    thanks, I hate him

    1. anon

      seriously, is there no on security campus after all that’s happened, if not ruth on stand by or so

      1. Clif

        He just did that while she was standing next to Becky. He is toast.

        1. Mark

          We’re gonna need a mop. Oh, and we should also clean up the cereal.

        2. Ed Callahan

          More like a wet-dry vac.

        3. Leadsynth

          Robo-Vac to the rescue!

      2. thejeff

        No, there is no campus security. Not in the sense of guards stationed everywhere.
        There are police, who can respond when called in, but they’re not there to interrupt every altercation between students.

      3. Darkseide

        Security is terrified of everyone on Campus or something

    2. Dibullba

      In the wise words of Joe Swanson… ahem:
      “Let’s waste this dick”

    3. Deanatay

      In one fell SWAP, he managed to not only piss off Dina and all her friends, but her ENTIRE comment section fanclub. He is not long for this world, or any other.

      1. Deanatay

        Or maybe it’s a SMAP. I think SWAP would have worked better, but he’s the artist.

      2. DJTsurugi

        it’s pretty funny seeing the entire comment section in complete agreement to this asshole and his impending doom. ~<3

    4. TuffoRaffica

      Incelerator made a massive mistake. Nobody fucks with Dina’s cereal and gets away with it… she’s gonna kill him

    5. Decidedly Orthogonal

      He’s not a super villain Joyce. A villain, to be sure, but there is nothing super about this basement-breather.

      1. Firseal

        There’s not enough presentation in the world to make this guy super.

  2. NGPZ

    awe HELL NO!!!!

    that how low yo gonna go?

    BOI ya better be quick ya gotta be fast!

    dino digga gonna MAUL YO ASS!

    this ain’t no show this ain’t no con

  4. Proxiehunter

    So who kills him first, Dina or Becky?

    1. Coatl

      Possibly both attack at the same time.

      1. NGPZ

        *DOOM Music kicks in on hacked muzak*

        1. Coatl

          yup

        2. Opus the Poet

          +1! XD.

        3. Jon

          @NGPZ I have long wished to hack into shopping mall muzak, or box store muzak if we no longer have shopping malls, and replace it with the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society “Scary Solstice” albums. Production quality is high and most people might not even notice the difference, for a while.

        4. Michael Steamweed

          HPLHS does very good stuff. Shoggoth on the Roof is also great music.

        5. Durandal_1707

          My muzak hacking fantasy, back when I was in retail, was to place strategically placed censorship bleeps.

          Famous last words:

          “But I’m the good guy.” –Incel or later.

      2. Whirlakitty

        While you’re focused on the Dina in front of you, the Becky attacks from the side.

    2. anon

      Becky kills him, then Dina drags the body with her down the street undetected

      1. TCS

        My vote was originally Dina mauls him, but your idea makes more sense.

    3. OBBWG

      He is impaled by Joyce when Becky, Dina and Joe push him backwards onto her spoon.

    4. Decidedly Orthogonal

      Neither. While he’s focused on Dina, the attack will come from the sides, from her friends he never even noticed was there.

    5. Comic.phile

      I actually vote Joyce.

  5. shadowcell

    oh wow we’re gonna see a murder

    1. Doctor_Who

      Pretty sure messing with Dina’s cereal makes this legally a suicide attempt.

      1. Opus the Poet

        +1!

      2. FlyingFish

        Are we in Ankh Morpork jurisdiction?

    2. EmperorGreed

      He’s gonna *wish* he fought the 6’6″ jacked dude

    3. Lokitsu

      “And to this day, the police still haven’t recovered the body. This is Dateline, thanks for watching.”

  6. Regalli

    Apropos of nothing, and certainly not the mauling to come, I like Dina’s sweater.

  7. Sirksome

    The Incelerator seems likely to have a very short villain career.

    1. Ben

      Who IS this dork?

      1. Clif

        Didn’t we establish it was Sal in disguise.

      2. Sirksome

        Looking through his newly tagged and established archive, his very first appearance involves him calling Danny gay and him and his buddies about to beat him up unprovoked…So I guess he’s just kind of always been an asshole. It’s kind of interesting he somehow morphed from a stereotypical jock type complete with letterman jacket to self identifying as an incel. Six months of college really did a number on this guy. I guess getting regularly beaten by women does stuff to your mental.

        1. Buck Ripsnort

          I thought we’d already established he was one of the kidnappers? The arc of this comic is long, but it does eventually lean towards justice.

      3. NGPZ

        “IU student, homophobic dudebro Blaine hired for the kidnapping”,

        there, tombstone finished, what are we talkin about?

  8. morhek

    Big mistake. You’ve let Becky out of your sights. The attack will come, not from the front, but from the side…from the lesbian you didn’t even know was there.

    1. HMRC4EVR

      You win the internet tonight

      1. morhek

        I’m not the first to make it, haha.

  9. Nono

    oh he mad

    1. jeffepp

      You misspelled dead.

    2. Bryy

      how dare a woman be lesbian.

  10. aeromechanicalace

    Whelp, time to destroy this guy.

  11. brionl

    Now Carla skates in from out of frame and destroys him for daring to be a skate themed supervil.. I mean dork.
    FINISH HIM!

    1. anon

      Either that, or somehow “Nightguy” some how shows up, slips on dina’s cereal and crashes into him either successfully or brings enough attention for a crowd to gather round/line up to kick this guy’s ass lol

  12. StClair

    fuck him up, Dina.

  13. TrueVCU

    Yeah i gotta call you back, it’s on

  14. Shakes

    Getting that logo engraved on a tombstone is gonna cost a lot.

    1. Michael Steamweed

      Incel guy doesn’t deserve a tombstone. No recognition at all; just bury him in some shallow unmarked grave out in the desert.

      1. staszu13

        There’s a desert in Indiana?

        1. NickG

          If Dina and Charlie hold hands they’ll get to a desert eventually.

        2. Shadowsnail

          We can settle for a burial under the dessert station in the cafeteria.

        3. Casi

          No, that’s too sweet for him

        4. Mark

          Maybe the Dunes?

        5. Regret

          Technically deserts are determined by their precipitation levels, so technically any place with a roof is a desert.

        6. Michael Steamweed

          Technically correct.

          Which is the best kind of correct.

  15. VolticEXE

    Hate how I can’t say this isn’t unrealistic nowadays, but I am happy its still very much hateable & I look forward to him getting humbled his ass beat later in the comic.

    1. anon

      Honestly i’d half expect everyone to always have pepper spray or a bat like Sarah’s on hand at all times given all the shit that’s went down before

  16. Opus the Poet

    Bad move, she’s already killed once.

    1. Laura

      Who?

      1. Clif

        Jocelyne

        1. Laura

          Now I’m even more confused…

  17. RassilonTDavros

    Welp, he’s fucked.

    Not in the way he wanted, thankfully.

  18. Sirksome

    Interesting that Incelerator recognizes Dina and not Joyce considering they were both part of the kidnapping and Dina’s whole gimmick is not being noticed. Maybe his goggles give him advantage on perception checks.

    1. JA

      It’s much easier to remember threats/scary things/stuff that kicked your ass.

      1. Sirksome

        Did she beat him up? I don’t actually remember who hit who in that event.

      2. Azrael

        I think he’s fixating on her because she’s the smallest, and theoretically the weakest link.

        Joyce carved a chunk out of his buddy’s face, while Jocelyn is clearly related to her, Joe is a buff dude three times his side, and Becky is clearly of Irish descent, and thus will devour his soul after ripping off his leg and beating him with it. Thus the dinosaur is the “safest” target.

    2. anon

      Maybe they’re actually in some classes together if he’s saying ‘too good at too many things’ rather than only being into dino facts, or something happened recently where she got picked over him grades/achievement wise?

    3. Doopyboop

      I bet it’s because of Joyce’s glasses. Like Clark Kent! Slap glasses on someone, they’re completely unrecognizable. This guy’s pretty method.

      1. Miri

        Especially since they untied Joyce first when they were left their teeth on the basis that an angry Joyce is FIERCE…

    4. Wereg

      I guarantee you it’s the glasses. It’s just a silly enough reason for him to not recognise her.

      1. Kimi

        I would be amused if Jocelyne takes off her glasses and he mistakes her for Joyce.

    5. Hof1991

      Joyce is with a man, her proper place. That’s why the dudebro doesn’t see her.

      1. Plain Marie

        Oo. This.

    6. thejeff

      Her gimmick is not being noticed, but she’s also distinctive once you’ve noticed here, with the dino hat and all.

    7. Laura

      I believe she corrected misconceptions about dinosaur arm strength to him:

      https://www.dumbingofage.com/2020/comic/book-10/03-when-it-crumbles/escapees/

    8. Byron Orpheus

      Maybe he’s drunk.

  19. Golden Yak

    And he wastes food!

    1. Clif

      It was the worst that he could do.

  20. JA

    Joe, sit this one out. Let Dina cook.

    And by cook, I mean let her eat.

    And by eat, I mean eat his face.

    1. Needfuldoer

      “The dinosaur girl wasn’t supposed to eat MY face!”, sobbed the manchild who voted for the Dinosaur Girls Eating Peoples’ Faces party.

  21. Newlland(Henryvolt)

    You know I was going to ask what’s this guy’s villain origin story. Like did he date a girl that far more skilled and talented then him who then picked a hobby that involved rollers skates and then she realized she was out of his league?

    That was what I was gonna ask but then I checked the tags and I realized You got punched by amazi-girl a lot and I figured maybe he’s just into getting punched by strong wemon and this is just a cry for attention since she hasn’t been that active lately.

    1. anon

      https://www.dumbingofage.com/2020/comic/book-10/03-when-it-crumbles/noshow-2/ based on this i think he’s been a ‘villain’ for a while too far gone to have a ‘redemption arc’ compared to like Asher

  22. Cholma

    “You done messed up now, Ay-ay-ron!”

  23. Acebender

    Now you’ve done it. You don’t touch Dina’s cereal.

    1. Coatl

      Your gravatar matches the comment

  24. Dean

    Hmm yes, clearly a case of suicide.

    1. Clif

      The only question now is what direction the attack comes from.

      1. Wraithy2773

        The answer to that is “Yes”.

        1. Miri

          I was voting for surprise Joyce attack because being dismissive of her, dismissing Becky’s existence, Lesbian Wives, and upsetting Dina by spilling her cereal tips her over into rage mode – but I wanna change to your answer now…

        2. Clif

          I don’t think we should rule out Jocelyne.

      2. Mark

        All three.

  25. Switchchris

    I hope Becky decks this guy in the face… or kicks him in the dick… and then Dina jumps on him like a velociraptor and beats him up.

    1. BarerMender

      I hope he gets arrested for assault with a hate crime brevet.

    2. Regret

      All that happens and then Becky and Dina go to jail for five years.

  26. Icalasari

    Whelp, he’s dead

  27. Alongcameaspider

    To shreds you say…

  28. Clif

    Incidentally, well done alt text.

  29. John Campbell

    Hope he didn’t need those viscera for anything.

  30. Newlland(Henryvolt)

    Also yeah you don’t fuck with a person’s Cocopuffs, dudes going to get a foot “incelerated” into his ass.

    1. NGPZ

      them dudebro just bought himself a one-way ticket on the ass-whoopin’ express!!!

      full steam ahead WOOT WOOT!!!

  31. Jeff Harris

    *in Morgan Freeman voice*
    In hindsight… it should be known… that this was the start… of the worst day… in this dumbass’s entire life.

    1. Opus the Poet

      You left out “short”; entire, short, life. Does Dina still have that velociraptor toe claw? The one she threatened Robin with at the party?

  32. ADLegend21

    Oh you just pissed off a Raptor there buddy.

  33. mindbleach

    Becky’s about to learn what a dude’s face tastes like.

    1. BadRoad

      greasy, I assume

  34. DEAD MEME

    I’ll prepare the funeral arrangements

    1. Clif

      Optimistic to assume there will be enough left for a funeral.

      1. Rosstifer

        Optimistic to assume anyone would attend.

  35. Coatl

    Oh my…no way out for you boy.

    1. anon

      how was he and the other guy not kicked out after the kidnapping went down, tho i guess they had rich connections. tho i wonder if carla or asher would get involved with school donations to change some things but i guess that’d be too ‘easy’ of a solution

      1. Coatl

        Nothing has been explained so far, but it seems more likely that Asher had something to do with it.

        1. James

          Why would Asher care about helping this guy?

      2. Zero

        What makes you think they weren’t? My school was a gated campus, but most aren’t. Jocelyn just walked right into the dorm building, after all. You don’t have to be a student to be present.

        1. thejeff

          certainly true, but more importantly, kidnapping doesn’t just get you banned from campus, but serious criminal charges. In this case, probably including accessory to murder.
          This dude’s still around because he didn’t get caught.

        2. Mark

          OTOH there might have been enough evidence to get him banned but not enough to prosecute.

        3. thejeff

          Theoretically, I guess, but it seems a bit of stretch: Caught on the scene, multiple witnesses.
          Simpler assumption is that he got away.

        4. Casi

          While true, if you are expelled from a school, usually that includes being trespassed from the property.

        5. Zero

          But then you can just come back, until someone recognizes you.

      3. thejeff

        He escaped.
        He’s probably still wanted by the cops, but wasn’t identified.

  36. Taigan

    <>
    “So, you have chosen… death.”

  37. James

    I see he has chosen death.

  38. Mr. Random

    … yeah, he’s gonna get away and Dina’s going to close a door she was behind to raptor him.

  39. Reltzik

    I mean, next to and slightly behind this guy IS the place you should be if you want to stick a knife in between his ribs.

    …. and that would be wrong. …ish.

    1. Proxiehunter

      Incredibly wrong.

      Less chance of missing your mark and hitting bone instead or of getting your knife stuck if you put the knife in his kidney. Then ideally you twist before pulling out to increase blood loss.

  40. Risky

    My money is on the next page starting with Joe, Dina, and Becky just sitting on this dude, hogtied with a cereal bowl for a hat. The punchline is that maybe the noise in panel two wasn’t just a fart.

  41. UrsulaDavina

    Willis is going to have to pull a Squirrel Girl (or Raptor Girl in Dina’s case) beacuse the carnage will be so flgreusome it needs to be off pannel.

    1. UrsulaDavina

      I don’t know how my auto correct put fl in front of gruesome I can understand the f beacuse its right next to g on a qwerty key board pattern but L is three letters to the right. My phones autocorrect has absorbed my dyslexia and amplified it.

      1. Miri

        I think autocorrect couldn’t work out if he’d be flayed or flambéed gruesomely but was trying to help?

      2. Deanatay

        I assumed you tried to type “f’ing gruesome” and autocowreckeded

  42. Skewbrow

    That went from pathetic and bad to pathetically bad in no time. Joe will take this guy out. Not ruling out the possibility that one of the girls will be faster. Campus security may be the third (or the fourth) to arrive at the scene.

  43. Derek

    I suppose we’re meant to be shocked, appalled and offended that Dina was infringed upon, but honestly this guy has all the intimidation factor of a my litte pony villain, not even one of the season-finale double episodes; but a one-episode pest.
    I’m about as scared of him as I am scared of the Flim Flam brothers.

    Dina is not in danger, this is a waste of time.

    1. Charles Phipps

      Why would you assume the point of him is to be scary?

      1. Jon

        [i]He[/i] thinks the point is for him to be scary. He fails, of course, but so do the Gravy Seals, and they think they’re scaring us too.

    2. Jeremiah

      He isn’t mean to be scary, he is mean to an asshole. He isn’t “infringing” on Dina her and we aren’t mean to be worried about her. He is just being a dick for no reason and we are meant to want Dina or someone else smack him down or otherwise humiliate him for being a dick. But I honestly I assume you don’t actually care and you just wanna complain.

      1. Buck Ripsnort

        He’s there to arouse our mob instincts. He’s a wrestling heel jobber.

        1. Proxiehunter

          And he’s about to get squashed,

  44. Bryy

    I assure you all that is, in actuality, not an exaggeration of how these people act or think.

    1. TerribleTransit

      The thoughts may be on point, but the costume-wearing, roller-skating, and talking loudly about it in a public space where they know they’re likely to be shouted down instead of an insular online space are slightly abnormal

      1. Cybersnark

        Honestly, the roller-skating is the only new part.

        1. VicMortimer

          Yeah, gonna have to agree there. They’re putting on costumes (sometimes with actual Nazi symbols) and marching down the streets in groups now.

          And they aren’t getting punched in the face nearly enough.

  45. Masumi

    Oh it is ON! Only question is who will get him first. I vote dinosaur attack.

  46. staszu13

    And so we bid a less than fond farewell to the Incellerator, true name not relevant, as Joe and/or Becky reduce him to beefsteak tartare (Berthold Brecht reference)

    1. eh, whatever

      For (presumably) some reason, he was a Bertolt.

  47. Pocky

    This guy is dangerously within biting distance

    1. Aquila

      Hompk!

      1. Deanatay

        If Dina’s neck suddenly extends three feet and she bites him on the nose, I will feel a momentary spike of sympathy for the Incelerator. It will pass, but I still don’t want to feel that.

  48. Derek

    And honestly this is what I meant a couple of days ago when I said this whole character really doesn’t do it for me: because incel/MGTW/PUA types don’t dress up in silly costumes and say silly things in a crowded cafeteria to someone in front of all her friends (one of whom was already getting confrontational).

    They’re cowards, so they wait to corner someone alone and then tell her (usually her) that women deserve to be raped and pushed into the garbage, often because they want to get a reaction, they want to make someone else feel like shit so they themselves can feel big and powerful.

    I won’t feel any catharsis from seeing this guy get decked tomorrow or in the next few strips, it will be a hollow gesture, just like his entire character.
    I did feel catharsis and relief when I saw Ryan get a glass to the face, followed by a bat; because his actions did closely follow the actions of rapists in real life. He was a scary, believable character, which lent a lot of weight to his actions and how they affected the people he targeted.

    1. Charles Phipps

      I don’t think the point of this guy is to be scary.

      The point of the guy is to make light of an idiot.

      1. Derek

        see the problem is that the main reason anyone cares about incels at all is because their hate group has inspired more than one mass murder event. if they were just idiots then they wouldn’t be so prominent

        they’re not JUST idiots, they’re often dangerous idiots. and therein lies the problem of portraying bigots as bumbling ineffectual buffoons. They might be two of those things, but if they’re ineffectual, how come men like this are often successfully changing laws to fit their ideology?

        1. Charles Phipps

          Incels didn’t invent misogyny, which has existed since before Babylon and been a central tenant of both Eastern and Western societies. They are, however, a recent incarnation of it.

          And Mel Brooks said it best, paraphrased, “I realized when I was a boy that Nazis didn’t care about being scary and evil. Instead portray them as the ranting idiots they were and maybe people won’t be eager to try out their ideology again.”

        2. CJ

          Unfortunately, he was wrong. Current election results in the USA and Germany prove that.

    2. Lilith

      i think part of the whole deal is that this is a comic universe where actual costumed heroes and villains exist, specifically around this campus. he also happened to use to be a lackey for one mention costumed villain, and it makes sense that one of the many impressionable college-aged goons that blaine hired would seek to try to emulate him in some way. he isn’t mean to be an intimidating representation of real-life harassment like ryan was, he’s meant to be a joking nod towards the absurdity of some of the setting’s features while also poking fun at the people of that particular “ideological persuasion” who *do* try to start shit when the cards are very stacked against them. assholes can be scary because some of them get you when they’re vulnerable, but sometimes assholes just don’t have as much bite as they think they do.

      1. Opus the Poet

        The worst thing they could is point and laugh.

        1. Byron Orpheus

          Go in for a selfie without asking and give him rabbit ears, the message being that Incelerator is completely harmless. He wants to intimidate, but he looks like a dork and is treated as such.

    3. eh, whatever

      I really don’t think the point of this comic is to make the readers feel catharsis.

      I think the point of this comic is to watch people dumbing of age.

  49. Rocketboy1313

    “Like Fuck I don’t”

    Welp, I identify with Joe more now than I ever have before. I am the giant guy in my friend group going back years and was briefly a cop in my early 20’s I have been the guy to tell assholes to shut the fuck up in a parking lot before. And yeah, sometimes you really want to get into a fight with some asshole like this.

    1. Zero

      Becky, Joyce, and Dina have fought *real* supervillains. They’re kind of just disregarding this guy. Only Joe is taking him seriously.

  50. Vukodlak

    And that’s when she killed him your honor.

    1. CianM1301

      Case dismissed!

      1. butting

        She was guilty, I was dead! Now what d’you think that ol’ judge said?
        “Ah, that’s just the way the girls are down in Texas IU! Case dismissed!”

        Ry Cooder wrote this loser’s obit YEARS ago

  51. Doug D

    Some people just don’t spend enough time on fire.

    1. 3oranges

      What better place for the Incelerator than the incinerator?

  52. AbacusWizard

    EXTINCT HIM, DINA

    SHOW NO MERCY

    1. eh, whatever

      extinguish?

  53. Jammy

    Can the punchline be the real world where he gets put in handcuffs for disturbing the peace? Fingers crossed for good luck.

    1. NGPZ

      the numba ya need here aint 911,

      it 1312

      1. Laura

        Hmm?

    2. BarerMender

      Assault? Hate crime?

    3. thejeff

      If one of them recognizes him as one of the kidnappers, it could be for a lot more than disturbing the peace.

  54. Queen Anthai

    Oh he dead

  55. Freezer

    Which leads to the real question: Who gets to Rollerdouche first – Joe, Becky, Amazi-Girl or Dina herself?

  56. Chaucer59

    Well, he’s clearly about to get his ass kicked. I’m going to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed if he turns out to be some kind of über-masochist who gets off on being trounced in public.

    1. Freezer

      There was such a villain mentioned in Watchmen. He committed crimes just so he could get beaten up by a costumed hero. A career that came to an abrupt end when Rorschach threw him down an elevator shaft.

  57. Kim

    <3 The alt-text ☺️✨

  58. jmsr7

    This arc is surprisingly timely. With Trump’s victory, misogynists have been crowing “Your body, my choice!”

    Dan was this spontaneous, or did you plan this out in advance and it was just a coincidence?

    1. eh, whatever

      1) What Dan?
      2) All strips here are drawn months in advance. Right now the buffer is almost a year.

      1. Shadowsnail

        Dan “Walker” Williams, the comic’s creator. Wait, which timeline are you in?

      2. Proxiehunter

        Dan U. Willis.

  59. Qube

    HE FUCKED UP HER CEREAL BEAT HIS ASS

  60. Serendipity

    Oh, he’s dead.

  61. Charles Phipps

    His anger is motivated by the fact that clearly Dina should be into him.

    I guess.

  62. J

    oh I THINK THE FUCK NOT

  63. BBCC

    Well, look, this guy’s already dead, there’s nothing we can do even if we wanted to.

  64. Taffy

    The little boy looks like he’s about to cry.

  65. GUIGUI

    Okay, bets are on, is it Dina or Becky who is going to shove him a new one first? It’s going to be a tight race.

    1. Alongcameaspider

      I dont think we should count Joe out on this yet, he’s friends with Dina and was already primed to kick this guys ass before this

      1. a/snow/mous/e

        Combo attack.

        1. TheFlamingonator

          Becky crouches behind his legs and Dina goes for the throat?

    2. Da Boy

      If enought time passed we might get a Flying Amazi-Girl Kick

  66. Charles Phipps

    I think people who assume that Incels are automatically “they look like normal people and creep around like Lifetime villains” forget that Youtube exists where they put on costumes to do lectures. The big thing this is missing is him having a video as he tries to get clicks for his channel.

    1. NGPZ

      yeah bru, same basic delio with how Mary tried to appeal to Joyce’s feminist sentiment to redirect it towards Carla with the “males intruding in female spaces” bullshit, a very common TERF recruitment tactic seen on Twitter and shit

      the discrepancy to be aware of is that Willis presents these strategies as in-person actors for the sake of working best in a gag-a-day webcomic format, where IRL modern reactionary movements are primarily internet-based.

    2. Mark

      The focus has been tight in this scene. Maybe off-panel he has a buddy videoing his anticipated triumph.

  67. DashWallkick

    Out of curiosity I checked the tags because wait why would he recognize Dina? And then oh. Ohhhhhhhhh.

  68. Blibdoolpoolp

    This absolute buffoon. By not squaring up against Joe he’s obviously made himself the designated target for some Becky on Bigot violence.

  69. Suet

    Are those Cocoa Puffs? Somewhere, right at this moment, Riley’s cereal senses are tingling.

    “SMAP”? Hah. So… what popcorn flavor do we want?

  70. IntangibleMatter

    That’s probably the quickest way to attract the ire of everyone here, honestly.

  71. Ophidiophile

    The rise of AMAZI JOE! Antithesis of incels everywhere.

    1. Ophidiophile

      Dammit. I should have written “The incel’s worst nightmare.”

  72. Dana W

    If this guy does not get his ass kicked………..

  73. Reltzik

    … why do I feel this guy is deliberately trying to bait a response?

    1. Amós Batista

      yeah, he knows he will lost it, it’s 5 against 1

    2. Da Boy

      And then he’ll cry victim on social media

      1. Vulcanodon

        On-camera, would that be the part where he assaults a girl half his size? (The camera does not know Dina like we do)

        1. Da Boy

          Oh I imagine he’d cry afterwards, from the hospital bed all messed up and bandaged up.

        2. Vulcanodon

          That would be his best bet – to omit the footage of how he got there. Substitute his own delusional narrative.

          Maybe he’ll decide to use those roller skates and GTFO before that happens.

        3. Da Boy

          Maybe he’ll create the legend of Dina like Fire Nation made the Big Buff Toph

  74. CianM1301

    Go for the throat, Dina.

  75. foducool

    she’s gonna maul him for that

    1. Opus the Poet

      +1, And make a mess in the food court.

  76. TheFlamingonator

    Careful dude you’re gonna lose one of your girlfriends (im talking about his hsnd)

    1. Arianod

      I love that the typo makes it look like “hand” is some sex-related word that needs censoring. Which in this particular case is uncomfortably close to the truth ^^u

  77. Kyulen

    Destroying Dina’s cereal? It’s over for this dude.

    1. darkoneko

      My name is Dina Montoya.
      You destroyed my cereals.
      Prepare to die.

  78. darkoneko

    ….you’ve just made a big mistake

  79. PedanticJerkass

    Okay, time for him to die horribly, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  80. Bicycle Bill

    Later, in the student health clinic, he will recall this exact moment and come to the realization that it was at this point that everything turned to shit.

  81. Morrison

    *Puts on Abe Lincon hat, rocks side to side* “Now you fucked up! Now you fucked up!”

    1. MegaBee

      Hammer time!

    2. Schpoonman

      In two minutes this loser’s going to be crying “Please don’t break my butt!”

  82. Maddie B

    Time for someone to punch his stupid face into/through a wall and/or floor.

  83. Versen

    By the end of this arc, everyone may have jumped this guy either simultaneously or throughout.

    And since days last forever here, the minute, to beating ratio is gonna be pretty sweet.

  84. AGV/Ruby

    Him, death, now

    1. Arianod

      Oh, he dead alright

  85. Arianod

    Fool of an incel! One does not simply mess with a dinasaur!!

    1. Mark

      “Do not meddle in the affairs of [dinosaurs], for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.”

      1. Arianod

        (in fact, humans come with their own ketchup!)

  86. Nick Piers

    “Oh Sugar, You’ve just gone and done the dumbest thing in your whole life.”
    -Sin City

  87. Jim Campbell

    Oh, you did a bad, bad thing, Insinkerator. Or whatever your name was. It’s not going to matter for much longer anyway.

  88. RocketRelm

    See, it’s very likely he’ll get destroyed, but what I would do, and the funny response would be: to laugh and call him weird. “Awh, is baby having a temper tantrum?”

    Mockery and a refusal to take him seriously is the best medicine in this case. (He might become dangerous but short of quietly calling the cops and hoping that solves it there’s nothing much to be done there.)

    1. Mark

      I recommend both.

  89. Amós Batista

    Okay, it was funny until now. This is just gratuitous violence. Everybody in defense and kick this freak ass

    1. Amós Batista

      Like, what are him expecting about? Can he solo fighting against 5 persons, ohe of them clearly the double of his size? Is he testing or something like that?

      1. Queezle

        I hope they do not give him the satisfaction. I hope that just of panel, someone called campus security on his ass.

  90. William

    And here lies Incelerator.
    He poked the velociraptor and she slashed his guts out.
    May he rest in peace.

    1. Shadowsnail

      May he rest in peace
      May he and his ilk remain dead.

  91. Tenzhi

    That Incelerated quickly…

  92. Lysbeth

    Look, I’m just saying, bothering Dina hasn’t exactly ended well, survival-wise, in this story. Also, there are fateful highways everywhere in America, right?

  93. PumpkinCake

    Are we really continuing with this nonsense?

  94. Da Boy

    Well, someone’s free trial of life is over

  95. Mendel

    I’m kinda imagining that a part of the readers laughs st this, and a part has flashbacks, with hopefully some overlap between the parts

  96. Da Boy

    You know, he is right actually. Dina’s place is next to and sligtly behind a guy.
    It’s a perfect spot to perform a silent assassination on an unsuspecting and dumb as brick target.

    1. Opus the Poet

      Tom his left and behind him so he’ll still be alive when Dina starts to eat his entrails.

    2. Mark

      But from that angle you can’t enjoy the surprised expression.

    3. Amelie Wikström

      The mistake is to think her position isn’t the best it could be without any relation to a guy.

  97. Raven Stromdans

    The dude said, out loud, that she’s the “feral little dinosaur girl”.

    What part of “feral” suggests “this is someone safe to fuck with”?

    And that’s not even considering that every person in that immediate vicinity is more than willing to beat his ass right into the ground on Dina’s behalf.

    1. Mark

      I reckon there’s fifty other students there and at least 45 would join in, or wish they had.

  98. Josh Spicer

    Bet this shit’s done long before Amazi-Girl or Sal or Amazi-Girl AND Sal show up, for either the same reason or for other differentiating reasons that will then lead to Jenilly’s presence.

  99. Abel Undercity

    Now is the time for many punchings and raptor bites.

  100. ValdVin

    You might say “Cuckoo ruined Cocoa Puffs”.

    I’ll show myself out.

    1. Da Boy

      He’ll be flying over that Cuckoo’s nest after they punch him

  101. Alan in DC

    “Cereal killer” … #%&/@! … wish I came up with that

  102. Gnome

    You have invaded Dina’s space and taken food from her, congratulations sir! You have won a vacation inside the nearest emergency medical facility!

    1. NGPZ

      he worked alongside Toe-Dad

      toed the line of Incel Ideology

      …and will wake up with a tag on his toe

  103. Allison Branford

    I’d low key love it, if this was the asshole who tried to roofie Joyce, and he finally got his shit kicked in on panel

    1. Mark

      I like to think that they still haven’t found enough of the pieces to stitch that guy back together.

    2. Jeremiah

      It’s not him it’s one of Blaine goons that somehow got away.

    3. staszu13

      Nope this was one of the Two Toedads’ stooges that failed at the kidnapping attempt. Also present, a long with Beef, to do a homophobic slur on Danny before Amazi-Girl squished them. Ryan has a scar

    4. DailyBrad

      It’s definitely not Ryan.

      If it makes you feel any better, the last time we heard about him, Amber maimed him so much with a knife that he is probably never coming back.

  104. BCGeiger

    Ok at this point I want everyone in the room including the dining hall staff to join in beating the crap out of this guy.

    1. Vulcanodon

      Give him his wish of becoming Internet douche-famous.

  105. Tan

    I am low-key hating the composition of panel 1 where Joyce is next to and slightly behind Joe, even if I know their relationship is not ACTUALLY the kind that Dickmonkey has in mind

    1. Big Z

      Counterpoint: In panel 3, Becky is in that exact position relative to Dina. I wouldn’t be surprised if Willis is DELIBERATELY mocking the words of the incel.

      1. Tan

        Almost certainly (at least in panel 3, quite possibly in both). I’m not upset at Willis, I’m strictly upset at the dickmonkey fictional character.

    2. yak

      I think that was intentional…

  106. Vulcanodon

    “Hey, I know you! From that time when I was committing a felony worth 20-to-life!”

    1. staszu13

      Assume he’s free on bail then

  107. Matrix

    Rip

  108. Deanatay

    SMASH CUT

    * Incel’s mangled body hauled off by paramedics*

    Dina: That was unnecessary.

    Becky, Sarah, and Joyce: DISAGREE.

    *doors fly open*

    Dottie in AG costume: THIS LOOKS LIKE A JOB FOR – oh.

    Amber, behind her: The. Fuck?

    Joe, forlorn: Aww, they got to him before I could…

    *Dina quietly gets another bowl of cereal*

    1. staszu13

      We have a winner

  109. Disastroid

    I have a nagging thought that it can’t be this easy. A few people have mentioned that this is not how dangerous incels act, and they’re right. This feels like a setup, designed to get one or more of our heroes expelled.

    1. Jeremiah

      It is how this specific incel acts. That wouldn’t really makes sense since he wasn’t speaking specifically to them and seem to just notice Dina right now. Someone can just act like a weirdo.

    2. DailyBrad

      Add a disguise, though, and you can get bolder action. Think of how incels act on the internet with even a veneer of anonymity.

      Besides, this guy is not entirely new to this, as he was one of Blaine’s henchmen in the kidnapping plot.

      1. Schpoonman

        You ever see any news of Nazis and their ilk posting up in the US, happy to wear a mask when it protects their identity but not to protect people from the virus that killed over a million citizens?

        This guy absolutely fits that mold.

    3. BorkBorkBork

      I 100% agree. No one goes, calls themselves an incel, in broad daylight, and then starts just insulting people and saying infuriating things, unless their entire bit is to provoke an attack.

      Whatever happens here, Incelery needs to throw the first punch or do something that’s objectively harmful to another person. Otherwise, he’s just smug bait for a later “First amendment rights!” trap. THAT’s the only teeth this loser has.

      1. Victor Riley

        Why would anyone happily call themselves an “incel”? An involuntary celibate… you’re announcing to the world you can’t get sex, and also wrap your entire identity in that.

        Sure, I can’t either… but it’s more because I’m Ace, and don’t really care.

        1. Zerodime

          I think the incel-identity comes from the (here shown) assumption that you nbot only can’T get sex, but it’s not your fault. It’S the fault of the “womens” that won’t ‘even try and date you’.

        2. thejeff

          But it’s also all tied up in it being their fault. Most see themselves as so ugly and worthless that no woman would freely date them if they had any choice, which is why women need to be forced to depend on men.

        3. Buck Ripsnort

          Hey, *I’m* ugly and worthless, but I don’t blame women or femboys for that. I blame screwing up every job I ever had so I can’t afford to go to a gym or buy decent clothes or anything. I’m the reason I’m a mess!

        4. thejeff

          Mostly because they’re not happy. Incels are dangerous, but also pathetic. There’s a lot of suicidal ideation.

      2. thejeff

        Damn idiot for this guy to do it to this group though. Since if any of them recognize him, they could nail him on the kidnapping charges.

      3. yak

        Smacking the tray out of Dina’s hands was both assault and a clear enough threat to her person that she can definitely use the “self-defense” argument in court, as long as her response is not excessive (i.e. a punch to the the solar plexus). Indiana has pretty permissive self-defense laws.

        While that probably wouldn’t be how either the public reaction or the resulting court cases works out, those don’t necessarily have much relationship with reality anyway…

        1. yak

          specifically I mean that a punch to the solar plexus would be a totally reasonable, certainly legal, and not excessive use of force here.

        2. thejeff

          I wonder how the “excessive” rules for self-defense apply dealing with someone who’s previously kidnapped you? Might get a little more leeway for assuming he’s a serious threat.

        3. yak

          yeah, probably. But of course, they have no way of knowing who this masked crusader is…

    4. mindbleach

      I’m’a be blunt – if this is the setup to that kind of Tailsteak bullshit, I’m out. See you in six months.

  112. zee

    Murder

  113. Imogen

    it’s so funny that this character comes out, like, a week after I complained that Dina doesn’t have enough flaws or narrative struggles. Like, it literally can’t be connected, Willis is months ahead of us. It’s just wild.

    1. Jeremiah

      I fail to see the correlation?

    2. Byron Orpheus

      The comic buffer reads November 5, 2025. This one was completed at least a year ago.

      1. Imogen

        Months ahead, like I said. It’s pure coincidence. I said it’s funny, is all. ?

  114. Furie

    I just pulled the shit’s about to go down and I’m gonna make damn sure you’re under it face… at a comic.

  115. Zak

    Not comic related and kind of a weird ask, but I’ve noticed on mobile that at least half the time I go to page back it hits the comic page instead. Would it be possible to add some space between the comic and the navigation buttons because of this?

  116. John

    …Well, that’s not gonna end well for him.

    Good.

  117. Rosstifer

    That dude is gonna die. Hooray!

    1. Adept

      I came here to speculate whether he’s going to wake up at a hospital or not.

  118. Shadowsnail

    A couple people brought potential music cues, but the alt text gives the best one: Green Jelly’s Cereal Killer.

  119. Victor Riley

    Now I really want Joe to beat him… Dina has given Joe non-obligatory greetings and accepted him as a friend.

    It’s time for Joe to learn the family business, like his step-sister.

  120. Stephen Nedland

    Now, Joyce can either stop Joe, or she can stop Becky, but there is no way that she will stop both. One of those two will get their pound of flesh, from this ass-clown.

    1. Proxiehunter

      If Joyce is stopping either Joe or Becky, then who’s stopping Joyce?

  121. Annika

    Please listen to Joyce, Joe. 🙁
    It’s so scary watching your boyfriend fight shit on your behalf when you’ve asked him not to, especially when he says it’s supposed to be for your benefit. I know this is a ridiculous situation but I felt like I needed to say it because so many people in the comments seem at least jokingly supportive of his response here.

    1. NGPZ

      yeah, even here we must not forget that sexisms IRL don’t always take the form of cartoon supervillains, that they often heavily ingrained into our culture/customs such that the corresponding transgressions are expected and easy to dismiss as “normal” in het relationships

      It must ultimately be understood that in the game of Patriarchy, women aren’t the opposing team — we’re the BALL

    2. Yondrose

      That’s a discharitable take. My personal experience is that many women are taught, as Joyce was, that confrontation is a sin and they should be meek. The ‘no, don’t’ can be just as performative and maladjusted as the bravado of their partners. There’s an expectation, often explicit, that men will do all the dirty work so women can remain pure and clean. Example: mom makes excuses for people mean to her and leaves it up to others to look out for her, then gets upset when no one wants to play white night for her. I’m sure it’s scary when unwanted ‘help’ happens, but this behavior doesn’t come from nowhere.

  122. CardinalFan

    That guy just pulled a Cell when he knocked the tray our of Dina’s hand. It’s like when Cell crushed Android 16’s head. What happened next wasn’t good for Cell………

  123. Byron Orpheus

    He finally found an opponent befitting his skill and stature: a little girl. And she’s about to destroy him.

    1. Jeremiah

      Hey, Dina is a almost fully grown Woman! She did not stole alcohol to get this slander!

  124. Night

    You know that scene in Watchmen where a prepubescent Rorshach rips part of another kids face off with his teeth?

    That’s what’s about to happen here

  125. wakeangel2001

    pictures taken seconds before disaster

  126. Scolopendra

    We’re spending a lot more time with this guy than I expected but I cannot remotely complain. Joe’s reactions are sending me

  127. Zamperla

    TBH I appreciate Joe rodeo-clowning to keep Joycelyn out of view of this dude.

  128. yak

    A loud “Fuck you, dude.” would have been plenty, Joe. He’s doing just fine getting the shit beat out of himself.

  129. Kristine
