/doag/ - Dumbing of Age therapy session

Patreanon is dead and free of his pain. Now, someone else must take up the mantle so that we may be angry at and over-analyze a shitty webcomic together.

>>87808816
>patreanon is dead
w-what?

>>87808689
Okay, to be fair "The Oriental Deceptress" sounds like an awesome 50s-60s supervillain.

Whenever Patreanon is slightly late we assume he's died and begin to mourn.

He usually comes back but one day it might happen so it's all good.

>>87809690
well I was only worried because I think he was saying we'll need a new patreanon soon last thread.

Oh yeah, no, we don't mourn *him*

Everyone knows that as soon as a Patreanon perishes his consciousness is archived and uploaded into a freshly-prepared clone which takes his place.

Yeah, he has this whole existential thing about how his sole purpose is to provide whining anons with a shitty comic strip a day early, but nobody listens to him.

>>87809788
I admire his work ethic. Dude takes cartooning super seriously, like a real job. You'll never see Willis post a "sorry I'm sick/tired/someone died/I just don't feel creative tonight" excuse sketch, because the dude makes the comics weeks in advance. He has a huge backlog.

There are webcomics I read because I love the artwork, and I'm willing to wait a week or two between updates. There are cartoonists I've been following for decades across multiple projects, despite flakey update schedules, because I like the characters they create and the stories they weave. Willis is the only one I can think of off the top of my head who treats cartooning like *professional fucking work* and puts in a professional amount of effort.

So I respect him for that.

On the other hand... while Willis can write a good story and create compelling characters, he's hampered by the fact that he's about as whitebread as they come. He simply does not have the life experience (or intellectual depth) to adequately represent modern racial and social issues, but he persists in trying. At this point he's basically parroting/pandering to the Tumblr crowd, and while his heart is in the right place, it's often pretty cringey. He also has a bad habit of using his status as "the author" as a bully pulpit to strawman his critics and make fun of them. He's so bad about it that saying "strawman" to him is triggering.

>>87810632
>He has a huge backlog.
he shits out a bunch of shitty comics, then never makes any actual adjustments to the comic despite any critique or anything, and he excuses it as the comics having been written months previously.

His heart's not at all in the white place. He's pandering to the lowest common denominator for internet credibility, and he's pretty notoriously racist IRL.

He won't flake out, but let's not go too far. The art in a lot of strips has been phoned in. The paneling, coloring, perspective, and just about anything else aren't well thought-out. He's admitted DoA is a project he does because he can coast by with it.

So no Patreanon tonight?

... I'm actually okay with this. Willy's finally getting to the point where his stuff's both bad and dull so I can't even really read it.

>>87809876
None of us chucklefucks know each other enough to like one another.
It's more like we love to hate together.

>>87812855

Come now, getting to know someone is the perfect way to foster hatred, especially among such distinguished fellows as we.

Like all good relationships, this one must be founded solely upon shallow, raw emotion. And since nobody here is attractive, we'll have to replace lust with frothing anger.

>>87810816

He's one of those guys who -still- states allegiance to a side in that clusterfuck and doesn't just write off both sides as absolute cancer, isn't he?

>>87810632
I'd respect his commitment to having a backlog more if he was more willing to look at what's coming and make improvements.

As it stands, it feels like he did, maybe, twice as much work for three months to make the backlog, and ever since then, he's been coasting along at the same general speed. And if he does edit something in the backlog, it's usually only a day before it goes online, so it's very, very likely that the majority of his strips are a first draft with no editing (and with some strips, like the infamous Mary dickslap pic, it's very obvious that he didn't take a second look at it). And as a hobbyist writer myself, someone who just doesn't edit their work professionally is someone I don't want to respect as an artist.

Also, yeah, his heart's not in the right place. On some level, I know that he agrees with the people he's pandering to, but that's so filtered by his unassailable ego and his guilt/rage over his past history and his general incompetence as a writer of social issues that it's basically nonexistent.

If Willis had simply stuck to goofy sci-fi while still holding the same views, we probably wouldn't have to rag on him so much. I have a lot of artists that I like who support the liberal views I have, but they don't write screeds about their views into every bit of their work because they know what they're good at.

>>87813593
Anti-GG was never as bad as GG at its worst.

Isn't it funny how we anticipate a comic we hate?

>>87814488

Even if that's true, and it isn't: The anti's just seemed a touch more palatable to people who didn't give a shit, then it still doesn't matter. Both sides were a shitstorm dredging up the worst of the internet community and throwing it in everyone's faces for months.

It's like saying would you rather eat a mouldy sandwich or uncooked roadkill.

>>87813593
Man, we're really cool for not caring.

>>87815420

Man, I don't think it's even about being cool, it's just about being reasonable.

And of course, we know Willy would have sided with anti-GG by dint of feminism regardless of anything.

>>87815420

Eh, I second hand care: I have some friends who were involved in the first week or two of it then gave up in complete disgust not just for the opposite side, but for what the side they'd been supporting in the first place had devolved into.

Hell, I'd even argue the initial dispute (some people complaining about someone trading sex for good reviews) had exactly nothing to do with the later argument as a whole (long winded MRA vs SJW cage match).

>>87815497
I used to be staunchly pro-GG I even have a vivian james shirt which I still wear because it is the comfiest t-shirt I've ever worn, but I distanced myself right quick the less it became about the actual problem at hand and more about shitflinging at the SJWs.

>>87811113
I hoped that since he stopped doing Shortpacked, he'd put more work into DoA. But now he's putting less into it.

>>87808689

>>87818559
I just googled doa pages.

patreanon has failed us.

>>87809788
I'm pretty sure someone just keeps posting it and bumping the thread themselves

>>87818581
We have about 15-30 regulars, depending on whether or not anything particularly heinous is happening in DoA and whether or not patreanon has abandoned us. This is more or less business as usual..

>>87818574
Patreanon just realized they were hurting us by encouraging use to read this shit.

>>87818559
It's just the same strip from before. There's not a new one right now. Patreanon has a new job IIRC, so the strips aren't going to be coming to us as regularly.

>>87814469

> Mary dickslap pic

What's this about?

>>87823532
So, at one point, every door in the dorm had a picture of a dick drawn on it (for awkwardly-written reasons that we won't get into right now). Ruth was too busy with...something to be arsed to take care of cleaning the dicks off. Mary, being Mary, raised a fuss, and Ruth, being Ruth, drew a dick on her hand with marker and slapped Mary hard enough to leave a dickprint on her face.

The editing problem is that the red handprint (yes, Ruth slapped a girl so hard it left a mark and she's still the best RA the dorm's ever had) is of a *left* hand, and Ruth drew the dick on her *right* hand. More so, the print was left on Mary's *right* cheek, so even if Ruth had slapped her with her right hand, Mary would have had to be faced away from Ruth to get hit like that.

The comment section noticed the mistake within half a day. Willis's official excuse was that the direction of the strip was more important than accuracy, but the fact is that Willis decided that coming up with a sensible alteration of that scene (or, you know, maybe not having a character we're supposed to sympathize with smacking around a freshman) was just too much effort

>>87824001

Alas, my friends, I do not *get* to die. I was just in Milwaukee and didn't have my computer. It looks like last night's wasn't posted, so here's that! In last night's strip, Dr. No-Eyebrows returns and Billie gets kicked out. Will this be the last time she sees her lady-love? Unlikely!

I'll post the new one in a few hours.

>>87829635
So...even the doctor is saying that Ruth getting psychiatric care is a good thing.

Or in other words, Mary helped save Ruth.

Goddammit

>>87829635
The way Willis is emphasizing the words makes it seem like Doc No-Brows is politely and indirectly ushering Billie out of the room as fast as she can.

>>87829834
Reminder that Ruth has been in psychiatric care for less than 24 hours.

>>87829962
The way Willis is emphasizing the words makes it seem like Billie's about to have a panic attack because she can't take care of Ruth anymore

>>87829635

>I've been taking care of your friend

Um, check your privilege doctor because Billie is her GIRLfriend, I see what you're trying to do by issuing a subtle verbal demotion to their relationship, so keep your Fundie Christian values to yourself and you should probably quit your job and go kill yourself for endangering these poor starcrossed lovers.

>>87829962
I think it is more that the Doctor doesn't seem to have any clue about the circumstances surrounding Ruth getting committed. Why would she think that Billy had anything to do with Ruth receiving medical attention?

>>87830004
More like she's confused as hell and doesn't understand what doctors are for.

>>87830092
How dare you throw your bigotry around like that? Dismissing the accomplishments of a strong black woman in a field dominated by men to support the privilege of a rich white girl who is half-Asian which the exact same as being white so she's like double-white making her even more privileged. Plus they're "bisexual" meaning they're just straight girls pretended to be lesbians to steal victimization from real minorities and attract men.

Roz, definitely Roz. Worst thing about Leslie is that she was willing to forget her morals for a second to get laid. Worst thing about Roz is she's a selfish, manipulative hypocrite who was entirely willing to take advantage of her teachers emotions to try and sink her sisters political career because she disagrees with her. Fuck Roz, she doesn't contribute anything good to anybody.

Roz. It's always Roz. Leslie, at worst, was pursuing a shitty relationship for selfish reasons. Roz was helping Leslie for the express purpose of destroying her sister's political career.

>>87832516
Leslie wanted to get her clit licked but when forced to face Robin's record directly lost her lady boner.
Roz is pissed because she was going to forcibly out her sister to destroy her political career.
Dorothy cares and seems awfully nonchalant about the whole thing because Willis wants her to be.

If anything, Dorothy should just use google to find Ryan considering she has his name, picture, university, and internship information.

>>87832617
Roz is ideologically opposed to her sister and, therefore, feels that any of her actions short of murder become justified in opposing Robin. She already debased herself by making and releasing a sex tape to discredit Robin.

But Leslie is aware of Roz's intentions to publicly out Robin and still went along with her plan. That is some terrible disregard for the well-being of someone she wants to fuck.

>>87832652
>Leslie wanted to get her clit licked but when forced to face Robin's record directly lost her lady boner.
That's understandable, but it shouldn't affect her lust assuming it was meant to be pure lust and not outright affection. Just because you dislike a person's religious or political opinions, it doesn't mean you don't want to stick your dick in their mouth to shut them up.

>Roz is pissed because she was going to forcibly out her sister to destroy her political career.
See >>87832617, though by the time I got around to typing all this out, >>87832693 happened.
And in response to that, I still question why Robin wants to outright end her career entirely. It's the equivalent of a sore loser on a school playground or playing board games trying to make up rules so that they become the winner.

>Dorothy cares and seems awfully nonchalant about the whole thing because Willis wants her to be.
I feel as though that's how Willis writes a lot of his characters.

>If anything, Dorothy should just use google to find Ryan considering she has his name, picture, university, and internship information.
She very well could. I only worked in a newsroom for a week, but if you know where to look you can find means of contacting people who know about people, much less the person themselves.
For example, with little more than a name, a photograph, and the event he was at, Dorothy could have directly asked Robin's campaign manager (via town hall, who likely would have had her information through setting up the rally) for information about Ryan, perhaps lying about sexual assault.

But I doubt Willis spent his freshman year in a journalism major.

>>87832783
Don't we all.

Every lesbian in this comic is a stupid, self-centered fuck boi.

>>87832508
Roz. Roz is worse.
Les was just being a bit of a desperate starfucker and let that blind her to the moral compromises that she was engaging in, from implicitly supporting anti-gay politics, to 'exploiting' a student for personal benefit. And she realized what she was doing and shut the whole thing down.

Roz is actively trying to destroy her sister's political career, personal life, and possibly drive personal wedges between her various family members, all because Robin's political persona is adamantly against her being a total whore. She is so mad about people telling her NOT to fuck anyone she talks to for 20 minutes that she's willing to turn her sister into a figure of likely national mockery.

>>87832516
>I also fail to understand why Roz is pissed.

Because her overly complex revenge plan on Robin of "getting her fisted" failed.

Imagine if Carla's stupid laser contraption had just fallen over when Mary opened the door. That's what just happened here.

>>87832904
There's probably some bit players in the hall who are gay but not terrible

>>87832957
Only because Willis hasn't done a plot about them yet.

>>87832783
yoto makes every thread better

>>87832793
Robin was a bit of an abstraction to Leslie as they had only met in person once. It's a crush that went a little too far but Leslie realized and pulled back before any harm was done.

And Dorothy probably could have found Ryan on LinkedIn or Facebook just through his internship.

>>87832752
True, but you also have to consider that Roz is at an extreme disadvantage. Leslie knows what Roz wants to do, has no reason not to inform Robin of what Roz wants to do, and can actively impede Roz trying to out her sister.

>>87832783
God bless, Yoto.

>>87832916
I don't think anyone has told her not to fuck anyone she talks to for 20 minutes, just to not use it as some harebrained attempt to sabotage her sister's political campaign. Did we ever find out if Joe was okay with Roz using their sex tape in that manner?

>>87833164
>I don't think anyone has told her not to fuck anyone she talks to for 20 minutes, just to not use it as some harebrained attempt to sabotage her sister's political campaign.

I'm basically extrapolating here, assuming that Roz's whoring began before she got to university and that she's been futilely told to tone it down before the sextapes started.

>>87833221
Considering Roz is a freshman, her level of whoring over time must be insanely high. Like, "I have my own coffee mug at the abortion clinic" high.

Speaking of whoring, I'm feeling creative. Give a pairing and I'll write a quick lewd.

Leslie wanting to seduce Robin doesn't really explain why she didn't plan the lesson around her current views. Did she think that she'd literally turn around her views over the course of one class after looking at her rocking cleavage?

If this was a real plan, she'd have had an actual planned order of questions and topics that would've been less partisan so they'd be able to connect, leading to more intense topics later. She wouldn't just start the class and then immediately go into question time.

Another option would've been having them meet before class to discuss what Leslie's lesson plan is and having her begin the seduction there in private. Then there'd be some reason to believe that Robin would be less on message and a little more personal.

Basically, there's no actual functional way for what Leslie says in panel 6 to have happened over the course of one classroom appearance. It honestly reads like Willis not giving the story enough space so he can write about whatever other garbage he's been focusing on. It probably won't be the end, and they'll meet up later though.

But still, this should've been a 3 part section:
>Leslie has interactions with Robin that show some connection,
>Robin goes party line during class, making Leslie want to give up the chase,
>Robin meets up with Leslie to find out what's wrong and the truth comes out.
And by truth I mean the fact that Leslie was trying to seduce her, not Robin's "true gay feelings",it could end with Robin being upset about what that would do to her career, or with her wanting to be with Leslie but getting rejected for her public views. There are lots of options. Robin would probably talk to her own boobs about how awesome they are though. "We've still got it, girls!"

It is pretty heavenly

On a related note I started sucking my Hispanic gf's tits once and was forced to look up and say "Holy shit, you DO taste like a taco".

>>87838049
Maybe Willis realized what he was doing with the seduction and forced outing storyline, so that is why it was dropped so abruptly. Instead the Ryan shit will get dragged out for the rest of all of our lives.

>>87837603
>She wouldn't just start the class and then immediately go into question time.

She didn't. She switched to Q&A after Robin realized she was at her rally.

Plot compression is a pretty big issue with Willis recently, the Bille/Ruth story is acting like major things have been happening despite Ruth only having been in psych care for less than 24 hours. Your three part narrative would have been great but Willis' tries hard to keep everything happening contemporaneously and narrative like that would force him to stick with a single plot for several days. On the other hand Robin is the perfect character for tonally whiplashing a dramatic denouement since it'd be in character.

>>87838959
>>87839076

I'm half certain he really did have to extensively retool the whole Robin storyline following the election, if only because he thinks his readers won't be able to handle a Trump/Republican parody without the benefit of their champion having won office.

But there's no real way to distinguish between evidence of that theory and the ever-present evidence that Willy is just a sucky writer.

>>87838959
He could have easily diverged it into two stories since Leslie doesn't necessarily want to out Robin. You'd keep Roz trying to out her sister while Leslie ponders if being the DL booty call of a conservative politician is really what she wants. After Carla airing out Ruth and Billie's business in front of the entire floor with no repercussions we know Willis doesn't have a problem with forced outing and I doubt the majority of his commentators would oppose a conservative candidate being outed as gay.

>>87839076
>She didn't. She switched to Q&A after Robin realized she was at her rally.
She introduced her, asked her to speak earnestly, they got sidetracked by the rally stuff and then went into Q&A. That's pretty immediate, especially in the context of my comment which is about Leslie not having any sort of planned list of topics to go over in order to win over Robin.

>>87816447
So you mean when it started? I was in the original /v/ threads and all I was doing and most of the rest of the thread was searching for excuse to fling shit at some internet SJW for kicks. Let's not pretend otherwise.

>>87839403
The whole thing is pretty immediate, considering that Robin was out the class in less than 10 minutes.

>>87839195
>he thinks his readers won't be able to handle a Trump/Republican parody without the benefit of their champion having won office.

How does that even work? Did he sleep through eight years of Dubya?

>>87839486
Let's be fair, I'm pretty sure most of the left would take another 4 years of Dubya over Trump. Hell, I think we'd take Romney over Trump

>>87837943

>>87812921

>>87839486

The impression I've gotten IRL is that everyone, Trump supporters included, weren't expecting him to actually win.

Willy's clique have probably been high on their recent victories for quite some time. A black president elected TWICE? Whatever "progressive" causes have been furthered in the last decade or so? And now we cap it with a WOMAN becoming president? This train will never stop! Those bigotous, bestial bastards are all on the run! There's no way it could go wrong!

Then they plow facefirst into a wall going 100 and before you know it the Suicide Hotline is ringing off the hook to deal with a thousand shattered psyches.

>>87839573

I do too, anon, I meant everyone else

>>87839524
Dubya was presented as a sexist, theocratic fascist who would overturn Roe v. Wade, make being gay illegal, gut affirmative action, social security, and Medicare, sell out Washington to Wall Street, and start WW3.

I'd wager that, more than anything, he realized his sleazy, glad-handing Robin is a perfect Hillary parody. It'd also explain why he started cribbing directly from Trump even though Robin didn't resemble Trump at all.

>shitflinging at the SJWs.

You say that as if ragging on SJWs was wrong

>>87832783


Yes, it's wrong.

Deeply, DEEPLY wrong.

>>87841261

Considering the only thing I discerned from the whole thing was a bunch of SJW nobodies getting rich off of pity-points, I'd say so.

>>87839409
Early on there was a lot of people going full anti-SJW, but a lot of it(at least during the quinnspiracy era) was just calling attention to how this woman had slept with journalists for reviews.

>>87841261
It isn't, but attacking the SJWs specifically is what led to people pretending that's ALL GG was ever about, instead of what it ended up becoming.

>>87832434
One time, I saw something on Willis's Tumblr where someone asked how he keeps things moving so he can skip ahead without making it super-apparent.

We had awkward Q&A with Robin, so to avoid showing the rest of the classtime after Robin left, we swapped over to Ruth and Billie for like 2 strips so we could come back to Leslie and say "oh, look, class is over now."

While that is a technique that can work when used well, it is always so obviously a distracting technique that it falls flat and makes us feel like we can't settle on seeing anything for more than a few minutes.

Also, just to be a nag, I'll point out that Dorothy should have said "Do we even know for sure that she likes women?" Assumes that being straight is the default, which is generally something that Willis pretends he tries to avoid.

>>87841878
Part of the reason it was so easily labeled as shitflinging is because people kept focusing on Quinn. The narrative shouldn't have been, "she slept with journalists for reviews," but rather, "journalists are trading reviews for sex." Her being a shitty person aside, she should have been a footnote, not a focus.

>>87842877
Willis' cutaways rarely have the content needed to imply a long progression of time. It means we get things like Walky skipping class and taking an hour to get back to the dorms only to immediately show up in his gender studies class. A single cut away to him eating breakfast would have implied far more time progression than what we got.

>>87838049
Heh. Remember how Roz whined that having Robin come to Leslie's class was worth "six helicopter rides" of favours? Well, I laughed when she said that: Because of helicopter rides.

Ah. Still, I figure some of Yoto's art he might find... inflammatory? Or some sort of flippant treatment of Willy's beliefs, I guess.

Well let's not go crazy here...

>>87849207
I used to be a huge Willis fan. In fact I'd say he used to be one of my inspirations (you could probably see some remnants of that influence in my style). I went years posting on the comic, leaving comments and crackin' jokes. While I think most of the readers are basically "drinking the Kool-Aid" they're still one of my oldest fanbases. Before tumblr, before 4chan. I feel like if I do something DOA related the least I can do is share it with them. I'll be a bit honest. When I post art it makes me a bit happy when someone says "I missed you, Yoto!"
Also if it makes one of them feel like commissioning me that'd be pretty great.

I'm just confused.

Yotomoe bitches about Dumbing of Age all the fucking time but he still draws art of it and posts over there.

If you think the comic sucks and you can't have intelligent conversations with anyone over there for fear of triggering their internet argument PTSD, why even bother?

I generally identify as liberal as far as social/fiscal matters are concerned but I have developed a HUGE issue with the rhetoric of the left in the wake of Trump's election. Mostly, the way they assume their morality is self-evident and they don't need to engage and persuade you if you disagree AKA "You're a bigot if you disagree and I refuse to entertain bigots!"

This has ALWAYS been true, but what's REALLY disappointing is the way you see them doubling down when they've just been given definitive proof their tactics are alienating and ill advised.

>>87837943

That's what I'm confused about. Hell, she was only introduced to her interns when touching down the day or two before.
But I guess since Robin is an established character and the actual event/campaign manager is not established in Walkyverse history, we have to go with Robin as the main person of interest here.

>>87857916

That'd make sense.

For that matter any intern who was on a permanent basis would be vetted for things like "accused of drugging a girl" and probably denied the job or at least have that shit swept up a hell of a lot better.

>>87857857

Jesus, someone has to do something! Whatever happened to the raids? To hacking sites? This guy really needs some of that action!

>>87857857
Dorothy, you willingly went along with not reporting Ryan after he attempted to date rape Joyce and ignored what happened, despite having a description of his appearance, for weeks until Amazi-Girl, whose antics allowed Ryan to escape, ran into him while she was in the middle of stalking and assaulting Sal. You have a picture of him, know where he attends school, and his workplace. You're intentionally hiding all this from Joyce. And right now you're guilt tripping Leslie because she told you to sit down and shut up without knowing any of this and you didn't simply ask anyways despite nothing stopping you. And you're doing all this despite living down the hall from Roz, who would gladly use her access to Robin and her campaign to help you.

>>87857857
>Flunitrazepam, also known as Rohypnol among others,[1] is an intermediate acting benzodiazepine used in some countries to treat severe insomnia and in fewer, early in anesthesia.[2] Just as with other hypnotics, flunitrazepam should be strictly used only on a short-term basis or in those with chronic insomnia on an occasional basis.[2] Flunitrazepam has been referred to as a date rape drug even though its incidence is very rare in cases that have been reported.

Clearly, Willis has done his research in regards to date rape drugs. However, I must question why he would use a drug that has been very rarely reported as being used for such a case. In fact, Wikipedia (where the above information comes from) has a list of more common forms of date rape drugs, including alcohol, Ambien, Valium, and Xanax.

I guess he went with the one that was the "most notorious".

I don't get how him being her (UNPAID, mind you) intern have anything to do with her that Leslie would get upset. Even if it was paid, there was no way she would've known, and he probably never got arrested for previous attempts so even if he was screened nothing would've come up.

pretty sure she hates roz and blames her for making her (and by extension joyce) come to the party in the first place, so i doubt "roz helping" is even a possibility in her mind.

that being said, yeah, dorothys behavior in this scene has been fucking weird and detached considering this is something that should be pretty important to her too. its almost like willis is just using her as a tool to get leslie to drop robin and never actually intended to advance the ryan plot.

wait.

I hope that's actually part of the point. She doesn't know anything about her interns, but no one else knows that.

Dorothy and Leslie are assuming that Robin actually knows who her interns are. I think that's intentional.

Because... oh gosh, I just realized what he's going to do now.

He's going to have them run around and force Leslie to apologize in the most awkward way possible, only to screw things up further by asking about the interns. And after months of shenanigans, Robin reveals that she knows nothing and is essentially a dead-end. I mean, she could direct them to her assistant, but let's face it that Willis won't think of that.

This is the second worst mystery story of all time. All the steps are tortuous and frequently frustrated for an end of dubious value. Even if they can identify Ryan, they have no proof of his crimes. Unless they are going to have Amazi-Girl kill the guy, there is no point.

>>87858617
I get the feeling that either no one will come forward, thus dragging the plot out for another 6 years, or a bunch of girls will come out--leading to Joyce punching him and sending him to the hospital, where she cusses him out and gives him double birdies, never to see him or think about him ever again.

>>87859921
thats the exact opposite of what happened. try reading the comic

>>87859027
They should already have his name, unless he somehow managed to go the entire evening without mentioning it to Joyce or anyone else.

>>87860205

At first I think she supported going to the police, but then she brought up that college's have a "poor record of punishing such things" which factored into the decision to let it go. Or something to that effect. I forget if she actually advocated silence.

I dunno how keeping quiet about rape attempts bolsters such a "poor record" but oh well, I guess I think too much.

>>87857857
I'm pretty sure this is the first time an actual drug name has come up. Rohypnol is totally detectable the day after, btw, so it would've been fine to go to the police even with Joyce not feeling the effects.

While it's fun to slam Leslie for stuff she didn't know about beforehand, Dorothy really could've gotten her question answered. Instead she felt it really necessary to define her racial background in very specific terms to Robin and argue about how white she isn't (she's hella white). Then when Leslie told her to sit back down, rather than telling her "sorry, but this is important" and going after Robin, she obediently sat back down. And this is external to all the stuff people have mentioned about her being able to go to the congresswoman's election office or calling her aides, or doing any research, And I agree that Robin shouldn't know the name anyway based on what we know about her.

How would they know specifically what drug was used if they didn't get Joyce tested or take her to a hospital for treatment?

>>87861833

Because fuck you, cis shitlord

>>87861833
Can be a wild guess. Every time people talk about THE DATE RAPE DRUG it's roofie/rohypnol.

>>87861569
I recall the comments about colleges having a poor record of punishing rapists. How exactly would Dorothy know that to be true about her own college? Wouldn't it at least be beneficial to make an attempt, even if it went nowhere? A failed attempt is better than not attempting at all, especially in cases like this.

>>87861753
>I'm pretty sure this is the first time an actual drug name has come up.
Now I wonder how Amazi-Girl found out what drug it was. Joyce destroyed the only evidence one could use to detect the roofie, as far as I'm aware.

And yeah, Dorothy is a dumbass in regards to defining her race before asking about a potential rapist. I'm going to assume that from a writing standpoint, it was all just so Willis could have his aside with Leslie and Roz.

Hell, Dorothy could have run out of the class after Robin, either caught up and talked with her (Robin could answer honestly or dodge Dorothy's questions) or be too late to actually get anywhere, then come back to Leslie's class as it's letting out (or before it lets out) and talk with her, as seen in >>87857857.

Why does Willis choose the least impressive and/or uneventful paths in his storytelling? Nobody seems to be proactive in Willis' world. Like the strips where he changed it from Walky and Dorothy barging in on Ruth and Billie to the two of them being kept outside by Mary. The original strips actually had things happening; the new story was literally people talking in a hallway.

>>87861857
My bad, I didn't realize roofie was a slang for a specific drug as well as a generic slang for 'thing you slip in a drink that makes you lose your wits'. They have said roofie a lot, so maybe that was all under the impression that it was rohypnol.

>>87861884

>How exactly would Dorothy know that to be true about her own college?

Heard it on whatever feminist site she likes best, I'd imagine.

I mean, I can think of a good handful of factors why there'd be a "poor record", not the least of which is a culture which revels in going out and getting slammed often, in which incidents are understandably muddled by intoxication and devolve into nigh-unenforcable "he-said/she-said"s.

I've joked that for all we know Brock Turner and that one girl might have met up and realized they were soulmates, and we'd never know because neither would remember.

>How exactly would Dorothy know that to be true about her own college?
Maybe Dorothy knowingly went to a school with a poor record for punishing rapists?

>(Robin could answer honestly or dodge Dorothy's questions)
Because Robin has no reason to not answer honestly and be helpful, which would run counter to Willis' current booking of Robin being irredeemable right wing shit.

>>87861982
>Maybe Dorothy knowingly went to a school with a poor record for punishing rapists?

Do those still exist? All you hear about these days is college students being punished when they're clearly innocent.

>>87861884
>Wouldn't it at least be beneficial to make an attempt, even if it went nowhere? A failed attempt is better than not attempting at all, especially in cases like this.

Dorothy herself makes this case. I've interacted with the cops after getting my home broken into and being robbed on the streets, and in a case, the officer told me that the detective probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it. None of them ended with any sort of follow up. That's just the nature of police work, if your crime isn't serious enough, or if there isn't enough evidence, they can't really do much. But if you start the paper trail, and the person offends again in a similar area there's more of a case that something's going wrong and there's more chance of them doing something. Regardless of if any action occurs, it gives a better statistical view of how much crime is happening in an area.

No one should have to think that calling the police is a guaranteed solution to their problem in order to take that action. That seems like a really naive way to look at life. That's why I think Dorothy posed the situation as, "nothing may come from this, but you do should it anyway" because that's honestly an accurate look at how stuff like this goes.

I still have no clue how they're going to convict this guy so far after the fact, without a police report, and with only a few friend witness reports from after the incident. They would've had a much easier time if they just had the police come to the party, or went the day after when they drug tests would've found the

Does this count:
>Indiana University-Bloomington:

>IU-Bloomington, which enrolls more students than any other campus in the IU system, reported seven forcible rapes in 2011. Many students and community members are still reeling from the June 2011 disappearance of IU-Bloomington student Lauren Spierer, who was last seen walking to her apartment early in the morning. Spierer has still not been found, and a fund has been set up to help pay for her search.

>>87862061
Ryan's a Dumbing of Age villain. Whenever the final confrontation comes, he'll do something stupid that our heroes can exploit to get him arrested. Like, I dunno, declaring how much he loves to rape while pinning and trying to rape Amber with witnesses nearby

Yes, that sounds too stupid even for Willis, but so was the car chase.

>>87862153
Given that his final act in his initial story was to announce his intent to rape Joyce within earshot of everybody with ears at the party, your scenario doesn't seem too far off.

Knowing Willis, though, I could see him concluding the strip by having Robin and Ryan talking on a bus with Ryan admitting to using roofies at parties while a hidden microphone captures everything and broadcasts it on some kind of live news or radio station. Y'know, sorta like something that actually happened to a certain President-Elect.

>>87862125
Forcible rapes and kidnappings should be reported to the police, not to a campus administrator!

Since those are from 2011 and not Current Year +1, it doesn't count. The infamous "Dear Colleague" letter that caused the pendulum to swing all the way in the other direction was issued in 2011.

That seems like a plan that is more likely to lead to them getting sued than to actually helping in any way

>>87858617
>>87858940
>>87865420
Yeah, from what we can tell, their "plan" involves dragging the issue on for as long as possible, then doing something that will probably get them in as much trouble as Ryan would have gotten into had he been reported immediately.

On another note: There were apparently people at the party who knew about Ryan too. Why didn't THEY call the cops either?

>>87860837
Joyce didn't remember his name. She didn't even remember that he guy she'd been talking to all night is the one who went after her. He was pretty nonsocial and didn't really talk to anyone else.

>>87865466
Hell, someone drove them home after it happened, mentioned that he had seen Ryan at other parties and promised to send his ass to the cops if he saw him at another party again. You'd think someone would follow up on that. Ask the driver about which parties he saw Ryan at, and check Facebook for photos from those parties and see who's been tagged. Even if Ryan wasn't tagged in any of them, he might have showed up in the background of one of the other pictures, which gives you a picture. Even if he hadn't, they might have asked anybody who was at the party if they recognize him; see if they find any former victims or attempted victims.

FUCK. I just realized that social networking exists and they know that he's interning with the DeSantos campaign. Unless he's a complete nobody with no friends except his identical minions (which, given Willis's other villains, isn't too far-fetched), he's probably posted on Facebook or tweeted something about being part of the campaign and that's probably something you search for on Facebook.

See, this is how you know that Willis never does a second draft of something. It took me half an hour to poke a huge hole in the Ryan plot, in addition to all of the other smaller holes that /doag/ has poked in it.

>>87865864
That's a very good point. It all basically points to how centralized Willis' universes are. There are very few background characters actually seen in the comic; this is especially apparent in Leslie's classroom, where Willis has students asking questions off-screen. Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak. He doesn't want to involve anybody he can't directly control.

Background characters seem to act as nothing more than observers of whatever Willis directs them to watch. Nobody calls the cops, nobody screams for help, nobody holds anybody down... Nothing happens.

lets also not forget the disfiguring scar that has, in the span of three months, healed completely over. not to mention the scar itself looks nothing like what would be left by that particular injury pattern.

like... how does shattering glass leave a single, unbroken harry potter scar instead of covering his face and eyes with micro-cuts?

I haven't been in one of these threads for a couple weeks. What happened to Dewd?

>>87867399
He's still here, although everyone's increasingly hostile towards him. He still seems unshaken and keeps postin' though so...

>>87867399
He's pretty much only posting once per thread right now. Some people have offered to help him edit his stuff.

>>87862153
>>87862254

He'll be like Dr. Light bragging to Green Arrow about how much he loves to rape. He'll have an entire personal philosophy is based around rape. "If you don't rape, you don't rate!" He'll show up wearing a red baseball cap that says 'Make America Rape Again'. He'll have an entire horde of identical minions under his control and the gang will be called The Rampant Phalluses.

>>87865864
That makes too sense. Fuck off with kind of thinking! Here, someone who takes two baseball bat strikes to head and a glass to the face just ends up with a minor scar. He doesn't go to the hospital for a fractured skull, concussion and lacerated face. No doctor makes a report of an obvious violent assault. No one notices a brutally beaten man wandering around campus.

Here, the best way to redress a potential failing of the authorities is to never let them try at all, bury the incident until it becomes he-said, she-said and either make an implausible feel-good ending, or use it to stand on a soapbox about how Rapists Always Get Away With It.

That's how DOA rolls. None of this "thinking plotlines through logically" bullshit.

Okay, I decided to put this to rest.

1:
Dorothy says to report.

2:
Dorothy says to take Joyce to hospital.
Joyce says no.
Dorothy starts to say why she should take her to the hospital.

3:
Dorothy says to report.
Joyce says no.
Billie says no.
Sarah says no hospital.
Sarah says they'll report in the morning.

4:
NPC says he'll report Ryan if he shows up again.

5:
Sarah is glad to have Dorothy for explaining things to Joyce and the police.
(Dorothy is glad Joyce is alive, but she seems far less concerned than she should.)

6:
Sal says not to report.
Sal pokes holes in the idea of reporting.
Billie says it was Sarah's idea to go home.

7:
Dorothy says colleges don't care about sexual assault.
Sal says cops are bad.
Sal says cops won't help.
Billie wants to drop the whole thing.

8:
Dorothy says to report.
Sarah says it's okay to report. She doesn't mind getting in trouble for beating Ryan with a baseball bat.
Joyce says no.

9:
Sal is glad they aren't reporting.
Sarah gives up.
Billie gives up.

10:
Joyce wants to go to the beach, dropping the subject entirely for the next few years.


There is literally only one speech bubble where Dorothy implies they shouldn't report it.

>>87868953
Reading over these again, I have to ask: Other than "MUH PARENTS", is there any reason why not reporting the incident would be more beneficial than reporting it? They say that colleges don't have a good track record of bringing justice to sexual assaults, so they just don't say a peep?

They're inadvertently enabling Ryan to keep going. And now he has a cool scar to get chicks into his pants.

Did you really want him to draw the carpet matching the curtains?

>>87869130
joyce would have been pulled from school, and sal tried to imply the cops couldn't be counted on.

That's it.

>>87869327
That's pretty much what I listed above: Joyce's parents would pull her from school, and the cops and the school would be incompetent.

But these are all based on assumptions, especially the latter. For all we know, the cops only need one more verifiable case of Ryan's sexual assault to bring him in or something.

>>87869153
Thank you!

I'm not quite autistic--just the perfect mix of weirdness for these topics. (Many of my friends are autistic, so I can tell the difference between myself and them pretty clearly.)

So here are the ingredients:

1. I'm a smartypants, so I have quick memory recall for dumb things that don't matter. I started reading the comic when it started (within the first week), so I remembered that the rape happened in the first year or so.

2. Went to Joyce's tag on the site (Joyce was in the current strip on the front page, so I didn't have to search for it), went back to the beginning and went back a few pages to find where the arc started.

3. Opened up each strip in the arc.

4. I'm a fast reader (Master's in English; yes, I spend way too much time on these threads, but I love good literary discussion), so all I had to do was skim each strip for relevant speech bubbles. If there weren't any in that specific strip, I closed out of that tab.

5. Copied and pasted each strip into Paint. There were only 10 of them in the end, so it took almost no time.

6. Grabbed the circle-making tool and circled the relevant speech bubbles.

7. Wrote up the descriptions. I type 95 wpm, so that took no time as well.

8. Numbered strips. Picked a color that would be easy to see.

9. Posted.

Only took me about 10 minutes. I have a migraine and needed something stupid to do.

>>87869245
I'm much rather at least get boobs. I honestly couldn't care less about seeing Willis' warped interpretation of what a vagina is.

>>87867492
Ryan surviving the attack with brain damage would have been a far more interesting outcome.

Surprisingly, him walking away from the attack is a possible, if highly unlikely, outcome. He'd still have a concussion and probable linear skull fracture, but as long as he didn't have increased intercranial pressure he'd be given antibiotics and held for observation for a few days.

>>87868953
Thanks for doing the work for this. I wish I had this breakdown when I was arguing with that one person the other day about this.

They blow that one doubt into such a huge sticking point, when I think Willis makes it very clear that Joyce was already dead set on not going to the cops. I don't even think Joyce buys the the idea that the authorities wouldn't do anything about it. I think she's more worried about herself and Sarah because of the cops being too thorough.

>>87869183
>Thanks for breaking her foot, Willis.

Oh god, you're right. I thought that was supposed to be her right foot tucked under, not her left foot. It's not even lined up with or connected to her left leg. It's a random foot she's got on her bed, like a teddy bear made by Jeffery Dahmer.

>>87869989
Sorry for not doing it sooner! I hope it helps keep the air clear of this part of the discussion. It doesn't do anyone any good to listen to everyone argue "Read the comic, n00b" when we can get the answers so easily.

>>87869327
Do Joyce's parents have to be called? She's an adult, so I would assume everything would be confidential if she wanted it to be.

>>87869378
>the cops only need one more verifiable case of Ryan's sexual assault to bring him in or something.
What a great victory for the gang that will be. Drugged Joyce and her idiot friends decide to let the matter drop, but still manage to catch the guy after he has created enough physical evidence by successfully raping a girl.

>>87867492
He's already got a Bro Squad as his henchmen to help him out.

>>87871317
Given Willis' penchant for Pyrrhic victories, nobody can have a happy ending. Somebody always has to be hurt or suffer.

>>87871267
Not necessarily, but filing a police report might eventually make it a matter of public record and she may need to serve as a witness. The bigger issue is Sarah, who would more than likely face accusations of aggravated assault from Ryan's attorneys which would be countered by a defense of others defense.

>>87872280
Ryan really is a supervillain nemesis. He's got a motif, gimmick, minions, thematically mirrors the protagonist, doesn't suffer permanent consequences, and can take one hell of a beating.

>>87869378
They're a bunch of 18-year-olds who have no idea how the world works, but they do know their parents.

There is no reason for Joyce to have told her parents, whether she reported it or not. Reporting doesn't mean it's going on the national news.

I know they were all being stupid freshmen (and sophomore), but the extent of their stupidity is a stretch.

>>87873354
I'm not sure if Willis understands how emergency contacts work in general. Remember how Walky is apparently Billie's emergency contact, despite her desire to keep as distant from him as humanly possible? You aren't just paired off with somebody at the beginning of the semester; you actively have to input your emergency contact information.

I assume Willis' primary train of thought was that the police would have contacted her parents regardless of her intent, since the one thing the police love to do is call people out of the blue to ask how they feel about their daughter's sexual assault. No, that's a job better left for "journalists" like Dorothy.

And I use "journalists" in quotes in regards to Dorothy specifically, since I've barely seen any actual journalism out of her in the past year of DoA we've subjected ourselves towards on a daily basis. Investigative work? Barely. Actual journalism? If you could call it that. All I know about Dorothy is that she's kind of a cunt, pretty loose, rather wishy-washy, and overall not somebody you'd want to be stuck in a car ride with while driving through the Deep South.

>>87873845
A better writer could have used Walky being Billie's emergency contact as a highly emotional, even touching, moment. Having her put the Walkertons as her emergency contact over her dad would have not only fit with what we've seen before it'd still allow Willis to involve Walky like he did.

Making Joyce 17 instead of 18 would have actually made it an issue since she'd still be a minor.

And Dorothy isn't a journalist by any stretch of the word. She's part of the campus newspaper, as a freshman she'd more than likely be doing copy editing or working as an assistant to others. And as someone from the Deep South, she'd fit right in, atheism aside, with the teenage girls at the Baptist church.

>>87874349
My apologies for stereotyping your people.

I believe she does work as an assistant to Daisy, but I could be mistaking it for her just having to answer to her. And yeah, freshmen have to go through at least a semester of classes before being considered for a reporter role unless they have qualifications. Did they ever go over Dorothy's class history in any amount? All I've ever seen about her is how she wants to be the first Hillary Clinton.

And yeah, Willis drops the ball almost consistently when it comes to having an option that would make a story point more emotional, touching, or at the very least worth sticking around to see play out in the long run. But he just shuts it down almost immediately when he gets writer's block or something.

>>87869130
What I don't understand is that colleges aren't SUPPOSED to be the ones bringing justice. Why even mention it?

>>87869183
>Who wants to pay money for an ass crack and side boob?
People who are bad with money and uncomfortable with sexual situations. Ppl like Willis.

>>87874633
I sometimes wonder whether Willis's strict avoidance of any emotional nuance is a product of his laziness or his flaming spite.

Also, we don't know much about the academics of any of the characters. There's the math class that Jason TAs for. There's Leslie's Women's Studies class. There's that one programming class that Amber and Danny go to. And there's Jacob and Sarah's law class that doesn't even have a visible teacher. That's it.

And Dorothy is actually a full-fledged reporter for the paper, as stupid as that may sound. She spent, like, two or three years out of story chasing Amazi-Girl in classic intrepid reporter style to interview her.

>>87868508
It's okay anon. As long as you don't completely forget about us.

Well, it's not as bad as the other three, but that might just be because backs are harder to screw up than fronts, what with Willis's inability to draw proper chests on girls OR guys.

Of course, there's still the issue with the foot. And there's something off about how he lights her hair. And the goggles look even more off than usual in this one. Fuck, does her blush go under the goggles? How big are those things?

>>87875498
One thing to also consider is the context of the pin-up. The other pin-ups have context (post-coitus; in media res; takin' a shower). But for this, it just seems like Marcie is showing off her rump for the hell of it. Almost as if she's doing it for no purpose other than to objectify herself.

Bravo, Willis.

>>87874951

Honestly, I have a bit of a thing for "official" nudes of characters so I can sorta see where it comes from. Not that I'd ever honor Willy with my patronage.

>>87875669
To be fair, I can see Marcie sending this to Malaya after the latter doesn't get the hint 500 more times

>>87875797
Official lewds are generally my jam, but people who make official lewds generally have a decent grasp on how the human body works. And they don't charge nearly as fucking much.

Sam & Fuzzy has entire 50 page books full of pin-up art (of varying lewdness), and those go for four bucks each.

>>87868508

>>87878015
More specifically it's the devil-horns next to your head and moving them up and down. It can also be done with the index finger extended and the thumb holding down the middle, ring, and pinkie, or making a c-shape over your chest with the palm facing inward.

First, what the fuck happened to Sydney Yus's hair? I didn't even realize it was her. I assumed that Galasso somehow created another spawn through asexual budding.

And I'm sure Willis could have thought of a better way to get across that Becky schlicks to the top of Dina's head than those hideous ending panels

Second, is Dina wearing a Jersey?

>>87878544
Is she having a stroke at then end? What happened?

>>87878544
Oh thank god, it switched.

Who's the chick in the third panel who would probably be hot enough to bone were she not drawn to resemble a monkey?

Also, I take it the joke here is that Becky is STILL obsessed with finding out what's under Dina's hat. The fact that there's a goddamn ocean of hair flowing out from the green thing should be hint enough about what's there.

Ultimately, it's just another case of mood whiplash, though as I said before, we at least broke at a good point instead of cutting off too soon or too late.

>>87878584
Are we sure "Where's Becky?" isn't just a general DoA meme? I don't want to think about what Willis thinks of us, unless it has to do with my censorships of his porn comics, in which case I'm still seeking his opinion.

Every night.

Dina knows not the meaning of tenderness or mercy. Amber gets to watch.

>>87839486
>Did he sleep through eight years of Dubya?
Back then "smugly apolitical" was the default view in his circles. Howard Dean was a punchline in an IW! strip. The owner of Keenspot made a really stupid liberal "satire" comic called Sore Thumbs and every other webcomic artist mocked it as the ridiculous piece of crap it was. Oh, those silly liberals, thinking their opinions matter!

Nowadays Willis makes strips that make Sore Thumbs look positively subtle and nuanced.

>>87849361
It was other Willis fans that introduced me to 4chan.

In retrospect starting to read IW! some 13 years ago was a huge mistake.

>>87878803

>It was other Willis fans that introduced me to 4chan.

It was Questionable Content which made me curious enough to check it out.

>>87878803
Honestly, /doag/ is the reason I starting visiting 4chan in the first place. I used to be legitimately scared of this place.

>>87878897
>I used to be legitimately scared of this place.
We all were when we were younger and pure.

>>87878803
Holy fuck I had completely forgotten Sore Thumbs was a thing I used to read

>>87878897
Same. I had sworn off the comic around the time Ross showed up, because I figured it would be a bland retread of the Amber/Blaine plot. Then the car chase happened and that drew me back in, and then I found out about patreanons, so I ended up here.

So technically, me being here is Becky's fault.

>>87878544
The Paneling in that last frame is making me actually upset.

Also is Sydney Yus sporting the Sidecut's slightly cuter friend, the Braided sidecut? Also is her hair somehow spiky like becky's and not curled like...a black person's normally would be. Or is she not black? Is that even Sydney Yus or does she just look like her?
Alright then.

That bit was never funny.

>>87878827

I'm not sure how I ended up on /co/. I used to post a lot on /po/ back in high school and college, but then somehow I drifted over here...

>>87879429
twas' tacitly unfunny. now it's crossed the pale of acceptability and is fully qualifed as officially unfunny

>>87879436
That's exactly what happened to me. I began most of my posting on /po/, but I drifted from there to /v/ primarily, until I ended up on /co/, where I've been ever since.

It's dragged on for too long without a payoff. It's probably going to last the rest of the DoA Day as a running gag where the day ends with Dina taking off her hat as if it's nothing special. But that's at least another month for us.

Here's the Willis Killjoy Answer:
>"Knowing what we know about Dina’s inclinations and what we know about Becky’s background, do you think that’s something that would occur any time especially soon? I’d say, barring any unforeseen developments, they’d be making smoochyface for at least a few weeks their time, which for us puts anything further somewhere in 2050 at the earliest."

>Honestly, /doag/ is the reason I starting visiting 4chan in the first place. I used to be legitimately scared of this place.
Me too! I was just really frustrated during the Mary/Carla arc and got tired of the crap the comments section spewed. They were so hateful. And so, so stupid.

I needed a comment section where I could help deconstruct the comic so I could talk about all the issues it has without getting yelled at by sycophants.

>>87878544
There has to be a better way to do that.

>>87881840

Yeah, don't do it at all

>>87881438

He'd best be jossing, I'm only really sticking around for a Joyce or Dina Slipshine.

Or Mary.
