Once upon a time, very long ago, before I knew we was gonna have twins, I was like, sure, I can draw a Dexter & Monkey Master comic book story for Patreon if we reach a $$ goal!  I have time!!!  I have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD!!!!! But, well, twins.  *spongebob narrator voice*  FIVE YEARS LATER: It's here, it's coming!  Dexter & Monkey Master: The Comic Book Format-Adventure!!!  Well, the first three pages, of more to come.  I'll just put them up as I make them.  All you gotta do is click through to Patreon.

    there are worse ways to spend the break tho

    like GIS-ing so much you forget to nap

    (totes not speaking from experience here)

    1. AntJ

      are you referring to the nightmare of geographic information systems

      1. Michael L

        Comment works perfectly either way.

      2. Roborat

        Thank you, I was thinking guaranteed income supplement, and it was a bit confusing.

        1. Ana Chronistic

          It’s in the comic, sillies!!

  2. Doctor_Who

    Went through four Little Jacobs and enough batteries to light Wrigley Field.

  3. Octopus Ink

    Good progress, Sarah — now, tell her WHY you were image searching MBJ!

    1. Roborat

      Hope little Jacob was up to the task.

  4. Laura

    Snapping her retainer

    1. Robert

      If I could upvote this comment, I would do it with vigor and enthusiasm.

    2. ValdVin

      And wearing out her enamel?

  5. Mobcat

    Let the Good Times Roll…

    I’m probably the only one who knows what that has to do with MBJ aren’t I….

    1. King Daniel

      Your reference did not…fly past me.

    2. Undrave

      New-Orleans?

      1. King Daniel

        New York, actually.

    3. Architex

      You aren’t alone my friend!

    4. yoshifanx

      always approve of a gen:lock reference

    5. Needfuldoer

      Let the stories be told
      Let them say what they want

  6. Amias

    I have also spent quite a bit of time google image searching Michael B. Jordan. It’s time well spent.

    1. Rose by Any Other Name

      I preferred Chadwick Boseman. **sigh**

      Fuckin 2020.

      1. Ana Chronistic

        And Grant Imahara ☹️

        1. Rose by Any Other Name

          Indeed.
          Although, I can honestly say I never “google image searched” to Grant Imahara.

        2. Ana Chronistic

          How about Battlebots

  7. Nono

    Huh, I always figured Sarah would be more of a Terry Crews type.

  8. Sirksome

    I really want to know more about Sarah. Her life outside of Joyce’s pov is almost a complete mystery. Also I think she might need to see a therapist.

    1. BBCC

      “Also I think she might need to see a therapist”

      My thoughts about the majority of characters in this comic. The rest are nonbinary or dudes.

      1. Sirksome

        Sarah’s not high on the list of characters I worry about as she has it pretty together but hearing her say she was shutting off all feelings and napping her way through break is slightly concerning.

        1. BBCC

          I think she could benefit from it (most people could imo) but I don’t generally think she’s urgent either.

        2. poofdepoof

          I think of this ad from Antoni from Queer Eye a lot, which starts out with “Hi I’m Antoni, and I recommend therapy to literally every person I speak to.”

          Saying that someone could benefit from therapy doesn’t seem very descriptive to me.

          That’s of course, beside the question of whether someone is privileged enough for therapy to be affordable and available to them ?

  9. ADLegend21

    Sarah had the best break, confirmed.

  10. JA

    Sarah doesn’t want to break Joyce’s fragile mind with what she was actually doing with those pics.

    1. Beef

      I think she gets the idea

      1. Undrave

        She got herself a new ‘toy’ for Christmas and called it ‘Michael 2’ :p

        1. Ana Chronistic

          Michael B. Vibin’

  11. Yotomoe

    “The best naps of my life”
    Ah, so I see she found a hairdresser. 😛

    1. Leorale

      Her hair did continue being excellent this strip.

  12. Stephen Bierce

    I guess I don’t have to do anything this time.
    It’s okay, I got Facebook Classic running again.

  13. BigDogLittleCat

    That’s time well spent.

  14. Doongus

    Hot Take: Killmonger was a waste of a character

    Step to me, mongrels

    1. Arioch

      Killmonger was an interesting and enjoyable character. The death scene did not need to happen though.

  15. Megan Rivera

    I know I already said this but I’m loving Sarah’s new look, she looks so pretty.

    1. saltchocolate

      I am here for a Sarah with her natural hair on view (is it locs? a twist-out? not sure!!), and for her crushing on MBJ!

  16. BBCC

    I mean, who can blame her?

    But come on Sarah, PLEASE give me more backstory.

  17. Reltzik

    Huh.

    I guess an apatheist CAN have a creed.

    1. StClair

      booooooooo

    2. King Daniel

      I bet she was chase-ing after every image she could find.

    3. abysswatcher1993

      I got that reference.

    4. Deanatay

      By which you mean, “Look, how honest do you want me to be?”, right?

  18. SalleighG

    Is that a Monkey Master poster in the room? I guess that would be Joyce’s as she loved D&MM.

    Another of the posters is standard Christian stuff it appears.

    I cannot make out what the other two posters are though?

    1. RacingTurtle

      A hamster! The big one is more D&MM

    2. drs

      Photos of Sarah and Sal at the bottom.

  19. LiterallyJustSomeGuy

    But if you know that I know that you know that she knows that Sarah knows that Joyce has a Tik Tok… Who’s flying the plane?

    1. NelC

      No, Who’s on first. I think Captain Oveur is flying the plane.

      1. DonDueed

        Roger.

        1. Josh Spicer

          No, Roger’s stewarding the passengers.

    2. Delicious Taffy

      What I wanna know is, where’s the caveman?

  20. sultryglebe

    “I know you know I know” made me think of the Psych lyrics. They are not much like Shawn and Gus, but it is still a good friendship.

    1. Kaida

      I immediately tried to read that to that tune. Glad Im not the only one who thought of it!

    2. Mitch

      My brain skipped to the Sicillian scene from The Princess Bride.

    3. cosine

      and it’s about not telling the truth too!

  21. Chaucer59

    Looks more like she spent the entire break reviewing make-up howtos on YouTube.

  22. abysswatcher1993

    There’s no shame in seeking pictures of hot men, or hot women, on google images.

    1. Keulen

      Or on other sites. Some sites even have gifs and videos.

      1. Keulen

        Or so I heard.

    2. CJ

      Unfortunately, you find child porn on the side, whether on sites with gifs and videos or google picture search.
      Or so a friend tells me ?
      But seriously, is there any way to effectively get rid of that?

      1. not someone else

        Mostly: report report report. That shit is highly illegal so Google tries to kill it hard, and if the ads are from them or a major company they’ll do the same.

      2. drs

        I don’t have memories of running into CP. I just tried a search on ‘hot women’ on Google Image and didn’t find anyone obviously under 18, let alone prepubescent. ‘hot girls’ is similar.

        I think your friend is misleading you or doing some other kind of search.

      3. Roborat

        go to an actual porn site?

      4. Ana Chronistic

        Slipshine

  23. DailyBrad

    This is valid, as would be John Boyega ones.

  24. Bagge

    Crafty lil’ sis is onto you, big sis.

  25. Architex

    Well I think Sarah would be delighted to hear Gen:Lock is getting a second season!

  26. DarkoNeko

    Ooooh my

  27. CJ

    Ok, that confirms that Sarah’s home life leaves a lot to be desired.

    1. BBCC

      I mean, this is the same girl who says things like ‘Lying to your parents is a rite of passage, like pretending you love them’.

  28. Sunny

    But she still hasn’t found what she’s looking for.

    1. Roborat

      I didn’t know she was a big U2 fan.

  29. C.T Phipps

    I wonder if Sarah is as depressed as Ruth, just more functional.

    1. C.T Phipps

      Possibly on long term medication.

  30. Spencer

    eeeeeeeee the Dexter & Monkey Master comic happening!

    I missed those goobers so much.

    1. Regalli

      Right? Finally, our cartoon supervillain of questionable competence returns!

      1. Spencer

        It’s so good.

        I hope they get an entire spinoff series or something. I love Head Alien.

  31. Daibhid C

    I love how Sarah’s relationship with Joyce has gone from “I guess I’m her friend, but I have to keep my barriers up, and also she’s really annoying” to “I’m her friend, and performative versions of the above are just what we do”.

  32. Geneseepaws

    Still trying to figure out if I should be GIS-I get in Arc-view or in R?

  33. Thomas Knapp

    I mean, there are WORSE things to do with your time, Sarah.

  34. Timtums

    Dooooooeeeees it bother anyone else that it looks like their closet door slid closed without either of them moving or touching it?

    1. Timtums

      Or they could be walking while talking and I just didn’t see it

      1. Spencer

        It was probably Dina.

  35. zelgato

    Oh Sarah. Dinglinging is certainly a valid way of spending a holiday.

  36. Deanatay

    In my mind, if God exists, they’re just trying to be a good parent.

    When mankind was young, they were involved a lot, protecting them, teaching lessons, occasionally disciplining, and providing a symbol of stern authority.

    Now that mankind is like, a teenager, living their own life, but not QUITE ready to move out of the house, God’s giving them space, offering love and support if they ask for it, but otherwise staying out of their way.

    Seriously, though, if mankind sticks around after their 20’s (and there are signs that we ARE that kind of kid), God’s gonna have to start charging us rent.

  37. sirconanad

    I approve of this message, Sarah.

    I’ve been doing what you’ve been doing since I was fourteen because why pay for porn when there’s billions of images available for free with the only bad implication being tracked by a global faceless corporation.

    1. Roborat

      Who pays for porn? You can get your fill for free, and use a VPN if you are concerned about privacy.

      1. thejeff

        And it’s not like paying removes any of the tracking. Just makes it easier to tie to you through credit card info.

        1. Needfuldoer

          “Don’t want your ISP to know all the sordid things you look up on the Internet? Tell us instead!”

          – What all those VPN providers are actually saying

          (A VPN back to your house is a great tool, though. Never fear public WiFi! Access your PC remotely! Stream your gaming rig to your laptop at a hotel!)

  38. Freezer

    So basically, neither of them know what an agnostic is…

    1. Alaric

      Where do you get THAT? Joyce is the sort of person who needs certainty. She’s NOT an agnostic- she went from believer to atheist. She just can’t completely shake the connotations the word “atheist” has for her. Sarah knows all that about Joyce, which is why she said that. Nothing in the discussion indicates that either one doesn’t know what the word “agnostic” means.

  39. Amelie Wikström

    Most people have probably heard the story of the girl who snapped a steel component in her retainer when Killmonger took his shirt off in that movie, and Jordan paid for it when her dentist accidentally made her famous. But I’m leaving this comment here for context for the future historians.

    1. Amelie Wikström

      Michael B Jordan was an actor so hot that, even covered from neck to waist in ritual scarification, when he took his shirt off people did things with their mouths that required medical attention.
