Dumbing of Age

How many friends did this guy have? And not just friends but loyal friends!

It'll probably be a bonus patreon strip

Did Willis ever get around to drawing that gay Danny porn comic that he promised years ago

Kek, it was probably like that

He still hasn't drawn the head alien comic for the patreon milestone.

See, should have just killed Mafia Dad

Once the goons showed up it's the first thing I thought of. Honestly, I feel like War Zone and this arc have a lot in common, though I can't quite figure out how to elaborate it, in terms of narrative problems, except War Zone doesn't expect you to treat it seriously.

What is Willis' problem with dads?

Parental issues. That and Blaine was evil in Shortpacked! and god forbid Dave not rehash something.

Wait, did no one do their research? How do they not know what Joyce looks like? They should know that she slashed his face.

>Blaine: I'm a supervillain! Everyone who's evil knows they're evil!

Flyers, obviously.

>"Do you have a beef with Amazi-Girl? Come fight her at 7 PM. Free pizza!"

He probably has a big group of buddies in the pick-up artist community.

He hates all parents. He cheered when Elsa and Anna's parents died in Frozen. There's a Shortpacked! comic for it and everything. I'll see if I can find it.

And what said.

Ahh, you posted mere seconds before me, lol.

I forgot it was actually an appearance by Willis in a Hijinks Ensue strip.

hijinksensue.com/comic/full-grown-froze-bros/

what the actual fuck is he retarded, I ask cause all I know about this story is the dumb tranny and the based christian girl

Fuck off

I love how the Hijinks Ensue strips about Willis come off as incredibly mean-spirited if you don't know anything about Dave Willis, but in context they're at worst a gentle ribbing.

Eh. This seems more like poking fun at adult Frozen fans telling other people how to interpret a kid's movie. It's not funny and comes off as fence-sitting. But I don't get a "hates all parents" vibe from this.

Is this still in the first semester of their first year of college?

Yes although there's a possibility of a small timeskip after this storyline.

Honestly I am only hanging on until Willis eventually has Becky, Joyce, and Dina in a polygamous lesbian relationship so we can have a 3way porno comic.

Eh, I'm not sure if it's gentle.

It's in context of everything else he's said about parents. He legitimately despises parents and all religion. His parents were strict, and he's stayed salty about it his entire life.

One time, his mom made him a cake with one of his comic strips on it. He was upset because she chose the "wrong" one and griped about how she never pays attention to or cares about his work.

He is extremely persistent about hating parents in blog posts and all of his comics from the past 20 years. I wish I was exaggerating.

In this strip, yes, he's fixating on "death to evil parents," because he's literally always like that.

About 4 or 5 years ago (in IRL time), they went home to visit their parents for the first time since the semester started.

>He was upset because she chose the "wrong" one
wait how do you chose the wrong one it's a free cake you ass and two how the fuck old is he to still get cake with pictures on it

IIRC the context of the strip made it a poor choice for putting on a birthday cake, which makes the gripe about her not paying attention to his work make sense.

>One time, his mom made him a cake with one of his comic strips on it. He was upset because she chose the "wrong" one and griped about how she never pays attention to or cares about his work.

Okay, if that's true, I take back what I said. Holy fuck, that's going out of your way to be spiteful. That kid of his is fucked.

She's a Grandma. You don't gripe about that kind of thing. You laugh it off.

This one seems a bit less generalized.

yeah when I was a little kid like 6? my mom bought a cake that had a page from the I Spy books and to hide it from me on my birthday she put it in the oven and forgot about it so when she turned the stove top on to make my birthday dinner the frosting of the cake melted in a few patches. When I ended up seeing my cake I didn't complain that the art was "ruined" I was like AWESOME I LOVE I SPY AND CAKE.To this day it's a cute story I joke about with my mom when I'm giving her crap as a joke.

Willis has twins!

The cake incident happened sometime in the mid-to-late-990s, during the original run of Roomies.

>I gratuitously put myself in my own comic on April 3 for my nineteenth birthday, as you do. Apparently I’m Alex’s roommate! And there’s some sort of passive-aggressive plea for romantic companionship.

>True story: My awesome and thoughtful mom sent me a birthday cake on my birthday. Like, I went down to the lobby to pick up my mail and there was a damn birthday cake waiting for me behind the desk. She’d probably ordered it over the phone from back home. And my mom had asked them to, from what I gathered, take whatever Roomies! strip had printed in the newspaper and place it on top of the cake. And of course it was this one.

>Meaning I ate birthday cake alone in the dark in my room that night. A birthday cake with an image of myself on it talking about being so, so alone.

>This was the year I probably should have been on antidepressants.

So it was totally benign, and Willis wasn't nearly as whiny about it as I remember. I can't remember precise examples beyond that one.
