    Little do they know that Walky is just using nervousness as a cover for his insatiable hunger for paper. He craves it oh so dearly, but they would never approve if they knew.

            Yeah… I figured he was a webcomic author alright. But it’s funnier (in my head, at the very least — and what else is important?) if I view “protagonist” as a euphemism.

    I just thought about this for the first time. Walky got through high school without ever having a crush? Or this is just dramatically more… crushy than ever before?

      He’s just socially inept. Others would handle it better, but others are not walky. His panic/nervousness comes from the fact that he simply does not have the tools at his disposal to deal with this situation.

    Is this walkeyverse completely devoid of Sci-fi influences? Cause I’m thinking she is an alien and having an effect (affect?) on him, to go from fairly well adjusted college student to 5 year old without the aid of alcohol, there is something about Dorothy.

      Not really. Before it was deemed as a term for tackling/hugging people by crazy anime people, it was used as a term to indicate eating something whole. It’s a lot less common than the other one now, but back in the day I saw it a lot.

      If Willis doesn’t tag her, some fanatic or someone who’s only goal is to point out flaws will start commenting about it, so it’s just easier to lable her and not have to deal with the people. Or he just likes tagging everything. Whichever or.
