    Best girlfriend poll when?

    1. Nymph

      A sock.

      1. Clif

        Have a spare Internet.

    2. Thag Simmons

      Well, I don’t think Charlie’s got much of a shot.

    3. Nono

      Well, not Carla.

      1. Needfuldoer

        Carla gets herself deadlocked between having the best girlfriend ever and being the best girlfriend ever.

        1. Eric

          Asking Carla who’s the best girlfriend (her, or hers) is how you stop her when she’s gone into Terminator mode

  2. Nymph

    Charlie and Dina meet at last! Love this <3

    1. Freezer

      Dina (Thinking): Is this what people feel when they meet me for the first time? Unsure how to feel about that.

      1. Nymph

        I doubt very seriously that this is what she’s thinking.

    2. Opus the Poet

      Charly is Dina^2.

  3. AY

    Let the Girlfriend Games commence?

    1. Jamie

      For some reason, Danny shows up as a contestant. No one’s really sure what to make of it.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Plot twist: he wins.

        1. Davus

          And everyone will accept it, because they can make fun of him for it. And also because it will stop people from arguing, because the idea that he wins is sufficiently ridiculous that people won’t feel like their loss implies anything about themselves but rather that Danny’s victory reinforces the absurdity of the situation.
          (And I’m going like, am I being an English teacher because what is just coming out of my mouth right now.)

      2. Radiance

        She’s a good egg.

        1. butts

          honestly if that were really the direction Willis wanted to take Danny’s character, i’d be here for it

        2. Dante

          Yeah. My camp here is “not my headcanon and I like Danny’s current presentation, but I’d go very Hell Yeah!! if it happened”

        3. Benjamin Geiger

          From a Watsonian perspective, I’d be cool with it, but from the Doylist side I’d be annoyed. It feels like the contrapositive of toxic masculinity: if you aren’t made of testosterone-soaked machismo, then you must be trans because you aren’t a Real Man.

        4. Rose by Any other Name

          *chef kiss*
          I would be down for that plotline. Maybe in parallel with Joyce/Joycelene reveal.

    2. Sirksome

      We should fear the imminent girlfriend war and the blood and devastation that battle will usher in.

      1. Michael Steamweed

        The apocalytpic devastation will be truly terrible, yes. However, the universal vows for organization and peace will achieve everything the UN couldn’t accomplish. Global unity through applications of quantum mechanics science and rigorous mathematical psychohistory for the assignment of girlfriends (and boyfriends, too) will usher in a millennium of growth and stability.

    3. foamy

      That sounds like the kind of contest where the prize is a golden apple.

  4. ADLegend21

    Carla is the Victor, Carla number 1!

    1. Mark

      Wait, are you saying there are more Carlas?

      1. Deanatay

        Can’t be. If there were, she’d use they/them pronouns.

  5. Nejireon

    Welp, can’t fault her logic!

    1. ValdVin

      In universe it’s late January. Out here it’s state fair season.

      Carla goes about picking girlfriends like a judge would choose the prize pumpkin. Expect Charlie to be wearing a blue ribbon in tomorrow’s strip.

  6. not someone else

    Please be friends please be friends Dina Charlie best autistic queer lady platonic besties <3

    1. ian livs

      Well, Charlie does appreciate lizards. Maybe she likes dinosaurs?

      1. Opus the Poet

        Take my imaginary upvote!

      2. Michael Steamweed

        Charlie has no dinosaurs and low attention focus. Dina has dinosaurs and good attention focus. H1 says if we introduce dinosaurs to Charlie, then Charlie will have good attention focus. Experiment designs are underway; funding is being sought. We anticipate eventual publishing in preeminent autism and paleontology research journals.

        1. Michael Steamweed

          And it worked! Introducing dinosaurs as both topic and headgear worked great! Yay! for science!!

      3. Proxiehunter

        What if she thinks dinosaurs are terrible?

  7. HueSatLight

    Sorry, but Carla came in second. Because Charlie came in first.

    1. Nymph

      The only competition she will ever acknowledge a loss in.

  8. MisterJinKC

    I’d be careful Carla. We’ve already seen Dina attack a guy with a shotgun for disrespecting Becky.

    1. Nymph

      I like that the way you phrased this makes it sound like Dina had the shotgun.

      1. Yumi

        And also that the main issue was that he was disrespectful.

        1. Nymph

          Also this, yes.

        2. NGPZ

          only in the USA, the land of God, Guns and FREEDOM™ :/

        3. ktbear

          That is both the most American thing Ive heard today and the most ridiculous. Congratulations!

        4. MisterJinKC

          Oh it was never the main issue, but his being disrespectful of Becky’s decision to live without shame or hiding her orientation WAS a major part of the action taken as a result of the main issue.

      2. Jamie

        Y’know what I don’t know? Are other languages as desperate as English is for punctuation to provide clarity of meaning?

        1. Reltzik

          We have plenty of punctuation for clarity of meaning we just opt not to use it.

        2. Michael Steamweed

          You used a period at the end of your comment. I am disappointed in your lack of punctuation anarchy.

        3. Reltzik

          Ah, but that comment was actually two sentences and should have included a period and capitalized letter in the middle. Instead of having a hard and fast rule of always ignoring punctuation rules, I employed a loose policy of SOMETIMES ignoring punctuation rules. Loose polices are more anarchic than hard and fast rules.

          And since the punctuation in question was a period, it was POINTEDLY more anarchic.

        4. Michael Steamweed

          Me (rubbing chin thoughtfully): Hmm, yes, I am starting to see your points.

        5. Nymph

          No, some are desperately reliant on tone and context.

        6. BarerMender

          I wouldn’t call a handy tool “desperation.” And I won’t let anyone dis the English language without saying something.

        7. Nymph

          Something.

          The English language smells funny and I heard it eats bananas with the peel still on.

        8. zee

          Bro fuck the English language what are you talking about?
          I have never seen a first language English speaker defend the English language before. I mean y’know besides weird old British people and old common wealth people who hate themselves and wish they were British. Even racist Americans are more defending ‘murican than English as a language

        9. zee

          Dead center in the context scale sucks. Not straightforward like German or Dutch but not even that pretty and poetic like Mandarin or Japanese

        10. Dante

          Hey, from an ESL perspective here! I like English. It feels like such a sandbox language. You can verb nouns, play around with the order of the sentences, and in general, and do a ton of wordplay other more structured languages wouldn’t allow for.

          It’s also a mess rife with idioms, that greedily devoured everything it could from Latin and its grandkids. But it’s a fun mess.

        11. Marisa Mockery

          I like English. It’s the only one I’m successful at. I tried some of the others and it didn’t stick :/ I just can’t remember the words

        12. M!a

          Oh dear fucking gawds that’s hilarious.

          English is the product of an island nation being overrun by culture after culture, bearing language after language, until the native tongue is an unidentifiable mongrel that breaks its own rules twelve times in every sentence.

          English is made up of all the words that got kicked out of the decent languages. xD

        13. Mark

          Well, actually what this sentence needs is a prepositional phrase to connect the weapon to its holder.

      3. MisterJinKC

        Hadn’t thought of that when I wrote it, but when you mentioned it I saw what you meant immediately.

  9. Yumi

    I accidentally clicked “random” when tryin to go to the comments, and then the first comment started off, “I’m really sympathizing with Danny here.” Which was confusing.

  10. NGPZ

    a contest? is this what earthlings call “prom”?

    1. Nymph

      It is not.

    2. Thing2

      Prom? Promenade? Last night of the Proms? What is a prom?

      1. Jeremiah

        Those school dances things that often shows up in American tv shows set in high school.

        1. Daibhid C

          And which were imported to the UK in the 2000s, apparently, which thankfully was long after I left school.

          When I was at school we had the school disco, and the great thing about that was that you didn’t need a date and wore your regular clothes, and that was fine and nobody judged you for it.

          (Well. They maybe judged you if your regular clothes happened to be Danny From The Bash Street Kids cosplay, as mine were one year, but that’s a special case.)

      2. Michael Steamweed

        We can’t tell you about proms. We are sworn to secrecy. Mum’s the word. 😀

  11. ian livs

    I know Carla is being ridiculous here (affectionate), but I also think it’s kinda sweet. Especially since people often tend to look at people with Charlie’s collection of traits as more “weird” than “the best possible” (saying this as a Charlie appreciator who thinks she deserves the best).

    1. Jeremiah

      It is extremely sweet and I want more of it. It’s that “Yout all better applaud my boyfriend when he comes or I will bomb this this place” meme basically.

  12. Sirksome

    Carla’s gonna show her best girlfriend Charlie to everyone on campus wearing a salmon suit!

    1. ktbear

      Everyone on campus wearing a salmon suit sounds like a fairly small group to me.

      1. Nymph

        Unless they pre-arranged something.

        1. Clif

          Why would you wear a salmon suit if you’re not a salmon?

        2. John Campbell

          Halloween costume.

      2. Mark

        Not on Salmon Saturday!

    2. Deanatay

      So, if no one on campus is wearing a salmon suit, she doesn’t have to show Charlie to anyone?

      1. spriteless aunty

        No, she won’t have to show Charlie to anyone for the statement to be true. Carla can and will show Charlie to extra people

  13. Kyrik Michalowski

    Out of curiosity; what neuro-divergency does Charlie have that would cause her to just blink in, and out like this?

    1. Dday

      All signs point to ADD

    2. C.T. Phipps

      I assume that Charlie is just having an “exaggerated for comic affect” ADD.

      As Azumanga Daioh shows.

      https://www.deviantart.com/tailsfan95/art/ADD-Vs-ADHD-The-difference-243693041

      1. Doctor_Who

        I promise to imagine Charlie talking like Osaka from now on.

        Problem is, I imagine Booster talking like Brandon Rogers from Helluva Boss, and they’re siblings, and I’m not sure my headcanon can accept TWO sets of twins one of whom has managed to acquire a Southern accent.

        1. Rose by Any other Name

          This comment makes me like Booster at least 10% more than I previously did.

          Seriously, there are remarkably few characters who wouldn’t be improved by being voice-acted by Brandon Rogers.

        2. Jeremiah

          Blitzo Booster is not an image I needed or wanted but it is on my Brian now.

    3. NGPZ

      Unconfirmed, but probably autism, ADHD, or both.

      This happens to me all the time. People have literally mistook me for being drunk or high when I’m actually sober XD

      1. BorkBorkBork

        Seems reasonably close to my nephew’s autism. Basically too distracted with his own thoughts to really pay much attention to what’s going on around him.

    4. Taffy

      She plays Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

    5. BBCC

      Uncertain but current guesses range from ADHD to a TBI.

    6. Dante

      I’ve always thought Booster is autistic. They have the “big vocabulary, people skills learned in manual mode” thing. Throwing my hat in the ring, I’m revising my tentative “maybe it’s amnesia” and say Charlie is either autistic too, or AUDH (inattentive.)

      If she straight out dissociates instead of just being super easily distracted… Eh. Dissociation happens in these three things (ASD, ADHD, the fusion) as a symptom. We can fit so many in us :’DD

    7. Bruno

      What a world we live in where readers get confused if they can’t immediately diagnose the characters. Charlie’s Charlie, get over it Dr. Kevorkian.

      1. Kyrik Michalowski

        Where did I say I was confused? This his has nothing to do with diagnosing a character. It has to do with trying to understand a character’s unique traits, and have a better idea how they would act if I was in their world in front of them.

        Also I get it that you are trying to say, “people are more than their health issues both mental, and physical” but saying that “Charlie’s Charlie” is also reductive.

        1. Bruno

          No, it isn’t. Nobody in the world prefers being armchair diagnosed for internet stereotyping purposes to being accepted for who they are.

        2. Bruno

          Or maybe it is, and you’re just behaving in a way that deserves to be reduced, as dumbing of age comments tend to.

        3. Jeremiah

          Calling it “internet stereotyping” it’s kind of weird and uncalled for, You seems to be reading what Kyrik said in really bad faith when it’s not really guaranteed

        4. dalniente

          Yes, armchair diagnosing is shitty. This is not that. This is speculating about a fictional character. Maybe reserve this level of rage for harm done to real people instead of conflating the two.

        5. Dante

          Dumbing of Age has a very diverse cast of characters – some more fleshed out than others, but all of them pretty 3d. Many of them are neurodivergent in some way.

          The also pretty neurodiverse readership doing light character analysis and connecting with them through traits in common is not nearly in the ballpark of Armchair Diagnosis – a shitty thing done to actual people.

      2. Doopyboop

        In addition to what Kyrik and Jeremiah said, I hope you know who Dr. Kevorkian is and aren’t just throwing out a random doctor name, because calling Kyrik such a name over a really benign question is pretty rude and has crazy ass implications.

        1. Taffy

          From Wikipedia, for the curious:

          Murad Jacob “Jack” Kevorkian (May 26, 1928 – June 3, 2011) was an American pathologist and euthanasia proponent. He publicly championed a terminal patient’s right to die by physician-assisted suicide, embodied in his quote, “Dying is not a crime”. Kevorkian said that he assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He was convicted of murder in 1999 and was often portrayed in the media with the name of “Dr. Death”.

          He’s not even a good example of someone obsessed with diagnosing mental conditions. He just killed people. That’s like referring to a vehicle safety inspector as Ted Bundy, the two things don’t relate. You suck at this, Bruno.

        2. Dante

          Holy shit. I thought Bruno was mocking Kyrik’s name or something, this is awful.

        3. Bruno

          Not least because I actually agree with Kevorkian on that.

    8. Bogeywoman

      AuDHD is my vote, definitely not because I relate so hard as a Charlie with the same hair, glasses, and social habits

    9. dalniente

      ADHD: predominantly inattentive, possibly with a side of autism and/or cognitive disengagement, same as me.

  14. Reltzik

    Look, let’s compromise. Dina, you can say it was not a contest, and Carla, you can say it was no contest.

    1. Opus the Poet

      This is unprecedented, I have two imaginary upvotes for the comments in a single comic post of DoA.
      Also unPresidented (IYKYK).

  15. Pocky

    this interaction is rare; but welcomed.

  16. sultryglebe

    You can instantly see the effect of no iguana on Charlie’s head.

    1. Michael Steamweed

      Yes, very clear effects. We need many more repetitions of these on and off situations. This is for science.

  17. Nono

    Honestly surprised Carla remembered Dina’s name.

    1. Jeremiah

      Dina is one of the cool ones in Carla head.

  18. Chaucer59

    Every time Carla speaks, I hear Nine Inch Nails belting out “Head Like a Hole.”

  19. Armadillo

    This is all complete nonsense because the real winner is obviously Becky.

  20. Endplanets

    Supreme Victory!
    Babality!

    1. JR

      Friendship.
      …Friendship? Again?

      1. ZerglingOne

        I love how they put that into the game, and it was just utterly amazing. Then they were like “NO, we’re a SERIOUS game that is to be RESPECTED!”

        And then fuckin’….8.5 installments later and here we are again.

  21. BBCC

    Don’t feel bad, Dina, you still won the best girlfriend named Becky contest.

    1. Taffy

      Name even one other girlfriend named Becky.

      1. John Campbell

        Becky, obviously.

      2. Masumi

        Well, there’s also Becky!

      3. Mark

        Ask Tom Sawyer.

        1. Needfuldoer

          Don’t put him down as arrogant.

    2. Yumi

      I don’t often think about The Weekenders, but when I do, it’s about how Tino didn’t even get voted Best Tino.

      1. Sirksome

        I love the Weekenders. Tino’s mom was goated and it was one of the first cartoon shows I remember depicting a divorce, single parent home. One of my favorite episodes is when Carver races a guy and Lor accidentally beats them both running backwards.

        1. Daibhid C

          I know it’s an acronym, but it’s impossible for me to parse using “goat” as a verb correctly, so my immediate reaction was “they did that in a kids’ cartoon???” Sorry.

        2. Taffy

          Now I’m curious what you thought they did in a kids’ cartoon.

        3. thejeff

          I agree. Even as a noun, my initial read is always wrong and I have to go back and reparse every time.

          I guess I’m an old.

        4. Regret

          I am not hip either. Also, I never feel the need to declare something the greates of all time, it seems very self-absorbed to think so hyperbolically.

        5. Taffy

          That’s a silly thing to say. Hyperbole is self-centered now?

        6. spriteless aunty

          picky picallo

        7. Regret

          I am assuming here that the person declaring something The Greatest Of All Time is saying so honestly. If they’re being insincere, then that’s not on me. If you exagerate and I believe you, that’s a you problem.

        8. BBCC

          I also love The Weekenders, and Tino’s mom is the best. It was one of my favourite divorced mom depictions (Buster’s mom on Arthur is good too).

          As for Best Tino? Yeah, that was rough.

  22. Dante

    Dina is right, though! (As Always.) Charlie DOES match Carla’s individual needs.

    Carla hast to be always the center of attention, yeah? But very crucially: She’s attracted to girls who make her work for it. If memory serves she’s even hinted at it, herself. And oh, Charlie so fits the bill! Except it won’t be out of malice.

    It’s really sweet.

    1. RocketRelm

      … see when you put it like that I very abruptly understand why Carla’s attracted. I didn’t quite get it before but I appreciated the neurodivergent rep, but this centered it around for me to something my brain can wrap around. Is super sweet.

      1. Dante

        I’m right there with you. It hadn’t hit until this strip! Dina’s comment made them click as a ship for me, I’m rooting for them now :33!

        Carla also fits Charlie like a glove. In a world so easy to miss (or let slip), a colorful beacon who keeps grounding her back has to be an oasis.

    2. dalniente

      Oh this makes perfect sense! I love this.

    3. HueSatLight

      I read the same line as foreboding. Yesterday’s strip had a reference to couples not working out because of mismatched sexual needs. I hope it’s nothing.

      1. Dante

        Hey, that’s interesting! I’d be up for it if it went that way too. Dina and Becky found a way to meet in the middle when there was the sexual compatibility thing. What about these two?

        It’s pretty neat when a story takes a positive trait and show how can it also be a flaw. Or turns a situation into dramatic irony.

  23. NinjaNick

    Carla’s such a champ.

  24. Carl Muckenhoupt

    Reminds me of a strip shortly after Dorothy broke up with Walky, and Walky says something like “What am I going to do now? I can’t fail upward into a better girlfriend! I already had the best one!”

    I’d post a link but I’m hav

    1. Carl Muckenhoupt

      ing trouble finding it

    3. Nedlum

      Emergency girl advice

      1. HueSatLight

        oh ya, that one’s it word for word.

  25. Speedball

    But at what cost, Carla? BUT AT WHAT COST?!

    1. Michael Steamweed

      It is as the prophecy foretold.

  26. Zamperla

    God these two are cute. I feel soothed…

  27. IntangibleMatter

    It’s a good thing it was Dina and not Becky because for Becky them would be fightin’ words

  28. Rebecca

    Note the gently leading Charlie around with the hand on the shoulder. Keeps her in the loop without constantly having to get her attention. Carla is being quite considerate here.

    1. spriteless aunty

      Hands are so OP

      1. yak

        1. yak

          *goated
          Fucking autocorrect

  29. All-Purpose Guru

    Pretty sure Carla’s brain and ego are completely broken at this point.

    1. Jeremiah

      What do that even mean?

      1. Taffy

        Carla OP, nerf plz

  30. Sharaku

    Aw, and Dina was doing so well. Welp, props to Carla for winning, i guess.

  31. Chris

    I’ve never thought about it before, but why is IU’s logo a trident? (Yes, I know it is I over U, but still)

    1. Mark

      Because some graphic designer was insufferably pleased with the work and failed to make that connection?

      1. Mark

        https://iuhoosiers.com/sports/2018/12/14/traditions#Trident

  32. ValdVin

    “This isn’t a contest, Carla.”
    “Damn right it isn’t!”

  33. Juanoku

    She’s lucky charlie is so scatterbrained because i don’t see this relationship taking off, let alone exist without that

    1. Bryy

      Yup.

      It’s clear that Carla has actual feelings for Charlie, but she is about to find out that you actually need to allow yourself to be vulnerable in relationships.

      1. Taffy

        It has been five minutes. You people are so impatient.

        1. Bryy

          ?

          What does that have to do with Carla’s emotional growth?

        2. Taffy

          Ssshhhhhhh? It’s okay.

      2. Yumi

        She started some of that process literally last strip.

  34. Michael Steamweed

    The Fuckface is removed; the Charlie focus is gone. Charlie, you need to get your own Fuckface-type hat.

    1. Regret

      I second this proposal.

      1. Michael Steamweed

        And as we see the next day, success! Not a Fuckface, per se, but a dinosaur hat from Dina. Total success!

        1. Regret

          Yay!

  35. Needfuldoer

    I think I get it now, Charlie just interacts with the world on a 10 second tape delay!

  36. darkoneko

    very insufferable, much wow

  37. Bryy

    Carla is going to crash and burn so hard.

    1. Jeremiah

      From what?

      1. Da Boy

        Probably an attempt to build a ginormous statue of herself so everyone can see how awesome she is.

        1. Jeremiah

          That would rule though.

        2. Da Boy

          I swear if she was a Supervillain she’d be the Megamind kind “Presentation!”

  38. John

    Could Carla not be insufferable for just one day. One day.

    Also, methinks it’s not Dina she is trying to convince.

    1. Taffy

      She’s being extremely sufferable right now, it’s actually fine.

      1. John

        Agree to disagree.

        1. Taffy

          I don’t agree to that. You agree with me now.

        2. John

          Never.
          There is only one way to settle this, I see.
          Pistols at dawn!

        3. Taffy

          Reported for death threats. /sarcasm.

        4. John

          They can be Nerf pistols. I’m flexible.
          Ooh, we can go for waffles afterwards!

        5. SillyGoose

          Can I tag along for the waffles part?

        6. John

          Of course! The more the merrier!

        7. thejeff

          How about just a waffles duel?

        8. John

          …go on.

    2. Needfuldoer

      She could not!

    3. Jeremiah

      Yes you made your opinion about her incredibly clear. Honestly I don’t remember you ever commenting anything else.

      1. John

        I like to be consistent.

        1. Jeremiah

          You like to be consistent about something else? It gets a bit old.

        2. John

          I’ll take it into consideration and it will be discussed at the next council meeting.

  39. Adam Black

    This feels dominating and objectifying of Charlie.

    ( im surprised the comments dont hate this more )

    The implication is , that charlie needs to be the best and win a contest to be Carlas gf.

    The Comic has done multiple plots about “Dont rank Women” .
    I’m glad Dina isnt falling for the bait. Becky would.

    1. dalniente

      I wondered too, but honestly Carla is over-the-top this way about everything, and she’s been shown to treat Charlie well so far when they’re one on one. I’m choosing not to take it seriously, but I do totally get why you’re bothered.

      Definitely with you on Becky! I imagine her responding with similar jokey competitiveness, but I can’t decide if she would be honestly joking or secretly irritated. I do like that Willis chose Dina for it, instead.

    2. Jeremiah

      The comments aren’t hating it more because they are reasonable people with media literacy.

      1. spriteless aunty

        Woah woah woah, when did this happen? : P

        1. Jeremiah

          Okay so imagine that all the commenters have about an average to pretty good rating of “Not being weird” and “know how to read” and I believe Adam is all the way down there, at the Mariana trench.

  40. J

    Everyone else lost?
    So, Carla, you admit in getting you, Charlie lost?

    1. BorkBorkBork

      Honestly, as weird as that sounds, that’s some character growth.

  41. Adept

    Carla needs a new shtick. She’s the second most annoying often seen character after Billie.

    1. Jeremiah

      And I hope she conyinues to annoy you for the rest of the strips. She would be very happy about that.

      1. yak

        I don’t think Carla is intentionally annoying, although she might say she is because it would mean she’s winning. She is pretty clearly masking some deep insecurities.

        1. Jeremiah

          No, no Carla is definitely intentionally annoying some of the time because she likes the attention and getting a rise out of people (People like Mary specifically).

        2. yak

          Maybe specific people, but not in general. Not in this case. Also you sort of implied the person you’re replying to is “like Mary”.

        3. Jeremiah

          Unintentional but really funny thanks for printing it out.

        4. thejeff

          In her first appearance on the floor, during the Whiteboard Dingdong Bandit Saga, she complains that she has to build mindshare among the new freshmen because they don’t know she’s an asshole yet.

  42. Da Boy

    Can someone throw Carla some rope or maybe a really long ladder? I think she is done with digging for the bottom of her self-esteem.

    1. Jeremiah

      Because she is hyping up her new girlfriend?

      1. Da Boy

        No, because she comes off as absolutely Desperate to win this “I’m the Best” contest.

        1. Taffy

          You seem like you wait until after you’ve finished all of your food to drink any water.

        2. Da Boy

          If you were an artilleryman your enemies would love you.

        3. Taffy

          Thank you for the compliment, I genuinely would want to be a well-liked artilleryqueer. We’d be beefin’ with like, Portugal or somethin’ and they’d always be trying to get deployed to my territory because “Aquele homo de cabelos compridos não pode mirar em nada, ficaremos bem.”

        4. Da Boy

          And then you’d party like it’s Christmas Truce on the Western Front XD

        5. Jeremiah

          I used to do that when I was a kid because in my head there was a order to a meal, you first take the food and only when you finish it you take the drink. I thought that was a rule or something.

        6. Taffy

          Apparently some people just do that. I hope they at least know how to keep their food moist, so their guests aren’t chokin’ down sandpaper-style pork chops or whatever.

        7. Yumi

          I, meanwhile, drink a ton of water when having a meal, to the point where it was a running joke when I was growing up about how often my glass would be refilled when we were eating at a restaurant. It peaked at one point where the waiter was pouring water into my glass as I was trying to drink from it.

  43. Byron Orpheus

    Carla is number one! All others are number two or lower!

    1. thejeff

      “Who is Number One?”

      1. Needfuldoer

        William Riker.

      2. Mark

        “I am not a number! I am a free man!”

        1. thejeff

          “You are Number Two.”

  44. Rafinius

    Am I the only one who feels like this whole Charlie arc is taking what is essentially early onset dementia and making light of it in an unserious manner?

    1. Taffy

      Yes.

    2. Dante

      Naw, you’re ok, I got that feeling too at the beginning. It’s mostly gone now, though – some IRL stuff was tinting my perception that way. Also, I trust the Willis not to pull something like that :33

  45. Joshi

    I hope someone tells Carla she has the *second* best girlfriend, because obviously the best is Carla, and it locks her brain up
