You don’t have to make out with your snotty lover to get their covid though — spending a little time breathing the same air as they are is enough to spread it. ;_;
None at all, however, can be uncomfortable.
(Every now and then, I forget to refill my CPAP’s humidifier chamber, and wake up with dry nasal passages.)
Lol, I am reading this comment section directly after waking up because last night my sinuses were full to bursting and while I was sleeping this morning they decided to finally drain into my stomach, post-nasal drip style, filling my stomach with gas and nearly making me vomit when I rolled over and burped. Now I can’t go back to sleep or else I’ll have to deal with that again in a couple hours since being horizontal is only going to make the build up worse, which means I had to drop my shift at work tonight since I drive for a living and two and a half hours of sleep is not nearly enough for that to be even remotely a good idea.
We need a whole Slipshine with Amber and Joyce comparing notes, narrating who did whom and how they did it. Also commiserating on the difficulties of typing out notes one-handed (Joyce covering one eye; Amber…doing something else.)
Amber’s got the field of getting the friends all sexing each other; Joyce has the field of getting the friends all dating each other. Together, they are a devastatingly effective matchmaker duo.
Just to be clear: there wouldn’t be any dirty stuff visible to the audience, correct? Literally just a dozen or so straight pages of Amber and Joyce talking to each other like sports commentators, while the orgy proceeds just off-panel?
PERFECT. I’m in. This will be the greatest Slipshine OF ALL TIME.
I feel like Joyce might not have the best vocabulary to describe things very well, or if she does she might not be comfortable saying things out loud. That definitely doesn’t apply to Amber though, so maybe Amber has more the descriptor role and Joyce provides the hilarious reaction faces (and sounds).
Booster definitely would be, but would have a scale of interest where there is more interest if the sex involved is in some way scandalous or fraught. If one of the participants is cheating on their official partner, for instance, or if the two just have a hideously toxic relationship that just makes sex a bad idea, for instance, then Booster’s gonna be all-in.
Amber covers one eye with one hand.
The other hand is typing notes.
Amber and Joyce will compare notes later.
Their super-secret master plan to get _everyone_ hooked up with partners is coming along nicely.
((maybe ‘mistress’ plan?))
Amber handles the hormones/lust side of the hookups. Joyce handles the love sleuth/romance side.
Look, OBVIOUSLY there’s kink involving snot. I don’t have particular knowledge of it, but there so many kinks; for something as basic to the human body as snot to not have a kink attached to it would be weirder.
The original rules from the Encyclopedia Dramatica:
Rule 1: Do not talk about rules 2-33
Rule 34: There is porn of it. No exceptions.
Rule 35: The exception to rule #34 is the citation of rule #34.
Rule 36: Anonymous does not forgive.
Rule 37: There are no girls on the internet.
Rule 38: A cat is fine too
Rule 39: One cat leads to another.
Rule 40: Another cat leads to zippocat.
Rule 41: Everything is someone’s sexual fetish.
Rule 42: It is delicious cake. You must eat it.
Rule 43: It is a delicious trap. You must hit it.
Rule 44: /b/ sucks today.
Rule 45: Cock goes in here.
Rule 46: They will not bring back Snacks.
Rule 47: You will never have sex.
Rule 48: ???
Rule 49: Profit.
Rule 50: You can not divide by zero.
Rule 01: Don’t talk about /b/
Rule 02: DON”T TALK ABOUT /b/!
Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.
All other rules and numbers are subject to change, or whatever anyone wants. Anyone who says different, whatever man. Because this is my United States of Whatever.
For practice I tried to render the DOA characters names in Katakana. I’m not super good at it yet. If anyone knows japanese feel free to give me some critique. Katakana DOA names
Just according to the translate thingy on Google Lens, you’ve got:
joyce Waaki Dorotsu
amba (Biri) Jenifa beki
monkey [Sal] Sara Joe
Luz [Ruth] Jina Danni
Izan microphone Ruth [Lucy]
Kaala Reply [Leslie] jacob
robin Roz Jason
mariyah Buusta Ashaa
So, it’s mostly fine, but some of the characters’ names have interesting oddities. “Sal” being translated to “monkey” is obviously from “saru”, but I’m not sure how “Leslie” becomes “reply”. Microphone is just Mike’s full legal name of course, so I guess they don’t shorten it in Japan.
In my headcanon, Dina is at the end of a long chain of snot kisses started by Tyler and Becky is about to indirectly drain Dorothy’s nose. Sort of like coming full circle.
I know Dina has never swapped spit with anyone before Becky so it’s unlikely, but not entirely impossible.
My laptop is crapping out and thus my ability to Write Comments Gud is inhibited, which is really annoying because there’s a LOT to talk about with these last two strips re:Becky
it’s not about paying attention, “hear [girlfriend] make fun noises” is not an euphemism for sex, and it’s a weird thing to say; hence why I wanted clarification
The concentration of new and exciting sexual/romantic experimentation in this comic is starting to approach the level I am familiar with from reed college. Still outside the event horizon, but getting there.
Dina saying Amber can listen to her and Becky have sex and Amber just going “no, no…it needs boys” is such a perfect drunken conversation for them to have.
I mean, are you surprised? They put out their face, address and social security number on social media, might as well do some sexy exhibitionism while they are at it.
LGBTQ things happening to Amber keep being mentioned and we’re now crossing the point where it’s yes-or-yes added to the Chekhov’s Armory. Someone amidst the Commentariat had been proposing a Something with Booster? I kinda see it.
So far we’re here like
1- Personal tragedies as conversation starters
2- Mental health and sexual TMI convos
3- Interlocked interpersonal drama powder kegs
4- Way more booze than snacks or mixers
Yeah, this is a college party proper. I’m disappointed though, how come none of these kids actually has self-appointed themselves as a dj?
I just noticed that they all seem to have somewhat personalized boozles, possible indicating how inebriated they are.
Becky has little circles and dots.
Dina has dots, circles and little x marks (…that allergic reaction).
Amber is the only one with circles, dots, and orbits, possibly indicating dizziness.
Looking back….
I see that Danny has little circles and dots.
Ethan has a mix of little dots and little circles.
Asher only has little dots (mild inebriation?)
Sal has lots of little circles.
Are any of the current heterol couples open to voyeurism? I think Joe, before hooking up with Joyce, would have been more than happy, to have a chic, watch him bang another chic, in the off chance she gets super turned on, and joins. This current version, not so much.
Yeah, intrusive thoughts are something that can give you a lot of self-doubt, but you can definitely learn to manage them if you can remember that uncontrolled thoughts don’t make you a bad person.
(But obviously that takes time and is probably harder if you’ve gone through a lot of trauma. I don’t want to minimize Amber’s concerns, I just want to say that by itself it’s not as big a deal as she might think.)
It reminds me that one yuri doujin by Comaku where a girl invited two lesbians to make love on her bed while she stayed under it and listened because she had a fetish for sexy sounds.
never know, Amber, they might be up to trying out strap-ons
That’s some kind of sweater, right?
I think they are those identifying vests they strap onto seeing-eye dogs.
No, I think it’s a brand of tools. Wrenches and such.
Watches, tank tops, belts, and sandals.
Sweaters generally don’t have straps.
I think it’s that thing for turning off lamps. It has that song:
Strap on
Strap off
Strap on, strap off
The Strapper
“I’m a size six.”
Metric or Imperial?
You’ll have to ask a Star Wars fan if you want an Imperial strap-on
[Imperial March intensifies]
[threatening lightsaber swooshy sounds]
*plays “Imperial March” on hacked muzak*
Those glow in the dark too. The giggles as the light gets brighter and dimmer *can* ruin/enhance the mood though.
Or she’ll at least use what happens as inspiration to write a gender bent version. Just gotta get creative!
I Double Dino Dare you to lick it Becky!
Oh who am I kidding you’ll probably do it anyway! XD
*plays “Mystery Kindaichi Band” on hacked muzak*
Be careful when you make out with snotty lovers. That’s how you BOTH get covid when only one of you went to comic con!
Oh, that’s unfortunate.
Oh, don’t feel bad. It happened to my brother last year. I just remember having to deal with it.
…Yes. Yes, licking the body fluids of a recent con-goer is an _excellent_ way to contract lots of new and exciting diseases.
Crud.
CON crud
Just make sure to spend lots of time outside in the fresh air.
I literally got COVID last Friday, and still dealing with the symptoms ;-;
aww, that sucks =(
You don’t have to make out with your snotty lover to get their covid though — spending a little time breathing the same air as they are is enough to spread it. ;_;
We could ALL do with a low concentration of snot!
oh so very this
Except for Becky, apparently :V
And the first boy Dorothy kissed. Hmm maybe she paid it forward all the way to Dina?
None at all, however, can be uncomfortable.
(Every now and then, I forget to refill my CPAP’s humidifier chamber, and wake up with dry nasal passages.)
I have to augment that with a heated hose and nasal spray before sleeping, but then my bi-pap machine operates at a high pressure.
Lol, I am reading this comment section directly after waking up because last night my sinuses were full to bursting and while I was sleeping this morning they decided to finally drain into my stomach, post-nasal drip style, filling my stomach with gas and nearly making me vomit when I rolled over and burped.

Hang in there, friend.
Sympathies. I have spent many nights sitting in bed, propped up against the wall, trying to get however much ‘sleep’ I can.
New Becky kink unlocked.
Genuinely shocked its kink I /haven’t/ come across before
with THAT screen name?
What does snot have to do with golf?
Not sure if it’s just a joke but for anyone who doesn’t know, ‘bogey’ is the British-ism for what Americans call ‘boogers.’ Source: Harry Potter 🙂
Alright so weve got joyce and amber in the closet watching dorothy and walky bang
Lot of voyeurs in this comic, as it turns out.
Depending on whose room they do it in, I could see either Booster or Becky selling tickets.
And then Joyce will take Dorothy, while Amber will get Walky.
Works for me.
Just gotta say a lot of this friend group is slowly developing voyeurism kinks. Maybe Amber can watch with Joyce as all their friends bang.
Roz’s sex video made a lot of converts.
For a second there I thought the Roz in question was the one from Monster’s Inc. because, you know, she’s watching, alllwaysss watching.
I’m old, so when I hear Roz I always picture the third Baliff (after Selma and Flo) from the original Night Court.
DX that’s quite the image. Not my kink.
We need a whole Slipshine with Amber and Joyce comparing notes, narrating who did whom and how they did it. Also commiserating on the difficulties of typing out notes one-handed (Joyce covering one eye; Amber…doing something else.)
Amber’s got the field of getting the friends all sexing each other; Joyce has the field of getting the friends all dating each other. Together, they are a devastatingly effective matchmaker duo.
They should go to the pilot store and get a couple of kneeboards, if teens today still learn how to write with a pencil on paper.
“Boards”? “Pencil”? “Paper”? What are these words you use?
(is that, like, german, or something?)
Just to be clear: there wouldn’t be any dirty stuff visible to the audience, correct? Literally just a dozen or so straight pages of Amber and Joyce talking to each other like sports commentators, while the orgy proceeds just off-panel?
PERFECT. I’m in. This will be the greatest Slipshine OF ALL TIME.
I feel like Joyce might not have the best vocabulary to describe things very well, or if she does she might not be comfortable saying things out loud. That definitely doesn’t apply to Amber though, so maybe Amber has more the descriptor role and Joyce provides the hilarious reaction faces (and sounds).
Counterpoint: Joyce may not have the vocabulary to describe things WELL, but she DEFINITELY has the vocabulary to describe things HILARIOUSLY.
E.g. “Oh…oh my gosh…is he going to put his tummy wand in her BUTT-HOLE?”
It is leaning towards “Walky is observed during a sex.” or “How I learned to finally stop worrying and love exhibitionism.”
Okay so we have:
Into people watching: Dorothy, Dina?
Into watching: Joyce, Amber, probably Jennifer (based on her fantasies about bisexual men making out)
Also I’m half convinced Booster would be into it too.
Into being as far away from it as possible: Sarah.
… not because it’s sex. Because it’s people.
https://xkcd.com/563/
One person is bad enough, but sex between others is 2 people at a minimum! That’s far too much hassle.
Booster definitely would be, but would have a scale of interest where there is more interest if the sex involved is in some way scandalous or fraught. If one of the participants is cheating on their official partner, for instance, or if the two just have a hideously toxic relationship that just makes sex a bad idea, for instance, then Booster’s gonna be all-in.
You’re forgetting Joe, who I seem to recall was into Roz filming it. Add him to the “into people watching” list!
I take back what I said yesterday about finally having some drunk people I could get along with I would not be able to do so actually.
Becky: You have a cold? No we have a cold.
*comrade bugs meme* OUR cold.
Amber covers one eye with one hand.
The other hand is typing notes.
Amber and Joyce will compare notes later.
Their super-secret master plan to get _everyone_ hooked up with partners is coming along nicely.
((maybe ‘mistress’ plan?))
Amber handles the hormones/lust side of the hookups. Joyce handles the love sleuth/romance side.
Well, looks like we’ve got Amber signed up for Polymer Chain, though she’s going to have to fight Joyce for the chair.

I am also learning Japanese so I wanted to look, but the link isn’t working anymore.

Gotta say, pretty good.
the first panel is even more frightening, when you imagine how you get old, if you will inherit all mental issues from your parents….
Becky will extract all of her precious bodily fluids FOR SCIENCE >:D
gotz to get that dino DNA!!!
Somehow the comment with your katakana naming chart disappeared? Or I’m blind. Anyway, it looks good to me!
Remember that Dorothy also emptied a sinus full of mucus into her first kiss.
Joyce might want to examine what is it with her best friends and snotty kisses.
Okay, Becky, that’s not funny, it’s just gross!
No kink shaming
It’s important to remember that humor is subjective. I thought it was hilarious tbh.
Here come those drunken mistakes!
Sometimes Becky is just the female version of Walky.
Looks at comic. Sighs.
I know my duty. I know we’re all thinking it.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/02-guess-whos-coming-to-galassos/tyler/

I know Dina has never swapped spit with anyone before Becky so it’s unlikely, but not entirely impossible.
Ewwww. Snot and spit are two of the things I’m most grossed out by.
My laptop is crapping out and thus my ability to Write Comments Gud is inhibited, which is really annoying because there’s a LOT to talk about with these last two strips re:Becky
Okay no, that Grav is NOT appropriate for this
(This was meant to be a reply to my own comment above)
…did Dina just invite Amber to watch her and Becky have sex?
You’re paying attention. Good.
it’s not about paying attention, “hear [girlfriend] make fun noises” is not an euphemism for sex, and it’s a weird thing to say; hence why I wanted clarification
In the interest of due caution, she *is* pretty drunk. It’s possible she will regret saying this later. Itsalsopossibleshewontthough-
Can honestly say I’ve clever wanted to lick a booger off anyone’s face.
I can’t remember… when/who did Amber shove?
Also trying to remember. Could’ve shoved Walky during the time-skip, maybe.
I think she might have shoved him at Halloween but that is just a guess.
She pushed Walky into a table when he was going full “mike is alive and in witness protection” conspiracy theory at the Halloween party.
The concentration of new and exciting sexual/romantic experimentation in this comic is starting to approach the level I am familiar with from reed college. Still outside the event horizon, but getting there.
becky no
who hasn’t shoved walky. get real
Fair, but the point is, it’s a pattern. Many people haven’t shoved Danny.
Now I’m going to have to go back and see if she shoved Sal during the fight.
Did Amber shove Danny?
Dina saying Amber can listen to her and Becky have sex and Amber just going “no, no…it needs boys” is such a perfect drunken conversation for them to have.
Actually, she didn’t specify listen; she specified stay.
Looks like the unanticipated consequences of Halloween are still hitting.
I thought something seemed different about the page, turns out my adblocker updated or something and had turned off the whitelist :/
What’s up with the youth those days, wanting to be watched doing the nasty?
Panopticon trainees, raised by the modern internet
I mean, are you surprised? They put out their face, address and social security number on social media, might as well do some sexy exhibitionism while they are at it.
A) That’s not a new phenomenon, voyeurism and exhibitionism have been very popular for a very long time.
B) Why do you care?
C) These aren’t “the youth” they’re caricatures of people. In a comic. Exaggerated for comedic effect.
D) That does seem so much like “wants to be watched” as it does “is open to being watched” which is a subtle difference, I’ll admit.
LGBTQ things happening to Amber keep being mentioned and we’re now crossing the point where it’s yes-or-yes added to the Chekhov’s Armory. Someone amidst the Commentariat had been proposing a Something with Booster? I kinda see it.

Yeah, this is a college party proper. I’m disappointed though, how come none of these kids actually has self-appointed themselves as a dj?
DJ? Wasn’t that a 1990s thing?
how dare you
Yeah, at the very least they can dim the lights and not. XD
Becky, not gonna judge, but… EW.
Exactly. 😛
Oh, gods forbid somebody get shoved a little. Kids these days and their not wanting to be manhandled for no reason.
But who’s going to pay for fixing those weak ass walls when someone gets put through one?
Not my problem. If you want me to bother thinking about that, my fee is $100 per concern.
Amber has orbiting squeans. Is that a first in DofA?
I just noticed that they all seem to have somewhat personalized boozles, possible indicating how inebriated they are.
Becky has little circles and dots.
Dina has dots, circles and little x marks (…that allergic reaction).
Amber is the only one with circles, dots, and orbits, possibly indicating dizziness.
Looking back….
I see that Danny has little circles and dots.
Ethan has a mix of little dots and little circles.
Asher only has little dots (mild inebriation?)
Sal has lots of little circles.
I’d look for more but I don’t have time.
LOL, each character has their own unique drunken indicators akin to One Piece Laughter Styles XD
…
Dina going to sea to form her own Dinosaur Pirate crew like she is a cute little Kaido.
“Be gay, do piracy!”
do you really love your gf if you won’t eat her boogers? /s
please, just take my handkerchief

🎶 Every booger is sacred 🎶
Are any of the current heterol couples open to voyeurism? I think Joe, before hooking up with Joyce, would have been more than happy, to have a chic, watch him bang another chic, in the off chance she gets super turned on, and joins. This current version, not so much.
Oh girl, that’s not a “Still would do it.” thats… that’s a fetish.
Yeah, intrusive thoughts are something that can give you a lot of self-doubt, but you can definitely learn to manage them if you can remember that uncontrolled thoughts don’t make you a bad person.
(But obviously that takes time and is probably harder if you’ve gone through a lot of trauma. I don’t want to minimize Amber’s concerns, I just want to say that by itself it’s not as big a deal as she might think.)
I can relate to Dina, but I got her nose problem while sober. (I’m looking you, rhinitis)
REALLY? *Nobody* commenting on what Dina said in this strip??
Okay then:
Aww. That’s such a good descriptor for Dina’s desire. “The next time I want to hear her make the fun noises”, indeed.
It reminds me that one yuri doujin by Comaku where a girl invited two lesbians to make love on her bed while she stayed under it and listened because she had a fetish for sexy sounds.
This is an excellent drunk conversation. I approve.
Aw that’s sweet. And kinda really gross
