/doag/ Dumbing of Age General

Oh sure, it's awkward and romantic when this twink does it, but when a heavyset black man does it a couple minutes past midnight, it's aggravated stalking. Apparently can't adjust my underwear either if it takes more than a couple of seconds. Racist pricks.

>>89171903
I like the idea of a heavyset black man calling out random Pokemon Go advice. It's an interesting visual.

>>89172394
Dammit if Joe and Joyce aren't a couple by the end of this I'm gonna be mad.

>>89172394
I have no idea what my emotions are supposed to be.

On the topic of structure, in regards to how Willis organizes his strips: There's very little actual structure. Willis cuts away like it's going out of style, without letting a narrative rise and fall as necessary.

>>89172394
I read the last panel and immediately thought of this.

>>89172394
Are you even allowed to hang a sex swing in a dorm? That would required at least a bit of drilling screws into the walls for support, right? You can't command hook that shit, Joe.

>>89172394
WHEN ARE JOYCE AND JOE GONNA DO IT

>>89172496

>>89172394
i feel incredibly bad for sarah in this strip.

is it because she's the only reasonably likable character trapped in a world of petty narcissists?

or is it because she's trapped at a table of petty narcissists?

or is it because, as the only character who seems to show basic human empathy, she's routinely thrust into situations that punish her concern for others?

>>89172394
The secret password is "participate".

>>89172394
joyce, pointing out that shes trying to attract a boyfriend in front of the (not single) guy shes trying to attract is no way to help your friend get a boyfriend

>>89172496
You can also get those plastic hook thingies and put them on the wall. Those can take a beating.

>>89173336
Joyce was home-schooled. I think that speaks for itself. I'm not saying home-schooled kids are bad or anything, but she is not super-used to trying to set people up, especially if they are outside her friend group.

>>89172496
You gotta get creative anon. I made mine out of 500-pound test paracord, my pillows, and my room mate's loft.

>>89171903
Are you speaking from experience?

>>89172394
Even with all of the nonsocial, awkward, autistic people I know, basically none of them have said something like what Sarah says in the first two panels.

>>89172502
2072, after Joyce entirely renounces her faith and so does Joe, because of reasons. Joyce is almost 20 at the time, and they were going to wait until marriage, but they have sex the day they get engaged because Joyce is so overwhelmed with happiness and love.

>>89171903
Sounds like something unfair happened. Sorry man.

Maybe their Diglett impression wasn't as good as Jacob's.

>>89172734
I wonder if there's a rhyme or reason as to why he picks the words he does. Maybe they're always in a specific type of sentence or panel?

>>89175515
that's the exact reason

>>89172394
It's pretty weird to mention the boyfriend thing so explicitly in front of Jacob.Also, Joyce is generally doing a shitty job as a wingwoman. She set up this situation, the least she could do is jump in with a "so how was class" or "Sarah was telling me an interesting story about baseball bat care" or something.

I can't wait to read how Joe is a patriarchal monster for declining to mention something but then saying it after getting pressured. Also, how his acknowledgement of Sarah's rejection is somehow more offensive.

I find it kinda funny how much Joe is genuinely into hooking up with Sarah. It's a bummer she finds him so distasteful when all she really wants right now (or feels she's capable of handling emotionally) is sex. Maybe that's how this will end up, she'll agree to bang Joe and request discretion, but Jacob will find out and think less of her because she's "slutty."

>>89174104
Well, this is more the misanthropic part of her. The awkward/asocial aspect of Sarah is all over the place, but generally she has no problem being critical or cracking jokes on people, it's just pleasant conversation she struggles with.

>>89172394
Wait, so Joyce doesn't know what a strap-on is but she knows what a sex swing is?

>>89172496
Sure you can, you just need a lot of command hook.

As far as I can tell, there are two elements to the words he picks: He goes for longer, unique words, and he uses words (or sets of words) that he hasn't used as passwords before.

This is because the passwords/titles of the strips are used as a means of hopping to a specific comic. For example, if you go to the URL http://dumbingofage.com/deceptress, it would take you to that specific strip with that specific password/title if it exists. If you use an incomplete word, like "ac" instead, it will autocomplete a word and send you to whatever comic's password/title begins with "ac".

>>89179617
go back to tumblr, willis.

>>89179670
I don't think Willis has it in him to say "nigger". In fact, I wonder if there's a filter for it in his comments the same way that there's a filter from "bitch" to "bongo".

>>89179797
I bet he says it all the time in private.

>>89179343
Glad to say I had most of them saved.

I was only missing the Asma one, and the coloured Ruth and Billie pic. And I've rectified that now.

>>89180144
Nah, but I bet he has his own censor for the word. Y'know, something like "nutter-butter" or "ningle" or "na-na-na". It begins with the letter "N" so that you know it's supposed to be "nigger", but it's not "nigger" so you can't accuse him of saying the word "nigger".

...

Y'know, when you say the word "nigger" a lot, it really starts to lose its meaning. Maybe that's how we solve racism.

>>89179797
He probably wouldn't allow the comment to go through at all.

>>89180300

4chan's great for that.

I think "nigger", "fag", and "autist" have lost all offensiveness here.

>>89171477

Water-type Pokemon typically appear near water. They appear in other places as well, but your best bet is to go to your local lake.

And the more people playing the game at the same time, the more Pokemon will appear.

Is Danny basically the guy from the "here eat the eggs" greentext from /b/?

>If you use an incomplete word, like "ac" instead, it will autocomplete a word and send you to whatever comic's password/title begins with "ac".

Are you the anon dictionary attacking to find the next 3 months of updates? Because that anon should be using this. Just run dumbingofage/a, /aa, /aaa, etc to see what autocompletes

>>89183007
Yeah, that's me.
But the auto-complete only applies to posts that are already live on the website, unfortunately.

>>89183112
That is surprisingly competent for Willis. My guess would be none of the pages are live even if the pngs are uploaded. So you need to go after dumbingofage.com/comics/*date*-*word*.PNG

But I'm sure that's obvious

>>89183369
It's a Wordpress thing. The images are uploaded in his queue, and as such they're live on the server. They're just inaccessible without knowing the date and password.
So yeah, pretty much what you just said right there.

You can even see how accessing future strips would work on a website without such security: http://www.itswalky.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/

>>89183478
Well, at least you can improve your dictionary over time by removing know passwords. You can get what, 2000ish (assuming book 7 means this is the 7th year of DOA) know passwords from already published strips.

>>89181266

Don't forget "cuck"

Chronic overuse has drained them of any meaning other than "Someone I do not like"

A hanging set of straps and such, so that you can do more positions easily. The nicer ones have to be mounted securely to the ceiling, but maybe Joe has one of these ones.

>>89184520
I imagine that he's managed to hook up a series of levers so that the swing lowers on command.

>>89185075
Middle grounds don't exist, because one side will always keep pushing until the other side pushes back. Today the situation is if a teacher even says nigger to start the conversation in a class about how she doesn't know racism she is suspended:

I'm not quite sure what Joyce is supposed to find shocking about what Jacob said. Is she surprised that people can be in a relationship without sex, or that someone thinks she was right about something?

>>89197749
Willis is really doing the "eyebrow several inches above the top of the character's head" thing this week.

>>89197749
I think she's shocked that Jacob has been talking for more than two panels in one strip.

I feel like this is supposed to be a dialogue at Sarah's expense, since she's the one who just wants to bone Jacob and be done with it. Would it be at Sarah's sexpense in that case?

>>89197749
She got totally reamed out for dating Ethan, and so did Ethan for dating her. Everyone thought it was awful and dumb and selfish, even though both Ethan and Joyce were happy.

Meanwhile, looks like the month of April will involve Leslie having to explain to her class (that is to say, the only people in her class who matter (that is to say, the cross-section of the main cast of "Dumbing of Age" who attend her course)) what she was doing with a Senator in the dead of night.

>>89197845
>Happy
Joyce thought she could change him and Ethan was in denial. They were "surface" happy. At BEST.

Man, what is even the point of this comic anymore?

I'm seriously asking. Willis himself has said that he's basically doing this on auto-pilot

But why is this what he churns out? Why do this when it's just miserable people being horrible to each other?

Who likes this? Who is the audience for this?

>>89198127
It's about shame and revenge. That's all the comments section seems to be getting out of it.

>>89197749
I assume Joyce finds shocking the same thing as I do: Jacob is twisting the situation around in order to justify her actions. He's acting like they had some kind of hetero-romantic, asexual relationship. But Ethan wasn't hetero-romantic, he liked guys. His half of the relationship was based on how much easier his life would be if he just pretended to be in love with a girl, instead of being gay. And Joyce knew he was gay, so her half was based on lying to herself that he loved her back. Neither side was making a strong decision.

I'm guessing this is Willis' way of awkwardly introducing Jacob as asexual though.

>>89197823
>I feel like this is supposed to be a dialogue at Sarah's expense, since she's the one who just wants to bone Jacob and be done with it.

I feel like this is Jacob telling them he's asexual. He just wants companionship without sex attached, so he's projecting his feelings onto a slightly similar, but nowhere near the same, situation.

>>89198257
>Willis' way of awkwardly introducing Jacob as asexual though
thats how i read it too, but that seems pretty weird considering he was a sex-addict in shortpacked

>>89198257
>awkwardly introducing Jacob as asexual
I'm guessing he's going to re-hash Jacob's sex addiction. So Jacob is abstaining from sex in the way an alcoholic might abstain from booze.

>>89198308
Willis said that the characters in DoA will be different from how they were portrayed previously.
Despite this, a good number of elements have crossed over from one universe to the other, such as Robin being in Congress and Amazi-Girl existing at all.

I can see Willis writing it so that Jacob has sex once and is immediately hooked.

>>89198374
>>89198305
>>89198257
>>89198308
He's definitely hetero, because all orientations are staying the same.

I agree that it's possible he'll do it once and realize he likes it a lot.

Willis did say he was going to like sex, but that he wasn't going to have that "Shortpacked extraness."

>>89198127

I dunno but it's getting to the point where it's boring even to criticize.

>>89198663
That's primarily because we've recently been given a relative lack of material to work with. The Toedad Saga will likely be unmatched due to all the physical impossibilities and logical fallacies involved. Everything in recent times has more or less been lackluster.

>>89198127
It's just a late-teen soap opera. Probably Willis projecting his college experiences and just making a webcomic out of it . It's probably meant for people who LOVED the social aspect of college, but either dropped out, didn't get a lot of socializing, or both. More than likely a thing to be nostalgic over I guess.

>>89198663
We need a new Toedad soon.

Hopefully Grandpa Lessik will provide.

>>89198723
That's assuming he shows up at all.
Like I said earlier, the month of April will have us focusing on the Leslie/Robin fallout, at least to some extent. As far as I can tell, the most that happens with Ruth is that Billie visits her in the hospital.

>>89198717
That's a good point. It's nostalgia for something you never experienced. I get that way with the 1980s myself. But that's why they invented vaporwave.

I think we all learned something interesting about ol' Cerb today.

>>89200594
Cerb usually insists that she's asexual, so it's definitely an interesting twist.

>>89200581
I'll agree with that. I wouldn't say Sarah looks scared, but she's definitely uncomfortable. If Joe gets off on seeing women uncomfortable, then that doesn't say much good about him.

But what he's really saying is that he likes standoffish girls, most likely because he wants to be the one who breaks past their boundaries and thus get freaky in bed.

Don't worry, she's still a proud queer ace woman who don't need no man.

Again, don't worry. Your opinion is still plenty problematic according to Cerb. Playing hard to get isn't a thing that people do anymore, apparently/

>>89200931
>immediately jumps to 'putting her in her place' thinking

It...it's not like the standoffish stereotype is female-exclusive. It's pretty prevalent in all sorts of media about all sorts of people.

Cerb shows very little cognizance or awareness outside of buzzwords.

>>89198427
But Danny was Hetero, but clearly has a thing for Ethan now.

>>89201045
Willis insists that he was bi all along but just hadn't shown it in story before.

>>89200931
I do at least get where she's coming from here. Interpreting a "soft no" as a challenge generally leads down a lot of unfortunate roads with pushy guys who think they can turn a "no" into a "yes."

I think what's most important to note here is that Joe will not seriously go after Sarah because he already knows she's not interested. She made it abundantly clear in the past, and Joe knows not to waste his time, because he can clearly get laid any time he wants to. He has no reason to spend time trying to get in Sarah's pants, because there are other women who are more accessible.

>>89172394
It sounds like she's doing that thing moody teenagers do where they spiral into their problems.
"I dunno man, she didn't call me and I'm just like... what the fuck, you know? We were all meant to be and it's like... I'm heartbroken and sniffle."

No no no, Danny was always kind of a bisexual. Everyone is, right? Even though he never made any indication of it in a story primarily about relationships, Danny was always kind of gay. That's just a natural part of being a straight guy. Right, Willis?

>>89198127
>Man, what is even the point of this comic anymore?
Money for Willis' lifestyle?

>>89201206
Just like how Ultra-Car was a woman all along, even though she had plenty of opportunities to correct humans and chose not to do so!

Willis goes by the law of "if I haven't shown directly otherwise, then it's still totally fair game, and even then........"

>>89171477
That's actually a decent one, punchline isn't over the top and obtuse like Willis' usual jokes.

It would be hilarious if it turned out that Sarah was thinking out loud and didn't mean to sound so memodramatic. And better written.

>>89201869
hey, lots of fucking in college, you can do both and try to chase that perfect balance webcomic with inCase

>>89201089
That's the problem with Joe and Cerberus, really. Joe is a horndog through and through; I think we can all agree on that. But this is Willisland and all characters must be distinguishably good or bad. Since Joe hangs out with the main cast occasionally, he is 'good', so you get the 'ethical slut' version of a horndog who respects the shit out of boundaries and is secure in his masculinity and doesn't get pushy or presumptuous or otherwise makes an ass of himself.

And that's not bad in itself (though I'd say that the majority of college freshmen aren't mature enough to have that sort of nuanced look on hooking up), but Cerebus (apparently) has extensive experience with the bad sort of horndog, and since she can't take her frustration out elsewhere, she takes it out on poor, innocent Joe.

She'd be making good points if this was, perhaps, a more realistic situation, but because Willis writes character dynamics like he's writing a Saturday Morning Cartoon, the point is moot because Joe will never be placed in a situation where his sluttiness will backfire in a way that significantly hurts someone else

>>89201913
Oh man, you're right. I mean, I'll never be as good as inCase but I could pull that off.

>>89200500
>>89200931

Thanks.

Also, Joe internalized Sarah's hard no right after she said it you big dumb liar. It's also really unfair to characterize Joe as being into Sarah's scared and worried posture, when he has explicitly said he's into her "angry energy" that is also on display in that strip. She doesn't suffer fools, and that can be hot, and it connects to Joe enjoying being tied down and rode by Roz. He'd probably be way into getting verbally abused by a Sarah in a light Dom/Sub relationship (and Sarah would probably be into it to, if she could get past her utter disdain for him enough to have... disdain for him while fucking).

Also he wasn't going to say *anything* until Joyce pushed him, which counts for something.

>>89197749
Jacob's description is a bit of a misinterpretation of their relationship, considering Joyce was softly trying to change Ethan and Ethan was pretty uncomfortable with the physical contact Joyce initiated.

Also, Ethan doesn't want to not be gay, he just wants to not have his gayness overtake every other part of his personality, So he was getting to enjoy cartoons n stuff with Joyce without constantly being reminded of his sexuality, but he could also find a cute nerd boy to do that with and get that along with sexual gratification.

But generally if he was fine with not having sex, and if Joyce could be with him without making him uncomfortable by touchin' his doughy body, then sure, I could see it being fine. Also, while Joyce is uncomfortable with the idea of sex due to her upbringing and encounter with Ryan, she is also horny as fuck and would benefit by being able to work through those boundaries at her pace with someone who would reciprocate in tandem with her.

I think the statement is more interesting in the context of Jacob's relationship with Raidah. Considering we know next to nothing about both of them. It kinda points to Raidah not wanting to have sex either. It could be a no sex out of wedlock situation.

Also, I'll gladly await Sarah giving Jacob her good pussy and breaking up his relationship while losing any chance with Jacob forever more.

>>89202823
I want to stuff Joyce's lady hole like a turkey on Thanksgiving.

It's generally written like he does. Willis just doesn't show any of it because, one, he hates to show anything ge doesn't have to, and two, because he hates to come up with new character designs and all the female NPCs in the comic are too sapphic to be used for a one-night stand

>>89202948
Might be that Raidah is too obsessed with her studies to go rolling in the hey every 5 minutes.

Matter of fact, what do we know about Raidah anyways?

>>89202529


You know, I really dont have a problem with Dumbledore being gay PER SE, but it was weird she waited so long before ever bringing it up. The story's been over so long it would be really, REALLY irrelevant to bring up what he sticks his dick into regardless what his orientation was.

I mean if it doesn't matter what the names of Calvin's parents were for the purpose of the narrative, according to more than one person on here, why would it matter what team Albus batted for?

I just don't get it. Unless Rowling was just trying to score liberal brownie points, why make a point of it?

>>89203168
she just kinda blurted it out during an interview when asked if dumbledore had a wife before or not

I think it's more she just said something she just sorta thought about for a long time and then fangirls running with it

Dumbledore's sex life never was important in the story of HP so it makes sense, to me at least, why it never came up

>>89203168
Now with prequel movies being made, it might actually matter, but I agree that at the time it was probably just said as a cheeky aside to trigger bigots and endear herself to queers.

Just like the revelation that Dumbledore ever had a wife would have lead to tons of fanfiction about a younger Dumbledore and the drama surrounding his doomed marriage and chicks self inserting as his mistress or something.

>>89203483

why do you think Homestuck was so popular?

hell, why do you think Dumbing of Age is semi-popular?

>>89203211
I'm sure it did both trigger bigots and endear herself to some queers, but I think it's pretty cowardly to do stuff like that outside the text.

And in general it's just shitty. If you can't figure out how to convey whatever idea you have in the text you're making, then you have failed. You don't just get to say, "Well in my mind I always thought Ziv Zulander was a robot too" after the series is dead and gone.

I'd say the same thing for things that have open interpretations. If a text supports multiple readings because you have failed to sufficiently close the door on some of them, then coming out and saying it's only one of them is an admission of your inability to write/direct and nothing else.

In general, don't come out and make clarifications on your work, unless it's in the form of a revision.

Iirc, it came up during a Q&A where somebody specifically asked if he had ever been in love. It would have been nice if it had come up in the books, but at the same time, I can see how it's not really important enough to mention.

>>89203162

She was friends with Sarah's roommate Dana, but dismissed any problems with Dana after her mother died.

When Sarah decided Dana needed help and alerted her father, resulting in Dana leaving, Raidah concluded Sarah was just a buzzkill who hated fun and Dana and just wanted a quiet room to study in.

Then Raidah spearheaded the estrangement that led to Sarah becoming a cynical introvert.

Also she's Muslim or from a Muslim family, or something.

>>89203686
Death of the Author should be taught in every high school's literature program. All that matters is whether you can defend your interpretation better than the other guy. Fahrenheit 451 is alwayd going to be about censorship, even if Bradbury believed that it was about the corruption of modern media on society

That said, I think the internet gives Rowling too much and too little credit. I can definitely see myself writing in character details for a story that end up not getting portrayed because the story ended up not needing that trait. It's something that happens when you worldbuild the fuck out of a story, and just because you weren't able to put it into the story doesn't mean it's not true (Of course, if I were Rowling, I would have used stuff like Pottermore or compilation books to write short stories in that same universe that show off those traits that are good story fodder but weren't suitable for a coming-of-age fantasy story, but I digress). And I vaguely remember hearing that she corrected a scriptwriter on one of the movies about Dumbledore's sexuality, so it wasn't a spur of the moment thing.

It's when post-work postscripts violate the actual text of the work that I get pissed. Which is, naturally, why Willis always gets my goat

Oh no, Danny's face is melting!

>>89204054
She's also, like, baseline decent. She seemed to be nice to everyone at the mall besides Sarah, and she got pissed when one of her friends called Dina a retard

But considering that Willis doesn't like Sarah as much as some of his other protagonists, the racist, it's a coin flip on whether Raidah will keep being normal or turn into a shrill harpy to be defeated and stomped on

It's so weird some of the things Willis changed and kept with the cast in Dumbing of Age. Like, for two characters he made a couple early on (Danny and Sal) it's so odd to see the lack of chemistry between them. That said, Sal is totally different from how she was in Roomies.

A whole thread with no Dewd? Did he die?

>>89210493
While I agree with you on Robin and Leslie, I like Danny and Sal's dynamic in DoA, and I'm bummed because I think they probably won't ever get together.

I posted this in an older thread:
>It's a rehash, but I liked the Danny Sal stuff. He gets a backbone around her, and she treats him like he's incredibly harmless. I'd love to see the dynamic there change because of an emotional connection to where they start dating from the same level. Unlike with Dorothy and Amazi-Girl, where I think he put them on a pedestal, which is a similar deal to that one time with Billie.

With the current situation I could see them having a chance meeting. Danny is down about Amber, Sal is down about Marcie. Danny is happy to see someone to talk to, while Sal is still pissed about him telling her off last time they talked.
http://pastebin.com/i8t7Am3j

>>89208180
>>89208483
I was thinking about a relative lack of inter-connectivity between characters. Sure, all of the characters are connected, but they aren't ALL connected to each other in some way, in that they all haven't have strong stories with each other. You have Sarah and Joyce, you have Amber and Sal, you have Dorothy and Walky, et cetera. But there is still a strong amount of room for expansion and improvement; Willis should consider setting aside stories he wants to tell with X & Y and A & B, and consider stories with X & B and A & Z. Know what I mean?

That's why I looked to Joyce/Danny strips. They've only had two strips of direct interaction across all six years and all 1800+ strips.

>>89211606
>possibly the worst /co/ OC ever
That would imply that /co/ has made good OC.

>>89208180
>>89213215
>>89213282
I hear what you're saying, but ever since Danny got dumped by Amber, does he have ties to anyone?

I mean he has a strenuous one to Sal through being concerned about Amber but that's about it.

he hasn't even talked to Joe in years

>>89213324
He'll soon be tied to Ethan if Willis has his way.
By which I mean he'll be tying the knot.

The dog-dildo knot.

Danny will be wearing a strap-on.

>>89213356
do you think Willis will actually go through with a gay couple?

The thought of just one penis usually throws him into a vomiting fit

plus, he kinda wrote himself out of it by both Ethan and Danny saying they shouldn't' date because it would hurt Amber. If Willis was an actual decent writer I would say that's an obvious swerve and they will get together but Willis is one inept motherfucker

>>89213500
He has done them before. He even did a porno with 3 or 4 pages of a gay blowjob.

I don't know what his Ethan plan is though.

>>89213500

so... sarah is sitting pretty normally to me. her arms are crossed (closed posture,) and she's avoiding eye contact, but she's not a very forthcoming person anyway. could it be that ol' cerby is overanalyzing things? making mountains out of molehills, as it were? sarah could simply be annoyed and passive-aggresively expressing it to joyce, or joe could be a hypersexed monster salivating over his vulnerable prey.

nah, the woman couldn't be that self-possessed. better empower her and let Joyce off the hook for creating the situation in the first place by making joe the bad guy here.

mmm... much better when the woman's the victim...

>>89214160

>the "Dumbledore was gay all along, guys...promise!" spin.
Christ you people are everywhere.
"Dumbledore is gay" was NOT a publicity spin by Rowling. She got a version of a script for movie 6 that had Dumbledore recount an old flame referring to them as "her" and probably in enough detail to be unambiguously a woman, and Rowling returned the script with the note "Dumbledore's gay" to reject the additional writing. Someone on the development team broke that story. In the books proper Rowling never needed to say that because it was unimportant to the plot and could really be gleamed from the last book only (Dumbledore was going to run away with Grindelwald and seemed heartbroken about him, that stuff's pretty blatant)

>>89213500
>he wrote himself out of it
I didn't think he did. Isn't the whole Mike and Ethan thing because Mike noticed how Danny and Ethan were acting? I think that's going to come into play.

I do hope Danny and Sal become a thing. In Roomies, Danny looked to Sal like he did Dorthy and Amber. I like the idea of this reversing and Sal and him working out.

What 18 year old would find it offensive that they are an "irresistible sex object"? That sort of thing has got to be pretty sweet for a while.

>>89221205
>Also, yesterday's password, which I didn't actually look up last night, was "mrsdegree", as in "Mrs. Degree". What does that even mean?
its a dig at how joyce is only at college to get a husband and isnt really interested in education. shes getting a degree in being a wife instead

So is Jacob a virgin in the DoA universe? Because this really sounds like he's a virgin.

>>89220980
>Jacob becomes a successful lawyer because his broad shoulders and muscular physique intimidate opposing counsel and jurors alike
>he once managed to win a case by ripping off his shirt and flexing for ten minutes
>every night he sits alone in the dark and dies a little inside knowing that his weight set is more valuable to his career than his time in law school

>>89221205
>Also, yesterday's password, which I didn't actually look up last night, was "mrsdegree", as in "Mrs. Degree". What does that even mean?
It's the MRS Degree--going from Ms. to Mrs. As in getting married.

Some women go to college specifically to find a husband.

You got a good smile and laugh out of me. I would read this comic.

>>89220937
Okay, as far as 'clumsily reaching out to black people' goes, this is better than 'mommy hated me because I came out darker', but not...good.

It reminds me of when Willis wrote Ethan complaining about how everything started revolving around his gayness (gayosity?) while giving him nothing but plotlines about his sexuality. Jacob is saying a thing that is technically true about black guys (and guys in a lot of other minorities) but it doesn't work here because 80-90% of Jacob's screentime has been as a lust object, either for Sarah or Ethan or, in the case of his pin-up, anyone in Willis's fanbase who likes dudes. It is, by far, the most pertinent fact about Jacob (even if there are only 4-6 facts to know about Jacob).

In fact, he specifically gave Walky, his only other black(ish) main character, a goddamn rocket for a penis, so I'm not sure where he got the stepladder to get on this fucking high horse

is it possible for someone whose asexual to have a sex addiction? (for reasons other than actual desire, obviously) trying to figure out if jacob being ace could actually work

id ask in the comments but im avoiding them out of spite

>>89221776
I think it's possible. They may be addicted to masturbation, which could happen if they are not attracted to other people.

They can also be addicted to the feelings sex gives them, even though they are not attracted to the person or anyone else.

Sex releases endorphins, so it's quite possible for an asexual person to have sex with someone they're not attracted to and then want those feelings again and again.

>>89221402
The problem with Jacob is that he doesn't have a storyline that involves him, just one that revolves around him. The entire point of the speech he gives in this strip is panel 6; this story isn't about Jacob, it's about Sarah.

That being said, I'm finding myself liking Jacob and Joyce's interaction. The idea that Jacob "gets" Joyce and can understand where she's coming from on some level is a nice change of pace from how everyone usually interacts with her.

>>89221902
>They can also be addicted to the feelings sex gives them, even though they are not attracted to the person or anyone else.

That sounds closer to a real-life sex addiction than anything.

>>89221957
>That being said, I'm finding myself liking Jacob and Joyce's interaction. The idea that Jacob "gets" Joyce and can understand where she's coming from on some level is a nice change of pace from how everyone usually interacts with her.
Can you imagine Jacob and Raidah breaking up because she wants lots of sex and then getting with Joyce, despite Sarah being her roommate and how her mega-white family would react to Joyce dating a black guy?

>>89183828
If you think something like "drawfag" was ever meant to be offensive, you have not been here long enough.

>>89222064
Is it wrong that I want Joyce to be the one freaking out about dating a black guy while her family adores Jacob?

>>89222064
What if Joyce's mother was fine with Jacob, but her father was barely suppressing his discomfort?

>>89220937
Maybe it's because I'm a fugly jackass but I can't imagine being upset that I appear as a sexual object to people. Especially if I AM bright and compotent.

Are people hiring Jacob for his looks or putting dollar bills in his G-string, or trying to beat him ff left and right? This seems the problem someone would have if this issue was so prevalent that he literally couldn't go a day without someone trying to fuck him.

I mean I guess that's what this is saying? I dunno seems kinda like an odd issue for Jacob to bring up.

Willis is still alive? Thought he would have killed himself after the election. Wait a minute, are him and all the other hillshills gonna mass suicide at the inauguration to try and empower the she devil enough to overcome Trump's meme magic? Is that the plan?

>>89222626
dont be ridiculous, hed have to have beliefs for that

>>89222499
I agree, being found attractive, even superficially, sounds really appealing. I can't really empathize with him.

>>89223615
>>89222499
Really, it's a different type of privilege. The only times it's a real problem is when people are getting sexually aggressive and when you're in a love triangle.

Love triangles are the worst. You think they're awesome and fun, but they are not. Avoid at all costs.

The more prominent your attractiveness is, the more people think they have the right to touch it. I don't know why. I have a thicc booty, so quite a few people that I even consider my friends have thought it's fun to grab my butt, even though I am a VERY private person and my butt is very much off-limits. But it's big, so people want to touch it.

But I don't think Jacob is getting groped.

People can fantasize about him if they want to. It's generally really easy to tell when people only want you for how you look. Jacob doesn't seem to have that problem. Sarah isn't actively going after him--just lusting in the privacy of her own brain.

Unless Jacob is planning on joining the Thought Police, he can kindly take his nose out of everyone else's heads.

And unless Jacob is actively getting groped and propositioned, then he's just being narcissistic by even bringing it up in the way he did. If it was a real, actual problem, then he would be talking about how he's so attractive to people that they come up and grope him, and it makes him uncomfortable. But instead, he's trying to shoehorn his own Xtreme attractiveness into a conversation about Joyce and Ethan dating. I call BS, Jacob.

>>89222626
I like to think he'll be in a pillow fort all week after the election. Or that he'll claim he is so he will look like a good ally.

>>89221957
>just one that revolves around him.
>give a character a speech about he doesn't want to be seen as just an object as you use him as an object in someone else's storyarc
My fucking sides.

>>89202406

Curses! I didn't take his undying neediness and vanity into account!

>>89223932
Given the fact that he's a black guy (and the fact that I'm a black guy), I interpreted his speech as focusing on the specific racially-tinged sexual objectification that black guys often get. The sort of people who automatically assume that you have a big penis and are an animal in bed are often the same people who'll automatically call you Tyrone/Jamal/Any Black Basketball Player and assume that you're an animal in real life. At best, you mentally get lumped in with the one black celebrity they like. At worst, you're considered subhuman in a way that fetishizes your subhumanity

It makes more sense to me that way because it would be Willis screwing up representing minority interests by ignoring how he himself exploits them (see >>89221402)

>>89220937
>A dude talking about sexual objectification
>So progressive
meh

Also the idea that Joe doesn't know how Jacob feels about this, when they are good friends, yet all he talks about is sex, is baffling.

This is also more of a burn on Willis' dumb brain. Ever since Jacob was introduced, his main concept has been hot black man (and the degree to which hot and black were separated was always in contention). And other characters who have been lusted over like Mike or Joe, never were presented as lusted over in the same way as their primary value. But now Willis is 'making commentary.' Dude, you're making commentary based off your own shitty prejudices not mine. And I severely doubt you'll start giving this quaternary character a ton of development into something more than a sex object without any sexual attractiveness.

I'm kinda reminded of listening to Dan Harmon talk about race, and realizing he has these prejudices he doesn't realize, or these big holes he doesn't know about while he stumbles around. Difference is, Harmon has this constant idea that he's gonna be wrong, so forgive him and he's there to learn, whereas Willis thinks he's preaching a sermon of egalitarianism. Fuck off.

>>89220937
this would be more impactful if all of Willis' plot lines with Jacob weren't talking about how hot he is

hell, Willis even keeps talking about how attractive he is when a fan ask him about Jacob

>>89227753
But Willis is white. He's racist by default, can't control it, and can never completely remove his own racism.

>people on here actually read and discuss this garbage
/co/ really is the worst board

>>89227753
Willis even admits he's racist

remember the meltdown he had over Optimus Prime's toy colors?

>>89227951

Why would he have a problem with it?

I mean it's... just a toy.

>>89223932
>>89222499
Attractive people tend to have increasingly messed up senses of self-worth and accomplishment the more attractive they are due to a perception by others that attractive people don't have to try hard or be good at something because people will give them a pass for being attractive combined with the fact that some people will do exactly that for attractive people. Also if you constantly have people trying to get into your pants you might start thinking everyone is trying to get into your pants unless proven otherwise.

>>89226467
Surprisingly I don't think this is the case, considering that Jacob is dating a black woman, is being lusted after by a black woman, and the only white woman who has shown an interest in him ducked out the moment she found out he didn't want to bone. While Willis has a shitton of issues regarding his prejudices that he seems unwilling to address, I don't think it's any different than making all of Ethan's plotlines about him being gay or making the Rapin' Ryan arc about Amber instead of Joyce.

>>89197749
>I'm not quite sure what Joyce is supposed to find shocking about what Jacob said. Is she surprised that people can be in a relationship without sex, or that someone thinks she was right about something?

It's gonna be shocking to about 70% of /co/ so...

>>89228256

>considering that Jacob is dating a black woman

She might be middle-eastern

>>89228256
>>89228757
Also, Roz is hispanic.

>>89229253
Hispanic is a cultural-linguistic category. You can have Hispanics of any race or ethnicity.

Maybe Jacob is just sick and tired of being asked if he's one of the guys from Blacked.com.

>>89229463
>In a shocking swerve it turns out he did some films for Blacked.com during the summer between high school and college

>in a second, even more shocking swerve it turns out Sarah also did some porn that summer under the name Candy Kanes
>and in the most shocking swerve of them all it turns out they would have starred in a scene together except the shoot was cancelled because Roz rounded up a group of anti-porn feminists to protest because mainstream porn is degrading towards women

>>89226832
>Willis thinks he's preaching a sermon of egalitarianism.
Yes, I think part of Willis's many problems is that he doesn't know the difference between informing and preaching. Instead of sharing information and spreading openness, he blathers on about how awesome he is for making all these characters soooooo different from characters in other media.

>>89229806
>mainstream porn is degrading towards women
>amateur porn tapes are fine if you mean to destroy your sister's career

I know it's a hypothetical, but that still sounds in-character for Roz.

You can be pro-porn and anti-porn industry. It has been getting better since the dawn of the industry, but the porn industry is still full of completely sketch and exploitative producers. But yes, it'd be completely within Roz's character. Hell, I'm pretty sure she'd completely shit on Joe for his behavior despite doing the exact same thing and fucking him.

Gee, I have no idea why, but I think that wouldn't work as planned.

>>89231867
Nah, she intentional releases them herself to control narratives. She drops a video then has her shill team start sockpuppeting with anti-feminist and slutshaming while the rest of of her PR machine paints as an attack by sexists against a strong, independent woman in charge of her sexuality.

>>89231279
roz is pro-sex in general. i could see her hating the porn industry but she clearly doesnt have a problem with joe

But they did nothing. Joyce was trying to fix Ethan and Ethan wanted people to stop thinking of him as gay so he went back into the closet, how is that any sort of ideal or even related to what Jacob is talking about ?
Sounds to me like Willis is trying to retcon what happened

>>89197749

Any attempt to characterize Joyce and Ethan's "relationship" as something beyond a self-loathing gay man attempting to normalize himself and a desperately religious woman attempting to hetero up a gay man is pathetic and misguided.

>>89236331
I kind of agree with you

that or Willis forgot what he wrote

>>89201666

what no stop

>>89236331
It was a little of both. It was good for them in that they had semi-romantic company (holding hands and stuff) without the pressure of sex. Joyce wanted to suppress her urges, and Ethan wanted to suppress his. They were doing it out of honor for their faith, which tells them they are wrong for having their urges. It was for religious and romantic reasons. Doesn't make it a good thing, but that's what they were doing.

>>89204081

>sleeps naked except for her gloves

why wouldn't gloves be the first thing to come off?

I'm a drunk, I've passed out wearing things plenty of times, but never gloves

>>89236830
The story is that after the hand-stabbing, Sal never takes off the gloves. One even has a red dot on it because that's where she was stabbed.

I don't think there's much more to it than that.

>>89217405

Huh. Neat.

>>89236757
>out of honor for their faith

I think you might be misremembering it, anon.

Joyce did it out of faith while Ethan did it because he didn't want to have "gay" be his defining personality, which is ironic because this and every plot line after involving Ethan is about him being gay

>>89220937

>I mean, look at ME.

Jacob I got bad news for you, only Sarah has a Diglett fetish

>>89236901
Ethan finds him attractive too, I think

maybe Danny but I honestly don't know if they've ever talked to each other

>>89237153
Jacob doesn't have to worry about Danny perving on him. Danny is a closet racist anyway. He only liked Sal before Willy turned her black in It's Walky!

>>89220980
I thought just Sarah wanted to go into law? If he's this hung up now, he's going to have a hell of a time during the drunken mating season known as 1L.

>>89236862
It's currently only a theory, one that Willis refuses to confirm.

>>89236900
I seem to remember Ethan also wanting to please God in the same way that Joyce was, but he's Jewish, so like... that version of God.

I'm sure he didn't want to be "That Gay Guy" as well. I know that was at least part of it.

>>89236901
Word of Willis says he is MEGA-HOT.

>>89237518
They're in the same pre-law class.

>>89238877
Not that anon, but it's not about being threatened. It's about taking a sex-positive comic and then turning it into pure insults, rather than just answering questions. The absurd sense of superiority is obnoxious, especially when you know that Willis didn't know anything about sex until he was 19.

As a woman, I'd rather just have the information come to me in a neutral way. I don't want some snide webcomic character telling people that they're stupid just for not knowing about one specific type of masturbation aid. It's dumb and needlessly insulting.

>>89237870
Reminder that this strip was written by a guy who would cry every time he tried to jack off until he was 19 because he thought his dead grandma was watching him.

>>89239753
>It's currently only a theory, one that Willis refuses to confirm.
Is it? I thought Willis probably said something once in a blog post or comment and assumed that everybody read said post/comment.

>Word of Willis says he is MEGA-HOT.
He's apparently so hot that even Willis gets the vapors when drawing him.

>It's about taking a sex-positive comic and then turning it into pure insults, rather than just answering questions.
This, pretty much. The bulk of complaints that we have about his OJST parody strip is that it's antithetical to OJST itself.

Can someone explain this to me? They look pretty much the same color. Hell, unless my eyes are fucking with me, she looks slightly lighter than Walky.

>>89240012
It's the hair
The girl twin was born with kinkier hair
That's literally it

>>89240012
in the last panel of this strip Sal actually looks darker.
why can't willis write. or draw.

>>89240012
For some reason Sal chose to start talking in a southern accent even though neither of their parents do
It's weird how the author chooses to maintain things from the previous comics and then fucks it up because he can't be bothered to integrate it in a way that makes sense

>>89240012

It's exactly the same color. I remember someone checking, and it's the same exact hex code for the color.

It's just the naturally kinky hair like >>89240078
said, the fact she smokes (probably Newport brand) cigarettes, and that she robs convenience stores that makes her "blacker".

>>89240012
They're the same colour. Sal is talking about how her hair is naturally more kinky. And then later on Walky was quiet and nerdy(read: white), while Sal was outspoken and violent (read: black).

Willis has really failed to show his work on the parental favouritism, let alone the racial aspect. I'm fine with the concept that her resorting to crime is a product of poor parenting, but he really should show some of how they treated her in basic situations, that would lead to her feeling less of a person than Walky.

>>89240144
She talks in a "southern" accent ostensibly because she got sent to a boarding school in Tennessee (?). Although, I'm not sure if the age when she went would actually cause her to pick that up. Also, her accent seems incredibly poorly done, and might not match the region? I dunno enough about US accents to comment, but I did see those issues raised in earlier threads.

>>89220937
Not to completely ignore the issue of being seen as only a sex object, but I think attractive people generally get more opportunities than their homelier colleagues. And not just in sex related areas, but just across the board. They're more likely to get good jobs or good positions, because people react positively to them.

So in some ways it's bunk to complain about your looks holding you back, when those looks will often give you a leg up over someone with similar qualifications who isn't as attractive.

Yes, to some extent, people might treat you as a bimbo, especially if there's other prejudices that make them think you can't be smart. So, I'm sure Jacob could encounter that stuff in theory, but him acting like his attractiveness is just a burden that will keep him from being anything more than a pretty face isn't entirely true.

Even the example of Sarah doesn't really hold up, because while she is ignoring some of the things he says, she has still had more of a connection with him than with most of the other characters. Despite her misanthropy, she lets him in, because he's sexy. That's way more than she's willing to give to others, even if it's not coming from not the best place.

>>89220980
I thought he was a Ditto transformed into Machoke.
