“well, when the heaviest of them had successfully downed 8 Budwiesers within 20 minutes the largest one seemed to take attack position by wielding a blunt wooden object. The smallest of them, eager to find a mate, wandered off after seeing a boy with a book with a plus on it.
if it gets Sal in that zipper X-boob suit that Rogue was wearing for a while, I fully endorse that idea, but it would require some great skills to portray that…. perhaps we can convince the Almighty Willis to perform such a cheesecake pinup?
I can see it now… Dina hanging off the ceiling, lightly blued with that tail swishing about, Sal with the zipper plunged down just enough to get a peek of fun, that’d be a nice pic indeed
Now I’m going to be imagining Dina hiding behind a door every time I imagine any other two characters hooking up, or getting dragged along on their dates.
Jon Lovitz as Monkey Master, Kelsey Grammar as Monkey Master, and Jason Lee and Neil Patrick Harris as two everydudes with no choice but to take them in in order to learn a valuable moral.
Well, as I had never heard of this comic, I had to go do some research. I can’t believe I missed this one, particularly as it is Canadian. I will turn in my webcomic otaku card now, and bow my head in shame. Time for an archive run now.
Josh is on my “if I become a billionaire” list of people to give money to to do things. He’s already agreed to finish Avalon for $1M. I don’t recall if that was $1M Canadian money or real money though.
And then there’s being Billie and exceeding all levels of being a jerk because no one but you really exists, anyway. At least Billie doesn’t call that existing*, and she assumes that if you’re willing to settle for that, you’ll happily accept whatever abuse she feels like piling on you, too.
*Because if you wanted to exist, you’d be a cheerleader.
By which, then, you mean “pretty much all of them”?
Dunno about you but when I go walk around my local NW European city it’s pretty damn diverse.
(I was totally thrown when I went to college in a more isolated town and found the population there was about 99% WAS… felt like running over and hugging the first african dude I saw – which was at least a month after getting there)
A most pleasant type of dryer sheet, as it does not cause some people to snicker and guffaw behind you until that one kind soul comes along and peels it off and says “you got something on you”.
Instead she just wears t-shirts that could be about either boners or paleontology, depending on one’s perspective.
Is there a full moon in chat tonight? Slightly crazy bunch in here. Well, crazier than usual anyway.
I love Dina, how can you not? She is like a kitten. A teleporting kitten.
College Mall! (Am I the only person from Bloomington who reads this strip? Hehe.) I don’t live in Bloomington anymore so I love seeing stuff I recognize.
Bloomington only exists in the comic–that you somehow escaped means that you escaped from the comic into the real world. Don’t worry, a car has been sent to bring you back… (cue evil laughter)
Morning. I’ve finally caught up to date with this ‘ere fine web publication and I’m enjoying it all so much it’s curiously irritating. Nice to meet you all.
I just got back from my 20-year reunion in Bloomington, and I just want to say how much I appreciate how many details of the city you include and get spot-on.
Loading ...
I can’t wait to hear Dina’s version of this trip.
“well, when the heaviest of them had successfully downed 8 Budwiesers within 20 minutes the largest one seemed to take attack position by wielding a blunt wooden object. The smallest of them, eager to find a mate, wandered off after seeing a boy with a book with a plus on it.
“The smallest of them, eager to find a mate, wandered off after seeing a boy with a book with a plus on it.”
That almost made me ruin my laptop by making me laugh and spew water out my facial cavities.
…heaviest?
Dina’s got some plot teleporting powers goin on doesn’t she?
She’s Nightcrawler? I’m guessing that her cap is a holo-projector.
Portal’s Chel? Or some sort of weird CG Min from King of the Hill?
Nope, she is the Boss I designed on my Saints Row 2.
dammit Mongoose, now I’m imagining Dina in blue skin with a tail, & it’s working ffaarr too well… & it’s absurdly cute on top of everything else.
too bad my ability to draw is limited to stick figures, otherwise I’d try to find a way to capitalize on my mental wanderings
If Dina is like Night Crawler, does that mean that Sal, who is like Rogue is her sister?
if it gets Sal in that zipper X-boob suit that Rogue was wearing for a while, I fully endorse that idea, but it would require some great skills to portray that…. perhaps we can convince the Almighty Willis to perform such a cheesecake pinup?
I can see it now… Dina hanging off the ceiling, lightly blued with that tail swishing about, Sal with the zipper plunged down just enough to get a peek of fun, that’d be a nice pic indeed

for reference as to what I’m speaking of
I always thought Mirror Master style.
Or that demon in Mirror.
Way more creepy now.
I think she can just bilocate. She might be behind your door right now. Toss her a magazine, it’s boring back there.
She is simply studying humans. She has a camera behind her and she comments on us in our natural habitat.
Maybe she’s a superhero…her superpowers are those of Omnipresent Man.
Dina, a girl with amazing powers? Those powers of being where she needs to be when needed.
…Possibly…
I picture her just being endlessly stuck in the bus system.
Sitting beside Aslan.
Baldios. Dina is Baldios.
Is she a barnecle?
Why? Is she clinging to the bottom of your ship?
Now I’m going to be imagining Dina hiding behind a door every time I imagine any other two characters hooking up, or getting dragged along on their dates.
RARR! indeed. 😀
This summer………….DEXTER AND MONKEY MASTER: THE MOVIE
Jon Lovitz as Monkey Master, Kelsey Grammar as Monkey Master, and Jason Lee and Neil Patrick Harris as two everydudes with no choice but to take them in in order to learn a valuable moral.
Jon Lovitz as Dexter, sorry.
I like the mix of real advertising, The Target, Sears, and Dick’s, and the Monkey Master ad on the bus, all in the same panel.
He’s not advertising. He’s telling you to target Sears dicks
I’m assuming that Dicks is not some kind of male stripper club.
No more than Target is a gun store and Sears is a pyrotechnics outlet.
It’s a sportings good store, but I like your idea better
Thanks, here in Oz we have Dick Smith, which is an electronics store.
Here in GA we have Dick Blick’s which is an art store.
GA?
Georgia. The American state, not the east European country.
AH! Well I am in SA, that’s South Australia not South Africa.
According to FOP, Gah is very European.
When did Fairly Odd Parents become the prime resource for all knowlege about European culture?
I KNOW. WE used to have it too, in Silicon Valley. Went belly up. I miss the place.
Dick Smith Electronics, that is.
Did the Silicon Valley Dick Smith Electronics have his face with the 60s glasses/hairdo as the logo as well?
“…or the lint in your bellybutton.”
“or the jam between your toes”
“…or the wind beneath her wings.”
“…or the toilet paper on your shoe”
“…or the styrofoam bead in your hair.”
“…or the garden salad lettuce in your teeth”
“or the fist in your face.”
“…or the foot in your balls”
“…or the cheese on your vegan pizza.”
“…or the hairs caught in your sunglasses”
“… or the sock that wont come off because your feet are wet.”
“… or the tapeworm in your stomach.”
“…or the pee in your little brother’s sheets”
“Or the dog nipping at your heels.”
“”or the grass seeds in your velcro straps”.
Or ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
Isn’t it ironic that this was the best use of that song’s lyrics I’ve ever seen.
Why do I feel like saying “I am Darkwing Duck!” after all of these?
Because you’re a good person.
Sneaking in an Avalon reference?
Score! *sigh* I miss “See-lid” and company.
Avalon references are the only Avalon we are ever going to get again. It’s a relic of another time . . . sort of like “SMUT WITHOUT WARNING!”
You know that Avalon is truly dead, when such a reference generates just three Comments (well, now four).
Hey, I immediately thought of Ceilidh. Hell, if I had a third kid her *name* would be Ceilidh.
…I miss Avalon too. I wish David had had the time to take over from Josh and finish the story.
Avaaaaaaalllllooooooon ;_; This made me go back to avalonhigh.com to see if it was still there. memooorrriiieees.
I’m pretty sure I woud never have found “It’s Walky!” and DW’s other work had I not found Avalon on Keenspot first. I miss Josh Phillips. Memories….
It’s the same for me too, TDT! The Avalon reference was a very welcome surprise in today’s comic. Memories, indeed …
i miss Avalon… *snif*
Just replying to join the ranks of those who caught the reference.
Dina’s last name in this continuity is “MacFarlane.”
Well, as I had never heard of this comic, I had to go do some research. I can’t believe I missed this one, particularly as it is Canadian. I will turn in my webcomic otaku card now, and bow my head in shame. Time for an archive run now.
It’s worth a read.
Now why do I have this urge to drink Barq’s all of a sudden?
Josh is on my “if I become a billionaire” list of people to give money to to do things. He’s already agreed to finish Avalon for $1M. I don’t recall if that was $1M Canadian money or real money though.
Ouch. Pretty cold, Billie.
I know. There’s being a jerk and then there’s being a *jerk.*
and having a jerk.
and jerkin’
And eating jerky.
and clean and jerk.
OK, Plas’s avatar has been explained… what about yours, AM?
Mine? She is the one and only Lisa Winklemeyer, of
T Campbell’s Penny and Aggie and
QUILTBAG. My favourite character in my
favourite webcomics.
Or doing The Jerk.
And then there’s being Billie and exceeding all levels of being a jerk because no one but you really exists, anyway. At least Billie doesn’t call that existing*, and she assumes that if you’re willing to settle for that, you’ll happily accept whatever abuse she feels like piling on you, too.
*Because if you wanted to exist, you’d be a cheerleader.
“I was born a poor black child.”
But she’s an adorable dryer sheet!
And maybe this comparison means that she smells nice! Like a dryer sheet.
Doubtful.
This is gonna be fun~
of course it is. There’s always fun to be had with Dick’s
But not in public, there are laws after all. 😀
Yes, but laws are meant to be broken.
Just adds to the challenge.
Nothing sais rebellion like being able to honestly say “I’m breaking the law with my penis”.
I’ve never broken the law without my penis. I mean, I take it with me everywhere I do.
BUt have you used your penis as a tool for crime?
Only crimes against nature.
This strip is an example of the racial diversity that Hollywood keeps telling us that audiences will never accept.
Fuck you, Hollywood.
Mixed drinks are much better after all.
So if Hollywood ever does a Captain Planet movie, they will be represented by a diverse range of races found in North Western Europe.
By which, then, you mean “pretty much all of them”?
Dunno about you but when I go walk around my local NW European city it’s pretty damn diverse.
(I was totally thrown when I went to college in a more isolated town and found the population there was about 99% WAS… felt like running over and hugging the first african dude I saw – which was at least a month after getting there)
I should have said “races originating from North Western Europe.”
So, is Sarah really tall, or are the other three short?
I mean, jeez, she’s like a head taller than all of them.
Sarah is just super tall. Now I imagine her toppling buildings and breathing fire like a godzilla.
Gamera is a preferable alternative.
She’s the ‘Old Testament God’, of cause she’s tall.
D’awwwwwwwwwww! Poor Dina =(
A most pleasant type of dryer sheet, as it does not cause some people to snicker and guffaw behind you until that one kind soul comes along and peels it off and says “you got something on you”.
Instead she just wears t-shirts that could be about either boners or paleontology, depending on one’s perspective.
Plus she keeps your clothes from building up static.
Ah! Finally, Sarah and Dina met! My Dina/Sarah ship doesn’t seems so unlikely now, does it? (Ok, maybe it does, but I can dream, goddammit!)
I have noticed a serious lack of sexual tension between the two so far.
I don’t even think I’ve had any evidence that either has any desire to have sex with anyone ever.
asexual lesbian hate-sex? the otherkin’ll love it.
I’m having trouble visualising how it(asexual lesbian hate-sex) will even be a thing.
There’s no tension because they’ve already thoroughly sated their desire for each other, off-camera.
At least you won’t get zapped by static discharge if you touch Sarah now. 😀
Two characters have been in the same room together? Ship it.
Mike and Joe. Mmmmmm
Hawt.
Ryan’s FACE and Sarah’s baseball bat, I’m shipping it!
I’m pretty sure those two got to at least second base, possibly third.
Yeah, I’m thinking there might have been some penetration there. The baseball bat was certainly trying for it.
The face or the baseball bat?
Personally I think she is more like those money bills you thought you lost only to find them one day in the pants you are just going to wash 😀
Is there a full moon in chat tonight? Slightly crazy bunch in here. Well, crazier than usual anyway.
I love Dina, how can you not? She is like a kitten. A teleporting kitten.
Dina fan club, squee like you know you must. We promise not to judge… Because we normies did the same thing already.
Look at the first panel again:
Macy’s sears dicks.
Clearly men are not welcome at Macy’s; those who dare to enter are severely punished.
Mmmm… roast hot dogs.
I’ll just leave this here…

OWCH!
Yiss
Is that who I think it is on the side of that bus? 8D
With this gravatar, let me be the first to say:
Yes. Yes it is.
Despite the gravatar, I’ve always been the Dina of my group. The quiet, awkward part, not the tiny, adorable part.
Who is always there behind every door and on every bus, lurking, lurking, lurking?
I’ve always been the strange, ignored side of Dina.
How DOES this keep happening?
MAGNETS
HOW DO THEY WORK
EM radiation.
Dina always seems to be around penis jokes…
Anyway, Dina’s presence in a story is always a good thing. She’s odd and cute.
Better penis jokes than joke penises.
Just sayin’…
DINA! <3
Sneaky girl. I like the shirt. 😀
Great, now I ship Dina/Ceilidh.
DINAAAAAAAA! somehow my favorite character, she deserves a little story too lol
Monkey Master & Dexter are watching all of you through the 4th Wall…
Dina’s on the prowl again.
speedway! I’m reading this comic at one!
College Mall! (Am I the only person from Bloomington who reads this strip? Hehe.) I don’t live in Bloomington anymore so I love seeing stuff I recognize.
Bloomington only exists in the comic–that you somehow escaped means that you escaped from the comic into the real world. Don’t worry, a car has been sent to bring you back… (cue evil laughter)
I attended IU, so I also get a big kick out of recognizing all of the sights. 🙂
I think Billy might be talking about herself, except she’s more aggressive than most dryer sheets.
Ya know, if they would all embrace the awesomeness of dinosaurs a little more, then they wouldn’t be so surprised to have Dina around.
That’s supposed to be a Citgo across the street.
On Dina, that is the best shirt ever.
Hg
I do believe I have a new favorite running gag.
Avalon reference!?
Morning. I’ve finally caught up to date with this ‘ere fine web publication and I’m enjoying it all so much it’s curiously irritating. Nice to meet you all.
Carry on.
I just got back from my 20-year reunion in Bloomington, and I just want to say how much I appreciate how many details of the city you include and get spot-on.
I feel like I need to start photoshopping Dina into other comics beat panels now…
I want that t-shirt Dina’s wearing! ~<3
Dina is just so adorkable
Ah, gotta love the Avalon reference.
