In case you missed it, Joyce gets teeth bearing angry at Becky wearing a dress.

Also, Becky looks ugly in a dress almost like she looks ugly in everything because she is a guttersnipe

Of course it fucking is.
I don't get the last panel at all. Getting superglue on her dress to have an excuse to change it, then? That doesn't mean shit unless you carry glue and spare clothes everywhere. It's a complete non sequitur.
Is she then implying that she got glue in her hair to have an excuse to cut it short, because she wasn't allowed to have short hair? That also doesn't make sense since just about everybody else in this comic has short hair, including the religious Brown family.

On a side note about hair, Willis should go back to his old shading. The shine he does makes them look like Lego hairpieces.

The point is that Becky has a goofy bulldyke haircut which is generally frowned upon in religious communities.

Some notes.

1. Even the text on the phone is in all caps because Willis is too lazy to make things look like what we're accustomed to seeing.

2. Carla's hat is stupid.

3. The last panel is just the first panel with the layers slightly moved.

4. Carla is a terrible excuse for a human being, and I hope Ruth doesn't end up in the hospital because Carla is too lazy and insufferable to actually take the time to worry about someone else, especially someone like Ruthless who genuinely needs someone to help her. Screw you, Carla. If you're so oppressed as a trans person, then you know what it's like to be utterly depressed, and that means you know how Ruth feels like right now. You piece of crap.

>>83806621
>>83806564
>'oh yeah she was a bisexual all along it just never came up'

Pretty sure the same thing applies here. I think he's actively avoided explicitly stating sexualities specifically so he can manipulate them and say it's been that way the whole time.

Only a few people have made references to their preferences, and even then, they're not particularly specific. Even the straightest characters have little crushes on people of the same gender.

I would just assume, because Willis is Willis, everyone is bi. Even Becky. Just because no one wants to be a lesbian THAT badly.

Pretty cheap to just gloss over Becky's interaction with Carol about the dress and only show the aftermath. Becky's whole character is being a rebellious lesbian, but we skip that part just to have Joyce's reaction.

I don't get why you post this comic in every Willis thread. I'm guessing it's a parody or something? Other than everyone being at college, I'm not sure though. I'm not saying it's a bad strip, by any stretch, but can I get some context (or better yet, an archive)?

Lots of comics get posted in DoA threads - Funky Winkerbean, Cerebus... basically anything that encourages people to get out of these threads and read something better than DoA (think of it as a community service).

Willis did a randomly selected April Fool's swap with David Gonterman one year. If nothing else, it proved he isn't even the worst cartoonist named David. All these years later and he still is more coherent than Gonterman.

>>83799762
So, as someone who has no exposure to this comic outside of stumbling ass first into these fucking god awful threads...

It seems like maybe 90%-95% of the cast of this is gay, trans, or both. Is that actually the case? Is this comic written in such a hugboxy world that the author has convinced himself that this minority actually manages to outnumber the straight cis population?

No, it's the opposite of that. He was cultured on communion wafers and soundproof foams to keep the Jesus Preaching inside him, and now is so embittered by how his parents raised him, and so desperate to be accepted, that he is directly creating a comic for the very specific niche of tumblr/the internet that wants that kind of faux-accepting LGBT+, anti-racist hug box which is actually just as homophobic and racist but in new and shittier ways, just so that he can feel vindicated in being in complete and total ideological opposition to his parents.

We should talk to the QC guys about creating Bad Webcomics General. Also, I don't really think it's fair to call Cerberus bad (unless you're referring to the DoA commentator), it's actually pretty fascinating when you look at it through the lens of Dave Sims's battle with schizophrenia.

Believe me, they were the bane of my LGBT friends' existences. Almost all of them were populated by wealthy suburbanites that had taken a handful of courses on the topic and were basically just utilizing it to degrade and belittle people in new and more intricate manners.

There are a lot of LGBT groups and ethnic celebration clubs that are 100% great people who are there to challenge you as much as support you, but those hugboxes were just breeding grounds for the most unbearable kinds of people.

Hank expressed that he thinks that Becky's dad is an asshole and has wanted to punch him in the face before. He probably has different values than him. Maybe he thinks that looking ridiculous is the consequence of getting glue in your hair, so she gets glue in it so that she can have a one-side cut.

Joyce's parents believe that Becky is a bad influence on Joyce. If Joyce acts up, they might completely cut off contact, which means that Becky loses a huge part of her surrogate family here, which could also have financial consequences (not good for a homeless person.) Joyce doesn't want to argue on Becky's behalf and risk that happening unless Becky wants her to.

You're stupid.

When the Browns raised their children, they thought that traditional gender roles were very important. Additionally, it is a common stereotype that lesbians are usually masculine.
Carol is making Becky wear a dress because Becky's sexual orientation defies traditional gender roles, and making her adhere to those makes her more bearable, or even changes her, in Carol's eyes (notice how she's not wearing a dress, and probably won't make Joyce wear one.) Whatever her intent, Becky doesn't want to wear the dress (which people can do without having a particular reason) and Carol is trying to hide or change Becky's sexuality instead of accept and love her, which understandably pisses off Joyce.

straight, straight, straight
bi, straight, bi
straight, gay, straight
asexual?, VERY gay, gay tendencies but might like dudes
straight, pansexual, straight
asexual (and trans), straight, gay tendencies

There are also a bunch of background/recurring characters who are not straight.

Yeah, you aren't allowed to say that Carla was being a disruptive jerk. If you say that she was also in the wrong, then it's because you're totally transphobic.

Carla explicitly states that she wants to be a jerk since everyone else is. But you dare not speak against her as a reader.

They focus on the fact that Mary said something vaguely transphobic, which leads to "the ends doesn't justify the means" BS and completely distracts from the issue of Carla being a turd.

Ruth's funk is because she's an alcoholic going through withdrawal and she was fucking one of her floormates. Because she was a shitty person who didn't do her job at all and it exploded in her face, this is somehow Carla's fault?

I hate Carla, for the record. I think she's a spoiled brat who is only liked because she chopped her cock off. She is a poor representation of Trans people in any respect, as another anon said, she's the Bruce Jenner of this world.

"Anyway, I say fuck that. I will write about the smaller race things because they are more important to confront. Everyone fucking agrees you shouldn’t burn crosses or use the N-word. Where’s the courage in that? It points outward, towards cartoonish villains, instead of inward, where problems still need to be solved."

He's already been changing her from an asocial, world-weary cynic to a sperg. I wouldn't want him to change her either, she's one of the most realistic and well-rounded characters in the strip. Plus I love her interactions with Dina.

Well, you should definitely at least try to have even a semblance of understanding of the topic, at least.

A parent doesn't force somebody else's child to wear an old-looking dress that belongs to them because it "looks good". Also. this is written by Willis. Don't mistake your incompetence for somebody else's.

That's not what's happening here. Also, again, this is written by Willis. A cigar is never just a cigar with this guy. Also remember that the first words Carol said to Becky in this arc were "Are you sure that you're a lesbian and is it worth your father being in prison". Not to mention this entire arc has a huge amount to do with homophobia and religious bigots, and Willis very rarely puts something in that has no purpose. It's like you're really trying hard to miss the point.

Freud didn't say that. That is the complete opposite of what Freud believed.

And yes, there are a ton of reasons why she would put Becky in a dress. Since Becky has no sense of what is appropriate and what is not, Joyce's mom probably just went for the most inoffensive thing she could find that fit her.

I would prefer if Carla were an actual dragon. She would keep to herself, and it would explain her terrible behavior.

My dream is that Willis is pushed over the edge even further than Jaques to the point he actually starts doing things like this and leaves the whole universe in a flaming, incoherent wreckage.

Robin DeSanto fills the toy store with a new diverse work staff that causes the universe to start to collapse. Through the crack in the dimension, soggies from the old Capn Crunch commercials invade along with another universes Dina who never died.

It ends with everyone still working at the store standing up against the Soggies and it implies they spend the rest of there days as a rebel group against the new, soggy cereal based overlords.

The END

Shortpacked strips are pretty par-for-the-course for webcomics. They're mildly charming, without any of the overdramatic bullshit that goes on in DoA. He should have stuck with something he knows about like toys, rather than lesbians and college.

Carla is rich enough that she's never had to deal with any kind of consequences for her abhorrent behavior, so she behaves like the total narcissist that she is.

It's funny because the issue Christ would probably care about the most is the Evangelicals' worship of Netanyahu and the Likud party.
