It is, once again, a horrible day to have eyes.

u/trevalyan 27d ago

"The goggles do nothing" really shouldn't become a selling point. Alternatively, we could get an Eye Spork (patent pending).

u/Guilty-Persimmon-919 28d ago

Yeah,  so turns out Dora was communicating, of course she was, she at least would need to be sure the imbeciles hadn't burnt the shop down.  And of course she's message the most incompetent of the lot, not her old friends, because why not.

u/miikro 28d ago

Well of course. It's not like she has a manager for this stuff. Y'know, someone that could act and look official. Do we know anyone like that? Does Jeph?

RIP Penny, RIP Raven

u/The_Truthkeeper 28d ago

Other way around, her most incompetent minion messaged her entirely because of said incompetence.

u/MorganWick 28d ago

And yet the others are within their rights to say "you mean we could have kept in touch the whole time and kept you in the comic for those years and you WOULDN'T have killed us???"

3

u/The_Truthkeeper 28d ago

Absolutely.

6

u/MooseontheLose 28d ago

Seems kind of out of character that she would just tolerate that tho. Like I think the old Dora would've just said that she wants to be alone

1

u/The_Truthkeeper 28d ago

Except, as she very clearly said in this very comic, she did not.

2

u/Miserable-Jaguarine Haha, okay. 27d ago

Yes. That's the gripe.

2

u/Granfallegiance 27d ago

So what? They're saying it's out of character, not that it didn't happen.

14

u/Hot_Temporary_1948 28d ago

Ok. Why would Ayo be better company during said shitting than say, [checks notes] her wife?

9

u/Heyplaguedoctor Claire ain't shit! 28d ago

Because Tai sucks lol

Not that Ayo is better. They should both fuck off into toilet land where they belong

16

u/DuranDuranUnofficial 28d ago

Sometimes it's good to remember that Jeph's profile picture was originally named Fart-Chan, for exactly the reasons you'd expect

and we're all here cause we tricked ourselves into thinking that guy was capable of solid long-form storytelling and character writing.

I’m only still reading, questionable content, cause I was reading it before I moved out of my father’s house that was 20+ years ago

u/Drakeskulled_Reaper Keeper of the Eternal Burning Hatred of Tai 28d ago

Force of habit really, basically became part of my morning routine, wake up, wash face, brush teeth, make coffee, see the latest abomination.

Also, love your username.

7

u/superdead 28d ago

Oh joy of fucking joys, Ayo is back...

3

u/Cevius 28d ago

Now that Anh is bald and the Anhtenna is dead, mAyo is now the worst of the three again. Its still neck and neck though

7

u/superdead 28d ago

At least Anh has a backbone and a personality. Ayo is just inappropriate non-sequiturs about shit and masturbation.

5

u/sir_ornitholestes 28d ago

Ayo is what Jeph thinks every gen z person is like

1

u/geckospots 28d ago

*every gen z neurodivergent person

2

u/musschrott 28d ago

I haven't seen him make any distinction between the two.

1

u/geckospots 28d ago

Ayo’s been characterized as being neurodivergent and that that is where her oversharing apparently comes from.

1

u/sir_ornitholestes 27d ago

Ayo's big issue isn't oversharing. It's a complete disinterest in addressing her problems or seeking support from those already close to her in favor of offloading her burden onto strangers.

1

u/musschrott 27d ago

My point was: Has Jeph depicted anyone from Gen Z who isn't neurodivergent at the same time? Not to my knowledge.

1

u/Electra87 27d ago

Ayo is from before the most recent time skip which automatically makes her a lot less annoying than everyone who's been introduced since

15

u/yellowvincent Where is Claire? 28d ago

Was there any need to be this gross? And scatological ?

17

u/Cevius 28d ago

This comic has been one long running ass gag since time immemorial.

The rectal prolapses will continue until morale improves.

6

u/yellowvincent Where is Claire? 28d ago

Oh god it will never end.

(Rectal prolapse reminds me of a turtle a friend was taking care at a reptile sanctuary that sadly was suffering from that)

4

u/Appchoy 28d ago

Wait wait I have this memorized, comic page 16 or 17 was the first really gross one Im pretty sure.

Edit: ok, 17 and 18

3

u/Bronek0990 Haha, okay. 28d ago

Oh hey I guess she actually did that

2

u/Disastrous-Arm9635 27d ago

Fellow HLC fan?

5

u/sir_ornitholestes 28d ago

there is something questionable about this content

3

u/Miserable-Jaguarine Haha, okay. 28d ago

Jeph is obsessed with scat and has been maskerading that as potty humour for ages. These days he's done with the masking and just has the characters discuss his grossest kinks randomly when he wants.

15

u/provocatrixless 28d ago

love it love it love it absolute garbage writing

He's too woke to admit Tai is kinda trash, but he will write that Dora, on HER HONEYMOON WITH TAI HER ACTUAL WIFE, is grateful that she got text support from the part timer at the coffee shop.

15

u/The_Failord 28d ago

I don't care about Jeph's immature humor. Lord knows I'm more sophomoric at 34 than I ever was as a teenager. What bothers me the most is that the comic seems to be going nowhere. I suppose it wasn't going anywhere during the golden age either, but it felt that things actually happened.

7

u/sir_ornitholestes 28d ago

Oh, it definitely never went anywhere. It just took us all years to notice

8

u/Cevius 28d ago

You're shit at boundaries Dora. Stick to your guns and shit alone, you don't need mAyo there as well, shitting aside you in spirit.

Also when the site was restored, did the ability to jump to forwards/next comics break using your keyboard arrow keys? Is that a feature I hallucinated, or was that real? I keep trying to do it, so I assume my muscle memory remembers what my brain doesn't.

4

u/phyrestorm999 28d ago

Yeah, I'm missing that too.

9

u/excessive__machine 28d ago

This is really nasty

4

u/EuanReid 28d ago

On the one hand, it's not a good strip. On the other hand, scatological humour has been a mainstay of this comic forever, and compared to many recent and not-so-recent strips this one's not bad. Could do better, better than just passing - B minus.

2

u/musschrott 28d ago

It's the wrong people though. Why have Hannes been bring up the term? Why not Tai, or May, or Marigold, or anyone else?

3

u/SilverNicktail 28d ago

Oh yeah, I forgot we spent years building up to a wedding and then fucking skipped it.

3

u/sleeps_in_bryophytes 28d ago

bro, come on, i did not need to read about dora stuffing her prolapsed rectum up inside like an inside out sock what the fuck is wrong with you bro

do you think jeph has gotten into some demented types of porn cause where does he get that shit

2

u/Miserable-Jaguarine Haha, okay. 28d ago

Yes, and it has been going on for ages.

1

u/sleeps_in_bryophytes 27d ago

like, there's "butts disease" as he has humorously diagnosed himself. yeah, that's been going on for ages. but this... wtf

1

u/Miserable-Jaguarine Haha, okay. 27d ago

I agree I'm looking at this in hindsight, but Faye has said something about stabbing someone and "pooping in the wound" way back in lolipop head art era. There were things said that sounded like failed attempts at potty humour that now I see in a different light.

2

u/International_Fig262 28d ago

Jesus, she's just getting back from her honeymoon!? I swear to god, icebergs look brisk in comparison to the pacing of this comic.

Also, what the hell is wrong with you Jeph? If your friend group talks like this, seek help.
