Dumbing of Age

They wouldn't' have worked anyway. He's a little too country, she's a little too rock and roll.

Now I want to know what music genre the rest of the cast are.

More like the other way around, wasn't it?

He willingly chose to start playing the ukulele. There is NOTHING rock and roll about that kid.

Ever heard Amanda Palmer, or the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain playing “Smells Like Teen Spirit”?

Heck, I'm pretty sure Spotify gave me a ukulele cover of Master of Puppets once.

Yeah, that's about my limit as well.

Ah, that's a character trait I can identify with.

There's no shame in admitting you need to drop out of a social thing to recharge.

Does Amber even want to get back with Danny in the first place?

Probably, yeah.

So they did it by themselves after all

Oh no, Walky, that's how they get you. It's always the seemingly-nice people!

She happened

Billie needs some Menacing hiragana next to her.

Billie really is refusing to learn from any of the character building moments the plot keeps handing her. Like, when is she gonna hit rock bottom and realise that this party girl lifestyle isn't going to make her happy?

I think it's more about trying to dull the pain she's in.

We are seeing that realization. And Billie, like every alcoholic before her, is dealing with it by trying to drink it away.

Some people just never end up changing themselves for the better until it's too late. You can never tell for sure until it happens, but Billie looks to be heading down that road at the moment.

So how long before everyone else gets here?

Someone call Dwayne Johnson, cause Billie's story is only ending one way.

And so Lucy shows better consideration for relationships than most people in this comic

Oh my god, it's a reasonable person! I didn't think we had those!

So, filling in the dedicated "Token Sensible Person" role, hm?

Unless she goes full "Nice Girl" on him later

The comic is not called Smartening of Age she gotta have a emotional maturity blind spot somewhere.
