still marathoning this, holy fuck is this comic bad.
>>84116914
>willis made a parody of fucking psalty
WHY.
>>84116920
>ultra car and malaya
oh boy.
>>84116989
SEX TOYS LOL
oh my fucking god, willis, REALLY?
...
>>84117071
Dude, it's Willis.
I don't know why you're surprised that a fella who literally shoots crap and vomit all over himself when he's overstimulated, and who actually had that exact fear regarding masturbation, would be as embarrassing as possible under every circumstance and about every topic.
>>84117344
It's kinda creepy to think that a guy like Willis is making comics about teenage girls jacking off
where the fuck did this come from?
oh boy, two alcoholics enabling each other!
>>84117404
Remember that the girl who gets physically assaulted-- and if it had been a dude perpetrating the crime, you damn well know it'd be referred to as a sexual assault-- is the villain here!
>>84117398
Dude, Willis' entire fucking existence is a goddamn horror show. *And he has children.*
>>84117344
I dated a girl who came from the exact sort of lifestyle that DW did, and had the exact sort of guilt about the idea of masturbating. She still humped herself off with her bed every so often. She just felt awful about it afterwards.
gotta say, willis was decent at hinting at her being trans.
the alcoholics that drink together die of alcohol poisoning together.
what a good little christian.
>>84117592
he's okay at hinting at it, but he's awful at showing little hints through his art. Everyone apparently knows Carla is trans, even Mary, but she's drawn like every other female in the comic.
And Carla is trans Becky, she doesn't go around spouting "Guess what? I have a dick but identify as a lady!" So how did the whole campus find out?
>>84117801
She's probably meant to be not passable, but accurately portraying a monster awash in the wrong hormones would offend his readership.
Like always.
..huh.
who talks like this?
>>84117906
>>84118078
I liked this hairstyle better.
Why is Mary the only half-decent person in this entire fucking comic? Is Willis' goal to write a comic about a bunch of fuckhead degenerates?
>>84117906
Kek.
>>84118128
sarah is real, at least.
From last night.
>>84117071
>>84117344
This part would be the explicitly auto-biographical part. Especially the "My grandma in heaven is watching" bit.
Also, Vee-vee. Is Joyce five years old?
>>84117442
His existence also seems engineered to establish as much Internet Cred as possible. He got a girlfriend/wife to show that he Understands Women, and now has a kids to confirm that he is Officially an Adult, and has become a cool nerd dad.
And of course, discussing all the social, gender, and political hot button issues online.
>>84118117
Meh, I will give Becky's new hairstyle one thing, It's not just...Short Joyce. If this comic was in black and white the only way to tell them apart would be the hair length, eyes and the freckles.
such healthy relationships.
>tfw I'm a leafs fan
>>84118540
See. The biggest issue with DOA is stuff like this. You can say "oh that's not a healthy relationship" but I honestly wouldn't have even thought that if the comic didn't try to take such a moral high road all the time. I'd just be like "Boy I sure do like lesbians violently ragefucking"
again with drama out of nowhere. what the fuck?
why is fucking everyone gay?
>>84118938
Willis likes gay people. a LOT. Which I normally wouldn't have an issue with, considering I like lesbians. Again, it's the politics that he kinda gradually hamfisted into his comic made it obnoxious.
>>84119033
I'm a mixed-race bisexual whose best friends are a closeted bi dude(and my ex), a trans woman, and an asexual ex girlfriend who's into girls.
I'm fine with lesbians, but holy fuck, 80% of this cast is gay.
so she's on the spectrum?
>>84119060
Going off the tags there's 21 straight cis
And 14 not.
So just a little under 50 percent, but I'm also counting a lot of minor characters and villains in this. Also I just assume Malaya and Robin are gay in this universe.
oh boy, I've heard about this arc.
>>84119236
God. Toe dad is drawn so awkwardly. Like he just looks uncomfortable existing.
>>84119103
>In which Amber has been wearing the Amazi-Girl mask all night.
So has anyone in the DoA message board pointed out yet that Amber's gone of the deep end and submerged herself into her Amazi-Girl persona. Or are they trumpeting her for being Strong and Independent, to avoid insulting the Willis?
>>84119270
at least willis is self aware.
>>84117062
>>84117071
I miss well-adjusted Sarah. It's a bummer she'll never get to have a sensible fug.
>>84117071
Rememer when he made a shortpacked comic making fun of people who didnt understand what the snaller part of the dildo was for?
>>84119287
Lot's of people don't like her or how she interacts with others, a lot of other people think she gets to fuck with everyone and have everyone still love her because she has a mental disorder. I think she should be committed or at least enter therapy and then Ethan and Danny should fug.
>>84119236
EVILoutionist!
Checkmate athiests
oh boy, ALCOHOLISM!
>>84119354
It's way more annoying now that I look at how poorly drawn that thing is. Not only does the stimulator not really look like actual ones, the toy is also way longer at the base than where it penetrates, which isn't what most vibrators look like.
>>84119358
When did being mentally ill even become like...an oppression thing. No offense, but if you're a literal crazed bipolar person who puts themselves and others in danger, I think you need to just get help, because you're a dangerous and unpredictable person.
Stop trying to make it like being gay or black or something. Get some help or get away from me, because that's fucking scary.
>>84116914
I'm not usually one of those types of people, but
>that shirt
>that level of cleavage
>asian
My dick. Christ, what's wrong with me. It's just the idea.
>>84117236
hahahaha, that giveaway
>>84119358
If her friends cared about her at all they'd be encouraging her to get the help she clearly needs. Instead they are willfully blind or dancing around the issue because they don't want to cause"offence".
Maybe that'll be the point of the story, I guess will find out in another 5 years or so
>>84119236
I want to experience the various bases with Dina.
>>84117801
>she's drawn like every other female in the comic.
That doesn't make him noticeably different from any other male in the comic, save for Chad or Tyrone.
He's quite a bit taller and broader than most of the girls, which becomes apparent when he's throwing his weight around against mary
>>84117592
>roller derby team
>won't mind a man joining
>>84119489
Billie is kinda meant to be the hot one (other than Sal)and her slipshine is admittedly one of the better ones.
>>84119564
Liberalism in $The_Current_Year is all about enabling and embracing your self-destructive delusions. Just look at Carl (or you know, don't)
>>84119489
>>84119656
>Billie is kinda meant to be the hot one
She's meant to be hot, but was unable to get any action on campus cause she's kinda fat (and because of Danny). My immersion is completely broken.
does willis have crazy parent problems? I thought he was just a super rebel.
>>84117821
Carla's family is flush with cash. I just assumed Carla got the best transition that money can buy and the only reason everyone knows is because Carla's been around for a year already and there was probably a bit of controversy over it.
>>84119422
Can someone please explain how this happened?
I remember Ruth being a relentless sadist bully towards Billie, how did it end in lesbians?
>>84119703
they kinda sorta bonded over billy being an alcoholic and ruth also being an alcoholic. then billy found ruth almost drinking herself to death.
>>84119674
>does willis have crazy parent problems
That's like his whole thing, he resent his parents for raising him like a christian and not telling him that the world was a big place. When he went to college he was devastated to realize his view of the world was flawed and he still resent his parents to this dayso in this comic parents = bad and christians = bad
>>84119732
Wow
that's terrible.
>>84119674
Willis' parents, from his stories, are super fundie, religious, and probably a bit racist, homophobic, etc. They're your run of the mill conservative parents, but once Willis became incredibly liberal and got to a point where he could no longer see eye to eye with them, he opted to cut them out of his life.
I feel like he vicariously latches onto people with WORSE stories of parents and internalizes them, because I feel he subconsciously wishes he was more marginalized so that he can feel like he's on the "Right" side of things. He's the kinda guy who feels ashamed to be straight, cis and white. Like his own version of internalized racism.
>>84119771
>super fundie, religious, and probably a bit racist, homophobic
oh no. how terrible.I'm not normally the type to say shit like this, but goddamn, fuck privileged white boys.
>>84119743
Gotta love people so blinded by their own bigotry they think they're progressive.
>>84119661
To be fair Carla is getting treatment, you may think it's the wrong treatment but that's not the same as ignoring the problem and hoping it will go away
amazing dialogue there, willis.
way to give toe dad some depth and maybe show some conflict for becky.
>>84118207
Ass-chart needed, baby! WOOO!
>>84119959
...goddamnit, and then this actually well-constructed page only a couple pages later.
why can't willis be consistently bad?
>>84119927
Honestly my big issue with the whole mental illness thing is it's the exact kind of stupid leap that people said people would make
"Make gay marriage legal, and suddenly marrying dogs will be legal"
"Allow people to be trans and suddenly people will be allowed to be dangerous psychopaths without treatment"
Like admit a problem is a problem and don't coddle it. Find a way to fix it the best you can and if you can't get them normal, then limit their interaction with people who are.
>>84119995
if the rest of DoA was like this I'd actually have more respect for it.
>>84120011
well-constructed panels, actual conflict, good dialogue...
and right back to the hack conflicts.
>>84119303
So THAT'S why he's called Toedad.
>>84119674
>>84120011
Y'know, coming from Louisiana, "Bless his soul, but..." translates to "Fuck that nigger, but..."
And in that context, her mom doesn't sound unreasonable at all. More importantly, the dumb bitch would know it meant that.
>>84120175
she still made comments in defense of toedad despite cussing him out. I get joyce's anger.
>>84120000
My experience with mental illness is that normal isn't really an option. But it is possible to manage it in a way that at least keeps you functional.
The problem is ill informed narcissists who insist the slightest personality quirk has to be pathologised. It's hard to say how common that really is when the internet is such an echo chamber but I hear it enough that it bothers me
>>84120203
...So empathy is dead for folks who speak clumsily and care about their entire community, gotcha.
>>84120000
Gender identity disorder doesn't make people violent psychopaths, it doesn't necessarily make them trans either. A lot of things involving transfolk is perception bias and co-option.
>>84119995
I kinda wish he'd have explored Amber's reaction to the attention Amazi-Girl gets.Stripped of context it totally looks like Amber was waiting for everyone to leave so she could rip a massive fart.
>>84119674
I remember when this came out, fun thread.
>>84120276
when you literally just had a gun pointed at you and punched out a psycho who you thought was representative of you until recently?
empathy isn't going to be front and center in your mind.
>>84120296
>>84116914
This shit makes no sense.
WHO IS THINKING?
>>84120276
No offense, but if someone pulled a shotgun on me and my friend my mom would be like "What a piece of actual garbage, I hope he gets his ass kicked in prison"
so is the implication that being in love is helping ruth be less of a turbo-cunt?
>>84120296
>>84120318
Does anyone have the full Warboss Hamfist set?
>>84120343
>>84120314
"Fuck this nigger, but at least he THOUGHT he was doing the right thing.
I mean, put yourself in his shoes. He's worried about his daughter.
I would die for you, Joyce. I would die for you."
This coming from a person who ALMOST LOST THEIR FUCKING DAUGHTER.
If you don't see this as a statement of support and acknowledgement that people do unreasonable goddamn shit when their family is involved, then you are FUCKED in the head.
my god, he's MAKING AN EFFORT!
>>84120395
I don't know how many there are, but I've got 4
>>84120203
Mom is desperately trying reconcile the gun toting mad man on the news with her mental image of her friend and neighbours. It's a perfectly understandable reaction but not very helpful for Joyce
>>84120458
>>84120457
>>84120499
>>84120457
That's actually a really great strip. It reminds me of that edit some anon did of the argument between Joyce's brothers that make everyone look reasonable but wrong.
>>84120499
>leaving in the dinosaur roar
>not replacing it with WAAAAAAAGH!
Well, it made an effort.
>dad is reasonable
>mom is....this
yeah, nah.
>>84120437
turns out her mom is a cunt.
>>84116914
Didn't Danny basically imagine calling his girlfriend a nagging bitch?
>>84120508
>>84120563
I mean...
...not really?
Becky's an antagonistic bitch. Calling her out on it still doesn't seem that cunty. She might be doing it in a way that triggers liberals, but shit, I am increasingly fucking okay with that.
>>84120596
and her mom is antagonizing too.
>>84117236
>Guys it was Always obvious Carla was a Trans.
Fuck Willis. I hope he comes here everyday to see what a retard we think he is.
>>84117686
Wait, Mary sat on this bit of blackmail material for 2 years real-time?
>>84120617
Not really? She's asking why a homeless tramp is hiding out in her daughter's college dorms. That seems pretty relevant to her daughter's safety.
Dude, she has no obligation to like Becky. Frankly, the fact that she's civil enough to not just straight up tell the rude little attention whoring homeless faggot to fuck off out of her house and life speaks WONDERS for her character.
>>84120668
>>84120655
Mary knows it is not her place to call out or publicly admonish personal sins, much less make others suffer for her personal gain.
>>84120596
Her mom asks if Becky's sexuality, gay or no, is worth her guntoting, kidnapping, hi-speed car chasing father going to jail.
It's not like he's going to jail for hating gays. He's going to jail for being an actual maniac.
So why do you guys still read this? All you're doing is giving him more attention.
>>84119270
I'm not an artist or anything, but I'm pretty sure that your head and abdomen aren't supposed to be longer than your legs.
>>84120668
Becky is literally a long time family friend. She's not some girl Joyce has just met. Joyce has known Becky basically all her life. Your argument kind of treats Becky like some sort of stranger to Carol.
>>84120668
It's also fairly unreasonable for her to expect Becky to move into a house she doesn't own then immediate take over its mortgage, utilities, and upkeep.
>>84120596
Sure it's totally Becky's fault her dad decided to kidnap her. I'm sure there is no way a grown man could have just had a conversation with his adult daughter.
Crime and a high speed car chase was the only reasonable response possible
>>84120729
>So why do you guys still read this?
Because it's cursed. We have no choice in the matter.
>>84120750
>Long time family friends don't turn out to be utter pieces of shit.
Well I'm happy your life was sunshine, rainbows, and puppy dogs, anon.
>>84120752
Not really? There is no urgent need to pay for any of what you just listed, and state programs to pay ALL of that are usually a thing anyway. In fact, IRL, if she DIDN'T get on doing that crap, there's a good chance she'd lose the chance to.
>>84120126
>>84120782
You missed the part where it's not her house. Her dad can apply for all that, she doesn't get jack
>>84120825
No, I didn't *miss* that, it's just that that's simply not how applying for state benefits works in reality. I've done it. Everything is done based off of households, not individual fucking people.
>>84120837
And to qualify, this covers Medicaid, rent assistance, fucking food assistance... Pretty much everything short of unemployment insurance.
>>84120782
Becky doesn't have a legal claim to the house. It's her father's property. Him being in jail doesn't change that. No state program is going to pay her bills for her. She's at best got four weeks before the bills come due, zero job prospects outside of minimum wage, and that assumes that her Dad would let her live in the house to begin with.
>>84120837
Becky isn't the head of the household. She couldn't apply for any form of foreclosure relief as she doesn't own the house in question. She could apply for SNAP, EBT, TANF, Section 8, all that shit. However, considering she's a young, single woman with zero debts or dependents, she's unlikely to receive much in the way of benefits.
>>84120928
>young woman
>unlikely to receive benefits
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>84120947
Without kids, around $50 a month in food stamps.
>>84120782
>>Long time family friends don't turn out to be utter pieces of shit.
What has Becky even done to warrent that though? She hasn't changed at all, other than being gay. Becky was always a bit obnoxious and a bit gross. Now it's all just filtered through her newly realized homosexuality. There's little Carol has to say to Becky that she could have a problem with NOW that she didn't have a problem with 2 months ago without just saying "I don't like that you wanna bang girls now".
>>84120928
>>84120947
She's also white and well-spoken, which, from my experience, is what really will kill you in the application process.
>>84119270
>>84119959
>>84120145
>>84120203
I swear this dumb forced meme name was in the comments on the first strip, because Willis came to it before on tumblr or patreon or something. Don't use it, just call him Ross.
>>84120965
Just imagine it's Carol's psychotic grandbaby obsession filtered through a fear that Joyce will go full carpet muncher and she'll have to wait until Joyce is in her forties before Joyce starts adopting kids from the third-world.
>>84120965
Y'know, a drastic change in one part of a person's personality CAN in fact make you reevaluate every other aspect of that person's personality.
>>84120966
Not so much in mine. Mine was, "Oh, you're a homeless dude? Fuck you. You're a college aged woman? Hell yes. Here are additional pamphlets on educational resources. You're a minority? I just came."
I don't think there's enough of a trigger warning
>>84121133
I don't really know how suicide works. I mean, I've contemplated it MANY a time, never really attempted. Does just seeing it in a literary sense cause you to feel like doing it again? I don't quite understand it.Honestly, suicide is more unpleasant for the people around you rather than unpleasant for yourself anyway. If you die you will no longer be happy or unhappy. It's everyone AROUND you who'll be unhappy. That's why it's the coward's way out.
>>84121133
>Trigger Warning:Attempted Suicide
By whom, the reader?
>>84116920
I want to make 2.4 white, well behaved Christian children with Joyce.
>>84121218
That's probably who the trigger warning is for. People who lost a loved one through suicide.
It'd almost be thoughtful of Willis if it weren't for that stupid kitten part. How stupid does he think his readers are?
I like the dad.
>>84121011
>a fear that Joyce will go full carpet muncher
This is a legitimate fear in DoA.
>>84121292
>"She used to be so beautiful."
Oh fuck right off, no one, self included in that, takes remarks about my appearance as a fucking political statement. Maybe if dyke fashion wasn't ugly, dykes wouldn't get called fucking ugly! Fuck.
>>84120947
>I literally cannot respond to this in any way except for bluffing and hoping I don't get called on it
>>84121380
Okay, so I'll outright state that benefits fraud is piss easy even if you're not being directly helped in the process, and insinuating that yes, she would be helped in that process. Happy?
well, I'm all caught up.
goddamn, I thougth the storytelling in shortpacked was hamfisted.this is the patreon strip from last night's thread
>>84121133
God, that's so fucking stupid.
I get there being some kind of trigger warning. I really do. I spent several nights pressing a knife to my arm, had to call a hotline once, my wife's friend blew his own head off. Suicide sucks ass and it's hard to deal with and if an author wants to say "warning, there's gonna be some suicide shit here," that may reduce the narrative punch, but it's their prerogative.
It gets retarded when he throws in the kitten at the end. Like the people reading need a fucking hug, even though they were already prepared for the pain of seeing a suicide attempt and it's a fucking comic strip to begin with.
>>84121288
Yeah. That felt almost insultingly pandering. Like something you'd say if you're talking to a child.
Also my adult cynicism made me immediately think "Yes it will. That kitten will most certainly die. And unless I die young it will certainly die within my lifetime. As will it's children, and maybe even its children's children.
>>84121402
Joyce is so stupid. I just want to leave her apron-nude in the kitchen making me sammiches and bebes.
>>84116914
I'm always so confused about this comic. Weren't Joyce and Walky married at one point?
>>84121292
You're doing better than the commenters, then. When he expressed how disappointed he was in Joyce for lying to him and making him lie FOR her, a bunch of them basically said he was being cruel and showing his true colors, implicitly threatening Joyce and Becky.
>>84121402
>Panel 8
>Dad, that is bears.
>>84121402
Congratz on catching up anon. Now you really have a point of reference when we shit talk this comic. I, personally, wish Willis wasn't such a shit, because you could salvage some good stuff from this comic. But Willis is a really contrived, soapboxing, echo chamber butt munch and his comic will become increasingly more just a way to push his ideals rather than an actual story about teenagers.
>>84121445
That was an earlier series, with a different continuity.
>>84121458
Nah, see, liberals have convinced themselves that all of the -phobias that they've labelled their political opponents with exist and have 'em running scared.
>>84121449
That's because they're self absorbed feather people, who would crumble to pieces after being hit with a strong gust of wind.
>>84121445
different universes. willis can't create OCs to save his life.
>>84121449
I grew up in foster care, and some of my foster parents were legit abusive. I spent 3 years with a dutch couple who would force me to burn myself with matches, almost drown me in the tub, run laps for hours on end, and bind my hands together so I had to do things like an animal, all while spouting the word of the lord.
partially due to that, I'm no longer christian. that said, I don't bear any especially ill will to people who find happiness and meaning in religion, and when I see someone trying to be a good person, I'll credit them for it.also, holy shit fuck willis. "waah my parents didn't prepare me for the real world, so they and all parents are garbage!" Fuck you asshole, you don't know real religious nutcases.
>>84121473
that's why I was trying to point out actually good pages and character motivations, because yeah, there's a lot this comic could do.
but christ is willis a hack.
>>84121482
>makes a generalization of how liberals generalize people.
Politics in a nutshell, really.
>>84121540
Yep, this shit sure did happen.
>>84121481
>>84121540
Fucking seriously? So Willis Tenchi Muyo'd his series?

IIRC, Yokoyama Mitsuteru did the same thing, reusing the same character designs like he was casting the same actors in different rolls in each series.
>>84121618
>>84121763
Jason Shiga (Meanwhile, Demon) also mentioned that he used his character designs in this way.
Of Course, the main difference is that these people are much more competent authors than Modern Willis.
>>84117071
So... never lived on campus, even less in a bunk bed.
How do roommates usually take care of this stuff? awkwardly long showers/bathroom-visits or hanging a tie on the doorknob?
I think whenever I use a strip for reference for College university USA! I'll just edit it with my own lil' twist.
As in make it better.
>>84118540
>thunk thunk thunk
So the lesbians are humping.
The LESBIANS are humping.

Wait until you think everyone is asleep and just do it
>>84119674
he has crazy parent-problems
he probably doesn't have crazy-parent problems though
>>84121420
the warning it's self is pretty horrid. it's not like
>Trigger Warning: Suicide
or
>Warning: comic contains reference to suicide
it comes off almost like he's trying to be cute about it
>wuaht woah I wrote some suicides, don't wanna hurt your wittle feelies if you don't wanna reads it pls totes-e-wotes-e-don'tsie if you do wanna read it I made even more warnings below
>ps I luv uooo
>pps I sorriesss
>>84122227
Isn't that what you've been doing?
>>84122480
Well, I've been parodying, not editing.
But I enjoy myself a good edit every once in a while. It's fun and picks up my self esteem that my art is better than his.
>>84117071
That Joyce is literally Willis. Like, he admitted he couldn't masturbate until he was 19 years old because he would imagine his grandma watching from heaven and he would start crying.
>>84121329
>This is a legitimate fear in DoA.
There's no goddamn way it's not happening either. If you think Joyce becoming a dyke and fucking Becky isn't the endgame, youre deluding yourself.
>>84121133
I will only accept Becky's mom killed herself because Becky realized she was a lesbian.
I can't accept anything else for Becky's behavior.
I seriously can't comprehend the fact Willis makes a living off of this comic.
Who enjoys reading this shit? Let alone enough to pay for it? It makes me feel like Natural Selection stopped showing up for work.
Then again I don't know why I keep coming to these threads either. I sure as fuck don't LIKE this comic in any way shape or form, I suppose it's just the brief but pointless hope that something sensical will happen.
>>84119982
I am not nearly as good at butts, or back views.
>>84122657
No, see. Willis will never make Joyce gay, because it'll undermine his whole "being gay isn't a choice" thing. Keeping Joyce straight is paramount to legitimizing Becky's struggle. That's why he still has a handfull of DEFINITELY STRAIGHT characters.
>>84122724
Have you ever gotten stuck on a highway because of an accident, then when you finally reach the congestion point and see where the crash happened, with blood on the road and medics working? It's kind of the same principle with Dumbing of Age.
>>84122306
What is that supposed to mean?
>>84122830
>because it'll undermine his whole "being gay isn't a choice"
What's the point when he keeps writing characters choosing to become gay anyway?
Bi doesn't count, every bi character winds up gay.
>>84122750
Well, Practice makes perfect.hint hint
>>84122114
By not going to a university that has shared dorm rooms.
>>84122851
None of them "chose" to be gay though.
>Billie's been bi since high school
>Danny and Ruth are just now realizing they're bi.
>Leslie Bean i-pfff I'm just kidding you know why she's gay.
>It's implied Becky was always gay, just repressed it cuz of Jesus.
>Daisy needs someone to fucking eat her pussy like yesterday.
>Ethan's realized he was gay since high school.
>I don't know how long Marcie's been gay but she plays roller derby so...
>Dina kissed a girl out of spite and realized she liked it, which was weird because she was basically asexual through most of the comic.
I'm not saying he's good at it, but the whole "you can't chose your sexuality thing" has always been his MO. Joyce already kissed Becky. If she was going to be gay, that would've been when it happened.
(although if Joyce DOES become gay I will lose what little shred of respect I have for him).
>>84122984
>(although if Joyce DOES become gay I will lose what little shred of respect I have for him).
That would be a shitshow.
>>84122843
Learn to google.
Did this!
>>84123088
Rugby is better than American Football, to be honest.
Great Comic, though.
>>84121432
>I just want to leave her apron-nude in the kitchen making me sammiches and bebes.

Joyce is for taking with you, always
>>84121402
>he actually read the entirety of doa
>>84123171
You think that's bad?
Imaging trying to read 17 years of his older comics:
http://www.itswalky.com/
www.shortpacked.com
>>84122843
It's a murder. Thunk is the sound of scissors getting lodged in bone.
>>84123200
I actually did binge shortpacked a while ago
and actually enjoyed it until he got super preachy.
>>84123296
^^^^THIS. Early Shortpacked wasn't half bad. It's how I found Willis in the first place.
>>84123045
I know what scissors are, I just don't get how this is relevant to anything. Is this some kind of meme or something?
>>84123296
To be honest, I kinda like his earlier Walkyverse stuff (It's Walky, Joyce and Walky).
I think he works best with sci-fi stuff.
>>84123350Lesbian Sex. Think of the blades as legs.
>>84123350
Search for scissors and lesbian. Be enlightened.
>>84123321
>>84123350
>he doesn't know what scissoring is
look up 'tribadism'
>>84123373
He works best when he doesn't have to pretend he knows how the real world works.
>>84123433
Precisely.
>>84123392
My favorite part is that Mike is basically bullshitting, but he sounds clever enough to change minds and bum people out. He just fucks with people and can twist anything negative. I miss him.
>>84123459
remember when willis took a stab at 4chan?
>>84123620
Big Deal. 4chan hates everyoneor is that the joke?
>>84122668
Considering that the way Hank talked about Becky's mom implies that he had about the same opinion of her as he did of Ross, you could easily make that a legit plot point.
>>84123672
>4chan is a collective
>Internet hate machine
This reputation really has ruined this place.
>>84123672
>or is that the joke?
No, Willis just compulsively "sticks it" to his critics.
>>84122455
He's like that "How do you do, fellow young people" pic, only he's trying to do it for real.
>>84118682
I didn't know Sarah had the power to make faces disappear.
>>84123866
She's got the Indiana witchery in her.
>>84123703
reputations like that are for people stupid enough to think they mean anything
>>84123703
to be fair, that page was from 2008, when /b/ was actually doing shit like punking Oprah.
>>84116920
Because he grew up on psalty and Joyce is his self insert character for his old Fundie self.
>>84123392
>>84123620
'07 Amber is Best Amber, before her hair and core persona changed.
>>84123088
>>84123140
>Great Comic, though.
Don't be mean, and just straight-up lie to people like that.
>>84123938
I'd say '08's layered bob cut is the best looking.
>>84123703
Some feel that Anonymous, and with it 4chan, control a fast chunk of the Internet. With a pull of the strings, they can make a legion of internet guys and ladies drop the hammer on those who wrong them.
>>84123915
but, I mean....psalty? Was psalty REALLY that popular? I spent years with religious families, and I think we had....one psalty VHS?
meanwhile, the hanna barbera VHSes and veggie tales were way, WAY bigger.
and mcgee and me.
>>84123962
It's weird that once he had less comics to write and draw his art got worse. Amber's hairdo is basically a brown circle.
'10 Amber had finally overcome her baggage and dad issues and got married, had a daughter and could settle down to-- Oh, oh wait no, she's not. She's going to be 19 again, have even deeper rooted Dad Issues and work through her fear and rage through varying levels of schizophrenia.
>>84123973
You have to remember that Willis is almost 40. He would have been about 14 when VeggieTales first appeared and in his twenties when they got really popular. Psalty started in 1980 so would have been the main thing in his childhood.
What's the appeal of this comic?
>>84118207
This guy's art is actively worse than Willis', he draws everyone so fat that they look like marshmallows with wigs.
>>84124287
same as any slice of life comic, with a bit of tumblr thrown in.
>>84123949
Man, it feels like there's this one guy who always passively aggressively comments on every thread.
I'm flattered you just love my art so much!
your witty banter always gives me a giggle.
>>84116914
>comic is bad
>let's marathon it.
Not even /v/ would spend this much time.
>>84124634
You never partook in a storytime of Girls did you ? You have no idea how much selfdestructive /co/ can be
>>84118938
Willis is probably a closeted gay himself.
>>84124365
>passively aggressively
>I'm flattered
lol But yeah, at least two now, actually.
>>84125278
Willis desperately wishes he was a lesbian.
>>84119103
What was he talking about. I couldn't read it because Dina's word balloons going on about absolutely bothing
>>84125290
Well, as long as you get to experience my journey through art, then I am happy with it.
>>84122984
So all the bis with somebody are with people of the same gender.
yeah, gay.
>>84125318
And yet he knows nothing of lesbian sex
>>84119422
Why would Billie hook up with someone who abuses her? It flies in the face of logic.
>>84125346
>experience my journey through art
Looking at it now, I rather not, really. You're writing's pretty shit, also.
>>84125346
Man, just keep plagiarizing It Hurts!!, but like do it better. I don't know.
>>84125420
Well unless she's a sub. But we know otherwise.
>>84125355
>tfw gays call you straight if you end up with someone the opposite sex
>tfw straights call you gay if you end up with someone the same sex as yours
It's just another day
>>84124634
You can't hate something unless you know it thoroughly, and this hatred is so sweet.
>>84125446
Well that's ok! everyone has there own personal tastes, and If you don't feel like reading it then that's just fine and dandy there are certianly better comics out there.
>>84125469
Well, while It Hurts was one of my earlier inspirations, I'm more into researching and trying to practice advocating Craig Mcraken's style into my art these days.
>>84125420
Why would anyone hook up with a known abuser? Self-destructive tendencies? Closet messiah complex? Raw sexual attraction and lack of caring about the consequences? But people do it. It's just repulsive that Willy portrays it as a positive thing.
>>84126003
in their case it was, as they called it, a 'suicide pact'.

This, kids who transition before/during puberty do not have any of the tells that 4chan loves to meme about.
>>84118128
The one who always says "ah" and her brother seem alright. Mary's a cunt who refuses to get earplugs or headphones too.
>>84122248
You okay mate? You look dumber than Willis with this post
>>84116914
I'm not telling you how to do your job anon, but generally storytimes are for comics that aren't available for free online.
>>84126182
Mary shouldn't have to buy earplugs, Carla doesn't have any right to skate in the corridor she is the one at fault
>>84119060
>asexual ex girlfriend who's into girls
>asexual
>into
U fucking what? Asexual is such a meme
Someone should do Sarah porn and also Malaya porn.
Thanks in advance.
PS The someone shouldn't be Willis, though.
>>84126240
her words, not mine.

>get attacked by your father for your sexual identity
>it's your fault he's in prison
>oh and it's the first thing that's said to you by someone who's known you since you were a child and liked you until they learned you were gay
>>84126204
I dunno man, when it comes to Willis I automatically assume there's a retarded explanation for something.
>>84125061
>WAP
>>84126233
Roller skates aren't even loud dude. Have you ever heard someone skate?
>>84126540
Superglue doesn't act like that in real life either, we're talking in-comic logic theremy point still stand
>>84122114
Your class schedules shouldn't be the same, and your sleep schedules are usually only the same if you're both boring.
>>84126136
TERFs and TELFs are a thing.
>>84126160
It really depends on how long Carla has been transitioning, but you're right, if she started before puberty she would have been on puberty blockers before receiving hormones. Given her wealth and the fact that her parents get her anything she wants she probably has had some cosmetic surgery too.
