        No, that’s a myth. Mirrors don’t flip anything, that’s an artifact of our perception. Here’s an experiment you can do to convince yourself of it: take a picture of your image in the mirror using your phone. See? Not reversed! Its wild the things we can make ourselves believe.

            In those, the shirt is itself flipped, because the person is facing the mirror

            If you have a transparent sheet with writing on it, what you see and whats in the mirror will match

              exactly!
              and when you’re checking yourself out in the mirror, and say you’re hungover or something, and you flip out? Who’s doing the flipping in that situation? The mirror? Obviously not.
              I rest my case.

      Whenever I think of Melonpool, I think of Jalea

      In her prime, she overcame her origins as a mean-spirited joke to become the two most important things Melonpool could possibly have had in a single character: For the Star Trek side of it, she was the outsider who had to grow beyond her programming and learn what it means to be human, thereby teaching us something about ourselves. And for the puppet side of it, she was the regular human surrounded by muppets, giving them something to bounce off of and enhancing the production as a result.
      Yet every alternate timeline and reboot has taken those things away from her, never to give them back.
      Was her arc really an accident?! Did Steve Troop not realize what he had? I guess I’ll never know, because none of the alternate timeline/reboot shenanigans were ever resolved. Her one happy ending, implied to be the original timeline, sits as an abandoned arc. Buried in the archive.
      If Steve Troop ever goes back to the old drawing board, I hope he gives her the justice she’s due. She was my favorite character in Melonpool.

      (Come on, when else am I gonna get to talk about this)

    Never underestimate a nerd and their love of specific comics/movies/books/games/etc. That’s what we live for, to immerse ourselves in this world we enjoy. Unlike the real world where immersion is hampered by fear of death.

    …okay, so the only part of Melonpool I’ve read was the Walky crossover. Did the Duplomatic mirror its duplicates right and left like Ressurection Chambers do? Because I’m pretty sure Anti-Head Alien was drawn with his claw on the right in later Walkyverse stuff.

    • Jeff K!

      August 6, 2022 at 1:02 am | #

      I believe it did, actually. I’m not going to check, but I think there was a point where someone with an eye patch got dup-o-maticked and it was mirrored.

    • Dave
      Dave
      August 6, 2022 at 2:25 am | #

      Anti-Head Alien’s was left-handed and right-clawed, because he got duplicated prior to Head Alien’s death and resurrection. (I just went back and verified that his claw is on his right hand in every comic he appears in, with the exception of his post-bodysnatching tagged appearance.) When Head Alien becomes the Cheese and hijacks Anti-Head Alien’s body, he gets mirrored via Cheese powers to match Head Alien’s right-handed left-clawed post-resurrection appearance for the rest of the comic.

      Buuuuuuuut since Head Alien/Dexter appears to be a less outrageously violent and murdery character in his DOA comics/cartoons, I’m guessing the whole died-and-resurrected business never happened there and he was always right-handed, hence the alternative explanation for why Anti-Dexter is a southpaw.

          So I’ve never read the Walkyverse aside from a bit of Roomies and the more I hear about it the more confused I get. Apparently, Booster was a stick, Carla was a car, and Ronald Reagan shoes up at some point? That’s wild.

            Carla was a talking car. Reagan worked in a toy store.

            There was a Power Booster Rod, but there’s no more real connection there than the name. Unlike Ultra Car, who was an actual character that Carla is the DOA version of.

            It’s uneven, but it’s definitely worth reading the old stuff. Especially with Willis’s modern commentary on it.

    This is a reference to Amber being a clone of Dorothy at the start of Dumbingofage. Also Dorothy and Thick Dorothy are in position to Sandwich Walky right now.

    And the winner for the “Worst ex” prize is Dorothy with her amazing interpretation of the “Hit him showing how little he knows about something he love” move!

    🎶 working hard at becoming prez,
    🎶 acing through Indiana U.
    🎶 one day i was abducted at dawn,
    🎶 but the perp got shot so it’s cool!

    🎶 Then it’s Halloween, with all the team,
    🎶 nerdiness is in the air!
    🎶 I’m talking to my ex a lot,
    🎶 but that’s neither here nor there!

    🎵 She’s the crazy ex-girlfriend! 🎵
    “what? no i’m not!”
    🎵 She’s the crazy ex-girlfriend! 🎵
    “that’s a sexist term!”
    🎵 She’s the crazy ex-girlfriend! 🎵
    “can you guys stop singing for just a second?”
    🎵 She’s super traumatiiiised! 🎵
    “the situation’s a lot more nuanced than that!”
    🎵 C-R-A-Z-Y 🎵
    “OK! We get it!”
    🎵 Crazy ex-girlfriend! 🎵

    Is this why Walky and Amber broke up, because she didn’t know Dexter lore while Dorothy does?

      I’m more worried that it will be because Walky spent the whole night flirting with Dorothy.

Excerpt from a Comicsbeat article by E.B. Hutchins about Alex Graham's racist ass comic:  

Is there somewhere in this article where I could talk about the very real feeling of jealousy and how it can make even the nicest people into assholes? No, that’s not this article. It’s not this article because we’ve let appealing to white people’s comfort get in the way of progress to the point where our culture, democracy, and future is at stake. Appealing to white people’s comfort is how we got to where BIPOC and LGBT people are being erased from history all together because the dark history of this country makes white people uncomfortable.
