          The “social development” here is Walky not wearing pajama jeans in public, and the quickest way to achieve that would be to not buy them for him in the first place.

          Nah, this is an abusive prick exploiting someone’s failings to make them suffer – either because they’re an easy target, or so he can feel like the blame is theirs for having those socially unacceptable failings rather than his for bringing them up.

            July 19, 2012 at 6:10 am | #

            No. The development is Walky attaining some awareness that maybe pajama jeans aren’t all he really wants in life, and that maybe sometimes it’s worth compromising such things.
            If he never had the PJs, he’d still worship the idea of them.

              To go a step more, it’ll make walky realize not only the thing with the Pjeans, but that he puts too much stock in the tiny, wacky things, instead of whats really important.

                  @Hannover Fist: I borrowed that euphemism from a Kevin ‘Bloody’ Wilson song “You Cant Say conga In Canada”

                  Excerpt of the lyrics.
                  Now, you can’t say ‘conga’ in Canada
                  Why wasn’t I surprised
                  When they said gash, pussy, poontang, beef curtain, burger, gateway to her guts
                  …Gateway to her guts? What was I smokin’ when I wrote that one?…
                  Split whisker, beaver, long-eye, front bum, growler, hairy lassoo
                  No, you can’t say ‘conga’ in Canada

    So, a question (possibly inspired by the beach banner above). If Walky eats Fifty. McNuggets. (and all the tacos), how does he look like he’s sculpted out of caramel? Crazy metabolism, perchance?

    Wait, OK, everyone. Everyone who’s been commenting so far.

    Is Mike either:
    a/ psychic
    b/ just really insightful
    c/ presumptive
    d/ actually ignorant of what’s happened and would be saying the exact same things if Walky had come in looking chipper having not broken up with Dot
    e/ the overseer of a campus-wide network of spies who tweet him up-to-the-second information on what’s going on in the semiprivate lives of all his acquaintances
    ???

    Because unless he’s been watching through a telescope and listening with a gun mic from a window with an almost suspiciously convenient angle onto where the two of them had the argument, how is he to know they’ve broken up at the point which Walky comes into the room? He could be bummed out for all manner of other reasons, upto and including the corner store being out of his favourite flavour of cheez-its.
    (yeah, double “ou” there, mofos)

    He’s machiavellian, and quite possibly earth’s ultimate non-murderous jerk… but, clairvoyant? Nuhuh.

      Mike does not need clarivoyance. One would assume he has a cell phone, we know he has Twitter, the breakup was public. Yea, I’m pretty sure he has the means to have the knowledge.

      Presumably the whole reason he was so nice in buying Walky Pajama Jeans was that he knew
      a. Walky would wear them in public
      b. Dorothy would not stand for them.

      on a sidenote, did he start helping Walky with the pajama jeans before or after Walky started hooking up with Dorothy? I can’t remember.

      Even if Walky had not seen Dorothy at all, Mike would have said the same thing. The fact that nobody would think they are as awesome as Walky thought they would be means he would have been disappointed on some level, and that would have lead him to have a reaction to his statements. It’s called Xanatos Roulette because no matter how it lands, same outcome.

      Exactly. If not pajama jeans. it’s going to be the wrong shirt, or taking the wrong class, or getting the wrong grade, or something. Walky’s always going to have to measure up to Dotty’s standards, and sooner or later, Mike won’t be around to embarrass her arrogant ass into relaxing them.

      I don’t know. Billie can certainly be mean spirited but she doesn’t show the ability to long term plan and I think lacks the detachment to be a true schemer which would make them a better match. But if you’re talking short term fling where Mike rips her heart out at the end I can ship that…

        Billie is shortsighted enough that she wouldn’t see it as scheming and thus would do everything Mike wants her to do without fail. Both would actually be happy, Billie because she feels she’s accepted by someone who isn’t bad looking and not realize that he is the cause of her misery, and Mike who can always have a sucker for his schemes and/or someone to make them happen for him.

    There could be a heartwarming TV series called something like “My Name is Mike.” Each week, he teaches someone the error of their ways through cruelty and manipulation. At the end of the episode, his target has a sudden flash of insight and rushes round to Mike’s place to thank him. Gushy music playing an’ all. To find… well, moms and nickels are involved.

    I’ve said this about Shortpacked comics, but it gets me that Mike seems to have ZERO interests of his own. Everything he does is about other people. Either to hurt them or (very rarely) to help. But he never seems to do anything just for him.

      I think he gains a sadistic pleasure at the pain of their realizations, because he DOES make their enlightenment as painful as he can usually. So pretty much his interest and hobby is making other people hurt, uncomfortable, and potentially even self-loathing. That he has then manipulated them to change may even play into a power fantasy. Additionally he has to listen to less teenage drama complaining this way since he’s directed the trains to wreck in just the way he wants.
