Dumbing of Age

First it was the trash bin, and tonight a giant stupid chair. Ruth's reign of violence against inanimate objects must end!

And Amber, for fuck's sake, if you want privacy GO TO YOUR ROOM. She's been playing musical chairs in the foyer for hours now.

>Telling a Muslim to shut her ass

And this is the moment Willis' dicksucking fanbase turns on him!

I can already see several things wrong with this specific strip from the get-go.

>Panel One and Two
Asma is showing concern for Ruth's well-being. This is very much out of character for Asma, who we have seen as a disgruntled postal worker in almost every appearance she has ever made. If she's showing concern for Ruth due to some previous connection between the two that has never been made known until this point, then fucking hell, Willis, you're doubling if not tripling down on Tell Don't Show.

>Panel Five
I'm pretty sure that not even the most /fit/ of superheroines can kick a five-cubic-foot chair into the air and out of the dimensional plane, not to mention Ruth's posture while doing so. Seriously, if Ruth doesn't come out of this with a broken foot, then clearly nothing bad can ever happen to bisexuals, which Ruth apparently is now. Also, those overalls don't looks like they offer much in the way of flexibility.

>Panel Six
As OP said, Amber needs to fuck off back to her own room already. Meanwhile, I still have no idea why Willis thinks that Amber needs a wire to access the Internet. Wireless Internet is wireless for a reason; the background radiation of the seventy-odd routers in the vicinity should be boring through her skull right now, not to mention the fabric of the chairs.

Couldn't it be a charger for her 3DS?

the wire is actually an antenna because her chair fort blocks the wifi signal. i'm not sure how you attach such a thing to a 3DS but that's what it's there for

No, I think in an earlier strip she said it was specifically for her wireless connection.

>the wire is actually an antenna because her chair fort blocks the wifi signal.

Which really makes no sense, unless the chairs are made out of like 2 inch thick concrete or some bullshit

I think your first complaint is a bit of nitpick considering she was there for Clint's dressing down of Ruth. However, Willis is remiss in not indicating that RAs work the desk alongside non-RA staff so that a coworker familiarity exists.

You know what, good point. Why the hell hasn't Amber run out of power for the DS?

Okay that's actually a pretty good sight gag. I'll put it on par with a "throws item offscreen, hears crashing sound, looks horrified and guilty" gag.

>sight gag
But there's no gag. It's just a lesbian breaking physics again.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING JOKE, WILLIS?

You might call it nitpicking, but I call it shitpicking.

But I think I have a point in that we've yet to see Asma remember a person's name without reference material, much less show concern for anybody else. In the nine comics in which she's tagged (and yes, it is only nine comics), she only speaks in four of them. All of them have her using a reference to name a person; three are for packages and the fourth is Pic Related. In the other five strips, which includes today and yesterday's strips (not tomorrow's strip in OP's post), she is either not speaking or literally a shadow in the background.

We've no reason to assume that Asma knows anybody's name, much less Ruth's. Hell, from the four strips where Asma has any dialogue, HER name isn't even dropped.

>And Amber, for fuck's sake, if you want privacy GO TO YOUR ROOM. She's been playing musical chairs in the foyer for hours now.
And like... Dina is quietest person ever. She hardly talks and is almost invisible. And she's usually out with Becky. Becky doesn't want to be trapped in a dorm room, especially if she has a chance of getting caught. Amber's room is one of the safest on the floor.

Is it illegal to note Billie's alcoholic status in front of a non-permitted person? That's gotta be a HIPPA violation.

Clearly she's aware enough to realize that almost everyone in this comic is an asshole and warrant so little respect that even using their name is too much and the current comic just reinforced that.

Also I choose to believe that the poor linework and coloring in panel five indicate that Asma has giant tits and a big, fat ass on an hourglass body.

She greeted everyone as they came in and she gives everyone their mail. She knows literally everyone's name.

If she was charged as an adult it would be a matter of public record. If she was charged as a minor the university shouldn't know about it at all. Either way, Billie has grounds to sue.

Would've most likely happened as a minor, because Asma told her not to drink in the dorms on move-in day. Either that, or she had a VERY eventful summer before college.

I think we're supposed to empathize with Ruth somewhat by seeing that she's exhibiting kick the cat as her Grandad heaps shit on her and she heaps it on those around her. It's been the character since Billie was in her closet and heard Clint berate her over the phone.

It's not working, though. I don't care why, she's still an asshole to people who don't deserve it, while failing to help her brother. What a coward.

And I guess she doesn't express remorse towards Asma but she does towards Amber? Is it because she meant to do it to Asma, but accidentally "almost hurt" Amber? She's still lashing out and being a dick, whether or not she intended for someone to receive the brunt of it is immaterial.

And on top of all that, as soon as someone has something over her, she curls up and hides instead of taking whatever punishment may come.

Why would Asma get involved and why would Ruth react like that?

Does Willis think that having a rough life makes it ok to treat people like shit?

I just want to see her get into a fight and then see her get her ass kicked. She's such a fucking obnoxious unlikable cunt.

You could literally be describing any of the three characters in this particular strip.

The little wingdings above her head would indicate surprise more than remorse.

>person A angrily kicks thing
>person B is sitting under thing person A kicked
>person A looks flustered and horrified

It's a simple joke, but I like it

...

That's not a joke. That's a series of events.

The only way I could see it passing as a joke is if the audience wasn't already painfully aware that Amber was under the chair.

What's the point of Asma again in the last panel?

...

The readers are too dumb to realize that Ruth's actions where bad without a staunch moral authority

It's basically a look that Asma is so done with everyone around her, it contrasts with her genuine look of anger at having Ruth tell her off. It's poor comic making, using a supplementary reaction/commentary to the "punchline" rather than letting it stand on its own.

Of course the punchline is also terrible, but the solution isn't to have someone react as if "it's so wacky" or "I can't believe these girls." Like said, we literally saw Amber under overturned chairs and now Ruth is kicking over the chair, so of course Amber would be under it. This would've been way better as a gag if Amber was hiding under various objects standing normally, and this was the latest in a series and was more goofy or outlandish than the last.

The joke would have worked if he had used Ethan instead of Amber.

Ssma's presence is to show you how you're meant to react to Ruth right now.

>What a coward.

She needs to act with integrity and drive into oncoming traffic with no regrets already.

Panel 7 is how I react to DoA on a nightly basis anyway, so I've got that covered.

Maybe you should get royalties for that.

You know, with how much time we spent watching Amber, it's weird how we never saw Ethan leave.

She killed and ate him. Now he'll always be inside her.

Bet she wishes she'd thought of that on prom night

reposting:

I'm going to be going into the studio a little later.

Any voice requests?

I had someone request that I do something involving robin, anything else?

I'd like some strips involving Ryan. Specifically, I want to hear him as ridiculous as possible. Over the top and thoroughly unthreatening. Could use some catharsis right now.

>That final panel

Oh joy, will she behead the dyke and all the other piece of shit characters in this comic?

sounds like fun!

>Shut the fuck up dumbass dunecoon, why don't you stop supporting the patriarchy by taking off your veil if you want to be of use
jesus Willis

>shut yer ass
Asma confirmed anal fiend.

It's the moment a Fatwa gets issued against you, and strange men come to your house to cut your head off

Asma continued to be best girl.

It isn't premarital sex and shameful to her family if she's taking it up the ass.

He draws that muslim girl very poorly

>Clearly she's aware enough to realize that almost everyone in this comic is an asshole and warrant so little respect that even using their name is too much and the current comic just reinforced that.
That's conjecture.

>She greeted everyone as they came in and she gives everyone their mail. She knows literally everyone's name.
And that's fanfiction.

There's still no evidence in the actual comic itself to identify that Asma knows everybody's name and to have attached those names to faces.

Well, it's not like he's drawn her regularly before. Now he has to scramble to give her a design that can be used in the long-term.

>And that's fanfiction.

Sure.

>tfw no qt irritable muslim gf who keeps her hijab on while taking it up the bumhole
Can we at least get some porn of this?

That's still using a reference.
And even if she does know Billie's face, it's a weak connection since she refers to her as "the alcoholic" more than once.

>>He expects something made by Willis to adhere to realism.

You... ARE aware that you can operate a DS on batteries, and that they can be changed,right?

So clearly Ruth will either go back to being as abusive as she was originally, or she cranks it up to 12.

"If *I* have to suffer, then by God *EVERYONE* is gonna suffer, too!!!

Well, for 24 hours at least untill she takes her next dump.

It's ok because spite

That's a fair point, but the Dumbiverse is still supposed to be nailed in realism. But I think Willis took the concept of a realistic setting and figured it meant that it had to take place in a real-world setting, which I suppose is why Willis goes out of his way to use reference photographs for locations but can't be arsed to obey physics, much less common sense and logic.

>Spite!
>Now available on college campuses everywhere!

...

Where will Ryan be next?

She hasn't left her little nest in hours, and she's actively playing games on her DS. She has to lose power eventually.

I'd love if you could do this one at some point giving Willy some ridiculous voice

That would be a magnum opus I would delight in listening to.

oh god, this was real?

I had always hoped this was pasta that Sup Forums made to point out he's child-like.

There is nothing that we can make up that is more ridiculous that willy actually is.

That is genuinely sad but also true.

Well, we did collectively confabulate the term "ass barfy" since he never actually said those exact words, but several people remembered reading them.

user, we are talking about a man who has developed his childhood Transformers OC into a roller-skating tranny who fights the evil forces of his former Christian fundie self. And that's without even mentioning parents.

Willis is never going to move past childhood. Especially since he also seems to hate psychiatry.

>childlike beauty
what did he mean by this

He means that he's convinced that he's not aged past 12 years old.

He looks way younger than he actually is. He looks like he's in his 20s or 30s, but he's actually in his 40s.

alright, heading into the studio now.

WHY DOES ANYONE PUT UP WITH THAT GINGER TWAT'S BULLSHIT?

Holy fuck, enough is enough. I don't give a shit if Carla is a tranny, somebody needs to give that punk a solid boot to the ass.

That's Ruth. She's bi. She isn't trans.

I mean, I agree that Ruth shouldn't be tolerated, but she's not Carla, nor is she trans.

You'd think a good cartoonist wouldn't have two similar designs for characters with similar personalities, and you'd be right.

A good cartoonist wouldn't do that.

It's weird because if Amber really was a psycho, she'd be the last person Ruth would want to fuck with

Ruth is one of the few characters with different hair, they don't really look similar, unless all you can see is that they both have red hair.

>redhead
>glasses
>asshole
Who am I talking about?

vocaroo.com/i/s0X0iYodFTHv

>willis has explosive seizures over 'stress' while in relaxed environments
what.

It's not relaxed- the oppression is palpable, user.

but he's a white man.

carla.

ruth is a bitch.

but he *feels* for the oppressed, he feels for them so much, can't you tell?

wrong.

vocaroo.com/i/s1YRm7Qx9zPD

how's my trump/robin?

Oh also, Ruth's chin became a disgusting looking hard corner at some point.

She looks like if she hugged you too hard, you'd bleed out. Someone should check Billie's shoulders for scars.

She could cosplay a shovel with her face.

She looks like a monopoly house capsized.

It's lucky she's an alcoholic, her bottle opener is never far from her mouth.

She goes through pillows like toilet paper.

When she rests her chin on her hands she gets stigmata. Sal tried to give her a pair of her gloves to wear.

It's a really pointy chin.

What happened to the user who registered the Kylo2007 twitter? Is it still there, did they do anything with it?

vocaroo.com/i/s0BkBdwLKE5o

final request, someone wanted a pathetic-sounding Rapin' Ryan

There's a Muslim now? Let me guess, she's a sympathetic character even despite this comic's obnoxious anti-religiousness.

She's been in the comic pretty much since its inception, she's just not anywhere near being a main character. She just stands at the residence desk and pulls faces.

necrobumper

Accurate.

...

So when will Aisha there be stoned to death for walking without a male relative as an escort?

...

>HIPPA
She works in a dorm, not a hospital.

I'm pretty sure any institution with access to your medical records of any kind has to abide by HIPPA. I could be wrong.

I wonder if that girl knows she worships a child-raping warlord
