    Happiness is not for everyone, apparently.

    1. ViralBiae

      Not for the genre savvy, anyway.

  2. Jen Aside

    TRANSPARENT AS GLASS

  3. OhHayMike

    Well. There’s that.

  4. Aizat

    Is that burger white?

    1. Bekah

      I bet it’s supposed to be an english muffin.

    2. meanderling

      college food.

      1. Herbert

        University food on the other hand, rocks.

        1. Twentydragon

          Ehhh, not really. The only place to get remotely decent food at my university is the pub downstairs, and a microwaved floppy-burger and fries costs $7, with no drink. There is a decent burger, though, but it costs $6.50 by itself.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I been to Flinders University (visitor, not student) and the central part is like a mall of sorts with things like ATMs that dispense $10 notes (normally ATMs have only $20 & $50 notes), Hair Salon, Pharmacy, supermarket, Post Office, food court, coffee shop and tavern (legal drinking age is 18 in Australia).

        3. dusk

          At my school, I have to make my own food. Curse you culinary degree!

        4. Led

          Hm at my university (living in Sweden) a lunch costs like 10USD or so and is of quite high quality… unlike their amazingly stale (deadly stale) 5USD sandwiches.

          Good thing I usually have very few hours scheduled and mainly get to work and study at home hah

        5. Ian

          It’s a wonder then that the students manage to make it through with most of their teeth.

    3. Plasma Mongoose

      That is the whitest burgerbun I have ever seen.

      1. Zoey

        its from that nw place up the street ya know…..albino burgers….

      2. Tualha

        Hmm, that avatar looks like the young Alucard.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Correct, its Aldcard in the young female form he took up during the 2nd World War.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I meant Alucard.

    4. Jenny Creed

      I’m thinking it’s a light side of the force-burger from that Star Wars campaign.

      (The dark side burgers looked horrible.)

  5. Wonder Wig

    Butt taco up high!

  6. Gundi

    I DON’T WANT HIJINXS, DAMN IT!

    1. NCP19

      But ’round these parts Hijinks Ensue…eh? Ehhhhhhhh?

      1. Xartarin

        That was so bad I spat out my Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.

        1. Blob Marley

          Well, do you have dogs? At least they could get Something Positive out of your upchuck.

        2. fellixe

          I don’t have a barf bag. You’ll have to use Mary Elizabeth’s Sock.

        3. fhqwhgads

          as long as they can avoid being hit by Girls With Slingshots.

        4. Bekah

          This thread contains some Questionable Content.

        5. Herbert

          At least there are no Complex Actions

        6. Cholma

          Sarah probably thinks these people are all College Roomies From Hell!!!

        7. Plasma Mongoose

          it’s a veritable Sinfest of puns here.

        8. Jackson

          Well, that’s the difference between webcomics and Real Life.

        9. twobeef

          What, does real life not always devolve into errant stories like this?

        10. chumpersonable

          To revive this line of discussion would be like raising the dead solely through the power of a social faux pas.

          …an Awkward Zombie, if you will.

        11. Izzy

          I feel like I’m sitting between failures right now.

        12. Jacob

          Your post may have some Questionable Content to it…

        13. Bekah

          Jinx

        14. Gordon

          Now you guys have to play Rock, Paper, Cynic to see who gets to keep the joke.

        15. fellixe

          Or we could leave it up to the Fans!

        16. Bekah

          The loser may need to call a Dr McNinja to deal with the injuries.

        17. fellixe

          Yes, he can watch while the heart monitor goes Blip!

        18. Khrene Cleaver

          McNinja? He’s good! I went to him I had my last Head Trip!

        19. Aizat

          No, I got VGCats.*hides from the possible firestorm*

        20. fellixe

          Questionable Content to VGCats? That was a Supernormal Step.

        21. Plasma Mongoose

          Will I invoke Godwin’s Law if I bring up Hipster Hitler?

        22. Leorale

          unless the dogs have Gastrophobia

        23. Leorale

          oops. I meant this to be a reply to the dog-related comment above! I wish this board was more User Friendly, and I hope you’ll accept my Whispered Apologies.

        24. lightsabermario

          Ack. This joke is causing my computer to Zap! out and crash. I may have to hit Ctrl+Alt+Del.

        25. lightsabermario

          Hmm, it seems I have Misfiled my comment in the wrong place. Looks like this comment system Does Not Play Well With Others.

        26. Plasma Mongoose

          We need to take this thread to the Atomic Laundromat.

        27. Mo

          Or you could call the Bad Boys of Computer Science.

      2. Historyman68

        Catch it at you local Multiplex!

        1. fellixe

          Is that near the Penny Arcade?

        2. antiwesley

          That is, of course, right across the street from Dork Tower.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          Does sprouting out all of these webcomic puns make us Sexy Losers?

        4. mrelegos

          I’m pretty sure This Is Normal, Plasma.

        5. fellixe

          Didn’t think about it to deeply, just kind of did it for No Reason.

        6. Historyman68

          This thread’s giving me the Sordid City Blues.

        7. narmenduke

          Fellixe, that was my thought process when I stepped on that Bug

        8. lightsabermario

          Ow, this thread’s making my Head Trip. I may have to take a Power Nap.

        9. Roborat

          So sad, all the clever puns posted on an obscure web forum, so much Wasted Talent. Sorry, that was The Least I Could Do, don’t judge me too harshly, I am Fragile. I will just sit in the corner and eat my Octopus Pie, and await the verdict of the Fanboys at Gunnerkrigg Court. If you don’t like it, you can Bite Me. Oh no, too many puns in one post, I have triggered a Cascade Failure.

        10. David

          Pupkin.

    2. artemi

      But… but hijinks are such a key part of Sequential Art!

      1. Ray Barrington

        I’m enjoying reading this while drinking coffee with Two Lumps of sugar.

    3. TEi

      Seeing all these replies just makes me want to say Balls 2 That.

  7. Kernanator

    Drama! Get your drama, right here! Drama for sale!

    1. Aizat

      Salt! Get your tasty salt! Go ahead and put it on stuff! Salt!

  8. RaijinK

    Sarah’s entire role in the comic is that she doesn’t want anything to do with the comic. Why isn’t she more popular again?

    1. Blob Marley

      Too meta for us.

    2. Valdrax

      Not meta enough. We need to go deeper.

      1. Frost

        We can use inception on her?

        1. The E-man

          I support Sarah-ception

    3. Historyman68

      More like, why is she so much more popular than Malaya?

      1. The E-man

        Because Malaya is a character.

        1. The E-man

          I mean Because Malaya is a DieForOurShip character.

        2. begbert2

          I like the idea that merely being a character is enough to ensure superior popularity. (Sarah: “What am I, chopped liver? Eeh, who cares.”)

        3. aydr

          Actually, the implication here is that being a character is enough to ensure that we hate her…

      2. Valdrax

        Who? You must mean some other character from some other comic who may or may not eat up a disproportionate amount of the comment space there with her hypothetical jerkish ways.

        Thanks goodness no such person exists here in the DoAverse!

  9. Azumango

    Deign… Can you use it in a sentence?

    1. Blob Marley

      I would not deign to do such a plebian thing on these incredibly classy comment boards.

    2. Valdrax

      Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damnèd Deign,
      Drink off this potion. Is thy union here?
      Follow my mother.

      1. Blob Marley

        I had to do a double take.

        Then I saw what you did there and laughed.

    3. Historyman68

      “Deign is a word in this sentence.”

    4. Historyman68

      Marmaduke is a great deign.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        deign/dān/
        Verb: Do something that one considers to be beneath one’s dignity.

        1. begbert2

          I wouldn’t have…stooped to actually defining it for him, myself.

        2. Azumango

          This thread was hilarious and informative!

  10. Blob Marley

    Oh, Sarah. You shoulda dun shoulda known better.

    1. Yotomoe

      She shoulda dun shoulda known better. This comic has so much drama she shoulda just shoulda assumed that they were gonna to gunna have more drama they need resolved.

  11. Tristan J

    I had this exact problem in high school.

    GOD DAMMIT IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIND SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN TALK ABOUT POKEMON OR SOME SHIT AND NOT WHO’S BANGING/PISSED OFF AT/IGNORING WHO

    answer: Yes, at college, amusingly.

    1. Blob Marley

      Answer: Go talk to Dina. There are some dinosaur-shaped pokemans.

    2. Aizat

      Lucky you! I can’t find anyone I can talk to about anime or some shit.

      1. Bekah

        My college used to host Anime Expo back in the day… they stopped doing that. Boooooo

      2. Tristan J

        I was lucky in that not only were there multiple clubs I could go to (like Club Anime, Club D&D, and Club Baby Seals) but also most people in my ordinary classes were bigger nerds than me.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          They had an actual Club Baby Seals?

        2. Tristan J

          Yep.

          They talked about how cute baby seals were and looked at photos of them.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          I guessed wrong then, I was thinking that Baby Seal was the name of a nightclub.

    3. Valdrax

      Well, there’s always the internet. That way you can talk about who’s banging Pokemon.

      1. Gordon

        You, androgynous internet commenter, win one Internet.

  12. Brasca1

    Now Sarah if you’re going to discriminate on the basis of awkward sitcom situations you’re going to be quite lonely.

    1. begbert2

      Sarah was probably a lot happy with her universe before the comic started being about it.

  13. carl320

    Dammit Danny! I don’t want your drama! 😛

  14. Originalslugboy

    Hee. Sarah’s so I adorable I want to give her a hug, but I don’t want her to punch me. What to do?

  15. Yotomoe

    One day she’ll look back on this and be happy she decided to stay out of it.

    1. iSaidCandleja-

      Or one day, 100 strips from now, she will realize she’s been drawn into it anyway.

      1. Historyman68

        That one day will probably be tomorrow.

        1. MeHael

          And it will probably be 100 strips from now.

        2. Historyman68

          And it will probably be tomorrow.

  16. fellixe

    Unless someone ends up in a Menáge A 3.

    1. fellixe

      Oops! That one got Misfiled.

      1. DoomDarts

        Your posts are So Far Apart from the thread above, but Just a Bit Off from each other. Good thing you’re not undead, or you’d feel like a real Awkward Zombie right about now.

        …God damnit, that sucked.

        1. fellixe

          Sure did! Where’s the Emergency Exit?

        2. Historyman68

          I think you’re Overcompensating.

        3. chumpersonable

          Dang, didn’t notice this AZ pun before I made mine.

          WELP

  17. Kaylee

    Willis! You said you never drew mouths on the sides of your characters faces! How dare you lie to me!?

    Ahem, I mean, I’m not complaining. Actually, this is the cutest that Danny’s looked. And it gives him an awkward smiling with one side of your mouth look.

    1. David

      I said I no longer draw mouths on the sides of my characters’ faces when in profile.

      Example, second panel: http://itswalky.com/d/19970909.html

      1. Kaylee

        But Danny’s face in the first panel is in profile, yes? With both sides of his mouth visible?

        1. David

          He’s talking out the side of his mouth. 🙂

        2. fellixe

          Because he’s too honest to talk out of both sides.

        3. Blob Marley

          Danny actually suffers from a terrible physical deformity. His mouth is larger on the left side of his face. you can see it in panel 4 as well. You insensitive jerk!

      2. davidbreslin101

        … a style which the face-recognition parts of the human brain have no problem with until you actually point it out!

        1. begbert2

          And after which, you can never watch anime again.

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          Tropes such as Cheeky Mouth, Faceless Masses, Only Six Faces and even No Feet are tricks that many artists use cos they are either short on time or lack the skill to do it properly.

  18. Stephen Bierce

    Well, I can’t promise I’ll spend a say with you
    I can’t promise that I’ll find a way with you
    I can’t promise no I can’t promise that I’ll love you!    –“Like To Get To Know You”, Spanky & Our Gang

    1. Stephen Bierce

      And…I typo. *cough*

  19. MR C

    sarah should know better by now

  20. Janette

    I know that feel Sarah, and then I realized the drama was worth it so I didn’t spend every night home alone.

  21. Plasma Mongoose

    Poor Grumble-Bum, teenage drama shows up EVERYWHERE.

    1. Kernanator

      Fun Fact: When two teenagers come into contact with one another an A.D. (Absolute Drama) Field is created.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        The presence of VD is know to increase the effects of the AD field.

        1. fellixe

          And VD-enhanced AD is impressive in 3D.

        2. begbert2

          You can get a 3D MD to look into
          you AD-enhancing VD if you just stop
          sitting around in your BVDs listening to CDs.

        3. Plasma Mongoose

          I think I need a PhD to understand what you just said. 😛

  22. Spammy McSpamster

    Someone learned a new word today, huh

  23. Ryorin

    Silly, Sarah. Don’t you realize you’re in a Willis comic?

    1. begbert2

      Hey, sometimes there’s zany comedy. Sarah loves that *so* much better.

  24. LiC

    I know she wants to avoid drama and stuff, but at the same time, she’s gotta be feeling kinda bored a lot of the time.

  25. Maycroft

    She’s gonna be sitting alone for a loooooong time.

  26. TJ Baltimore

    Sarah and Dorothy should be best friends . . . until Walky ruins it.

  27. Mr. Morningstar

    At least they were honest.

  28. NF

    Sarah has a hard life.

  29. Joebo

    Me thinks she doth protest too much.

  30. aaron_bourque

    You live in the wrong universe, Sarah.

    1. Blob Marley

      The drama tag came pre-pulled in this one.

  31. Charles RB

    Sarah is the smartest DoA character ever. (Sorry, Dean).

  32. ziggy78eog

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, Sarah, but you can never escape “dumb teenage drama” while on a college campus.

  33. Oberon

    Sarah: Knows her Tropes.

  34. Brady Kj

    I’ve rarely seen any dumb teenage drama in college or high school, though I’ve heard rumors of it on occasion.

  35. luke

    love it

    poor bag of shit

  36. DarkoNeko

    You really walked into that one, eh ?
    They were about to change the subject too

  37. acoraz

    When did Sarah and Danny meet, again?
