Let’s go out to the lobby.

Sometimes I’ll single individual strips out as a Shortpacked! strip, or a Roomies! strip, or what have you.
This is a Dumbing of Age strip.
In Dumbing of Age strips, I imbue a character with my own attributes and just friggin’ drag them.

Damn Dina, where did you get the idea that people will somehow like you without having ever talked to you before?
It’s less that and more a fear-to-the-point-of-non-optionality of talking to someone and having it wind up they DON’T like you, y’know?
And then my perspective would just be “what, just walk up to a stranger and start talking? Who the heck does that? That’d be so creepy!”
I’m with Dina and David on this one. How the hell do you make friends if you don’t know who your friends are?
So, what’s a typical Shortpacked! strip like, DW?
As you can tell by this chart, this strip’s Faz content is much too low for it to qualify as a Shortpacked strip.
Pop culture references.
Go talk to Beef, Dina, he could use a friend and would probably enjoy ragging on Walky with you.
(By which I mean enjoy listening if you felt like ragging on Walky, of course)
Damn it, Dina! Stop making me want to hug you!
I didn’t notice when I read this strip before, but it’s the middle of night and when I fall back to sleep I’ll have that song, and dancing, marching, anthropomorphized soda cups and popcorn tubs and hot dogs invading my dreams.
It’s…actually a major upgrade from my dreams as of late.
Not just you…I’ve been humming that tune since seeing the twitter announcement that this strip was up…
how come nobody here’s said “to have ourselves a treat”
so disappointed in you all
Both Kamino Neko and myself have remarked directly to the jingle in question.
I was unaware that in this round of the quiz we were supposed to be singing the next line of the song. I shall try harder next time.
Too obvious, you should know your audience is better than that.
Ouch. I can relate, Dina.
a neurotypical in college once tried giving me socializing advice “just be yourself” because that’s literally all he had to do. he had no idea how easy he had it. as if people who aren’t good at socializing were just being that way from some sort of antisocial training. like your neurotypical experiences aren’t universal, alex.
…yeah this one hits me pretty hard
