Dumbing of Age

Last night, Willis took the sliding timescale to a new level, and brought Danny and Joe to a building that won't even be finished in real life until at least Fall '17.

And tonight's comic is below. Don't expect much.

And tonight, Joe continues to apparently be an avatar of some of Willy's self-hatred, as are all of his characters that do nerdy/geeky things, really.

Oh wow, stereotype jokes.

Free yourselves from this bullshit. Willis only has power if you're paying attention to him.

I took a week-long break from DoA threads for the 4th of July weekend. But it doesn't mean that it's stopped being approximately thirty-three (33) days since Amber stabbed Ryan.

Speaking of which, this journey to the Comp Sci building had better lead into meeting Carla or Amber again. Swear to God.

I haven't read in like a year. I see Willis watched 13 Reasons Why and decided to do a shitty list story.

for those who missed it in the last thread, I finally actually voiced the stabstravaganza

vocaroo.com/i/s0dW52GcAi4f

song is 'the forgiveness song' from veggietales

How does a list factor into "13 Reasons Why"?
Because Joe's "Do" List has been set up since the earliest days of the comic. I can buy him using it now to ape on the series (Just look at every other "ripped from the headlines" story in DoA), but I just want to know more since I'm probably never going to bother watching the series.

You're too good for this world, VA user.

IT was a big part of why she killed herself. She was on a list and it was one of the reasons everyone started to call her a slut.

Since it's fanbase is Willis's audience I figured it would make sense for him to try and mirror it a bit for that usual "Hello fellow young people!" feeling he gives off.

I forgot Joe had one since the start though.

Also in my year away, outside of this apparently stabbing, what did I miss? Did Ethan and Danny fuck yet?

They wandered into Google Images.

Fuck off Willis.

in the last year
>ruth had a 'suicidal breakdown' after mary blackmailed her with her relationship with billie so she could torment carla
>ruth's grandpa showed up and was as 2-dimensional as you can expect
>leslie and robin hooked up, roz used it to ruin robin's career
>becky got a new apartment(crashing on leslie's couch)
>becky got a new job
>becky got everything she wanted
>becky got a new phone
>becky hijacked robin's twitter and used it to make tweets about how awesome her dino girlfriend is
>rapin ryan showed back up at a robin voting party
>sal and amber bonded over chasing after him
>rapin ryan stalked dorothy, tried to threaten to stab joyce
>amber beat the shit out of him on the dorm's front steps
>then took his knife and stabbed him

and now you're caught up

That's Willis' trademark. He "researches" a real-life location by finding one single picture of it, copying that picture exactly, and alternates between using the main picture as a giant flat background image and drawing such tight close-ups that the details of the background are completely obscured. Realism!

God fucking dammit fuck Becky.

Well, nobody's threatening suicide yet. Everybody just wants to kill Joe instead.
Which is par for the course, given how Rapin' Ryan returned when the Brock Turner case made headlines. Through Ryan, Willis expressed his desire to dress up as a superhero and punch Ryan/Brock in the face; recently he expressed interest in ambiguously stabbing Ryan as well.

Speaking of Becky, she's now attempting to hook up Leslie with two characters who, at this moment, serve little to no other purpose than to be lesbian objects of desire for Leslie.

so I sent my buddy my new recording with no context

>That's...weird. Dumb?
>really, really dumb

eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I am admittedly slightly amused

Slightly

Maybe if he stayed away from the SJW shit... well it wouldn't be good but it might be slightly more readable.

Brilliant

I wonder.

The Room is a masterpiece because of how bad it is...if Tommy wiseau could speak clearly, actually deliver his lines, and the dialogue made sense, it would have nothing worth watching in it.

Remember when Willis said he didn't want to end a strip without some humor because he didn't want people to be triggered to bits?

What happened to that? Middle strip is legit threatening for anyone who's been assaulted while being completely non-threatening due to retarded circumstances

don't you know? seeing a 'bad person' get assaulted isn't triggering!

"The Room but with modern social issues (and a lot fucking slower)" is probably the best way to describe DoA in twelve words.

All it's missing is every actor thinking that they're the one carrying the film.

>mfw picturing tommy wiseau deflecting criticism about 'The Room' by going on a rant about how it's totally not about ethics in video game journalism

the horror

Played out and not funny.

Also he did another Escher joke that was somehow more shitty than his original one. It's fairly evocative, but not that humorous. Also, why does the place being like a Escher Death star make it "not the worst place." He just came up with that turn of phrase and forced it into the strip.

And then Disney's Robin Hood is the "irresistible guy" example he goes for? It's like some sort of "was pop culture at some point" mad lib.

I'm glad that Patreanon is back, though.

When are we gonna see Mary again?

...

>Two "CS majors are all smelly nerds" strips in a row

Chads and women aren't even all that uncommon in CS these days desu.

I don't get this whole ukulele appeal

Is this how he becomes so smart and created his own company and ultra car?

He got smart because Aliens gave him superpowers.

Maybe this is how he'll become smart in this universe! And maybe human Carla will be the basis for Car Ultra car like Arnold in Terminator 3!

>lol nerds amirite
I'd tell Willis he needs new material, but considering his track record for rehashing, it would be a waste of time.

Aliens would explain how Amber can do half the shit she does without actual muscles.

The whole comic is a waste of time.

Don't you think that we would have stopped by now if we could?

please dangle your udders in my face while you're murdering me amber

>cowgirl Amber

As is commenting on the matter.

>Speaking of Becky, she's now attempting to hook up Leslie with two characters who, at this moment, serve little to no other purpose than to be lesbian objects of desire for Leslie.
And one of them is interested, while the other is just rude.

I believe user meant that the middle of the 3 strips ends on an unpleasant note that is creepier than Becky's mom trying to overdose.

This whole ridiculous storyline reminds me of two people in my past, one of which I can't seem to get rid of. I'm definitely uncomfortable with how the story is being handled. It's callous.

>And then Disney's Robin Hood is the "irresistible guy" example he goes for? It's like some sort of "was pop culture at some point" mad lib.
I'm equally baffled. It feels like Joe is implying that he's a furry. There are plenty of desirable men in the media that aren't literal foxes from decades ago.

Why not James Bond or something? Don Draper, maybe? You know, an actual ladies' man? Robin Hood in the Disney movie only had eyes for Maid Marian. No one else even seemed romantically interested in him anyway.

Also, in the strip, "do not throw themselves at me" is awkward because of the avoidance of a contraction for literally no reason.

Or maybe aliens sapped the strength of all the bad guys, which would explain the part where Joyce punches out a man who is easily 3 times her size.

I think he's implying that Female CS Majors in particular would be likely to be attracted to Disney's Robin Hood. It's just a poorly constructed joke.

>is awkward because of the avoidance of a contraction for literally no reason.
It feels natural since this is him disconnecting. Speech like that is really cold.

10/10

That's also true.

What is the purpose of Anna being a cunt to everybody, anyways? In real life, assholes generally tend to avoid conversation with strangers unless provoked.

Becky is a provoking person, especially when she is spacing out on someone's pirated twitter account while other people are queuing up.

>stabstravaganza
Should be exstabaganza desu

Oh, Amber! You've killed again, haven't you?

I want to dispute this, but I was in fact a female CS major and Disney's Robin Hood was my first crush, which seems to be pretty typical for female nerds, actually? There weren't enough other female CS majors around to collect statistically significat data.

I'm sure it was Willis' first crush too when he was in school. That doesn't make the joke good.

He's probably known a few Moderately Attractive Nerd Girls, in search of his real-life Amber.

Now that he's got one and had a couple kids, actual Amber isn't that appealing anymore.

I'm not sure if blonde lesbian is interested in Lesley as much as she is interested in cock blocking her friend/ long term crush

True. It's really hard to tell. And it looks like it's going to be a while before we skip back to them.

It looks like she's wearing a space helmet from some shitty 50's sci-fi show, but it's filled with shit.

I was gonna say that it reminds me of that one MAD (Cartoon network show) skit with the hardening chocolate ice cream sauce being marketed as hair gell.
I wish i could find it.

Found it.

>we really were the Dumbing of Age™
Really Willis?

The alt-text for this strip says that "this building won't actually exist for another couple of months".

So Willis is more or less confirming that we're still in 2010. A sliding-timescale version of 2010, but still.

Can you math?

>a building that won't even be finished in real life until at least Fall '17

>7 years vs. a couple of months
>somehow 2010 still

I started getting annoyed with the sliding timescale when he showed someone playing on a 2DS.
It was a minor thing, but still.

I started getting annoyed when he started making references to Jurassic World. It really throws me off when he starts making relevant pop culture comments, especially if you look back at the old strips and seeing how outdated everything is.

I remember early on that he referenced the chick-fill-a LGBT incident, which really dates it.

Man, never read Detective Conan. A series that has been going for 20+ years, multiple Christmases, smartphones being common plot elements now, etc. and yet only 1 year has passed in universe.

Have Danny and Ethan fucked YET? Literally the only reason I come to these threads.

Nope. Probably will be another year or two.

God. Damnit.

Well, Conan is a lot better written.

Just write your own sultry tale of a milquetoast, Jewish, Transformers fanatic and a kinda low-key douchy, Indiana hipster wannabe.

probably longer because one of the things that happened over the timeskip was Ethan disappearing along with Amber.

...

Amber, now unburdened by morality or sanity, has Ethan tied down to a bed in an abandoned hotel. Feeding him a steady diet of Viagra and methamphetamine, she will not stop raping him until she is carrying his baby.

That is my second favorite edit ever of DoA.

Right behind pic related.

Amber hasn't disappeared, I don't think. She's just MIA.
Ethan, however, is confirmed to be actually probably missing.

Actually, VA user, if you're still here, I'd LOVE for you to do this edit as a quickie.

Even if you don't think you can sing, I know you can edit audio. Just do Becky's lines, and play Freddy Mercury's audio for Toedad. If you sing Toedad's lines to the tune of 'Don't Stop Me Now', that'd just be a bonus.

If you really wanted more materiel, you could always do a Toedad edit compilation.

...

For Becky, every day is Taco Tuesday.

Maybe you can help me.

This pic made me remember one of the "Brown Girls". I'm pretty sure it was Yoto, and it had Joyce, Carol, and Jocelyne in skimpy clothes.

I can't find it anywhere. Maybe my Google-fu is getting rusty.

Ha, I just got home from work and was about to make a post asking for requests.

Sure, Don't Stop Me Now is one of my all-time favourite songs.

Did you want me to sing it cut with Becky, or sing toedad arguing about waifus?

I think hard cutting back and forth from the song to Becky's dialogue would be the funniest way to do it, but you're the creative one.

Any other Toedad edits you have time for like the Lupin III or pic related would just be a bonus on top of that.

Just to clarify, because looking back it's not clear, when I said "this edit" I meant the Queen one. The Lupin III and others would just be icing on the cake for me.

But do whatever you think would be good. It's your time and energy, after all.

dropbox.com/s/wfrn4g5e59kchms/DumbingofSmut (1).docx?dl=0

You didn't hear it from me.

You should voice-over some of Yoto's comics sometime!

I did voice one of the porn comics, I just feel like Yoto puts actual effort into her stuff, having a manly parody voice doesn't fit them.

>Yoto
>her
Um, VA user....

isn't yoto a femanon?

could have sworn...

99.9% sure he's a dude.

But I'm a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, and we're all dudes, so hey.

I'm GirlAnon, and I can verify that we are all dudes. Even my boyfriend calls me "dude" sometimes. "Dude" should be considered a gender-neutral term, but "dudette" is also acceptable.

youtube.com/watch?v=BVj8peo1WGo

When everybody's a dude, nobody is.

I agree; "dude" is perfectly gender neutral with a male bias in culture, hence the redundant creation of "dudette". But it's all good.

Personally, I just call everybody "Yo". As in, "Yo, shut up" or "Nice ass, yo." or "Yo, take the knot" or even "That's my chicken nugget box, yo!"

>Yo, take the knot
Does....does that come up a lot in your every day life?

>"Nice ass, yo."
>"Yo, shut up"
>"Yo, take the knot"
>"Yo, shut up"


>"That's my chicken nugget box, yo!"
>"Yo, shut up"

Just figured I'd arrange these in a likely order of use.

Every time I see a Frank I'll think of the story that Rich "Leech" Johnston told after Dillon died about how Dillon was aware of the Frankface meme and deliberately played it up in his art because of it. Cool guy, that Steve Dillon.

>only 1 year
You're pulling my leg.

>dat Joyce

>Detective Conan
It's Nip-shit. You can't go by what they do unless you want everything to eventually be a metaphor for the atomic bomb, and all turn out to be some bastardized religious allegory.

I thought what's his face was trying to cuck danny and it's the only reason I read this crap. because Ethan is better off with an asshole than danny.

That subplot hasn't been touched since...

...February? Jesus Christ, I thought there was something else more recent.

I'm just gonna leave this here.
