billie is an alcoholic and she will die alone and unloved.
Normally I just ignore these posts, but now I can’t decide if this is ironic or just sad.
Or unintentionally funny, that works too.
Wow, this avatar selection was absolutely perfect!
At least it’ll happen in a comic and the readers will cry for her.
I love how they all are assuming she’ll be super religious.
Which, of course, I heavily doubt DoA-Sal will be.
Of course, he could play it straight, just to mess with everyone expecting old angry-at-the-world Sal
Can’t she be both?
she was best freinds in hs w/ roomies sara
Mmm, mmm, MMM! Schoolgirl uniforms! Can’t see the plaid skirts…
The lack of skirts disturbs me….
They make hangers that can hold the skirt underneath the shirt, assuming the skirt isn’t super long.
Also, mostly skirts go in drawers. Besides the skirts are wearable, she’s probably walking around in a skirt and a cami. And no Catholic schoolgirl skirt STAYS long.
As a former Catholic school girl let me say pleated skirts pretty much need to be hung, unless you really love ironing.
IIRC, Avalon’s uniform does feature pleated skirts.
You’re gonna get a lot of arguments on the internets about not liking schoolgirl outfits without skirts.
Dudes does nobody recognize a Star Wars reference on the internet anymore?
You lack of vison disturbs me.
*Force chokes all the above people*
*faith
No its vision because they didn’t see the Star Wars reference. And thus they had no vision.
Did they send her to the Catholics or the Canadians?
I was about to ask the same thing myself…
Great Mikes think alike, apparently.
That was cheesy and you’re a bad person for it, that’s why we love you
Are those those Avalon High uniforms?
With your icon, somehow I’m expecting you to say something about kinky roleplay.
Are those kinky roleplaying uniforms?
Dang it, you’re no longer Joe so my comment makes little sense. Ah well. I used to be Sarah and love Leslie as a character. I’m curious as to what will happen with regards her as a teacher.
Are those outfits a callout to Avalon, by any chance? I know It’s Walky did a crossover of sorts with Avalon, back in the day…
Well I was going to post RETRIBUTION! for the lack of Sal, but she appears to be appearing soon so I guess I can wait till tomarrow before I exact my revenge.
Sal was mentioned already when Walky and Billie were heading for registration. Since she and Walky are twins she would show up eventualy even if only to visit from another school. (but Willis is not that cruel. Or is he?????)
Yes, but I wanted to see her TODAY. But I am willing to wait one more day before seaking RETRIBUTION! By of couse stealing a pony and brushing its fur… Then pooping on someone’s lawn.
I believe you mean “seeking” not “seaking” One is a word, the other is a Pokemon.
I curse the lack of edit button and also the fact that apparently my miscrosoft word thinks Seaking is a real word…
Puts me in mind of those cartoon characters who only ever wear one set of clothes.
I was about to say Willis really needs to break from the Shortpacked green, but then I see the Avalon reference.
Unless in this universe, Galasso’s master plan involves schools and not toy stores.
Galasso is a preist now preachig the wood so he can gather souls to power his humgonus mech to take over the world! … I mean so they can go to Heaven and be at happy! Yea… happy…
errrr word* stupid lack of edit button…
Yeah, Joe’s the one preaching the wood.
“Catholic school? Naaah, Ah was ahn this exchange program t’ Canada. Them folks are weird: there was this li’l blonde who wanted to be a shrink e’en though she was about three hogs short of a race if you know what I mean, a damn ninja kept trying to be class president, and that one Scottish girl just caused a whole mess o’ drama in the last couple years with what y’ might call an ‘equilateral love triangle’… and lemme tell yer, that last year… it just seemed to drag… on… FOREVER.”
…yes, Sal would have a Southern accent if she weren’t raised by the Walters. Even if she went to school in Canada. In fact, she would sound just like a guy from New England trying to transcribe Granny Clampett.
Either Sal’s skirts/pants/shorts are behind that row of shirts and they have huge closets, or Sal has some really short skirts.
Best way I’ve ever seen to start a comic strip, lul.
What on earth about that outfit is Canadian? And if you want to hear BAD accents… Try talking to a Newfoundlander… They have their own friggin’ language. Its not even the accent so much as the phrases… My old neighbor used this one all the time…
“Stay where ya at, I’ll come where ya to.” Took me forever to figure out what the hell she meant…
It’s a reference to a webcomic called Avalon, which took place in a Canadian high school. It’s not even the first time Willis has referenced it: a significant portion of the genderbending arc in IW! took place there, starting with this strip
This is Canadian about it:

Don’t you mean aboot it?
You’re missing an injoke.
Look up avalonhigh.com.
See, this is what happens when the comments with links in them need to go through moderation before they show up. I suppose it’s better than getting flooded by spambots, though.
This.
You need to know that there used to be a large overlap of the fanbases of Avalon and It’s Walky.
Quite large.
I’m giddy.
Ah man, how did I miss this originally.
The real shocker comes when she’s a doing the horizontal tango in the bathroom with Joe.
Alright, where the faaaceee is Sal? Is she going to climb through the window?
I’m amazed the door is still intact.
I found out about this comic through something positive and already loving it. thanks
<— Quivers in anticipation
I think the ultimate DAMN YOU WILLIS at this point will be if Sal never actually makes an appearance. You’ll see signs she’s around. People will mention talking to her or things she’s said.
BUT SHE WILL NEVER APPEAR IN THE COMIC.
Don’t suggest stuff like that. That would be horrible.
We may have to erase you from time if thsi happens now you know…
Come to think of it, nobody has gotten a Sal avatar yet. Despite both Dina and Mike making regular appearances without yet appearing on the cast page.
You could be on to something.
There are bunches of avatars I haven’t uploaded yet since the characters have yet to appear.
Wait, you mean there’s gonna be Sal avatars?! That almost makes me want to give up my Osaka avatar. Almost.
That would be truly awesome. A higher form of Art if ever there was one.
I’m intensely curious to see what Sal will be like. Remember, she didn’t have the upbringing she did in the other universe, so her personality & history could be anyone’s guess.
Plus her having a possibly more stable upbringing means that she’s not going anywhere… so if Billie does try to get together with Danny then she’s going to have some extremely stiff competition. Jason will as well since now she’ll be around Danny & won’t have to keep running away from him.
It should be remembered that people tend to get sent away for good reasons. Especially when their twin isn’t.
She might very well be a spiteful person in this continuity who was a trouble maker and was sent away to learn discipline. Instead she found religion.
Not meant as a jab at any religion, just those people who fall into the extremes.
She could also be a lot closer to her personality before joining SEMME. Sort of mellow, prone to running away.
except that in DoAverse, Danny’s never been with Sal in the first place. His highschool girlfriend here is Dorothy, who seems to be actively trying to get rid of him. For there to be an issue with Sal and Billie, Sal will have to come in and hook up with Danny before Billie can.
If either. Not every universe in the multiverse has to hinge on whether Danny ends up with Billie or Sal. Heck, we might end up with totally original pairings that were never possible in the It’s Walky, Roomies, and Shortpacked.
I’m disappointed by the low FAAAAAACE potential in this strip.
I managed to get a Faaaaceeeee in.
Maybe Sal is a Multiversal Singularity. She just got confused on which universe she was supposed to be starting school in.
Omg, it’s coming! I can hardly wait! I’m shivering with antici……
Say it!
….pation.
My gravatar expresses exactly how I feel about this thread.
Man, I need to go watch RHPS again.
David, Josh is gone sweetie. He’s not coming back. I know it’s hard, but you’re going to have to accept it.
Would like like some cookies and milk?
;_;
Am I the only one terribly curious what DoA will do to the walkypedia? Will everyone have two summary entries now? And what about those “Date of Birth” entries, since unless everyone is entering college in their early thirties, they’re a decade off?
*sigh*
I guess I’m the only one who thinks billie’s shirt would’ve been much better as either “69” or “86”. Of course, since I don’t tend to follow sports, I have no idea what significance 97 would have, other than 1997, the year of the roomie.
So Sal went to Canada?
Impressive bit of foreshadowing, this.
