  1. Dude

    1. David Herbert

      We should throw a party. The dress code is hoodie dresses and pyjama jeans.

      1. Cragalanch

        And strap-ons

        1. Plasma Mongoose

        4. Not Quite

          Cadbury!

        5. Opus the Poet

          Not canon in this universe. Cocoa Puffs are, as well as Fruity Pebbles.

        6. Jaxx Sentinel

          Cadbury cereal for all!!!!!

        7. SiggimusMaximus

          And the mcnuggets. McDonalds has a deal going on.

        9. Parnifia the Bastard

          Is nobody going to make a nickel joke here?

        10. Jeremy

          Well I was gonna invite a few moms, but they said they’d only show up for a nickle… so yeah I’m gonna need about fifty dollars in nickles, any one wanna pitch in?

    2. Chris

      For the war, against the war, WHO CARES?
      1000 comic strips.

  2. LiaHansen

    She got it bad.

    1. Jen Aside

      She’s hot for teacherJacob

    2. KingMabel

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        I was a bit disappointed that it wasn’t Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LetJHQ_V05o

        1. LiaHansen

          I clicked on the first link expecting it to be, then I came back and was pleasantly surprised.

        2. Kelly

          Much better!

      2. ninja_jesus

        NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  3. Nym

    She is so adorable today.

    1. Yotomoe

      Well Joyce imbued those clothes with her cuteness.

    2. WaveRocker

      Agreement.

  4. Doctor_Who

    One of the symptoms of Butts Disease is becoming an anime character.

    1. Jay Eff

      When she starts calling him “Senpai,” we’ll know the disease has gone into the advanced stages….

      1. Yotomoe

        She will run to school with toast in her mouth despite having had plenty of time to eat breakfast at home.

        1. Doctor_Who

          When Joyce annoys her, she will pull a giant hammer out of nowhere and club her. The resulting bump will be the size of a bowling ball and have an x-shaped bandage on it.

        2. Roborat

          Will she almost become an expert guitar player despite never having touched one in her life?

        3. Roborat

          Argh, another post where I didn’t proofread, substitute also for almost.

      2. GoogerGeiger

        Jacob-samaaaa~

        1. Ancestral Hamster

          Start making homemade chocolates for Valentine’s Day, Sarah-chan!

    2. arank11

      Other symptoms include biting of the lower lip, prolonged fantasizing, and the extreme urge to say “Dat ass”

      1. Jen Aside

        When she spontaneously has pink hair, then we’ll worry.

        1. Zap Rowsdower

          Don’t be silly, pink hair is for protagonists and cutesy types, she’s actually already got the requisite Black n’ Spiky required of the Brooding Loner with a Heart of Gold.

    3. Plasma Mongoose

      A 90s-early 00s anime character to be exact.

    4. Cragalanch

      Now Cragalanch is remembering Fender’s line from Robots “GIVE ME THOSE BIG ANIME EYES”

  5. Mr. Random

    Put a windmill in front of that girl. Solve the energy crisis.

    1. Doctor_Who

      Jacob farted when he passed her.

      1. Doctor_Who

        Aaaand that was supposed to be a response to Taigan’s comment below. I has the stoopid.

        1. Mr. Random

          You are wonderful.

  6. Taigan

    Is she supposed to be fanning herself with the book? Shouldn’t it be tilted more towards her for that? Or is something else going on here?

    1. Yotomoe

      Maybe she’s trying to cool him off. He’s WAY too hot.

    2. Chris M.

      I, uh… I actually thought the eye-sparkle indicated that we had shifted to Sarah’s mental view of the world, in which she was opening her box.

  7. Dennis

    Yeah 1000!

  8. Wonder Wig

    I’ve heard of making your bed rock, but making your book shake is just ridiculous.

  9. Van Dyne

    “You can’t have two black people in the same place at the same time! It’s unrealistic! It stretches credibility!”

    1. Yotomoe

      As a black person, I will go on record saying each of us exudes a force field that does not allow us to be within 20 feet of one another.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        So how does a place like Harlem even exist then… hmmmmmm?

        1. Yotomoe

          Harlem is a myth like the Loch Ness Monster or North Dakota.

        2. Van Dyne

          So any athletic event where there appear to be multiple black athletes within close proximity of each other is what, not to scale?

        3. timemonkey

          It’s actually only one black person and a bunch of white people in blackface.

        4. E. R.

          Are you sure it’s not just one guy in super position? It would certainly explain the salaries, if he’s getting paid to play 10 different positions.

        5. newllend

          As a nother black person I confirm this totally realistic fact.

        6. Opus the Poet

          Having been to South Dakota, I can confirm that there is no North Dakota.

        7. The Candyman

          Of course. Anything above that is just Lower Canada.

        8. Ocbrad1

          Living in Canada, I can totally confirm this. Canadians are creeping southward…hence the polar vortex. Next, they’re going to force curling on everyone.

        9. Kryss LaBryn

          Curling, and Timbits.

          And double-doubles.

        10. Opus the Poet

          Hell I welcome our new Canadian overlords and their back bacon and timbits, if they bring their health care system too.

      2. Drunken Nordmann

        People related to each other are an exception, I guess? There were African twins in my class in comprehensive school – and they seemed to be perfectly fine with standing next to each other.

        1. Kitiko

          As soon as they’re born, the universe starts expanding just a little faster to make an acceptable distance between them. Clearly.

          SCIENCE.

        2. Gigafreak

          It was an optical illusion. You were really dealing with one person and a cleverly-placed series of mirrors.

          When a black woman gives birth, the baby’s repulsion field causes it to be launched out of the vagina at mach 3. This is how they win wars: the babyzooka is unstoppable.

        3. Roborat

          My mental picture after reading this was both hilarious and horrifying. Congratulations.

        4. Drunken Nordmann

          Do these pictures come automatically or do you will yourself to imagine them?

        5. Roborat

          My mind has this unfortunate tendency to take off on the strangest tangents. I have no control over it.

      3. Estron

        Which would explain why Sal is black and Walky is generic beige.

    2. Marisa Mockery

      Congratulations. Your conversation managed to make my mom laugh several times. Awesome job XD (not being sarcastic)

  10. Yotomoe

    Aw lordy! Goodness gracious! Mercy. Poor gal’s gettin’ the VAPORS.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      She really needs to stop wearing the whale bone girdle then.

      1. saltchocolate

        Feelin hot hot hot!

        1. SDGlyph

          Perfect Gravatar is perfect.

  11. nothri

    Those eyes are getting all big and shiny and very….nano desu….

    I think Sarah is turning into an anime character.

    (I think she’s turning Japanese, I think she’s turning Japanese, I really think so, think so, think so…)

  12. JessWitt

    No spit, 1000 strips?! Wow, where’d the time go?

  13. Super Duper

    Sarah has turned into Book 1 Walky

    1. Glacirus

      Tomorrow: That book goes flying at Jacob’s head.

      1. JustCheetoDust

        In a few years she’ll be pointing her weenus at the ceiling in Jacob’s room, as well as itself.

  14. Juliecat

    it seems like just yesterday we were in the 900s. Bravo, Willis!

  15. Mr. Random

    Ladies and Gentlemen, the “misanthropic” Sarah Clinton.

  16. Plasma Mongoose

    I like how Sarah has the ♥ in her eyes in the last two panels.

    1. KingMabel

      That doesn’t look like a heart to me… then again I can’t draw hearts.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        I used the Web browser zooming technology to get a close up of her eyes.

        1. JustCheetoDust

          Technology is a wonderful thing.

  17. newllend

    She not going to past this class( someone ask why?)

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Ummm why??

      1. newllend

        Because she wants the D, I know bad taste but still come on 😀

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          D as in 8====D ?

        2. newllend

          I was thinking more like D as in 8==D……………….that joke would have Been funnier if it was directed at Joe instead, I have nothing against Jacob.

        3. caesaria82

          D is totally a passing grade at most schools tho.
          But good joke otherwise xD

        4. begbert2

          It’s like a passing grade in the same way that a pinto is a racecar. You may cross the finish line, but you’re not going to get the prize you’re going for.

        5. Opus the Poet

          Pintos used to clean house in SCCA Showroom Stock racing before they aged out. You have to remember how bad everything else was back then for a comparison. Pintos are crap by today’s standards but aside from the gas tank problem they were yards better than what was being sold by other car makers. Remember the Vega and its self-destructing engine?

        6. DSL

          When I was a teenager I wanted a Pacer in the worst way. Then I found out that was the only way they came.

  18. Flitterbie

    Did Sarah just turn into an anime character?

  19. Kiggy

    Is that a crack I see on Sarah’s fortress wall?

    1. Yotomoe

      Jacob’s mounting an offensive.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Or more accurately, she wants him to “mount her defences”. 😀

        1. Cragalanch

          You beat Cragalanch to the joke, Plasma

        2. Plasma Mongoose

          I’m hard to beat when to cums to making hard ass puns. ^_^

        3. Cragalanch

          Cragalanch won’t fall behind, ever again

  20. SilverArrowArtemis

    1000. 900 more than 100.

  21. LiaHansen

    Anyone know how many in-universe days it’s been? I wanna figure out how many strips take place every Dumbiverse hour.

    1. newllend

      I say about two months and a week.

      1. LiaHansen

        Not precise enough! This is very important to me for the next couple minutes!

    2. JessWitt

      Four weeks, I think. That’s what Mike said last week.

      1. David Willis

        It’s the beginning of the fourth week.

        1. LiaHansen

          Right! So that averages out to about 1.5 strips per hour in-universe. Pretty crazy.

        2. David Willis

          That’s actually about how long it takes me to draw them.

        3. Opus the Poet

          You mean we could be having near real time updates if someone were to chain you to the tablet and drawing table? Please don’t stoke my evil thoughts like that…

        4. nothri

          Now I want to have a little clock down in the corner of each strip that tells the time like that clock on an episode of 24. And I want each sec to make a loud sound effect like the 24 clock does.

        5. nothri

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLlRgpZ3oqc

        6. fudo81

          wait, isn’t it more like 1.9?
          1000 strips, about 22*24 hours…

      2. JAD

        That’s what he said (seriously) although I do think / feel that it appears as if more time had passed, if you look at the development of characters (Joyce, Ethan, Amber, Danny) and their relationships (Dorothy / Walky, Ruth / Billie)

  22. JessWitt

    So from the Shortpacked update, it seems Jacob might become a full-time DoA character now?

  23. Kernanator

    *sexy sax music plays*

    1. Yotomoe

      When I read that I just imagined “Careless whisperer”

      1. suchipi

        Me too

      2. horrorshow88

        http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=GaoLU6zKaws

  24. Azumango

    Do he got the booty?

    1. Lizardizzle

      He dooo.

  25. Quatoria

    Aw, not so much as a glance. Sorry, Sarah.

    1. WaveRocker

      Yet 😉

  26. John

    I’m glad I checked the Shortpacked! hovertext before I made the joke I was gonna make here.

  27. Doulos

    Since they have the same class, did she notice Jacob earlier?

  28. JAD

    I am counting 995 strips with this one, but maybe I missed a couple, or five.

    1. JAD

      Ok, I recounted and I’ve got 987, hm.

      1. LiaHansen

        how did you count??

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        Maybe Willis included the Walky Performs A Sex comics in the totals.

      3. MosukeHinata

        If you click “Archive” and then the word “comic”, which is the second word on the new screen, it says there are 988.

        1. JAD

          I’ve got that many.

  29. Lizardizzle

    Congrats on doing 35.7 comics per in-universe day for 1274 real days since you started DOA!

    (yes I did the math)

  30. Cragalanch

    He didn’t even look at her…. damn

    1. bananarama

      It sort looks like it. It’s hard to tell from the perspective, but the first time I saw it I thought the eye was ever so glancing at her. It’s sort off center.

      1. Cragalanch

        Nope. Straight ahead, like a good driver

        1. OldFart

          As a professional driver, looking straight ahead most of the time is a habit I constantly battle. Safety requires constant eye and head movement. Two seconds is the maximum recommended time to look any one direction. This is especially hard when an attractive butt is in view. GLANCE at the pedestrian’s ass, do not stare!

  31. Dean

    I’m shocked that Jacob isn’t wearing a hoodie dress.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      He wants to be a lawyer so maybe he wants to project a less casual image.

      1. Jay Eff

        I bet Walky’s wearing a hoodie dress…

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          You might be right according to the last panel, top left corner.

          http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/02-i-was-a-teenage-churchmouse/selfconscious/

        2. begbert2

          Assuming Walky developed boobs and a different hairstyle, anyway.

        3. tom

          I’ll call that the same hairstyle, and assume he borrowed Dorothy’s boobs, for the sake of the fantasy. Or, Willis did a sexism and when he said that “everybody but Sara wears a hoodie dress”, tacitly implying that non-women are non-people.

  32. Giant Speck

    DO HE GOT THE BOOTY? HE DOOOOOOOO!

  33. The Blot

    1,000 really!?! Wow, that’s crazy! And impressive how you lined up the two Jacob strips in DoA and Shortpacked. Congrats on the big milestone!!!

  34. Bilfred

    d’aww

  35. Deathjavu

    Is that…is that a happy Sarah?

    I don’t understand anything anymore. Next up it’ll be miserable atheist Joyce, fundie Dorothy, and emotionally stable Amber.

    And everyone will be wearing goatees.

  36. Bilfred

    Also, don’t tell me Jeph infected you. The last thing the CDC needs is an other Butts disease epidemic.

    1. David Willis

      so many people think butts disease came from jeph and not me

      1. Bilfred

        *ghasp*
        I always thought it was the yelling bird that started it.

        1. David Willis

          http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1910

      2. Plasma Mongoose

        So you’re like Typhoid Mary, she had the disease first but the symtoms only really showed up on the others she infected.

        1. Nothri

          So typhoid willy then?

  37. GoSpeedRumpist

    I want Sarah to have him, but I want Ethan to have him more.

    1. WaveRocker

      #lovetriangleproblemz

    2. teddydragon

      I have to say, I’ve been thinking the same thing.

  38. Tom Speelman

    And with this landmark strip, Butts Disease is now officially Dumbiverse canon. Willis, you magnificent bastard.

  39. WaveRocker

    Congratulations, Mr. Willis!
    You’ve worked hard on this comic, and man had it payed off.
    I vote you take a night or two vacation off to celebrate.

  40. Ancestral Hamster

    Sarah’s thoughts in panel 3: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.”

  41. synnerman

    1000 comics, you are a machine!

  42. EvergreenFir

    She fanning herself or “shaking” things like Baby Cakes (from China, IL)

  43. Idontcarenomore

    1000. Congratulations Mr. Willis.

    North Dakota? Ok then.

    Yup, he is definately one hot dude, Sarah has good taste.

  44. Piccolo

    The 1000th comic? Well happy birthday to me!

  45. Leonou

    Hubba Hubba, weet papa !

    Next strip, Sarah clubs Jacob on the head and drags him back to her closet.

  46. Notebooked

    I love how her mouth disappears, leaving only the Angle of Arousal.

  47. Acher4

    CongraTulations!

    Butts Disease for everyone!
    And Hoodie Dresses!
    They seem to go together 😛

  48. saltchocolate

    Congrats on the big 1000, Willis!

  49. caesaria82

    I love this strip omfg. So cute.
    And congrats on the 1000!

  50. Angel

    is she trying to fan her scent at him or something?

    1. maxlines

      If she is, it ain’t working. I see a big steaming pile of disappointment in her future.

    2. Arkadi

      She’s trying to cool herself down.

  51. Arkadi

    Double Jacob today!

  52. itachi_0501

    Congrats, Dave! 1000 of anything is quite an accomplishment–even if it’s only moved things along through September of the school year!

    #damnyouwillis

    😀

  53. N0083rP00F

    In a few years we will be dealing with snow for about a decade afterwards.

  54. Kryss LaBryn

    1000 strips! Woo!

    They grow up so fast; it only seems like a few weeks since they left for college… 😉

  55. Eric J. Barkman

    Hmm, odd. I only count 989 strips.

  56. red

    why still the bandanna thingy

  57. Roborat

    Congrats on the 1000 strip milestone . . . again.

  58. Kschenke

    Her thoughts around panel four: http://media0.giphy.com/media/zOax5QV5VQr8k/giphy.gif

  59. Tenn

    Jubilations and applausements!

    On another note, I’m a bit sad to learn that there won’t be a DoA Hooper, but the mental image of him teaching Gender Studies and starting every class by yelling “HOT HOT SEXXENGS!” makes up for it ten times over. 😀

  60. man in black

    congrats on 1000

  61. Tealjoy

    Know that feeling mmphh!

  62. DruffySpinkilingus

    Somehow this reminded me of this song
