In addition to the regular books that we get that chronicle different chapters of DoA.
How much would people be willing to pay to get a giant picture book, of roughly the same size, shape, length, and content of a “Where’s Waldo/Wally?” book, only entitled, “Where’s Charlie?”
And how each megascene covers two pages and shows hundreds of different characters, along with pretty much every single one of the cast, all in one frozen moment doing something hilarious? And like all Waldo books, you get a little blurb on the side of the page, as Charlie’s journal or Charlie’s thoughts, as well as a list of specific other things to find in addition to Charlie. Things that are only described in their relationship to her, like “Charlie’s Girlfriend,” “Charlie’s Twin,” “Charlie’s Nintendo,” “Charlie’s Borrowed Head-Clenching Iguana,” etc.
I’d pay good money for one.
Also an adult coloring book. You know. Not a *cough* Adult *cough* coloring book, but something made for adults to enjoy. As long as we’re just throwing ideas out into the ether.
Both Alice and Jennifer seem to be wearing pull-on boots with no shoelaces. Charlie’s going to have to pull some other sweet prank. Maybe she’ll unhook their bras?
Woo implies Charlie is conjuring a plan or putting in directed effort. Charlie is more like a jelly, she drifts beautiful in the current and ends up right were she needs to be. That or eaten by sea turtles. The later seems vanishingly unlikely in Charlie’s case, yet I would not be surprised if it happened.
Charlie and Carla are also good candidates for a DoA group B. Still don’t know a good group name. I wanna call them the Dummies but that would cover the entire cast. Need something more unique.
Actually make it Glasses Wearing Sapphics because it’s more inclusive and can also be shortened to GWS, an acronym that also stands for Girls with Slingshots.
Should I make a modification for that “DON’T CARE REMOVING PANTS NOW” script that adds a panel to the end that instead uses this “You just got pranked” Carla panel? Because it’s iconic and could work without context lol
Nothing moving the story forward, nothing revealed. It’s just nice
Florence
I’m open to how it is narrative, but for me this is more mood and jokes
Nadamás
I mean it moves the story forward in the sense that the story is about the characters daily lives and this is part of that.
Nymph
It is progressing both Billie&Alice’s relationship as well as Charlie&Carla’s relationship in a comic about relationships. That seems narrative to me tbh.
clif
It’s a brick joke. Alice and Jennifer stand there talking to a succession of cast members who keep coming by, and after conversations with the entire named student body finally have a 3 strip discussion of what they are doing next, and then in the last panel, fall on their faces.
Not to take away from the glory that is Chalie, but is no one going to mention the quiet-part-out-loud implications of “in your sleep”? Of Billie being in Alice’s room, or vice versa, overnight?
CURSE YOU, CHARLIE SANCHEZ!I HEREBY VOW, YOU WILLRUE THIS DAY! BEHOLD, A TRUE JOURNALISM-MAJOR STUDENT! AND I, JENNIFER BILLINGSWORTH – YOUR FEARS MADE FLESH! TOP-TIER GIRLFRIEND YOU MIGHT BE, FOUL PRANKSTER, BUT I WILL NAME YOU AS AMAZIGIRL IN MY NEXT ARTICLE! WITH LITTLE TO NO EVIDENCE! WITH EVERY LAST DROP OF MY JOURNALISTIC CREDIBILITY!
Joyce: Guys, why are there these golden sigils popping up all over the dorm and why do they have notes from Dorothy saying things like “Here I abandon my left arm?”
You fool, Carla! Your girlfriend is a “blink and you’ll miss her” kind of character – as in, if you blink she will go missing oh god I blinked where’s Charlie!?

Alice may be cool, but Charlie is on another level.
In that she literally wandered off towards the elevator just now and we don’t know what floor she’s on, can any of you help Carla look?
Needfuldoer
She’s on the third floor, but of a completely different building somehow.
Steamweed
If she’s not with Dina, we’ll find her. If she is with Dina, we might as well go back to our regular activities and just wait.

Funny side question.

Sirksome
She’s already gotten to their shoelaces.
Thag Simmons
Fuck, that’s a good call. Wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being the scene ender.
showler
I mean, there’s four spaces between panels. Who knows what she could have accomplished in that amount of space.
clif
Y’all make a convincing argument. I shall continue to believe it regardless of what happens in tommorow’s strip.
Leadsynth

ShenHibiki
That’s part of the prank, see? Since they have no shoelaces, the tied-up shoelaces definitely won’t be expected!
Megan
quick, borrow Dina’s prank-making hat
sdrainbow
At least yesterday Carla fell down.
NGPZ
Mistress? oooh hohohohoho this is rich, Charlie already a perfect dom
she gonna woo her way into Ruttech vaults in no time >:D

+1 from a Danielle Corsetto fan.
Clif
Why the glasses were wearing sapphics we’ll never know.
Steamweed
During the coldest winter times, I like to wear a sapphic to keep warm. (they’re always muttering about being useless, but this takes care of that)
jeffepp
The C-Team, of course.
Purple Floof
Charla is RIGHT THERE, come on now
Boop
Charlie effortlessly being the best at all times
True Survivor
So is this bright new love or blinding obsession? Which of these couples am I talking about? You choose.
IntangibleMatter
Should I make a modification for that “DON’T CARE REMOVING PANTS NOW” script that adds a panel to the end that instead uses this “You just got pranked” Carla panel? Because it’s iconic and could work without context lol
Clif
No, you need to add both. First, the You Got Pranked panel and then the Don’t Care Removing Pants Now panel.
Opus the Poet
+1 for the best panel order,
Amós Batista
Take the 2nd and 7th panel, and fill between with your joke
The 25th
Charlie is well among the greats.
Taffy
I like Alice a normal amount.
Clif
I don’t believe you. You are making a manifestly false statement for the sake of humor.
I reason thusly. Normal is boring. Taffy is never boring. QED.
Taffy
The truth is, I’d prefer to see more Alice over more Joyce, at this point.
clif
Now you’ve done it. The basic laws of the universe now require us to switch back to Joyce tommorow.
Opus the Poet
I think we all do for a given definition of “normal”.
darkoneko
oooookay ?
Straximus
They are my new favorite couple. ?
Yumi
I want Charlie to have a jacket.
Thag Simmons
Carla would absolutely try to dress her girlfriend in one of those Ruttech Motorcycle Jackets.
Steamweed
The delivery drone will follow her around for three hours before she finally notices it.
bemisawa
Surreal pranks are the best pranks.
Also, I feel like that last panel is one that can be applied to any preexisting comic to add new context.
Opus the Poet
“Paint the East German machine tools blue.” Yep, that works.
Ado
Cinema.
clif
I believe you meant to say, “Sin Emma.” (Or possibly command.)
There is no evidence for this, but both of them are strange things to say out of the blue, so I figure I have a 50% chance of being right.
JA
On the upside, no damage seems to have been done to Alice.
BarerMender
I like Alice’s reaction in frame 6.
Fussypupy
Me too! Looked in the comments to see if anyone else mentioned it. It’s such a nice lil gentle smile :3
Shakes
Pack it up this is the pinnacle of this comic, it’s all downhill from here.
Florence
I think this might be my favourite non-narrative strip in a while
Love these two couples and I’m so happy that Jennifer is happy and escaping popularity mindsets
Taffy
This is absolutely a narrative strip, what on Earth do you mean?
Florence

I tend not to think about this comic as having a “The Story,™”, so that’s probably the disconnect.
Florence
That’s fair, I could’ve used better language
Bryy
Same. Carla and Charlie are just Looney Tunes, and I’m okay with that.
John Campbell
The prank is Alice and Billie are going to be so confused.
HueSatLight
I like the shading on Carla’s jeans. Two colors of light in the room.
Kyulen
I’m wondering if that was the actual prank or if Charlie genuinely forgot why she went over to Alice and Billifer. Both seem equally likely with her.
Tan
Not to take away from the glory that is Chalie, but is no one going to mention the quiet-part-out-loud implications of “in your sleep”? Of Billie being in Alice’s room, or vice versa, overnight?
Nadamás
She knows how to pick lock after all
Suet
Curse you, Charlie Sanchez! I hereby vow you will rue this day!!
i’d rather not know how she’ll steal Alice’s fingerprints but I firmly believe she could
Purple Floof

pope suburban
This has intense Sydney Yus vibes and I love it.
Opus the Poet
Mythbusters did it with an early version of a fingerprint reader back in the aughties, so I think it’s possible for Billifer to do it in 2025.
Purple Floof
You fool, Carla! Your girlfriend is a “blink and you’ll miss her” kind of character – as in, if you blink she will go missing oh god I blinked where’s Charlie!?

I’m just happy to see Jennifer and Alice hanging out. Jen really needed a win.

Loving the chemistry between these two. Can’t wait for the biology to happen ^^
