It must be way too early in the morning but I read that as Starscream [BW version – ultramammoth – sheesh] and I almost fell out of my chair. You now owe me one butt cheek, this one is bruised.
Willis said she has not been diagnosed with anything. As a diagnosed (mild) Aspie, I think she has got be Aspie, though. And awesome. Don’t forget awesome.
There are some thing Willis doesn’t have to specifically tell us … like which of the characters are sexually active and which ones aren’t. We can figure them out for ourselves.
That term (Asperger’s Syndrome or Disorder) has been tossed out so readily here that I decided to look it up. Now, I find I’m having similar thoughts to Kernanator …..
That’s for a licensed psychologist to diagnose! Which is tricky with fictional characters. The author himself is seldom qualified to say with certainty. I have Asperger’s, and I’m writing a novel about a character largely based on me, but I’m not sure if the doctors who diagnose her are right.

That T-shirt just became remarkably more appropriate

Dina does not look like she’s preparing to eat Amber. what are you talking about?
Doctor_Who
Give the shippers time, they are still busy drawing fanart of Joyce and Dorothy.
Yotomoe
speak for yourself
*draws faz and dina*
Rheinman
That is just sick and wrong.
AgentKeen
It’s wrong-sick!
Neospector
The best kind of sick!
Tunaro
Wrong like Donkey Kong’s schlong getting stuck in a bong.
Mr. Random
Worse than licking the inside of Ursula’s Purse.
Guest Person Dude
If you rehearse your verse, will it turn out more terse? It seems that it’s getting worse in reverse.
Plasma Mongoose
Dr Seuss is on the loose and he is full of juice and he likes what this thread has produced.
Tenn
Donkey Kong’s schlong getting stuck in a bong should be part of the DK Rap.
Tristan B.
Kill it with fire!!!!!!
ProjectXa3
She are lerrning.
eff this my name is S.A.L.
Isn’t a smiling Dina the cutest thing??
((She still reminds me of my patron, Nepeta.))
FACCCCCE
She reminds me of Starfire from Teen Titans… I’m pretty sure I read all her lines in that voice.
Ahighfunctioningsociopath
Dina, at the very least, we are your friend.
All of us
Zap Rowsdower
Except Mike, who was your mother’s friend last night for a nickel.
Ahighfunctioningsociopath
Even mike is Dina’s friend. Especially in the other ‘verse.
Urzu13
Too soon?
someguywithakatana
It’s been like 5 years or something.
David Willis
Ten.
Nick
Ow, my age!
Dude
This comic is NOT age appropriate for you. Go read a book.
rowanmikaio
Every time someone asks if something is “too soon”, I unfailingly think of Steve Irwin and conclude that, yes, it’s still too soon.
DarkVeghetta
But manta ray is delicious!
Kelli
Awwww…
Doctor_Who
I’m not the only one who hears Michelle Ruff as Yuki Nagato when Dina speaks, right?
That Damn Rat
Well it was, now that you’ve said that though…..
Kelly
I…I don’t know what she sounds like. I have never seen it. I fail as a geek, I know 🙁
SplashBoogie
It’s ridiculous and doesn’t make sense but Dina has a light British accent in my head.
*shrug*
C.
To me it’s Starfire.
Doctor_Who
Way too cheerful and upbeat, if you ask me.
Tunaro
Funny, I hear a less cynical-ish version of Tara Strong’s Raven.
Doctor_Who
That one sorta works.

It must be way too early in the morning but I read that as Starscream [BW version – ultramammoth – sheesh] and I almost fell out of my chair. You now owe me one butt cheek, this one is bruised.
Nomes
Oh dear God Now I’m going to hear her as Starfire every time I read it…
mooslug
Same here. I had to think about where the voice came from as it was unconscious at first and realized it was Starfire.
Yotomoe
I still hear BeMo.
Portmanteaust
BMO is pretty much the best voice. Just generally.
espanolbot
Yaaaay, Dina is the smartest and most pretty!
Led
Dammit, now I can’t NOT hear that voice for her ;O
otusasio451
I’ll be your friend, Dina.
Wonder Wig
F is for friends that do stuff together-
VizardJeffhog
U is for you and me~!
Doctor_Who
“N is for Nanosaurus, a small ornithopod of the hypsilophodont family!
Did I do it right?”
Ahighfunctioningsociopath
Definitely, you did it right down here in the deep blue sea.
Kelly
Very right!
Yotomoe
The best.
Tristan B.
Absolutely wonderful.
Tunaro
Fantastic!
Chaucer59
K is for “knowing how to derail a meme.” ;^)
Bill
And “Y” is for “Why not?”
Gosei
Why is Dina so great
Paul Indrome
*throws confetty in the air and dances around in a cloud of shredded paper(s)*
Go! Dina! Go! Dina! Go Go Go!
EvergreenFir
She’s autistic, right?
Opus the Poet
Somewhere on the scale, yes. Along with the savant characteristics that sometimes go along with having autistic spectrum disorder.
Also awkwardly adorable.
Zap Rowsdower
Aspie at least.
Gosei
Now now, don’t make assumptions.
Kelly
Willis said she has not been diagnosed with anything. As a diagnosed (mild) Aspie, I think she has got be Aspie, though. And awesome. Don’t forget awesome.
EvergreenFir
Yeah, she’s showing classic signs of Asperger’s syndome.
Em
Willis hasn’t made any mention of her being autistic, to my knowledge. So, her (potential) autism isn’t canon. Thus far it’s been up to the audience.
Em
Oh oops. I guess he has!
Van Dyne
I thought the official statement was “she hasn’t been diagnosed with anythng”
George
I think that’s what the Big Bang creators said about Sheldon.
Bill
There are some thing Willis doesn’t have to specifically tell us … like which of the characters are sexually active and which ones aren’t. We can figure them out for ourselves.
Chaucer59
Asperger Syndrome, to be precise.
Kernanator
Unsure, but the fact I so easily identify with her is telling.
Kernanator
(For the record, I am on the autism spectrum)
Regalli
Same and same. That whole “needing explicit confirmation we’re friends” thing? Yeah, that’s a thing I empathize with.
Bill
That term (Asperger’s Syndrome or Disorder) has been tossed out so readily here that I decided to look it up. Now, I find I’m having similar thoughts to Kernanator …..
