Just three-ish days left in the Dumbing of Age Book 6 Kickstarter, and here’s Sal, the final, thirteenth magnet for the Kickstarter!
Remember, there are PICK THREE MAGNETS and now PICK FIVE MAGNETS pledge tiers, where you can choose which three or five magnets you want, PLUS the bonus Becky magnet everyone (with a real paper book) gets. So if you want a Sal, there’s a good chance there’s a way to add her. Competitive

I feel like this chair manufacturer is or should be the richest company in the world
Kris
I don’t think there are that mant introverts. And the one’s that are around couldn’t afford them.
jeffepp
Roughly 50% of the worlds population. So, sort of like how there are slightly more women than men, but they are relegated to a minority status.
Clif
There are plenty of introverts, but buying chairs requires conversation.
Reltzik
….. friend, let me introduce you to something called The Internet…
SgtWadeyWilson
Is this about to get meta?
Just remember, in case of emergency: break glass! *Indicates the fourth wall.*
Needfuldoer
But then it has to be delivered, and something that big and (presumably) expensive would require a signature on delivery…
SeanR
There are ways around that.
Mostly by signing the deliveryman’s “we missed you” note with the checkbox saying they don’t need a signature.
zoelogical
what’s the internet
Clif
Recycled electrons, memes and cat videos.
zoelogical
this explains so much
Roborat
And porn, so very, very, very much porn.
NelC
The introverts will inherit the Earth… if that’s all right with the rest of you.
Kelly
Hey Bob! How’s Case Nightmare Green looking?
Tacos
How would we even know how many there are? To get statistics we’d need to y’know go out and interact with people.
SgtWadeyWilson
…or actually answer phone surveys an’ junk. Which may be worse?!
Ntrovert
Definitely worse for this I 30…
Stomato
It’s more like, building forts out of chairs is likely to attract attention from strangers. Do not want
inqntrol
“We make the best chairs in the world, you can even use them to create a fort!”
Pablo360
My chair is shaped like a corner, I could make a fort if I got more of them but it’s super expensive
That said these are probably more expensive so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Introvert is one thing, Amber’s more a recluse.
Gesc
A self-isolating ball of neuroses.
Spencer
At this point her isolation is in-part due to her belief that she’s dangerous.
thecerpent
A brunette recluse. Only slightly venomous but with a mean bite when agitated.
Sensei Le Roof
This. Introverts only prefer to stay inside and keep to ourselves. We’ll strike out if the moon is right.
…
Mood. I said mood.
Kris
Use the blue shells! No room for mercy in Mario Kart!
BBCC
Amber has a lot of pride. She might want to beat Sal without blue shells if she thinks that’d be a cheap trick.
Pablo360
Blue shells are just a cheap tactic to make weak racers stronger!
Temperaryobsessor
You only beat me because you had a blue shell if only I had a blue shell any blue shell.
Schol-R-LEA
But you have got two beaten swords, and I not a pocket-knife.
AutobotDen
It’s also Amber trying to beat the boogieman from her past under her own merits and abilities, I think.
Kris
Blue shells are a mechanic of the game. I hate them as much as the next karter but they’re there to make the races closer because close races are more fun than blowouts. Plus good karters can still out maneuver one with a mushroom. I don’t think it’s cheap. Amber’s misplaced sense of honor only hinders her potential!
BBCC
Hey, I’m of the opinion that anything possible without codes or hacks or patches or anything like that is legal for the game, take it up with Amber.
All-Purpose Guru
You pretty much described Amber’s ENTIRE personality.
Lailah
I can see how in a two player race, a blue shell might be considered unsporting, even if I can’t see that for 3+.
Rukduk
She’s simply getting them so that Sal can’t use them, for that very reason.
Sensei Le Roof
First place almost never gets blue shells, in general.
Reltzik
…. maybe she’s holding it until the finish, but keeps winning so she doesn’t need it?
TemporalShrew
H… How does Sal know what items Mario Kart is giving Amber? I don’t think there’s any means built into the game to figure that out.
Kingmabel
On the DS games you can see the items every driver is holding. Makes things interesting.
fillerusername
Having read the previous day’s hover text I am confused by today’s.
fillerusername
Oh he meant the gift card hover text, okay.
Clif
I thought it meant that we’re back to Amber because everyone laughed and left.
fillerusername
I thought that at first but I think maybe he would have shown someone from the gender studies class in the background to show that? Like Joe just walking around in the background?
foamy
I can’t help but feel that hovertext is aimed at me, but that’s just paranoia talking :v
Mr. Random
…How does she know what Amber has?
How do you get rid of Blue shells without using them?
Pat
In at least some of the games the character physically holds the item. You can see them in their hands, and they drop them if they get hit.
Shiro
Hm. Is there some significance to not using blue shells that I’m not aware of?
Also I would be claustrophobic as hell in Amber’s cave
TemporalShrew
I think the implication is that Amber is actively choosing not to screw Sal over with blue shells when she enters first place.
i.e. She is being a Good Guy Amber.
boop
Blue shells target whoever’s in the lead. Amber might figure that if Sal’s earned the lead spot, it’d be mean/cruel/rude to to launch a disabling attack for it. Or maybe Amber is just opposed to blue shells in general? idek
JessWitt
And that stoner was Ninja Rick.
Passchendaele
*screams in terror but knows that would make perfect sense*
Screwball
YES! We’ve been told he wouldn’t make an appearance because he’s based off a real person, but David M Willis never said anything about him having an AFFECT on the comic…
He didn’t say that, did he? Did he? Anyone…
John
Ronald Reagan was based off a real person, and he’s had an effect on the comic, so…
Needfuldoer
But did Galasso resurrect him in the DoA universe?
merbrat
Mary has his portrait in her room. Maybe she got it from Galasso?
Kyle
in my heart ninja rick is dead and in hell, where he belongs
SgtWadeyWilson
So, by extension… hell is in your heart? I’ve heard of people having a fire burning deep inside, but dang is that metal!
Wait… I think I was originally trying to be sarcastic…
Schol-R-LEA
Hey, if it works for Sara Waite… no, hold on, it didn’t. She ended up stuck in a piece of paper hidden in a drawer.
brasca1
Or maybe Dana enrolled again.
zoelogical
oh my god
Cattleprod
Is the stoner that Shaggy lookalike I vaguely recall showing up once or twice?
Kamino Neko
Ten times, including a speaking role.
Cattleprod
Wow, that’s a lot more than I expected. My only defense is that six of them were in 2013 or earlier, and three of those have his distinctive beard hidden behind Amber.
Needfuldoer
It was the tall skinny guy with the hat. His silent, fat friend with the trenchcoat just let her have the chair.
merbrat
+1
DSL
I thought General Grievous killed him on Hypori.
Keulan
Apparently there’s multiple ways to make a fort with those chairs. Though it’s gotta be kinda uncomfortable on the floor under just two of them.
Screwball
Perhaps the cushions are removable? Set the chairs themselves up like this, put the cushions on the floor…
I got in trouble last time I tried this. Seems there WAS a reason those cushions were so hard to remove…
qlx
I know, if I were her i would set them up on their side against a wall. that way you’re at least sitting on an arm-part
Kryss LaBryn
Hm. Seems to me that if one were to set the chair up on its side in a corner, you could be completely enclosed without hogging any other chairs, plus you’d be sitting on an arm and not the floor.
I mean, not as spacious as the Chair Cube ™; but still big enough for one tiny introvert curled around a DS, no? 😀
Or are all the corners all windows? That would suck. 🙁
