      Well, in the other continuity (Mention Of Other Continuity Alert!! Flee! Flee now! While you still have your tennis rackets!) it took several years for Waky to mature, so presuming a similar rate of development in this continuity…we’d better hope Willis is a time lord, so he’ll stay un-senile long enough to write it.

          It doesnt appear that he has difficulty talking. More like he chooses his words poorly because he doesnt know any better.
          On another note, he hasnt broken down while in the vicinity of Dorothy. Im so proud (look at avatar for smiley face).

      Actually, when Dorothy has been shown standing next to Danny, she’s been quite a bit shorter than him. I also seem to recall that Walky is kind’a short, too (at least in comparison with other members of the cast).

    If Dotty’s gonna be a snark, she should give back Monkey Master. Just sayin’.

    Every single time I look at this strip, Walky’s line makes me burst into giggles.

    It’s…just…so…beautiful.

    I know a Walky (not a dude named Walky FTR, just a very Walky-esque individual). I’ve tried to teach him how to talk to girls. All the basic precepts and axioms are completely lost on him.

    He once started a conversation with a girl he barely knows by telling her he’d eaten so much candy the night before that it made the roof of his mouth peel.

    I just noticed the shading under Dorothy’s bust line is missing in panel three.
