              The breakup wasn’t THAT bad. There is still (remains) a possible ‘just friends’ or neutral status, these are TEENAGERS for christ’s sake. No pregnancies were involved, no heavy financial interties, no jointly held properties, just ‘dated, found out it didn’t work’ and go. (then again, when I was college age, I kinda didn’t have any feelings at all that way, I was far too involved with painting miniatures and laying down head-trips for my stoner friends at the game table, with dice…)

                Yeah, it’s definitely possible to recover from this and still be friends or just neutral, but it’s literally the next day and that’s awkward. Going to take a bit of time to adjust

                Heck, it was only nebulously a breakup at all. I wouldn’t put money on it, but “Hey, I was and am upset about things but still like you and want to see if we can work through it” is a theoretically plausible trajectory for these two. Very long odds, but weirder things have happened.

        This is David Walkerton, he’s slightly less socially adept at eighteen than I was-and I had to learn my social skills in the Army because I didn’t HAVE any. that said, do you REALLY think he’s going to think of that, and not ‘what he’s doing at this very moment’?

      Its awkward cause I got up this morning and she’s still on the 13th so we chatted before I had to go off to work. She’s prolly going to get up in an hour and we’ll chat some more before she has to go to work. And that’s most likely to be that. Distance relationships can suck in that way.

      Thanks, NG! Happy Pal-In-Time Day, Pals o’ Mine! 💌

      V-day was always kind of a strange day for me. The V-day after my partner passed I was in a super bad way.

      Today I just took extra meds, read a bunch of funny memes online, hardly worked at all, wrote stories to send to a friend, and stuffed myself on chocolate and sushi. It was a sad day, but it’s almost over. And it’s also a day to feel grateful, in spite of everything.

      2/14 will be a better day. I got my V-day sadness out of the way ahead of time. We’ll be all right.

      🤝🫂🐈 Warm fuzziness to everyone who wants some, and respectful distance maintained for those who prefer to preserve their space.🪐

      To each according to their needs and wishes.

      It doesn’t matter if anything has actually happened. If it’s been even slightly hinted at as a possibility, people will leap on it like starving hyenas. Joyce’s autism diagnosis (didn’t happen), Walky and Lucy breaking up for certain (not quite yet), Booster having any appealing characteristics beyond the occasional kinda-nice outfit, whatever else.

        Okay, but by narrative conventions, we can effectively know what the results are of Joyce’s diagnosis before it happens, because this is a story and not real life. Like, why bring it up, why make it a plot point, if the conclusion to the arc is just “Oh, no, you’re neurotypical, you just had a bad childhood”? A thing we already know, a thing that this does nothing to reiterate?

        If the narrative actually focuses on the diagnostic process (which it probably never will), then the only satisfying conclusions are either “yes, she has autism”, or potentially “no, but she has OCD or some other neurodivergence instead (or in addition to).” And if we know that those are the narrative outcomes, and we know that the former is more likely than the latter, and we also know that the diagnostic process prolly won’t be shown because it’s narratively redundant, then readers can just safely assume that Joyce is autistic. That that was the point of bringing it up in the story.

          What Taffy said is that since Joyce hasn’t been diagnosed yet it’s somehow jumping to conclusions to talk as though she’s autistic. Except it’s not, for the reasons stated. There’s no point bringing it up in story only for it to go nowhere. Everybody understands that but the two of you.

          It can be ambiguous. esp with other diagnosis. That was already discussed, and can be the point. Plus one more need to unpack something post religious upbringing.

          Plus its autobiographical, and diagnosis criteria probably changed in 20 years.

      Well, first of all, she said “see you tomorrow.”

      The day has already started and she shows disinterest….and that already scared Walky.

        yeah other than letting everyone know or wanting some distance, walking to class together isn’t exactly a romantic thing in a group setting but even if they do walk together i assume they’re still gonna be in the same class, tho i imagine it’d be too late to change seats (unless it’s a first come first serve thing even if college tech doesn’t have seat assignments like some places, i imagine most ppl just ‘choose’ one themselves)

        She said specifically, “See you at math tomorrow”. Which couldn’t really be avoided, since neither of them are going to drop the class, but also implies not before then and thus not walking there together.
        And while walking to class together isn’t exactly romantic, it’s awkward as hell. At the start of a breakup, assuming that’s what this is, every contact is. But this is public, with friends, in a context where they’ll have to make small talk, but can’t actually hash out what’s going on between them.

        If Lucy’s here to stake a claim on her place in the friend group, it’s a really aggressive move. It’s also possible she’s just going along with her routine, not realizing how awkward it’ll be. This is her first breakup, I believe.

      There’s some uncertainty. “I need to be brave enough to know when I deserve better,” leans towards finality, but it’s still a little ambiguous.
      He did not seem to be expecting her, and he did tell Sal they “kinda blew up”. And then he ran into Dorothy at karaoke.

      I thought it was a breakup, but it may be that Lucy is waiting for Walky to make a move. She says “we’ll see”, which implies that she’s giving Walky a chance to prove that the relationship is important to him and not just inertia.

      I didn’t consider the karaoke angle, though. I wonder if something happened with him an Dorothy, and that’s why he makes that face at the end?

          Okay, as someone who is generally not fond of Lucy, overall, I’m going to try to paint this from her PoV:

          Yes, she helped concoct a ridiculous plan–but that was because Walky had made it self-evident that he had no intention of confronting his parents (esp. his mother) directly about the issue, despite being fully aware of it. She regrets enabling him on this, rather than not starting out with a demand that he defend her more fully against the toxicity in the family dynamic.

          Also, I don’t think she’s trying to get ‘revenge’, here. That would be counter to her self-image as ‘the nice one’. If anything, she’s hoping to prove Sarah wrong, by being friends with the group even after she’s broken off her relationship with Walky. If I’m right about this, then all I can add is, “It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out for her.”

              Assuming she actually considers them broken up, I’d go with the “wants to keep the friend group” idea. This is a lousy way to go about it, but this is also the first real breakup she’s had, iirc. She likely doesn’t have a good idea of the protocol.

      I mean they do have the same class. This is interesting because Lucy did change her schedule specifically to get close to Walky and now that her romance has ran its course she’s still kind of stuck having to be in the same place at the same time with him and no real pretense to hangout with the rest of the group. Surely she’s not here because Sarah is good company and with no Sal or Joyce this is actually a kind of power move to wait for Walky. I’ve said it from the beginning that Lucy is not as innocent as she presents.

        They have the same class, but aren’t coming from the same dorm, so don’t need to walk there together.
        OTOH, it’s a large group that usually walks and she doesn’t have a reason to think that Sal’s already left and Joyce isn’t(?) coming today.

      Esp. for those of us old enough that rating the students would feel a bit… wrong. (Seriously I could be these kids’ grand-pappy, if there was a mid-teens pregnancy along the way.)

      First I’m going to note that we need more names. At the very least, Chloe should be on there (RMs might be more ‘staff’ than ‘faculty’, I suppose, but they’re still employees of the school).

      And honestly, Chloe’s got that two-tone hair thing going, and I’ve got a weakness for that, esp. with the glasses.

      Out of your list, though, I’d waffle a lot between Leslie and Robin, before finally settling on Leslie.

    Where’s Dina, anyway? Sal’s already out, Walky and Lucy just got here, Joyce is… preoccupied? Jennifer’s probably going from her own dorm by herself. That just leaves Dina of the math group.

    Objectively, I feel Sal is the hottest, as in she would push the buttons of the greatest variety of people (and the poll seems to support that).
    But subjectively, it’s between Amber and Jennifer for me, as I generally lean towards the curvier the better.
    That said, there’s something about Amber when she’s feeling like garbage and doesn’t care about doing the appropriate thing, but wants to indulge in her baser desires that really does it for me, so I have to choose her.

    listen carefully. linda was pretty hot in walkyverse, like the absolute hottest, but not so much in dumbiverse. but shes not even an option, so that’s out. as a lesbian who primarily likes butch lesbians, there is simply not a recurring character who really comes close to encapsulating what i really find attractive AND is on the poll. except jason, who is not really meant to be seen as a butch lesbian i’m sure, but until one with presentation even remotely close to jason’s is actually introduced i am going to fully convince myself and play pretend that he the dapper he/him butch lesbian of my dreams. so by this metric, he’s obviously the hottest. the only way to fix this is if dorothy were butch. that kind of presentation doesn’t really seem her style, but it would be soooo hot.

    “You know what, you can have him?”

    Sarah blinks a moment, then sports an evil grin. “I vill break you.”

    Walke has a nervous look, and hesitantly replies, “Yeah, I think you will. I should be running now. Part of me is screaming that I should. But another part just says, ‘yes, ma’am’.”

      February 14, 2024 at 4:11 pm | #

      I think it’s the angle from which Walky is looking down at them at the bottom of the steps. There’s no background for Lucy’s two panels where she’s looking at him, so the addition of the road when she looks away shakes the viewer a little bit.

    Pretty late to make a comment, but! My theory is that Walky will tell Lucy that he had an argument with his mum about her racism. Lucy will call him an idiot for it becaue why would you do that when you’re financially dependent on them??? Walky gets mad and confused on why she’s angry because wasn’t this what she wanted?? Answer turns out no, at least not nessicarily, she wanted him to at least say something in her defence when his mum decides to make little congay comments about her. Sarah is on the sidelines egging them both on in the argument because the woman gets off on strife and misery.

    Surprisingly, DoA has no characters I really find sexy. Which is wild! There are Slipshines and stuff! And they do nothing for me. I voted Sal bc she’s who I theoretically like the most, but Joe would be a close second if it was post-timeskip Joe.

      For me, all of these characters are kids. They are literally younger than my kids. AND they are cartoons. So they have zero sexiness. Joyce’s mom dresses like a cougar with her push-up bra, inappropriately low-cut minidress, and bathrobe, but since she is a horrible person …! I just don’t even understand, maybe she has been sleeping with their pastor out of misplaced duty to god.

      Hmmm… Amber’s mom and Joe’s dad are quite a lovely couple, I wish we could see more of them.

      Honestly, I feel like at least half of the recent strips could have gone here and it would have been “perfectly timed for Valentine’s Day”.

      Lucy and Walky breaking up? Karaoke date with the ex? Karaoke with all the exes? Dorothy’s romantic tribulations, including her evident confused lesbian crush on her best friend, while watching said best friend’s happy new relationship? Sarah blowing up her chances with Jacob with her Sarahness? Sarah’s efforts to cockblock Joyce and Joe? Jennifer and Asher’s dysfunctional relationship? Asher flirting with Ethan while still in said dysfunctional relationship?
