…You do realize that Willis himself sells porn comics containing half the teens here (among others) right? That’re advertised right in the sidebar there?
This ain’t really the comic to go to if you’re gonna get self-righteous over college students banging, is my point.
Yes, I realise that. I’m not “getting self-righteous over” anything, I’m making a dig at the amounts of fluid on display in the average doujin. Have you read one? It’s like xenomorphs set up a hive between the mouths of two Japanese girls. That’s the imagery Doctor_Who’s comment brought to mind, and that’s what I was reacting to. As a gag.
They’re in college. So, like, bare minimum of 17. They’re practically adults.
BBCC
If they’ve been in a slip shine, they’re an adult, so at the very least Amber and Walky are. Which is irrelevant because DT already said they were making a gag but I can’t help myself but to point it out.
They are all adults, most college kids are 18+, it’s pretty rare to start college before your 18th birthday
BBCC
There are kids born in September to December who may start college at 17 and turn 18 as the year goes by, but I’m told in the states it’s more common to wait a year before starting school in that case, so the kids with September-December would be older than their peers, which would make those kids 18 turning 19 now (so, like Dina).
Yeah, in my experience kids with September-December birthdays are almost invariably the older half unless they skipped a year. I guess that’s different in other places.
BBCC
In my area of Canada, it’s nearly exclusively been that they were younger than me. I was born in April, so when I turned 10, girls with December birthdays turned 9.
Around here, it used to be more common for kids with September or October birthdays to graduate high school at 17 and thus turn 18 in college if they go right afterward (speaking as such a person myself). However, over the last few years, laws have changed so that if you want your kid to start kindergarten when they’re 4 going on 5, you have to submit a request or something. This has made it less common for kids to be in that situation.
Becky’s successfully kept secrets. Her own secret love for Joyce was one of them (or a two-in-one, if you also include her orientation as part of that). She could keep Walky’s and Amber’s secret if she feels so inclined; the question is whether she would indeed feel inclined in the first place. Walky is her friend, and maybe Becky might agree with Sal’s view that this is A Bad Idea.
Also wow these two are really going at it, they must really want to break that world record for making out for the longest time without breaking for air.
Well, Becky and Dina are adorable as heck. But what else is new? (Amber and Walky, that’s what’s new. And I suspect it might be *newS* in a bit. Becky does not have the smallest of mouths.)
The next panel would have been just Amber, Walky, and a Becky-shaped dust cloud. Tomorrow we cut to Joyce across campus. Suddenly a very excited Becky shows up, then Joyce’s phone dings with the text message Becky sent her en route: “OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG”.
She can keep a secret if she needs to. She kept her orientation and feelings for Joyce a secret for a long time. Also the fact that she got kicked out of school, at least until she was kind of forced to tell Joyce.
That alt text is the cutest fucking thing. You live your best dino life, baby Willis. What are his brother’s thoughts on dinosaurs?
Reminds me of how occasionally, we’ll get a kid at my store who wants to be called something off the wall, usually a character name from something. They are my favorite. The one I recall best was a toddler who wanted to be called Green Monster Turtle–his name for the Ninja Turtles
We know they both ABSOLUTELY LOVE Studio Series Grimlock, and that they both have Nondescript Velociraptor shirts after Chase asked for one and Willis realized he had the art. So I’d expect Zack agrees with dinosaurs as a concept. As well he should.
(I also remember a tweet months back before they were talking about signing ‘dinosaur’ at a non-transforming toy expecting it to do so, Willis explaining it didn’t turn into a dinosaur, and then responding with the sign for ‘truck’. The moral of this story is the babies Willis have Expectations for their toys.)
On the second time I came up with a second punchline, and now I’m not sure which is correct.
Is the joke “Becky saw something she shouldn’t and now it’s a plot point” or “Becky had to quickly change her answer to be less nerdhorny in case they’re actually listening”
Does becky know that walky and Dorothy broke up? I don’t remember..
Doopyboop
I was originally gonna guess no, but now I’m glad I double-checked! Walky told her about it when he and Jason got drunk at Galasso’s and Becky’s response was pretty much “aw dude that sucks, she doesn’t deserve you”.

Becky and subtle go together about as well as Robin and…subtle. Or, or Faz and subtle. Joe and subtle?
There’s gotta be someone around here who’s subtle, but if there is they’ve been too subtle about it for me to notice.
In related news, the word subtle now looks funny and misspelled to me from typing it so many times.
ShinyNeen
Subtle is a word that subtly destroys one’s confidence that they spelled it correctly.
DSL
It’s subtle that way.
cbwroses
Dina is so subtle, you don’t realize she’s in the room.
Doctor_Who
You notice ONE Dina.
What you don’t realize is that she’s a pack hunter, and only allows one to be seen at a time. At any given time, there are three or four present.
MatthewTheLucky
One in sight.
One behind each exit.
One at your six.
Keulen
Becky’s so subtle she’s not even tagged for this strip!
ShinyNeen
Welp, now Becky knows. Methinks this secret relationship won’t stay secret for much longer!

It’s easy to see why she’s got that reputation, but Becky’s perfectly fine at keeping secrets when she wants to.

Chris (the other one)
hmmm… would that be the baby Willis’, baby Willi, or are you correct with babies Willis ? Damn it, my English edumacation didn’t get that far.
Regalli
Plurals with an S on the end are hard. Baby Willises might be correct, actually.
Bladeglory
On the second time I came up with a second punchline, and now I’m not sure which is correct.
Is the joke “Becky saw something she shouldn’t and now it’s a plot point” or “Becky had to quickly change her answer to be less nerdhorny in case they’re actually listening”
Shiro
Why not both?
Bladeglory
Correct? I should probably have said “intended.”
Of course, the answer is probably “both” anyway.
Viktoria
“Long, probing claws for removing foliage”. That is absolutely the non-horny version of some sort of innuendo about hands and clothes.
Marsh Maryrose
As readers, we have had four months to the day to speculate about/come to grips with this particular ship.

Becky or the readers?

I would have pegged Becky as one of the least judgmental characters in the strip.
Fart Captor
The two aren’t mutually exclusive
cbwroses
Looks like my worry that Dina would let Becky know about the SS Garbage Skowl was more relevant than I thought.
Diner Kinetic
Maybe we were all just in dina-nile….
Tacos
I thought it was called the SS Garbarge.
Diner Kinetic
I always go with garbage barge, since people keep… Barging in
cbwroses
To my understanding, there are two garbage ship names.
One is the SS Garbage Skowl.
The other is Garbage Barge, with no SS.
But I maybe mistaken.
Dafydd
Do you mean perhaps “SS Garbage Scow”?
Deanatay
Nope, cbwroses’ spelling is correct.
I checked. With THE AUTHORITIES.
DSL
If it’s a barge, it can’t be SS anything. Unless it’s self-propelled by a steam engine. And then it’s not a barge.
So if it’s a barge, where (and/or who) is the tugboat?
cbwroses
It’s been misspelled Skowl from the beginning and I support it.
Names don’t have to follow grammatical rules.
Pidgey
Other than hurting Dorothy’s feelings is there a reason they wanted to be secret?
