    arguably the best product placement

    1. Dean

      The presence of the T-shirt spurred Walky’s performance to new heights.

      1. Jen Aside

        gettin’ his mac on cheese

        1. Stephen Bierce

          Is this a Kraft, an art or a science? Or just all of the above?

    2. Kennerly

      I feel an urge to buy a teal spiral notebook.

    3. Architex

      Ruth would argue that Kraft Dinner is better.

      1. Maveric1984

        It totally is!

  2. Mr. Random

    Lovey dovey sex.

    1. Dreadhawk177

      No. Refrained, well-documented SCIENCE.

      1. John

        I enjoy imagining your terrified Joyce avatar saying this sentence. Like Dorothy’s scientific attitude is an abomination of love making that’s also an abdominal case of premarital hanky panky.

        1. Rycan

          Scientific pre-marital hanky panky…

          The application “Joyce” encountered a problem and was forced to close.
          Would you like to send a crash report to Jesus?

        2. Jon Rich

          Best comment. Just…best comment.

        3. Bill

          Now you know why Joyce has such big blue eyes.

        4. Deanatay

          BEOD?

        5. Bill

          Exactly.

        6. legobil

          Blue Eyes of Death? Wow that sounds scary.

      2. Doctor_Lantern

        Why not both?

      3. Nothri

        She blinded me with science…

    2. Ostsol

      Pre-marital hanky-panky! 😀

      1. Clif

        For Science

    3. Kennerly

      Bum chicka wow wow.

    4. Yet_One_More_Idiot

      D’awww…. <3

    5. Screwball

      Lovey dovey sex..

      Scientific Research, if you don’t mind!

  3. otusasio451

    Oooooh, statistics. How very sexy.

    1. Kernanator

      There’s nothing quite as hot as a chi-square test.

      1. otusasio451

        Tell me about it. Ruling out null hypotheses always gets ME a little hot under the collar, I’ll tell you what.

    2. Dreadhawk177

      I’m assuming the p-values were acceptable in this test.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Statistics/Sex puns? I’m in.

        They haven’t tried any kinky stuff yet, so they’re still well within the standard deviation.

        1. John

          I dunno, p-values sound pretty kinky to me.

        2. MiaKitty

          Pretty sure Walky’s turned that shirt into a kink.

        3. Dreadhawk177

          Ooh. Let’s check for causation!

        4. Ste Rose

          Nothing is quite as kinky as the Weierstrass function, though.

        5. otusasio451

          Is that a normal distribution, or are you just happy to see me?

        6. Dean

          Walky’s results fell within Dorothy’s bell curve.

        7. Usayasha

          But practice safe statistsex. Correlation DOES NOT equal consent!

    3. boomwolf

      Nothin gets a person more hot and bothered than a flow chart.

      1. Kryss LaBryn

        To graph both hot and bothered properly, you really need a Venn diagram.

        1. otusasio451

          Throw in an Euler diagram or two, and you’ve got one fun night ahead.
          A ∩ Bc ∩ Cc ∩ Dc ∩ Ec indeed!

    4. Solenoid

      I’m certain the data fits the curve.

      1. Les

        Or his datum fit within her curves?

    5. John

      All I ever wanted was for some one special to find my love to be statistically significant (p<.05)

      1. Rycan

        True love is p<0.01

      2. anonymsly

        Now I have this song stuck in my head. Thank you!

        (Actually thank you, I love the song.)

    6. Charlie Spencer

      Best. Thread. EVER.

    7. hof1991

      Frequency AND amplitude both matter if they are on the same wavelength.

  4. Smiling Cat

    Adorable.

  5. airyu

    Best shirt best shirt

  6. rezby

    As much as I love seeing these two interact, I’m honestly sad we don’t get more Carla and Sal panels today. Carla is best character.

    1. Doc

      Same, glad I’m not alone in liking Carla the most.

      #carlaingofage

    2. brumagem

      I find Sal super uninteresting ever since she got better at math. I have no idea why. You’d think since then she would be -more- interesting since she’s less trope-y, she’s got this new thing with Marci and Malaya going on, and overall a pretty cool gal, but no. I just glaze over her strips.

    3. Black Bumblebee

      Honestly, the last few panels with them have been a bit “meh.” I’m glad for the change in scenery. Get back to them when something is “happening.”

      1. Pinja

        I agree. None Sal’s gang have interested me even though Carla and Malaya were my faves in SP.

        Actually I’m not really a fan of any of Sal’s plot-lines now I think about it…

        Charming accent though

  7. Kris

    It’s all about averages when your keeping a sex journal.

  8. Hoboturtle

    Hopefully Walky failing math won’t result in him being self conscious in everything. Next thing you know, Walky will tear apart Dorothy’s room looking for said journal.

  9. Dreadhawk177

    Walky performs a statistical analysis.

    1. Solenoid

      The p-value is… significant.

      1. Dreadhawk177

        As the number of samples increases, the confidence rises. Eventually, the studies are ready to be shared and results, um, reproduced…

      2. Kelli

        Yeah, there was certainly a lot of p-ness.

        1. gears

          Have an Internet.

      3. Flimsyfishy

        Hmmm, it seems as if the variance would be very minimal.

    2. GoogerGeiger

      Was it… an F-test?

      1. Solenoid

        Nah, Walky got that earlier in the morning.

        1. tyersome

          And immediately began regression …

  10. Wack'd

    Man, I’ll be honest, if anything could make me wanna have sex, it’d be the prospect of making charts about it. But then again, I can make charts about tons of other stuff, so.

    1. Yotomoe

      It seems in the first quarter longevity was at an all time high, with a noticible sacrifce in performance however. We’ll have to fix that in the next quarter.

    2. Gigafreak

      So it’s like you’re Faz in reverse, then? Using sex as an excuse to make charts, rather than charts as an excuse to ask for sex?

      I have decided that this is Zaph’s schtick.

  11. Doctor_Who

    You just know Walky specifically asked her to keep the shirt on. He’d rather look at Mac & Cheese than boobies.

    1. Solenoid

      The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. It bypasses the ribcage.

      1. Opus the Poet

        So true, especially for cyclists. When you need to consume between 4500 and 5000 Calories/day to prevent excessive weight loss, anything remotely foodlike will get attention…

        1. Rycan

          So the best way to get you to do something is to dangle a stick of butter?

        2. Opus the Poet

          Bacon really. Or cheese puffs, I’m batty about cheese puffs. But if you’re trying to get my attention fry up a pound of bacon and wave it at me.

    2. Yotomoe

      It’s because he knows under the mac and cheese is boobies. Walky’s a man who gets that leaving more to the imagination is sexy.

      1. Carriethedragon

        I feel like the whole “leaves more to the imagination” line makes a lot less sense when you’re talking about the actual deed, not the, you know, imagination of it.

        1. Yotomoe

          But you gotta still imagine the boobies. And boobs are rarely necessary for sex. They’re more like add-ons. Sex Enhancers if you will.

        2. Doctor_Who

          Maybe everyone could leave their clothes on, stay in separate rooms, and just imagine the sex.

        3. Carriethedragon

          For the best sex possible, pledge yourself to a life of chastity. It leaves more to the imagination if you don’t know what sex is like! Avoid pornography at all costs. Isolate yourself from people of the sex/gender you desire, as well. Bisexuals must become hermits. Only then shall we achieve the most pleasurable imagination of intercourse!

        4. Doctor_Lantern

          Yeah… those ancient desert-hermit monks really knew where it’s at!

        5. Deanatay

          Exactly what you just said, but w/0 the sarcasm?

        6. John

          I don’t know why precisely, but touching boobs which are concealed by clothing is definitely different and possibly more fun than touching boobs which are completely naked. Perhaps its transgressing the barrier, maybe the fact that I have to find the nipples by touch alone makes the journey less certain, more exciting.

          Whatever the reason I know I enjoy playing with clothed boobs as much as naked ones even though it’s easier to play with naked boobs.

      2. newllend(henryvolt)

        Should have made her put on a shirt that has a picture of a Carl’s Jr milk shake, Hmmmm delicious, fantasizing more about the milk shake than The boobs for some reason.

        1. Bill

          “My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.”

        2. Yotomoe

          Boobs are the original milk shake.

        3. Deanatay

          (You do understand that’s what the song is about rite?)

          (You probably do)

      Walky… Damned autocorrect…

      1. newllend(henryvolt)

        NOT FUCKING FUN IS IT !

  13. LegalSeagull

    *Cut to Joyce noticing an abandoned teal notebook in the dorm hall*

    1. AgentKeen

      -Read ‘Errant Fart’ entry, suddenly has much stranger sex dreams

  14. Em

    Daaaamn he likes that shirt.

    Or maybe she quick put it on after the deed and we just didn’t get to see that part.

  15. Solenoid

    Is Walky going to acknowledge the love thing in a not-stupid way this time?

    1. boomwolf

      Well i mean its walky. It’ll always be stupid, just marginally less so.

    2. Tualha

      That’s your cue to look deeply into her eyes and then give her a long kiss, Walky. Preferably because you’re moved to do so, not because someone tells you.

      Knowing Walky, he will muff it.

      1. Roborat

        Nothing wrong with kissing her muff.

    3. Deanatay

      If he’s smart, he will either do so, or smile at her and say nothing.

      This is Walky. He will not do either.

  16. Khaner

    Somewhere, Mary is sobbing.

    1. newllend(henryvolt)

      We have a chart for her Moody bullshit too

    2. timemonkey

      No wonder everyone else suddenly became horny.

  17. Opus the Poet

    Charts and graphs are the best part about sex!

    1. Deanatay

      I can disprove this with a single data point: Faz.

      “Faz has noticed that women love it when he makes graphs and charts. I have made some charts and graphs that demonstrate this. You will now commence to love Faz.”

      1. timemonkey

        There are women who would say Faz is a sex master.

        1. Deanatay

          Alas, they only exist in Faz’s mind.

        2. No Name

          Correction: there is a woman who would say Faz is a sex master. Faz would also call her a sex master.

  18. StClair

    “What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity so, be honest. How do you feel? … Interesting.”

      *sobs*

    3. Bill

      “Do you hear that?  That is the sound of ultimate suffering.”

      StClair, if you are female, I love you.

  19. newllend(henryvolt)

    Who wants to bet she has a list of friends and is putting them all in a poll Titled “most irresponsible person” and Billie, walky, and Joyce are the top 3

  20. Idon'tcarenomore

    I’m a bit of a geek, but charts on my lovemaking…ah no.

    Dorothy loves him, so no is she giving up the run for the White House? I don’t think that is Walky’s dream…’Mr. Dorothy…” On the other hand…who knows, he wouldn’t have responsibility, she would.

    1. T Campbell

      The fact that she loves him and the fact that she plans to transfer to Yale when she can are not mutually exclusive. She may have to say a sad goodbye if the offer materializes. Or maybe she’ll decide that the best way to launch her political career is to start interning with a popular congresswoman with whom she may have an in, and supplementing her IU curriculum with MOOCs wil take care of her education. We’ll see when the time comes. (If it ever does.)

      1. Bagge

        I sincerely doubt that will ever be the focus of the strip, but if Willis ever decide to make a politically themed spinoff that would be an AWESOME setting. Goofball Congresman Robin trying to gain power without caring about the politics and levelheaded assistant Dorothy trying to steer her boss into more liberal political waters with little success. There will be shenanigans.

        The setting make it possible to include most of the cast as cameos or regular cast. Leslie and Robin get into a relationship and try to keep it hidden. Roz sniffs around, Walky comes to visit his girlfriend on regular basis, Sarah does an internship, Joyce visits, Dina… is there without explanation.

        1. Pope William T Wodium

          So much much different with Dina, then.

        2. Rycan

          Amber will volunteer on the tech team. And the opponent will either be a saner but still cutthroat Sydney Yus, or Dean McHenry.

        3. Bagge

          That would be fun. Since Dorothy is opposed to Robin’s political affiliations but would (presumably) like her as a person on some level, Sydney Yus would be closer to Dorothy’s political opinions but much less to her liking on a personal level. Much dramatic potential there.

      2. Airyu

        Didn’t Willis say they will never even reach sophomore year? So none of that will apply in the comic, I guess. :< I want to know more about their future~

        1. John

          If the strip continues at the ~year:week ratio that it’s been running at, the main cast will start sophomore year around 2060, graduate in about 200 years, and Dorothy will be eligible to run for President sometime around 2900.

        2. Rycan

          All being written by an immortal David Willis.

  21. Yotomoe

    I could honestly argue that I have a sex journal since I have lots of empty journals around my room.

    1. newllend(henryvolt)

      Are they all extra sex journals or are some them for those art pages your supposed to be keeping track of ?

  22. XMinusOne

    Cute shirt, but I’d rather see her boobs; or the part just over the nip anyway.

    “Wear the mac and cheese shirt, baby. It really gets me off.”

    1. Gigafreak

      http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/02-threes-a-crowd/stillhere/
      Dorothy offered to wear it on her own.

      …Man, I remember how the old It’s Walky cast page described Walky as liking his nachos so much that he’d have sex with a bag of them if it were possible. Did Dumbingverse Walky just sort of have sex with the concept of macaroni and cheese while doing it with Dorothy?

      1. John

        Better than having sex with actual macaroni and cheese.

        Or at least less messy.

  23. TheLurkerAbove

    So for some strange reason, this pillow talk is kind of a turn on…

    1. Orbit Junkie

      What do you mean strange? Charts and graphs are a perfectly rational turn-on.

      1. John

        Perhaps one of the most rational turn ons.

        1. Doctor_Lantern

          Perhaps we should chart and/or graph it to see just how rational it really is…

        2. Jess

          The Faz are multiplying… 0.0

        3. Deanatay

          It’s true! You all do realize that this ‘charts & graphs => sex’ thing is just encouraging Faz?

  24. Sock_V

    Just hope his parents don’t get a report card.

    1. Bill

      “A+++, would sex again.”

  25. Adam Black

    I totally forget why walky was upset, so I assume the he did too

    1. Bagge

      “David, I’m concerned about your recent performance. A girl like Dorothy deserves your very best effort.”
      “Moooooooom”
      “So I have enlisted your friend Michael’s father to tutor you.”
      “Moooooooooooooooom”
      “Here’s a tip for you, sport, penetrate her at a 33 degree angle and…”
      “You go dad.”

      1. Bagge

        …That was meant as a reply to Sock_V‘s comment above.

        1. Rycan

          Might actually be funnier here, in an off-the-wall fashion.

  26. T Campbell

    Danny and Dorothy are kind of a neat study in good and bad self-deprecation. When Danny talks himself down, I get squirmy, because I know that he often feels he is truly worthless, especially without a girlfriend. I feel like he is disguising an act of emotional abuse aimed at himself.

    Dorothy, though, not only wants to be President but feels she can be, and a good President at that, when she’s not freaking out over breaking one of her rules. And in the meantime, she’s a good girlfriend, student, and friend. Here, she’s making a little fun of foibles she has no trouble admitting to, which not only keeps the mood nice and light but makes her boyfriend’s own bruised ego a little more soothed.

    1. J42

      I have nothing to offer my agreement except to say THIS

    2. Bagge

      And as a consequence of that their self deprecation serves opposite goals. Danny uses it as a technique to make the conversation about him, to either gain pity or affirmation (depending on wether the person he talks to agrees with him or not). I doubt he’s aware of it, but it’s an sadly all too true consequence of a bad self image, and it’s one of the things that drives people like Joe nuts.

      Dorothy uses it to open up to the conversation partner and make herself more available, more accessible. She does it with Joyce several times (“I think it’s cute that you think I know more than you”), and I think that’s one of the main reasons Joyce were so quick to call her Second Best Thing EVER!!!!

      1. Spencer

        I doubt it’s anything that malicious on his part. Putting himself down has become such an ingrained part of Danny’s personality that he honestly doesn’t realize he’s doing it, or that it’s at all unwarranted.

        1. Bagge

          Oh, I completely agree that it’s not malicious, or even conscious for most parts. And it is a fully understandable consequence of a low self esteem. Its a reason to pity Danny rather than scold him.

          But his behavior is problematic because it takes away from the conversation rather than adding to it. It puts the conversation partner in a position to either flatter Danny’s ego (like Ethan does) or insult him (like Joe does), or deflect the topic with varying degree of annoyance (like both Dorothy and Amber does occasionally (two examples) and then having the burden to restart the conversation while Danny feels sorry for himself.

          Contrast to Dorothy’s way of using the technique to make a conversation happen and ease into topics that would otherwise been hard to bring up, as seen here or in a few of her interactions with Joyce.

          Again – Danny does NOT do this by choice and it’s NOT as calculated as I make it sound. It’s a consequence of his background, personal issues and low social maturity. But then again, that’s true for most of the stuff that bugs us with these characters.

        2. Bagge

          First example with working html…

  27. Yotomoe

    Dottie careful with those charts. That’s how Faz started. It’s a slippery slope.

    1. bleeters

      Look at her face in the last panel. She’s already begun the metamorphosis.

      1. Doctor_Lantern

        Oh God… I didn’t notice that till now…

      2. Rodimiss

        Oh god, it’s true.

      3. No Name

        I don’t suppose we can prove that Wen is Dorothy’s half sister, can we?

      4. Urukak

        If this comic has taught me anything, it’s that everyone looks like Faz when their eyes are closed.

  28. HMRC4EVR

    Well, none of us saw this coming as the strip for today did we?

    1. Solenoid

      That’s because seeing this coming would be the sort of thing reserved for Slipshine.

    2. newllend(henryvolt)

      At least its not you know who for a nother 5 to 8 pages

      1. begbert2

        Blaine?

    3. Deanatay

      Weeeell, unless you’re on the Patreon, no…

  29. newllend(henryvolt)

    You know what would be really fucking inconvenient ? In the future when she’s running for president Someone some how gets a hold of these Journals.

    1. John

      Eh, she already stars in a porno comic on the Internet, how much worse could it get?

      1. Rabid Rabbit

        The information campaign about the journal and comic will be run by Mary. That’s how bad it could get.

    2. Rycan

      I’ve wondered just how ridiculously spotless your record needs to be in order to successfully run for President of the USA nowadays.

      1. hof1991

        Not very. Bush was a cocaine user, skipped out on military service, hid out in a Guard unit with members of the Dallas Cowboys, ran a couple of businesses into bankruptcy. God forbid you tweet something though.

    3. J42

      I can’t wait til every presidential candidate has tons of mildly embarrassing Facebook photos floating around, to the point that no-one even cares and it’s not even news.

      1. zach

        It will ALWAYS be news.
        Until we start yelling at our kids for acting like 12 year olds instead of encuraging them.

        1. StClair

          You mean until we admit we did the same stupid stuff when we were their age.
          (So, never.)

        2. Deanatay

          Problem is, when we do so, they will be able to go on the Internet and look up PROOF that we did these same things when we were their ages, thus undermining our authority.

        3. Jon P

          Why should we yell at our 12-year-old kids for acting like 12-year-olds?

        4. John

          It’s the media that we need to yell at for acting like 12-year-olds.

      2. Bill

        So far his stupid decisions don’t seem to be affecting that guy from Wisconsin yet.

  30. Doctor_Lantern

    And Willis throws another one of his famous cliffhanger fastballs. This here is how Willis does a cliffhanger while updating 7 days a week. And it is highly effective…

  31. Drakkin the Alien

    “not an error…the subject is still under control.”

  32. brasca1

    I hate to say it or think it, but I think Faz has Dorothy beat on graphs and statistics.

    1. Carriethedragon

      “Enjoy this graph of the number of times per day in which we have successfully entwined our genitalia.”

      1. Bill

        “Entwined genitalia”??
        Damn, that sounds painful as hell.

  33. dailybrad

    I like this couple.

  34. Orbit Junkie

    Willis officially has the same resume as PornHub; he is an internet pornlord who collects sex statistics.

  35. Ray

    I bet they performed Runge-Cutta on each other, too…..

  36. An Axolotl Lord

    Oh god. I don’t know why, but when I look at that last frame all I see is a blonde white version of Faz lying there. O.o

    http://www.shortpacked.com/index.php?id=204

  37. Fancymancer

    Seeing the Kraft shirt has caused me to only just now noticed Walky says “Oh Jeez” instead of “Oh Cheese.” I guess there isn’t a giant cloaked swiss-robot demigod floating around this verse.

    1. John

      He says “Cheese” too, sometimes. The Cheese is a character in the D&MM show, apparently.

  38. Bibulb

    “Errant Farts” is totally the name of my Bon Iver/GWAR cover band.

    1. DeCorrector

      COPYRIGHT TO THIS IDEA IS HELD BY GALASSO!

  39. Jon P

    Looks like the two of them spread some sheets ifyaknowwhatimean.

  40. saltchocolate

    Spreadsheet, spread-eagle. I see the connection.

  41. Garrett

    Wally’s face in that last frame, I don’t know if he’s worried about his performance, the whole “love” thing, or everything else…

    1. timemonkey

      He’s wondering why people keep calling him Wally.

      1. Gigafreak

        He got off in under a minute because he, like Wally West, is too fast

        1. timemonkey

          But Speedsters would also have instantaneous recover time. They could go forever.

  42. takashid

    well this is kind of an abrupt scene change from the Sal crew lol. For a second i thought id missed a strip or something

    1. All-purpose guru

      I read this as “Sal Screw” and was like, “wait, did I miss something?”

  43. Archivist

    This clever banter, I can’t handle it.

    (Walky’s going to be the best first husband when Dorothy’s president.)

    1. Jess

      If Dotty is the first female president, then Walky will be the First First-Husband.

      This makes me smile so much. 🙂

  44. heavvymetalqueen

    D’awwwww, snappy post sex banter <3

  45. Bill

    And another politician goes down the drain after discovering the pleasures of the flesh.

  46. Architex

    I love these two.

  47. Locke

    Was there another Slipshine or did you skip past a few pages?

    1. timemonkey

      Dorothy offered to sex Walky up to cheer him up during lunch, with the Joyce drama completed they moved on to their own thing.

  48. brute

    I accidentally hit “random” and the comic i ended up seeing was walky clutching a doodle of dorothy, claiming her name was gary and they would totally get man-married.

    Aww.

    1. Architex

      I WAS RE-READING AND JUST CAME ACROSS THAT ONE TOO

  49. Bill

    Question — why ‘teal’?  And since when does Walky start making color distinctions like that?  Most males would be satisfied with calling it “blue” and letting it go at that.

    1. wwwhhattt

      Untrue, at least according to the XKCD colour survey results.

    2. No Name

      I dunno, I find teal to be far to green to simply be called “blue”. If anything it’s the perfect example of “grue”.

  50. 6Qubed

    Fucking adorable.

    1. saltchocolate

      Post-fucking adorable.

    2. Aolbain

      Adorably fucking

    3. Gigafreak

      Cuddling each other instead of themselves

      1. John

        I’ve totally forgotten who that other chick Aubrey’s talking to is.

  51. Sir Robin

    This strip just solidifies how I always read Dorothy sounding like Twilight Sparkle

    1. ninja_jesus

      Dear Princess Celestia…

    2. Bagge

      “Every pony here is CRAZY”

    3. Bagge

      …I assume there are Twilight Sparkle Sex Journal fanfics. I assume I will NOT spend the next hour searching for them.

      1. Machine of Slight Discomfort

        Because you would only need a minute to find them?

        1. Bagge

          10 seconds. Flat.

        2. Gamaran Sepudomyn

          Google loads in under two seconds for me, usually.

        3. Deanatay

          … plus eight seconds to type in the search.

    4. Sir Robin

      Also, Amber sounds like Sari Sumdac

  52. ninja_jesus

    So wait… at the end of it all, is sex the one they have in common with each other?

    1. timemonkey

      Sex, independence, Dexter and Monkey Master, caring deeply about their friends, among other things it’s too early to remember.

      1. Killjoy

        Compared to other examples in DoA, I’d say they have one of the healthier relationships, especially considering their age.

        1. Bagge

          I agree, but that kinda IS a low bar. On the top of my head I can’t think of any other relationship with a decent amount of screen-time that is even borderline healthy.

        2. timemonkey

          The relationship where the couple has the most in common and would be the most emotionally stable and healthy has sadly yet to happen.

        3. Bagge

          I like to think that Danny’s and Dorothy’s high school relationship was this for awhile, but the only (sorta) positive aspect of it we ever saw was the breakup.

        4. Spencer

          Dorothy wouldn’t stick around in a relationship that made her unhappy. I’m pretty sure she was fine with Danny, but she wanted to focus on more important things than her high school relationship.

          TBH I hope we see some interaction between the two of them someday. A preview panel for May showed Danny interacting with Joyce and co. so it’s possible.

        5. Bagge

          I’m pretty fond of some of the small things like this that shows mutual respect and that they are moving on.

        6. John

          I dunno, I read Danny’s last line there as kind of bitter and sarcastic, though looking at his expression now I’m not sure that’s accurate.

        7. Bagge

          John: I can easily see it read that way, and Danny is absolutely not over Dorothy at that point (or at least not over her dumping him). But the way I read it is him making the effort of accepting that she moves on rather than him being sarcastic.

    2. John

      They have plenty of other stuff in common, too, as timemonkey says. And Walky has complete faith in Dorothy’s ability to fulfill her dream, which is huge (and a big part of the reason she dumped Danny’s ass).

      But it’s actually the places where they’re opposites that I think make this the healthiest relationship in the comic. They act as moderating influences on each other, and they both need that. Left to their own devices, Walky would slack off until he failed out of college, and Dorothy would isolate herself with her books until she burned out. He helps her loosen up a little, and she helps him tighten down a little, and they’re both better off for it.

  53. Bagge

    Heh, she did buy the t-shirt. AND she had it during sexy-times. Double win.

    Awww. Dorothy doesn’t know about the bad math score. She thinks it’s the love thing that bothers him and tries to get him to open up

    1. Deanatay

      Walky: “So, seriously, how good was I?”
      Dorothy: “On a scale from 1 to 100? I’d say… about… 26?”
      Walky: “Whu-”
      Sal: : “Oh, my God, 26? Really??”
      Dorothy: “I know, right?” *both start laughing*
      *All of Walky’s friends appear in room, laughing*
      *Walky starts from bed, screaming, drenched in sweat. He is alone.*

      1. Bagge

        Jason: “Tsk, tsk tsk. That’s what you get for doodling dinosaurs.”
        Walky *wakes up*: “NOOOOOOOO, DON’T TAKE MY DINOSAURS.”
        Dina from behind the door: “I find myself experiencing similarity themed nightmares on a regular basis.”

    2. John

      This is at least the second time she’s worn it for Walky.

      1. Bagge

        Oooh, I missed that. And back then they both wore the clothes the other picked out for them. Cute.

  54. Twilightomens

    Eww love.
    On another note, I really want some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese now.

  55. Foxhack

    “Dorothy and Walky experience an Errant Fart.”

    Coming soon to you know where.

  56. Gate of Seven Ores

    *looks at T-Shirt*
    Cool. Subliminal messaging/advertising.
    *realizes current/recent situation*
    …OH! Oh damn! I get it! Damn you, Willis!

    1. Gate of Seven Ores

      Oh goodie. I’m Ethan now. Splendid!

      1. Narf

        Thats actually Ken, unless I miss my guess. From Shortpacked!

        1. Narf

          I… Don’t think I recognize who I am.

        2. 3oranges

          You’re Alice! As seen in this one 5-comic encounter.

          For myself, I’m very happy to finally not be represented by Mary.

        3. Narf

          Ah, thank you!

        4. John

          Ken has had a grand total of one appearance in this universe.

    2. Rowen Morland

      current/recent situation?

  57. Robert

    So Walky’s being audited? Is Dorothy even ISO 9000 certified?

    1. Killjoy

      She’s been ISO 9000 certified since the age of 7.

      1. Robert

        lol I think it would hilarious if while administrating the audit she went back on her notes and discovered that the whole reason she wound up in bed with Walky in the first place was because she was trying to get the scoop on Amazi-Gril.

    2. LTBlue15

      Possibly my favorite comment ever

  58. Roborat

    Wait, she had sex with that shirt on? While that is a great shirt, it covers those glorious breasticles, access to which is an essential part of the sex experience.

    1. Yotomoe

      No they’re not. Besides, being under a shirt doesn’t mean they’re not there. He can grab them through or under the shirt if they’re really that necessary.

    2. Jen

      Half clothed sex can be fun sometimes. To quote the British TV show Hyperdrive, “She’s got on tops and no bottoms! That’s ruder than nothing at all!” Sometimes partially clothed can seem even more naked than naked. 🙂

      1. The_Master

        Right? That shirt says, “I can’t wait for you to get me out of these pants.”

    3. John

      I hate this “breasticle” neologism. Breasts are awesome, and they’ve already got more slang terms than probably any other body part (except maybe penises). Why you gotta turn them into dude parts? It’s an ugly word, too, not at all fitting of the magnificence of the female breast.

      Also, if you think a T-shirt’s removing Dorothy’s breasts from the sex experience, you need to get more creative.

      1. 3oranges

        Also, is it supposed to mean they’re small? Because you know particles, cubicles, canticles, articles, all based on diminutives.

      2. Roborat

        I didn’t turn them into dude parts, at least not on purpose, it’s what I have always called them, I think it’s funny. For the record, I think breasts are awesome. And when I am having sex, I prefer the breasts (there, you happy?) to be freely accessible, as does my wife.

  59. Bilal Kalyal

    He’s lucky there isn’t a full report on it.

    1. Orbit Junkie

      Dorothy would never do that; it would hurt her presidential campaign. If you want a detailed report published in a reputable journal, you have to go to Roz.

      1. Bilal Kalyal

        But would that be a reliable report?

  60. Pinja

    All this normal sex is getting dull, where is the kinky stuff?

    1. Bagge

      In the TA’s office…

      1. Pinja

        Student/Teacher is only kinky if you RP it. Otherwise it’s just skeezy.

        1. Lel

          >implying a TA only a few years older than you isn’t really a skeevy partner unless they mark you.

        2. Pinja

          No?

        3. Bagge

          I was thinking more in the line of handcuffs, but yeah, there is most definitely some skeeziness involved in Student/TA relationships, but I have ranted enough about that in just about every friggin’ Jason-strip so I will let it be for now.

    2. tim gueguen

      You’ll have to wait for that until Joyce actually has a sex life. Of course the kind of kinky that might come out of Joyce is bound to be exceedingly odd.

      1. Orbit Junkie

        “Rub it on my tummy!”

        1. Spencer

          Coming soon to slipshine: Joyce Rubs It On Her Tummy.

  61. Random

    wait… why did he specify “errant” farts?

    1. John

      It’s Walky; don’t ask.

      1. Bagge

        Because he’s masking his insecurities about sexual adequacy as a joke. #BoringButAccurate

  62. Tenn

    When the time comes, Dina can borrow Dorothy’s notes.

    “Hm. This experiment seems interesting. I shall try to replicate it.”

  63. ailorn

    This seems a promising way to switch conversation to other grades.

    1. ailorn

      Who am I?

      1. Spencer

        Other Rachel.

        1. Ailorn

          Thanks 🙂 … I may go back to my custom gravatar…

      2. The_Master

        I don’t know if that’s a reference to the fact that our avatars seemed to have switched, or possibly just mine, but I have no idea who my character is supposed to be either.

        1. Bagge

          I think you are… (checking tag to confirm).. YES, you are Pamela, Queen of Pizza (and Subs).
          http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/02-guess-whos-coming-to-galassos/pepsi/

          *shortpacked spoiler*

          In an alternate universe you changed the very laws of narrative causality for your own ends, which makes your username highly suitable.

  64. DuckDuckMoose

    I’m married to an epidemiologist and biostatistician, so I won’t even pretend I’m not gonna steal y’all’s sextistics jokes for practical use.

    Also, of course groping breasts through a sexy shirt or dress is hot. I guess I just assumed that was one of those things all sexually active people do occasionally.

    1. Solenoid

      Glad to have contributed to your pillow talk.

  65. Pantheon the Mantheon

    Doesnt everyone document their sexual experiences?…..

    1. Pantheon the Mantheon

      Oh hey, Im Sarah now. PANTHEON IS PLEASED BY THIS TURN OF EVENTS.
