Joyce is the only one ensured to survive a horror scenario. Sal might be the one who turns the tables on the chainsaw murderer but she’ll probably die in the “twist” ending where it turns out the bad guys not really dead.
Aww, Bloomington, summer 1979, waterslide parks every five miles in every direction. Back then you needed a rubber raft because those things would strip the flesh from your skeleton.
Oh hell yes, that’s a real thing! I’ve lived in Indiana since 1995 and every summer we see commercials for Indiana Beach and that damn crow in the old-timey bathing suit. This comic made me so, so very giddy.
Wait…Dorothy, Billie, Sal, Joyce, and Walky in swimsuits at a beach? Didn’t I see a piece of art from Willis depicting this? And didn’t I see someone alter said artwork so that all the girls’ breasts were showing? This all sounds verra familiar…
Oh, and they’ll have to bring Dina along. I believe she was in the picture too.
I could comment on the odds of what happens to be my random wallpaper for this 15 minute period… but it was what reminded me to check DoA and SP just now.
I say this is forshadowing. My prediction is that Joyce will be raped at the beach and get aids. Or at the very least, she will step on a spiky sea urchin. No matter which, the angst level will be the same.
I used to go to Indiana Beach every summer 😀 I still have a piggy bank with the logo on it. Fond memories of throwing candy at people from the skyline…
In Quebecstan, CÉGEPs start around the next-to-last or last week of august, while university initiations, and sometimes class, starts around the last week of august
He was a threat because they didn’t know he was. It wouldn’t be very much of a fight for him to take on this group directly. Sarah, Sal, and sober Joyce? I’d think any one of them could take him down; all three with Walky and Dorothy there? He’s a non-threat.
Loading ...
That sounds almost as bad as Raccoon AIDS
Raccoons RAPE PEOPLE?!?!?
I think it’s more so the exact opposite of that which is the source of the problem.
what’s truly shocking about this comment is how little surprise i could muster.
You’re right, i’m assuming too much…
Raccoons HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WITH HUMANS?!?!?!?
Wouldn’t it be more impressive if they used protection?
Heh… “tool” using mammals
Yeah but its bad form to assume the raccoons will bring the birth control. Both parties need to show a sense of responsibility.
Nope! Just Chuck Testa.
Exclamation point used in a sentence said by Chuck Testa?
Nope. It’s Chuck Testa.
No, that’s Dolphins.
It’s better than Butts Disease.
Good call Walky, Taids is a serious problem in this day and age.
So… would breast aids be Braids?
Or Baids, which is portentous seeing as we’re probably heading for a storyline where one or more character
. . .
bathes.
but… but… you get Band AIDS from healing stuff!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Beach episode? I’m guessing Joyce’s will be a 30s full body thing.
Dammit, you beat me to it.
Or Worthington’s Syndrome! D=
^THIS!^
Looks like there will be an increase in the fanservice quotient very soon.
But will it be enough? Stay tuned.
What are you saying? There can never be enough fan service!
Yes there can.
Ever heard of the webcomic Exposure?
God dammit! I just HAD to google Exposure and now it cannot be unseen!
Next time can you warn a guy?
…resisting the temptation to google Exposure…
Walky going with a bunch of girls to the beach. I see where this is going.
A horror movie.
Will Walky be the one to die first?
nah. he’s the comic relief.
So third or fourth i’m thinking. but only when it’s funny.
It could very well be Joe. The ones are planning a sexual encounter are the first to go.
But Billie’s the drunkard. She’s pretty high on the murder list.
It’s Sarah…simply for lack of a stereotypical black male…
…Curse you hollywood.
No, she gets shot by a deputy Sheriff at the end.
Ahhh…my mistake.
Still, curse you hollywood. I still haven’t forgiven them for Deep Blue Sea…Star wars Episode 3 maybe, but never deep blue sea…
I mean c’mon! Samuel L. WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS INSPIRING SPEECH!!!!!
No Forgiveness…ever. If only because they let the sharks share him…
What about Joyce? All she’d do is pray, no actual evasion or attacking.
Black Funny Dude Dies First
dammit, it was STRIKE, not just S.
HOW DARE YOU LINK TV TROPES??
“And I, for one, welcome our new
insectInternet overlords!”Joyce is the only one ensured to survive a horror scenario. Sal might be the one who turns the tables on the chainsaw murderer but she’ll probably die in the “twist” ending where it turns out the bad guys not really dead.
Anybody know the commercials with the cartoon crow? That feels like a real reference filtered through Walky’s brain.
Dunno. I’m in Illinois and we get a cartoon parrot.
Okay I found this:

Bingo.
OMG! Starswirl the bearded! oO
Oh, its just Twilight with her magic trick number 6 or 7.^g^
@Topic
Do we get the typical anime beach arc now? :3
Am I misunderstanding something, or are they advertising that their amusement park is as fun as a giant toilet?
Yup
Aww, Bloomington, summer 1979, waterslide parks every five miles in every direction. Back then you needed a rubber raft because those things would strip the flesh from your skeleton.
There’s more than corn in Indiana…
At Indiana Beaaaaach. Used to have a blast at Monticello…
I’ve never been, but when I was a little kid in Chicago in the 80s, I used to see commercials all the time.
Now that I live in Indiana, and I see the occasional ad for Indiana Beach, it’s amusing.
There’s Soy!
I grew up seeing that commercial all the time! I still think about that tagline sometimes… Willis, this reference made my morning. 🙂
What comes from being late. I grew up with those commercials. There’s more than corn in Indiana! At Indiana Beeeeach!
Oh hell yes, that’s a real thing! I’ve lived in Indiana since 1995 and every summer we see commercials for Indiana Beach and that damn crow in the old-timey bathing suit. This comic made me so, so very giddy.
Actually Billie, I don’t think those kind of cartoons are what Walky watches…
Don’t play footsies before marriage or else ya get the toe aids!
They’d better watch out for lake sharks.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_shark
Toe aids…hmm…
So basically its like the beach is raping your foot.
Toe AIDS only costs a leg to cure, one way or the other! >:D
But…but there’s more than corn in Indiannnnnna!
YAYYYYY
The straw hat. The red and white full-body swimsuit. Ahh, memories of youth…Damn I feel old, now.
…holes?
…to be “corned”?
The syringe to sand ratio is very important.
There are however a lot of fossils along the shore.
Nothing quite like seeing old half-naked people on the beach. 😛
Wait…Dorothy, Billie, Sal, Joyce, and Walky in swimsuits at a beach? Didn’t I see a piece of art from Willis depicting this? And didn’t I see someone alter said artwork so that all the girls’ breasts were showing? This all sounds verra familiar…
Oh, and they’ll have to bring Dina along. I believe she was in the picture too.
Wait, what!?
Ah yes. I did see this picture:
http://itswalky.deviantart.com/gallery/26929205#/d3bcfbr
You’ll have to find the defaced version on your own.
the defaced was not all that hard to find.
I never claimed it would be difficult; I just stated that I wasn’t going to find it for you.
And actually, there are defaced versions, with one version much more indisputably awesome than the rest. If you see it, you’ll know what I mean.
Sigh, I miss SMUT WITHOUT WARNING.
Why would someone remove the faces? Creepy.
I couldn’t find it.
Just remember the Rules of the Internet. One of them applies here.
Ah! Good old Rule 34.
I could comment on the odds of what happens to be my random wallpaper for this 15 minute period… but it was what reminded me to check DoA and SP just now.
Why are the mallards eyeing Walky’s feet hungrily?
“Everything’s fuckin’ cartoons with you!” is a GREAT expression!
I say this is forshadowing. My prediction is that Joyce will be raped at the beach and get aids. Or at the very least, she will step on a spiky sea urchin. No matter which, the angst level will be the same.
A freshwater sea urchin?
Sewer Urchin.
that has AIDS.
Given the current Indiana weather, I was confused for a few seconds until I remembered that in-story it’s still August last year.
I grew up going to the beach in October, but MD is probably milder than Indiana.
I don’t think I’d be exagerrating too much in calling central Indiana weather “wildly erratic.”
Sal and Walky seem very siblingy today.
They’ve catching up to do.
I love that Walky’s just sort there for this adventure.
Cartoon crow? Are there advertisements for Indiana lakes in Dumbo??
There’s more than COOOORRRRNN in INDIAAAANAA… at INNDDIIAAANNAAA BEEEEAAAAAACH!
why does your “Beach” sound like “Be-ya-tch” when i say it?
Then they drive four hours only to stand in a long line to get in XD
… hmm, what if a wild Scumbag Pastor’s Son appears?
A Wild Rapist Appears!
Sarah Uses Louisville Slugger!
It’s Super effective!
gotta catch ’em all,
GOTTA CATCH ’em ALL!!!
It’s your destiny…JusT LiKe ThE SoNg!
Joyce uses Glassed Attack!
Its heavily effective!
Amazi-Girl uses Capture!
Amazi-Girl misses!
Pokemon rap. It’s super effective.

OMG no
Holly Crap I no joke live about less than ten miles from that beach and worked there the last two summers.
No beach? It’s not that far to Indiana Dunes — about 3 hours from Indianapolis, 2 from Purdue.
It’s pretty far when you don’t have a car!
That sounds pretty far when you DO, too…
I used to go to Indiana Beach every summer 😀 I still have a piggy bank with the logo on it. Fond memories of throwing candy at people from the skyline…
Are Walky and Sal the only native Hoosiers here or do the others just not watch TV? Those Indiana Beach were kind of ubiquitous in my childhood.
(Wait, never mind. I keep forgetting that I’m now ten years older than the cast)
Isn’t it still, like September? I don’t think that’s the beach time of year in Indiana. But then again, it’s just a lake.
Y’know what they say. If you don’t like the weather in Indiana, wait five minutes.
It’s possibly still late August.
So they are in university in August, when do classes start anyway? Up here in northern Canadastan, they start in September.
Indiana University starts its fall semesters in late August.
Wow, sucks to be going to that school; up here, that is usually the best part of summer. Thanks for clarifying that.
In Quebecstan, CÉGEPs start around the next-to-last or last week of august, while university initiations, and sometimes class, starts around the last week of august
Well, as long as it’s not Butts Disease.
There really is more than just Corn in Indiana. There is also Soybeans.
And Racecars!
Yeah, have a feeling that Rapey Ryan’ll be there somehow.
So long as somebody has the foresight to bring a couple of cinder blocks and some rope along, everything should work out just fine.
He was a threat because they didn’t know he was. It wouldn’t be very much of a fight for him to take on this group directly. Sarah, Sal, and sober Joyce? I’d think any one of them could take him down; all three with Walky and Dorothy there? He’s a non-threat.
Is Sal going along? That’d be nice of her.
Also, used syringe beaches are very under-rated. You get a tan, a slight-high, AND a debilitating mystery drug addiction!
It’s fun for the whole family!
When I was a kid, we’d go to Fairfax Beach, it was such a dump, broken glass everywhere. But I was six, so I figured it was the best thing ever.
Aw, Sal and Walky getting along. It’s heartwarming.
Seems somehow familiar, doesn’t it?
http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000619.html
Best comic strip ever! It’s especially funny because I live in Colorado XD
For the longest time I was afraid to go to the lakes here as well, thinking I would get something from the sand. This concers my thoughts.
Dammit, now I have “THERE’S MORE THAN COOOOOORRRRN IN INDIANA” stuck in my head.
I hope they remember to bring sunscreen.
Coolest Fans reference ever. 😀
I don’t think it’s a Fans reference. It’s just a good question to ask about beaches.
I’ll pretend it was meant to be a Fans! reference. It was really just my morbid train of thought taking command.
Hmm I wonder if Willis is planning to move the comic forward in time… A trip to the beach sounds like a pretty good break in the story to me.
My girlfriend is from NW Indiana and I showed her this comic… Now she is walking around the house singing “Innndiaaaaana Beeeeach!”
So …let me try to guess:
Either on the way out to the beach, or coming back, Joe’s going to see Walky with all these girls, right?
Then … hilarity. 🙂
-airfox
Um…two lakes came to mind immediately: Heritage and Raccoon. Both are good lakes for swimming, and have excellent beaches.
There’s also Monroe Lake, which is much closer to Bloomington.
Go to the beach? When did this turn into every high school anime I’ve ever seen?
It made me super giddy to hear about Indiana beach on here. Though the Crow lies about there being more than corn in Indiana.
