ok, it’s a little obvious that’s not Dotty
unless Dotty has an inflatable chest we don’t know about
Forced perspective, lighting, the camera ads ten pounds. Dorothy can sell it!
I want Joyce to immediately know. Not just that they aren’t Dorothy’s, but correctly identify them.
“Dorothy, why are you sending me a picture of Jennifer’s breasts?”
So much this.
the ironic part is that Joyce would probably be hella turned on no matter which pic Dorothy sends XD
Whatever shenanigans are happening, I want it to continue and for Dorothy to accumulate a lot of tit pics from random passersby and then send everything at once to Joyce.
Would be hilarious and also wouldn’t put it past a girl’s dorm. I never did understand the appeal of skinny dipping in areas prone to lots of mosquitoes, but was invited several times by girls I was roomming with in undergrad (girl only events fyi). This was before everyone had smartphones with good cameras. I gave a hard pass every time just because of the mosquitoes. Those annoying bugs absolutely love me and I have no desire to offer them more flesh for their choosing.
On a completely random note, the local joke where I grew up is if you had guests staying to long at your house, you have them take a nice long walk as a sacrifice to the mosquito gods. May their flesh and blood appease the mosquito gods, so that they leave you alone.
Yes please
This happened to my girlfriend at college, she ended out besties for the next 15 years with one of the nipples she received
I’m telling you, that is not ending up with Joyce. Joyce and Joe are likely next to each other in Dlorothy’s phone. Much closer than Joe and Dorothy in Joyce’s anyway.
The funniest outcome I can think of is this:
Joe slowly pieces together why and how he was sent a lewd photo, and wonders if he should send one to the wrong person as well, out of peer pressure. Possibly not even a photo of himself.
And that’s how Danny ended up with a photo of a penis. Now, it’s plausible that Danny knows what Joe’s penis looks like, from the locker room back in high school. Maybe Joe is circumcised (he is, after all, Jewish) whereas this one is not. Joe sent Danny a dick pic, BUT WHOSE??????
Sal is right next to Danny when Joe’s message comes in. She is as mystified as he is. Especially when Danny has to explain it’s not Joe’s penis.
And that is the mystery of how Joyce Brown the Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit struck again, remotely, by accident.
First time poster, finally made a Grav so I could say thank you Gigafreak, this is perfection.
Awesome! Welcome, Dolly!
Welcome! And agreed!
It’s been pointed out that Dorothy is in Joyce’s contacts as “Roll, Perfect Cinnamon”, which is probably right next to “Rosenthal, Joe”.
Holy crap! I sent that to you? That was just supposed to be for me.
For the record, this was 100% correct. https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/02-the-one-where-jocelyne-returns/sitin/
Dorothy: “uh, it’s just that I usually wear sports bras, and I put on a push-up bra for the picture– I mean, I didn’t *put on* a different bra, I just happened to be wearing a push-up at the time and have since changed…”
Dorothy can say she was using the same vest she’s using at her first time with Walky
She’ll need to ‘shop some of those cute freckles onto that pic.
She got that bra from braceface
Wait, she DOESN’T have an inflatable chest?
… okay, help me out here. What’s she using instead of lungs?
Inhale deeply to inflate the boobs.
Jennifer why you have to be so mean?
It’s not like all of us can have boobs nearly as big as yours T_T
I just saw two bucks doing there antler-locked duel all through my yard and two of the neighbors’ yards and back again. This produced no clear winner, succeeded in scaring away the only doe that was actually watching them.
Maybe Jennifer’s whole thing is a bit like that, but less evenly matched contestants?
well as expected she asserts her antonymous position as “alpha bongo” as though her high school social schemas automatically transfer over to college
(-_-)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_programming
Big ones aren’t always comfortable, especially with stairs and exercising. All of them have a tendency to vary throughout your life cycle depending on hormones, meds, weight (loss or gain), pregnancy, etc. One of the birth controls I was put on for cramps even caused mine to vary in size throughout the month. That was the worst for knowing what clothes I could wear. Do not miss that med.
Jennifer seems to have heard of the superstition that women with huge breasts have a lot of promiscuous sex and thought “life goals.”
lol well lack of freckles aside it would be hilarious if billiefer got it ‘amazing’ in her first try (“Head cheerleader, b*tches”) XD;
Although i also half expect joyce to instantly recognize them as hers b/c she said something about “i wanna nestle in them forever” or something like that
this arc is gonna be a about a lot of titty pics
Dorothy walking down the hall each person she passes taking a titty pic for her.
I’m pleased at the prospect of Dorothy accumulating a bevy of boobs to send to Joyce.
Somehow Joe also gets added.
Dorothy sending Joyce downblouses of every woman on the floor, with her own mixed in, does make it seem more like a joke than just sending Joyce a carefully-composed titty selfie. Even if she appends “lol”!
Honestly, if this ended with Jocelyn taking one, that would be a little sweet button to this whole chapter.
Whoah. That’s kinda moving up a few weight classes in the cleavage game.
“I could crawl up into them and be safe and warm forever” ;-;
I immediately thought of this strip.
“Forever!”
Women supporting women.
That was not supportive at ALL.
Yes, she is.
She’s supporting Dorothy cheating on Walky.
I can’t remember but does Jennifer actually know that they’re back together?
Hey, between the two of them isn’t Jennifer the one who needs more support? Eh? Eh?
*jeers from the crowd; people start throwing things*
Bro. I mean, bra.
yeah like, i used to be really conscious about my being flat and still am, calling breasts “pathetic” and shit like Jennifer is doing certainly does NOT help ;-;
A roll of quarters has the same value as a ten dollar bill. The only difference is how much it weighs. Tits are the same. Big or small, doesn’t matter. Same value, different weight.
I certainly disagree that all breasts have the same value, but offer this metaphor instead: the size of the canvas does not determine the worth of the art.
If it helps, tastes on breast size can vary widely as well.
I, and quite a few others based on what I’ve seen, actually prefer women on the smaller side when it comes to size. So, just because one might be smaller, doesn’t automatically mean you’re unattractive. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
Plus, ultimately they’re just eye candy.
The REALLY important factor is whether or not YOU like what we’re doing to them.
As a femuscle admirer (and butt man) I can honestly say I prefer hard, ripped pecs to breasts.
for me it’s at least a little more a gender dysphoria thing than an interpersonal thing, but still
thanks
🥲
I didn’t say she was doing a good job of it.
Who needs bras with friends like these?
This arc is killing me. I am becoming dead.
So many ways to go wrong… but so many of those ways are hilarious, so.
Destroyer of worlds?
Death, Destroyer of Worlds…
Meet Dead, Destroyed by Words
I will steal all your socks.
This is going to end in Walky getting a dickpic from Joe or something.
Hopefully the entire cast ends up exchanging nudes, all of them unlabeled and misattributed
Something something ouroboros.
Joyce/Jennifer ship randomly unlocked.
Joyce has already shown her appreciation for Jennifer’s assets.
Safe and warm forever!
Fucking rude, Jennifer.
Very on brand for you.
right? there’s no changing she got the best breasts on campus apparently, but she don’t gotta be rubbing it into everyone’s faces :/
Did Joe’s list include a subsection on boob quality?
Joe’s list probably had subsections on everything.
Not when there are so many people who want her rubbed in their faces.
now consensual *physical* rubbing, this is okay
I’d personally say Marcie beats her, if she happens to be on campus at the moment.
I’d say actually Joyce does but it’d be pretty hard to take a photo of her boobs to send to her without her figuring out they’re not Dorothy’s
Through some contrivance, Dorothy takes a photo of Joyce’s boobs, specifically so she can send that photo to Joyce.
I laughed at this! It’s the boob-pic equivalent of the Scooby Doo hallway doors scene, with everyone running around, going in and out doors, sometimes coming from different rooms, running into each other, etc.
Jennifer must maintain alpha bongo status
Jennifer’s a giver. *sniff*
“What a guy!” (what a girl?)
“Makes you cry.” (makes me hurl?)
“Und I did.”
“Then the R.A. shoved her.
But it turned out Ruth loved her.
She said: ‘Hey! Listen to me —
Stay sane, inside insanity!’
Then Ruth locked the door
and threw away the key…”
You know, Jennifer’s obsession with bullying Walky for ten years (i.e. half of her life at this point) means that Joyce may have actually been right about her wanting him.
You don’t waste that much effort unless there’s something there.
That something doesn’t have to be a crush though, especially since Jennifer’s close with that entire family.
She pretty clearly wants to bang Sal, too.
She’s clearly attracted to Walky in small ways and hates herself for it. Just like everything else in Jennifer’s life.
They met so young that Westermark effect probably applies. It’s extremely rare to want to bang a sibling.
You don’t have siblings, do you.
They’re so clearly sibling coded that it’s weird this always comes up.
IMO it’s more likely to be a combination of envy and resentment that he’s been present at vulnerable moments of her life. (The envy being over her being neglected by her parents no matter what she did or was, whereas Walky was his parents’ golden boy no matter what HE did- although he quite obviously has a strong sense that if he fucks up he’ll not only lose his golden boy status but also that any love from his mother at all is completely conditional, but from the outside that may not be visible at all- and either way it’s still more than Jennifer got.)
So yeah, there’s “something there” but imo it’s not romantic or sexual. It’s much more complicated than that.
idk if walky has any attraction to her ,even subconsciously (since he’s like ‘we’re family’ but if walky did see a pic of it before dorothy explaining i also half expect him to ‘recognize’ them right away b/c he’s been around her for so long)
Don’t get me wrong, they are both attractive, but Jennifer isn’t what I’m always going for unless she is actually going full nerd.
She’s not a nerd.
Star Wars sex fic about fish men isn’t nerdy at all!
https://www.dumbingofage.com/curiosity/ Joyce is already a fan.
holy shit i did NOT remember that and I’m so glad you did. this is everything. MORE BISEXUAL JOYCE YESSSS
This is SUCH a great strip to see linked to in this current storyline, I’d completely forgotten about it OMG
It’s an epidemic of boobs. I hope it lasts.
Walky would get a bit wigged out getting Jennifer boobies.
Fixing my gravatar.
One more shot.
I wonder who Jennifer accidentally sent that to.
Dorothy’s phone was open on the text conversation with Joyce, so she almost certainly sent it to Joyce
One would think so, but Joyce has accidentally sent 2 pics to Dorothy while intending to send to Joe, so who knows? Hijinks know no obstacles.
I want this to somehow snowball into like half the cast sending lewd shots to Joyce with Dorothy’s phone.
“Becky, everyone else’s were covered. This is just Dina’s entire chest.”
“…Everyone else?”
Which would be funnier:
– Ruth (immediately recognise the boobs, thinks it’s some powerplay)
-Becky (also thinks it’s a powerplay) or
– Danny (very confused, Sal responds by sending back boob) pics)
– Joyce (thinks it’s from Joe, spends the whole day comically studying every set of boobs to find who they belong to)
The chaos must spread (Amber demands this). All the boobs-owners sending boobs pics to everyone else. Most are easily identifiable; some cause mysteries and discussion for days.
Booster: “while I’m flattered, how do you have my number?”
Chekovs boobs.
…hey what the fff
Joyce gets both titty pics like “the first boobs were good, the second are even better!!!”
This is why we need AI to evaluate boob prints.
What?
In order to do that you need a large collection of training data.
We’re off to a good start.
Dorothy’s building up quite the collection.
“On an unrelated note, is Sal here? I need to borrow her costume for a minute.“
Aha! I was wondering what Jennifer was doing in Read.
Head cheerleader, problem solver indeed.
Wherever there was a problem or not to begin is irrelevant, it is solved now, so declares the alpha bongo.
I see shes challenging Carla for top narcissist
It shows that she is putting the maximum effort into being one.
hey cmon I think we’re better than using a real disorder with real, complex criteria, that real people (some of whome might be in this comment section) live with every day, as an insult against two annoying/sometimes mean characters
Carla is sometimes mean and/or annoying. Jennifer fucking sucks.
They are both rad and obnoxious in different ways.
I never really understood what’s up with the word “narcissist” “narc” “narcissism” “narcissistic abuse”, etc., being thrown around everywhere these days.
I can’t even seem to find a consistent explanation for what it means or where the current usage came from.
I mean, narcissus is a lovely flower, and Narcissus was a young man who fell in love with his own reflection in the lake. Seems relatively innocuous as an example.
Seems to me that the types of callousness that I hear ascribed to narcissism could be better explained by individual situations and circumstances rather than a specific personality type.
…But perhaps I’m missing something? Enlightenment would be gratefully accepted!
A narc is a kind of rat or pig.
It’s short for “narcotics officer”, but it’s used for any undercover cop or informer, especially in the pursuit of overpolicing.
The rest, Narcissism, refer to a personality disorder in cluster B. It’s named after a personality or behavior that was recognized before psychology. There’s a stigma associated with the personality disorder because in extreme cases it can lead to dangerous and criminal behavior. But like, not always, someone with NPD can learn to fit in. Typical therapy strategies are counter-productive, though, from what I understand.
Armchair diagnosticians apply the term liberally.
Ok, wow, thank you, HueSatLight! I did NOT know all that! That makes it all clearer.
Much appreciated!
Carla’s gonna think Dorothy is collecting these and insist on adding herself to the set, as the best that money can buy.
If ya can’t grow yer own, then store bought is fine.
With a continuation of this comedic misadventure Dorothy ends up with a full collection of photographs of every set of breasts in the dorm.
Also, whatcha doing here, Jen?
As long as everybody’s are covered by a bra, nobody will get in too much trouble.
Yeah if she was a vampire, she’s way paler
So, like, is this Titty Week? Is somehow everyones chest ending up on Dotty’s phone? Then maybe through some contrivance she accidentally sends it all to Daisy?
That would be pretty damn funny even if it doesnt this is my head cannon now.
“Where are your freckles?”
“Uh…”
“And your skin tone is different.”
“Yeah…”
Why did you send me a picture of another girl’s breasts? Why do you have a picture of another girl’s breasts?”
“Oh god that’s Billie’s breasts!”
“How do you know that?!”
“We played doctor as kids”
Kids?
What a ginormous asshole.
You might wanna brush up on anatomy.
For real, those are glasses.
Dorothy on her way to completing a full cast Tittydex.
Gotta snap ’em all!
This is… Like really mean from Jennifer lmao. How recent was Asher leaving her and stuff in universe, is she still dealing with that imminently?
Asher point blank told her they were over. Last i recall, she was in Denial about it.
That’s still only the first stage of grief. She’s got a long way to go left.
Like two days ago I think? I don’t remember how long ago the party was.
Head Cheerleader, Problem Solver. She’s just not entirely sure what the problem she’s solving is.
getting bourgeois bongos like Jennifer to stop conflating allyship and friendship with unsolicited “””helping””” challenge level: IMPOSSIBLE (-_-)
I see Jennifer is still on her campaign to dethrone Mary as The Worst student.
Still got a long way to go, though.
Mary tried to get a suicidal person to kill themselves. Tall Rachel tried to finish the job. Jennifer’s awful but she is leagues behind those two.
So it looks like this is “The One Where Joyce Realizes She is Bi.”
This is the most Jennifer thing I have ever seen.
There’s a reason why Amber didn’t take a picture of hers. There just is.
Even if it’s not for Walky, Dorothy’s relationship status is confusing.
Ah Jennifer, whatever is wrong with you is so very fascinating.
There’s no problem with her. She’ll tell you so herself.
s a f e a n d w a r m f o r e v e r
Look, the politeness politics, the psychological profiling, the deep analysis of morality, they’re not fucking important or even relevant.
Billie’s tits are the wrong color and don’t have freckles, so how the fuck is Dorothy supposed to pretend they’re hers? Dorothy has smallish, perky ones with a bit of a point to them, whereas Billie has huge round ones. It’s just not realistic, from an aesthetic standpoint, that any recipient of that picture would believe the tits it portrays belong on Dorothy’s body. Not gonna happen. Billie’s a short-sighted buffoon
A short-sighted buffoon with a real pair of halabahoozas.
“Oh, these?”
Dead ass now I want to rewrite the “Go eat worms” song to be about tiddys.
“pale pointed perky ones, ittsty bitsty fuzzy wuzzy tits!”
Do it! ;-D
“Nobody likes me.
Everybody hates me.
I’m gonna go sniff BOOBS.”
Probably same line of reasoning of using a fake or wrong age profile picture on a dating site. Gets the foot in the door, figuratively.
That’s a different kinda site
My guess would be that Jennifer is assuming that a) Dorothy’s target is a guy, and b) guys just want to see big boobs and will be too busy drooling to consider whether they match the sender.
Tbf, i’m sure there are ppl who’d ‘appreciate’ dorothy’s freckles but i think most ppl woudl assume she’d use some kinda makeup/filtering app
That’s actual insanity. Who covers up perfectly good freckles? Freckles are hot.
i vaguely remember seeing a pencil liner thing where ppl can put on ‘fake’ freckles/freckle stamps, wonder how ppl who grew up with “ugly” freckles feel about that.
Well, no. You get sold insecurity so that however you look is wrong.
Oh right, Jennifer is insufferable.
Dang, you did something cool.
Anyway, let this be the reverse ding dong bandit arc.
We’re making it out of the closet with this one y’all!
This is really shitty, I honestly thought Jennifer was above petty bodyshaming, especially about parts of the body you can’t improve without surgery.
Why?
Jennifer hasn’t shown herself to be above anything yet.
ruth, sometimes
yeah, as Sal once remarked, her post-timeskip self is just about nothing more than a simple re-branding, go frickin figure (-_-)
Oh Jennifer, why are you like this? It’s totally not OK. Let’s hope she didn’t send that pic but just shoot it. For Dorothy’s collection.
She doesn’t even know who she’d be sending it to.
Unfortunately, for her that’s not a problem.
She knows it’s not Walky. That’s all that matters.
“Hey Dorothy, why did you send me Jennifer’s cleavage?”
“How did you know that was Jenny’s clevage?”
“…”
“I totally don’t know whose cleavage that is, but it sure looks like you could crawl in there and be safe and warm forever.”
…How many titty pics is the cast going to have amassed in total by the end of this?
By the end, everybody will have booby pics on the cloud except maybe Walky and Joe (They ARE the only guys in this strip, right?)
Sure if you close your eyes and pretend the others don’t exist.
A technique well know by bad faith arguers everywhere.
OMG, congrats to Danny and Jason and Ethan and Thad and Arnold and Ken and Professor Edgelord and Charles and the crooked cop and Ryan and Buckets of Blood guy and Norville and Sayid and that guy Sayid fucked and Dorothy and that straight guy who was leading the queer meet-up early on and my axe and the guy in the tan hoodie and Beef and the Dean and Hank and Sierra’s dad and Dina’s dad and the bouncer from the bar and Tyler and John and Faz and Steven!
Oh, this b-story is turning into an absolute car crash, and it will be hilarious!
You’ve heard of the Whiteboard Dingdong Craze, now get ready for the Booby Pic Epidemic!
Excellent. Now you have one photo to send and one photo keep for yourself. That’s a pretty nice pair you got. Of photos.
Jennifer still in the running for Most Self-Absorbed at the spring awards convo.
Yeah, wtf. Not sure how anybody in the comic puts up with Jennifer.
Pretty soon that number will be very low. Her boyfriend bounced. Her roommate sexiles her instead of adoring her. Etc. Etc.
Jennifer, how rude! :O
Dorothy, don’t listen to her. The boobs aren’t pathetic; Joyce will still like them.
I’m calling it, Joe is going to recognize Billies chest from his previous excapades.
Jennifer’s Axiom: Every selfie is a titty pic until otherwise proved.
Gotta catchem all
Get out here, Jennifer; you’re already outted as Bi. Now it’s time of Dorothy l.
Man billies always been a mean girl but this feels like….weirdly mean for her. I mean she’d say something this mean to walky for sure but it’s so outta pocket to call Dotty’s tits pathetic. Like damn that’s crazy
I think she’s been having a rough time– end of her relationship, start of Jacob and Lucy’s– and so she’s dealing with that by being meaner. She *can* be decent, but when things aren’t great for her, she likes to make that everyone else’s problem.
tired: Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit
wired: Sexting Bazonga Bandit
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of this comic, but…
Sometimes it’s clear that Willis writes the plot outline for a story arc, and plot outline makes them horny, and they decide that the fact that it made them horny makes the plot outline a good idea.
Yeah yeah yeah, it’s not Smarting of Age, sure, I get it, but for the friends out here in the comments section that are learning social cues from the comic: nobody behaves like this.
If people are getting their social cues, from an online webcomic, there are other serious issues at play here, beyond whether or not one should post titty pics from their phone.
No judgement, we commenter’s are a neurodiverse bunch.
As a Neurodivergent myself, I do cast judgement to anyone doing that, what the hell.
i just wanna say that if willis wanted to do something horny they have several outlets for that, i think this is just something they find funny that you might not LMAO
That is a pretty weird judgement you are making there.
Fwiw – I find this storyline interesting, and it’s not “because it makes me horny”
Okay, look, I’m just saying, this and “Dorothy gets Joyce to cum” feel like storylines born from the same “hee hee this makes me feel funny to think about” impulse.
I’ve drawn webcomics and also, separately, smut for years, too. Doing a horny plot in a non-smut comic that I didn’t realize was a horny plot until years later feels familiar to me. It’s totally possible I’m just projecting here! But also totally possible that I struck a nerve that David had to respond by screencapping me and doubling down with a social media callout.
The washing machine to achieve first orgasm thing for Joyce was definitely an odd one. Even odder that Dorothy was the one who decided to help teach her, so at least on that one I can agree.
Lol, called out? He just had fun with the weird “people taking social clues from your comic” thing. I find funny you think he could take anything you said seriously.
Plenty of people behave like this.
Is this going to be where every girl, in Dorothy’s social circle, knowing how to take a proper titty pic, but her? Is the punchline going to be Carla showing her how to take a titty pic?
Carla will have a drone swarm taking her titty pic from every angle possible
i hope dorothy sends joyce a minimum of 5 different girls’ titty pics by the end of this chapter.
joyce’s phone blows up with titty pics from all over the school
We need to have some kinda I am Spartacus moment for titties. Solidarity.
it is no longer happening. dang it
Jennifer what are you even doing in this wing today?
I hope it’s something wholesome, like telling Jason how she’ll kill him if he hurts her.
i like jennifer (in spite of everything), but rude.
can’t help but wonder if dorothy collecting cleavage pics is somehow going to end up making joyce jealous.
We don’t love Jennifer in spite of her many, many issues we love her because of them!
Fuck you, Jennifer. Just finding new ways to be worse than before.
wouldn’t they notice the lack of freckles
