Avast, mateys! Hoist the sails! This ship is catchin’ some wind! Billie totally wants to take care of Walky! She cares.
Also Walky’s bachelor future sounds awesome. Wonder how my boyfriend would feel if I dumped him for a house with a waterslide and a ball pit. I…I will keep my brand-name soap though.
And thus the spell is broken. A shame, since Walky was almost being a normal human being. That’s not quite his underwear, though, unless he sleeps in long underwear.
As awesome as Amber is, I’d have placed Roz, if anyone, as Fata Morgana, assuming we’re thinking the same Fata Morgana. No one else is as openly manipulative as Roz is, and with her job, you can’t deny its fitting.
So it’ll run me $3k or so to get 15k balls to fill one of my 10×10 ft. bedrooms with balls. Sweet. It’ll probably cost less if I can swing a bulk discount. With quantities like that, you should be able to haggle down the price.
There are a couple other things you’ll need, though. One is the infant doorway fence to keep all the balls from spilling out. The other you’ll have to hack: you’ll need a movable, round fence (chicken wire?) that’s about 3-4 feet across and at least a foot higher than the average ball depth. If you lose something in the balls, you’re going to have to work the fence down towards the bottom, and toss the balls from inside the fence to outside to dig your way back to the floor. The fence needs to be pretty rigid.
Cleaning is going to be a royal pain, and I hope you don’t have pets. You could lose cats in there. Roaches are going to love it.
Well, she’s been drawn plenty since Willis’ major art upgrade in the middle of IW, both with and without glasses, but that was after she got her hair cut after getting out of college. Hotter long hair + glasses + upgraded art = sudden peverse sexual lust.
Walky is going to turn out to be asexual, at least in sexual preference, in this universe for two reasons: 1) He showed no interest in Dorothy until she mentioned Dexter & MM, so the attraction may not necessarily be physical. 2) Willis is writing.
Not saying Walky/whoever can’t happen, just saying he may have no sexual turn-ons to speak of.
… why would Walky have no sex life because Willis is writing? Have you _read_ It’s Walky? David’s all over Walky’s relationships like peanut butter on a mousetrap.
I’ve read It’s Walky three times now. Somewhere in the back of my sleep-deprived mind I was thinking of Ethan and Robin “becoming”, for a relative definition of the word, gay, and of Willis saying that in simplest terms he made them so in order to avoid repeating plots. So I just sort of figured, y’know, asexuality is a sexual preference that hasn’t popped up in Willis’s writing yet, and it’d be a way to mix things up.
I dunno. At 18, immaturity is all about making light of sex, and Walky doesn’t like girls yet and yet likes to act immature. And, as I mentioned, lack of sex life does not automatically mean lack of romantic life.
Did I mention I had slept on average four hours a night for four straight days when I wrote that? No? Because it should clear up anything that still doesn’t make sense about my argument, and I’ll admit it probably isn’t a very good one. But I feel like less of an idiot trying to justify it.
When I said he doesn’t like girls, I meant he says he doesn’t like girls. But because I admitted my argument was flimsy it doesn’t make a difference. Still, didn’t want to be misinterpreted.
Ah. Walky likes girl, but he hates that he likes girls. I had a phase like that. He never had anything in common with the girls he knew. The women who care in his life all seem to want to make him “grow up” faster than he’s willing to. Or at least that’s how it feels for him. Walky’s clinging to his youth. He denies his urges. And then meets Dorothy.
Walky probably didn’t even glanced at Dorothy until he heard that she liked his favorite cartoon. Reality shatters.
The next day, though, Walky’s hormones are back to normal, and he had rationalize the whole thing, remembering how he “doesn’t even like girl, it was a fluke, etc.” He’s not trying to fool Billie as much as himself.
Also, who actually buys things at K-Mart? I point them out to my older son as relics of a lost age, and then make obscure references to”blue light specials” that he will never, ever understand.
hmm… adamantly dislikes girls, loves toys, wants to live in a house with a water slide and ball put… walkyxethan anyone? Or am I just living in a fantasy world?
fantasy world, definitely; if walky were gay, he’d be pretending to like girls instead of the other way around.
Loading ...
I want a water slide house! Ball pits are also fun.
And Billie totally wants him. Tim to get to fic writing.
Challenge accepted. I’ll state when I have it done.
WOOTEN has a Slide!!! From Adventures in Odyssey! Christian Radio Drama.
Who’s Tim? Also, I’m on it!

I’m curious where the traffic came from? theres never been this much that both SP and DoA crashed :OOOO
i want his future house.
i’m gonna get a ballpit in my own (future) house. every time i go in it i will yell BAZINGA!!
Thank you Sheldon.
SO zazzy
David, you can probably have all those things in your future house… except the soap. Maggie probably wouldn’t be cool with Kmart soap.
There’s nothing wrong with kmart soap.
Except everything.
It’s probably not doing your skin any favors, but it’ll kill germs.
David doesn’t shop at Kmart of his own volition.
I can’t wait to have my own house, so that I can convert one room into a ball pit.
YES. Randomly assigned amber avatar ftw.
As awesome as Amber is, I’d have placed Roz, if anyone, as Fata Morgana, assuming we’re thinking the same Fata Morgana. No one else is as openly manipulative as Roz is, and with her job, you can’t deny its fitting.
Judging by that last panel, I’d say that Billie just realized what a bad idea it is to come into physical contact with Walkie.
As if to say, “I just washed these hands!”
Or “I feel unclean.”
I’ll just leave this here… http://www.chiliahedron.com/ballroom/
OH MY GOD.
That’s… that’s perfect. BUT EXPENSIVE.

Ball pits are fun!
Walky’s fave movie must be Blank Check…..
It’s not yours?
Ha ha. I love how in the last panel Billie has the “Oh my god… and I touched him!”look on her face
Best. Part.
why is billie hot in this universe, but gets no real screen time, its all, joyce and walky!! damit. i want hot billie in color!!!
Billie was always hot in Walkyverse, because once she started putting on weight she got glasses. *drool*
I thought it was more “billie was always hot but David can draw now.”
Well, she’s been drawn plenty since Willis’ major art upgrade in the middle of IW, both with and without glasses, but that was after she got her hair cut after getting out of college. Hotter long hair + glasses + upgraded art = sudden peverse sexual lust.
She got plenty of time in Roomies! though.
It’s just, as Pandaburn said, that Willis can actually draw now.
Firstly: Is the poll even necessary? Mike will win forever and ever.
Mike and Sal should start dating, BTW.
Secondly: Wow that boy is a terrible actor/liar..
Dina’s very close, which is amazing for someone who’s appeared in far less strips.
Are you sure? She could be in almost any strip, hiding behind the door.
Walky is going to turn out to be asexual, at least in sexual preference, in this universe for two reasons: 1) He showed no interest in Dorothy until she mentioned Dexter & MM, so the attraction may not necessarily be physical. 2) Willis is writing.
Not saying Walky/whoever can’t happen, just saying he may have no sexual turn-ons to speak of.
Also, don’t mistake my definitiveness for arrogance. This is merely a wild guess, although one I’d kind of like to see happen.
Just means he’ll be getting together with a fanboy/girl. Or both. Actually, I would like to see that. XD
Ghostwritten by T Campbell?
I appreciate you.
… why would Walky have no sex life because Willis is writing? Have you _read_ It’s Walky? David’s all over Walky’s relationships like peanut butter on a mousetrap.
Would the mice in this simile be the readers?
Maybe. I just have mice on my mind. We have a mouse issue right now.

I got two hours of sleep last night. Yeah.
When I said he doesn’t like girls, I meant he says he doesn’t like girls. But because I admitted my argument was flimsy it doesn’t make a difference. Still, didn’t want to be misinterpreted.
I just noticed that he’s wearing a head alien shirt
K-mart soap? That’s a rather specific example of guilt-tripping.
I’m making a ballpit at my grandma’s for myself and my cousins. She already said “Go for it” so it’s definitely being planned out.
Billie looked at her hands, confused.
“Stigmata?” she wondered aloud. “How can this be?”
But our lord and saviour was lost in the private ball pit of his mind, and did not answer.
Ah. Walky likes girl, but he hates that he likes girls. I had a phase like that. He never had anything in common with the girls he knew. The women who care in his life all seem to want to make him “grow up” faster than he’s willing to. Or at least that’s how it feels for him. Walky’s clinging to his youth. He denies his urges.

Walky probably didn’t even glanced at Dorothy until he heard that she liked his favorite cartoon. Reality shatters.
The next day, though, Walky’s hormones are back to normal, and he had rationalize the whole thing, remembering how he “doesn’t even like girl, it was a fluke, etc.” He’s not trying to fool Billie as much as himself.
Just like Billie is trying to fool herself that she doesn’t enjoy Walky’s company… she sure isn’t fooling anybody else :p
I don’t have anything to say here. I just wanted to make a string of Dorothy icons.
Billie’s thoughts in the last panel:
“Must clean stupidity off my hands!”
Or:
“Must clean K-Mart soap off my hands!”
‘Must clean crap LEFT BY K-Mart soap off my hands.’
Nah, if Billie isn’t imagining strangling Walky in panel 4 I’ll eat my many hats.
If you ate your many hats, would you be full to the brim?
I see what you did there
Billie’s hands now smell like Nachitos.
Also, who actually buys things at K-Mart? I point them out to my older son as relics of a lost age, and then make obscure references to”blue light specials” that he will never, ever understand.
I can totally believe that. If Walky eats like he did in IW, he’s probably got something similar to Robin and Skittles by now.
I haven’t seen a K-Mart since they dissapeared from Canada :p
hmm… adamantly dislikes girls, loves toys, wants to live in a house with a water slide and ball put… walkyxethan anyone? Or am I just living in a fantasy world?
fantasy world, definitely; if walky were gay, he’d be pretending to like girls instead of the other way around.
Actually, that’s not a far off idea, certainly Ethan will take one look at Walky’s lifestyle choices and think it was his lucky day.
My first thought at reading the first panel was “That wasn’t so bad.” from Billie.
My Dream!!
I like this Walky. He’s a man’s man.
Ballpit and waterslide combo? Sounds jolly dangerous!
