Dumbing of Age

[Seerow]

I think you mean that Danny "[did] a 180^o", not "a 360^o".

Why did they call it a xbox 360? Because when you saw it you did a 360 and walked away!

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

.... So you turned a full circle, and walked away whilst facing the xbox?

Man, I don't trust my backwards walking that much.

... I don't have anyhting to contribute. I read the comic, I enjoy it. I dunno.

Real pros do it like this.

Sorry, it's a dumb meme that trolls in WoW used to spam trade chat with. The game is to see how many people you can get to object that a 360 doesn't work that way when you say it.

It kind of seems to me that the events in today's comic couldn't happen; surely the taste would dissipate quickly, if it lingered at all. Can someone with convenient access to a significant other and booze try and replicate the results?

I can confirm that after drinking large amounts of alcohol, I have still tasted it on my breath the following day up through midday (about 12-14 hours later). So I don't doubt that the results can be replicated, it would just require Billie to drink way more than the handful of beer bottles we saw her with.

[Mewtarthio]

Or she's had a drink pretty recently. Or she's such a hardcore alcoholic that 90% of her bodily fluids have been replaced with ethanol.

Bwahahahahahahahaha! Oh, the mood whiplash.

Man, this comic really knows how to do romance.

[Randomguy]

The mood whiplash! It keeps happening!

Willis just posted the dumbiverse versions of Malaya and Ultra Car.

Shouldnt malaya be like 10-13 years old in that universe

It's already been established that the relative age of the characters in the dumbiverse can be whatever. Roz is the same age as the main cast in this universe even though she's much younger than them in the other universe.

[The Extinguisher]

I'm excited. Ultra Car and Malaya are my favourite right now. So this is great. Sure, we're not going to see them until like October, but I won't fault a man who has a buffer that long.

[idksocrates]

Carla is going to be transgender and asexual. Malaya will likely continue to be Carla-sexual.

[JadedDM]

Carla...

Car.

Wow, I am embarrassed I just only now got that.

[John Campbell]

When UC first got girled, someone in the Shortpacked! comments actually suggested that she should be called Ultra Carla. Maybe that's her roller-derby handle in DoA?

When Willis said that he was working on two new character designs, and the first was Malaya wearing skates, I was really not surprised in the least when the second was Ultra Car. Still, it's good to see her. I like UC since she got girled and gained some character depth, and was worried that she would disappear when Shortpacked! ends.

(Still hoping Leslie gets a bigger part in DoA after SP! ends. Leslie is the awesomest. Which is kind of hilarious given that she started out as a bit character literally named "lesbian", after her only notable character trait.)

The Sal, Marcie, Ultra Carla, Malaya posse is achieving dangerous concentrations of attitude.

[John Campbell]

Hey, Willis referenced me in today's DoA hovertext!

(I only gave her 30, because the other 47 were mostly obscured.)

They need a fifth and they could become power rangers.

They need a fifth and they could become power rangers.

I vote Joyce!

[Flickerdart]

I thought I understood today's comic, but then I read the title, and then I read the hovertext, and a new degree of comprehension dawned.

Substance abuse, depression and codependency, what a wonderful basis for a relationship.

[JadedDM]

I believe the appropriate response in a time like this is "Damn you, Willis!"

[John Campbell]

I figure as long as no one's dead, they're doing better than in the Walkyverse.

[Nilehus]

Yet...

On the other hand, watching Danny try to come to terms with what he learned about himself is kind of adorable.

Still, DAMN YOU WILLIS!

[Mewtarthio]

Oh, this should be interesting...

My significant other can taste beer on me for HOURS after I drink just one.

[Aolbain]

D'awww, this might actually work out
