          I don’t think that’s it. Amber may be sort of considering it but Walky is still very much in love. It also wouldn’t actually solve his problem or make himself feel any less like garbage. If anything, it would make him feel worse as he would definitely view it as cheating on Dorothy.

          I found myself playing with the idea that she hacks his grades or something like that, but this is ‘minors can’t drink’ Amber.

          I get the feeling this is going to be anti-climatic and her suggestion is that she tutors him.

      “Hopefully”? Speak for yourself.

      Both Walky and Amber are fragile right now. Las thing they need is more confusion in their lives. Lets say they do have sex. What happens if/when Amber figures out Walky is Sal’s brother? What happens to Amber and Danny’s friendship (something Amber probably needs) if he finds out the girl he is probably still attracted to is having sex with the same guy that his previous girlfriend was with?

      Never mind the fact that the 2 of them are probably completely unsuited for each other for anything long term.

        Who says sex has to include anything long-term or confusing?

        “I’m stressed, you’re stressed, fancy a shag?” is a classic that never goes out of style.

          ….they live and study together.
          the longterm is *built in*

          but i think i hear what you’re trying to say

          …
          ..plus he’s the genderbent version of Amber’s “subconscious proof” of being “evil” or whatever she’s afraid her father made/gave her. (stabbing Sal was the turning point of her being hypershy to snapping and acting like her abusive father, hence Sal as the object of “proof”) so THAT’s not gonna be confusing for anyone down the road………

          ….(on the other hand, that would be an interesting way for her to overcome her personality disorder, by ….”tackling” it in such a way. a bit like immunization? XD lower-dose exposure and manipulation of somatic response. XD XD XD)

          so yaaaaaa GENERALLY you’re right on this, but with these characters there’s some built in drama already in play. =P

          ahahaha okay i now have no preference for them doin it either way.
          come on. Dorothy would get off to her man bangin her hero-crush. XD when they eventually make up, it’ll be a turn on. XD XD XD

          Possible, but neither of them have shown any signs of being that casual about it. They’ve each only been with one person, while in a serious relationship. I suspect both have all sorts of assumptions about sex and relationships that wouldn’t just easily vanish, even if they agreed to a casual shag.
          And given that, as whitt says, they live right on top of each other, there’s going to be some kind of longterm relationship here. Whether it’s romantic, friendly or hostile, there’s going to be something.

          Besides, I like them as friends. They don’t have to jump into bed.

                  Nope, Jane Seymour died in childbirth. And we honestly don’t have a ton of evidence Anne Boleyn was actually guilty of anything she was accused of, he was looking for a way to get rid of her after she miscarried a son.

                  I’ve gotta wonder what would happen to the royal succession if people started producing new babies from long-dead monarchs. I guess the easiest way would be declaring them illegitimate (which I mean, true) and that anyway, the Tudors no longer have a dynastic claim?

                  Proooobably for the best for any countries with surviving monarchies that we don’t have the technology for this. Though the legal arguments would be kind of hilarious.

            And remember, Amazi-Girl fought, and Amazi-Girl lost.

            She’s been trying to deliberately work against the Amazi-Girl persona.

            Honestly, hacking the system is what I think she would most likely suggest.

        Not that. She knows quite well that doesn’t remove the stab.

    I hope Amber is suggesting helping him study and not become a vigilante. In that scenario he will become the Nite Owl II of her Rorschach. Option C is they have sex, but I think that is too soon and too toxic for their mental health at the moment.

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

This @bransonreese.bsky.social four panel is never completely out of my head.
Four panel comic by Brandon Reese titled Animal Crackers.  In each panel Groucho Marx is speaking.

1 - One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas 
2 - How I worked up the courage to kill a living thing I'll never know.
3 - (silent)
4 - They mourn their dead, as we do.
