I don't even know what this strip says because all I can see is Tall Dina and Copy-Paste Interns. Good job, Willis.
Patreanon, does any of this matter tomorrow?
Not Patreanon, but:
>does any of this matter tomorrow?
It's "Dumbing of Age". Nothing ever matters.
Nothing of importance. Robin thinks she has huge tits though. Tiny handed freak.
>>83622792
He's not even trying to be subtle, is he
>>83622695
>>83622792
Willis needs never to even attempt political satire ever again. This is even more painful to read than usual.
>>83622792
>This will totally stump Drumpf!
>>83622792
People like dainty woman it's when men have tiny hands that it's funny. Come on man if you're gonna steal jokes from sunny do it right.
>>83622899
>Willis steals jokes from Always Sunny.
>Becky buys a boat, invites Joyce out on the water.
>because of the implication.
no remember this is a period piece. that's why he's making fun of Palin, it's 2010
>>83622792
Wow....
This is just......terrible.
I'm actually floored by how bad this is.
>>83622966
Assuming this is 2010, the joke is still dated by 2 years.
>>83622966
Honestly the real palin is funnier then this.
>>83622792
I really, really, REALLY want to believe that this is fake. I know it's not, but I want to believe.
Thanks for sharing.
Now if only we could find out why this is being shoved down our throats.
>>83622966
she has a mock Make America Great Again hat
>>83622792
This is about as subtle as a brick wall.
I think we're hitting a weakness of Willis' months-long buffer. He writes "timely" humor that ends up falling flat because it doesn't come out until three months after the fact. It's sort of like how "South Park"'s week-long production period can allow for references to recent events while shows like "The Simpsons" take far too long to make satirical references to those same events simply because of the length of episode production.
>>83622792
All of these jokes are going to be immediately dated. Like in a years time. Except unlike shortpacked which is always topical, DOA is in a sliding timescale of a period of months, so this will still have happened like...last week in universe.
Also, I can't even call half of these jokes. It's like he's just...referencing things OTHER funny people pointed out months ago.All that being said, Robin is still my favorite Willis girl and I am all for her "huge honkers"
>>83622792
Every time a shitty internet-popular comedian does a really lame and pathetic job making fun of Trump, my urge to vote for him purely out of spite increases just a little bit.
>>83623272
MAGA, friend
>>83622792
I can't imagine writing the script for this strip and thinking "yeah, that looks good. I've done a good job for that day."
Also the sameface is so strong that I keep thinking Frieda looks like Billie or Dina or Mary. If she disappears for a while and reappears without introduction it will be impossible for me to remember which character she is.
>>83623261
Now that you bring that up, looking only at panels 1 and 4, could you tell who the fuck these people are? I'd assume slightly off model thin Billie talking to Dina or something.
>>83623199
>District 9
Fuck those damned africanized loser bugs.
>>83622695
>congresswoman
>mini skirt
>20s
I mean I'm sure he can't depict any other age at all, but this is just...
>>83623428
He got his idea of public officials from a porn obviously.
>>83623428
>>83623513
I'd still bang her, so if that was his goal...She's trying to get the sexy vote, right?
>>83623558
Maybe. Now where is Becky to be obnoxious and drool over those melons while Joyce whines over her loss of faith in politicians.
>>83623272
It's weird, for me it's every time I read a story about someone saying Trump graffiti or a trump sticker is hate speech. Fuck you and fuck your shit liberals. People who have different ideas from you are allowed to express them and if your only defense is to yell racism at them, you have no argument. Bad ideas should be made public so they can be logically argued against, fucking dumbasses.
>>83623428
Is she a senator or rep? If she's a senator, she must legally be 30, a rep only needs to be 25. It's in the Constitution
>>83623428
>>83623513
Assuming her natural waist is somewhere near her jacket pockets, her skirt is at a professional length.
>>83622966
No it works on Simpson time. It's Fall 2016.
And yes he is aware of how much that dates everything in this comic like strips talking about a new movie, comic, or Transformer coming out.
>gun thing
What gun thing?
>>83623657
The right is no better right now. Neither side wants discussion they just want to fling their own shit at one another.
Political discussion has essentially devolved into team sports where neither side can actually open up to ideas or a possible middle ground.
>>83622792
Stole a joke from John Oliver. Classic willis. Tell me when he dies of cancer.
>>83622792
Damnit, I should be doing portfolio work, bu I can not escape the sweet allure of DeSanto teets.
>>83623219
Also keep in mind this is supposed to be 2010, according to DoA. This kind of cements that it uses QC's rule of time where it's simultaneously Current Year and 2010.
>>83624082
Toedad.
Everything comes back to Becky.
>>83624178
It's not. DOA operates on a sliding timeline. It's Fall 2015 or Fall 2016 right now.
>>83624198
Go to bed, Marco.
>>83624198
Enough of the conspiracies Ted. He does that now and he'd be toast as a businessman. He's already burned bridges with globalists bankers (Hillary's backers) He burns it with the millions of Americans and its over.
I know his history and he's a worker. He'll make good on everything and leave both parties licking their wounds well beyond his two terms.
>>83622963
The church will be singing that hot new hymn "The Lord is Going Down on Me"?
>>83624128
Add it to your portfolio.
Missed opportunity for an American flag themed bra though.
>>83623824
looks like her knees are around the stripe on her socks/leggings which would make the skirt mid thigh, which is a mini skirt. granted not a daring one, but it is what it is.
>>83624440
It's not too late to sketch a mini American flag poking out from her cleavage.
>>83624491
I feel like that would be the wrong move. If Trump is defeated in the general election but taken out behind closed doors then the sentiment behind his backers will remain, ready to resurface in the next election.
You have the opportunity to punch Becky or Carla in the face, hard as you can, consequence free
Who do you choose?
>>83624577
Becky, of course.
>>83624577
Carla
Becky's a headache but Carla needs to be taught a lesson.
>>83622792
Wait who are these people
>>83624673
Yeah, but my point is they wouldn't be stopping him, just postponing his movement temporarily.
>>83624577
Carla.
Becky is obnoxious but she means well. Carla is an asshole, simple as that.
>>83624705
That's fine, it gives them at least two years to work something out or something else to take voters attention. Best case scenario for them is the Republicans take the White House and the economy improves. A lot of people stop caring about economic reforms and immigration when they're not worrying about money.
>>83624577
Neither, I attempt to breed them.
>>83624941
Carla can't be bred
Though it would be nice to see him forcefully subjected to the attempt.
>>83622835
Subtle and Walky have not been on familiar terms for quite some time
>>83624128
>>83624498
There, that's better.
>>83625008

>>83625053
>>83625053
I love you and if we ever meet in person I will gladly throw small sums of money at you.
>>83625060
I'm actually curious of how that'd go.
Is a tranny "acceptable" for Becky? What is Carla into?
>>83625100
Carla is, IIRC, asexual according to Willis. I'd imagine that a pre-op transsexual would be a no-go for Becky.
>>83625177
what a fucking bigot
>>83625100
Have you ever read kimcest of drivers?
I imagine something similar
>>83625200

>>83625177
All I remember about Shortpacked is Carla had mickey mouse extendo hands that came out of her stomach and she finger fucked Maya 10 feet in air above her.
>>83625238
Yeah, but I think that she did that for Maya's sake rather than any personal interest in doing so.
>>83625238
Doa Carla is not a robot tho
Also I don't know why but that scene was kinda disgusting for me
>>83624705
Nobody will ever stop his movement. Because it's all memes and memes never die.
>>83625293
It was disgusting because one, it was at a fucking toy store during work hours out on the sales floor
and two, she pulls out a umbrella so cunny juice doesn't fall on her

Oh god, we're going off on another tangent story.
What the fuck is willis doing.
>>83628480
After months of complaints about the unrealistic portrayal of current college students, he's taking on the delicate task of political satire in this, a fraught election season. We will be pleased, delighted, no, EDIFIED for his experiences. :^ )
So, if Robin is supposed to be Trump, does that mean she's;
>Gonna lose this election to the obviously named Antagonist Manley (because you know. His name is literally Man, and all men are evil, sexist assholes)?
>Gonna win and make District Nine Great Again?
>Have a sudden and inexplicable change of heart about her political party, change sides, and still someone win the election with 100% approval rate?
>>83628906
>Still somehow win.
You knew what I meant.
>>83624941
FYI Trump won the nomination for a reason: people voted for him.
If the republicans oust him at the convention that's them signing their death warrant right their. Trump will just run as an independent and humiliate the republicans.
>>83628721
I can't wait to see Willis' vision for the future of America, as revealed through the lens of this OCD slice of life webcomic.
>>83628943
Is that any worse than Trump winning the nomination in the first place? He pretty much made a joke of the whole party, especially the leadership.
>>83622792
>Trump joke.
You gotta be kidding me.
>>83625601
>>83625238
It was also a convenient way to keep his "sex positive" angle he was working at that time while getting his robo-tentacle groove on.
And from there, he'd go on to do other 'sex-positive' porn for pay.
>>83628943
After 12 years of long game, including new 18 year old voters raised since birth on Fox News, the GOP engineered their ultimate candidate and realized what they wanted wasn't what they needed.
Notice how so much GOP's criticism of Trump is basically "Dude, we don't say this stuff *out loud*"
>>83622792

This bit might of worked if the joke was "these interns are doing it for free since they believe the congresswoman's bullshit and don't know better" and had better timing. Maybe only three panels?
>>83630546
>these interns are doing it for free
heh
>>83622792
This has to be the most hamfisted political reference I have ever seen.

Amazing, no?
It's been six years in real-time and only one month has passed in Walkyverse time.
We've done the math, and your grandchildren could go off to college in the time it will take for Willis to finish the freshman year of DoA.
Oh god, could you imagine a 70-something Willis still working on DoA? The art would probably be as bad as Marmaduke.

Thanks! But yeah, I'm not taking this comic TOO seriously, I just want to make a better college comic than Willis. I do care about it though don't get me wrong.
Basically I just want to make it more endearing with more sympathetic and likeable characters, also more fun and funny, that's top priority.
>>83634537

It's a little foggy to me now, but, Mike beat the shit out of Joe, Joyce encoraged him to do that too.

Joe was staring at the waitresses breasts and so Mike beat him up. Joe, very realistically, left because Joyce is a crazy person.

In general though, I found her obnoxious, but lord, I had no idea how much worse things would get once the red parasite showed up.

Becky just needs a bucket jammed on her head every time she talks about how much of a lesbian she is; I would refer to this device as The Becky Bucket, or "Becket" for short.I would have two, just in case - one would be called "Sam", the other "Thomas"

Not that anon, but it seems like Willis works on addiction and gambling models.
If you like to read books, think about this: have you ever been reading and you can't put the book down? You keep telling yourself "just one more chapter"? This is done by delaying rewards. You see a scheme go into action but switch to different characters before you find out if it works. Cliffhangers work on this principle. The same goes for T.V., of course, but with episodes instead of chapters.
Gambling works on the principle of occasional rewards. If you're playing on a slots machine, then you're going to notice that you're not winning every often. So why do people do it? The machine allows them to win juuuuust often enough for them to want to keep playing, just in case they strike it big on the next round.
You can also see this with crane-game machines. The tension in the claw varies depending upon the algorithm determined by the owner of the arcade. Some places will give better chances after 10 losses, while others will be less often. You are always made to feel like you have a chance.
There are occasional rewarding strips in the Walkyverse. However, they have come by far less often in recent years. It's easy to spend a long time being a fan of something if they occasionally produce something you enjoy. The only reason I was able to step away from it is that it went too long without a strip that felt rewarding for me.
If you follow webcomics, then there's always that one where you really want it to update more often, but it just plain doesn't. And eventually, you just stop checking.
>>83640885IW! was good dammit. f-fuck you, clown.
>>83642720
It doesn't really work on either model. Addiction model would imply a need for progressively greater rewards while a gambling model would imply a set chance of a good strip. It's more about the psychology of familiarity and the alignment of personal opinions.
>>83632447
That's exactly what the media wants you to think
>>83634257
Isnt the setting of the comic still, like 2010?
>>83644750
It uses a sliding timescale, it's always ambiguously the present day.
>>83632447
>possibly Putin's puppet
Not really though? I think Trump is just the only candidate to recognize that Russia's return to superpower status is inevitable and a huge waste of resources in trying to prevent. Instead of fighting to preserve the monopolar distribution of power that we had, he's working towards a more stable biopolar distribution of power- Russia can also be a superpower, and possibly even a rival, but we're not constantly worried about engaging in nuclear warfare for the sake of world domination. Really, Trump is taking the more sane stance of fighting a battle that we CAN win- preventing Saudi Arabia from becoming a superpower via the spread of Wahabbism. The reason we don't already fight that battle is that we're financially intertwined with the Saudis, plus their rise to power puts a dent in Russia's rise to power.
>>83634774
That makes no sense. By their very definition Cyborgs ARE people
>>83634840
None. If Willis is after anyone's cock, it's Obama's.

So, what you're saying is...Eliminating the middle east will fix up the world?
I can get behind this.
>>83645728
Once you reach the Kusanagi threshold it becomes a little muddier.
>>83644000
Right, it almost worked for a while. Shortpacked!, for example, was occasionally funny. Willis is capable of fulfilling these models, but he's stopped making the strips worth it, so it's easier to quit reading now than it was before.
>>83640885
You tell me.
>>83645808
Not eliminating per se, but rather containing and marginalizing. It's better that the middle east be another theater for the rivalry between east and west rather than a third superpower run by the people who were complicit in the 9/11 attacks and the rise of ISIS.
>>83645869
I used to like Shortpacked, and generally just skipped the conflict with the customers. But it reached this point where suddenly every single strip felt like Willis needing to take potshots at people he didn't like and that's when I had to jump ship.
>>83645869
Willis' worth is as an object lesson for writing exercises. Shitposting and personal attacks aside, in these threads we sit down and communally critique his work from multiple lit-crit paradigms. Part of me feels bad, or at least a little sad, for Willis; he's shown a knack for setup and character building but doesn't have the skills to push it into something good. Part of me wants him to check his pride and take a step back to really examine his work and identify his flaws so he can address them. Take some writing courses, get a co-writer, get a good, firm editor, just something to help him improve.
Another part of me wants to see if we can push him into having a stress-induced seizure.
>>83646457
>Not eliminating per se
>third superpower run by the people who were complicit in the 9/11 attacks and the rise of ISIS.
No, that sounds like a good reason to eliminate them.

On one hand, it being huge would be consistent with her being the most well off person in the strip. However, it being small and her being bothered by that would be justification for why she feels she has to get up in everyone's face, annoy them and constantly wear skates so she can physically loom over them.Huge, tho.
>>83647169
She'd be the reverse, bothered by its size because it stands opposite of what she tries to present to the world.
>>83637275
Anon, I'm already entranced with the mystery of Batista's dick, I don't need to start worrying about Carla's as well.
>>83646554
Yeah, I work as an editor and writer, so the more work I do, the more flaws I see in his work, and it makes it hard to read when I know many, many people who can write so much better and still aren't making the big bucks that he is. It's depressing.
>>83647169
So where is it when she's wearing tiny shorts like that?
>>83647909
Watch Ace Ventura.
>>83647169
OK, if Walky and Sal are half nigga how is their hair naturally straight
I always assumed they were some kind of latino
>>83648080
It's not. They straighten it.
>>83647950
Literally the exact situation I was envisioning.Except with Bra Girl instead of Einhorn/Finkle
>>83648080
>OK, if Walky and Sal are half nigga how is their hair naturally straight
They're 1/4 black, Walky's hair is straight naturally, Sal straightens it. Walky's hair is more curly when short.
>>83633713
Most of us will be dead of old age before you improve
>>83648136
>Walky's hair is more curly when short.
I've been reading this shit for over a decade and all I can remember is "mop" but I'm sure I'm wrong here
>>83648080
>>83648111
Sal straightens hers, despite being angry at her parents about them liking how her hair looks straight better than when its curly, and Walky supposedly has naturally straight hair. Keep in mind that Walky's hair isn't long enough to show curls unless he had tight curls.
>>83646554
>he's shown a knack for setup and character building but doesn't have the skills to push it into something good
Many webcomics creators sincerely believe throwing together characters who'll clash with each other is sufficient story material.
Planning and writing story arcs is WORK and it's more fun to just have characters being bitchy to each other, especially since the average reader will easily settle for this (at first).
You don't have to have a fixed ending in sight for your webcomic but you should have a clear idea of where the story arcs are going and stick to them.

The strip in question.
>>83638845
>>83648245
Walky's hair POOFed when he saw he got a bad grade in class. I tried to find it, but I lost my concept of time. But it's happened the one time.
![2015-01-13-congrats[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/1HpSRJY.png "2015-01-13-congrats[1].png")
>>83648439
I got you, famiglia. While I'm fine with the Sal one, this one bugs me, cause his hair is not like that naturally.
>>83648524
Almost like their hair gets more or less ethnic depending on what grades they get?
>>83646457
It got extra weird in some strips, where unless who were neck deep in Transformers fandom, the reader wouldn't know what the joke was about and who he was mocking.
>>83648610
As society dictates
>>83645819
>>83645728
There's also the more subtle bio-engineering aspects to either tinker with yourself, or make an awesome person from scratch.
It's a bit more trite when they're just raging against someone with a robot arm and 'her kind'. Until she lost her arm in an accident a few months prior, they were both the same kind.
>>83648642
I was at one point, but when Furman left IDW, I lost interest. Simon Furman is my favorite TF writer and probably the man I associate the most with TF. I'm guessing Willis probably has some sort of grudge against him though.>tfw Death's Head will be permanently trapped in forgotten character hell due to Marvel owning the rights and doing jack shit with them
>>83648524
>I was hopin' you were dumb so there'd be somethin' wrong with you
Becky is a piece of shit, holy fuck.
>>83648610
Yeah, with Sal you could just treat it as her hair losing her treatment. Just a kinda ethnic spin on the classic frizzy hair. Fine as a one off, and a decent excuse to go into Sal's hair and how it relates to her identity. But 2 points make a line, and now it's this trend of "do bad in school => get more ethnically black* hair." Also, in this case it was just a one strip callback with no real follow up to it.
*Or however the right way to phrase that is.
>>83649331
I think the joke is supposed to be that Walky saw his grades and got so upset that his hair conditioner gave out, but yeah, that's an unfortunate little mistake.
It would have been so much easier for them just to be hispanic, god damn.
>>83649614
The worse Walky's grades become, the blacker he seems.
>>83649614
But then we wouldn't have delightful storylines and character arcs about how being a criminal makes someone blacker and that interracial parents are racist toward their violent daughter!
>>83633713
stop being such an attention whore
Requesting this image be remade but with Becky
>>83622695
>DUDE BRO LOL
>>83648610
>>83649331
>>83649614
>>83650278
Some people brought this to Willis' attention in the comments, and he was all "Nuh-uh it's just a humorous call-back"
>>83623272
That's half the reason I started supporting him. Then I actually started paying attention to what he was saying and his policies.Then I REALLY started supporting him.
>>83649331
>>83649614
>classic hair frazzle joke
>hmm black = frazzled hair
>hmmm maybe this is racist and blacker = dumber
goddamnit, /pol/
When is that shit with the church happening?
I want to see how obnoxious it's going to get.
>>83655064
1-2 months
still no patreanon. tomorrow's strip must not be that exciting
>>83648897
Hey, this came out five years ago! Sure, it came out in a country notorious for not scanning its comics... but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?
>>83630509
>>83647169
how does carla have friends at all
how can anyone stand hanging out with her
>>83654459
Not really though, right?
The man is such a carnival barker I don't understand how anyone who pays any attention to politics could support him unironically. He's a huckster selling good tummy feels in place of solutions.
Obviously Hillary isn't any better, where Trump is a cartoon character Hillary is the real, sinister kind of evil, the woman is a fucking snake in human skin.
Frankly the entire state of American politics makes me weep for humanity, if I were American myself I wouldn't know where to turn.
>>83628943
>If the republicans oust him at the convention that's them signing their death warrant right their
The Republican party is dead anyway, it cannot continue the way it has, a split is inevitable at this point.
>>83634774
If we have the technology to build cyborgs then why wouldn't companies just build robots to do all the shit that cyborgs could do?
Why would they want cyborgs who need to be paid when robots will work for free?
>>83648524
>He gets a bad grade
>Instantly manifests the David Willus code sign for "Being black"
Haw haw haw
>>83624233
>>83624178
>Also keep in mind this is supposed to be 2010, according to DoA. This kind of cements that it uses QC's rule of time where it's simultaneously Current Year and 2010.
>It's not. DOA operates on a sliding timeline. It's Fall 2015 or Fall 2016 right now.
Wait. Doesn't Funky Winkerbean have their own weird time thing going on too where it's either current year or 10 years in the future?
>>83656893
IIRC, Funky Winkerbean is present day, with all the characters old and defeated by life, but Crankshaft is 10-15 years in the past, where the evil old monsters of that era still roam the Earth.
I miss Mike. It's like he got wiped off the face of the Dumbingverse.
>>83656841
robots are bad at identifying when something has gone wrong
>>83658149
You can get away with hiring a single human supervisor for every dozen robot workers.
Cyborgs ruining the job market is not a scenario that makes sense.
We have decent-ish industrial robots right now in the real world, the idea that perfected cybernetics would be developed before perfected robot worker drones is farcical.
>>83658192
I know one industry that perfect cyborgs would completely take over.
>>83656576
I hung out with a couple real pieces of shit in high school because they were "funny," but I cannot imagine anyone putting up with Carla's constant needless dickery for any reason past age 17.
She has literally no redeeming characteristics. I've never seen her be nice. To anyone. In the entire strip. Why does anyone ever invite her to come out with her?
>>83658061
The hugbox couldn't handle Mike calling other characters on the bullshit falling our of their mouths every panel. He had to be shelved.
>>83658061
Mike was The Asshole, and now half the cast are quippy assholes by default and Carla is ESPECIALLY an asshole. But I guess because she's trans it's a defiant, Pride-style "HERE I AM! FUCK YOU ALL!" assholery, which apparently makes everyone ignore how fucking annoying she is.
Mike has no purpose anymore.
>>83661042
She's loaded. "Throw your name around because it means something," rich.
>>83657116
The cast of the Funkverse slipped out of the timestream in 2007, and spent ten years altering reality and growing older before returning to 2007 and carrying on as normal.
None of them became any happier.
>>83661724
Man, that episode was good. Then again, it was the first episode I watched, so I'm probably just nostalgicI loved how they had Lister try to explain how it was all retconned in the season after that, and the camera he was recording it on broke because it made no damn sense.
>>83659465
I doubt a cyborg would really be any better at designing video games than a regular person.
>>83661190
>Mike was Willis' Superego and ability to find his own beliefs ridiculous
>Now he's gone, all that is left is the Id of Becky
>>83663297
What would that make Carla?
>>83664931
The personification of Willis's shitty faggoty behavior.
>>83665002
Wouldn't that be Ruth?
>>83665336
What I'm trying to say is Willis is an obnoxious retard who probably wishes he was a girl.
>>83665414
I don't know about wishing he was a girl, but I'd put money on him having body image issues.
>>83665596
I think he wishes he was a minority because of all of his internalized guilt.
>>83665414
>>83665596
>>83666582
His ideal situation appears to be eternally an 18 year old co-ed with his current wry but 'enlightened' mind.
It would explain his current format for DoA being forever freshman year, and Joyce becoming wry and snarky like 90% of the cast.
>>83666786
I've been reading too much jojo because I misread every wry.
>>83665414
How long until he cuts off his dick with a hot knife, I wonder?
>>83662842
>watching the last good episode first
Well, at least you didn't watch a later episode first, I guess.
>>83667261
>Mary introduces Joyce to Jojo only for Joyce to become an insufferable Jojofag
>>83668699
And then she gets a custom "JESUS IS MY STAND" shirt.
>>83668841
Would he be stronger then GER ?
>>83668841
I bet Part 7 will be her favorite part.
>>83655060
Willis is one of those assholes who really loves to look too deeply into things. if he doesn't us to do the same to his shit, he needs to think more before he allows his racist tendencies to appear in his comic
>>83655060
Willis used Sal's dad's comment on how "her hair looks nicer straight" as EXPLICIT RACISM
>>83670484
no see you're actually the racist for noticing because shut up
>>83671494
cause black women never straighten their hair in Willis' world?
>>83671580
They do,but it's because of their internalized racism.
>>83671635
is that also why the blatantly racist comment is said by the black parent?
>>83671657
Remember the Prime Directive
"David Willis is a retard"
