nice of them to hunt down Asher to give him his knife back
Walky is overreacting to this if her pajamas are just like… a normal shirt.
Also FoxTrot face in the last panel
Eh, it’s a normal looking shirt but she may or may not have a bra on under. Which would probably be notable to Walky.
I’m reading it as a sarcastic “It’s not a big deal so I’ll pretend it’s a big deal as a joke” type thing.
Walky is a teenage boy. Just the idea of it is a big deal.
When I was Walky’s age I thought that no-one under forty wore pyjamas. I’m still a little bit bemused that so many people apparently do.
So what happens with this business of sharing a bedroom with a stranger at college? Do all the nocturnal nudists switch to modesty nightwear for four years, or do most people become blasé about it after a while?
Depends on if they’re Sal or not.
“I’m seventeen. Looking at lineoleum makes me wanna have sex.”
Dang, just when I need an upvote button…
Well we haven’t seen Amber below the waist here, so it could in fact be JUST a normal shirt.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/04-vote-for-robin/legitsorries/ below the waist, she’s wearing shorts
It’s the idea of what he saw, not just the sight itself.
“My pajamas have teeth.”
“Notability increased by 2%.”
“I am also atop a giant plush unfeathered velociraptor.”
“That part was already noted.”
It’s okay, Walky, I couldn’t tell either.
And I hope for Asher’s sake he’s turned things around. I know we need a new Evil Dude on campus and Willis prooooobably isn’t done injecting drama into the robbery storyline, but I’d like to think he’s left whatever rot was in his house behind.
My guess is ‘no worse adjusted than any of our major characters, probably not that much better, is not pleased with Sal’s friends staking him out because dude wtf.’
I like to imagine he’s more or less left his brother behind (or been separated from him) and now he’s majoring in social work. He’s not a fan of the blond dickbag in the back who likes to torment people for kicks. Probably about as well adjusted as the average cast member. Would probably react to stalking along the lines of ‘The fuck? I haven’t seen Sal in years. What’s her problem?’
See that’d be nice.
I’m hoping that the latest Parental Drama Reveal and the new character model on Twitter have our respective slow burn villains and immediate drama on lock. In which case Asher can be a perfectly normal dude and his only antagonistic role is going to Sal and asking her what the fuck is going on.
I’m 99% sure the new character model is Jacob’s brother, since Jacob mentioned his brother had a new baby and he’s supposed to be coming to town to see Jacob soon.
I can’t categorically prove his brother isn’t a dick, but I’ll be wishing super hard?
Oh no, I’m guessing he’s fine, it’s just that that meeting seems prime for a blowup with the Joyce’s crush/Sarah against Raidah plots.
Oh, yes, that seems like a good way for that to come to a head.
I’d like there to be a non-zero chance of him turning out like Gideon in Zootopia; apologizes for being a dick when he was younger, makes it clear that he’s grown as a person since then.
If we want to twist the knife on it, it’s also clear that he’s managed this because he had parents who supported him becoming a better person (and who could pay for a shitload of therapy), leaving the reader feeling slightly resentful of the lucky bastard who managed to develop emotional stability.
I’d like for him to have got therapy, but based on what we saw, I think it’s more likely he’d have to have been removed from his home to get therapy. I think something was very rotten in that house.
Ah, true. Parents got divorced, divorcing parent being the one who wised up about how changes needed to be made, and he’s now being raised in a less toxic environment?
I like this.
I can’t figure out where you are getting information about Asher. He’s tagged in two strips, neither of which mentions his home life, and he is not in any patreon strip that I could stumble across. Is this something on tumblr, something on twitter, maybe a book extra?
It’s hard to resist the temptation of taking over the plot yourself. Which is to say, they’re making it up.
Analyzing based on what we know of the situation isn’t the same thing as making things up. The kid was running around shoplifting, smoking, and holding up stores with a knife with his older brother with nary a parent in sight. Pretty clear something was up with him.
It’s a guess, but considering the kid seemed around Sal’s age and he’s smoking and stealing as a habit and apparently going around robbing places with his brother with nary a parent in sight, I don’t think it’s an unreasonable guess that things are off at home.
Is it just me or has Amber’s hair grown out a bit?
Just a little bit. My theorized unintentional hair arms race between Amber and Dorothy might still come true.
So long as it’s not an arm hair race.
….. not that there’s anything wrong with that, I suppose, but it’d require a major deviation on the part of both their characters to have that kind of competition.
Walky and Joe could have an arm hair race.
If he saw a hatless Dina, it’d definitely be notable enough. (But then somebody would get jealous.)
Becky would then have to challenge Walky for Dina’s hand.
Or challenge him for her scalp, at least.
Too bad they never got to their “seeing the other person in pajamas” phase.
According to Joyce, that’s third base.
Then Joyce has got pretty far with Sal.
what happened to Walky’s payama pants that look like jeans?
$5 says Dorothy either covertly or overtly got rid of them. She got him to at least take them off when they briefly broke up.
They’re in panel one.
I can only assume Walky is wearing them right now.

Someone spends too much time on Wikipedia.
about 14 years and half
So about 14 years, then.
Will the real Walkypedia have an entry for this in-universe Walkypedia?
Maybe I should check if Walkypedia is still around and if it even covers DoA.
But those aren’t pajama jeans Dina, Walky has a specific appeal that needs to be satisfied.
Pajamas probably outrank lingerie in Walky’s book.
Good.
So does a Kraft Macaroni dinner T-shirt.

[Re: alt-text]
What’s the odds that Willis’s secret porn twitter consists entirely of cute ladies wearing glasses?
Low. There would be at least one or two pics where they’re not wearing glasses, but are in the act of just beginning to salaciously don them.
Or salaciously doff.

RE: ALT-TEXT: Yeah right. We all know Walky’s search history is filled with nothing but links to stuff about McNuggets.
I’d think he’d occasionally visit McRib tracking sites. It’s important to try to get out of your echo chamber from time to time.
Dina: “Would it satisfy your notability requirements if I removed them?”
Maybe for Becky.
I don’t think it I would do anything for him unless she was wearing pajama jeans underneath
You know, it’s probably for the best if Walky and Amber don’t bang, just since it’d probably mean accidentally flashing Dina, if Sierra’s anything to go by.
“I’m more turned on by women in pajamas than lingerie; I just want to know they feel comfortable.”
I still think leland is ryan. Im probably wrong but
Could be.
No, no. Leland is Jacobs brother. If you’re going to drink the cool-aid, do it right.
I mean, we found out Ryan isnt his name.
He very well could be Leland Ryan insertlastnamehere
According to Sal, Leland’s at Yale, IIRC, whereas Ryan was attending IU.
Also, they don’t look at all alike – Ryan’s most prominent feature is that ‘half sandwich’ nose, whereas Leland has a Bob-Hope-ish ‘ski jump’.
Also, word of Willis that they’re different characters (reinforced by his drawing both of them in a picture which included all of the DoA villains).
honestly they look really similar even with the small details. cest la vie
The line between what constitutes PJs and day-wear have blurred in the recent decades, this makes total sense as many shows set far into the future like Star Trek often have people work, rest and play wearing a cross between a jumpsuit and PJs.
Spandex Dr. Denten’s pjs.
And this is one reason Walky x Dina didn’t work in Walkyverse.
Is… is Dina indignated that Walky didn’t notice that she’s in her pajamas?
Hard to say. My guess is she’s, ah, “indignated” at the idea that seeing her in her pajamas might make Walky hot.
No, I believe that, if Walky is making a written record, she feels that he ought to have the full and complete set of facts.
that does sound more on-brand for her.
Let’s be honest here: Dina’s pajamas are more awesome than Amber’s pajamas.
Well, yes. But that’s not the point.
Walky is a good brother and, given the disparity of his reactions to Amber and Dina’s sleepwear, clearly a good boyfriend!
It’ll be clearer he’s a good boyfriend when it’s clearer he’s a boyfriend.
Or he knows Dina’s already in a relationship and respects that.
I didn’t realize Amber was in her pajamas until now.
As long as you’re willing to consider a shirt and underwear pajamas. Amber clearly does.
Last two panels. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/04-vote-for-robin/legitsorries/
Walky did just barge in. On the other hand, pretty clearly no one objected.
Re: Alt Text, to be fair image searching “hot ladies in pajamas” brings up some pretty sexy results.
DoA is the only thing that comes up. Of the four DoA images, this was the only actual content image. Uhm. Well, I guess you’re not wrong or anything, but it’s definitely not what one’d expect to get from that search result.
Removing the quotation marks does offer a somewhat broader result range.
Here’s one suitable for our current Dina-based reference point: Pajama
Sexiest think I get the Victoria’s Secret website othewise it’s all Amazon M&S Debenhams & mail order catalogues.
The one-“l” lama, he’s a priest.
The two-“l” llama, he’s a beast.
And I will bet a silk pyjama
You can’t find a three-“l” lllama.

I don’t think he spelled “pajama” that way, though. (Which is a shame, because everyone knows the coolness of a letter is directly correlated to its Scrabble point-value.)
Yeah, he was American, and thus taught to spell improperly.
Americans can spell improperly better than anyone else in the world.
Noah Webster did us no favors.
Yeah, before then however you spelt it was fein.
No, Samuel Johnson’s dictionary standardized spelling before Webster was even born. Webster created the altered American spellings.
If you have the opportunity (and permission) to see someone hot in their pajamas, always take it.
I 100% believe Amber is the prettiest DoA girl. She has fluffy hair and…She’s so thicc ♥♥♥
Does Walky also understand why women find Clive Owen attractive to the point where he might just as well be attracted to him?
Not a chancer
They both took a step back, they’re not officially back together but The Spark and attraction is still there. After what happened with Sal best thing to do is to take things step by step and test the waters.
Who are they tracking down? Which guy?
Asher.
