I was waiting for the day #DavidWillis came out as transgender...

...but then I found out they came out at nonbinary at some point before #DumbingOfAge.

The rivalry between Becky and Dorothy to determine who is Joyce's best friend has been replaced by a rivalry between Jocelyn and Sarah to determine who is Joyce's big sister.

Inspiration: I was learning about ASL grammar (I don't know ASL) today as a result of the last few #dumbingofage updates and discussion on them, and it appeared to my naive perspective that the thought process of composing sentences in ASL might be significantly different than in spoken english dialects.

Dorothy extends the "homewrecker" metaphor beyond the breaking point.

Oh my Cheese I love Jocelyn

#DumbingOfAge #Webcomics

(Context: In the comic, Carla and Jocelyn are both trans women. Carla's parents are big tech billionaires who support their daughter, but are still awful people in other ways. Jocelyn is part of a protest movement trying to get Indiana University to divest from drones/weapon manufacturers, including Carla's Parents' company.)

Today's #DumbingofAge #comic really tickled me. I love Carla, I love that Willis wrote her as trans from the beginning. I've loved Joyce's clueless attitude towards Carla. I genuinely laughed out loud this morning reading it.

Five years of #HRT and I can completely agree on being impatient.

In today's Dumbing of Age page, we have just Walky and Danny. Two major characters, so there's probably a lot of pages with just Walky and Danny, right?

WRONG!
In the alt-text, Willis says

These two haven't been alone in a strip together since 2012

this is dumb but it was stuck in my head so now you get to see it too. I modified an old #DumbingOfAge comic for the current situation:

I just got a package from @[email protected], and I needed to stage all the magnets on my refrigerator door before transferring them to my designated Willis magnet repository in my bedroom. I'll post a photo when they make it upstairs... #DumbingOfAge

oh dang

Willis disabled comments on tonight's Dumbing of Age, _and_ closed them on yesterday's Dumbing of Age.

(the one that went up tonight is technically tomorrow's, and "yesterday's" is technically today's, because they go up at midnight Eastern time.)

things musta got real _something something_ in the comments (over 1000 comments, yikes, yep), and I can't remember the last time this happened

#DumbingOfAge

I know it's a day late but oh well screw it With Dumbing of Age turning 15 years old, thought I might as well make a little prank game to celebrate! XD Introducing Horse Race Test: Dumbing of Age Edition! 🐴🏳️‍🌈 ngpz.dev #webcomic #webcomics #dumbingofage #horseracetest #gamedev

Dumbing of age blog is down...
usually it's short.
And It's happen ,that's life ...
it's just I haven't read it today ....

#dumbingofage

One of the few web comics I still read is dumbing of age. It’s really solid and it shows that he’s been writing comics for over two decades (maybe three, I think DoA is at least a decade old now.)

Anyway, today’s hit home.

BTW, if you like comics, long-running webcomic "Dumbing of Age," currently has an arc about several major characters dealing with issues of gender identity, sexuality and sexual orientation right now that I think will resonate for some here. To be true, they do that all the time, but Big Developments seem to be happening this time. It's a funny comic soap opera about college kids of all stripes, and well worth a look.

Hey, any Dumbing of Age readers in my follows?

I got Willis to give permission for follows from the Fediverse:

@damnyouwillis.bsky.social

Yes it's a Bluesky account but I asked him to turn on the Bridge so I could follow him without getting a BlueSky account and he did. So you can too!

(BlueSky? Bluesky? I think it's officially a lower-case "s" but most of the people I know on it capitalise it, and also it reads too much like "brewski" if that S is lower case.)

anyway

webcomics!

Speaking of my struggles remembering names, after bouncing off once, I've been reading and generally been enjoying the webcomic Questionable Content. But there are SO many characters, and I still can't keep them and their stories straight. Doesn't help that some of the character designs aren't very distinctive. Wish they used character tags like my other favorite soapy webcomic, Dumbing of Age.

Today's #DumbingOfAge comic made me cry.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/02-the-one-where-jocelyne-returns/sis/

I know Joyce has grown in her acceptance of other people, but I was still expecting some sort of awkwardness, some deer-in-the-headlights response, perhaps some overearnest speech. I was not expecting casual acceptance. It was so so sweet.
And Joceylne reminded me of just how precious newly hatched eggs are, and how much they need to be protected.

Yesterday I finished book 4 of #DumbingOfAge, and decided to make a chart of everybody's¹ relationships.

Unfortunately, the #AltText character limit is too low for a proper description, so Instead I'll describe it in the replies. #Alt4Me

To the best of my ability, this chart is correct as of the end of book 4. Spoilers, obviously.

¹not quite everybody

#charts #DumbingOfAgeComic

When I started reading #DavisWillis' #webcomics the beginning, I did some stuff with #bash to put all the comics in order. Reading #Shortpacked and #DumbingOfAge in tandem can be an interesting experience. Today I had the experience of Joe simultaneously giving Robin mature advice on relationships while bragging to Danny about the chick he nailed last night, and trying to decide if Roz is an 8 or a 9. #whiplash
