      Now you must double first on both DoA and SP! in one night.

      Only then will you get to wear the purple velvet hat of a double firster.

    SAL! Thank God, I thought people might be right that Willis was going to make her that character everyone talked about but never showed up herself. … Wait, is this Sal an extrovert that WANTS attention? :O

      Someone, Sal always wanted attention. In It’s Walky!, there were a bunch of flashback strips about Sal in high school. She was definitely extroverted! Granted, it was all an act to make friends, but she’ll probably do it again here.

        Because Sal’s prepared for everything, and motorcycles are the only way to go.

          Were the main Walkyverse set a few years later, I could see some of the aliens hatching a plan involving cardgames on motorcycles.

          ….and god help me, I’m imagining a crossover fanfic involving Ultra-Car turbo-dueling. Clearly seppuku is the only avenue remaining to cleanse my dorkishness.

        Well, if you think about it a normal perso can’t really go through a normal window. So she uses the motorcycle to go in front of her body so she doesn’t get glass cut death.

        Yeah, but if never does anything but stand in the background, after a while, he won’t be that haunting anymore. You know, like looking at Joan Rivers. Sure, it’s unsettling at first, but after a while you get used to it. I don’t want to become desensitized to Mike.

    I just realized that if Sal and Mike had hooked up in Its Walky, they would have had the most terrifying children on the planet. I mean seriously, can you imagine Sal and Mike procreating with each other?

    Now I am terrified that Willis is preparing a Sal-Mike relationship, which will just terrify half of the other characters in this strip.

      Guys, catholic schools, especially the ones that you might get sent to as a female version of a military academy, actually encourage rebellion, not the other way around. Uniforms mean their clothes are that much more outre on the weekends, and they devote extreme amounts of time to making the uniforms look sexy. Heavy punishment for cussing means they swear like sailors, way worse than the public school kids.
      Just to point out that repression intensifies rebellion. All-girls catholic school returned a couple pairs of boxers to the all-boys catholic school by announcing for the entire hotel to hear that the guys should come to the podium and pick them up.

      Thats awesome, and exactly what Willis wanted.

      He wanted this to be a fresh start: not seen as a remix of Roomies (I noticed someone gave him crap a few strips back in the comments).

      I began reading Roomies!, Its Walky! Shortpacked, and Joyce and Walky! after I began reading Dumbing of age because I was curious to see his other works : )

    Hey, Willis, one problem.

    As a biker myself, I can tell you– there is NO way Sal’s fabulous hair would fit under a helmet. Not if the helmet fits properly.
