Forget the guy, Ethan might just cut out the middleman in this case.
Also, do Dina’s pajama pants form a pair of dino jaws, because that is amazing. She’s a dinosaur with a dinosaur on her head, a dinosaur for legs, and sleeping on a dinosaur.
Also kind of another sexual innuendo article of clothing that Dina bought without realizing the implications, given where the dinosaur’s throat ends up being on her body…
Sleep positions are totally individual. A guy I used to date seemed none the worse for wear despite often falling asleep in positions that hurt me just to look at.
Ethan and [guy name here] come wandering into the room mid-makeout, oblivious to the world around them. They flop over on the back of the giant dino, and the rebound catapults Dina across the room.
Cue series of Slipshines (not unlike Welcome to the Fuck Zone) of people banging on the plush, earning the name Fuckface, and Malaya finds out causing extreme reptile envy.
In retrospective, Becky could have gotten all three: she could have chosen tuiton and a garantee. In that way she could have used the money to pay Leslie for a bit of rental compensation, and because of helping keep Robin away from doing homophobic stuff Leslie would support Becky.
Becky made one hell of an entrance this sequence, yeah. Dressed snazzy and defied physics to surprise-deliver a gigantic dinosaur plushie to her girlfriend, dang!
… Hmm, when I write it out like that it really sounds like a Robin kinda move.
It is not clear to me how removing Dina’s loft would free up floor space. If she wants to put the plushie ON her loft, maybe – though it’s a lot bigger than the bed frame. Such a sleeping arrangement would moreover be highly fraught, likely to lead to falls from a great height.
Isn’t the bed and the space beneath it all one unit? If you take it out, it should free up a lot of space. Don’t know if the dorms would allow that though.
I decided she means what she said – remove the entire bed/desk unit, and put the plushie in that location. This leaves her with no study desk, but I don’t doubt she can find a workaround.
Where the loft unit goes is undefined. Perhaps it can be disassembled and the pieces stored in her closet.
… Great. Now I want a giant plush dinosaur for a bed… But don’t think it’s be wide enough for the husband, toddler and preschooler to join me on… Plush pteranodon bed maybe..?
Oh my god, Dina’s pants. And damn, that DOES look comfortable. I’m glad Becky is so distracted with all the baggage attached to the plush otherwise I’m pretty sure she would beat Ethan to the punch.
I believe it came up and was clarified at some point. I could be wrong, Becky has been a regular character for like four years now, she’s been through a lot.
Amber was probably killing spiders in a game. As for Dina, she was asleep. Also Becky has learned from a true master on entering rooms of sleeping people (Joyce).
Hey Willis, don’t have a Twitter so I’ll say it here.
I’m sorry about your mom. I lost mine to cancer a couple months after my first child was born. I remember that last race through the night to where she lived, several hours away, trying to get home again so she could meet her first grandchild before she died.
We made it, and I have a photo of her holding him.
I know how awful it is to lose your mother, especially when it’s much earlier than you would have ever thought, and how long that drive to get to her is. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this; it sucks harder than just about anything else you can go through. But I’m glad she got to meet your kids, and they had a chance to get to know each other.
Wanna see something weird? Remove Amber’s reading glasses and add 40 years to her face and hairstyle: you’ve got US Senator Amy Klobuchar. Google her image for proof.
Looks like the wrong DoA cast member is running for President!
Oh, yes! I was wondering why the facial expression was so familiar — you’re right that it’s exactly like Fuckface’s.
I guess Willis has a default facial expression for dinosaurs/reptiles?
So, I was really confused with Amber’s comment in the last panel that I had to re-read 5 times before I realized it was saying Ethan was going to try to “bang a dude ON that” and not “bang a dude WITH that”.

Dinanychus Dentata
I’m just imagining the look on Becky’s face when she noticed.
I want her entire wardrobe
Now Dina and Gigantic Raptor both have dinosaurs eating their heads!!
That looks comfy
For a short while maybe, but it’s going to be murder on her back if she actually sleeps on it.
It’s ok, Dina is like a cat, she doesn’t really have a spine
Sleep positions are totally individual. A guy I used to date seemed none the worse for wear despite often falling asleep in positions that hurt me just to look at.
When you’re young, sleep position can be anything you want. A few years on, though, and the options narrow. Painfully so.
she will just turn over and sleep on its head, that’ll probably be more comfortable and it’d be like she’s hugging it all night
that thing’s surprisingly ergonomic, huh
It’s highly adjustable
the most important thing for a butt
Dina’s priorities amuse me.
hopefully not while Dina is using it
Bor-ing!~
Ethan and [guy name here] come wandering into the room mid-makeout, oblivious to the world around them. They flop over on the back of the giant dino, and the rebound catapults Dina across the room.
Man have we seriously never seen Dina below the waist in sleepwear before?
How could we have been denied those awesome jammies for so long?
I don’t believe so and I don’t know, respectively. But it is obviously an injustice of epic proportions.
I just realized that the odds are high she is wearing mind-bendingly cute dinosaur themed underwear that we will never see outside of a slipshine.
Suddenly I have very strong feelings about what the next Slipshine should be.
at least seven legit sorries
Oh noes, Becky has caught Canadian disease.
Dina is supremely relatable here, you guys.
Heck yeah! I’d start power tripping too if I got to lie on top of Dinoplushie!
Willis has provided us with two (or three) punchlines here. Great stuff.
You mean Slipshines?
Cue series of Slipshines (not unlike Welcome to the Fuck Zone) of people banging on the plush, earning the name Fuckface, and Malaya finds out causing extreme reptile envy.
The adorabloodthirsty pair of a lifetime, Dina and Dino!
tuition, a place to live, and garantee not to betray the values, pick two eh
Hey, the third one was never a realistic option anyway.
In retrospective, Becky could have gotten all three: she could have chosen tuiton and a garantee. In that way she could have used the money to pay Leslie for a bit of rental compensation, and because of helping keep Robin away from doing homophobic stuff Leslie would support Becky.
Ohhhhh, Ethan. He is such a dork.
And yeah, might be wise. Just make sure you get all the stuff from the bed/any drawers/etc. though, Dina.
*plays the theme from the Dino-Riders cartoon on the hacked Muzak*
The plushie seems happy about it.
Honestly, I’d bang a dude on a giant raptor plushie.
I have a feeling Becky is gonna bang Dina on one.
Those pants Dina has are awesome.
Dina has all the best dinosaur-themed clothing.
Dina’s somehow even slower on the uptake than I am, but for the best of reasons.
Name the raptor.
Name the raptor name the raptor name the raptor.
Forget Ethan. DINA’S going to want to bang on it.
…. um, assuming she has a sex drive. I’m kinda not sure about that.
And, not to put a too fine point in, BECKY is very aware of the idea in panel 4
This one is pretty indicative.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/03-the-thing-i-was-before/sinproofed/
to be fair, this one was like hugging a HUGE plushie to sleep and yes, all the yes to this even without any sex drive~
I think Dina declaring “YOU WILL KISS ME” is also pretty indicative.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/04-walking-with-dina/misreading/
Lots of aces and aspects people enjoy kissing.
I mean, you can like snuggling, kissing, and the way someone looks and still be asexual.
Shoulda have said this before; Becks is totally rockin’ that suit 😀
She is, she truly is.
I don’t think it’s ONLY the dinosaur that makes Dina search for words in the first strip.
Becky made one hell of an entrance this sequence, yeah. Dressed snazzy and defied physics to surprise-deliver a gigantic dinosaur plushie to her girlfriend, dang!
… Hmm, when I write it out like that it really sounds like a Robin kinda move.
Robin and Becky share several important traits.
But there are key differences. Case in point: Becky apologizes to Amber in the first panel.
And their opinion on closets. Rob’s is firmly shut in hers whilst Becky nuked hers from orbit.
It is not clear to me how removing Dina’s loft would free up floor space. If she wants to put the plushie ON her loft, maybe – though it’s a lot bigger than the bed frame. Such a sleeping arrangement would moreover be highly fraught, likely to lead to falls from a great height.
Isn’t the bed and the space beneath it all one unit? If you take it out, it should free up a lot of space. Don’t know if the dorms would allow that though.
What they don’t know, they can’t realistically disallow.
There’s a desk under there, and room to use it.
I decided she means what she said – remove the entire bed/desk unit, and put the plushie in that location. This leaves her with no study desk, but I don’t doubt she can find a workaround.
Where the loft unit goes is undefined. Perhaps it can be disassembled and the pieces stored in her closet.
Bed or Dinosaur. Dina knows what sparks with joy!
Slipshine on the dinosaur?
Slipshine-o-raptor?
imagine having to clean a giant plushie… bigger than any washing machine you’d want to use
… Great. Now I want a giant plush dinosaur for a bed… But don’t think it’s be wide enough for the husband, toddler and preschooler to join me on… Plush pteranodon bed maybe..?
Oh my god, Dina’s pants. And damn, that DOES look comfortable. I’m glad Becky is so distracted with all the baggage attached to the plush otherwise I’m pretty sure she would beat Ethan to the punch.
Wait, did Becky know Ethan is gay? I forget if that was ever established on-screen.
I believe it came up and was clarified at some point. I could be wrong, Becky has been a regular character for like four years now, she’s been through a lot.
Not explicitly, but they’ve never really interacted aside from Becky firing Ethan as Joyce’s boyfriend.
Dina looks so damn cute on that dinosaur.
I predict lots of smooches. and maybe bangin’.
Does Plush Raptor get a name or are we just gonna call them whatever?
I propose Bangasaurus, because they’re the dino you see when you wanna bang.
sexolocosaurus
Fuckyopteryx
Coitasaurus Grandiosus.
Bed.
Old Lace?
nah, been done.
Fuckface II.
Slight modification: Bangasaurus Sex.
I don’t think Dina will let Ethan have her velociraptor. Roar! Hands off! Cool pants, though.
Amber is experiencing that feeling where, despite her mental health issues, she’s still the sanest person in the room.
Meanwhile, Dina is extra-cute on Dinoplushie.
Becky has noticed
Who wouldn’t want to sleep on a giant dino plushie?
Ethan is enough of a jerk to bang a guy over a dinosaur plush that reminds him of one of the best transformers.
I know it makes for a better story if we ignore this, but
How exactly did she get that in there without Dina OR Amber noticing?
Are those two deaf while asleep? One I could believe, but both of them didn’t notice?
Amber was in the shower and Dina was dreaming sweet, sweet dreams about penteratops.
I sleep like the dead, so I could pretty easily imagine somebody pulling this off without waking me up. Especially in college
Amber was probably killing spiders in a game. As for Dina, she was asleep. Also Becky has learned from a true master on entering rooms of sleeping people (Joyce).
Knew it. Dina was in too much shock and surprise to register the whole DeSanto thing
I still think she has barely understood one third of what is going on. This will take some time, explanation and cuddles.
Especially since 90% of her brain will be busy processing the dinosaur the entire time.
Yay, called it!
DINAS SWEATPANTS??? I NEED THEM GIVE ME THE LINK
How did Becky get this thing all the way here, anyway. Delivery guys? The dorm doesnt have a front desk?
Sleeping on that seems like a good idea for the first hour. 8 hours of spine shattering muscle soreness will be less fun.
All I’m saying is that she better gave Asma a fuckload of chocolate for helping her lug that thing into the elevator.

So she’s Stacy?
Noted: the smug smile on the Dinoplushie is highly similar to that smug, “I know something I won’t tell,” smile that fuckface wears.
Oh, yes! I was wondering why the facial expression was so familiar — you’re right that it’s exactly like Fuckface’s.
I guess Willis has a default facial expression for dinosaurs/reptiles?
Ethan will bang on it, Dina will bang it, there’s gonna be a lot of banging involving giant Dinobot plush…how do you clean love stains out of plush?
So, I was really confused with Amber’s comment in the last panel that I had to re-read 5 times before I realized it was saying Ethan was going to try to “bang a dude ON that” and not “bang a dude WITH that”.
I’m not the only one jealous of Dina sleeping on top of a giant plush dinosaur, am I?
Tuition -> living on campus -> Dina and Becky living together
Very cute idea, but I’m not positive Dina would “abandon” Amber.
What’s the Dinosaur’s name?
Best panel #3 ever!
Man this comic’s cute
