In tonight's strip, Walky expresses the wishes of most of Big Willy's comment section and Mike is sent to his death.

>>86748524
Some people just don't have eyebrows, anon. Look at Whoopi Goldberg.

>>86748714
this takes place directly after the strip two days ago and has nothing to do with yesterdays

fuck you, willis

>>86748714
Oh look, everyone suddenly hates Mike and wants him to leave. Can't imagine where that came from.

>>86748714
Remember last thread an anon said Walky was the only one who wasn't terrible two strips ago?

There you go. Now everyone is terrible.

>>86748714
You know if Mike dies he is going to have to be canonized on /doag/ like Mary

>>86748714
You can't have him hanging around if literally no one wants him around.

It doesn't make any sense!

>>86748742
theyve always hated mike
well, joyce didnt. i think she got the idea more gradually

>>86748714

>Joyce holding back Mike

Ah, pretty sure it'd be out of character for Mike to just take that.

>>86748757
She mostly didn't get his insults, but I think that time he said hail satan into her phone at her mom was probably the line.

>>86748714
>bringing up the baseball bat
FORESHADOWING
Ryan's gonna get the Louisville Slugger to the head again, I bet.

Y'know, with how Walky is talking about using the baseball bat as a murder weapon, you'd think Willis might realize that Ryan should have died at the party.

>>86748741
Welcome to Willis' ADD pacing. If this were a film, we'd be intercutting all over the place like some kind of Michael Bay joint.

>>86748742
I know you're being sarcastic, but it came from Willis running out of antagonists since he apparently can't think to just either create a new antagonist or bring an older one back from the dead.

Well, "dead" in terms of DoA.

>>86748753
Again, Willis needs an antagonist for this storyline, and Mike is the only one available.

>>86748765
>>86748776
These make me wonder what exactly a person like Mike would be like in real life. Like, I'm a jackass myself, but I'm at least tolerable. One of the Patreon strips had Mike send a picture of his balls to his own parents.

I feel like somebody like Mike is a person who never got attention as a kid unless they were to lash out in outlandish ways, and it became a trait that stuck with them since they didn't know any other way to become noticed. Or something like that; I'm assuming that Willis doesn't think that deeply about Mike's character and just goes "He's always been an asshole. Deal with it."

>>86748776
That was the strip that got me into DoA, actually

>>86748497
She never actually attempted or threatened anything, right?

This is extreme.

>>86748916
No, she literally just slept in.

63KB, 488x494px

people actually read this shit?

>>86748916
She got a hangover and slept in on a Sunday

>>86748916

Nope. She just laid in bed. That was literally it. She never even said "I want to kill myself" or any variation. She broke up with Billie and then just kinda laid in bed.

That's NORMAL after a breakup, isn't it? That's my preferred method of coping with a sad breakup. Spend a little bit of time wallowing in misery and then get up and back to life. Yeah, she's an alcoholic- but this is nuts. She needs AA meetings or something, not a psych hold.

>>86748936
What's worse is there are people who unironically enjoy it.

>>86748714
We have Mike because people sympathized with Mary too much. Next to Rape-man, Mike is the next antagonist of the comic.

>>86748936

They do, Miss Flavisham. I'm so sorry to destroy what little hope you had left and what brief joy you had in this world.

>>86748843

>These make me wonder what exactly a person like Mike would be like in real life.

He wouldn't be. He was conceived and spent his whole run as an extreme over-the-top asshole who could be in bed with two people at the same time in different places as long as it helped fuck with people. His sole "good side" traits come out in response to either liquor or alien invasions, otherwise he juggles between being an asshole to be an asshole, and pointing out harsh truths to his "friends" in a vague attempt to get them to recognize him (while also enjoying fucking with people).

That over-the-top, exaggerated character can't exist in DoA. The premise is too grounded (allegedly) to support him. His character would require some intricate writing to keep him toeing the line between "over-excessive asshole" and "harsh but well-intentioned person/friend".

Much more intricate writing than Willy is capable of providing.

>>86748936

There are people who actually read Assigned Male and defend it as a pillar of transexual activism or whatever.

They're crazy. They're insane. Their minds are warped perhaps beyond all reason and it'd probably be in humanity's best interest when they inevitably realize how the world actually works and end up offing themselves.

>>86749037
>pointing out harsh truths
See, that's what I got from Mike's character when Willis said that Mike represented Willis' repressed desire to say harsh but necessary things to his own friends. But I've barely gotten that at all from his portrayal in DoA.

>His character would require some intricate writing to keep him toeing the line between "over-excessive asshole" and "harsh but well-intentioned person/friend".
Not necessarily. It would require some tact, yes, but you would just have to simplify him. Maybe have him only speak up when he needs to say something.

>>86749088
Ech.

>>86749100
From what I remember, the idea was that Carla assumed that Ruth was doing okay after being asked to check on her by Billie, but then some other conversation happened in which Carla realized that just because somebody says they're okay, it doesn't mean that they are. After that, Carla barged into Billie's room and used her man-strength to haul Billie's fat Asian ass into the hallway.

>>86748497
Jesus-fucking-Christ I hate this comic.

But I can't look away. God dammit.

Leafing through the comments for the strip before OP, it looks like the sycophants are actually somewhat split on whether they like Mike or not.

Odd, I thought it'd be universal, but there are a decent amount who want more of him.

>>86749494

Related, their recent hate all comes from his comments on Billie fucking Ruth, and it being picking on a "mentally ill/sensitive person" or something.

It reminds me, what was Billie's impetus for being "depressed"? As far as I recall her whole arc was basically:

>Is a bitch former cheerleader
>Bullied by RA then hooks up with RA
>RA turns out suicidal for some reason, so Billie says "Lol I am too"

And that's about where it ends.

>>86748714

Wouldn't Mike and Sarah get along perfectly though? They can talk about how awful everyone else is and how much they hate them.

You know, if I was Willis, this would be the punchline I'd be building up to- have everyone try to keep two hostile, negative people apart, only to fail but then discover that they actually get along fine. Not a gutbuster, but a pretty decent joke all things considered.

>>86749494
what are you doing actually reading the comments instead of just listening to what other anons claim theyre saying

>>86749566

Well admittedly, it's a slimy task that I don't undertake often.

>>86749556
she was super popular in high school and then lost it all because of her DUI, then when she gets to college no one has any interest in her and the kind of people she used to hang out with think shes a weird nerd
thats all before ruth even entered the scene

though, yeah, she was never suicidal like ruth. ruth was half her chance to "fix" someone and feel good about herself again, and half regular old stockholm syndrome

>>86749559

The comic lacks in good dynamics. I wouldn't complain.

I want raid Willypedia.

But I want to wait until something suitably momentous happens.

Like a Slipshine

>>86749083
This is the Chris Chan effect, people want to put fuel so the trainwreck can keep running

>>86749559

Please let this be his next slipshine. Both of them climax while shouting out the names of people they can't stand and why they can't stand it. Other than that, totally vanilla.

http://pastebin.com/5MwZPhsE

>>86749559
He tend to avoid putting the 'designated asshole' characters together. Mike and Sarah and Carla all stay in their different parts of the plot.

Carla and Mike being friends should be a thing, if not Mike and Sarah, and I don't understand why it's not.

>>86749835
They tightened up the security since the last time we did that, so unless someone can hack the website, we'll need to think of something else.

>>86750017
What'd you do, by the way?

>>86748497
I am legit upset that willis and by extension most of the tumblrinas who he pander too think that what has happened is actual depression. Fuck these cuts are the type who never worked a day in their life and who feeling a but sad means that they wanna kill themselves

>>86748979
She made a few comments about death being a good idea, but that was only after prodding.

>>86749559
Even if Mike did try and wind Sarah up, I would've loved to see Sarah from the start of the strip deal with that. There was a smartness to her dislike of people and a quickness to her wit. Current Sarah might just buckle under the social pressure or something.

Of course, all of that just depends on whether Willis is gearing up for a punchline or a serious moment.

>>86750095
I just kept adding the Subscriper comic links.

Mike and Mary should hang out, they'd become friends!

>>86750475
Mike and Mary should have one scene where he casually pretends to be a Satanist and Mary fucking wets herself

>>86750484
and then a slipshine

>>86750503
>An entire slipshine based on golden showers

I want this non-sexually

>>86750484
>Mike and Mary are talking after a church service
>Mary is enjoying herself
>Relays story of how she went to church with a bunch of fakers
>Mike says he's a satanist
>Mary is taken aback, but because she thinks Mike is cute, tries to convert him instead (at least he believes in a biblical figure)
>Mary berates him with an intensity that surprises Mike
>Mike tries to defend his phony position/faith, but can't beat Mary
>Becomes smitten with Mary because she's able to get one over on him
>They start dating and terrorizing everyone who continues to interact with them for no reason.

>>86750553
OTP
>They start dating and terrorizing everyone who continues to interact with them for no reason.

Willis should write this.

>>86750553
I'm only supporting MikexMary if it goes down like BilliexRuth, with Mike terrorizing Mary until it leads to her willing domination just as planned

>>86748765
>Joyce holding back Mike
Is that what is happening in panel 4? But Joyce is behind Mike 2 panels later.

>>86750553
>Mary, I'm a Satanist. I know it must be difficult for you, but by abandoning your hollow faith we can live unbound under the eye of my Dark Master.
>No you're not. Only two types of people are Satanists, rebellious teens and pretentious metalheads. Since you're in a polo and chinos option one is out and since you haven't spent the last half hour talking about how "Maiden totally sold out after Virtual IX" option two isn't it either. Now shut up, kiss me, and help me figure out how to trick my roommate into attending an abortion clinic protest.
>Fine, but I'm telling everyone you do anal.

>>86748748
Walky is terrible because he is annoying and adds nothing to any given situation except awkward stupidity.

>>86750553
>Mary berates him with an intensity that surprises Mike
>Mike tries to defend his phony position/faith, but can't beat Mary
>Becomes smitten with Mary because she's able to get one over on him
bullshit she cant even out-talk roz

>>86750813
Lack of motivation.
She doesn't want to bone Roz.

In this situation, not only does she find Mike to be marriage material, the idea of converting him turns her on even more.

>>86750900
>She doesn't want to bone Roz.
you dont know that

>>86750978
It'd be funny if Roz was totally straight and uncomfortable when being hit on by women only for Mary to start flirting with her constantly until she snapped and looked like a homophobe.

>>86749082

>>86749083

Dobson's left handed? Never noticed that before

>>86754036 is right. Draw more porn, dewd

>>86753808
It's not on the same level, but I did think it was weirdly drawn.

>>86754380

It is when they're a fan purely for the sake of it being "progressive", despite it being so bad it's more likely to divert support for the "cause" than anything

>>86749083

Speaking of which, Dobson's mad at Plebcomics because Pleb keeps fixing his art.

>>86749256
That cunt, he actually wants to talk to Sarah!

>>86753808
Agreed that it's not on the same level, but the similarities are interesting.

>>86755370
>>86756487
Do you think we can get Willis to stab his penis for being racist?

>>86756506
No, but we might be able to guilt him into never writing or drawing another black character again out of white guilt and white male privilege.

Y'know, the fact that Willis makes so much from Patreon while appropriating college culture is pretty ageist of him.

>>86754036>>86754804
Alright. I'll draw something when I get home.

Probably not doa or college USA related. You'd have to pay me for that.

Sfw I can do for free tho.

>>86756604
Willis has an ego way too big to feel like he's wrong. The man thinks it's okay to tell the internet that he didn't jack off until he was 17, he's not like normal people

>>86756340
>Dobson's mad at Plebcomics because Pleb keeps fixing his art.

Oh my god somebody post screencaps!

>>86748497
So the meaning of life was pudding all along.

I mean sure this webcomic has its ups and downs, but it was all worth it for this meaningful message.

>>86757539
The doctor is clearly using sugary treats as both a bribe and reward for positive behavior. Willis is setting the stage for a storyline about Ruth putting on a lot of weight and getting fatshamed, possibly revolving around Billie being admonished by the rest of the cast for no longer finding Ruth attractive when fat. Anyone paying attention to the timeline of the strip will note that Ruth would have had to gain multiple pounds a day in order for the chronology to line up.

>>86757539
Actually, given Willis' penchant for bookends, I predict that DoA ends with somebody upper-deckering the women's toilets. All of them.

>>86758060
The truth is even worse: Not only will Ruth get fat, the new weight will drag down on her skeletal structure, resulting in her becoming shorter.

She's going to be another shortstack for Willis' pile.

>>86758148
Nah, Maggie will notice what he's doing and gently call him out so Willis will keep her shortstack design but retain her original legs, turning Ruth into one of those fat people who look like a brick balancing on top of two sticks.

>>86758243
If not that, then I predict Willis goes the Jacques/Marigold route and make her the healthy kind of chubby that doesn't immediately make salad jokes come to mind.

>>86758287
Amber chubby, in which she's unrealistically athletic for her sedentary lifestyle or unrealistically chubby for being so athletic, or Billie chubby, in which she probably has a normal BMI but people act like she's fat anyway?

>>86758061
How do you upper-deck a commercial toilet?

Here's an example of how Marigold isn't actually as fat as everybody makes her out to be. I mean, I'd smash that.

For what? posting this horrible crap early? That's not worth giving money to the creator. These threads just continue to get more brazen in their promotion of this webcomic. I'm on to you, Willis! The only flaw in my theory is that Willis has never shown any sign of having sufficient tolerance for those that disagree with him that he'd be willing to swallow his pride long enough to selfishly promote himself this way. Perhaps it's a legitimate fan of his. That would explain the patreon source.

>>86762102
I mean, Dosbon threads were a legitimate delight in a train wreck. There's no train wreck here. This is full-blown, drawn-out torture-porn. You're not watching dead bodies after an accident has happened, you're watching as a guy slices an inch off an arm and a leg every week for years on end and the person screams in agony each time. This isn't funny. This is creepy. Post the next time he has a "I never masturbated for years because I thought my dead grandma was watching me from heaven" incidents, or a WH40K orcs re-writing of one of his strips, but there's nothing here.

>>86748714

Dobson was over the top. It would almost be parody. Willis is so fucking boring that even his ignorance isn't fun. He's honed his craft over decades to a fine grit of mediocrity.

I do. Once, a long time ago, I actually like it. Mainly because I had Christian fundies for neighbors that constantly berated my taste in everything and citing passages of the bible out of context why I should stop, and generally made me feel good that there were others that found such stuff stupid.

Then the comic started getting way too preachy and now I just read it to see how far down it will sink.

We don't like DoA, but we're still invested enough that we can't stop watching as it slowly self-destructs

I started a month or two before Becky got her haircut, and I stopped a little bit after Becky/Dina happened

>>86763742
Wait Pleb is still around? Wasn't the tumblr doxxed and personal info released?

>>86762700
I think part of the problem is that they banned talking about the comment section so if/when Willis does do something stupid or hypocritical we can't talk about it directly.

>>86764176
Why was that banned and who banned it?

>>86764045
I think you nailed it. Finding these threads was cathartic since any criticism on the actual site would either get deleted or baby Willy would yell at you for hurting his fee fees.

>>86764082
Yes, and yes. After an extensive supporter campaign she got her job back and the dox brigade realized that their tactics only work on people who can't effectively fight back and that if they wanted to keep the pressure on Pleb they'd have to resort to things that risk jail time.

>>86763957

Definitely. When I started to question the comic, all I could find were sycophants in the comment section and another board I go to where there's a thread for it.

It's just exhausting to see so much butt-kissing when there's so much room for improvement.

I wanted to like this comic. I started reading it during its first week, but it just slid further and further from something that could be readable.

It was frustrating to not have an outlet to talk about this comic, and it's been so cathartic to see actual literary discussions here.

In tonight's strip, Walky can't admit he's not doing well in calc and Billie snipes at Sarah.

>>86771347
>>86771853

>dont do this

It's fun

Not that we could really drum up enough people for an actual raid. At best we'll really only be able to poke and prod and watch while they chimp out.

On the other hand, when I edited the edit warning for Carla's page from "she attracts vandalism because she's trans" to "she attracts vandalism because she's a cunt", they ultimately changed it from "trans" to "possesses an abrasive personality". Which was alright.

>>86773457
I still fail to see any reason why any of us should care for these characters or whatever is going on right now.

Also, Walky's legs are copied and pasted between the fifth and sixth panels. They're just flipped horizontally, laces included.

>>86773457

>She's found something or someone she doesn't need

What did she mean by this?

No really?

>>86773457
I don't get it. That's like someone calling someone else a nigger and both people involved are white. You're expected to be shocked by the use of the word but it's completely lost.

>>86773552
>>86773587
I think it's a slam on Sarah turning in her old roommate for smoking weed or something.

Or it's Billie being a bitch about how she indirectly put Ruth in a hospital, which we've previously discussed isn't even necessary, but whatever.

>>86773457
What the fuck is Billie even talking about?

Also holy shit, these characters are awful. Every page of this new story has had someone insult or get shitty at someone else.

>>86773646
If that's the case its worded poorly.

>>86773457
Why is Billie so pissy? Sarah didn't get Ruth ratted out, bringing up the Dana stuff is completely unrelated.

Also the flow of this strip is really weird. Starts with why Sarah is walking with them, then goes to why Walky is taking higher levels of math? I mean, I get that he's feeling insecure, but there's no flow from one subject to the other. Then Billie is bitchy for no reason, as I previously stated. Wraps up with a nothing punchline like usual.

Really pointless strip.

I am wondering why Billie is taking advanced math. I think she's doing journalism, so it would be unnecessary. Sal is probably taking it to prove a point, but we have no idea what her major even is, because why would a university strip ever mention something like that?

>>86773683

>Why is Billie so pissy?

Hey, don't rip on Billie! She's suffering from depression right now despite having no real impetus to do so and very little in the way of symptoms and I guess catching it from Ruth like a cold or something!

is what the fans say

>>86773683
We don't know most of their majors, actually. *Dorothy's poli-sci, I think.
*Joyce is either education or home ec -- something that curveballs into being into a 'good Christian woman'.
*Sarah's pre-law, and Jacob might also be?
*Amber and presumably Danny are in compsci

That's about it. I swear, Willis's character pages are next to useless.

Walkie's rant in panel 3 is pretty out of nowhere, too, since they were clearly talking about walking together to class and not their placement in the class itself.

Two other points:
1. If Walkie was really smart, he would tie his fucking shoes.
2. Where are Joyce and Mike? They should be visible in the last two panels. Did they sneak way to fuck in an alleyway like animals?

>>86773857
>you'll never force Mary to orgasm from defiling the symbol of her religion

Why even live?

>>86773457
but sal is in his math class. why is SHE taking advanced math, she already knew she sucked at it

>>86773934
As a math major (in the loosest sense of the word), I feel that the education system should focus more on practical applications for math. Not everyone uses calculus, but everyone can get some use out of, say, learning how to balance a checkbook, or being able to prove that it's statistically unlikely to win the lottery.

>>86773857

It sounds like he actually is trying to give Walkie some character depth beyond smarmy know it all man child by implying that the pressure of being a prodigy is getting to him.

Which you know would have been nice years and hundreds of strips ago

>>86773934
>Still I think it's silly that math is a requirement at all
Gen ed is basically a retarded excuse to milk more scholarship dollars out of students. The higher education system is fucking crooked.

>>86773824

>willis tells himself these people exist to make himself feel better

>>86773997
It would also be nice if panel 3 didn't come off as a Principle Skinner-like flashback.

Besides, isn't this the second month of school? None of them should have any idea what their grades are like and Walkie's math should still be easy as fuck.

>>86774014

What about Dinotard? I imagine something that can tie in paleontology

>>86774104

Probably geology/bio double major. That's the most common combo for undergrads who want to do paleontology. It's not a concentration most places offer for undergrads- you go into geology and then when you do grad school, you pick a specialization.

>>86774104
i dont think its been specified, but yeah its pretty obvious what shes into

>>86774093
Yes, I do believe they are just now entering the second month of school.

Also, I just realized a way to waste time while analyzing how the days are split up over time. We could actually look to see if classes even could happen during the off-moments in the strips as shown. That is, if the passage of time in the strips over the course of one day could account for unseen time spent in classes.

>>86774093
>Walkie's math should still be easy as fuck.
I took the slightly advanced math I tested into, but by the time I got in the class, I'd forgotten a lot.

By the end of the second week, I was crying and certain I would fail the class if I continued. All the homework was online and didn't explain what you did wrong.

But Walky has access to a tutor and doesn't seem to have any online homework. He has no reason to be wallowing like this.

Even my super-privileged white students in my English 100 class acknowledged they weren't used to working, but the key difference was that they still did the work.

My story ended with me withdrawing from the class for $50 and taking the standard math (with some training wheels of extra classes per week since I no longer had confidence in my math skills) my last semester of undergrad. The class went amazingly well, and I felt a lot more comfortable with math after that.

If Walky is as smart as he thinks he is, he should have withdrawn and waited to take a different math class next semester. Sometimes you gotta cut your losses.

>>86773683
Because she can't be mad at Carla, the one who actually revealed everything.

Now I still believe Carla did the right thing in a shitty way, Ruth would've probably died or something.

>>86774264

What's really sad is that the whole "thinks he's a prodigy but gets crushed in the real world" could have been an interesting story.

Watching him learn he was just a big fish in a small pound, getting torn down and then building back up as someone who can actually study and give a shit?

It's a bit cliche but it's a story. There's character there. He's at least a little sympathetic

>>86774264
No see, Walky needs to be bad at math so that we can drag this out for another four years. Dropping a class you're not prepared for is what normal people do.

>>86773683
billie and sarah have hated each other for no reason the entire strip. this isnt the first time shes brought up dana when it had nothing to do with the conversation, its something she just really dislikes about her

>>86774318
Let's be real for a second, Walky is only having trouble with Math because Willis realized half-way through his "Sal is hated because she's 'blacker' than Walky" drama that he had made Sal, the 'darker' twin, a store robbing, teacher fucking, southern sounding idiot while Walky, the 'whiter' one, was naturally good at math and was all around more enjoyable to be around.

>>86774328
Isn't Billie a freshman like everyone else? She shouldn't even know the bitch that Sarah narced on.

>>86774007
>The higher education system is fucking crooked.
I sometimes wish I were going to school nowadays just to pirate textbooks. Fuck that whole racket.

>>86774365
I think she just hates narcs in general. Remember, she's dependent on alcohol and parties. If there's one thing a girl like Billie hates, it's a narc.

>>86774365
she didnt know dana, shes just heard the story from sarah. she didnt like what she heard.

the fact that danas situation is superficially similar to ruths (drugs/booze, pulled out of school/fired from her position, and its totally possible dana wasnt safe at home either) probably just reinforces how shitty she thinks sarah is

>>86774407

Why does she even know black girl is a narc though? That hardly seems like something that should be public knowledge.

>>86774264
Those fucking online homeworks. I swear, those have to be the worst things for people who aren't aces at math. Even back when I was an A student, they'd be a pain in the ass because if you didn't input everything the right way, it'd throw a hissy fit.

>>86774354
I faintly remember that Walky aced the first math assignment he had. Which makes it even more baffling that he started failing in the middle, and that he didn't realize he didn't understand the material until he got his grade back. When I started fucking up in Diff. Calculus, I could fucking tell that I was fucking up.

>>86774323
>Walky needs to be bad at math so that we can drag this out for another four years.
You mean another month

>>86774407
>>86774415
If we are lucky, maybe Billie will bust out a "snitches get stitches" line on Sarah.

>>86774426
sarah told her and joyce after they ran into one of her ex-friends at the mall

>>86774415

>waaaaaaaah you wouldn't let me drink and do drugs and get everyone in trouble and destroy myself

I hate teenagers.

>>86774426
Sarah told the whole story to Joyce, Dina and Billie after Sarah punched Raidah the fuck out at the mall for being a bitch.

Billie then pointed out that Sarah's plan after Joyce got almost-raped by Ryan would have led to Joyce getting pulled out of school by her parents, and suggested that Sarah suggested that on purpose. Sarah almost beat her the fuck up for that, and if she did, she would have been in the fucking right

still fuck Billie. If you're gonna do bull shit at least have the decency to not cry about tattle tales when it's your own damn fault in the first place.

>>86774328
Sarah hates Billie because she thinks she's a dumb, partying, loose bitch that she'd rather not associate with. Considering her alcoholism she's not wrong.

The last time she brought up Dana, it made sense. Joyce brought up the idea that she might get sent home if they went to the authorities, but Sarah still wanted to call the police. It wasn't that much of a stretch. This is a crazy stretch for no reason.

>>86774551

>>86774634
Ok, that makes sense. The part about Dorothy wanting to go to a place to interview someone. The rest is Roz being comically terrible.

Billing came over just to shit talk her about something she has huge emotional baggage over with what basically amounts to "WAAAAAAAAH I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PARTY AND DRINK AND DO WHATEVER, FUCK EVERYONE ELSE AND THE RULES!"

If you don't like someone you don't go out of the way to interact with them unless you're starting shit.

>>86775039
It got revisited in the Dina storyline, but it got pushed out of the way for more Becky and Becky and Ross and Becky Becky Becky and what were we talking about again?

I think Dina agreed to spy on Raidah and Jacob

>>86775045

And that's it. That's the highlights of Billie and Sarah's interactions.

Up until Pic Related, they had not interacted again in the comic.

>>86775032
Every line in this is awful, but special points go to "whatevs, all this straight stuff is totes boring"

Fuck Becky.

>>86775065

In that instance sure. Yeah. Im not saying they're not both cunts but at least Sarah has decent intentions.

>>86775063
>I think Dina agreed to spy on Raidah and Jacob
As far as I remember it just kind of ended there. Was it before or after Toedad?

>>86775084
that was before toedad. it did come up again after, sarah tried acting differently to get his attention, but flipped out as soon as he spoke to her and they havent seen or mentioned each other since

>>86775084
She was in the middle of spying when Ross showed up, I think.

>>86775005

She acts bitchy but it's a more justified bitchiness than most other characters display and you kinda feel for her. And Billie is little more than a selfcentered arrogant bitch; I would hate her too.

>>86775065

Was she going out of her way to interact with Billie, or was she trying to stick with Joyce to look after her?

I dunno what incident this is referring to, specifically, but I imagine it'd be the latter.

>>86775114
>Billie is little more than a selfcentered arrogant bitch; I would hate her too
as soon as you saw her, without ever speaking to her or knowing anything about her? right. what a bitch.

>Was she going out of her way to interact with Billie, or was she trying to stick with Joyce to look after her?
it was the latter, but it was unnecessary and prompted entirely by how much she hated billie and didnt want joyce being friends with her

>>86775148

>as soon as you saw her, without ever speaking to her or knowing anything about her?
Sometimes you can just tell. Besides, did she really start *hating* Billie at that point, or was it just generic "I don't care for people" thing until Billie revealed that she was no good?
>prompted entirely by how much she hated billie and didnt want joyce being friends with her
That's not a valid reason?

>>86775148
>as soon as you saw her, without ever speaking to her or knowing anything about her? right. what a bitch.
The first thing everyone saw of Billie is her being a loudmouth to Ruth, invoking her cheerleader status, challenging Ruth to a fight and getting her ass handed to her.

She made it entirely clear that she's a shithead right off the bat to everyone.

>>86775148
To be fair, Sarah witnessed the initial fight between Ruth and Billie at the first floor meeting.

>. Which makes it even more baffling that he started failing in the middle, and that he didn't realize he didn't understand the material until he got his grade back

The problem is that he's had sex. He keeps ejaculating his math skills somewhere around Dorothy.

>literally treating a POC man as property

>>86775248
My point (anon with links) was that Billie established herself as a fire-starter, a trouble-maker. She is egotistical and starts crap with people she doesn't know. You see all that in that one attack on Ruth, because Billie is pretty dang smug about it.

Billie isn't necessarily a bad person, and these traits aren't necessarily permanent--that's just what any person could pick up on from that floor meeting.

And Billie hasn't exactly gone out of her way to seem less of those things.

>>86775298

Willis has always brown black people with huge lips

I don't like it either, but when you only have 2 characters that are black that barely show up I guess you don't practice them a lot

I don't have a problem with them being big, or at all actually, it's just weird to see that he gives the black characters big formless lips like a fucking 1900s cartoon when he's so PC.

They don't even look like lips

>>86775763
I know what you're saying, but you gotta remember you are assuming Willis studied Anatomy

Willis just draws, found a style that semi-worked and got him a fanbase , and then stopped trying. Willis doesn't try to better himself, really. If and only if his viewer count goes down is when he'll shake up his style.

Ok Anons, help me get this.

Everyday I see /doag/ threads, and every day I have to wonder how all your brains haven't atrophied from constantly bitching about it.

What >>86779139 said. I found DoA in its early days before it was really TOO shitty. Interested, I backtracked through his works and began binging It's Walky, which I enjoyed to a degree, and Shortpacked, which was somewhat decent in its beginnings too.

Basically, I'm here to lament what could have been, to enjoy raging at what is with some like-minded anons, and occasionally to discuss somewhat relevant issues.

>>86779102

>everyone just needs to know how it concludes
DoA will end with Willis' death.

The appeal of these threads is that DoA and its creator and the people who unironically like it are an out-of-control train that is crashing 365 days a year.

The first time he sees a grandmother in a wheelchair he'll probably pile drive her through the concrete.
How the hell does Willis think Mike is ever going to graduate in a field where he has to work with vulnerable people when he is a compulsive asshole to everyone?

>>86779314
Mighty fine bait. Here's your (you).

>>86779866

Cuz it's funny

Mike in Social Work actually sounds pretty amusing to me

>>86779896
Not that Anon, but

Sure, it's funny, but it doesn't tie in well at all to Mike's character as presented. Maybe if we ever saw him doing social work on his own, outside of his group of friends so to speak, then it might be plausible.

>>86779944

I guess it depends on how Willy presented it

If it was like, somebody asking

>Hey Willis, what's Mike's major?
>"Social Work"

I could take it as Willy basically going "Doesn't matter and isn't that relevant to the plot, but can you imagine?" Not very grounded/realistic but this comic is half a comedy (the problem being Willy tends to mix comedy and drama poorly or where it's not needed).

>>86780011
Willis seems confused about whether or not his own work is a comedy or a drama.

>>86780011
it's kinda sad that a comic about college kids that's over 6 years old still hasn't hashed out the kids majors or classes outside math and gender studies

>>86780054

It can be both. Hell, IMO the current trend for cartoons and such these days is "primarily comedy, with heavy doses of drama and dramatic subtext".

Willy just doesn't do it right. He employs slapstick to build up a conflict which ends in the UNSPEAKABLE CRIME of misgendering Carla, he ends every potentially-dramatic strip with a shoehorned joke in an effort not to trigger his oversensitive fans, and so on. There's a time and place for everything, but Willy doesn't have the smarts to figure it out.

>>86780251
Yeah, I'm not saying they have to be separate entirely. It's as you say: Willis is bad at writing both.

>>86772324
But I'm no Pleb... OR AM I?

No, I'm not.

OR AM I?

>>86774354
The insane amount of bullshit needs to inject into his story to have Sal come out ahead of non-shitty people is amazing at times.

>>86774354
I honestly don't think he's realized he made Sal super stereotypical of "dead beat black" types.

That would mean he did something wrong which he is NOT gonna admit

>>86774354
>>86781827
I don't think so. The story of: person does so well at school that they don't need to put in effort, gets to a difficult level where they need to put in effort but they don't know how, person never gets over that and fails, is very common.

It's especially common in college if you're used to daily collected/checked homework in high school that keeps you up to date without having to "study for nothing" and then you get to college and you see all the "recommended" problems and reading and completely ignore them. Which seems entirely like something Walky would do.

The main issue is it's happening in a very compressed period of in-comic time. Right after the review section is a bit fast for Walky to be struggling if he's as good as we're supposed to believe he is. And while we do have the Sal story to compare it to, there's been very little juxtaposition. I think it was just that one quiz where Walky's hair got kinky where Sal is getting a good mark in the same strip, and I guess that one time that Jason reached out to Sal then Walky, but outside of that, Walky's struggles have been about him and his issues, not how he's a fuck up compared to Sal. If that was the case, they'd probably interact with each other about their grades and he'd act immaturely towards her. Maybe that stuff is coming, but there's nothing in the strip to make me think of Sal every time Walky makes a mistake.

Even the most recent strip is going into how his self-image was tied to being a "wiz kid." Willis could tie it to Sal by showing that it's an idea that their parents espoused, but I think that being good at school is something a lot of kids latch on to. As far as we can tell Walky's life was school and cartoons (and maybe fast food), so it makes sense to me.

I feel like Willis should have drafted up multiple storylines for each character based upon three different categories: School and Education; Home and Family; and Friends and Lovers. The latter two are seemingly all that we focus upon, though there could also be room for a fourth category for External or Unexpected Events that aren't directly caused by the previous three categories.

But that would probably be the best way to juggle aspects of an environment as complex as a college campus with an ensemble cast. The stories don't even have to be complex—"Walky isn't doing well in math" is an entirely legitimate story point to draw upon. The fun comes from intertwining the categories together—perhaps follow up on that one scene at the health center between Walky and Dorothy by having her try to patch things up with him while tutoring him in math.

Speaking of which, I just realized that thanks to the bathroom scene from earlier this month, I have a feeling that whole thing at the health center between Walky and Dorothy done got dropped. Or was it Walky and Joyce? Good God, I've forgotten what it was even about. I just know that it happened. Is this what it's like when you have Alzheimer's?

>>86775035

Fun fact: it used to only be on weekdays, and his Kickstarter rewards were to include Saturdays and Sundays if he got enough. He was getting enough money every time that he just eventually did it every day regardless.

>>86783368
Which meant he would've had a two day break period in which to look over the past week and see how things are going, instead of just blasting full steam ahead....

There's a better image than the one I'm posting where it shows both the original and the one he posted after making changes. Now granted the strips in this post never made it to the main site, but he showed them off on Patreon when he was talking about that whole sequence of events.

>>86784428
Sorry, I was being sarcastic. Willis just claims he can't edit his buffer every time someone asks him if he changed anything because of the comments.

Thanks for posting it in this thread, though. It's pretty relevant to the mistreatment of suicide in the comic.

>>86782492
Part of the problem is that due to the pacing of both the strip and college School and Education will always be infrequent topic unless it's intertwined with the other two.

>>86786113
True, but it doesn't have to be. Even if sparingly, "School and Education" could stand on its own. Just find a way to separate the friend/family aspect of a situation. Maybe a character gets in trouble at school, and it ends up being a situation that can't be solved with the help of friends or family; the character has to figure this out alone.

>>86787559
You risk running the same issue as the relationships, too much drama in too short of a time happening to too many people. There are also only so many plots you can run with that.

>>86787629
Also true, hence the use of the word "sparingly".
And they don't necessarily have to be dramatic stories. Maybe it could be a character trying to rush to class in under ten minutes after their previous class went into overtime.

>>86787713
That's not really a plot, more of an aside or lead-in. A better idea would be discussion and interactive classes. They're all in an intro Gender Studies class, those almost always have a "lab" that is a small discussion group where actual in-class assignments are done.

>>86788026
That works too. Maybe leave the soapboxing for in-class asides and stories like that.

And even if a story like "X is going to be late to class unless they rush" is barebones, it could still be useful as a means of development. For example, a character like Amber might begin by doing flatland parkour, only to realize she might expose her identity by doing so and thus tries to compromise her athleticism with false normalcy. If Carla were late, she might just barrel through crowds of people, knocking them to the sides as she blasts through the quad on her skates.

Even if it's pointless filler, it could still serve as some kind of development. And if you can find a means of injecting conflict, then it becomes an actual story.

>>86788315
He needs to make new characters, the student cast should be mostly interacting with TAs.

>>86779102

What I wonder about is why it's even an issue with you? Why should what WE do be of any consequence to YOU?

Just hide the thread and go to one with a subject you DO want to talk about. Or if there isn't one, MAKE a thread about it.

It's not that hard.

>>86788736
That would be counter-productive. He's already ignoring at least a third of his established cast as it is; any more would just be overkill.

If Willis were willing to put in the extra effort, he could start going double-time on strips and publishing two every day, each focusing on a different storyline and opening the floor to other characters who otherwise wouldn't be in the spotlight.

>>86779896

Cruelty to the less fortunate is not funny.

He would be fired the first day atany Social Service job. And that's the absolute BEST CASE scenario.

>>86780251
It might not be an issue of smarts as it is an issue of sanity.
