Never read anything else in the Walkyverse, so I gave this comic a shot. I like, so far. Especially the current arc, with Roz defending her sexual freedom, despite some unforeseen consequences.
Anyone else reading Dumbing of Age?

I agree with that statement. I find Joyce to be the best character in this comic.
Terrible, terrible timing though. Dinah finally looked happy for the first time in the strip's entire run, and thanks to Joyce it lasted all of, what, three seconds?
...eventually, we will reach a maximum entropy state where nobody has their own socks or underwear, or knows who to ask to get them back.I did an Archive Binge of Dumbing of Age yesterday to be fully caught up and I have to say it's really good.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.
Rational protagonists make for boring narratives.
Yeah, but Billie should do SOMETHING, dammit. Ruth's been a colossal bitch to her for no fucking reason. Billie owes her, at a minimum, a punch in the taint.

That whole incident was partially born out of Billie being under stress and wanting her relationship with Ruth simplified. It makes perfect sense to me that, with Ruth retreating, Billie wouldn't see a need to pursue the matter, which would only lead to paperwork and disciplinary hearings and so on and so forth, and thus more stress.
Today in Dumbing of Age, everyone's blushing. Even Dina.
Also, Dorothy, be careful that this doesn't escalate too quickly from "just screwing around" to "trying to murder his fiancee at his wedding after he breaks up with you".
Hooray, Joyce is making progress!

The important thing is she is going forwards!
But, eh, why are we discussing yesterday's comic? There is a new strip
today, you know*.
Unless she says that she doesn't want Joyce to go through what she did, I'm betting this is going to make Amber look bad.

I get this feeling too. It is awfully easy to her to come out as a jealous ex-girlfriend.
PS:Just noticed this comic have Alt Text.
...Why do I feel this sudden urge to reread everything from the start?
