Ooh this is a delightful twist!

el

A big tech company does war crimes? that's pretty much guaranteed, really.

Maybeeus

Oh yeah this is gonna hit like a bus for folks who aren't watching like a hawk isn't it? edit: CARLA AGONY BEGIN!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAA Something about Carla i remembered is that she's apparently a pacifist i can only imagine how gut wrenching it is going to be going into all of this knowing her parents who compared to everyone elses have been great are actively in support of an ongoing genocide. It's evil shitty parents all the way down...

“Aw, dammit! Stupid lovable billionaire mom and dad! Stupid awesome robots!!”

"Charlie, I'm afraid we're gonna have to date Mary..." "..." "This is where you say 'Damn'." "Damn."

Moonrunes

Oooooh, are we finally gonna' touch on Carla's family being part of the 1%?

Jeremy AR

Ah okay bulmeria are the genocider side here, got the opposite impresión fof a while so good it got clarified.

Andrea Andrew

And just like that, Carla’s arc of actually fighting against wealthy people like herself has begun. She’s now the Vivian Jenna Wilson of the Dumbiverse.

C

Carla having a Tony Stark moment of realization?

Dan Rabin

Yes, BULMERIA HAS A RIGHT TO ELF. The Dukedom of Thingly wouldn't allow Elves carrying Lothlórien passports to board flights to Bulmeria, and now Bulmeria is short on lembas.

Grace Serenity

I bet she stops at Burger King on her way to the press conference

Harold

@If It Bleeds: It was touched on slightly before, during the arc where Carla was trying to get Booster to "introduce" her to Charlie.

Megh

In the strip we first saw it, I thought Mary's sign said "Bush was a democrat" I'm very disappointed to discover I was wrong

Harold

@Andrea Andrew: Well, except for the fact that unlike Vivian's father (a certain World's Wealthiest Asshole, for those who may not know), Carla's parents support her 100% (and not just financially). It'll be interesting to see if she does start demonstrating against their interests. Based on the little we know about her parents, they might actually be proud that she's thinking for herself.

SamuraiCraig

She split Carla's pranking in twain!

Harold

"Carla Rutten was able to build this pie in a DORM ROOM! With a box of LEFTOVER INGREDIENTS!" "Well, I'm sorry - I'm not Carla Rutten."

Maude Reads Things

Well, that's both unsurprising and also probably a declaration of war because like fuck is Carla going to let Mary own her.

Jayne Lindgren

"Also, you should join me out there. We can sing the Bulmerian national anthem together." "Hail, hail Bulmeria! A land I didn't make up!"

Kelly (they-them)

Alternate universe where Carla's father uses her as a human bullet shield when she's a toddler

Railway Series Book Club

Maybe it's just because all we'd heard about the regional conflict was "there's a genocide being fueled in there", but I was kinda expecting this to be an IP find/replace plot where Bulmeria is P rather than the I? But there's loads of ways for corrupt regimes to do a genocide, so yknow. Probably better for reduction of Main Site Comment Discourse for the specifics of this genocide to be legally distinct from but still easily understandable as a stand-in for IP.

Mariah

I wondered when the ethics of her parents are cool tech billionares! Would be addressed.

Packy Anderson

At least in the Dumbiverse Joyce didn't become a missionary in Bulmaria. I mean, she didn't in the Walkyverse, either, but in SOME universe she probably did.

John C. Kirk

Yesterday I saw a video on Instagram that was similar to this. (Search for "Max Porter Wild West") It's about the British arms trade, but the same principles would apply to a US company. The basic idea is that there are people working at these companies (e.g. "Hugo's dad") who are nice, and they'll have conversations about which fleece is better for hiking, but they'll also facilitate brutal acts of violence by other people.

Jasmijn Wellner

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Carla the Prankster?

Uniquitous

Pranked by her own petard.

joe mcguire

Dumbing of Age: where young people are forced to reconcile the fact that the people they love and admire are inextricably linked to damaging systems and indefensible ethics and try (mostly ineffectually) to reconcile their love with their idealism. It’s hilarious, I promise!

"Your prank has locked onto my heart with the unerring efficiency of a Ruttech guidance system!"
