Once we have ‘No Dorothy’ tagged properly, we’ll then need to try to get ‘Dorothy’ and ‘No Dorothy’ in the same strip to prove what heavy duty philosophers we are.
Yeah, that’s me. (from Shortpacked, as a holiday temp worker) I think I’ve been seen once in DoA. (twice? not sure) I’m in the background of one of the early Math class strips.
I was going to say the best-case scenario is just that she overslept, then I realized for her there’s no good scenario where she ends up being late for class
It looked like she had been up all night, and we only saw her briefly at the beginning of “Face the Strange” so who knows how she spent Sunday. “Passed out from exhaustion somewhere between her last class and her councilor’s office” would be my guess.
There was a Yale rep on campus and Dorothy was able to arrange a meeting at the last minute. Her Yale scholarship is now secured. Her email to Leslie is sitting in Leslie’s inbox, which Leslie hasn’t checked in the last twenty minutes.
TECHNICALLY probably off-screen if they’re dating and stuff right now. But they haven’t kissed as far as we’ve seen! I meant moreso that Leslie definitely has the urge to kiss (and more) Anna and was hoping she’d resist her attraction due to not being ready to date yet.
There’s still a woman-fronted band called my favourite dentist is dead, but honestly I listened to just two titles back in 99 and haven’t heard of them since at least fifteen years
do you think andrea is unique? try being me there used to be 4 out of 23 in our primary school class. even when combined with my last name, there was some confusion at a competition regarding who won, because two kids with this same name stepped forward at the award ceremony
I do believe that’s supposed to be an untagged appearance of Jen/Sue/Ana – her second such in Dumbing of Age (her first was an off-screen cameo, also in this class, where we heard Roz referring to her).
On the one hand i should be very cincerned about Dorothy being late but my foresight of seeing Leslie’s relationship go down in flames is taking precedence at the moment. Although it seems like the same might be said of Dorothy(fingers crossed that’s not the case) so I guess I should just pickup some marshmallows.
my understanding is that it’s a misnomer though. it receives radio signals from a central atomic clock, but the watch itself doesn’t have an atomic time source.
Yeah, there’s a longwave radio station in Colorado that broadcats time code. If you’ve ever bought a clock or wireless thermometer that knew what time it was automatically without an Internet connection, it’s probably listening to that.
WWV is also still there on a pile of other frequencies, per the Wiki. For a certain age of radio geek, the sounds of that station can be almost hypnotic.
Time code sounds like it needs to be used as a phrase in a Doctor Who story.
(To my knowledge it has not, but I may be wrong, especially given how incomplete my exploration of the EU is.)
Lol. But “time code” totally sounds like something that should be a thing, probably 4th Doctor era or earlier, or something pertaining to the Time War.
Yeah it worked out okay, the guy had a harmless brain hemorrhage but it led to the doctors discovering a fistula in his brain. Quite honestly, according to what he wrote, he was very unlikely to survive, but he came out a-ok, he was made of Natural 20s
A lot of people are going noooo about Anna, but I’m just thinking about how Anna will be the first dating experience that wasn’t an outside (and only sometimes well-meaning,) force. Things might go wrong with Anna, but some of it will be on *Leslies* terms. It still wasn’t right to dump Mandy like she did, especially with the “not ready yet” phrase, but I kept hearing a “not yet and on my own terms.”
Oh dear; I’m thinking that Dorothy has crashed and is blacked out somewhere in a pile of books. Whilst that would look cute, it is unlikely to be healthy for her. Maybe they should send Walky to find her? I mean, it’s not as if he generally gets any benefit from attending lessons or anything…!
Honestly…she could also be skipping this class for the sake of the other one. If the other one was ‘more important’ (more credits, more relevant for her education as she imagines it to be), she might even drop it…
Though that’s probably too much theorising. Maybe she’s also just late or something, or asleep, or passed out, as other people suggested.
Have you forgotten which comic you are reading. It is Wilis here, she has probably been attacked by an interdimensional being or something. Or she fell asleep, about even odds on both.
Thinking about it, Leslie’s personal drama has sort of derailed the class for the last several months in-universe (year IRL). A little acknowledgement on her part is a nice touch.
Still say that they need to send someone to find Dorothy. I’m genuinely concerned for her health and safety at this point.
It’s pretty much a given at this point, IMO, that we’re going to have to go through some more cringingly-funny for us, sad for Leslie, before we actually get to “good for Leslie”. If ever.
Nonsense Theory: Dorothy is sitting in bed, listening to vaporwave and eating from a tub of potato salad with her hands, after accidentally getting high on her way to the bathroom.
Most of the dentists that I’ve seen have been very attractive women. Hell, even the few men who’ve been inside my mouth (in a strictly professional way) have been fairly attractive. Maybe I’m just lucky but the unattractive dentist stereotype here seems odd.
I once took a class where I didn’t show up to a single lecture but still got an A on the tests because the subject matter was so easy all I had to do was read the book.
Same. My developmental psychology class had around 150 students in it, so the professor didn’t take attendance. I went to the first month or so of lectures, but soon realized that everything they went over in class could be found in the slides the prof uploaded to the class website thing. Tests had to be taken in the lecture hall, but quizzes, assignments, homework, etc, all was online so eventually I stopped going to that class since it was sandwiched between two other classes and I liked being able to hop home to relax between. I passed with a B only because during Spring Break, the professor had two assignments due and I missed one of them because it was the ONLY time we had two assignments due in the same week.
Man I do NOT TRUST THE SEXY DENTIST. I hope she’s less of a dick than she’s seemed. I also wonder what Robin’s up to, with her ruined career and recently realized attraction to women. Is she okay?

I’M STILL IN THIS COMIC???
…might need to add a Magikap for accuracy
But are you Jen, Sue, or Ana?
yes
According to the tags you’re Sue. And the tags are never wrong (apart from the time it mistaken named Reginald the duke of thingley as Walky).
(…and that bit where Lettuce wasn’t tagged.)
Don’t forget that time Willis refused to tag the cricket. Clearly a wrongdoing of the highest degree.
Well, the tags have been wrong before.
In fact, they’re wrong now.
There should be a tag for ‘No Dorothy’. She’s right there in Panel 6.
Once we have ‘No Dorothy’ tagged properly, we’ll then need to try to get ‘Dorothy’ and ‘No Dorothy’ in the same strip to prove what heavy duty philosophers we are.
You skinned a magikarp? You bastard!
MAGIKAP
It had it coming. It knows what it did.
Was it named Kenny?
3 appearances, I think it’s time you got your own tag.
Wait, which one’s the third? There’s this one and the one where Roz confused Sue with Jen…
1. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/01-if-the-shoes-split/manhood/
2. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/prank-pulled/
2.5: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/02-that-perfect-girl/teams/
though this one is amazing b/c it’s the first time I’ve been able to FIRST my own appearance!
As soon as I saw that panel, I said, “Ooh! It’s Jen Aside!” (lucky dog!)
That grav is you isn’t it?
I hope you can make the jump too.
Yeah, that’s me. (from Shortpacked, as a holiday temp worker) I think I’ve been seen once in DoA. (twice? not sure) I’m in the background of one of the early Math class strips.
Great job on Magikap!!! *jealous*
You seem to be about as mystified about Leslie’s love life as everyone else in class.
Nice to put a (drawn) face to the name.
Isn’t that what these are for?
<—-
It’s about Becky’s romantic pursuits, obvs.
I was going to say the best-case scenario is just that she overslept, then I realized for her there’s no good scenario where she ends up being late for class
Also, isn’t this an afternoon class? Oversleeping into the afternoon seems…not ideal.
For her. Me, I do it all the time.
Okay, plus she was awake earlier in the day. I guess she could have taken a nap– either intentionally or not.
It looked like she had been up all night, and we only saw her briefly at the beginning of “Face the Strange” so who knows how she spent Sunday. “Passed out from exhaustion somewhere between her last class and her councilor’s office” would be my guess.
There was a Yale rep on campus and Dorothy was able to arrange a meeting at the last minute. Her Yale scholarship is now secured. Her email to Leslie is sitting in Leslie’s inbox, which Leslie hasn’t checked in the last twenty minutes.
So, after yesterdays fascinating digression on numbers and counting is this your way of segueing back to the realm of the imaginary?
Imaginary? No, I’m just saying that the situation might be more complex than AnvilPro was thinking.
It could be real, but I’m thinking it’s irrational.
People who insist on rationality are woefully incomplete.
(Yes, that was a math pun.)
Sorry I was busy and messed this set up
Ah. Math puns. We can always count on you to provide sum!
Well, the BEST case scenario for Dorothy to miss class is a bit more… pleasant.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/02-i-was-a-teenage-churchmouse/alarm/
My guess, she’s pushed herself so hard she’s passed out.
Dorothy’s late to class? That can’t be good.
Way to overshare, Leslie.
Way to overshare.
Well, she didn’t say if she checked her for cavities.
Oh, they checked all the cavities.
…That was horrible. I apologize. Potential sexiness of dentists aside, turns out there is no word less sexy than cavity.
I don’t know apparently moist kills it for quite a lot of people.
Challenge accepted.
“Faz”.
Colostomy.
So, to summarize:
Dr Faz and his fetish for moist colostomy … entrails off …
I’ll make it worse.
Moist Faz and his fetish for colostomy.
I can think of one word that makes this much worse … but some archaic reason I hesitate to insert it here …
Colostomy Faz and his moist fetish.
We’ve hit the point of diminishing returns, haven’t we?
and no two words scarier than “cavity search”.
Grunties. Wankel Rotary Engine.
DAMMIT LESLIE
WHY
IT’S LIKE WATCHING YOUR FRIEND DATE SOMEBODY THAT’S BAD FOR THEM
C’MON LESLIE, YOU WERE RIGHT TO TURN DOWN MINDY, WHY COULDN’T YOU RESIST YOUR URGE TO KISS ANNA? YOU SAID YOU WEREN’T READY TO DATE
WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY
WAIT WAIT SHE KISSED ANNA? WHEN?
TECHNICALLY probably off-screen if they’re dating and stuff right now. But they haven’t kissed as far as we’ve seen! I meant moreso that Leslie definitely has the urge to kiss (and more) Anna and was hoping she’d resist her attraction due to not being ready to date yet.
Dorothy late?!? That’s it!! She burned herself out studying instead of either sleeping or going with Joyce and collapsed!!
The Dorothy Standard Time.
Replacing Greenwich Mean Time as the neutral time zone.
Dot’s late? That’s even worse than dating Anna!
which word combination makes less sense, “sexy dentist” or “Dorothy’s late”
*Roz tosses a bunch of condoms into Dorothy’s room*
I take it Leslie has never seen Little Shop of Horrors. Although I don’t think Anna is physically abusive she’s still not right for Leslie.
Google image search says “sexy dentist” apparently is a thing.
If Halloween has taught us anything, it’s that anything can be “sexy”.
You can’t be correct because Faz exists.
the Great Faz is the sexiest being alive, make no mistake
As clearly shown by this chart …
… posts a picture of an (apparently) naked Faz sexily wrapped in a chart.
yeahhhh Dorothy probably fell asleep somewhere. She won’t like this when she wakes up. o-o
I guarantee that there’s at least 2 distinct flavors of dentist-related kink, one exploitative and one creepy.
This reply might’ve lost it’s way to the comment it wanted to reply, I believe
Honestly just makes it funnier to me.
Maybe it’s some sort of bondage thing.
*plays “Turn The Page” on the hacked Muzak*
Yes, I know about the dentist from Little Shop of Horrors. No, I don’t want to play that now.
Typo: –“dentist SONG”
Aw, but that song is great.
Great song, the character singing it is an evil SOB but still an enjoyable song.
Is it safe?
There’s still a woman-fronted band called my favourite dentist is dead, but honestly I listened to just two titles back in 99 and haven’t heard of them since at least fifteen years
I just love how everybody is more convinced that their watch could be wrong XD
leslie why
WHY WAS RANDOM GIRL #5 NOT TAGGED IN THE BACKGROUND?!?!
it me!
Anyway, that student in panel six needs a name.
Her design is far too unique.
andrea
That’s Ana Chronistic (the first comment) in comic form.
do you think andrea is unique? try being me
there used to be 4 out of 23 in our primary school class. even when combined with my last name, there was some confusion at a competition regarding who won, because two kids with this same name stepped forward at the award ceremony
I’m leaning toward Aiden, personally.
I do believe that’s supposed to be an untagged appearance of Jen/Sue/Ana – her second such in Dumbing of Age (her first was an off-screen cameo, also in this class, where we heard Roz referring to her).
Anajensue is kind of an interesting name.
After a bit of searching (as I mentioned before, she’s untagged herself so I had to search the “Roz” tag), I found that first cameo I was thinking of: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/02-that-perfect-girl/teams/
Note the hovertext in that strip.
For a second I thought that was Ninja Sue.
…Though that would explain how she snuck up on that Magikarp.
Was she previously not tagged? Because I see the Sue tag clear as day.
*looks at above discussion*
No, she was previously not tagged.
I was waiting for a reader to dig up her old comic for me so I could remember which of her names I gave her. I delegate!
I think the tag just sprang into existence.
Huh, she’s got a lot more appearances than I thought.
On the one hand i should be very cincerned about Dorothy being late but my foresight of seeing Leslie’s relationship go down in flames is taking precedence at the moment. Although it seems like the same might be said of Dorothy(fingers crossed that’s not the case) so I guess I should just pickup some marshmallows.
…we haven’t seen much of anna yet, so i’m holding off judgement. but i am worried for leslie.
and dorothy, what the actual hell
There are phrases you never expect to encounter in your life; “sexy dentist”, “Dorothy’s late”, “baboon bodyguard”…
I certainly did not expect “baboon bodyguard” at any stage.
Like so?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CONHKI2q-DM
Doesn’t the librarian bodygard someone somewhere (he is greatly annoyed when someone calls him a baboon, though)?
If I’m thinking of the right Librarian, he should get annoyed when someone calls him a baboon, because he is in fact an orangutan.
stable genius? Except for Mr. Ed.
Can one get a nuclear wristwatch?
They’re common enough, if you’re willing to spend the money. Atomic != Radioactive.
my understanding is that it’s a misnomer though. it receives radio signals from a central atomic clock, but the watch itself doesn’t have an atomic time source.
I wouldn’t say it a misnomer, its just an additional portable display for an atomic clock. The time is still derived from the same source.
Yeah, there’s a longwave radio station in Colorado that broadcats time code. If you’ve ever bought a clock or wireless thermometer that knew what time it was automatically without an Internet connection, it’s probably listening to that.
WWV is also still there on a pile of other frequencies, per the Wiki. For a certain age of radio geek, the sounds of that station can be almost hypnotic.
Time code sounds like it needs to be used as a phrase in a Doctor Who story.
(To my knowledge it has not, but I may be wrong, especially given how incomplete my exploration of the EU is.)
I think that’s “timey-wimey”.
Lol. But “time code” totally sounds like something that should be a thing, probably 4th Doctor era or earlier, or something pertaining to the Time War.
Well, there’s SMPTE timecode, a serial timestamp standard for broadcast video…
This post is going to get eaten by the spam filter, but…
It’s usually a misnomer, but thanks to the US military’s precise timing demands, there’s a cesium oscillator that’s small enough to be portable now.
And, there’s a couple wristwatches using it:
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/introducing-the-bathys-cesium-133-atomic-clock-watch
https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/richard-hoptroffs-atomic-watch-prototype-combines
They’re… not small, but they are wristwatches, and they are actually atomic.
From a Fallout style future because she’s SPECIAL.
Eesh, a Fallout joke? That really gets my G.O.A.T..
It’s called atomic because it uses the movement of atoms as a basis for its time keeping. Atomic just means related to atoms.
They stopped making them for some reason
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radium_Girls
Aaaa Dorothy collapsed somewhere aaaaaaaaa
Dun-dun-DUUUNNNNNHHH!
WOAH! Guys, anybody here read that Goblins comic? The Author just went through Brain Surgery!
Yeah
It… worked out okay?
Yeah it worked out okay, the guy had a harmless brain hemorrhage but it led to the doctors discovering a fistula in his brain. Quite honestly, according to what he wrote, he was very unlikely to survive, but he came out a-ok, he was made of Natural 20s
Meeting with Dorothy’s Advisor went well then
Oh no. Dorothy found a sexy dentist and is skipping class.
SCHOOL MISSER!!!
tardy, magic kindergarten, etc etc.
Eh, you know what, I’ll be happy for happy!Leslie for as long it lasts and ignore all screaming red flags.
Sexy dentist? That’s awesome. HIGH FIVE
But what about poor Mindy … oh, wait this means Robin is unmistakably available … I can’t wait for the double wedding …
A lot of people are going noooo about Anna, but I’m just thinking about how Anna will be the first dating experience that wasn’t an outside (and only sometimes well-meaning,) force. Things might go wrong with Anna, but some of it will be on *Leslies* terms. It still wasn’t right to dump Mandy like she did, especially with the “not ready yet” phrase, but I kept hearing a “not yet and on my own terms.”
Yeah just waiting, come on Willis hit me with your best shot. https://youtu.be/DlNco8nH_6Q
Oh dear; I’m thinking that Dorothy has crashed and is blacked out somewhere in a pile of books. Whilst that would look cute, it is unlikely to be healthy for her. Maybe they should send Walky to find her? I mean, it’s not as if he generally gets any benefit from attending lessons or anything…!
Since we aren’t living in the alternate world where Dorothy can’t handle the pressure and suicides, there’s nothing to worry about.
Send Joyce. She’s more motivated. As Walky would agree.
Oh nooo
Honestly…she could also be skipping this class for the sake of the other one. If the other one was ‘more important’ (more credits, more relevant for her education as she imagines it to be), she might even drop it…
Though that’s probably too much theorising. Maybe she’s also just late or something, or asleep, or passed out, as other people suggested.
Have you forgotten which comic you are reading. It is Wilis here, she has probably been attacked by an interdimensional being or something. Or she fell asleep, about even odds on both.
Are you sure this class is not about your romantic fortunes and missfortunes, Leslie? Because your students are sure learning a lot.
Omfg Leslie. You actually did it you absolute madwoman.
Thinking about it, Leslie’s personal drama has sort of derailed the class for the last several months in-universe (year IRL). A little acknowledgement on her part is a nice touch.
Still say that they need to send someone to find Dorothy. I’m genuinely concerned for her health and safety at this point.
Nah, it’s only October. More like a week, two at worst.
In Germany all female dentists are hot
Why, is there an issue with HVAC systems in dental offices there?
What if Leslie just assumes she’s dating Anna but all they did was go out for coffee (or whatever teeth-friendly alternative Anna picked)?
That would actually be both funny on a reader/meta level but sad for Leslie as a character.
It’s pretty much a given at this point, IMO, that we’re going to have to go through some more cringingly-funny for us, sad for Leslie, before we actually get to “good for Leslie”. If ever.
Kind of like, oh, PREQUEL.
Leslie floating along on a trail of hearts as Anna turns and looks back at her with a squint: “What, are you still here?”
Roz’s concern in panel one: Is it for Leslie, thinking Leslie made a big mistake with Robin more so than the.other way round? I’m sorta hoping so.
A mixture of both, I think. As matters stand, Robin and Leslie are pretty toxic for each other in many ways.
While we are on that I wonder if Robin is still sitting in that parking lot starting to accumulate moss…
Nonsense Theory: Dorothy is sitting in bed, listening to vaporwave and eating from a tub of potato salad with her hands, after accidentally getting high on her way to the bathroom.
Did she stop by the murder cave again?
Most of the dentists that I’ve seen have been very attractive women. Hell, even the few men who’ve been inside my mouth (in a strictly professional way) have been fairly attractive. Maybe I’m just lucky but the unattractive dentist stereotype here seems odd.
I think it’s more of a “how am I supposed to find them hot if I associate them with FEAR AND PAIN!?” kind of issue.
I once took a class where I didn’t show up to a single lecture but still got an A on the tests because the subject matter was so easy all I had to do was read the book.
Same. My developmental psychology class had around 150 students in it, so the professor didn’t take attendance. I went to the first month or so of lectures, but soon realized that everything they went over in class could be found in the slides the prof uploaded to the class website thing. Tests had to be taken in the lecture hall, but quizzes, assignments, homework, etc, all was online so eventually I stopped going to that class since it was sandwiched between two other classes and I liked being able to hop home to relax between. I passed with a B only because during Spring Break, the professor had two assignments due and I missed one of them because it was the ONLY time we had two assignments due in the same week.

Sexy Dental Hygenist totally a thing though
Man I do NOT TRUST THE SEXY DENTIST. I hope she’s less of a dick than she’s seemed. I also wonder what Robin’s up to, with her ruined career and recently realized attraction to women. Is she okay?
