    Season finale?

    Also I totes have the feeling they will learn ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

    1. Ana Chronistic

      aww, Amber rejoined the group, big moment

    2. Gerrico

      You have to learn moral lessons, or someone will die.

      1. Gerrico

        …oops, wrong link.
        You have to learn moral lessons, or someone will die.

        1. ValdVin

          Wait, there’s a Willis crossover I’ve been neglecting all the while? Welp, I know what I’m bingeing this holiday weekend.

    3. Lingo

      Hmm, I thought the next storyline doesn’t start until September 10, so what will the next 4 strips entail?

      TOMORROW: In a dark room, we see a gathering of Mary, Raidah, Asher, Rachel, and of course Sydney Yus. THE AXIS OF SOMETHING RE-FORM!!

      1. Bluesnake463

        I assume we will need some kind of closure with whats going on between Joyce’s mom and dad, perhaps a final conclusion leading to divorce.

        1. Needfuldoer

          I’m pretty sure that’s going to be one of the long-term plot threads of Season 2.

      2. showler

        Has to end with someone in bed and there is one person stuck in bed right now

        1. Needfuldoer

          It’s just an exterior shot of Read Hall, with voiceover of all the characters remarking about the day and wishing each other goodnight.

        2. Lingo

          Perhaps Joe? I’m a bit disappointed he’s not here. I know that he doesn’t know Amber is Amazi-Girl, unlike everyone here (or almost everyone), but Amber and Joe are apparently about to become step-siblings, so she has a reason to invite him, and maybe even tell him about AG.

      3. TachyonCode

        The next 4 pages are clearly gonna be about Danny going on an epic quest to discover why the hat has to go.

        Obviously.

        1. TachyonCode

          The timing of my prediction may seem a little unfair, but I did make it before reading the next page, so in my book that counts.

  2. StClair

    the hat has served its purpose.

    1. Doctor_Who

      I have been hoping the hat would die for ages.

      Now the healing can begin.

      1. butts

        GOOOOOD riddance

        (maybe it’ll take some of that danny-ness away with it)

        1. Norah

          We can hope. Although he Danned stuff up before the hat.

        2. SuperFroakie82

          It may have merely amplified his Danning abilities if recent events are anything to go off of.

        3. Undrave

          Don’t cry victory too easy. Danny could just turn up in a beret or, even worse, a trillby!

        4. Daibhid C

          Wasn’t the hat meant to be a symbol of a reduction in Dannyness? Like, Hat-Danny was “a good egg”, while No-Hat-Danny was the one who danned things up?

        5. Needfuldoer

          The hat didn’t stop him from Danning up that conversation in the hospital with Ethan.

    2. Deanatay

      Hey, when did Danny come back? And where’s Hat Guy?

  3. Octopus Ink

    Danny’s HAT!
    OH NOES!!
    (blow winds, blow!!)

    1. Stephen Bierce

      I was reminded of the first episode of Kimagure Orange Road, when Madoka’s hat went flying and Kyosuke caught it.

      1. Nick Wright

        I was just thinking the same thing, and imagining who could be standing just off-screen to catch it. But alas, Danny is no Madoka Ayukawa.

    2. Undrave

      Danny: “MY CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!”

      1. clif

        Oh nos!! How can Hat Guy be Hat Guy with no hat?

        1. Undrave

          “Wait, this could be my next character arc!”

        2. Deanatay

          Betelgeuse: Hey. This could be a new look for me.

        3. BenRG

          Joyce will start calling him ‘Danny’ again and show no conscious awareness that he and ‘Hat Guy’ were the same person. She will even actually ask Sal “Whatever happened to Hat Guy?”

      2. Needfuldoer

        The real dapper cap is in your heart, Danny, not on your head.

        That’s the real overarching theme of DoA.

        1. Jamie

          The real hats were the friends we made along the way.

        2. thejeff

          The real friends were the hats we made along the way?

  4. Astaphe

    The last time I was this early, Joyce had absolute faith in the church.

    1. Astaphe

      But seriously, this has some “end of series” energy. Willis would tell us if this was the end, wouldn’t he?

      1. Kyrik Michalowski

        Maybe the buffer strips are just a lie and he’s been planning to sutprise end it this whole time.

      2. insomniac

        I feel like it’s more “end of book.” Willis does not tend to be coy about his series finales.

        1. King Daniel

          Series finale? No. But Willis has stated that this storyline and the kidnapping one which preceded it are meant to be taken as a season finale.

          Which sadly means that the timeskip tomorrow will probably breeze past Halloween, since the upcoming previews show snowy weather/entirely bare trees, and in-universe Halloween is just a few days away.

        2. Blackdrazon

          Aw, I hadn’t thought about that, I was kind of hoping to see everyone’s costumes.

        3. Slartibeast Button, BIA

          Maybe he is using “series” in the British TV sense?

        4. Undrave

          So 5 episodes a year, tops?

        5. davidbreslin101

          Oh, be fair, it’s a lot more than that. 6, in fact.

        6. bryy

          We got so close.

        7. AndieStardust

          I scrolled down to look for this thread, it’s the type of season finale that we would get left with if the executives cancelled the show. It’s mostly (?) wrapped up and open for more story but we’ll never get it unless Netflix adapts it years later. That kind of feeling, ya know?

        8. Needfuldoer

          Maybe the syndication rerun ratings and DVD sales will be high enough that the network will revive it.

  5. Cattleprod

    Is the hat just blowing away? Carla seems to be watching it, but isn’t posed as if she’s the one who threw it.

    1. Doctor_Who

      She’s using her telekinetic abilities.

      1. Geneseepaws

        I figured it was magnetic induction, since she’s engineering, not Psych. Now if she was a psych major, then yeah, I’m all in with Telekinesis.

        1. SuperFroakie82

          Maybe she hid a drone inside of it when he wasn’t looking so she could strike at the most hilarious moment.

    2. Deanatay

      Carla bit down on the hat with her teeth, and threw it away with a toss of her head, like a reverse terrier. That’s why her mouth is wide open, and her hair is in motion.

    3. Zee

      My headcannon is she said, “Up here, your hat is garbage,” and tossed it away, quickly putting her hands at her side in a triumphant stance that’s mostly blocked by the characters in the foreground.

  6. Kyrik Michalowski

    Now we say our final goodbyes to the hat, now that Danny has been freed from it.

    So who is going to ruin this moment and how?

    1. JessWitt

      Carol. Escorted off campus but not from Joyce’s life.

  7. zelgato

    Series ends. With Coma and lost loves haha.

    Or danny’s hat is magical super alien powered and its gonna revive Mike to kick off the super powered arc :p

    1. Doctor_Who

      Darkwing Duck had a species of evil alien mind controlling hats. I used to theorize that Dina’s hat was one of them because of the visible eyes, but Danny’s makes more sense.

      Hmmm, come to think of it, that one on the right kind of looks familiar…

      1. Needfuldoer

        Dina’s Hat is more like Wade the duck’s life preserver from Garfield and Friends, reflective but (probably) not in control.

    2. RowenMorland

      Has anyone drawn Mike wearing the hat?

  8. crys

    what a gorgeous last panel

    (and not only b/c my joyce/dorothy heart was pleased)

    1. woobie

      I notice that there are 3 pairs where one has a hand on the shoulder of the other.
      Becky/ Dina.
      Ruth/ Billie.
      Dorothy/ Joyce.

      1. Rabid Rabbit

        And Sal has her elbow on Bro’s shoulder.

        1. woobie

          Don’t sink our ship.

        2. Aro

          It’s fine, elbows are not hands and therefore don’t count.

    2. Undrave

      I noticed that too! Dorothy is moving the ship along… she’s getting into the idea…

      1. clif

        But if Joyce hooks up with Dorothy, she then has to hook up with Amber. Those are the rules.

        1. BarerMender

          If Joyce gets the hang of hooking up, there won’t be any rules.

  9. OBBWG

    Danny, when did you get here? And where’s Hat Guy?

    1. Doctor_Who

      Note: Hat Guy died on the way back to his home planet.

    2. Deanatay

      Aw, man, ninja’d!

  10. Opus the Poet

    Danny’s hat! it may be lost forever if it goes over the edge in the dark! (I’m assuming from the lighting that it’s now after sundown on Garbage Roof)

    1. Undrave

      *Hat lands on random guy’s head* Guy: “Maybe I should learn to play the ukulele…”

  11. Moon

    *catches dannys hat in my mouth like a dog catching a frisbee* ?

  12. Rosicrucian

    So this is the point of demarcation for the big tonal shift, right?

    Like tomorrow, Billie is a werewolf.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Teen Wolf 1: Basketball

      Teen Wolf Too: Boxing

      Te3n Wolf: Cheerleading!

      …Honestly, I’d watch it.

      1. Undrave

        Same!

    2. Some1

      Tomorrow’s strip shows Joyce’s church awash in a sea of blood as the entire congregation (sans her family) lies dead in the pews. A man carrying a bloody knife pulls out a photo of Joyce before crumpling it in his hand.

      1. Bicycle Bill

        Joyce’s mom is whacked out, but not South Glade Mission Church-level whacked out.
        Yet.

        1. clif

          More importantly, she isn’t a man carrying a bloody knife.

          Either that or she’s really really good at keeping secrets.

        2. Bicycle Bill

          I was thinking more along the lines of Hank being the guy with the knife, who goes berserk a la Galahad in “Kingsman” and takes revenge on the church for allying with Blaine and giving him the bail money for Toedad, which set all the previous events into motion.

          But I guess this ain’t that kind of movie, bruv.

      2. Undrave

        Way to introduce Ninja Rick into this new universe! Really dramatic.

    3. Needfuldoer

      This feels like it ‘should’ be the last strip in the chapter, like the last scene in the last episode of a season.

      I wonder if we’re going to get a ‘time lapse’ of strips featuring different important locations (the dumping stairs, BJC, etc) gradually progressing from ‘fall’ to ‘winter’, ending on the first strip of the next semester/chapter/book/season/episode.

  13. Cephalo the Pod

    Okay, now cut to the Head Alien.

    1. clif

      Before or after he crumples Joyce’s photo?

  14. Tirachokko

    wish granted joyce.
    you won’t feel like you learned much from college <3

  15. danielle

    goodbye, danny’s hat.

    1. Undrave

      Hat: “Goodbye Danny, my faithful steed, my Planet needs me!”

  16. Nono

    Okay, who in the main cast isn’t present for this nice wrap up photo? Ethan, Mike, Joe…

    1. JessWitt

      Malaya, Jacob, Marcie, Lucy…

      Take a look at the cast page. Swap Ethan for Carla and that’s the Garbage Roof Gang.

  17. Suet

    Bittersweet comes as bittersweet goes.

    What’re we looking at?

    1. Bicycle Bill

      The vast, mysterious, undefinable, inexplainable, and unexplored future lying ahead of each one of them.

    2. clif

      A tree, two yellow things, and a car.

      Or so I’m told.

  18. Slartibeast Button, BIA

    The hat will be back for revenge after the big DoA corporate sellout Ruins It Forever.

    1. Undrave

      With an eyepatch.

      1. clif

        And a parrot.

  19. Chris

    Is Carla responsible for the hat’s departure, or is she just enjoying the moment?

    (Now, if *Dina’s* hat was blowing away, that would be an emergency.)

    1. Rabid Rabbit

      Well, it definitely looks like she’s blowing it away.

  20. HeinousActsZX

    The gang’s all here.

  21. Sirksome

    Well I for one am glad that we’ve recognized that what has happened in the college life of Joyce Brown and by extension a bunch of other weirdos is by no means common. I swear the past three months for them has felt like ten years!

    1. Lingo

      Two months. Two months.

      1. Needfuldoer

        Season 1 covered August 29th through October 21st, with about a week and a half skipped along the way.

  22. HeinousActsZX

    if only this was done at a better time though. All I can think is that they’re not socially distancing properly.

    1. mrnoidea

      Me thinks Willis decided to leave coronavirus out of this universe for good reason. The sliding timescale would’ve brought the virus in to the spotlight for at most two weeks in Dumbiverse time. And then it would be awkward for it to just disappear after two weeks.

  23. Jo Giggles

    That hover text isn’t suggesting literal series end, right?

    1. SuperFroakie82

      Just the end for Danny’s hat I’m guessing, but on the little preview descriptions for the strips on patreon he said it’s a series wrap on leaves for yesterday’s strip, so I guess that means we’re not going past winter?

      1. Needfuldoer

        At the current pace (and barring any more long skips), winter should last about 15 years.

      2. NullSet

        By the time we get to “spring” the sliding timescale will reflect our current climate apocalypse. Expext lots of burning trees.

  24. Slartibeast Button, BIA

    Flashforward a generation to when they are all the new Evil Overlords and a new class must unite to overthrow them.

  25. Jo Giggles

    like all you patreon folks have already seen tomorrow’s strip, yeah?

    1. Sirksome

      It’s a huge tone shift as we follow the journey of Danny’s hat as it lands on the heads of different people from different walks of life and changes their lives in significant ways, not always for the better.

      1. Slartibeast Button, BIA

        Does it have Rod Serling giving you the cryptic morals?

        1. Geneseepaws

          It looks like it will be another night of studying for James Newsomb, as he heads to the Library to do some research on plays by Marlow.
          While it looks like any other night to James, tonight is different. He won’t know when it happened, but the hat James found on the ground outside Reid Hall, will lead him into: The Twilight Zone.

        2. Undrave

          Next thing James knows, he’s looking up ukulele tutorials

      2. hof1991

        I want the hat to land on Asher’s head. Then he starts playing ukulele. He and Sal for a duo and start touring coffeehouses.

    2. Some1

      I don’t have patron but what I can tell you is that tomorrow’s strip will have a tree in it and something yellow (well two yellow things). Also I think a car.

  26. OniLink

    this… really feels like the series ending

    if it did end here, I’d be sad because it feels like there’s so much more to explore with these characters, particularly around Mike and Amber and Becky and how they develop now that.. things have changed significantly with them! But also, it feels like this would work very well as an ending so I think I’d be satisfied.

    1. Mra

      I’d be more curious about Carla, she is here for a big emotional finale, but her appearance in the comic overall was really limited.

    2. adam Black

      ^^^ i had many of these exact same thoughts.

      Time skip?

      Looks and feel Likes The End.

      Its well written too.

      1. Norah

        And he mentioned a time skip at the end of Book 10, which I’m assuming this is.

        1. Claire

          I was thinking the same thing.. time skip to next semester?

    3. Norah

      He has a nearly 4 month buffer, guys!

    4. Kamino Neko

      No, it feels like a season ending.

      This is only a series ending if it’s cancelled when the showrunners think they’re getting another season, so they don’t have to tie off ALL the loose ends and can set up more character development to come.

      If this was a series ending, Mike would have either woken up or died. Amber would have left school or been told that they were taking her tuition from Blaine’s estate or that JoeDad would pick up the bill.

      Jordan’s deal would have been revealed, and Joyce would have discovered that she has a sister.

      And Linda, Carol, Naomi, Sir, and maybe Charles and Ethan’s-dad-whose-name-I-can’t-remember would have been hit by buses.

      (OK, maybe that last one is just wishful thinking.)

      1. Dara

        Exactly. Fall season is over, winter season is next. I mean, we’ve seen previews of buildings with snow.

        I’m confused by all the kerfuffle.

    5. Needfuldoer

      There will be a substantial time skip, so the next book/chapter will be like a soft reboot, but it’s not the end. Like you said, there are plenty of loose threads to tie into.

  27. Cattleprod

    Tomorrow, they all work at a detective agency and the change is never addressed.

    1. woobie

      Do you want settings changes?
      Because that’s how you get settings changes.

    2. Undrave

      ‘Dumbing of Ages Nights”

    3. Needfuldoer

      The time skip is actually backwards. Now they’re all kids solving paranormal mysteries together, Fuckface can talk, and it’s animated in Tom Ruegger’s distinctive style.

  28. TemporalShrew

    Damn, can’t believe we had another character death so soon.

    1. Mra

      The hat?

      1. Deanatay

        Hat Guy. He will be missed.

        (Un?)Fortunately, Danny’s back.

        1. ValdVin

          Now I’m trying to figure out which one, between Danny and Hat Guy, is Jekyll and which one would be Hyde.

  29. Mra

    That looks like a finale pic the last panel,

  30. The Coolest Child

    SEASON TWO LET’S GO

  31. Axel

    Not a fan of Danny’s hat but he likes it and dang I’d be stressed over losing a good hat.

    1. Undrave

      Do you really think Danny has Good Hat money? He probably picked it up at Target.

  32. Taigan

    “May We Be Blessed With Uneducational Times” Book 10 Title?

    1. Rabid Rabbit

      And book cover image, frankly.

    2. Lumino

      My first thought on seeing that big cast shot.

      1. Bicycle Bill

        I was thinking “POSTER!!”

    3. Circeus

      “May you have an educational Time” new Irish curse

    4. Perdellian

      I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said.

  33. BBCC

    Joyce, no, stop that at once. You do not wish on the Willis, he is a fickle and wrathful God.

  34. Johan

    And then joe shows up and they all make out dammit

    1. He Who Abides

      That’s a funny way of spelling “fuck” you’ve got there.

    2. Undrave

      Dorothy’s going in for a peck on the cheek right now…

  35. Rikunda

    And then they were all expelled for being on the roof.

    1. Geneseepaws

      I thought that was the one place that’s guaranteed to be trouble proof, (up on the roof).

      1. Deanatay

        It’s Garbage Roof, not No Consequences Roof.

  36. Lia

    awww :’) fuck that hat

  37. Jezi

    Everything thoughtful has already been said, so I’ll just say that my favorite character referencing my favorite meme made me really happy. Thank you Willis. :3

  38. LiterallyJustSomeGuy

    Oh no! Who is Hat Guy without his hat???

    I love all these faces so much! Carla, I can’t even deal

  39. Mr D

    timeskip? Timeeeeeskiiiip!

  40. Robert

    That last panel scared me for a second. This is exactly how Shortpacked! ended.

    1. Daibhid C

      Not enough soggies.

  41. Dara

    ALERT ALERT

    HAND ON SHOULDER ALERT

    DOROTHY’S HAND ON JOYCE’S SHOULDER ALERT

    this ship is gonna sail one way or another and that’s all there is to it

    the only other people touching each other are couples

    IT’S HAPPENIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

    xD

    1. King Daniel

      Sal’s leaning on Walky’s shoulder…

      1. BenRG

        Siblings, especially siblings working on reconciling, get a free pass.

    2. Undrave

      I ship it like FedEx!

    3. Perdellian

      ♥♥♥

    4. BarerMender

      I’d have more confidence in the ship if Dorothy were pressing her booby to Joyce’s arm.

  42. Jess

    Gosh, this makes me so happy. I’m glad they have this little halcyon moment here.

    It seems pretty well certain that the comic will in fact be continuing tomorrow, but, like others have said, I wouldn’t be too sad if it ended here!

  43. JessWitt

    That’s a lovely last panel. Given that there will be time-skipping months ahead, bed scenes are definitely not enough.

  44. PB

    RIP Danny’s hat

    June 7, 2017 – September 5, 2020

  45. ANeM

    Joyce is Spiders Georg but for trauma.

    1. Lumin

      Yup.

  46. NinjaNick

    So long, Danny’s beret.

    On to year #11…what kind of craziness will happen ahead?

    1. Kamino Neko

      Danny’s hat isn’t a beret, it’s a newsboy cap.

      Berets don’t have brims by definition, and while I can’t say for sure they never have buttons, it’s not typical – either it’s flat, or it has a pompon or a…I’m not even sure what to call the little ‘tail’ of felt that comes out of the top of a typical Basque beret.

      1. BarerMender

        I’d refer to Danny’s had as a snap brim. I don’t know if that’s standard.

  47. BenRG

    Definitely a nice concluding shot of our heroes as this part of their lives comes to an end. I’m sure that Sarah is sort of relieved now that she ddn’t have an “interesting” freshman year!

    I wonder if Dorothy is consciously aware that she has her arm around Joyce? Or if Joyce is consciously aware of Dorothy doing it?

  48. mare

    Placing my bet: we’re going to time-skip to the start of next semester. That jumps us neatly over winter break, gets Becky enrolled, and allows time for things like style changes – we know from previews Joyce has slightly different hair, and I think Sal is going to let hers go natural. And if Mike is alive we’ll also be able to drop in further along in his recovery. Just makes sense from a story perspective and with the scale DoA moves at. In any case, excited to see what lies ahead!

    1. SuperFroakie82

      This would make sense, but dang, skipping Halloween AND Christmas?

      1. Nenja

        Always winter, never Christmas.

    2. hof1991

      Skip thanksgiving but there are 3-4 weeks after that before the end of semester. That’s 3-4 YEARS of comics. And end of semester is the end of a lot of things as kids and couples split for a couple weeks. Plenty of drama there.

    3. BarerMender

      Where are the previews? I’ve never seen one.

  49. Nenja

    Prediction: After the timeskip, Danny will have found himself a different hat.

    Today: a lovely, serene, hopeful END OF SCENE.

    Tomorrow: we have a shot of a pile of rubble. After a moment, the top of the pile starts to shift, until slowly but unstoppably, BLAINE’S HAND reaches out, grasps at the sky, and grabs hold of the pile. Cut to black.

      Producer’s note: rubble appears to be made out of BULLETS.

    Needs Mike 🙁

  52. Vjlobel

    Congratulations Shinji!

  53. Keulen

    Aw man, I liked Danny’s hat. I think he’s been mostly getting better since he started wearing it.

  54. Random832

    Did Danny’s hat blow off in the wind, or did Carla throw it?

    1. Keulen

      I was wondering if Carla threw it too, based on the look on her face in the last panel.

    2. Daibhid C

      Now I want fanart of Danny as the Eleventh Doctor and Carla as River Song.

  55. foducool

    man, this looks like a “the end” panel

  56. Ray Radlein

    NOTE: Kidnappings Geoyc, who is kidnapped 10,000 times a semester, is an outlier and should not be counted

  57. SpaceshipPilot

    Carla’s expression makes me think she’s shouting at the top of her lungs. I wonder what she’s saying.

    1. BenRG

      “Fly little hat-brother! Be free!”

  58. Bagge

    No ukulele, no hat and honestly not that good of an egg tonight. This has not been a good day for New Danny.

    …which is fitting enough for Garbage roof. On garbage roof there is only old Danny.

  59. PiotrW

    Wait. Is this… The End? Feels like it, a little…

    Book title? ?

    Spiders Geoyce

    …Spiders Joyc?

  62. Aragem

    Well, now that the toxic fathers have been vanquished. The next threat will be overbearing mothers. Looking at you Carol and Linda.

  63. thumb

    Aw, all the girlfriends lined up in the front

  64. Oberon

    Trump: “I love the poorly educated.”

  65. Colineo

    I know it was the wind, but in my mind Carla threw Danny’s hat with her mouth.

    1. Bagge

      Or by just being her usual awesome self.

  66. Bagge

    I have said it before, I’ll doubtless have cause to say it again. For me, one of the main points of this comic is Joyce her and two ladies. and here they are in the center of a beautiful, beautiful shot.

    I look forward to what the future has to bring.

  67. Eric

    What are they all looking at? Is there a hovering aircraft nearby?

  68. ValdVin

    As the couples pair together in the last panel (Becky and Dina, Ruth and Billie, Joyce and Dorothy (WAIT, they’re just good friends, for now) ), Danny and Hat suffer a breakup.

  69. Deanatay

    If Willis skips Halloween…

    SO.

    MUCH.

    RAGE.

    1. Peter Huppertz

      I wish thee strength.

  70. Jabberwocky

    This honestly would not be a bad stopping point for the series as a whole

    1. Vulcanodon

      Let Willis have a well-deserved vacation, but we all want to embrace Jocelyn, watch Carol get her comeuppance, Mary have a redemption arc, Becky and Dina… being Becky and Dina, and SO MUCH MORE!!!

      1. mrnoidea

        Mary is too evil to be redeemed. I’m more interested in seeing Asher’s character development.

      2. SuperFroakie82

        Yeah, I highly doubt Mary will get a redemption arc. Unless her conversations with Malaya in art class go somewhere after Malaya figures out her gender stuff, but that’s being very optimistic. Although if she does learn something, I can definitely imagine a scene between her and Carla where she says something like “I realize that I was wrong before but I’m not sorry because you’re still a dirty sinner just like everyone else! Muahahahaha!”

  71. Vulcanodon

    “Nurse, I need 50cc’s of Heart Emojis over here, STAT!”

  72. hof1991

    Prediction. Season end in that we will skip Halloween and move from late summer to early winter. Halloween would consume a full year of kids in costumes if DYW let it, so he won’t. We won’t see Hank and carol break up or any funerals.

    We are two months in. Last words are a wish for uneducational time. So skip the next month. That gives everyone a month where nothing exciting or educational is happening. Next book opens after Thanksgiving is my prediction. Drama reset and characters set for new adventures.

  73. SonicHowling

    Everyone hating on Danny’s hat can absolutely suck it. Newsboy caps are great and I refuse to be persuaded otherwise. SUCK IT

    1. Kamino Neko

      Yeah. If they’re good enough for Piper Wright, they’re good enough for Danny Wilcox, dammit.

    2. Spencer

      You have my sword.

  75. Peristeronic

    “No, no, I’ve got a cunning plan,” Willis said. “As soon as he’s got the hat, I’m going to kill the hat.”

  76. Raptorofwar

    That’s sweet.

  77. Kazuma Taichi

    Well, that’s the volume cover if I’ve ever seen one.

  78. Eldritchy

    Danny: Noooo! My personality!

    1. BenRG

      Given that said ‘personality’ put him and Ethan seriously at odds, I suspect that he’ll be happier without it!

      1. Eldritchy

        Yup

      2. Spencer

        No that was calling out Ethan’s complacency in Mike’s longtime abuse.

        1. Eldritchy

          Well there is time and place for that. Outside his hospital room while he is in a coma and on the verge of death is neither the right time nor place…

  79. Rabisch

    Beautiful group strip♡. AND FINALLY THE HAT IS GONE!!!

  80. Falcon

    This is the first time I’ve taken a potential Dorothy/Joyce ship seriously.

  81. davidbreslin101

    Goodbye, Danny’s hat
    No-one ever liked you at all
    Or the ukulele which
    Drove his dorm-mates up the wall.
    You crawled over his haircut
    And you whispered into his brain:
    “Be a manic pixie dream-boy,
    And be aimlessly inane.”

    And it seems to me, you lived your life
    Like a beret in the wind
    Never know which head to cling to
    When the rain set in.
    And they damned him for his Danning
    But he was just a kid.
    His beret took off long before
    His legend ever did.

    1. nothri

      ……okay, I want to be snarky, but honestly this was fucking brilliant.

    2. Lingo

      DO FREE BIRD NOW

  82. C.T Phipps

    I kind of love Joyce wanting nothing to do with Danny.

  83. Alan in DC

    What’re they all looking up at?

  84. nothri

    Sarah, step back! The front row is clearly being reserved for the lesbian couples of the series.

  85. Kitschensyngk

    Truly

    this was a DUMBING

    OF AGE

  86. Liam

    Is that a subtle Terry Pratchett reference I see?

    Or am I just conflating something?

  87. Blatherskite

    “You are an outlier.”

    Hmph. Considering how huge the first couple months have been for pretty much everybody, maybe Sarah was the outlier.

    1. Brighter Side

      I’m really hoping that less than 0.1% of students at the university get kidnapped their freshman year. Because, if not, yikes.

  88. Brighter Side

    But what’s Dan going to be without a hat?

  89. Lynth

    It all makes sense now; Joyce cursed us. #thanksobama

    Carla is totally admiring her hover drone, and Danny is flabbergasted as to why there are multiple jet engines attached to it
