I don’t have a wife, but I can always tell it’s been too long since I’ve had someone to “spend some time with” because my jokes get progressively raunchier.
that sounds good on paper, but every time i have waffles i feel compelled to equally butter and syrup each square. and if you’ve never done it before, let me tell you it takes too damn long. waffles just aren’t worth it to me.
If we can come up with monstrosities like the McGriddle and The Luther (dear god, THE LUTHER), then x-flavored waffles (or x-flavored BACON) is easy to come up with!!
It’s too late for Dina on Rule 34. I just wanted, for the sake of storytelling clarity, a panel of Dina putting on a shirt that wasn’t about her being half-naked.
So what you’re basically saying is: while the classy thing to do would be to leave the “changing” panel out entirely and just show her wearing a different shirt the next time we see her, that would have been too subtle for some of your readers and picked at as a continuity error by others.
To tell the truth, I started out writing it meaning to imply that Willis should give his readers more credit, but halfway through I started to agree with the reasoning. I likely would have fell into the “completely failed to notice” category myself.
God, that art is right here on the floor next to my chair. It ended up on the top of this stack of random art from our move, and every time I look down, I berate myself for not getting that damn thing put away or something.
Pfft. A nice stack of 4 huge waffles with enough strawberry/maple syrup to make you semi-sick. (Although…. Golden Corral’s stack of country-style pancakes with their….beautiful…BEAUTIFUL Canadian maple syrup has shaken my faith in waffles far too many times. I will not give in!)
There’s a restaurant near me that makes oatmeal pancakes with peach compote. It’s amazing, but you can’t eat for the rest of the day, it’s that filling!
if you can find it, try brer rabbit syrup (but not the molasses). it’s so thick and sweet. i even bother eating pancakes or waffles if i can’t drown them in this stuff.
We need more Dina if she’s going to end up on the beach with the others.
Besides, she is funny, in a different way. And more Dina is always good. Leslie has appeared more times than Dina, and Dina is supposed to be one of the main cast, I believe.
Time for irresponsible speculation:
I think this may be a pretty immediate transition, with Joyce, Dorothy or Walky inviting her to the beach when they run into her in the hallway. Then a beach episode, then Amber gets a short story segment where she is late for a class. This may lead to her borrowing notes from Danny and some more bait for shippers. Also, there will be drama at the beach; this ‘adventure’ will take up potential weeks of strips and DoAs drama tag is long lost, if it ever existed at all…….
Amen. I work nights, so breakfast is whatever I eat when I wake up in the evening, lunch is what I eat at 2 a.m., and dinner is what I eat when I get home in the morning while everyone else is rushing off to work, scarfing down whatever they managed to buy from the fascist fast-food places that don’t serve anything but “breakfast” items in the morning.
Likewise on nightshift. It’s always fun to explain to new dayshifters that 8am to us is like 8pm to them when my coworkers and I go and have tacos and beer after our shift.
In the first panel, she is clearly struggling with someone. Willis claims she’s pulling on a t-shirt, but I can see through such lies. Clearly this is going to crossover with the Marvel Universe, and Dina is now a Skrull.
That’s a very peculiar (partial) pose for anyone to be in at any point while putting on a shirt. Looks more like she’s forcibly dragging herself into frame to me. Which didn’t seem sufficiently implausible to make me doubt it, given Dina being Dina and all.
Also, I find myself suspecting that a second reason to avoid drawing her in the final stages of changing her shirt would be to avoid showing her with her hat off.
It doesn’t look like it’s strapped on or anything; I didn’t actually buy one of the physical ones, but it strikes me as the type of headwear that would inevitably come off when the prior shirt is removed, at which point it wouldn’t be worth putting it back on until after the next shirt was donned. Any shot of Dina during the actual donning process would reveal her huge bald spot.
Also, didn’t Head Alien II say he’d be hunting Walkys and Joyces across the multiverse? So technically, he could barge into this one and attack the Walky and Joyce of the Dumbiverse…uh-oh.
I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and read the entire archives of all of the previous comics before the comment section on this one completely spoils everything for those, aren’t I?

Pancakes are infinitely better than waffles or ham. Well, I’m vegetarian, so ham was ruled out anyway. But still pancakes.
By the way, snoring is normally a continuous thing. So if she waits long enough, the ‘choice’ is going to be ham.
Fools! Waffles are the higher-evolved form of pancakes. THEY HAVE CUPS FOR THE SYRUP.
Heheh… Amber has cups for syrup…
Hrm… I’m starting to think that with all the overtime I’ve been picking up, it’s been a little too long since I’ve “spent some time” with my wife…
I don’t have a wife, but I can always tell it’s been too long since I’ve had someone to “spend some time with” because my jokes get progressively raunchier.
That, and my PSL gets progressively worse…
it is absurdly worse when you’ve never done it before, you will never ever achieve this level of raunch in this lifetime again…
Yeah, I’d say so.
that sounds good on paper, but every time i have waffles i feel compelled to equally butter and syrup each square. and if you’ve never done it before, let me tell you it takes too damn long. waffles just aren’t worth it to me.
SAME HERE. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! *hugzorz*!
Waffles are not responsible for OCD!!! (Chips and salsa are responsible for OCD . . .)
Who would prefer pancakes to Waffles? Some kind of mutant pancake monster?
Somebody’s getting waffles with ham on top.
That sounds delicious.
As long as it comes with a fried egg too.
And Hollandaise. And strawberries.
Perfect time for the Galasso chef picture.
…How many times for pancakes?
Thrice!
And what is the snore code for omelette? Or is it more of a yawn and stretch thingy?
that code is: *snort-snort* *breathe* *snooooooore*
short-short-long long-short short-pause-short.
Who honestly wants pancakes when they can have waffles?
I have to admit, that is a good point. Though I’d take bacon over waffles any day. 🙂
As well you should.
How about… Waffles topped with bacon?
Or… bacon-flavored waffles?
Amerca: The Land of *coughfoodcough* Oppurtunity!
If we can come up with monstrosities like the McGriddle and The Luther (dear god, THE LUTHER), then x-flavored waffles (or x-flavored BACON) is easy to come up with!!
The McGriddle, with its yummy pockets of mapelized crack.
[Googles “the luther”]
…
Sweet Zombie Jesus… O_o
Jesus Velociraptor Christ… that thing…
brb, making one.
BACON PANCAKES
http://bacontoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bacon-pancakes.jpg
Me!! I don’t like waffles!
I’ll take pancakes with bacon. and eggs too. Scrambled.
Pancakes superior…
Waffles… inferior…
What if she snores three times, Dina? What then?
hot-pockets.
Sandwiches.
3 = 1 + 2 = waffles + ham
Just math really.
And what if she desires eggs?
4.5 snores. basically that last one she needs to stop mid snore…and body-slam her stuffed llama.
I thought a Body slam would indicate a Grand Slam breakfast from Denny’s.
That’s after 3 snores. And mumbling about being the prophet of the second eaton…whatever that means…
Dina is cute again!
How would ham ever win over waffles?
Meat > starch.
The flesh of animalkind gives me the power to start my day. Muawahaha..
Again? You say that as if she stopped being cute… she is always cute.
This is true. The ‘again’ is because every time I see her, she is being cute again.
I think we missed some fanservice in panel 1.
VERY ON PURPOSE.
(Seriously, it is hard to draw an unsexy t-shirt-pulling-on, and I tried and failed, so there you go. Obscural.)
If you doing that to avoid Rule 34, it’s not going to work as well as you think it will.
It’s too late for Dina on Rule 34. I just wanted, for the sake of storytelling clarity, a panel of Dina putting on a shirt that wasn’t about her being half-naked.
Don’t think of it as half-naked, think of it as half-clothed.
why think about it at all?
Sometimes you just gotta accept it!
what’re we talking about again?
UNDERPANTS!
and the risk of getting randomly Joe’d?!?
Why would you, of all avatars worry about a thing like that?
GAH! Perversely warped iCarly flash!
RRRRANDOM JOEING!!!
we sittin’ in here, i’m supposed to be a franchise player, and we in here talkin’ about practice.
how the hell am i supposed to make my teammates better by practice?
Sometimes you just get super creepy, dude.
So what you’re basically saying is: while the classy thing to do would be to leave the “changing” panel out entirely and just show her wearing a different shirt the next time we see her, that would have been too subtle for some of your readers and picked at as a continuity error by others.
…..yeah.
Do you just like the way that reason sounds or was that your actual reasoning lol…?
Okay this comment is hilarious. True, but hilarious.
It totally would have. Have you ever read the comments section? We pick apart EVERYTHING.
To tell the truth, I started out writing it meaning to imply that Willis should give his readers more credit, but halfway through I started to agree with the reasoning. I likely would have fell into the “completely failed to notice” category myself.
Haha truth. Me too!
Rule 34 of Dina Sarazu has already been done. By D.W. himself. In 2003. Back when he still drew noses as a continuous stroke.
God, that art is right here on the floor next to my chair. It ended up on the top of this stack of random art from our move, and every time I look down, I berate myself for not getting that damn thing put away or something.
Actually, I just thought she was so shy she had to physically drag herself into the panel/strip. (in the absence of someone else to do it for her)
That is how I saw it as well.
Yup, my first thought too. I even mentally added someone in the wings whispering: “Dina, your on, get out there” and shoving her into the frame.
Same here. Felt just right for Dina.
Ahhh, thanks for that. I was wondering what was going on in the first panel.
Dig it!
Is that what she was doing? I thought she was doing some Vaudevillian thing, like she was pulling herself into the panel with her shirt.
Wait, but… what if she wants pancakes? Or french toast? Come on, Dina, you have to have something for french toast.
She gets two chioces, if she wants something else, she better wake up.
Missing the point, dina…
…
……..
(whispers)…steal her wallet.
Waffles with real maple syrup can not be beat.
I respectfully disagree. I’ve never delighted in a breakfast food more glorious than pancakes with blueberry syrup.
personally if we’re getting into flavored syrups you gotta go to iHop and get pancakes with blueberry, stawberry, and maple together
iHOP? Has Apple taken over International House of Pancakes nowadays?
I believe you meant “international House of pancakes”.
i feel that anything that starts with the letter i and is spoken that way should be spelt with a lowercase i over a uppercase one
Pfft. A nice stack of 4 huge waffles with enough strawberry/maple syrup to make you semi-sick. (Although…. Golden Corral’s stack of country-style pancakes with their….beautiful…BEAUTIFUL Canadian maple syrup has shaken my faith in waffles far too many times. I will not give in!)
Pancakes with real maple syrup, or fruit compote (apple) on top. Those are awesome. Also awesome with the French Toast.
Pancakes will always beat waffles in my book.
There’s a restaurant near me that makes oatmeal pancakes with peach compote. It’s amazing, but you can’t eat for the rest of the day, it’s that filling!
if you can find it, try brer rabbit syrup (but not the molasses). it’s so thick and sweet. i even bother eating pancakes or waffles if i can’t drown them in this stuff.
Snore three times for pony.
Ponies taste like dogfood right?
Vikings and Nord’s from “Skyrim” eat ponies… I think its a late morning snack though…
Only if you over-cook them.
Ask Pinkie Pie for tips on baking ponies. She makes the best cupcakes.
I saw what you did there. Bad Plasma, no internets for you, one week!
I can so totally eat both of those things right now!!! =D
Wow.
I did not think Dina could be any less socialized. I was wrong.
You aren’t going to Waffle House are you, Dina? I hear they give donations to anti-dinosaur groups.
The lack of bacon disturbs me greatly.
Do you like waffles?
Yeah I like waffles! Doot doot doot doot! CAN’T WAIT TO GET A MOUTHFUL!
Do you like pancakes?
With ice cream, strawberries, maple syrup and hot fudge…
…a diabetics death wish. Man…I’m hungry.
…. More than life itself…
Who dosn’t like waffles?
Unless the waffle in question is holding ice-cream, I am not a big fan of waffles…. or ham.
BRAIN-CHILD! Waffles made of ham…
…Nobody Copyright!!!!! IT’S MINE!!!
…holding ICE CREAM!
No Michelle… BACON ice cream!
[drools]
Cake lovers, well at least the ones that I know of.
I’m rather fond of Xmas Cakes myself.
TV TROPES? YOU FIEND!
BWAHAHAHAHAH! 😀
Hah! Your evil plan didn’t work, I was only trapped there for two hours.
Actually, I love cake, and I much prefer waffles over pancakes.
I also like making cakes and waffles. Though usually not at the same time…
Aww, I was hoping for more Ethan. Dina’s cut and all, but she isn”t exactly funny, you know?
We need more Dina if she’s going to end up on the beach with the others.
Besides, she is funny, in a different way. And more Dina is always good. Leslie has appeared more times than Dina, and Dina is supposed to be one of the main cast, I believe.
Time for irresponsible speculation:
I think this may be a pretty immediate transition, with Joyce, Dorothy or Walky inviting her to the beach when they run into her in the hallway. Then a beach episode, then Amber gets a short story segment where she is late for a class. This may lead to her borrowing notes from Danny and some more bait for shippers. Also, there will be drama at the beach; this ‘adventure’ will take up potential weeks of strips and DoAs drama tag is long lost, if it ever existed at all…….
Or maybe Galasso has it.
Oh, ‘cute’. I swear when I first read your comment I had a perplexed moment of ‘but she’s not all that muscular’.
Just re-read that. Maybe that’s where she is all day?
what if she snores thrice?
C’mon, Dina. Everyone knows that the best breakfast is FRENCH TOAST!
TOASTED SAUSAGE SANDWICH
for a nickle.
wait…WHAT sausage are we talking about here?
Not the ‘self-saucing’ kind if that’s what you were wondering. 😀
NO, for a dollar!
And make it a foot long.
Wrong, EGG SANDWICH is the best breakfast.
With lots of cheese. And throw some bacon on there!
I would have to say the breakfast burritos served at my college.
YEAH TOAST!!

Hey Willis, what do we have to do to get Dina on the cast page? She’s done a helluva lot more than Becky and possibly even Ethan.
Remind me that she’s not on it, which is something I meant to fix long ago. Hold on.
She’d have to petition for the position herself.
She’s probably already there, but just hiding behind something
No, bring me cake.
Ok, 5 snores for Lucky Charms, but 6 snores for Crunch Berries.
I love you, Dina.
Also, I find my name hilarious while it is set to Leslie as the picture.
Damn you, Willis! You’ve gone and induced a craving that I will not be able to sate any time soon!
Just to clarify, that’s a FOOD craving, NOT a craving for an ambiguously aged asian girl.
Craving for ham or waffles?
BOTH! A nice thick slab of country ham with two eggs over easy and a big fresh belgian waffle with warm maple syrup and real butter. *drool*
STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW. I started drooling in the library, which is an awkward place to drool.
…Dina is so adorable I can’t even. I want to hug her.
Agreed. Many many hugs.
Oh Dina. When I have I spare 20 bucks, I’m so buying your shirt that may or may not be about boners that you just changed out of. -cue creeper music-
This comic is 2x better for having Dina present, and 3x better for having Dina be adorable and funny at the same time.
Of course Dina will be delayed, causing Amber to over sleep. Time to start speculating about the consequences.
Best roommate ever.
Who eats waffles for lunch?
A college kid on a meal plan. Or fans of Roscoe’s, the obvious alternative to Chik-fil-A.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner are all LIES perpetrated by THE MAN! There is only FOOD TIME!
Amen. I work nights, so breakfast is whatever I eat when I wake up in the evening, lunch is what I eat at 2 a.m., and dinner is what I eat when I get home in the morning while everyone else is rushing off to work, scarfing down whatever they managed to buy from the fascist fast-food places that don’t serve anything but “breakfast” items in the morning.
I often have breakfast for dinner.
Likewise on nightshift. It’s always fun to explain to new dayshifters that 8am to us is like 8pm to them when my coworkers and I go and have tacos and beer after our shift.
In the first panel, she is clearly struggling with someone. Willis claims she’s pulling on a t-shirt, but I can see through such lies. Clearly this is going to crossover with the Marvel Universe, and Dina is now a Skrull.
Nope. Chuck Testa.
Dinah is so cute (*^_^*)
… Now I want waffles… DINA WAFFLES PLEASE!!!
Would those be just Dina flavored waffles, or waffles made with actual bits of chopped-up Dina in them?
Snore thrice for caramel candy.
*Walky snore loudly three times*
Why is Dina so freakin’ cute?
Evolutionary mechanism intended to keep her creator from killing her off in this universe.
If he kills her AGAIN after what he did last time I think he’ll definitely lose readership.
The Britjas don’t exist in this universe, so I think Dina’s fine.
Unless some crazy alien decides to start hunting alternate versions of Dina. Then she’s slightly less fine.
That’s a very peculiar (partial) pose for anyone to be in at any point while putting on a shirt. Looks more like she’s forcibly dragging herself into frame to me. Which didn’t seem sufficiently implausible to make me doubt it, given Dina being Dina and all.
Also, I find myself suspecting that a second reason to avoid drawing her in the final stages of changing her shirt would be to avoid showing her with her hat off.
So you think she can’t change her shirt without taking off her hat?
She can leave her hat on.
Will you take off her shoes?
It doesn’t look like it’s strapped on or anything; I didn’t actually buy one of the physical ones, but it strikes me as the type of headwear that would inevitably come off when the prior shirt is removed, at which point it wouldn’t be worth putting it back on until after the next shirt was donned. Any shot of Dina during the actual donning process would reveal her huge bald spot.
Dina’s a trooper. It too her to 26 days before she finally decided to get food.
Amber never told Dina what 2 not to let her sleep past. Just saying.
It’s not wise to make cognitive leaps with the socially challenged – no matter how cute they might be about it!
It just dawned on me that both girls we’ve seen Mike in a relationship with are roomies. Way to go, me. What a freaking noodle. -.-
Also, didn’t Head Alien II say he’d be hunting Walkys and Joyces across the multiverse? So technically, he could barge into this one and attack the Walky and Joyce of the Dumbiverse…uh-oh.
I’m just going to have to bite the bullet and read the entire archives of all of the previous comics before the comment section on this one completely spoils everything for those, aren’t I?
Pretty much, but Willis didnt really want that to happen, but thats fanbases for you.
Now I want waffles. And ham.
The trick is to have all 3!
Did Dina just pull herself into the panel frame? ^_^
Did Dina drag herself onto the panel..?
