      Amber and him were never official, I think that’s the thing rather than a joke at Amber’s DID’s expense.

      He dated Lucy very briefly. That’s probably the .5. He had more of a relationship with Amber, since they dated for a while before breaking up. Lucy and him survived 3½ dates or so?

        Amber and Walky’s situationship started https://www.dumbingofage.com/2018/comic/book-8/04-of-mike-and-men/fresh-3/ which was October 13, and was pretty on-and-off until Halloween when it settled firmly into off (2 and a half weeks). At no point did they define a relationship beyond fooling around and it-doesn’t-count-on-garbage-roof, and they had no formal dates.

        Lucy and Walky started dating, with Walky formally asking Lucy out on a date, https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/romantic-2/ January 12 and broke up https://www.dumbingofage.com/2023/comic/book-14/02-its-the-love-i-havent-got/navigate/ January 23 (a week and a half). While they did not have sex, they definitely went on dates and repeatedly referred to one another as boyfriend and girlfriend.

          Actually, it’s Dorothy, 1.5 (dated, broke up, got back together); Amber, 0.5 (FWB); Lucy, 0.5 (three dates).

            Actually, Dorothy, Amber, and Lucy all count as 1, but the breakup burn with Lucy was so bad that Walky ended up owing her 0.5 afterwards.

          I don’t know that Walky’s counting the person as half so much as the relationship. Fully being in a relationship, with Amber or AG, would count as 1.

            I assumed Lucy was the .5 due to what a clusterfuck it was from start to finish/they dated but by his own admission he wasn’t *that* into her.

              I’d count Dorothy and Lucy as full points, Amber as half a point because they were never really “official” and he ruined things before they got to that point.

              Amber&Walky are still endgame as far as I’m concerned. They had chemistry, dammit!

          Danny was technically still dating Dorothy at the comic’s start. The breakup only happened once the two were both already in college.

        Depends on counting (do you count Danny as 1 for Amber even though it was AG who dated him, but they weren’t really split at the time?). But it seems like 1.5 for her, and Joyce and Lucy have had two. (Of course, one of Joyce’s was Ethan.)

          I think Amber has a conversation or I guess internal conflict about this dynamic. Being resentful of things being done for one aspect of herself or belonging to one aspect of herself when the reality is it still applies to both of them.

        They’re missing half the squad, though. It’s just Mandy, Grace, and Sierra. Marcie doesn’t appear to have hooked up with them, and Guns didn’t make the cut for this universe. So just two girlfriends each.

          I mean, seems plausible that at least one of them could have already had at least one girlfriend under their belt before joining up with the polycule, so that number could potentially go up.

      Ethan’s slept around a bit, before Mike’s death. That may bring his total above 3. Mike, Asher, and a whole pile o’ fuck buddies.

        But Ethan’s have been unnamed flings; Mike and Asher are really the only boyfriends.

        But if you’re not counting gender, then Ethan’s got everyone beat, at four. Amber, Joyce, Mike, Asher.

          Also, Mike miiiiight object to being called a ‘boyfriend’.

          The ‘friend’ part, in particular. Casual hookup, he’d be okay with.

            Yeah, I wouldn’t count Mike as a boyfriend. Not even that he’d object to it, just that it was never established, and I don’t think Ethan knew there were real romantic feelings there.

        Waldo actually being called Wally in the UK will never not break my brain. The worst part is, there doesn’t seem to be any concrete reason for it; the American publishers seemingly just didn’t like “Wally”.

              Well using the word depending is just as valid to describe any situation involving subjective opinions outside of the comic too so you getting worked up about a perfectly normal and functional word in the english language remains a weird response regardless.

          Are you familiar with the Frequency Illusion?

          a person notices a phenomenon more frequently after recently becoming aware of it.

          An ngram comparison of “depending” vs some synonyms and antonyms doesn’t indicate any particular spike in usage, and actually shows “depending”s usage decreasing over the past decade.

      Walky is still reeling from the Incelerator bit from a few days back. Those words hit him harder than he let on. All three of those relationships ended with him getting dumped and i think that’s started to make him question how he treats women in general and dissect a lot of internalized beliefs. Walky is VERY good at hiding his thoughts though.

        Honestly, I don’t think it’s a “how he treats women” thing, as much as a “how bad he is at relationships” thing. All three of the women he’s been with have been different situations, and he’s acted differently with each of them, so painting it with the Women Brush™ might be missing the forest for a specific tree. With Dorothy, he was brand-new to dating and didn’t know how to manage it (not helped by Dorothy unintentionally yo-yoing him a bit), with Amber it was almost purely physical with an emphasis on being unserious and not acknowledging feelings (taken way too far on Halloween), and with Lucy there was such a a disparity in expectations it’s a shock they lasted so long. Incelerator’s whole thing is that he blames women for everything that’s ever gone wrong in his life, and I think Walky as a character isn’t stupid enough to think anything that creep said was applicable to his own life.

          He already kinda has though. https://www.dumbingofage.com/2024/comic/book-15/02-the-one-where-jocelyne-returns/youllgetit/

          It’s a subtle panel but he definitely picked up on more than a few things that he’s refusing to talk about with others. Walky definitely has problems with coasting and expecting life to eventually treat him well in the end. IDK someone smarter than me could probably explain it better especially when i’m currently waiting to see what the actual characters themselves have to say about the matter.

            That read, to me, more like he’s worried Dorothy has come back to him because her confidence got knocked/she’s in crisis/she’s suffered some blows to her confidence. Less like he’s been treating women poorly though, of course, everyone in a relationship at that age (and any age) does some damage to the people they date just through lack of awareness or maturity.

              That’s how I read it too. It plays into Walky’s poor self-image, but not how he treats women– maybe slightly aligned with something the Incelerator said, hearing about how a woman (specifically, Dorothy) wouldn’t be with him if things were going how she wanted. Which hurts, but he doesn’t want her to feel like that, like the Incelerator does.

                Good way to put it. The “crawl back to him” definitely seemed like it hurt, but not in the way the Incelerator intended it or in the sense that he thought he’d been making her do that or even waiting for her to do it, but in the sense of reinforcing how close to the bottom she must be to come back to him and also hitting his self-esteem issues: she’ll only come back to me if she’s really messed up.

          The break up with Dorothy at least wasn’t due to any of his own problems. That was all on her: mostly her overwork/stress. He handled that as well as anyone could be expected, even if they’d had more dating experience.

          That doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have plenty of self-doubt or that he doesn’t blame himself. I don’t really see how the Incelerator’s words would play into those doubts though. He’s not going to agree with them and none of the issues he does have come from treating women anything like that.

        That seems most likely, although some might argue that Amber is the 1 and Lucy is the .5, because he slept with Amber and not with Lucy (at least, not in the euphemistic sense).

        For the record, that’s a very dumb bullshit way of viewing it, but… I mean, Walky’s been an asshole on occasion.

        Yeah, I am sure there is someone else he is jazzed about, but I can’t think of them. It’s more common for him to express skepticism about, like Joe with Joyce, or be outright disapproving of, like with Ruth due to power imbalance and protectiveness of Billie.

            By mass, 14% of the human is bone. By Volume, around 11%.
            These are averages, of course, a skinnier person would have a bigger percentage of bone, and an overweight person would have a lower percentage.

      Between Walky cutting girls in half and Jacob harvesting their arms we have huge problem. Women on campus are getting dismembered and no one is talking about it!

      Also my selfish hope is that the big confrontation that Alice and Jennifer face is Raidah trying to tear them apart before Alice protect Jennifer and then Jennifer embraces the name Billie and a kiss from Alice

    But seriously why does the autocorrect insist so much on changing “Walky” with “Wally”? It’s like “walkie” but with a Y. You’d think that after years of typing “Walky” the algorithm would take the hint but nope.

      My name is Wiman but autocorrect always changes it to Woman and I’m like; “Thanks for the thought AC but I think that’s beyond your powers.”

      I’ve known multiple faculty from India who just started using anglicized names and I don’t get it because their Indian names were spelled exactly like they sound.

    I enjoy the implication that in all their years of high school, Alice kept getting Walky’s name wrong and Jennifer/Billie never once corrected her/explained his name to her. And now she is just doing it fairly casually, and Alice finds it cute. I dunno, I know there are still lots of problems here, but that in itself is a nice moment I think.

    Orrr maybe it’s just because Walky got a glow up and is now worthy of having a correct name. Hard to say lmao

    I’m waiting for Raidah to see “Billy” and Alice in passing, and the shit to really hit the fan. Even though they’ve never met, I get the impression Alice and Raidah would really hate each other, and especially hate Billy “changing” herself for the other – Raidah disapproving of her backsliding, and Alice insulted by the fake image she tries to put on around Raidah.

    Still a little lost about the squealing-tires speed of Alice’s turnaround on Billie, via an off screen talk with Ruth. I think it just made it a little hard for me to follow their dynamic.

    On the other hand, I know there were people wishing Billie harm that Willis had to block, so I understand if the rapid 180 was a reaction to that! Maybe a little “you know what, Billie gets to have a GREAT day actually”.

      It might be that Alice never actually got over her infatuation with Billie, so any sign of improvement is enough to let her ignore any doubts.

      It’ll be interesting to see how she reacts when Jennifer does do something self-destructive in front of her again.

        Also, I’d wager Joyce is getting a boost to her friendship powers from her being a lesbian love sleuth, because Jennifer’s motivations here seem to be pretty damn romantic. Check her expression every time she looks at Alice. Joyce is in her element here, getting Alice to soften up.

    ….I’ll be dog-gonned. Our Billie/Jennifer really is like. Changing a little. I’d been half thinking ‘alright, maybe if shes around alice she kinda stabilizes into High School Billy’, but. High School Billie aint tellin that story, or stopping to sit with Walky.

    Maybe shes. Actually. Really, truly. Doing…. a little better.

    The longer it goes on, the more awkward it will be if Jennifer decides to stay “Jennifer.”

    Why is she not correcting? Is she afraid that Alice will flake out and ditch her if she tells her she’s wanted to *really* turn over a new leaf?

    Hang on a minute. Haaang on a minute.

    …

    Alice came back not because of Jennifer, but because of her friends. Because Joyce went to bat for her. Because Ruth helped her out. Because she looked “loved.”

    “Jennifer” was a rejection of all that. “Jennifer” was leaving the friend group behind as “toxic” and instead starting up a new friendship with Raidah and Co. “Jennifer” was only interested in her old friends if they *needed* help, like Dorothy, or Joyce. Not for actually being friends.

    Holy shit. “Jennifer” wasn’t the one who changed. “Jennifer” was simply a reestablishment of the status quo that she lost when leaving high school. She found the “in” crowd, the people with connections, and climbed to the top. Jennifer was the person who was petty enough to neglect her boyfriend simply so that he’d come crawling back underneath her thumb, because he dared to act like himself, instead of like a mask. The most that changed about Jennifer was her hair.

    Billie was the one who changed. Billie was the one who made friends with people she’d never dream of before. Who had a close, personal, loving relationship. Who embraced the dork side of her, dressing up in Star Wars regalia. Who started getting counseling. Who was accepted for who she was, and not who she pretended to be. Not Jennifer. Billie.

    OK, I know that the tags still say “Jennifer,” but she’s clearly accepting being called both at the moment, so she’s Billie for me, from here on out, unless she reestablishes her preference.

      Billie is an alcoholic who almost killed herself, Alice, and Ruth.

      Jennifer doesn’t drink.

      That alone says that Billie is dead and good riddance.

        And yes, I lost multiple family members to drunk driving accidents. My brother and my cousin. I have others who have struggled with alcoholism too.

        So I always am on Jennifer’s side in overcoming this.

        It’s also why I overreact to Ruth’s issues since she’s back to drinking.

        She stopped drinking as Billie. She starting using Jennifer after meeting Raidah. She hasn’t talked about why she changed the name or what it means to her. I suspect we’ll see. Possibly soon if Alice using “Billie” is a clue.

          According to the flashbacks in in This Is Halloween, it seems like Raidah is the one who decided to use “Jennifer”, and ignored Billie when she tried to correct her. To me she’s always really been Billie; “Jennifer” has always just been a capitulation to Raidah’s bullshit and a rebellion after the Ruth fiasco, sort of her version of the stereotypical “chop off all your hair after a breakup” scene.

          Thank you, was going to say that. Stopping drinking was a choice that she made as Billie, not as Jennifer.

          Besides – this isn’t an Amber scenario. I know I refer to Jennifer and Billie as two different people, but they’re really not – they’re just two different ways she’s choosing to show herself to the world. The same exact person drank and drive and nearly killed herself, Alice, and Ruth. “Jennifer” isn’t absolved because she doesn’t drink; Jennifer doesn’t drink because of a decision and a promise she made as Billie.

          Besides, if she was at a social gathering with Raidah where it was important to make connections, I’m not entirely sure that Jennifer would turn down alcohol if offered. It seems more likely that she would follow the crowd while rationalizing that the new her has tons of self-control.

While stretch and squash has always been harder with CGI animation (especially in the 90's), leading to animation that's very stiff in SOME ways, check out how Quickstrike jerks forward a hair before jerking himself back. Skilled animators worked on Beast Wars and it shows, despite the limitations.
