Third rule of Garbage Roof: Amanda takes your half-eaten pizza
(I’d say she’s Team Mikey in Splatfest but she’s clearly a Donnie Fangirl)
This is the best ship in the comic… the best FRIENDship
Slipshine in 5… 4…
Walky And Amber Perform A Pizza
Walky and Amber Perform a Garbage?
Walk and Amber Garbage a Pizza
Garbage and Amanda Eat a Pie
Garbage piza sounds distinctly unappetizing. Unless you think all piza is garbage, in which case you’re on your own.
Garbage pizza is a tasty thing.
Wouldn’t a garbage pizza be “deluxe”?
Pineapple.
Walky already threw a toy at her head. It is their destiny.
They’re about to have an indirect kiss via pizza, even.
Now you’re confusing Dorothy with other Dorothy.
Oops, forgot about http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/02-this-is-the-way-that-we-love/simpler/
I ASK FOR REMINDERS:
When exactly did Walky forget Amber?
It’s a secret identity thing. Neither are really feeling it, though. Sloppy.
WAit, by doing TAG MAGIC I managed to remember.
Also, would like ti point out that it is adorable that when distressed, Walky expresses affection by throwing toys (rare toys)
Last time on Garbage Roof, Amazi-Girl took off her mask in front of Walky and Walky did his best impression of Lex Luthor in Flash’s body from Justice League Unlimited.
Grumble… I don’t enjoy when people pretend to forget other people’s names, because with me, it’s not pretend. It just takes me several uses to embed the name in my memory.
I have enough trouble with names that I overuse pronouns with people whose names I have known for years just because I’m so in the habit of avoiding using names generally.
#metoo
Here it is for everyone else: http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/02-this-is-the-way-that-we-love/amberomalley/
Also, I totally forgot that Amber revealed herself to Walky. I was sitting here boggling in the “reveal” that he figured out her secret identity….
I also totally forgot that “today” is still the same day that Walky and Dorothy broke up!
Oh geez I also forgot how woefully recent that was in-comic!
Yeah, ‘Faz is Great’ is going to affect the strips-per-DoA-day scale. Average was around 67, today makes 96.
Something something “Faz makes everything longer” joke something.
something something chart something length something something penis
Garbage Roof has a pretty stable population
Neither Amber nor Walky are all that stable.
What about Sal? She’s also appeared on the roof.
There hasn’t actually been a census in a while. Last time they tried, most people just threw out the forms and they became more garbage.
Aren’t we all garbage at some point in our lives?
Due to the rules of Garbage Roof no one can say otherwise.
Also yes. Some more than others and some way longer than others. Some of us are still in that garbage state where you resign yourself and become zen trash that awaits the beginning of a new life.
We all need access to the Garbage Roof.
Oh that penultimate panel is gonna be a great new profile pic

Garbage Roof deserves a tag.
Hear! Hear!
So does Amanda
Garbage Roof is it.
Garbage Roof is my favorite location.
This is how I interact with all my “frendz”
Good luck most of its already in his mouth. Also how he get over his drunken state so fast, Oh wait that’s right just a tea spoon amnout.
He probably ate enough pizza to absorb the inebriated effects of the alcohol.
That was earlier in the day while the sun was still up if I’m remembering correctly.
One nice thing about being a lightweight is your liver can make short work of what it does take to get you drunk. That’s the case for me anyway. It’s probably a YMMV thing based on exactly why you’re a lightweight.
Anybody else read that article about the “Pizza Daddy” customer who finagled a feedback loop of free pizza this past week?
The Crust Of The Matter.
The only downside is they’re stuck eating ‘Pizza Daddy’ garbage pizza. Even Pentomino’s is better these days.
I’m going to be honest I thought he was going to have more problems remembering her because she was wearing classes this time, like a reverse Clark Kent…. no wait actually just basic Clark Kent.
While I think this strip makes it clear that he knew all along who she was and the whole making up names thing last time was just Walky being Walky.
He’s silly. He’s goofy. He’s allergic to anything vaguely like responsibility. He can be jerk. He’s not an idiot.
I have been waiting for the return of Garbage Roof just to post this Rockapella link.
+1
Always upvote Rockapella! If you ever get the chance to see them live, jump on it.
that… was actually pretty underwhelming. where’s the energy I remember? I prefer this song despite the poor audio quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuzc4jgwlT8
They should make out. It would be a really bad decision.
I’m actually hoping for it
First Danny and now Walky? That’d be like a confirmation that Dororthy and Amber really are the same person
Yaaaay! **pumps fists in air**
…
And yes, in case anyone wonders, that was an Avenue Q reference.
Maybe if Walky stops being such a turd to Amber. Because right now he’s being a turd and does not deserve to be rewarded with smooches if any kind
amber in 5th panel: listen here you little shit
WHO ELSE IS HERE FOR A AMBER WALK DOROTHY DANNY ETHAN LOVE PENTAGON?
I don’t know who invented the bottle that spins
But I know it’s a fun game that everyone wins
When you play it with closeted queers
In a love carousel
The Doubleclicks, Wrong About Gender
okay I need some kleenex now
so many feelings
Triangle of Confusion! Rhombus of Terror! Parabola of Mystery!
Am I the only one blanking on the cutoff word? Is that supposed to be “skill”?
That doesn’t really make sense to me, but I’m blanking on any other “skil” word.
Skills I think?
Skillset. She has the necessary skill set from her character build to take his pizza.
Thank you, both of you.
Either option works better than the single “skill” I was thinking of.
The real reason she’s taking his pizza is because it’s Agnes McMarshmallow.
Off-topic, but I have orientation at McDonald’s tomorrow, which Google says means I got the job. I am not equipped to process this concept, despite preparing for it as much as possible.
I’m extremely nervous about this and have no idea how to reconcile it with several years of nonstop rejection, which I’m worried will show during orientation, leading to me getting fired right away, negating any positive emotions I might have about apparently finding work. It feels exactly as awful as being turned down, and I’m also worried that not being cheerful enough about this will upset everyone who’s excited for me, and I seriously have no fucking clue how to handle this, emotionally.
I’m going to recommend the mantra against fear. Seriously. Sounds stupid but it can work.
Google “Fear is the little death”
Orgasms are also the little death, so we should definitely worry less about fear
I know the feeling..s
anxiety is really fucking good at sucking all the joy out of success, eh?
It helps to take time out to just feel those feelings and sit with them.
For work… Hrm. My nervousness tends to come off as cute, I guess, which works in my favour. That probably works differently for guys, but if you can joke about it that’ll probably help a lot. If you get too nervous to function, try breathing exercises or a glass of water, anything to force yourself to slow down.
As for other people’s feelings about your feelings, eh, fuck them, they can go have a sad somewhere else :p you’ve got enough on your plate for now.
Does dry-heaving count as a breathing exercise and/or excuse to fire me??
:/ well, breathing exercises do help with getting through nausea too.
You seem to have assumed they’re already looking for an excuse to fire you. :/ Is there a reason for that or just jerkbrain being jerkbrain?
It’s probably just jerkbrain being jerkbrain, but I have a history of being singled out by people who decide they don’t like me before I even speak. Maybe it’s because I’m autistic, so small things I don’t notice myself doing just seem “off” to people, and my naturally surly face makes people think I’m pissy all the time. Being soft-spoken and mumbly, I also have trouble not sounding like a testy smartass when I speak up.
Basically, a lot of small but noticeable tics and patterns of mine, combined with a town full of 30-year-old high schooled, leads my brain to assume I’m going to get singled out like every other time.
ah, shitty. I’m actually trying to go in the other direction myself; I learnt to broadcast helpfulness and good intentions and now I want a bit more “don’t fuck with me”
I wish I could explain *how* I learnt it… it was a long time ago. I think mostly I smile a lot, and phrase everything as a question, and a bunch of other gendered bs.
hopefully “orientation” means that they’ll just want you to shut up and listen most of the day. and hopefully you won’t be working the customer-interaction parts? I imagine for the cooking, anyone who can follow basic instructions efficiently ought to be valued.
I guess the important thing to watch for during orientation (assuming you have any brain power to spare that anxiety hasn’t stolen) would be how much the manager seems to want competent workers vs buddies vs ass-kissers or whatever. Focus on information-gathering, be as grey-rock as possible, then make plans later.
Also: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rds7V5Sxu-4
And good luck!
It is normal to be nervous about starting a new, although obviously when new job nerves turn into crippling anxiety, that’s not fun *offers appropriate gesture of support*
Having worked at McDonald’s myself, can confirm that orientation will be fine, they’ll be patient with you, and respect that you won’t know everything straight away – that’s what the orientation period is for. And you’ll get used to the job quicker than you expect.
I cannot speak for McD’s specifically, but at most jobs like this orientation is about teaching you the bare basics of your job. This is about teaching, not judging.
McD’s has been very supportive of people with various issues and needs. They want you to succeed. If they talk to you separately (which they probably won’t), it would be to help them figure out how to help you be the most comfortable and successful while working there.
Finally, if in doubt, smile.
btw, I understand your avatar now. holy shit. holy fucking shit I did not expect half of that
especially the pearl-ception. wow.
Pink Diamond is a babe, though.
Pretending to be an idiot is pointless around Amber. She’s also super-scary enough that if she wants your pizza, you had best give her your pizza!
Anyone else notice that when Willis draws Amber in her super-depressed funk-mood, she quite literally shares the same types of facial features as Blaine? Like, literally – cut her hair short, narrow her cheeks a bit, and you’ve got Blaine.
Who, by the way, is bound to have been our of the hospital for a little while by now. Maybe still on bedrest while his ribs heal, but probably not for much longer.
There are eight million garbage stories on garbage roof. This is one of them.
Man, I didn’t take seriously the possibility of Amber x Walky until this strip. It could very well happen!
What happens on garbage roof stays on garbage roof.
Your pic sells the comment.
Danny must be cursed somehow. First Dorothy dumps him and hooks up with Walky, now Amber XD
Almost forgot about Ethan, seduced by the siren call of Mike’s lips.
True that. But i still have hope for EthDan.
It would be the healthiest relationship for him, just two adorable dorks living their sweet sweet nerd love.
Given her facial expressions I’m a tad worried about Amber’s state right now. Okay, “more worried than usual”.
To be fair she just looks really tired, nothing some sleep won’t cure.
If Amazi-Girl wasn’t out fighting crime while Amber sleeps.
Makes you wonder how much Bruce Wayne spends on coffee…
Batman has trained to be the best at not sleeping.
Actually, I kind of assume Bruce just sleeps most of the day. It’s not like he has a regular job to show up to.
Yeah, he attends some parties every once in a while. Although he is probably the CEO of Wayne company and might have to attend meetings, set up policies and stuff like that. Though he might have some administrators for that and mostly just does the charity stuff. This kinda reminds me how soldiers during the Boot Camp “learn” the skill of sleeping anywhere at any time. Bruce probably has that too.
I need a garbage roof today so badly…
I’m happy with my garbage bed.
Where everybody knows your name…
I literally believe Walky was guessing that it was Amber. He doesn’t learn the names of anyone around him.
Walky is mighty sassy today. I do like that he DOES know Amber’s name, and was just being a goofball.
I don’t believe it. If he can’t learn Box Lady’s or Sir Puffington III’s name then he can’t learn Garbage Roof Lady’s.
Amber is not just tired, she’s tired of his shit.But she is simply short of sleep and short of joy in her life.
Taking your pizza.
Now that’s a superpower I’d like to have.
I bet the Flash does that all the time.
This should end with garbage roof sex.
I thought this said garbage roof sax and TBH I think I prefer that.
Eh, I want Walky and Dot to be in relationships. I don’t want them pining over their exes forever.
While I agree it is a bit too early I think. Walky and Dotty had sex like earlier that afternoon. Kind of a jerk move to hook up with her friend, and neighbor that soon.
The self depreciation club is reuniting again. Can they call Ruth too? Wait, she is in recovery. Their schedule involves watching horrible shows on YouTube and read mean spirited comments to fuel rage, followed by hearing Nickle Bag and complain about the sound.
So, is Nickle Bag a Nickelback cover band?
