Dumbing of Age

Go To

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?

Ruth generally isn't my favorite character but Rachel just seems completely petty, given she's given her grief over something she said during freshman year.

Well, we don't know yet how the rest of that year played out.

I sadly know Walky's current mood. It sucks.

Also I thought I missed Mike but he's been back for one strip and I'm already tired of him.

Jumping from Ruth/Billie to Becky/Dina reminded me that there's no dude romances in the story yet.

I kinda hope Mike/Ethan pans out just because it'd be nice if there were at least one.

All parties should have quiet areas, but damn Dina's cute declaration!

And thus, Dina remains firmly positioned as the best character.

Well that depends on whether she ever had a birthday in which nobody bothered her at all. She likely haven't, and having the party back off and let her enjoy the day her way rather than dragging her out to "have fun" their way is a very big improvement.

.....he's going to shoot Robin, isn't he?

Even though he'll probably be aiming for Becky.

[up]Quite possibly, which would play really well in the polls, giving Robin the win.

Okay, I’m actually laughing at the background gag.

No new official polls. But internal polling shows an uptick.

They’re talking about how Becky kept asking people in the dorms to vote for Robin.

The funniest thing about this strip is the implication that Ross is still wearing a neck brace after being punched by a 90 pound teenager.

(Yes I know he was in a car crash but this is way better)

Ross's line there reminds me of a joke where an old woman refuses rescue from a disaster, insisting to everyone who offers help that the Lord will save her. She dies, goes to Heaven, and wonders why the Lord didn't save her, at which point God notes that he sent all those people to help her and she turned them down.
