Please stop telling me about that thieving webcomic app. I really really do appreciate your concern, and it warms my heart that there are folks out there looking out for me, but every webcomic artist in the world found out about it a week ago, and we’ve been getting told about it every fifteen minutes since then.

…running into exs.
y?
Y NOT! 😛
“Y NOT!”
You may run into some ZZZzzzzz….
WOBBUFFET!
…Sorry.
I z what u did there.
A now, b nice.
Mind your Ps and Qs.
Plasma. can’t beleive you didnt c the pattern. I was d pending on you.
E-mazing that yr pattern was F’d up, G 😉
You don’t need H with his keen I to see this pattern…
A pun combo with nothing but individual letters? O bloody L.
Get some OJ, K?
RRRRRR thissssss is giving me a headache, I need a cup of T.
As a man working for the CIA, I can say the POWs are treated OK. I’m hungry so I’m going to order KFC on my PDA. ETA on this is…GODDAMMIT AT&T
Because people don’t like it when you collide with them.
oh it can be quite fun to collide with exes just not the way seen above
All to true – Being in a motor vehicle is much more satisfying …. what?
She’s not positioned in the correct way to make the collision the most fun.
Lol
So very serious, Dorothy. You need some… Hijinks!
She totally needs more hijinks in her life to prevent burn-out. Besides, Walky is too adorkable not to love his distractions.
Not just hijinks, ironic hijinks!
Awkward!
“I need to look forward instead of awkward.”
Yes. That works quite well.
This is my new motto!
It should be stitched into all men’s sweater vests. This will hasten the extinction of men’s sweater vests.
until the hipsters discover that it’s ironic and start buying them.
It’s a pity that forward and awkward don’t rhyme, otherwise very quotable.
But awkward and backward sorta do!
It might also depend on what kind of accent you have.
For example, when I say backward, I pronounce it ‘back-wood’ while I pronouce awkward as ‘all-quord’.
Heh, that honestly sounds like a great accent, in my opinion.
It’s due to my distorted Aussie accent.
0.0 Isn’t that redundant or is that a variation on Glawegian??
Not exactly, while I was born and raised in Australia, I spent a great deal of after-school childhood with babysitters of various nationalities, all of them with strong distictive accents, ranging from Highland scottish to Indian, so it kinda contaminated my accent somewhat.
It’s not as obvious now as it has been a few decades since then but people still notice sometimes.
Whereas I say it like back-wurd and auk-wurd.
Wurd
.Thats pretty close to the to the way I say i and IMA ‘MERICAN. Ahem… but I guess I don’t really stress the L’s in all though.
How can you -not- stress the Ls in ‘all’? I mean… that’s all there is to that word, a bunch of Ls. Now I’m going to spend the next 8 hours trying to figure out how to say ‘all’ without stressing the Ls. My entire work day is wasted.
awwww
How are things in Merica, anyway?
Oh yeah, baby. IT JUST GOT REAL.
Seriously though, I laughed when I saw this. The situations these kids get into.
“Dorothy, why do you smell like Chicken McNuggets?
“Danny, why do you smell like booze?”
He’s a glasses magnet.
Her glasses aren’t even touching him. More like a boob or head magnet
A boob and a head magnet!? Joe must be rubbing off ole Danny boy!
How can I attain such power? Tell me please!
Man, Danny just keeps banging all the chicks in this comic.
With that grav I reflexively read all your comments in Otto Mann’s voice. It works especially well here.
Otto Mann? As it the solid holographic man from the show Automan?
The bus driver in “The Simpsons”
I totally forgotten about him, it has been so long since I watched that show.
Automan! Totally cool reference! That brings me back to bad sci-fi TV like the motorcycle version (kinda) Street Hawk.
This year, I rewatched Automan for the first time since the 1980s and while it does have a certain charm, I can easily see why it never got a 2nd season.
wait so danny is banging everyone in this universe and joe has consistenly struck out so danny is a more effective joe than joe is … something is very wrong
You are reading a very different comic, I think.
What’s this stealing app?
http://chrishanel.tumblr.com/post/19196576643/spread-the-word-updated
It’s been delisted now, so no worries [for now]
Huh, go figure.
Yes. Look forward. That is what people usually do when they walk.
It is just as well that she has got ‘airbags’ to reduce possible injury.
Well, it’s a good thing Dorothy’s airbags reduced the impact…
Because I think Danny is about to have an “accident”.
Is that what those things are for? Wow, aesthetically pleasing, able to dispense nourishment for infants, and a useful safety feature.
I hope God gave whatever angel came up with those some sort of product design award!
So boobies are proof that there is a God? I would love to hear a minister use this arguement next time he preaches in church.
Joe would be first in line to convert. I know he’s Jewish, but his true religion has always been boobs.
But Jews already believe in God, it’s Jesus that have issues with.
Not all Jews have Jesus issues. Some are basically Christians, but still keepto all the strict jewishy rules
They have two useful safety features… 1) in case of crash landings in water those with “extra added buoyancy” can be used as a floation device. 2) As seen in Dot’s crash test dummy act into Danny…
No, people don’t usually look forward when they walk. They look in every other direction possible, but rarely in the direction they’re actually going.
Stupid pedestrians.
I look down to avoid stepping in whatever the animals left on the sidewalk.
Jeez, is Danny really that tall or is Dorothy really that short? “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to look all the way down your hair.” 😀
Consistency! http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/together/
But . . . but . . . but it’s consistency, then why are her lips different colors now?
YOU’RE MESSING WITH OUR TINY MINDS, WILLIS!
She got Walky on her mouth.
Maybe she’s using a different lip gloss now.
Negative, Ghost Rider. When she goes to the mandatory floor meeting with the RA, she has dusty rose lips, upper and lower. (See strip “Pizza”.) As she is leaving the meeting, her upper lip is now brown, while her lower lip is still dusty rose. (See strip “Answer”.) Both lips were back to dusty rose the next day (“Drama”) and through the morning of the following day (“Divert”), but on her way to class the top lip turned brown again, while the bottom lip blended into her fleshtone (“Hi”) and it has remained the same ever since.
It is truly inexplicable.
Son, you have waaaaaaay to much free time on your hands. Anyway, your observestion skills have impressed me immensely.
If I were to guess, and who am I kidding, this is totally a guess, I’d say that Danny is about 5’9 or 5’10. Given the height difference between him and Dorothy, that’d make her about 5’3 or 5’4. Which, if you look it up, is average height for a woman in North America.
Behold, the power of statistics!
I am now obliged to post a Haiku….
Numbers never lie,
Science and Engineering,
Then there’s Statistics
No, just a girl who’s 5’3 and hates it when guys call her short.
i wouldn’t dare call you short… though I might pat your head a lot.
Somehow, I’m reminded of this
Only Dorothy could be pissed about being happy.
The way Dorothy’s breast looks all pointy in the last panel I feel like Danny just got stabbed…but you know, in a good way.
If sje were a lot taller, Danny would lose an eye.
Or if she were a bit shorter he’d lose a penis.
Pointy breasts are so 1960s.
Or 80’s Madonna.
Can’t wait for Danny to get FILLED WITH ENRAGING JEALOUSY… toward Walky of all people.
Who could stay mad at Walky?
Danny’s more likely to mope than get angry-jealous. Passive aggressiveness all around!
Or Danny getting filled with Walky’s raging… *’o’*
Actually Danny flipping out and physically assaulting Walky would be the craziest twist of all. Course it might also get him arrested.
you all crack me up just as much as the comics!
And then she got pregnant.
You should wear protection at all times. Never know what might happen.
Good to know that your grav is setting a good example then. 😀
Yes kern and his grav are always telling his peers that they should protect their head!
Whoops.
Welcome to Unintended Literalism Theater, with your unwitting host, Dorothy Keener.
Is anyone else getting a Kim Possible/Ron Stoppable vibe from Dorothy and Walky?
now that you mention it….
just with Monkey Master instead of Rufus and Mcnuggets instead of Nacos!
Call me, beep me, if you want to reach me?
and then the flood gates get released.
My, this looks like a sticky situation…
Dorothy, think about how HAPPY you are in the second panel. It’s OK to “waste your time”.
Depends on how much studying you need to do to get by in college. There are people who can afford to spend all their time romancin’ like Walky, and then there are the women whose academic careers he will destroy if they try to reciprocate.
I think that romancin’ is about as important to Walky as studying is.
You know, I’ve been a JoycexWalky shipper since Dumbing of Age began…but I think WalkyxDorothy is actually a much better pairing now…GAAAH
Damn thee, Joe!
You sir are mistaken
God dammit, Dotty. You really are just my Big Ex all over again. Which makes me either Walky or Danny. I’m not sure which one of those I dread more.
Apropos to nothing in this strip, but instead having to do with the poll I’ve consistently failed to notice since Sunday… I find it impossible to decide between DoA and It’s Walky.
Can’t help but notice that DoA is in the lead, followed by Shortpacked. I wonder if Shortpacked would be in the lead if the poll ran on the Shortpacked site.
Probably.
…oh, huh. Shortpacked! was in a very far lead a few days ago. Didn’t notice the dynamic switching.
I think Joyce & Walky would have far more votes if more people had been exposed to it. I wonder if they will ever become free….
The subscription comics will always remain pay in some form or another, whether in their current HTML form or in a possible future book form.
NO! everyone except Danny!
This, ladies and gentlemen, is called irony.
