      Holy crap, they DID end this strip by all looking to one side.
      I mean, I know not all QC strip does that, but many of them do, and when I finally noticed it, it creeped me out for some reason. It’s like the characters know something horrible that’s about to happen to you, but they’re not going to tell you, no, they want to see you suffer…
      … Wait, that might just be schizophrenia…

      The joke is “butts disease” sounds funny. It’s the reason why I used it. That I also used it in a QC guest strip didn’t feature prominently in my mind.

      If other people who are not me agree that “butts disease” sounds funny, then they “understand the joke.”

      Dear Walky:
      The problem is follows the word ‘problem’ in your sentence. Without it, the structure of his sentence allows for the desired meaning.

      Now that Walky knows what’s the problem is, he should be able to ask what the problem is with greater success.

      I really like this. Sarah, secretly adoring his care free spirit, appears to merely tolerate his zany expressions of love that prove not everyone will hates her for snitching on a roommate that threated her life’s goals. Walky can’t believe someone so serious would stick by him as he tries to extend is childhood into perpetuity.

      And they both lack a filter between brain and mouth, which could combine to produce heckling that would make Statler and Waldorf proud.

    I’m kinda disappointed anybody pointed out the whole “what’s the problem is” thing. People accidentally slip up their grammar all the time in real life, and seeing that occasionally in a webcomic might make it more relatable. You know, as long as it isn’t entirely littered with spelling and grammar mistakes. And if anybody were to make a grammar slip up (accidentally or otherwise), I think Walky is a prime contender. You know, ’cause of him bein’ a doorwaytroll an’ all.

    I wonder what Walky’s response to what happened to Joyce’ll be. I mean, I know that he probably won’t make fun of her for what happened (even he isn’t that stupid or cruel), but the situation does seem to be a bit more adult than he’s used to thus far.

    Going from his PJeans Quest to a semi-friend’s account of assault and near daterape’ll cause some kind of mental whiplash.

    Okay, yes, Butts Disease is funny. But I’m more curious about Dorothy’s look in panel 3. She’s not looking anyone in the eye – why is that? Does she really not consider him a friend, and she’s just being nice, or is this just the guilt about last night?

      I think more along the lines of she’s starting do develop a major crush on Walky, and is upset because she can only admit to him being a friend (I also think some funky things happend after the Monkey Master porn, but that’s beside the point). I also like to think that Walky is going to school to become a doctor in this universe, but maybe I’m reading too much into it, and crediting David Willis on more foreshadowing than he’s capable of…. Either way, good job Willis.
