guess we can expect Danny to vote for Robin while everybody else votes for The Other Guy.

He retweeted a lot of stuff. I'd wager he was just sitting around and drinking and talking in whatever webcomics creators Skype chat exists, since I'm sure there's one out there.

Alright I'm bored and have a bunch of free time, list me some character pairs or fetishes and I'll churn out some written lewds.

>aheh
>one of the to-be-approved comments from yesterday asks how Robin could possibly have been elected
>WELP

I know he's leaning into making her a caricature of Trump, but Robin still has all her shortpacked "fo' rizzle" ADHD writing. They're not really the same.

And about that Obama comment, I doubt (I'm saying doubt, but obviously Willis is being a butturt asshole throwing him under the bus with delusional anger, there's no basis for his words) he was that much of a ass kisser, but the thing Obama understood that Hillary and a lot of current Dems don't, is that you don't really solve anything by being entirely divisive all the time. There's no value to constantly calling others bigots and taking a hardline stance, grouping together the electorate you think you've already lost. You've gotta reach out. Which isn't to say that Bambam didn't call out inequalities while
in office, but he seemed really careful about it, and didn't spend his 08 and 12 campaigns doing that. It's kinda lucky Willis isn't a politician, because he'd do the same divisive shit.

Also, I think the primary takeaways from this election are a disdain for the 2 major parties and general apathy. That's why votes were down in general and 3rd party vote increased so much (almost tripled from 2012).

To bring it back to Willis, I hope he doesn't feel the need to become more of an activist, because it's exactly his sort of rhetoric style that drives people aapart. (Hell, he drove a liberal black canadian to post on Sup Forums for the first time in his life instead of his comments. Glad to be here, btw!)

>a liberal black canadian

that sounds delicious

can I move to Canada? I promise I can be good and say "eh" after all my sentences.

>Robin is still Robin

These things don't go together? Robin fucking sucks. It was more bearable in a boring comedy setting that needed spicing up, but I never liked her.

>bagle

>My best guess is that Roz and Robin's parents are well-adjusted,

Unlikely. Robin's dad slept around in the Walkyverse continuity.

I've been away from Sup Forums for a while. Can someone help me out and tell me what this is? Is this the new Questionable Content?

>Republican National Convention
That explains why Robin showed up again.

>smug liberals
My god, is Willis going to redpill himself? That will be an interesting development.

No, while QC is pretty much inoffensive, we fucking hate Dumbing of Age.

a body-of-christ bagel should have bleeding holes

Or be shaped like a hand.

Fix your line-weight. Learn to colour. Learn how speech-bubbles work. Learn anatomy and classical illustration. Study some guides on cartooning afterwards. Learn perspective. Learn to write. Study grammar and spelling, or at least run your scripts through a checker. Write better jokes because with shit art, shit writing and shit characters yuks are the only thing that can justify this amateur piece of shit's continued existence. Grow a sense of humour. Develop a narrative beyond just jumping through whatever hoops Willis already did. Don't shamelessly try and curry favour with us with a no-effort "parody" of Mary, it's transparent and pathetic.

>My god, is Willis going to redpill himself? That will be an interesting development.

Nah, he's just go to hedge his bets, especially since his reader base is going to spend their disposable income on guns to protect themselves from the right wing death squads.

>his reader base is going to spend their disposable income on guns to protect themselves from the right wing death squads

That's kinda funny cuz according to Google you can't sell guns to the mentally ill

It's fine, they're all self-diagnosed.

>smug liberals like myself were patting ourselves on [] the back[]
>implying Willis ever stopped patting himself on the back
He's probably just going to be more smug and more insufferable than ever, bolstered by the idea that he was "right" and failed! He's so noble!

So does Ethan have a huge dick or what?

Ethan is, most definitely, a bottom

>My god, is Willis going to redpill himself?
He has always been self aware of his own flaws.

Once again, people missing the point so much of this comic whne it is so crystal clear in the first place.

The whole argument showcased there is that Hatespeech is NEVER justified, no matter what.

How do you carry this kind of point if you don't make the one receiving the hatespeech an asshole in the first place?

Because the "hate speech" in this case, when taken out of the context of Carla being trans (a development that few if any readers would have known without reading Willis' blog beforehand), amounts to grade-school playground taunts.

>Why don't you go hang out with all the boys?
>Yeah, we don't want your boy cooties all over us!
>Don't step any closer! I can smell your dick from here!
>Girls, let's get out of here before Carla rapes us!

Or something like that. This may be an inaccurate portrayal of elementary school. I spent my recess digging with a stick. I never DID get to tunnel underneath the jungle gym...

Which reminds me, the playground situation that Willis drew at the beginning of this latest chapter in DoA with Sal and Marcie shouldn't have ever happened. They'd have prohibited ANY outside playtime while construction was going on, especially if there were a danger to kids. And even then, they'd have probably put up safety cones and yellow tape and shit.

Willis deprecating himself for being a white liberal is the most predictable thing he could possibly do in the wake of what happened. It's his special way of virtue signaling. "White liberals suck, I know, I'm one of them!"

I disagree

Especially when it's only tangentially "hate speech"

Gotta be involuntarily committed. I don't know if it'd be hilarious or horrifying if half of Willis' comment section got their hands on guns.

Speaking of which, do you think Willis is familiar with firearms? During the Toedad saga he drew a fairly faithful reproduction of a Ruger No. 1 hunting rifle, which isn't something you'd expect from him.

Bottoms can have huge dicks too, but I'd wager he's vers.

>a fairly faithful reproduction of a Ruger No. 1 hunting rifle

Probably what his parents used to shoot illegal immigrants

A single shot hunting rifle? Please, we all know they use fully semi automatic scary black assault weapon ghost guns with shoulder things that go up and 1000 round clips full of armor piercing cop killer bullets.

Of course its not justified, the issue is that the utterance of hate speech, which was only clarified out of universe as there was no indication within the comic that Mary or anyone else was aware of Carla's trans status, does not absolve prior actions. Ruth should have either equally ignored or dropped the fury on both of them. Also the way the story is set up it implies that any sort of misgendering will psychologically destroy a transperson in the short-term and that they require the support and defense of cispeople to maintain their dignity and rights.

If that is what is considered hate speech then my entire country needs to be locked up for our crimes

Which country?

it's in a slimgr link from the old general

>I can't get your GLUE outta the wheels!
Sure seems to have come out of the carpet just fine, since there's no ruined carpet outside Mary's door or down the hallway.
Also the skates weren't glued together, Carla was just hopping to be obnoxious.

>Carla was just hopping to be obnoxious.
I should hope that would have been obvious from the moment Carla was skating up and down the hallway.

The main point is that someone should post the (incredibly poorly drawn) dick if said dick is available. I'm curious what size distances Ethan will be closing.

I hope he's massive, like "Oh jeez" huge, and there is the implication that half of Amber's issues with him is that she's a size queen and he's not giving her dick.

>They're not really the same.
Switch out fake-street-talk for blue-collar braggadocio and it kinda is. Dead serious, the man has no attention span at all.

I'm pretty sure that Willis has already shown Ethan's dick in one of his porn comics.

He's retconning Mary's motivation so he can retcon cock size easily. Should make something like an official penis size chart.

"General Apathy" is about right.

Somehow I've ended up with a completely Liberal friendbase and heaven help me if I reveal I skipped out on this shit. They've already damned the third-party voters for screwing it up. Not that it matters, she won the popular vote and lost anyway.

Of course, they take all their cues from Tumblr.

>Should make something like an official penis size chart.

I'll support this only on the condition that Carla be included in it.

I feel like I would remember this, but I'm sure you can POST THAT DICK if it's true.

Don't worry if you can't, runners up on Post that Dick get the home version.

Nah, there was never a Slipshine with Ethan involved.

Horsecock or tiny, flacid, and incredibly feminine penis?

She won by 0.4 percent of the popular vote, in any system that used the popular vote they're be a runoff. And to put things further in context there was only a 57% turnout for this election.

Lots of votes in CA and WA still left to count (because they didn't matter). Final results likely to show a 1-2% Clinton advantage.

Yeah, I thought there was but I double checked. It was just some guy who looked like Walky with tattoos.

Also I colored this but I'm not done. i.imgur.com/mfsCZwI.jpg

...

>fwn all you want is Mary and Carla to stop fighting and admit their love for each other

That shit would make Billie's head explode

canadian here
I used to listen to a fuckton of christian rock like toby mac, superchick, and michael w smith.

it's pretty niche, but it's here too.

actually, the only concert I've ever been to was a christian rock concert at king's island in ohio.

In another thread someone made a very good argument for how hooking up Mary and Carla could make Mary an amazing villain.

Patreanon here.

Nothing much here, except to wonder what Cerberus will say to Walky daring to make assumptions about glorious lesbo teacher, no matter how true.

Who wants to bet that next strip will skip all this and we'll be right back to Becky and Dina and their gay hat shenanigans.

>college teacher prevents student from leaving
what world does Willis live in? Professors can't force you to stay. Fuck this bullshit

Well, so much for Dorothy actually leaving to ask Robin about Ryan. Y'know, come to think of it, there was probably enough time for Amber to text Dorothy Ryan's name.

Also,
>the joke is, LESBIANS!
Ech.

Also,
>six helicopter rides
Another Trump analogy, I suppose.

Anyways, other than Dorothy being shut down, there's no real point to any of this. Also, I just noticed that Jeph Jacques' character has been removed. I guess the preview panel was a joke.

I like how the only four characters we're actually given privilege to see in this classroom are all conveniently sitting next to each other. Shit, Willis, even anime goes the extra mile to create distinct and individual filler characters in classrooms.

I would not be surprised in the slightest.

Pretend this is a high school and it all makes more sense.

Because Willis writes this like it's fucking High School.

But then there are more things wrong here than Leslie not letting Dorothy leave.
>Dorothy doesn't just whisper what the question was to Leslie, thus having a good reason to leave.
>Leslie still hasn't bothered to ask who the gay friend Joyce was talking about is.
