Ookay...

Looks like we're about to get Becky looking for advice on a lesbian affair.
(Maybe the "longing" for Joyce and the overcompensating for Dina... Or maybe she did the hanky-panky and felt bad afterwards...)

Would make an interesting story... but to bring that in NOW???
As unlikely as Ben's suggestion is, I'm hoping it's true... (it might not *ring* true that she's gone there for that reason, but commme onnnn...!!!)

Billie and Walky were good friends until high school, obviously they had something in common.

Billie's drunken car wreck was mentioned before a long time ago but I don't remember the bit about hurting her friend.

Yea, they never mentioned she was in the car with Billie. That information definitely adds more weight to how she reacted when meeting Billie again.

Fuck. I completely forgot about that. August 2014 feels like a lifetime ago.

Regarding today's, of course the only sauce Joyce likes is the one I hate most.

My Latina wife uses LOTS of mayonesa; my white ass tolerates it on sandwiches or elote (or "loaded corn-on-the-cob" as some white people are calling it).

We both avoid ketchup. I don't think there's even a bottle of it here at home.

I still think we're not going to find out anything until he fails to show up for their calculus midterm tomorrow (in comic time).

Or maybe he shows up to the calc midterm with a cast on his leg or something. But whatever it is, we're not finding out until then.

Looks like you called it, but I'm confused about how he put it: "My church wants to get Becky's dad out on bail"? I thought he was there when Blaine came in and offered to pay in full? I thought he would be well aware that Ross is already out?

IIRC he was not there, nor would I have expected him to be. The Ross situation seems to be one on which the Brown family is quite strongly divided.

I don't think that it was necessary to show Carol's face. I'm sure if we could, it would be as disturbing as the face of a suicide bomber in the last few seconds before their bomb went off: A smile; bliss. The complete certainty of imminent sainthood and the sight of paradise. The face of someone who feels nothing but hate for others and is sure that God is patting her on the back and urging her on.

The reason why Willis not showing her face, IMO, is to emphasise the fact that she's become a stranger to Joyce. She's coming to realise that she doesn't know her mother; probably has never known her and only can perceive this terrible stranger breathing threats at her and those whom she loves.

People have long suspected that Amber's dark side (aka 'Red Amber') is a distinct DID alter in her fractured psyche. I've been unsure but I'm pretty sure that ghost!Mike is that part of her's face going forwards. I'm wondering if we're going to increasingly see Amber having to deal with an 'angel' (Amazi-Girl) and a 'devil' (Mike) on her shoulders and giving her conflicting advice that only she can hear.

Poor kid.

Considering that Amber and Amazing Girl are no longer sharing memories and that the character tags for them on the comics are mutually exclusive, I'd say the DID thing is pretty clear bu this point. They may not have started as distinct alters, but they have developed into them as her trauma gets more severe.

Basically, yes. My theory is that he's a memory-sharing DID alter that appears as a hallucination. Whether he'll ultimately start having independent incarnation (controlling Amber's body when she or Amazi-Girl are unconscious) remains to be seen.

He's certainly not real though. He looks like a 2D projection onto the scene - There's no shading or sense of depth to him at all.

Plot twist, she's not imagining it, Mike has the power to project into her mind somehow. Almost certainly not, but hey, interpretations are valid until they're proven wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OKay...

It's still not helping us with the whole "WTF HAPPENED!?", but there seems to be too much of "Mike himself"'s thought processes here for Amber to 'know' and thus project onto Mike's avatar... in her mind.

New Twist! Mike never existed...
It was ALWAYS Amber!

The Mike projection didn't say anything that Amber wouldn't know. In fact, it didn't reveal any information at all. It's just an aspect of subconscious trying to relieve her guilt to the point that she can look at that memory. It's not Mike's thought process at all, it's the part of her mind that knows she's not as worthless as the rest of her tells her she is.

Hey, just to let you know that David Willis posted a trigger warning for the current chapter of Dumbing of Age running from 3/16 to 6/24/2020:

Quote
The current storyline which begins today, “When It Crumbles,” is sort of a… season finale, in terms of stakes?  It’s the end of Year Ten!  Stuff is gonna happen!  Sometimes scary stuff!  I mean, it’s still Dumbing of Age, so we’re not gonna go full thrasher film or anything, but there will be Sustained Sense Of Danger.  More danger than usually allotted.  Just giving you all a heads up, in case you want to bow out and come back June 23 when the storyline ends so you can read it at your own pace.  Or nope out!  Your choice, no judgment.

yeah yeah i know this is the worst timing, re: social distancing, but

So, I wonder how many people are involved in this scheme. Because The Toe and that other guy can't kidnap that many people at once while working alone.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Joyce's mom involved.

That Other Guy has mob connections - I believe that's the implication behind "could end his life with a phone call."

Calling it now: Amber comes back with Sal and maybe Asher (because he's feeling guilty and thinks that he needs to find redemption by fighting on the side of light for once). Because Sal isn't stupid, the campus cops are also on the way and Robin is calling out the county and state cops too.

Prediction 2: During the resulting attempted cinematic rescue, Amber and Amazi-Girl keep on swapping over at critical moments.
