This comic's "script," such as it was, called for The Creepiest-Looking Guy Ever. I realized that any attempt at this would just be reinventing the wheel, so I just whole-hog borrowed him.
His life drawing class is even better and he promises to pay the models double since squatting and pelvic thrusts are so hard to hold (he doesn’t actually pay them anything)
Well characters in comics (and movies) are meant to be ‘informed’ ugly, not ugly ugly. Shaggy would’ve done fine.
gangler
Oh, I get that shaggy’s not attractive. He’s not informed creepy though is the problem. This guy, for all his lack of creepy behavior prior to panel 3, has creepyness that can be inferred by the reader. Shaggy’s like a big lovable ugly puppy. Not gonna get the ladies with his hygiene or general unappealing habits, but no one’s gonna feel bad about sitting next to him. If anything he’d probably be better company than most.
Unless shaggy has an odor I guess. Does he have an odor? I don’t remember that ever being the case but it would certainly fit with his image.
Of course, if we’re deciding that she genuinely has a stigma against ugly people then that’s another matter entirely. Seems like it would be a bit out of character, but it’s a new universe and much of her background and views are still a mystery.
That reminds me. This comic needs more violence. It needs adult stuff like blood and spraying bone shards and armies of nazis whose chests explode into blood that’s like acid except it hurts more and hits people in the eyes and then they SCREAM!
You forgot jackets, which easily occupy seats. And here I thought she was actually saving it for Danny. He probably will end up being her white knight, though.
Sheesh! You’re a creep! Go away! We were having a good time until you showed up, buckets of blood guy! Go have some coffee with cream or something! Because I’ll tell you something! This is a happy place!
That thing is the most powerful awkward moment generator in the Dumbiverse. I really hope Danny hangs on to it for a while, just to see how much damage it can do to his reputation.
Other than that, if Amber’s the vigilante saving people, who’s going to save her from guys like him? XD Creeps like that don’t really take “no” for an answer sometimes.
Ultra-car hasn’t appeared in this continuity yet, and with no Sci-Fi elements, he might not, except as a cartoon or something like Head Alien. Maybe it’s Ms. Bean?
It just goes without saying that the vigilante saving everyone has the skills to save herself. It’s implicit, since they’re basically the same skill set.
As a college teacher, I can tell you that the demographic is changing quite a bit–not all freshman students are 18-20. I have several classes where half the class is in their 30s (freshman year)
A surprising number of my classmates are over forty (age approximated of course. I don’t ask). I mean, not the majority or anything, but there’s generally three to five in every class. I wouldn’t question it at all if some aging gentleman with grey hair just sat down next to her.
Either that or only just now getting around to getting his college degree. Maybe he finally got kicked out of mom’s house. Or never went to college and is going back to finish his education 10 years later.
I’m just sayin there’s no guarantee he’s fresh out of high school like most of the characters. College classes are pretty mixed bags. There’s at least two 60ish year old guys I see around the Art Wing at my school.
Is it wrong that only in this comic that I imagined his voice being that of the comic book guy from the simpsons, but not in any other appearances he’s made?

Mike can kick him in the FAAACE. And then fuck his mom. With his penis.

For a Nickel.

CWR
If you’re counting seconds, you might be too quick in the sack – creepy guy’s mom notwithstanding.
Plasma Mongoose
Mike is going to fuck his mum with BoB’s detached penis? OUCH!
General Tekno
OH GOD YES.
HIM.
This, of course, is awesome.

How the he’ll did this guy get in before ninja Rick?!?

ninja rick has been in every DoA strip so far.

Curses and shirts with skull looking things on them? This is shaping up to look like a mystery for Shaggy to solve!

That would explain all the tissues all over his dorm floor.

Naw, he’s creepy, remember? Antique 1897 Mason jars.

Hey, I went to school with, worked with, and had a girlfriend stalked by that guy, even down to the “CURSES!”
. . . .
Are you stalking me for characters?
CWR
You seem nice – I’m sure there are plenty of other reasons to stalk you.
HMRC4EVR
This guy is from SP?
Looks like a Hot Topic reject.
Joebo
I… could have gone without having him show up in this comic. Would have preferred if Shaggy had asked to sit next to her.
That being said, I’m guessing that he wants to be a game designer, games with…
NF
Your avatar is well-suited for that comment.

Why wouldn’t she have let shaggy sit next to her though? Everyone loves shaggy. He’s not creepy at all, really more of a lovable buffoon.

We need Mike and Ruth to team up so that can take place.

Avatar/comment combo win.

Guess Amber forgot a bookbag, laptop bag, weapon, or stuffed animal to put on the reserved spot.

Did you see his FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE?!

Yes I did, it was enough to make me want to break his FEEEEEEMURS!

Sheesh! You’re a creep! Go away! We were having a good time until you showed up, buckets of blood guy! Go have some coffee with cream or something! Because I’ll tell you something! This is a happy place!
Undrave
he could become part of Amazi-Girl’s rogue galary! The Blood Bucketeer!
OH NOES! AMAZI-GIRL QUICK! The Blood Bucketeer is holding the television station hostage and ruining our clean family entertainment!

They have to be a duo, or at least team up once in a while. There’s no real way around that.
Undrave
His super-villain costume will include a bra as head gear. And panties, lots of panties.
Amazi-Girl also need a money producer themed bad guy to complete the trifecta of horrible entertainment.
gangler
“Let me just reach into my utility panties!”
Undrave
I like that his character tag is ‘bucket of blood guy’. I bet he’s actually a Brony though.
Well with some luck Danny will find himself sitting next to Amber. With an autographed condom in his hand. AWKWARD!
George
That thing is the most powerful awkward moment generator in the Dumbiverse. I really hope Danny hangs on to it for a while, just to see how much damage it can do to his reputation.

A whole week worth of strip for sure hahaha. To the point where ‘autographed condom’ because a character tag!

Amber’s uber cute in DoA. ♥
Other than that, if Amber’s the vigilante saving people, who’s going to save her from guys like him? XD Creeps like that don’t really take “no” for an answer sometimes.
Bekah
Sometimes they don’t. Other times they say “Curses!”
Henry
But she’s not! Everyone knows Ultra-Car is Amazi-Girl! So Amazi-Girl can protect Amber from creeps!
lord of dance
maybe he was referring to her “secret” identity as spider-car, though spider-car hasn’t appeared in this story yet maybe not
Rikushadow5
Ultra-car hasn’t appeared in this continuity yet, and with no Sci-Fi elements, he might not, except as a cartoon or something like Head Alien. Maybe it’s Ms. Bean?
Jackson
It would be really weird if Ultra-car was just a car, and that’s it. Just a car.
ryan
he could be like the mystery machine. always breaking down in creepy, remote areas when “the gang” wants to spend the weekend at the beach.
and please, david, if he appears in DoA, give back ultra-car’s multi-colored camo!
gangler
It just goes without saying that the vigilante saving everyone has the skills to save herself. It’s implicit, since they’re basically the same skill set.

Appropriate avatar is appropriate.
Confuzor
Dan Vs. Amber?
Bekah
So Buckets ‘o’ Blood guy is a student in Amber’s class, right? That means he’s probably like 18-20ish, right?
Is it just the way I’m seeing it, and I’m way off, or is he balding pretty hardcore for an 18-20ish yr old dude? It didn’t faze me in SP! but here…
David
It definitely happens.
Bekah
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen at all! If anything though, it certainly adds to his creepiness.
Brendan
Patrick Stewart started noticeably losing his hair at 19, and had his current hairline by 22. If you’re calling Patrick Stewart creepy…
Ridureyu
Have you seen him on Extras?
Sam
If by “creepy” you mean, “the best EVER at EVERYTHING, because he’s SEEN IT”…
…. then yes. “Creepy.”
Lumber
Extras spoiler:
Patrick Stewart saw everything.
nitpicker
Yep, knew a kid in college. who had a highly prominent bald spot who was only.
And he was definitely creepy.
Ryune
Definitely knew some guys Frosh year that were already starting to bald.
… one of them was about as creepy and disgusting as this guy, come to think.

Heck, one of my best friends from high school definitely had a combover by 18.
Plasma Mongoose
Combover? Those things never convice anyone, they should just shave it all off, Skinhead>Combover anyday.

…y’know, if you want a more plausible excuse, don’t try to sit next to her when the auditorium is empty.
