Toilet paper thumb

Characters: Danny Wilcox, Joe Rosenthal
Location: Danny and Joe's dorm room
“Roomies!: All IDS product placement, all the time.”
“Also comics about wiping your ass.”
Strangely enough(?), at first glance I thought Danno was on the loo himself.
Yay recurring nightmares about pooping in public =p
Still better than some of my roommate conversations.
Butts Disease: Learn the Symptoms
This isn’t how I wipe. Is that how it works?
I can’t even comprehend how he wipes that way. Index and middle finger are longer and more natural to me. (Ick. Why am I even talking about this?)
You’re not alone. I always thought, “That’s not how I do it” when I read this strip too.
Because it is a natural topic to come up when the subject matter in the comic is this. Also I’m a personal fan of the Arwald method of wiping, although I have at times dabbled in the Vagrant method……………….
(I have no idea what I’m talking about.)
See, this really works the same way as a firing squad, where one shooter always has a gun loaded with blanks.
The key is to wad up the toilet paper and apply even pressure with all fingers – that way each finger has plausible deniability of being the one that actually brushes the butthole.
No lie, this comic is bringing up unsettling questions for me.
Poop jokes are always funny. You could do this exact same joke in DoA in 2013 and it would be funny.
Poop jokes are eternal.
There’s even one in the Bible: Judges 3:18-22.
Which, I’m sure, was why young, devout Willis was ok with doing this sort of humour. Yep yep.
You know this is the 90s because Danny is always reading this HUUUUUGE GIGANTIC paper!
I mean, you could have people reading newspapers now too, but it’d be like, half that size.
Depends where you live. Some areas still have a full sized classic newspaper format, some are more like oversize magazines on cheaper paper.
Why did Danny even let it get to that point?
Why is this a strip? Oh god, why?
Because Willis loves poop jokes. He started DoA with one, after all.
So I wonder how many people TRIED to wipe like this after reading this strip. Hmm. Nobody?
Umm, yeah, me neither.
Who takes wiping advice from a webcomic?
I was going to make a ‘only people who are sleeping’ or a ‘only people who are tripping’, but I can’t find a format that’ll make it funny. Oh, wait. I think I might have killed it. Yep, that’s it. It’s dead. Damn it, I keep killing jokes. And the police have apparently been given a picture of me so they can turn me away if I give myself up at the police station.
Why god, why…
