Oh god, bisexual neophytes *will* do anything before kissing their longtime crush

Vivian

Oh, Dorothy

Giant Speck

Willis would rather kill off Dorothy than let us see her kiss Joyce.

Grace Serenity

Dorothy, I'm glad you're having a life changing experience. Please don't do it in the middle of police brutality.

Astariel

For fuck's sake, Dorothy, get out of there and go talk to someone about your self-hatred issues.

C.T. Phipps

Dorothy: DOWN WITH BULMERIA! Jocelyne: We're supporting it. Dorothy: UP WITH BULMERIA!

Nah, I'm pretty sure there's a Slipshine volume coming. (See also: "Give them what they want, but not how they want it") Getting there will likely require a great deal more trauma and quite a lot of edging, mind you.

C.T. Phipps

Dorothy would rather be shot than admit she's a cheating cheater who cheats.

William Lewis

It's gonna take Joyce to get her out of there. I'll bet it right now.

Fart Captor

Dotty I do not think you're ready to fist fight the cops

Simon Magid

Dorothy the bisexual disaster

jafortee

I know Dorothy’s probably going to end up leaving but a “Moses’s hands grew tired” reference would fit very nicely here

Railway Series Book Club

My favorite genre of DOA strip are the ones where the characters very swiftly address something the comments section has been freaking out about for days or more, because they have zero faith in The Process. This moment of Jocelyne addressing the points of "hey, the people who actually know things about this activity are saying to go, this is a bad idea white girl" after two or three days of people arguing about Dorothy doing this as if it somehow wasn't going to be addressed is a nice addition to that pantheon.

Ragtime

Hell yeah Dorothy!

TobyTura

An irritant indeed!

MrShoggoth

Dorothy. Warhammer. It’s easier.

Gale Tazzin

what dorothy needs is to be heroically but nonlethally martyred so she can confess her love to joyce from a hospital bed or jail cell

Megh

But have you considered Dotty is a 19 year old white girl? And therefore knows everything? As a current white girl, and former 19 year old, I can in fact confirm I knew everything at 19. Unfortunately I've since forgotten most of it This felt funnier in my head, but I've like written it out already so ima post it anyway

Megh

On a more serious note, what you described here is why I avoid the main site comments whenever more serious plotlines are happening...which is usually. But when we get some goofy bullshit I still hang out there occasionally, or at least lurk

Maybeeus

With how she's holding that sign you would guess it's blasting "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel...

Maybeeus

The worst part is Joyce is likely to be hurt more than her at this point. Fucking imagine trying to martyr yourself and then later find out that your bestfriend who you tried to get out of that situation specifically was the one who took the worst of it.

Railway Series Book Club

i wish i'd known everything when i was a 19 year old white girl! would've made way better meme edits if i'd had any amount of photoshop literacy at that age and yeah, sometimes i feel tempted to try commenting on there, but like. there's just so many people failing their literacy skill checks that it doesn't feel worth it to add my voice there.

Lisa

Dorothy's kinda saying the quiet part out loud, that this is about herself.

Sajuuk-Khar

Now I feel kind of stupid, because I thought the people inside the barricade WERE making a stand

Maybeeus

This is kinda why i gave up on the big thinky posts i used to make. Most of what i say is going to either be answered next page or flipped on it's head or it's a surface level observation that everyone else is going to make on their own and saying it with the most words possible won't really earn you smarty points. I gave up on the comments on the main site when i made a joke post and someone replied trying to be a smartass and i decided then and there that it wasn't worth it anymore.

NinjaZaku

Dorothy. You are not a hero for doing this. If anything you're making the other protesters look dumb.

Acebender

does Dorothy want to get arrested to avoid the sexual tension with Joyce or

MrShoggoth

Honestly, she should get either, they’ve gotten way too expensive for their own good over the last twenty years

Shane Wegner

Dorothy’s Priorities- 1- Be a hero 2- Save people/world (Variations of 1 and 2) X- Joyce If Joe were there, Joyce’s safety would be Priorities 1-5 and he wouldn’t have left her to go charging in. The characters have different top priorities.

Kelly (they-them)

This reminds me of the White Board Dingdong Bandit storyline. As it was ongoing, there were so many people explaining different ways you could get permanent marker off of a white board and is it really such a big deal? And then as the story line ended, Amazi-Girl told Joyce it wasn't really a big deal, after all, there's so many ways you can get permanent marker off a white board

Terra Bruder

Willis if you bury your gays AGAIN you might not be able to walk it back

Anna K

They're surviving to make a stand another day. Can't fault them for that.

Anna K

Dorothy: "Down with this sort of thing!" Jocelyne: "Careful now."

Sajuuk-Khar

Absolutely not, no fault at all, I just misunderstood the whole context of Dorothy Going For It lmao I thought it was like, purely noble, turns out it’s this messy deal again :P

So-Long-Heteronormity

Re: “more upper body strength” - this is where being an engineer helps. See, the key is having a long, sturdy handle, cardboard packing angles work great, that is fastened at multiple points (hot glue along plus 3 lines of tape across). You want a sign where you are supporting it close to your core. Also, I much prefer foam core for the actual sign part

Onyx

We all have ways of self-destructing at different points, and Dorothy has finally hit hers.

The Deliberate Myth

That's also where the tear gas goes... which is the last thing we saw in the panel with Joyce. Fun. I am all for the Dobblerfication of Dorothy.

The Deliberate Myth

No, but Amazigirl is. I hope Dorothy's pressence doesn't lead to Amazigirl being arrested and/or revealed.

Silent

Invoking 'Bury Your Gays' on a story where >75% of the main cast is gay or bi seems seems a bit reductive. Its a more nuanced topic than just "killing off gay characters is bad" and I don't feel like this storyline is really running into any of the potential pitfall associated with the trope.

Harold

Amazi-Girl is going to fireman-carry Dorothy out of there, which will cause Dorothy to experience a "hurt-itself-in-its-confusion" moment.

Terra Bruder

• advocating for Dorothy's death here is a wild take • it's systemic (and as such not about the demo of this comic) • most of those characters are cis-passing and in het- passing relationships, e.g. not the ones who get Buried • it's a vibe • it wasn't amazigirl or walky that died before, but the subject of secret hookups and compartmentalized longing I don't see Tony out here conflicted about his straightness in the sniper zone. As a reminder, Mike was also the subject of Unexpected Feelings (albeit from an awakened gay boy)

Silent

To be clear, I'm not advocating for Dorothy's death. I think killing off a prominent character in what should be the middle of a major arc for her would be a bad move narratively. I just wouldn't see it as a moral failing on the part of Willis/the narrative. And FWIW, I do take some issue with how the fallout of Mike's death ended up going (largely with how Ethan ended up ignored in favour of Amber's reaction), I just don't see the happening here. I also can't agree with you wrt bi characters in het relationships not counting, especially if you're including Joyce in that. Like, if Dorothy dies, and we only focus on Walky's reaction, then sure, I'll conceed the point and be pretty disappointed, but I imagine we'd focus more on Joyce, and maybe Becky as well if that did happen. Of course, unless Willis has been drawing multiple fake preview panels for Bluesky, this is all a bit meaningless.

Jim Farmer

I'm having serious concerns that this story is going to lead to Amazi-Girl getting arrested trying to get a resisting Dorothy to safety. I think if that happens, Dorothy is going to just...break.

Joey245

Knowing her luck, she and Joyce are gonna both get arrested and end up in the same jail cell. Can't run away from the conversation anymore, Dotty!

Railway Series Book Club

@Tcurt99: for what its worth, i enjoyed reading your big thinky posts whenever they popped up, lol

Railway Series Book Club

she's absolutely doing the wrong thing right now. she should keep doing this, because her self-destructive tendencies are hot

Terra Bruder

No, I'm not referring to Mike there. Although, Mike was not het passing IMO. Unless I'm misremembering he was pretty opportunity out. He was a Brian Kinney if I've ever seen one. Also congrats on the pronoun change, although I may just have seen something that's been there for a while.

Gale Tazzin

I've expected dorothy to break for the past two years

Gale Tazzin

i dunno, i think she's only bi for joyce

Railway Series Book Club

Dorothy's been in the process of breaking for basically the entire spring semester! She's not well!

Harold

Have we already forgotten that unsubtle lip-biting moment when Becky pushed Dotty into the adjoining room (immediately following her bi-realization), and she looked up from the floor at A-G working out? It was practically the opening scene of a '70s softcore movie.

Harold

I recently re-watched SAY ANYTHING... after not having seen it for a long time, and what people always forget about the boombox scene is that the gesture *doesn't work*. Diane doesn't come rushing out into the rain and into Lloyd's arms; they don't get back together until after she finds out about her father. Somewhat off topic, I know, but since Tcurt99 directly referenced that scene I figured I'd risk it. Great film, by the way. "The world is full of *guys*- be a *man*."
