          Makes sense. Walky walks off with Becky, Ethan and Danny confess their crushes, Dorothy and Amber ease their pain by watching a movie, they look down the aisle… Amber sobs “My ex-boyfriend ran off with my boyfriend Danny” and Dorothy says, “Danny from the boys’ wing? I dumped his sorry ass way back.”

      But is she sad because Becky and Walky are hitting it off and spending even more time together or because Walky and Dorothy are having problems. Normally she’d approve of a break up but Dorothy did just tell Walky she loved him so the break up would hurt.

          Not sure where this one will go. Walky kind of shat the bed and Dorothy seemed pissed, but she didn’t say it was over. The relationship’s maybe a month old tops. This could be a mountain or a mole hill.

    I just hope that this isn’t what happens:

    Walky still wants to be with Dorothy, just can’t work up yet how to approach her.

    Becky and Walky are hanging out having a good time, no intentions beyond friendship.

    Dorothy, meanwhile, just happens to come across them and completely misinterprets the situation.

    Dorothy either flips out and raises hell or, alternately and if not seen by Walky, runs off but then avoids the hell out of him, so they end up avoiding each other while unpleasant feelings fester.

      I think Dorothy’s pretty cool with Walky spending time around other women. Should be fine short of anything terribly cliched like if Walky got knocked over onto Becky and Dorothy just happened to walk in on that compromising moment.

        Well, Dorothy was surprisingly cool about finding out that Billie slept (in the literal sense) with Walky… (Mysteriously just happening to end up at Walky’s door aside.) That being said, I could still see her cool getting flustered given that (a) she and Walky are kind of mid-argument at the moment, and (b) while she has a pretty good idea of Walky relationships with much of the female cast, and thus knows there is little to worry about, she does not know Becky, thus Becky represents an unknown factor.

        An unknown factor being very friendly with her man!

          I really don’t see Dorothy having a problem with friendliness. People are allowed to be friendly. She’s done nothing to indicate she’d have a problem with any sort of woman being friendly with her boyfriend, and numerous things to indicate she doesn’t.

          Plus they’ve been dating for a month already. If she had some possessive streak severe enough that she’d have problems with her boyfriend doing basic things like conversing with other women, even strange women, even when she and Walky are having a fight, it probably would’ve come up already. That’s not the sort of thing that manifests in just one way. Even if it did, Walky exists as a moderately social entity on campus, meeting people all the time, and this isn’t the first time things have gotten tense between them.

            I don’t think Dorothy is going to blow up at Walky for Becky. I think that either a) they will make up, but Walky will be uneasy about it and eventually start thinking about what it is he wants from the relationship or b) they will break up, and Dorothy will then be upset/offended/angry about the speed with which Walky and Becky start spending a lot more time together. Neither scenario is exactly optimistic for the good ship Dorky, and each would be treacherous waters for the still-better ship Wacky. Hopefully one of them (I’m rooting for Wacky) will pull through.

          But remember, Joyce is with them, and while Joyce doesn’t think Walky is good enough for Dorothy, Dorothy knows Joyce wouldn’t do anything to hurt her, or allow Walky to cheat on her right in front of her and not say something.

            Well, in my head as this scenario played out, Joyce had had to duck out to go to the bathroom or something, but since it is not uncommon for females to do so in groups, I couldn’t quite figure out why Joyce wouldn’t have dragged Becky with her rather than leave Becky with Walky. So I figured it better just to leave it unsaid, and hope that no one like you would come around and point this inconsistency out. 😛

    OK, I’m so confused. I thought this strip was yesterday’s (Sunday’s) strip. I’m pretty sure I saw it several times yesterday. But now I go back one strip and see a new strip with Joe I know I didn’t see yesterday…. WHAT IS GOING ON???

      You perfected time travel and mind erasure technologies. You traveled a day into the future from midnight Saturday to midnight Sunday, saw the strip. Then, when the Sunday was over, and before Monday’s strip was up, you traveled back to midnight Sunday, destroyed your time machine, and selectively erased the part of your mind that had Saturday’s strip and time-travelling in it.

      I haven’t figured out why there are not two of you on this timeline yet, but… soon…

          The thing is, I re-checked in the middle of the day yesterday, because I was perusing Willis’s twitter feed and noticed the “Snargghl” title and thought, “huh, I don’t remember that,” and so I checked DoA again, and it was still today’s strip! And I couldn’t figure out why it was titled “Snargghl”. Though I didn’t notice until today that the alt-text didn’t make sense either.

      Well whatever happened, it explains the “Snargghl” title and “candy corn” alt-text, which makes sense with Sunday’s strip but didn’t make a lick of sense with this strip.

        World’s oldest recorded joke, written cuneiform on a Sumerian clay tablet, about 1900 B.C.:

        Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.

      That’s easy for you to say. But while developing such feelings may not have been Dorothy’s intentions, sometimes your heart does things without consulting with your head first. It isn’t really a controllable factor.

      And, having through no conscious fault of her own developed these feelings, what was Dorothy supposed to do? Just keep that repressed forever? That is an even more unhealthy option, I would argue. So she let the “L” word slip. If it was in her heart, it was bound to happen. If Walky could respond in kind, or at least be willing if he would soon be able to do so, then awesome! Otherwise, best to nip things off now, before she lets her feelings grow and lets the inevitable hurt grow with them.

      Of course, those are the usual two responses. Walky had to be difficult and throw out a third option! “I love you, too! I just don’t mean much by it. Words will have no power over me!”

    I’m surprised that people are taking this to be a Walky/Becky ship thing when my first thought was, “So does this mean Becky has dated women and Walky is a potential new lesbro?” The way she causally responds to Walky’s women problems makes me think she’s at least somewhat experienced in these matters.

    These commenters think everybody is gay/lesbian for one reason or another. Some still seem to think that Joyce is lesbian, even though all signs point to no.

    Becky is likely a rebellious one, as hinted earlier by Joyce’s more perceptive/untrusting roommate. There is no reason to think that she has the hots for Joyce, though.

      I’m pretty sure no one actually thinks Joyce is a lesbian at this point. Some of us just wish she was so she can make out with Dorothy/Billy/Sal and make our dreams real.

      As for Becky… It’s a Willis comic. Isn’t that reason enough to predict high chances for gayness?

        There are a considerable number of homosexuals in this comic series, but I don’t see it happening with Becky. We already have a gay guy whose sexual preference is disapproved of by his parents. A gay Becky would be kinda redundant.

          I, for one, am not rooting for gay Becky (because Becky unrequited love for Joyce sounds sad, and I like stories where tomboys struggle to remain tomboyish while people expect them to act girly when they want to romance dudes).

          But I think your logic is faulty. Becky acted pretty pleased at Walky’s suggestion that Joyce wants to go down on her female friends. It could just be a joking response, but not nessesarily.
          And two gay people that have disapproving parents isn’t automatically redundant, so long as Becky and Ethan and their respective parents all react to the situation in different ways. Yanno, like real gay people and their parents react differently to similar situations.

            But yeah, that was the whole situation with Danny. We had one gay man and literally nobody within the cast for him to do gay things with.

            Either way, we can of course always have more gay characters. You wouldn’t say “There’s already one straight character who enjoys fart jokes. A straight Becky would be kind of redundant.”

      Joyce is obviously not a lesbian. There are, however, plenty of signs pointing to her being maybe a little bicurious.

      I don’t think she’s actually bi to any significant degree, but I think she may be less certain of that. That whole arc around that strip I linked there is about Joyce’s insecurity about her own heterosexuality.

      As for Becky… she’s been pinging my “wants to bang Joyce like a screen door in a hurricane” alerts since sometime ’round about the strip #4. I’m not entirely sure why.

    Its funny because usually Joyce would probably be happy that Walky and Dorothy are the rocks, she would be if it wasn’t for the fact walky might steal her second best friend in the process. So this will probably come down too Joyce trying to get Walky and Dorothy’s relationship back on track to keep him away from Becky which is a also amusing since she’ll hate every minute of it.

    I kinda think Sierra is one with nature, so has flowers on her side. While, Dorothy, not so much.

    I do think Walky and Becky are a great pair. Friends right now and maybe more later. Right now just enjoying each other.

    Kinda odd about the ‘girls are soft’ statement being commented on as a lesbian remark. I’m not gay. However, I think if my younger brother said ‘girls are hard’, first thing that would come to my mind is “girl are soft”.

    As far as Joyce’s faces: like I said yesterday I think its: Joyce is totally possessive of her friends and of the opinion that they have to like the people she likes, the things she likes and of course, stay away from the things she doesn’t.
    She doesn’t like Walky, so of course her bff shouldn’t either.
    Dorothy blew it with the ‘I love you’ after stating this is a casual thing. I’m going to guess that Walky may feel bad for her for awhile, but rationalize it that it wasn’t for real.

      I think Joyce is in a weird place with the Dorothy/Walky thing right now. She won’t admit to liking Walky and doesn’t want him monopolizing Dorothy’s time, but she doesn’t want Dorothy getting hurt because stupid Walky put his foot in his mouth again and definitely doesn’t want him hurting Dorothy by cheating on her with her other BFF, or getting with her other BFF at all for that matter. Last time she was in a situation like this, she intimidated Walky into taking Dorothy back so that Dorothy could then dump Walky, which backfired on her when Dorothy didn’t.

    Walky, the truth is that it’s never the “right” decision; if you’ve alienated someone and they’re really angry with you in the moment, in my experience their frustration will paint you in the wrong whichever your response. There isn’t a romantic comedy moment where you cause a dramatic change of heart; the anger will pass, you will get an opportunity to apologize, and you can heal from there. You will come off as either harassing or uncaring in the person’s eyes in the moment, but that will pass.

    …that said, flirting with another girl during said times is not conducive to fixing the problem later and gives her a valid reason to feel you aren’t taking your screw up seriously.

      And to clarify, this isn’t a “girls are hard” thing; guys are just as likely to think you’re a jerk whatever you do until the rage over whatever happened ends. No need to assign it to genders when what we really mean a situation we primarily encounter in relationships.

    I just hope this isn’t going where people are thinking it’s going. I don’t like how Dorothy can get kind of…not exactly “controlling”, but just a kind of certainty that her way is right, but this would be a horrible thing to do to her. If Walky decides he doesn’t like the way Dorothy’s been flipflopping (at least in his mind) on how close they’re allowed to be, that’s one thing, but he should discuss that honestly with her before he starts chasing after someone else.

    And Joyce needs to have a private conversation with Becky right now, just to make it clear that Walky is already in a relationship. Not specifically to yell at Becky, Becky doesn’t know she’s done anything wrong except tweak Joyce, but just to inform her of it before things go to far.

    My guess? Dorothy will be disturbed, making the Do Not Disturb sign even more ironic. After all, it can’t be over until she says it’s over because she chose Walky, not the other way around. She sets the terms and has the power, at least she thinks so.

      I think Dorothy will probably be the one to break up with Walky, but only because Walky has a hard time saying things. He’ll be too nervous, and may end up waiting around, hoping she’ll cut it off.

        Walky’s dumped her in the past; She gave him an ultimatum and he just shrugged it off.

        That said, Walky has made it clear that he’s happy with how things are but he’s not really keen on ultimatums.

        Where this relationship goes really depends on whether Dorothy decides she is happy or not. Either she’ll issue an ultimatum or just dump him outright if she decides that he’s not ready to get serious and it’ll end the same either way.

        If she decides that maybe she’s too serious and things are pretty okay, then it could be the strip’s main couple (not to say the Protagonists, which is Joyce if there is one at all).

    Becky and Walky/Sittin’ in a tree…

    Oh, Walky. The truth is closer to, “relationships are hard,” but society pushes the “boys and girls are completely different; girls are mysterious, impossible-to-understand creatures” pretty hard, so the confusion gets mis-attributed.

    Dorothy’s going to Yale no matter what. Walky … isn’t. Case closed. He and Becky need to have a burp and fart contest, then use a few of Amazi-Girl’s condoms to get to know each other better. Joyce … well, she’s got her God to keep her warm.

      Walky, I think, very well could be, if he decided that he wanted to and was willing to put in the effort to get there. In terms of raw ability, he might be ahead of Dorothy; the reason that she’s gonna be President and he’s not is because she’s determined that she’s going to do it and is willing to give it her utmost, while he’s content to get by well enough with no effort.

      Walky just needs motivation, and Dorothy might be just the person to give it to him. (In at least one other universe, she was.)

      And I’m still more than half convinced that Becky believes that she’s God’s tool for keeping Joyce warm.

    Well. That’s it then for Dorothy and Walky probably. If he puts this random new girl over apologizing to his girlfriend…things don’t look good. But who knows, maybe things will work out. Dorothy and Walky have had relationship stumbles before.

      Ehn, he needs to clear his head. So does Dorothy. It’s not really clear that Walky would be welcome or seen as intruding on her when she’s trying to do some serious thinking; walking past a do not disturb sign into your SO’s room isn’t always going to end in hugs and kisses.

      Might be better for them to talk tomorrow or later.

      That said, Becky probably isn’t the best person to be running off to hang out with (as opposed to sit down and doing his own thinking). It’s just not clear that Walky recognizes his need to.

      It’s more of a rebound situation, not a romantic one. He gets his heart broken, but hey look there’s this awesome girl right here who is giving him attention! There is a possibility that he might just give in.

We have two major problems in our party: We have a courage problem and we have a competition problem. Because we don't challenge the status quo or people who are in safer blue seats nearly enough, we [end up with certain] candidates who get really comfortable. [highlighted by me] And if there's anything that I've learned from activism and organizing, it's that comfortable people — especially politicians — do not change.

Me two weeks ago: Jeffrey Epstein killed himself, not to protect anyone, but because entering prison as the world's most illustrious pedophile makes that a logical decision. Conspiracy theories make less sense than the stated story. Me now: The Pee Tape was shot on Epstein Island.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.
