dina was always my most favorite character in the series. she’s probably going to date mike again to show how un-innocent she is, b/c willis is a heartless person toying with our emotions
you make one little implication that an asian college girl is going to make love to a wax sculpture of a dinosaur and everyone can’t seem to get their mind out of the gutter.
Actually, it’s an obscure reference to a book that inspired a Disney movie about British nannies stealing a dinosaur skeleton from the British Museum. It was so long ago that I can’t remember the title of either book or film, but I do remember the nipple print incident and how a young bobby was trying to figure out how he’d use it to break open the case.
The end of the comic will reveal that Dina was never real and was just a mass halucination brought on by the stress of college life and the desire for someone worse at socializing than themselves.
That’s what I thought, but the alternate read of Joyce’s comment is hard to ignore, and given that expression… now I’m thinking we’re seeing the exact point where the simultaneous thoughts “Oh my lord Joyce and I think alike” and “Joyce sounds so lesbian right now!” merge and become “Wait a second, what does that mean about how I feel about Joyce?”
Is it just me or are Joyce’s two statements contradictory without a but or however in it. also I’m glad Sarah’s taking an interest in herstory instead of that chauvanistic history
“I met some pepperpots, who were actually canned squids, and they tried to kill me with their egg whisks, but I pointed my penlight that goes WHHHHHRRR at their spaceship parts, and they all died and I flew away in my phone box. It happens quite frequently.”
I have a friend like Dina (not inept, just so “transparent” he pop up unexpectedly among us often), he is a nice guy though. Much more talktative than Dina but love to “disappear” even when he’s still in the group.
Tbh friend like that is rare. They are good guys and we need to support them more. But tbh I don’t want Joyce to be the one who teach her. Maybe Walky…. ok scratch that, I will Dorothy or AmaziGirl. She need confidence, not another heartbreak.
I just realized that none of them have shopping bags; guess the trip was a bust. Billie failed at teaching Joyce to shop. (she was obviously too fixated on shipping Walky/Dorothy)
I don’t think that Sarah would have waited through a few hours of shopping before asking this question – I think the bus just barely pulled out of frame in panel 1.
Is it really so puzzling why Sarah’s blushing like that? Its not cuz she’s confused about what swaddling means its cuz that’s how she feels about Joyce. Also I find that a strange use of the word swaddling
… Anyone else get the feeling that Dina’s going to turn out to be some incredibly deviant individual with profiles on Fetlife and such? … No? It’s just me?
“It’s nice having someone around who’s less socialised than ME.” Love Joyce for a) having this moment of self-recognition and b) smiling while she says it.
Plus, there’s some really great facial expressions in this strip… you could probably create a “how-to” guide for cartoonists just from recent DoA strips!
Oh Joyce, please be friends with Dina and get in to long arguments about whether fossils were put on earth to test our faith or if dinosaurs and man coexisted. Please, please, please, please!

NO IRONY THERE OR ANYTHING
NOPE, NO IRONY HERE. NONE AT ALL. MY FACE JUST DOES THIS SOMETIMES.
OF COURSE ITS NOT AWKWARD
The dina face only contributes to this comment
DINA IS A WEEPING ANGEL!
Dammit, I blinked!
Don’t blink. Blink and you’re dead. Don’t turn your back, don’t look away and don’t blink. Good luck. *blinks*
EEEEEEEEK!
Hey Doctor, can’t you do anything about the Angels infestation? Or are you stuck in 1969 and the Angels got the Box?
Yeah, posting on the internet is hard in 1969. It requires a magnetized needle and a steady hand.
Or butterflies.
Maybe you can ask Dr Whooves help instead :p
I can hear a Joyce/Dina ship being assembled.
assembling a ship is hard. just ask mickey
I can hear a preparation for long range torpedo to sink that ship.
Wind at our backs, lads! Full sail, hoist anchor and prepare to make way! The open sea of Faen’Dom is our oyster!
Joyce…when yous say stuff like that you know all the ravenous shippers take it the wrong way.
She don’t even need to say those words. Shippers knows no bound.
She simply poured a can full of gasoline to the fire.
I think shippers would rather she pour lotion. Or hot wax, depending on what you’re into.
Scented massage oil…
This comic just sailed a joyceXsarah ship for me, actually.
*swaddle*
Is that what all the kids are doing these days?
“Hey, baby. What says you come back to my room and I’ll swaddle you until you can’t walk straight.”
If you literally swaddled them, they wouldn’t be walking too well anyhow.
dina was always my most favorite character in the series. she’s probably going to date mike again to show how un-innocent she is, b/c willis is a heartless person toying with our emotions
Willis doesn’t want to repeat himself, though.
Perhaps she’ll end up with Ruth. It’d accomplish about the same thing.
naw she’s gonna go to the museum, fall in love with the wax dinosaur figure and ave many wax dinosaur babies.
…and getting covered in ‘wax tadpoles’.
And leave nipple prints to puzzle the police.
you make one little implication that an asian college girl is going to make love to a wax sculpture of a dinosaur and everyone can’t seem to get their mind out of the gutter.
HOW CAN THIS BE? 😛
I’m not sure, but I’ll bet somebody will say something about sexism soon enough. 😉

“One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing”
“Again? That’s like what? The third time this week?”
Yes, that was the film title. Thanks for the reminder.
I can’t help but enjoy the subtext in the last panel.
The only way Joyce knows how to teach is biblically.
Hey Plas, you’re using a character from Dead or Alive, right?
Correct, Leifang to be exact.
Hey, it’s the Asian guy who works at Shortpacked! 😛
But she doesn’t look anything like Guile..Blanka or whatever his name was again.
Ky Kiske?
The end of the comic will reveal that Dina was never real and was just a mass halucination brought on by the stress of college life and the desire for someone worse at socializing than themselves.
That would explain why she rooms with Amber then.
Yotomoe is M. Night Shyamalan
Expect a rapid drop-off in the quality of his posts after his first couple of good ones.
I come from the far future year of 2013 to warn you of Yotomoe’s Avatar movie: Dina/Faz shipping!
I’m not certain what Sarah’s face is indicating in the last panel.
Mild intestinal discomfort?
That works for me. 😀
When will your laxative kick in?
When you are way too far from the nearest available stall.
Because Joyce just described how Sarah feels about Joyce. It’s a monent, they’re bonding.
oh. so that face is her brain exploding at the thought of having common ground with Joyce. Got it.
That’s what I thought, but the alternate read of Joyce’s comment is hard to ignore, and given that expression… now I’m thinking we’re seeing the exact point where the simultaneous thoughts “Oh my lord Joyce and I think alike” and “Joyce sounds so lesbian right now!” merge and become “Wait a second, what does that mean about how I feel about Joyce?”
She’s blushing because she already knows how much Dina knows of the “ways of the world.”
Bow chicka bow wow
Is it just me or are Joyce’s two statements contradictory without a but or however in it. also I’m glad Sarah’s taking an interest in herstory instead of that chauvanistic history
i blinked and dina showed up in my ro—-
In What!? Your Robe? Your Rope? Your roses? wheeeeeeere!!!???
It’s too late. Melizza’s now either got sent back in time or possibly turned into one of “them”.
Your roadhouse? rodeo? rogues gallery? roof? roundabout?
Your runabout? I’LL STEAL IT. NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
Confound that Dina! She drives me to drink!
She took you to a pub? That was nice of her.
She has a car? Then why is she riding the bus?
No, she has a bus, it’s hers. 😀
That’s like teaching french to someone two weeks after you start your first french class.
“Just have to stay one step ahead.”
So, Joyce is going to be teaching Dina to french, or finding somebody to teach her, first, before she starts Dina’s lessons?
Dina, the DOAverse verion of Derpy.
Now I’m imagining her with a derpy voice. I am quite displeased.
I don’t know what went wrong.
She needs to just start turning up everywhere. Any time there’s a crowd, Dina will be somewhere in the background.
Maybe she has her own TARDIS.
I would totally watch Dina Who.
“I met some pepperpots, who were actually canned squids, and they tried to kill me with their egg whisks, but I pointed my penlight that goes WHHHHHRRR at their spaceship parts, and they all died and I flew away in my phone box. It happens quite frequently.”
I vote Dina gets a fez. Or at least a bow-tie.
Dina should get a Stetson. Stetsons are cool.
Click the Dina tag, she appears in more backgrounds than you’d expect. At least more than I expected.
And Joyce will love her and pet her and call her Dina.
I wonder what Sarah thinks “swaddle” means.
Sliding and waddling at the same time?
It obviousely means to sweetly throttle.
Not to be a spoilsport but to swaddle is to bind up tightly with cloth.
And as we all know, there is absolutely no way to take the binding of a person in a tight cloth sexually.
That would be ridiculous. 😛
“I just want to swaddle her and teach her the ways of the world” Oh, I have a very dirty mind. “Rarr!” indeed.
I misread “swaddle” as “paddle” at first… >.>
I don’t even know where to begin with this one.
Begin from the beginning silly!
That would make sense.
Damn…I started from panel 3…no wonder I was so confused.
Start at the top and work your way down.
I feel like your comment needs porn groove…..
Bow chika wow wow!
I have a friend like Dina (not inept, just so “transparent” he pop up unexpectedly among us often), he is a nice guy though. Much more talktative than Dina but love to “disappear” even when he’s still in the group.
Tbh friend like that is rare. They are good guys and we need to support them more. But tbh I don’t want Joyce to be the one who teach her. Maybe Walky…. ok scratch that, I will Dorothy or AmaziGirl. She need confidence, not another heartbreak.
Gah no edit button:
I will pick Dorothy or Amazigirl to teach her.
WAVES OF PROGESTERONE! NURTURE THOSE GIRLS< GIRLS!
If Joyce had substituted “smack” for “swaddle”, Sarah might have a better idea. =3
I just realized that none of them have shopping bags; guess the trip was a bust. Billie failed at teaching Joyce to shop. (she was obviously too fixated on shipping Walky/Dorothy)
You sure that they’re done? That might be another building behind them… I kinda doubt that they’re not even gonna be shown shopping at all.
I don’t think that Sarah would have waited through a few hours of shopping before asking this question – I think the bus just barely pulled out of frame in panel 1.
Have you forgotten the pace this comic moves at? They have just gotten off the bus and are walking to the store.
I thought they just left the store. Weren’t they at the mall when Walky ran into Dorothy?
Gahh! Never mind. I just went back and checked. I guess that was actually a common area of the Dorm, not the mall. Oops.
This is why I like Sarah.
No Sarah that what she means.
Giggety.:-)
Stupid tablet
No that’s not what she means Sarah.
Giggity!;-)
Is it really so puzzling why Sarah’s blushing like that? Its not cuz she’s confused about what swaddling means its cuz that’s how she feels about Joyce. Also I find that a strange use of the word swaddling
… Anyone else get the feeling that Dina’s going to turn out to be some incredibly deviant individual with profiles on Fetlife and such? … No? It’s just me?
I web searched “Fetlife” and I only slightly regret it.
Dina’s clever facade ensures that no one will ever guess she is Amazi-girl…
…which is why, if shipped she must be, I think Dina should sail with Dotty, who makes a grand replacement for Mike.
Dina is a quantum waveform?
“It’s nice having someone around who’s less socialised than ME.” Love Joyce for a) having this moment of self-recognition and b) smiling while she says it.

Oh Joyce, please be friends with Dina and get in to long arguments about whether fossils were put on earth to test our faith or if dinosaurs and man coexisted. Please, please, please, please!
OMFG, please do this. That would be priceless.
I bet Joyce subscribes to this theory.
Joyce in the last panel reminds me of that “now kiss” meme.
I like how Joyce is kind of mimicking Dina’s slightly-crosseyed look in panel two.
