Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
You can find people attractive that you wouldn’t date and be surprised in being attracted to people that don’t have all your preferences. I think Sarah has been discovering that.
Interestingly, in the comments on that strip someone pointed out that through no fault of his own, Beef always appears just before major bad things start to happen in the strip.
I haven’t verified, but if true he’s like DC’s Pariah.
Beef is one of those guys that I figured would always be basically a background gag, so it’s kind of fun to see him get… I guess you could call this a spotlight strip.
but yes. he’s been little more than a prop so far. a giant goon to make a group more menacing, a punchline, background decoration. The most he’s been is a sounding board who doesn’t really reply, twice now.
I forgot about Beef, but then we haven’t seen him much in DoA. I wonder if we’ll ever see him talk. If not I wonder if there’s an in-universe explanation for why he only grunts.
Per the tags, he was there when Amazi-Girl and Sal followed the roofying rapist-wannabe and then fought the bros. But Beef was just there; he didn’t say or do anything.
He was also present and intimidating for when Danny was about to get beaten up, wearing the same red shirt as the ones who threw a punch at Danny, helping to surround him and doing nothing to de-escalate.
If my intuition is right on these things- and its ALWAYS right on these things – I’m pretty sure that this Beef was sent back in time by General Donna Mae Warner, Leader of the Resistance against the Soggies, to save Mike Warner, who is in danger of being killed before he and Amber can conceive humanity’s last hope or something.
No, but this really isn’t a good look. Especially since she’s here to meet her boyfriend(?)
Sees one hot guy and just dives straight into openly objectifying him. Same behavior Jacob objected to, but without even the fragile friendship they’d built.
She’s not flustered or googly-eyed, though. I think this is just a one-off joke about how technically Beef is her type, which Willis won’t be building on.
The forgotten Walkerton sibling in both universes.
… actually, it’d be a huge twist if he was actually half-siblings to Walky and Sal.
It’d make the timeline with Linda and the Dean a LOT more wonky.
Since Beef has almost never appeared in this comic, people are discussing his appearances in the series “It’s Walky!” in which he plays a much much bigger role.
In that series, he was introduced as Walky’s twin brother.
Because the villain who caused that sequence of events is only a cartoon character here, Walky and Beef have never met.
Also in that universe, Linda was married to Anthony McHenry Sr. for a while, and he’s the Dean here.
To recognize when there is a contradiction between information that someone is receiving and the knowledge and beliefs that someone has, and to create a need to resolve that discrepancy in a logical way, rather than to simply ignore it or make broad assumptions.
Orcas! I just checked the “Beef must have shown up often” claim by looking at his tag and the first time he showed up was the first scene with Amazi-Girl. Then he was there just to be dismissed, then he was at a scene where our scar faced friend was who got beat up by Amazi-Girl, then he was a background character. I really hope for Sarah that the pattern I noticed isn’t true because next up in the pattern is someone deserving gets fought by Amazi-Girl
I also didn’t mean to hit report on my own comment, definitely seems a design issue (atleast on mobile) that report and reply are that close to each other
translation: hey there pretty lady
translation: Enough about you, let’s talk about me, Beef.
translation: Man I /am/ pretty
(yes I am just pretending beef is Johnny Bravo at this point why not)
Loading ...
what’s his Beef?
I know. He is being something of a bull-y.
Nah, nah, nah. He’s wanting her to praise him for knowing how to open a door.
He stunned from giving a prolonged squawk.
But is he shagged out?
I don’t understand how we didn’t see this coming.
Sarah just has a beefcake smorgasbord coming up
Live with me if you want to come
I sincerely hope that you came up with that originally, because that is pure genius. My respects.
They did not.
I hope willis deletes every comment on this page except for this one, just to really cement it in as the best to ever do it
10/10 no notes
Best proposal ever.
I may not be a big strong man, but I do have tears in my eyes.
congratulations on being featured on the Willis bluesky
WHAT
…That’s Duke Nukem.
Can’t be, he isn’t quoting Bruce Campbell or Roddy Piper.
…Probably. I must confess, I don’t speak Grunt very well.
He’s, uh, still waking up from a nap.
Even Groot uses more words than Beef.
Somehow even less well spoken.
Six years later, Beef returns!
This is also the first time he’s had lines in 15 years!
Truly he is a man of few
wordsgrunts“Lines” is obviously stretching it a little.
Not much of a vocabulary, is it? Not it isn’t.
Where’s the beef?
I knew someone would throw this line out.
Finally Walkyverse best character make his triumphant return!
I’m with Sarah. XD
Max Headroom?
Ironically he doesn’t seem to have enough headroom at all.
Beef has gotten away with so much bullshit for how little he says and how little he appears.
I didn’t expect this height issue of Sarah’s to actually become a real, reoccuring thing that might break down her first real relationship.
It might not! But we’ll see.
I believe she likes Tony enough that she is willing to go outside her comfort zone for it, both emotionally and physically.
I don’t think it’ll be an issue, ultimately, she still seemed plenty willing to get railed by Tony.
You can find people attractive that you wouldn’t date and be surprised in being attracted to people that don’t have all your preferences. I think Sarah has been discovering that.
Sarah, don’t make him have Beef with his probably roommate
I thiiiink they said Tony has his own room, I could be wrong, though. Beef may just be visiting since football.
They must just live in the same hall. Background lore seems to be implying that at least. They all definitely know each other.
The football team to be specific. Don’t know why I didn’t type that.
Beef lives in McNutt.
Well, that strip aged like milk
I mean it WOULD be on brand for Robin to somehow be completely ignorant of all the nonsense happening outside her focus zone.
also this non-bonus strip, titled “McNutt”, lol.
Interestingly, in the comments on that strip someone pointed out that through no fault of his own, Beef always appears just before major bad things start to happen in the strip.
I haven’t verified, but if true he’s like DC’s Pariah.
Finally, an answer to the question, “Where’s the Beef?”
He’s the wall that isn’t painted.
Honey, the new threesome just dropped!
Sarah breathes heavy at the thought of a TSB sandwich.
Beef is one of those guys that I figured would always be basically a background gag, so it’s kind of fun to see him get… I guess you could call this a spotlight strip.
strong, grunting type
If he says he’s got Beef, that I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t scared of him
That’s so Suet.
*grunts*
Oh, hey, Beef!
You’re not the Tony she’s looking for!
Quite an impressive buffer, May the 4th be with you, Willis. <3
*plays Star Wars Theme on hacked muzak*
Oh hey, there’s the Beef!
Beef seems to be a perpetual bystander to Bad Stuff Going Down
or participant
Brace for incoming Walkyverse nostalgia posting!
Sal and Walky’s brother!
Switched at birth. In this universe, no switch
I want to believe that Beef is DoA’s version of Morn from DS9
Constantly chatting about everything, but never on-camera.
he’ll blab your ear off if you let him
Tony has a single, but Beef probably lives next door. To the left.
…none roommate with left Beef.
+1
-1
oh, well played.
Hmm?
No comprendo.
It’s a reference to an internet meme about an absurd pizza order made through an app that let you put in things no human should eat.
Here I dug it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_Pizza_with_Left_Beef
Huh. Ok, thanks! I appreciate the explanation!
It’s an older meme, but it checks out.
boo hiss shoelaces etc
Boy I kind of hope he’s Walky’s brother in this universe too
He wasn’t there either, technically
Maybe the yet-to-be-revealed twist is that Beef is Walky’s brother in this universe, somehow.
You thought it would be Tony, but IT WAS I! BEEF!
Maybe they’ll both join the same frat someday.
I don’t see Beef mattering in the future, any more than he’s mattered in the past.
Main antagonist of spring semester.
At least it’s not another dad.
but yes. he’s been little more than a prop so far. a giant goon to make a group more menacing, a punchline, background decoration. The most he’s been is a sounding board who doesn’t really reply, twice now.
I mean, that’s what they thought in the Walkyverse…
I will never learn who Beef Walkyverse is. Never ever.
In which Sarah considers fucking one of the enemies from Quake.
well at least now I know how to do an emptypost
this was supposed to be “[Grunt]” but I used the > brackets that mark HTML tags
<Grunt>
For reference, that was (&)lt(;)Grunt(&)gt(;) but without the parentheses.
<Grunt&>
Aw, I screwed it up.
And… I guess that should actually be >Grunt<? >_>
I forgot about Beef, but then we haven’t seen him much in DoA. I wonder if we’ll ever see him talk. If not I wonder if there’s an in-universe explanation for why he only grunts.
My translation of the Beefsteak:
“Yes, milady? What can I do for you?”
“Terribly sorry, Tony has a single room across the hall. He isn’t in though.”
(Responding to Sarah’s compliment) “You flatter me, miss.”
“I’ll tell him you’ve been by when he returns. Cheers!”
Sorry should have read Beefspeak not steak
No, no. You had it right the first time. Works perfectly.
He’s totally wearing a fedora right now, but we just can’t see it because of the top of the door frame.
Such a gentleman.
Offensive linemen generally are
he’s an inoffensive lineman
Hah, good one.
Beats being defensive
Oh Willis, I assume Beef’s proper name here is Steven Waters, as he was never switched at birth?
Walters and yes
Thanks
“Sorry, my Grunt is a little rusty. Could you repeat that?”
Finally. I’ve been waiting for Beef’s time in the spotlight.
BEEF!
Honestly I know he’s a whole different Beef but I’m still holding a Walkyverse grudge over his betrayal.
Oh apparently his character was introduced bullying Danny with his two buddies. And letting them beat up Danny.
So yeah grudge firmly justified.
WE HAVE BEEF!
Yo when did they de-age Arnold and send him to College?
the actual Doorman
The Okami Blockhead, you need to strike his weak points to pass
Oh my god, fuck that son of a bongo. That rat bastard held up my bead collection for an unforgivable amount of time.
yey beef
it’s also been 6 years since he’s shown up damn
I didn’t expect Duke Nukem :O
Beef’s grunts provided by special guest star Jon St. John.
Should I know this guy?
Yes, but only because there are other Willis comics you should binge.
Click on his name in the tags for previous in-universe appearances.
I had no idea we’d seen this guy before, but based on perusing the tag, he’s always in the wirst places/situations. I don’t think I like him.
Also, Sarah, no.
Sigh, *worst*
Could have been worse, could have been wurst…
Beef, du wirst immer …
It’s good idea to never trust Beef. I hope Sarah doesnt have anything more to do with him.
Per the tags, he was there when Amazi-Girl and Sal followed the roofying rapist-wannabe and then fought the bros. But Beef was just there; he didn’t say or do anything.
He was also present and intimidating for when Danny was about to get beaten up, wearing the same red shirt as the ones who threw a punch at Danny, helping to surround him and doing nothing to de-escalate.
Where’s the Beef?
Oh, there he is.
Beef: The Fifth Wall
If my intuition is right on these things- and its ALWAYS right on these things – I’m pretty sure that this Beef was sent back in time by General Donna Mae Warner, Leader of the Resistance against the Soggies, to save Mike Warner, who is in danger of being killed before he and Amber can conceive humanity’s last hope or something.
… hey, nobody said Beef was *good* at his job.
That’s alarmingly plausible.
The start of a love triangle?
Is Sarah worse than Joe was, then?
By what metric?
No.
No. What even lead to that question?
No, but this really isn’t a good look. Especially since she’s here to meet her boyfriend(?)
Sees one hot guy and just dives straight into openly objectifying him. Same behavior Jacob objected to, but without even the fragile friendship they’d built.
She’s not flustered or googly-eyed, though. I think this is just a one-off joke about how technically Beef is her type, which Willis won’t be building on.
Just a guess, though.
Possible. Not sure I buy it though. I think he’s doing something more interesting with Sarah’s arc and this fits it too well.
Agree to disagree on whether that would be more interesting, heh.
I feel like Sarah already experienced appropriate consequences for how she treated Jacob.
Noooo! Cursed scene change!
of course beef is tony’s roomate.
…n’t be a trap, please don’t be a trap, please don’t be a trap, please do…
Telling every buff man you meet exactly how horny you are about them because you’re so good at communication now
The forgotten Walkerton sibling in both universes.
… actually, it’d be a huge twist if he was actually half-siblings to Walky and Sal.
It’d make the timeline with Linda and the Dean a LOT more wonky.
People keep saying things about Tony and Beed being related to the twins, despite the complete lack of evidence for it.
Since Beef has almost never appeared in this comic, people are discussing his appearances in the series “It’s Walky!” in which he plays a much much bigger role.
In that series, he was introduced as Walky’s twin brother.
Because the villain who caused that sequence of events is only a cartoon character here, Walky and Beef have never met.
Also in that universe, Linda was married to Anthony McHenry Sr. for a while, and he’s the Dean here.
That last was in this universe, but people keep wanting to extend some variation of the relationship between Beef/Walky from the Walkyverse into DoA
I’m aware of those things from that comic. They’re not a point of confusion.
Then what is it?
What is what?
The point of confusion.
To recognize when there is a contradiction between information that someone is receiving and the knowledge and beliefs that someone has, and to create a need to resolve that discrepancy in a logical way, rather than to simply ignore it or make broad assumptions.
There isn’t one.
@Bork I have no idea what you mean with this.
They’re explaining what the point of confusion itself is, as a concept, because your wording was ambiguous enough to allow for a gag.
That is annoying.
It’s fine.
It made me laugh.
Brother from another mother. and father. who’ve never met, nor have any of their parents, nor are any of them related.
Yes, it’s fun.
How ironic would it be if Beef’s Major was English Communication?
Orcas! I just checked the “Beef must have shown up often” claim by looking at his tag and the first time he showed up was the first scene with Amazi-Girl. Then he was there just to be dismissed, then he was at a scene where our scar faced friend was who got beat up by Amazi-Girl, then he was a background character. I really hope for Sarah that the pattern I noticed isn’t true because next up in the pattern is someone deserving gets fought by Amazi-Girl
I did not mean to type “orcas!” there.
I also didn’t mean to hit report on my own comment, definitely seems a design issue (atleast on mobile) that report and reply are that close to each other
honestly he’s only in the political rally scene because Sal says “beef” in a sentence and I thought it’d be funny if that summoned him
Okay, you were correct; that IS funny!
I kinda hope we start seeing more of Beef, I just realized that he has potential to be a such an interesting character in the dumbiverse.
Yeah, standing around grunting has so much potential.
Hey, some people don’t have that deep of communication skills, doesn’t necessarily make them shallow people.
Irrelevant.
BEEF IS HERE
Sarah: Wait. Physical Adonis, taller than me, doesn’t speak?? He checks ALL of my check boxes! Unless… is your penis… proportional?
Beef: *grunt*
Sarah: …*bites lip* I’ll take that as a yes! *jumps him*
Now, there’s a thought. I’m not sure any of these characters have expressed a preference for dick size.
translation: hey there pretty lady
translation: Enough about you, let’s talk about me, Beef.
translation: Man I /am/ pretty
(yes I am just pretending beef is Johnny Bravo at this point why not)
Do we have confirmation of Beef’s last name?
I’m hoping it’s Wellington.
Or maybe Stroganoff? (maybe if Sarah wasn’t already seeing Tony…).
It’s Walters, which was always the name of his biological parents. He was raised by them in this universe.
Yeah dunno why I had it as Waters. Me and my horrible old guy memory
Beef.
It’s what’s for dinner.
