ArdieBea

Oh, now this boot's been waiting a long time to drop!

KittyKai

OOOOHHHH SHIIIIIITTTT I was WONDERING when we were gonna get back to this storyline!!!

Minzoku Bokumetsu

was gonna say something about Zoom but Zoomr is already a thing huh

Laura

first impression, i love that carla’s bedsheets and rug are all red-pink matching her hair and clothes. ultra car red? 🚗

Sajuuk-Khar

Carla looking goddamn cute as a button

C

...Gonna be a rough conversation, I imagine.

Fart Captor

"I'm a lesbian" "Yes, honey. We know"

ArdieBea

I wonder if we're going to get visuals, since this time around 'mom and dad' aren't Joe and Rachel.

Moonrunes

One-percenter dorm rooms look nice and spacious

Railway Series Book Club

this is exciting and all but im very distracted by how carla's tv suddenly became taller between panels

Astariel

Carla! It's so good to see her again! I hope this conversation doesn't go too badly for her.

William Lewis

This could be a hard conversation about to play out. Hugs, girl.

Crunchos cereal

It’s one of those Ruttech growing panels.

Buck Caldwell

Honestly, she's like top 3 for me. Carla, Sal, and Dina, although not always in that order, and always with a very dense pack of 4 or 5 keeping pace close behind them.

ArdieBea

Just noticed that that's today's IDS on the bed beside her in the first panel. Headline, "Make love, not war" just visible. Clearly on her mind. I don't think this is just going to be a catch-up about her new relationship.

Harold

Reminder that she was assigned a single room for a reason, and it wasn't because of her family's wealth. Granted, if her name wasn't Rutten she probably wouldn't have gotten it, but that's a whole other story.

ArdieBea

Also, the angle of the PC monitor has changed and the position of the drink. I wonder if it's meant to indicate time passing?

MrShoggoth

“Hey mom. Hey dad.” “Hey, honey, how are you?” “I’m awesome!” “Oh, we know! Good talking, same time tomorrow?” “You bet! Love you both.” “Love you too. Keep being awesome!”

Logibear

Love that the Championship Belt for "Most Awkward Conversation of the Day" is going to go to fucking Carla.

GundamBradley

I want her parents to bizarrely look remarkably like Walkyverse Joe and Rachel, for funsies.

Moonrunes

How sure are we that it wasn't because of her families wealth?

Sajuuk-Khar

“Ummm, one little thing! Do you…do you think Ruttech could. Maybe. Not sell missile guidance systems to, uh, Bulmeria? Is that…possible?” “Oh, sweetie, we already don’t! At least, not directly.” “Haha! Cool! Okay, I just. Y’know. ThE nEwS. Hahaha!”

Astariel

Nice catch! I totally missed that.

Brian Danger Hicks

Wow Mom and Dad, I never realized how much you look like whatshername from down the hall and that one horny guy who's keeps hanging around here.

5099 5618 v2.0

Have Carla's parents been onscreen, before? If not, I'm curious who they'll remind me of. Y'know, besides Carla.

Ragtime

well I know who is gonna win the next bonus poll.

Syl

i’ve been wondering what was going to be on that TV for like nine months now since it showed up in a preview panel ominously

The Lurker

Good luck with this Carla. Damn you Willis! (Just want to get that out there early…)

Tessea

Personally I assumed the protest was going to be the topic, considering the last strip with Carla and Charlie talking about it.

Sajuuk-Khar

You know, Jugs’ boyfriend

Sajuuk-Khar

Oh. Oh no. NO. NO!!! YOU CAN’T DO ROADBLOCK LIKE THIS! HE’LL GET YOU FOR IT—DAMN YOU, WILLIS!!!

Donny K

Oh this storyline is going to kill me I can feel it in the air

The Axolartl

It's almost certainly because of her family's wealth, most universities have at least one inclusive residence hall or would just stick Carla with either a trans roommate or a cis roommate who was chill.

Tessea

I don't think we've ever seen Carla taking something seriously. it'll be nice to see another side of her! I've never been able to get a read on how much she actually buys into her own hype vs just enjoying being loud and pestering people. Also, I don't know if it's something on my end, but the comments seem to be shut off on the main site's update.

Amós Batista

I was really afraid the Kiss Headline went too far.

Rob McBobson

It's not your end. No comments appear for me either.

Harold

Hoo boy. I didn't look at the main site before going to bed last night, so I'm wondering whether Willis pre-emptively shut off comments on that strip after seeing how heated things got *here*, or whether comments were initially enabled as usual and they just got SO BAD SO FAST that Willis said "Fuck it."

Harold

@5099 5618 v2.0: Carla's dad "appeared" as an off-panel voice in a bonus strip about Carla's childhood.

Smoochie

@Harold pre-emptive, and reasonably so.

zee

This is a very good change of perspective

Edwin I Callahan

In Shortpacked, her parents were Joe and Rachel. Maybe the three of them used a dimensional portal to escape the Soggies into DOA.

Empress of Robots

I don't think I ever realized that Carla was THAT KID who put a GIANT TV in her dorm room.

Harold

Willis has posted on this decision at itswalky.tumblr.com.

The Balloon Animal

The 2026 reveal that Asher has been working for the Soggies all along is gonna blow a lot of minds 🤯

KittyKai

By the by, given the alt text of today's strip on the main site, I feel the need to apologize for my less than charitable interpretation of Raidah's last comment I legitimately thought it was in response to Joyce being gay, but in retrospect that doesn't make as much sense as it being in response to the "nothing matters more than that" part, and how that can be more of a comment on the genocide 😅 Raidah's wording confused my one brain cell-

Empress of Robots

"HELLO. I DEMAND TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER OF THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX PLEASE. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS!"

Empress of Robots

To be clear, the only character in DoA powerful enough to single-handedly topple the Military Industrial Complex is Carla.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Logibear It came down to the wire, and the judges needed more time than usual to deliberate, but there's a reason she's got all those championship belts. She plays to win.

Sajuuk-Khar

Asher leaning in close to whisper in Ethan’s ear in their most intimate moment: “Soggies may rule.”

Rob McBobson

I don't follow. You don't see the strip?

Hebbes

I think it was my Connection at the time. I can see it now.

Katrina Marie Paton

And there's no reason to believe we'll get any more than that this time.
