Who the fuck is Eric?

And is this just a ploy from Mike, or did he really get fucked in the ass to get Ethan to fuck HIM in the ass so that Danny would man up and get Ethan to fuck him in the ass instead?

Also, who the FUCK is Eric?

Or was all of this just a ploy from Willis to draw Mike without a shirt? Because the new Slipshine pin-up is more gay sex. I don't even know why. I don't know what the password is and I don't care right now.

And another question: WHO THE FUCK is Eric?

How the FUCK do you make a grin where your bottom gums are showing?

eric was the guy who got mary pregnant in roomies im pretty sure

Is Willis gonna make Mary a fag hag in a sham of a relationship?

>And is this just a ploy from Mike, or did he really get fucked in the ass to get Ethan to fuck HIM in the ass so that Danny would man up and get Ethan to fuck him in the ass instead?
hes bi, fucking another guy isnt exactly a sacrifice

Eric is the guy that Mike just fucked up the butt. Now shut the fuck up.

>Who the fuck is Eric?
A rando.

So Ethan is milquetoast gay Willis and Eric is closeted gay Willis? Also that last panel is so incredibly self-aware I'm not sure if I want to laugh at or hug Willis.

no because Eric's supposed to be like Ryan North apparently

I think there's more of a chance that she starts dating Ryan.

But you don't NEED to go through that much effort in order to coerce one guy into fucking another guy.

Here's something to consider: In all of this Ethan/Danny/Mike business, Danny has yet to actually play into the equation.

Not yet.

But why?

Ethan is Ideal Body Type Willis and Eric is Smarmy Sexual Tyrannosaurus Willis.
Also, don't ever hug Willis. He probably smells bad.

Was there a Slipshine Pinup this week?

Willis' ideal body type is "would look nice if he hit the gym but is kinda doughy as is?" And Willis seems like he's the type of person who sweats a lot, even if it's cold.

The problem with having Mary date Ryan is that there is no way to do it without humanizing her to a degree that Willis doesn't seem to want.

Yes, and it's gay.

I'm just assuming Willis' ideal body is more muscular and wide than his current amount of flab and depression.

>The problem with having Mary date Ryan is that there is no way to do it without humanizing her to a degree that Willis doesn't seem to want.
It's easy: You just have to have her be completely oblivious to Ryan's actions, and then when he's outed as being a not-exactly-a-rapist, have her blindly defend him. It's as easy as that.

>But you don't NEED to go through that much effort in order to coerce one guy into fucking another guy.
its... not really effort if he wants to fuck guys anyway.

Sure, that's one way to look at it.
But it's still dumb. Then again, this whole thing with Mike trying to get Danny to man up by stealing Ethan away from him is a dumb thing to begin with. And since this is the start of a new day, I'm going to assume it's a story thread we'll be following throughout the day, unless Willis opts instead to treat it like Joyce's shower worries and have it be a bookend instead. I dunno.

All I know is that Danny still has yet to make an appearance during any of the Ethan/Mike scenes, and Willis hasn't made a Tweet on @RepDeSanto yet.

The problem with that is it makes Mary into a tragic figure.

That's exactly what happened before and it worked out in Willis' favor in the end.

Just have him ignore criticism/critique and meme a phrase so hard that he makes it into another word filter.

Considering the Mary/Carla conflict wound up not being about either Mary or Carla it's kind of a moot point. Also Mary wanting to study didn't make her a tragic figure, just the one with the better argument. Mary being oblivious to Ryan's actions makes her defending him against accusations of being a rapist tragic through dramatic irony. The only way to get around that is to make Mary complicit with Ryan's rapes.

It was more the part where Billie coerced the rest of the dorm wing into shunning Mary and then socking her in the jaw that made her a tragic figure, at least in a narrative sense. Other people can explain it better than me.

The "just wanted to study" thing was long before Billie getting the entire floor in agreement to bully Mary. The problem with the entire plot line is that the major players are all assholes and we're being expected to care that one of them was on the receiving end of a indirect and implied slur.

>I fucked some random guy to show you that even a terrible person like me can get fucked
is this supposed to be a revelation?

Why can't he just stick to one subplot and keep to it for a while?

walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Eric

Now I'm new to this- whatever the fuck this is, this general. I popped in two weeks ago and the comedy is gold but I have to ask are there a disproportionate number of gays in this thing or has college changed in the past couple of years?

Holy shit is he like a chimpanzee? His arms and legs are the same length.

No Willis, the writer, has a fetish for short stacked Lesbians and he writes them in all his works

there's only 1 gay guy that's the main character who's plot is mostly about transformers now, and 2 bi male characters; one who wants to date transformers gay guy and the other one literally only has sex as a means to ruin someone's life

>the other one literally only has sex as a means to ruin someone's life
This might be the greatest act of ironic bigotry I have ever seen.
Shine on you golden turd.

wait so he's gay now?

>Literally everyone in college is gay

Willis went from "omg sheltered Christian boi" all the way to "lol everyone experiments in college ;)".

It's like instead of realising "Oh, the things my church said were bad don't actually happen", he decided "The things my church said would happen aren't bad things!"

who, eric? mike has been bi since shortpacked

did you start reading this with us?

Mike being bi has been a thing since the last comic, it barely ever comes up but there's some precedent for it

He only ever fucks guys as a means to hurt other people but there's precedent

That guy couldn't let Mike get dressed inside the dorm room? That would certainly be more "down low" than a Mike walking down the hallway in his short clothes.

I think like that sometimes, but then Willis spends more than one day with Robin and Leslie and it feels like my head is going to explode.

mike wanted to be seen. and erics probably just stupid

>I'm just assuming Willis' ideal body is more muscular and wide than his current amount of flab and depression.
Just look at Jacob. He constantly has his characters drool over him, and he's even made comments on his Tumblr and whatnot about how attractive he thinks Jacob is.

>to make Mary complicit with Ryan's rapes

>i'd read that for a dollar

Mike (the blond guy) is basically a character who's entire personality is "fucking asshole".
Best example I can think of off the top of my head is that, once he proposed to a woman by playing the an audio file of gasps and moans of the woman's mother getting fucked after he "accidentally" gave her the address of a man he knew was a recovering sex addict, somehow edited to say "Will you marry me?"

Sadly, the writer is a fucking idiot, so he tries to have a bunch of other characters act just as dickish (like ruining a family values politician's campaign by somehow converting her into being a lesbian). Except these are all characters we are supposed to have moments where we sympathize with them despite this shit, whereas Mike reaches Black Manta levels of pure spite. As is mentioned occasionally in this thread, Mike is TECHNICALLY bi, it only comes up when he fucks another man to SOMEHOW cause pain to someone else, and literally never elsewise.

>Mike
>An irredeemable one-dimensional troll of a non-person
Well, that's accurate at least. Although him saying that doesn't really excuse the writing.

By being a bad artist.

He's the BUTTMONKEY part of Willis

>Straight
>11. Jocelyne/Josh (likes guys) (Joyce’s sibling)
Needs a new category.

Willis describes Mike as (and I paraphrase here) the part of him that wants to say something that needs to be said, but ultimately does not.
Personally, I took it to mean that Mike is a character who is abrasive and an asshole, but ultimately helpful when it comes to making tough decisions.

But here and elsewhere, Mike just comes off as a complete douchebag who is somehow tolerated by others, much less someone who has friends.

> Because the new Slipshine pin-up is more gay sex. I don't even know why.

Because Willis's fans want to see TEH BUTTSECKS and, (warning: wild guessing ahead) Willis wants to seem like a good progressive pornographer - or, as he calls himself, a "pornlord" - so he'll buckle to pressure. Years back, he blamed the fact that he didn't want to do gay porn on his upbringing.

Which is stupid. You're the ARTIST, Willis. You get to decide what you want to draw. If you do want to draw explicit man-on-man action, then go for it. If you don't... then don't. There are lots of porn artists who set out different guidelines for what they won't do, because they have no interest in it, many of whom are as strident supporters of LGBT+ as you claim you are. So you don't want to draw gay porn. That's okay. It doesn't make you homophobic or a bigot. Going 'oh, I totally would draw some penises touching except for my evil parents' is a copout.

Now, that being said, I'm kind of morbidly curious about what this porn will look like. We've seen his male pinups and how Willis's drawing skill devolves on them, so I'm half-convinced the Slipshine will end up being flesh-coloured squiggles and overly thick lines splattered haphazardly across the page.

>(May 27, 2017)

Here's the only preview you get. It looks to be an extension of the gay sex scene in "Tales of Sinterest".

I pine for the days of porn comics. These pin-ups have summarily been awful. But at least we should be near the end soon.

Who is that fish-faced freak?

DSL

Also, Sunday School was a long time ago for the Willis, he should really let things go now that he's a successful web cartoonist/online personality, married and with two kids.

Also, the reason brings up his Evil Christian Family and not just say he can't really do gay art and make it a guideline is to, once again, make it all about him and his suburban angst. That way when he does do it it's some sort of triumph.

walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Rachel

>Children: Ultra Car
Carla's mother?

walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Car
walkypedia.wikia.com/wiki/Carla

The list has a category for trans women since there are, against all odds, three of them in Dumbing of Age. I just figured it wasn't pertinent at the moment.

>he's a successful web cartoonist/online personality
Is he? I only ever see him brought up here and The Allspark boards.
>with two kids
I feel sorry for them, but am gonna love the autistic rage when his attempts to force them to be fedoracore backfire.

patreon.com/dumbingofage
He makes about $5K a month drawing his comic, so i'll say he's relatively successful.

Damn, I thought Willis was closer to 10K.

I think it was around 7k for a while. You also have to consider the legitimately absurd amount of money he gets from his book Kickstarters.

Rachel only shows up when Willis doesn't want to add new characters to the floor.

Maybe Sayid only owns one shirt.

I wouldn't know, I haven't seen any of the pinups in a while.

>Going 'oh, I totally would draw some penises touching except for my evil parents' is a copout.
We need to get Willis to draw tranny porn. The fallout could be hilarious and he has to do it, no matter how uncomfortable it makes him or how hilariously badly drawn the tranny character is, otherwise he's a bigot.

> when Sup Forums allows this degeneracy

Well, as pointed out, he has 3 trans characters he could use.

I think he'd find some way not to do it, or to avoid drawing the character's downstairs (show them from behind, with a long shirt or skirt hanging down, have them be giving oral, or have a front view with them being doggied, etc etc).

Because if he did draw porn of one of his trans character, I suspect - I don't think it would happen but I suspect - it would become a shitshow as the fans that wanted them to have a penis went after him, the fans that wanted them to have a pussy did the same, others accused him of fetishizing trans people.

I think he'd know that, so like above - he'd either not do it, or find a way to do it that still leaves the character's genitals ambiguous.

What you could do is find a good artist, commission them for porn of that character and have a variant piece done, so there's a dick and slit pic of them. Post both with a poll 'which do you prefer' and then watch everything burn.

He'd just cop out by having them screwing each other under black bed sheets in a windowless room with the lights out at night.

Except in this case he could simply use Josh/Jocelyn. Pre-op and possibly even pre-transition.

You're memeing Varg wrong. It needs to be a command, for example
>Stop reading David Willis comics

How can Willis make me hate characters I actually used to kinda like?

Mike is just fucking terrible now

It's easy. He just has to forget about the traits that made your favorite characters tolerable and go with whatever he feels is necessary in order to advance the plot.

How is what Mike is doing now any worse than what he did to Dina in It's Walky?

Depends: What did he do?
I've never bothered to read "It's Walky".

The point really would be to try and put him in a no-win situation where he'd either have to draw laughable tranny porn he doesn't want to, or explain to his fans why he won't.

Weirdly enough when I posted my lewd carla drawings (even the ones involving her cumming in a sandwich or mary sucking her dick) no one had a single bad thing to say to me.

That said i did pre-empt posting them on site by saying "Hey, if you're the kinda person who's gonna give me shit for this, I'd rather not hear it" but I said that more generalized rather than specifically about Carla's dong. I was honestly surprised to be honest.
Many years ago, as a gag I drew a short half assed doodle of Dina and Faz together and some guy responded to me CONSTANTLY talking about what an awful person I was for drawing that. For like half a year.

I think the fact that your lewds with Carla are most crackshipping and ribaldry help a great deal.

Basically exactly what he's doing to Ethan right now, except done specifically to hurt Dina.

Why do you people read this?

Why do this to yourselves?

I can't speak for anyone else but I used to be a HUGE fan in high school and it's cathartic for me to actually discuss my issues with the comic in an environment where people won't shit down my throat for insinuating that Willis is anything but the second coming of jesus

I generally just can't stand (from most severe to least):
1. Willis' shitty attitude,
2. The monolithic comments section and
3. The mediocre-to-bad comic.

So, I'm glad I can just comment here, and not get dogpiled, like you mentioned. Especially for stuff like the inarguably shitty, lazy art, which abounds.

I also find the idea of closing comments for rough subjects to be incredibly patronizing.

Wait, people actually read the comments section? Good lord.... like I just skim it ffs.

So I've been binge reading this comic: is Willis just on a mission to make every character not named Walky or Dorothy gay and/or lesbian?

I just check these threads for art of THICC Joyce.

I used to stay up until midnight to comment on his comic all the time. It's the reason why, for the most part, I can get into all the arguments I want and draw whatever the fuck. Because most people know me there and Know I've commented on his comics for years. So I won't get insta-banned like most other people.

I have commented and read parts of sections, I have generally stopped entirely since I started posting about the comic here.

I mean, that is the worst ship, but it's not worth more than a 'why would you draw that'

To feel good about my own writing.

Yoto is the hero we need

I'm just here for the bad porn. Where's the bad porn? Give me bad porn.

...

...

This is an edit, right? I can tell because of the way the proud womyn of color is resolving an incredibly mild situation the obvious, easy way instead of becoming a snide 'better-than-thou' to make a point about how white people are ruining EVERYTHING.

And also because I think I recall the original strip.

>those fingers
Jesus Christ Willis. There's being a lazy cunt who can't be bothered to draw hands and then there's just regressing to the artistic ability of a small child.

I like arguing.

>turns out Asma isn't Muslim but Lebanese Christian
>she wears the headscarf to hide a bald spot

In Willis' defence, I can kinda understand why she was pissed off in the original. I'd be pretty pissed off too if my parents had named me after a respiratory disease.

>stopped reading around after becky showed up as lesbian
>mike is now gay
nani?

You probably have at least one bi friend and don't even know about it

Mike is bi just like everybody else unless they're a lesbian

Mike has been canon Bi since SP! though, he fucked Ethan but married Amber

Wait, so Mike trying to fuck Ethan in DoA is just another holdover from Shortpacked?

a good rule of thumb, if you think you're reading an original idea in DOA it's probably something Willis did before or the EXACT opposite so he can say he fooled you

It means Supreme you shitlord!!!!!!!
