Yup, it sure is healthy to keep having Ruth be the RA Willis.
>>84551634
>I forced my girlfriend to break up with me and also I blamed her for the break-up so I want to die
I agree. Death to Ruth!
Is Ruth flirting with Carla now?
>>84551634
Ten bucks says she takes the hatecrime cookies before she leaves Ruth to her doomspiral
>>84552526
>hatecrime cookies
>doomspiral
Sounds like songs from the heavy metal version of the Aquabats.
>>84551634
>In which Carla realizes she done fucked up.
>>84552099
I forget. Is Ruth bisexual or straight-up lez?
....and does it even matter when it comes toCarl??
How much in universe time has passed? Last I check it was some impossibly small amount
>>84553178
Since the comic began six years ago, it's been a little over a month of time that has passed.
>>84553178
I think it's supposed to be a hour or two. IIRC, the original strip where she check in on Ruth was before Becky and Joyce went to church.
>>84553178
We're definitely still waaaaayyy before Thanksgiving, and I'm pretty sure Halloween hasn't happened yet either.
>>84551634
But what about Walky's cartoon problems???!!!!
>>84553429
Willis' storytelling style is like one long, manic string of awkward emotional glottal stops
>>84551634
Reminder, when asked why no one else got the RA position before/instead of Ruth, Willis said "all the other applicants were worse." Not even that they did poor in the interview, but that they'd literally would be worse RAs than a person who can't even muster the motivation to get clean and dressed.
>>84554039
Willis probably just said that to make Ruth seem less shitty.
>>84553127
>Carla, since I doubt you'd be willing to take Billie's place in the suicide pact, I want you to help me do one thing before I kill myself.
>Look, I'm only here because I was bribed with cookies, don't make this weird.
>I want you to get me pregnant.
>Goddamn it.
>Hear me out. It's been my biggest fantasy ever since I broke into Amber's room a few days ago to get a laugh out of reading her shitty fanfics. Ever since then the only thing that I can think of when schlicking is some tranny filling me with cum while taunting me about being a worthless whore before abandoning me with a bastard child.
>Okay, first of all, rude. Now I gotta grab a bunch of lasers and a pie out of the trunk of my car. Secondly, I had an orichietomy when I turned 18.
>Oh...so I guess that's a no?
>...Fuck that, it's hitting all the right notes. Stay there; I gotta find a turkey baster, strap-on harness, and some sperm. And I swear to God if you've killed yourself by the time I get back I'll...I don't know. Knock up Billie, name the kid Ruth, wait for her to get attached to it, then force her to get an abortion or something. I'm in uncharted waters here, I'll think of something.

Carla gets seduced by cookies
>>84557230
All in all, knowing if someone will eat the cookies is more interesting than the rest.

>>84551634
How can a tranny not understand that the only thing a woman needs to be happy is to take her medulla oblongata back to the triassic with the dragonwyrm9000, with undulating pleasure texture, easy cleaning silicone case and waterproof rechargeable battery? Just set it to "foreplay", drop it on her bed and run out the door. Nature will do the rest.

Of course. Willis probably never expected anybody to question how Ruth became an RA, so he pulled an answer out of his ass when confronted and was like "That's why. It's canon now. Leave me alone."
>>84551634
Why is Carla such a terrible """""""""person"""""""""?
>>84559187
>""""""""""person""""""""""
>>84551634
This would be pretty tense if we didn't know the No-Death Rule was in effect. She's going to magically get over this and back on her feet within a week.
In story time at least. The way these plots bounce around it'll probably be Christmas before this year-long weekend adventures wrap up.
>>84559586
>tense
There's no tension here, rules or not. This is an entirely useless strip, bringing absolutely nothing new to the story. The art is really lazy in this one too, even for Willis' standards.
Also I predict the next one will be Carla standing next to the door saying something to Ruth then leaving.
>>84557230
posted.

If the previews are to be believed Joyce and Becky will be back on campus sometime in August.
>>84551634
What're the odds that we get another ridiculous trigger warning with this strip?
>>84563179
Why bother? We all know how this works. No One Dies.
>>84551634
ok do you guys love this comic or what? Or is this one of those "IRONIC" things eh?
Or is it plain old stockholm syndrome?
>>84563270
>Every fucking thread.
>>84563270
>>84563270
It updates every day and takes 10 seconds to read. Depending on the day of the week I read 1-8 other webcomics as part of my morning.
>>84563270
I find it fascinating. I hate it, but it could be much better with a few changes (so it would be average, not even good).
>>84563179
Was this a legit trigger warning or just Willis trying to break his comments record ? Even for his readership it seems ridiculous. Also, that kitten will die. It may already be dead.
>>84563270
It's a good comic. Not "OH my god it's wonderful!" but still good.
Willis gets a little too much hate for it honestly.
>>84564011
It was absolutely legit. Willis has become incapable of trolling anyone to his left.
>>84558172
>>84558175
Hi, this is David Willis, author of Dumbing of Age. I just want to say that what you're doing right now is thievery. I put a very minimal amount of work into this comic and I think I deserve to get an outrageously overlarge return for it, don't you agree?
In fact, I know you don't even like my comics, so this could only be a way to frustrate me because you hate that I'm the literally the king of Social Justice and Political Correctness. I bet you're all born-again Christians, too, who go to church every Sunday and praise Jesus, like my cunt bitch mother, may her womb rot in hell.
I'm warning you, if you don't cease this behavior, I'll have no choice but to tweet snide comments about you on Twitter.
>>84551634
Does Willis not know how to draw characters from the side? I've never seen him do it before and Carl looks so much more stiff and lifeless here than anything what he draws.
>>84567495
>critiquing mighty Willy's art
>>84567495
He usually goes for a closer shot, and some kind of three quarter view of the face. Whenever he zooms out it looks weird, mainly because his art is lazy. This strip is even worse than usual in terms of drawing.
>>84563270
We love shitposting. You shouldn't be surprised, there's one faggot who's been posting that one guy sucking his own dicks while making fun of mods for weeks.
>>84567634
r-really?
Can you point to one of his comments?
For research purposes, of course.
>>84567414
>I'm warning you, if you don't cease this behavior, I'll have no choice but to tweet snide comments about you on Twitter.
Holy shit! We fucked up, guys! We gotta bail!
>>84567945
>implying I won't hurt the fuck out of your feelings
>>84567495
>Does Willis not know how to draw characters
Pretty much. The art does not stand up to any scrutiny. Lucky for him, Turnerizing art makes it seem better than it is.
>washing her hands of potential trouble despite having a responsibility to do otherwise
Well at least Carla has a stereotypical woman's demeanor down anyway
>>84568227
desu I wouldn't help Ruth either.
>>84568142
But my insurance doesn't cover hurt feelings, you bastard!
>>84551634
why is he moonwalking out of there
>>84569096
Because that fits Willis's very loose definition of "funny."
>>84569096
If you believe your toes should be raised while moon walking then you are bad at moonwalking.
>>84551634
Setting aside the other problems with the comic, this strip is a prime example of why most webcomics are terrible. They stick to the panel layout religiously and draw things too literally, despite the format not fitting the content.
Carla is just standing stiffly in the same position 3 out of 5 panels, Ruth doesn't move either, and the perspective isn't interesting. Here's a pro tip: if you can copy and paste the same thing 3 or 4 times because it suits the story, maybe your story is vapid shit.
Here's an example of an improvement:
Panel 1: Carla hesitantly creeping toward the bed
Panel 3: Carla slowly about to tap her on the shoulder
Panel 4:Carla recoils as Ruth's reply startles her
Ruth can stay the same in this case.
He could also use a different fucking shot in each panel. It looks like it was filmed by a spectator that has no interest in these people.
I'll never understand why people pick a visual medium and not take advantage of it.
>>84570370
You're right. This has the blocking of a play. Except any decent play will move the characters around the set so that it's not boring as shit.
>>84570370
That's Willis for you, keeping the same layout and adding unnecessary panels in every strip. I know you said most, but really some webcomics can do much better, even with a strict repetitive layout. Actually there are many webcomics that don't go with a fixed format, but it all depends on the execution, and I totally agree about about your last sentence.
