White dudes, Amiright?
*canned laugh track*
Hey. Get back in there and keep fighting. You have a golden opportunity to give your life for the greatest cause of all: punching posers.
Will laying down some sick burns about the inevitable ennui that accompanies the unexamined life before jumping out the fuckin' window.
Will used Analytical Deconstruction on Douchebags
The move was ineffective
Will fled the battle
jesus mer this hit some god damn deep rooted existential feels
There were a million ways I imagined this going. That wasn't one of them.
Well, if it wasn't settled for me before, this settles it. If anybody is doing better social commentary on the millenials than Meredith, I don't know about it: both in form – the build up to Will's grand put down in the previous strips, the diffusing of the moment by moving into satire, the dialog-free wide shot of the frat boys all looking at the self proclaimed white dude as his accidental point sinks in, and the diffusion of the seriousness implicit in THAT by moving into pure silly comedy – and content – with the best positioning in the world, it's still necessary that Will actually HAS a really devastating observation to make when the moment comes, and she delivers on that too. To be confronted with the prospect that you are not only not really living now, but that the ravages of time mean it's all DOWNHILL from here – ouch.
Heh heh heh heh!
I LOVE it how he got them into a Woody Allen-ish debate about "the knowledge", "the environment", and [cultural insights], so that he could turn the situation into something else. I love it!
Oh God, Tumblr is leaking.
As a white dude, I just want to say that not all white dudes are white dudes. But ugh, the white dude white dudes? Don't even get me started on them. (Don't worry, I'm allowed to say bad stuff about white dudes, because I'm a white dude.)
But are you a white dude white dude, or just a white dude? Because I could deal with a white dude.
But are you a transwhitedude? If not your oppression points are insignificant to comment on this topic.
"STOP THAT WHITE DUDE" (shouted by white dudes)
–needs to be a new reaction image right there–
for like everything.
mwahaha. How much I love Will. And this comic.
Yup, because the last thing you want to do after beating up the Weed Dealer because you don't want to Pay Him for your Drugs is cry social injustice.
I am so enraged, yet confused.
Reminds me of a tumblr post from a while back, "white people be like 'white people be like'"

That is all.
I expected this to be Yakety Sax but was disappointed.
I’m probably stupid, but arent they all white dudes? What am i missing, somebody tell me. (I seriously don’t get it.)
I can't wait till these guys realize that they are white dudes.
As a black dude…you guys are *weird*.
I definitely wasn't expecting that, but I'm loving it so damn much.
I'm sure there will be cops arriving soon, to check a "noise complaint" and possibly stuble upon something Will "left"
Run, Will! Run your ass off!!
Perfect escape! I hope he managed to snag some cash during all the brawling. Gotta get paid!
I know that's a table leg there, but I much prefer to see Will flipping them off down low as he heads for the window. Also thirded on loving the unexpected direction. Hope he's getting away with every ounce of weed in that backpack.
Oh goddamit, I was really really hoping that was an inverted flip-off.
??? Damn it feels good to be a white dude ?
Hoping Eve is passing outside the window as the mirror image of this sequence: http://www.octopuspie.com/2008-03-19/124-the-hips…
Will clearly has some Bugs Bunny DNA.
Weird observation: only 3 people in the entire party appear to have black (or at least dark) hair.
