Oh hey! Have you heard of “Stripped,” the sweet-ass film about comics? Well, it exists! And it has, holy moley, BILL WATTERSON in it (he also did the poster seen on left), plus anyone else in cartooning you can think of, both from traditional media and the web. I’m not, like, physically in it, because of camera shyness and whatnot, but I sent Dave Kellett, one of my longest-time webcomics pals and one of the bestest dudes on Earth, some art to throw in there to paper mache over my obviously-felt absence. And it’s a beautiful film. Like, super beautiful. It will cause tearflakes to come out of your eyeballs. It is masterfully done. It’s available on iTunes starting today!

“You mean, not based on Joyce-bashing?”
“…or even Joyce-would-be-rapist-bashing?”
She wants his body.
I can understand that, I sometimes wish I could swap bodies with someone else.
That’s obviousely not what he meant. He means that she wants to stuff him with sand and put him in a display case at her house.
No, I’m fairly certain she just wants to hire him to keep her safe and protected while on an adventure in foreign lands or illegal deal brokering.
Yes, that’s obviously not what he meant, just like it was obviously a joke. Good to see we’re all so good at noticing obvious things. You DID notice, right?
Pretty sure we did, yeah. Did you?
Obviously not.
+1 for the “obvious” joke.
That is the 3rd time in a row I’ve seen you with a different gravitar, I do not want to hear about body swapping from you.
“3rd”
HAHAHAHAHA.
The reason Yotomoe is laughing is cos I have changed my gravatar many dozens of times since I started posting in DoA about 3 years ago, it is true that I will recycle my gravs a lot but I also create new ones semi-regularly.
Nice Catalina avatar, by the way.
Kiitti ^_^
I was under the impression that you changed it every day. But then, I haven’t been around here long.
It can be everyday but sometimes I keep using the same grav for several days in a row but even when I do change my grav, the chances are it is a grav that I have used a number of times before.
I like the Azula one.
seconded, but personally if i could choose what
i looked like, id go for straight-out hot-girlification.
on that note, love the catalina avatar!
Thanks, if I could change my RL appearance as easily as I could change my gravatar, I would be pretty happy.
Me too. I’d like to switch bodies with Kate Beckinsale, just long enough to take a shower. With soap. Lots of soap.
My body is ready.
Quick Sarah, scholarship or Jacob body?
Can’t she just MAJOR in banging Jacob?
I’m sure there would be grants available.
Wouldn’t that be a threesome?
Not in this school. She can probably transfer over to Metropolitan Sex College 9 and keep most of her credits though.
Probably can ask joe for help to get in.
Yes, Joe is an expert at getting in.
Not in this universe.
Not according to the quote, “… had sex with at least one girl for every pair of shoes he owns.”
What if he only owns like … two or three pairs of shoes?
Isn’t the Kinsey Institute part of IU?
Depends can walky still major in watching TV?
I take it that Sarah isn’t really looking for a serious long-term relationship either then?
You never know, maybe she has dreams of waking up next to a man, hearing her 2.3 kids yelling for the bath…
Yeah fuck it, she just wants some pants-less fun!
That makes me wonder. What happened to the .7 of that 3rd kid. Are they just a head?
This joke is probably older than anyone reading these comments.
“Statistics is silly if you don’t understand it, ha ha ha.”
Hey, I don’t come to where you comment and slap the keyboard out of your hands!
On a somewhat related note, I miss watching Mr. Show With Bob and David.
Yeah, that was largely unprovoked. Sorry.
Naw. I respect your right to be a jerk to me for no reason. It’s better for me to learn to take a joke at my expense than to get all worked up. I’m not ashamed about how old my joke was. I’m proud of how dorky I am!!!!
Allow me to apologize anyway, since I don’t like what I said.
You guys are being way too civil for this to be an Internet conversation I demand a duel to the death
Seriously. I mean, earlier I was reading an article about ‘Make-a-Wish’ and the comments were all about socialist warmongers (who were apparently all in Texas).
The internet does not allow for politeness.
I don’t know, some of us are pretty old. We just wear our young hats.
“The Phantom Tollbooth” by Norton Juster (and famously illustrated by his neighbor Jules Feiffer) was published back in ’61. At one point the protagonist, Milo, encounters .58 of a boy (the average family at the time having 2.58 children), split down the middle.
Pantsless fun is the best fun after all. ^_^
Depends on the setting. Don’t want to end up in a sex offender registry like that guy with the Power Glove in The Wizard, do we?
Recently, he was asked how he felt about the situation. He replied “It’s so bad.”
The sequel to Walky makes a sex: Sarah and Jacob make a sex
A lot of the comments so far seem to be interpreting this as Sarah only wanting sex from Jacob. To me, that sudden shift in expressions says something more along the lines of “Great! I too would love a real relationship, but oh crap, I forgot I was a misanthrope and relationships are the exact thing I suck at. Now what?”
This resonates with me as someone who simultaneously longs for and is terrified by social interaction.
I dunno. Remember when she was talking to Joyce about him the first time. And she said she didn’t want to marry him, she just wanted to use his body once or twice.
Granted, marriage is a far cry probably from what Jacob is thinking but the just wanting to use his body thing told me she wasn’t interested. At least at the time. Not to say that couldn’t change.
Oops! That’s right! I forgot about this — and I just posted something like what RaijinK argues downstream. Oh well…
Sure, she says that to Joyce, whose embarrassing encouragement she’d like to discourage. Then we see her get all flustered around him like Walky around Dorothy and I don’t think it’s all just that he’s too hot for her to control herself. She totally wants a relationship, she just has a lot of anxiety over it.
And I took the last panel and look on Sarah’s face as that moment of realization that he didn’t say he isn’t gay….
I think you hit the nail on the head. Sarah REALLY would love to be in a relationship, but with her misanthropy and social anxiety, she’s afraid to reach out. Hopefully the potential of being in a relationship AND having sex with Jacob is enough to encourage her to get out of her shell.
She’s going to have to learn to talk about stuff other than Joyce though…
Maybe other people sat this down-page, but my interpretation was:
4th panel – “Yes! He doesn’t want Roz because she and Jacob want different things! He’s available to me!”
5th panel – “Wait a minute . . . Jacob and *I* also want different things. Damn.)
Problem with this reading is that Sarah has no reason to fear competition with Roz if all she wants is casual sex. Why would she have a problem if Roz got to him first? Is she really getting despondent over the thought of sloppy seconds?
It’s not “sloppy seconds,” it’s “I do not feel attractive enough to compete with a meeting of sexy torsoes and therefore clearly could not get into those pants if I strapped him down and climbed on in”
But there IS no competing if they both just want to do him a couple times. They could share! The only way Sarah being intimidated by Roz makes sense to me is if Sarah secretly wants Jacob for more than just a hookup. She’s envisioning Jacob being more or less exclusive with someone and she would rather it was herself.
That’s what she says, anyway.
“I don’t want to marry him. I just want to use him for his body once or twice.”
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-4/01-the-only-dope-for-me-is-you/dna/
And Walky is just Dotty’s fling.
I think she’s not used to the idea of such a thing, a real relationship… or even a consensual relationship
That would be sad.
There you go, Sarah.
“So… coming back to my place is out of the question?”
Jacob:”Oh so we can study up on our Biology ok.”
Sarah:”ya Biology, I guess you can say that.”
Journalism.
Sarah:oh thats great so that means you can have sex with me instea- wait a minute…
Oh man, that’s a good comic and everything up there, but now I’m really psyched up for this movie thing!
Sarah, all those facial expressions you’ve used in the past few days were supposed to keep the entire cast running for over a month.
Now everyone is just going to stand around and Stare. Dina will feel like she finally fits in!
DID YOU EVEN BRING ENOUGH EXPRESSIONS FOR THE REST OF THE CLASS?
Oh, I got more than enough expressions for the whole class. Most of em just aren’t expressions you’ll want impressionable minds to pick up. Also, several of them involve your mother.
The whole cast except Joyce. Joyce uses so many expressions she’s supplied with them separately by a entire industry devoted to mining and refining Joyce-Faces.
(Some worry that we may have already reached Peak Joyce-Face)
Poor Sarah, looks like looking for mister right now backfired. Totally a surprise on my part
I’m headcanoning Sarah as aromantic and no one can stop me! Except for Willis. And now I bet he’s going to do something to stop me, isn’t he. Damn you Willis!
“I’m headcanoning Sarah as aromantic”
I initially read that as “aromatic” and my head was going down a completely different path.
Yeah, I thought exactly the same thing, and was trying to figure out where that was going. Could be good, could be rather not so good.
Haha, understandable mistake. Though I guess being aromatic might aid her in getting Jacob’s body…
Sarah has a very large range of expressions. And too bad she isn’t looking for long term.
That is if he is playing it straight. Hard to trust a guy that says that…
“That’s just what I say to get more chicks. Can you believe they fall for that shit? FUCK YEAH I’ll be banging Roz. But only if it’s an 11-way!”
No wonder joe and him are tight.
That 11 is in binary, right?
No, he totally meant an 1011-way.
Irony at it’s cruelest. Joyce would have a field day with this.
No she wouldn’t, because being boastful is a sin.
Even if she was right about a man wanting marriage over hanky-pankies, she would NEVER rub it in anyone’s FACE.
… at least not until after marriage.
As if being selectively hypocritical is unheard of in the fundie community.
Joyce: “So, how did the thing with Jacob work out?”
Sarah: “He’s not interested in pre-marital hanky panky at all, just long term commitment and-” *ZIP!* “hey, where’d you go?”
*Meanwhile*
Jacob: “Who are you again, and why are we standing at an altar?!”
Somewhere close a ship is being constructed.
*holding hammer and nails* hmm? What you say?
“Right! What’s a cubit?”
Let’s see, I used to know what a cubit was.
Ancient cubit or modern cubit? Ancient is the distance from the tip of the elbow to the tip if the middle finger, modern is 18″ (457mm)
But this is DoA Joyce, not Roomies Joyce.
KM is right, Joyce doesn’t seem to be the type to rub “it” into somebody’s face, she would be more inclined to rub it against a boner the way God intended for her to do so. :3
…..you aren’t talking about Dinosaur skeletons, are you?
…maybe… ^_^
Whoa!! There’s a long distance between one-night stands and marriage. And a “real relationship” does not equal “here’s the ring”!
Of course not!
Really, some of the best relationships I have witnessed are between people who aren’t married, and about half of American weddings end in divorce, with about 2/3rds of second marriage divorces.
But I’m not here to ramble about “forced” marriages do to people’s religion say that they NEED to be married to experience a full relationship, media plastering marriages on almost every tv show and magazine, the government giving extra benefits to being married and peer pressure to fit into the “new norm”. I just wanna make funny comments on the internet tonight.
A “real relationship” is not just “here’s the ring” but also “and I’m not cleaning it off the bathtub again you lazy pig!”
Oh yes, Joyce is much too modest too gloat over when she’s right about things like that.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2012/comic/book-2/06-strange-beerfellows/stumped/
On an unrelated note, are these avatars going to last forever now? Because I think being Mary so long is making me a less patient person.
Who said anything about rubbing it in. I’m betting when Joyce gets word of somebody actually desiring a real relationship, she’ll probably be all over it…until pre-marrital hanky panky takes place.
Sarah still cannot compete with Joyce when it comes to making epic reaction faces.
Yeah I celebrate April Fools in September, weird right?
Depends on who you ask.
Holy shit tomorrows April first I totally didn’t notice.
Feh. I’ve been a fool all year, and I will continue to be one well after this day has past. The rest of you are just posers.
Oh right…I’m about as fun to be around as pre-enlarged heart Grinch.
The solution? Obv Ros and Sarah hookup. They are both looking for the same thing.
But Roz might get kicked out if she tries to webcam that sort of thing again.
“Oh good, I’m so glad you won’t have sex with just any-wait, what?”
But still sarah has nothing to worry about when it comes to Roz, according to the last poll 322 people think that sarah is sexeir than Roz.
I mean just look at that face she making in that last panel that just screams sex appeal…*chuckle*
Well Sarah gets bonus points because of purple lipstick, which is in my top 3 sexiest shades of lipstick…of course…my ex used to wear purple lipstick…
*cries self to sleep*
………
All excellent points
Come on, Sarah. You know it isn’t that you aren’t able to have a long term relationship. Its that last year’s attempts to establish long term connections got severely burned because you did the right thing and you’ve been bitter and withdrawn ever since. You can do this relationship thing and go to college. LOTS of people do. This doesn’t have to be the deal breaker you think it is.
Then again, if you insist on the one night stands, you know you got a willing partner in Joe. Now I’m not a fan of the guy, but its well established he has certain skills a lady in your position might be in need of.
I think this is it, Nothri — not that she wants a one-night stand, but that she’s scared of what’s involved in pursuing something more . . .
It’s not like Joe hadn’t already offered himself to Sarah, and accepted her rejection.
Don’t worry, Joe’s still ready to please the lady if she ever change her mind.
Joe’s ALWAYS ready!
“Near damn anything”?
It’s down the street from damn nothing.
Yes, having sexual relations in close proximity to everything in the surrounding area.
What’s not to understand?
But the ‘damn’ implies they are only near things that are suffering an eternal torment in a fiery afterlife. Which can’t mean anything good.
Well, yeah. Anything near premarital hanky-panky is condemned to an eternity of fiery torment. Just ask Joyce.
So I take it Jacob doesn’t suffer from sex addiction in this universe?
Well, he was going to law school before the addiction set in. So maybe he has yet to suffer it?
Just wait until Roz corners him. He’ll never be the same.
Well not Yet as long as he hangs out with Roz and joe
I like this strip. It shows Jacob’s good qualities (e.g. not a man slut), and sets up an important challenge for Sarah
In othe words, I like where this is headed.
Why is not having having sex with someone a ‘good quality’? I mean, it’s not a bad quality either. It’s just kind of an attribute.
Long term doesn’t necessarily mean serious or even monogamous. Jacob could mean that he wants a FWB type deal, except more than just sex and one-night-standing. I’ve heard of plenty of people who had longterm friendships that evolved into having sex where neither fell into the “oh shit now I’m in love and want commitment” category, and even open relationships where two (or more) people truly trusted and loved one another, but were fine with their partner(s) being with other people too, so long as they still remained close in some other way.
So… he COULD just be like “I’m only going to have sex with someone I’m dating and I have the ultimate goal of finding out if they’re “the one” that I’m going to be with forever” or “I’m saving myself for marriage because I think intimacy like that is special”… or he just doesn’t like the prospect of “get in get out and harbor no obligations” like Roz and knows any relationship in college is likely not going to last but wants something that DOES last for awhile… of which he can remain facebook friends with after it does end and still remain in contact with.
Either way, Sarah might misunderstand or completely not fit what Jacob wants. All depends on what he means, and if she asks, or just assumes that he wants more than she’s willing to give and abandons her efforts.
Yes, but the important thing is that he wants some sort of commitment, and Sarah is really not so sure about that.
Sarah is confused whether or not that this revelation is a good thing.
Wait – the reclusive Bill Watterson could make an appearance, and you couldn’t get your candy ass over shyness?
I have a few Willis photos that I could have submitted, but I’m holding them as potential blackmail material.
Maybe being with Bill Watterson is a reason to be more shy.
Maybe he’s reclusive to keep the public in the dark about his true nature.
Just had a thought. Have you ever seen Bill Watterson anfdd David Willis in the same room?
I’m afraid that a Bill Watterson-adjacent project is an April Fools joke.
wait its april fools day, that means he does want a one night stand with that one girl!
He’s a respectable man.
Quite unusual, for a buff, good looking guy.
Oh dear… he has a crush on Joyce, doesn’t he? That’s why he’s pumping Sarah for all those Joyce stories… so he can bring her a hamburger without onions…….
Sarah’s headed for a major disappointment…
On March 12, I was positive that this Jacob has the same problem as the other Jacob, but now I’m not too sure. I suppose he does, but more nuanced than that.
OWWWW!!!!!
Guns, the last member of Walkyverse Squad 48, had her hypothetical Dumbiverse design posted to David Willis’ tumblr. She is a weightlifting enthusiast, and her nickname “Guns” now is a reference to her biceps. It’s labeled April Fools, but now I am curious as to
1) what her real name is
2) if she and Jacob ever run into each other at the campus gym, and
3) if so, whether they’ve ever arm-wrestled
I voted for Danny and he’s STILL last. :r
Oh….
Oh dear. He’s a virgin, isn’t he.
So…..is Jacob saying he’s a virgin?
I’m focused on how casually he says, “She just wants to have her way with me.”
Will it be available on things that aren’t iTunes? I don’t have/want iTunes.
