I had never heard of Governor/Commissioner/Administrator/Ambassador Paul McNutt before I googled him tonight, but now I want to know more. Had FDR not decided to run for a third term, he could have been a presidential contender; his IU roommate was FDR’s opponent in that election.
the University I studied at was renamed in 1986…. originally the new name was “Curtin Unversity of New Technology”
It took prnting the new degree certificate for them to realise that was a less than ideal name
(they went with CUT insead, and recently switched to CU)
Joyce is a quantum shipper AND this is Billie’s suggested couple. Joyce will be all on board for it (unless she and Lucy rub each other the wrong way, which I still think would be hilarious).
my dorm is colloquially known by a man’s name because of its abbreviation (we’re IVAN. the neighboring dorm is IVAS.) but that is nowhere near McNutt on the “how easy is it to make stupid jokes about this building” scale. but given that a cooking magazine we have wrote an article referencing how cashew milk is the “thickest nut milk” in a completely factual manner while i, a 25-year-old human person, could not stop my brain from going There, it’s just a given.
Walky, you were so close but maybe just laugh rather than injure yourself or just do the single “snerk” exhale laugh when you can’t hold it. I’m sure there is a better way to describe it but I’m tired and my brain isn’t cooperating.
I think Walky should take a vacation in Britain over the winter break. His itinerary should include Scongahorpe, Didling, Nob End, Broad Bottom, and Cock End.
He could finish up with a trip on the continent, visiting the German town of Wank, and the Austrian town of Fucking.
Wow! How self-referential! I just discovered a forum filter i didn’t know existed. And it perfectly illustrates the S-Cee-U-En-Tee-horpe problem!
I stopped using the c-word 15 years ago, on the basis that it is an inherently sexist derogation for which no male analog exists. I might call Billie an alpha bongo, but I will never call her a conga.
Well, I’m guess I’m glad that the censored word doesn’t come up often enough here for the replacement to be common knowledge. (Though I think I remember a fairly recent, probably deleted comment, that made use of it, so perhaps it’s a more recent filter? Or perhaps it was all a dream.)
Reminds me of how you can’t say “grape” or “skill” on Neopets.
Once upon a time in RuneScape the word “fletching” was censored in the chat, for a very brief period of time, because while it could be considered a workaround for saying “felching,” I GUESS, it also happens to be the name of a skill in the game.
“So what are you guys doing?”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“… crafting bows and arrows.”
At one job I dissected a client’s blocked email almost word by word, and discovered that the algorithm was blocking the location name in the subject: New Milford.
It just occurred to me that if Lucy is the equivalent of Joyce but in the other hall, then this ship is only a step away from the Joyce and Walky of the other universe.
I had a friend from way back with the last name Kunz. She married a guy with the last name Seymour. They considered hyphenating the last name, but then thought better of it
I was going to make a joke about their last tape, but then I thought about Spalding Gray’s performance of “Krapp’s Last Tape,” which I actually saw on video, and Spalding said it better than anyone else could: “I feel pretty close to this play as I often work with a tape recorder and often feel like crap.”
I bet twins hate people thinking that there’s anything special about their relationship other than sharing a birthday. Centuries of fiction on the subject has a lot to answer for!
1) you’re right and i hate it 2) so what IS the roof of your mouth? is it where that specific bit of bone ends? is it the top of the skull? is it in the sinuses somewhere??
Lucy is too much like Walky in temperament.opposites attract and such. There’s no mystery at all. That they get on so well otherwise will prove to be a continual source of frustration. I’m thinking, like, Elliot and J.D. from Scrubs.
Opposites don’t attract though. People like people who are similar to themselves that are different in some ways that allow them to complement each other but not all ways. People don’t actually like people that have nothing in common with them, no overlap in interests, literally no similarities to themselves and that are difficult to get along with in every possible way.
I didn’t mean absolute opposites. You’re straw manning.
I’m just saying what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.
I am fully aware and am troubled by of the racial implications of comparing Lucy to Dorothy and Amber, but it’s becoming increasingly clear Walky, for all his exuberant geekiness, likes complimenting divergent personalities.
“what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.”
Shes attractive, she, at best, has a similar sense of humor to Walky and at worst understands why Walky would find McNutt amusing, shes helpful and considerate to her friends, tries to see the best in people and doesn’t appear to have much in the way of baggage (in comparison to others) which is what Walky needs right now given everything thats going on
“likes complimenting divergent personalities”
Maybe, hes very young and has very little experience of girls or relationships so its too early to tell whether thats his thing or it just happened to be a matter of timing (especially in Ambers case)
True Twin Storytime: my brother and I do weekly online gaming with some friends, and in a lull between boardgames we poked around a F2P Monster Hunter-like last week. No coordination, no planning, he and I show up to find that we’d made near-identical characters. Same hair, same skin color, same facial features, we didn’t even make ones that looked like us or anything.
I know the feeling all too well Walky. I had to resist the urge to not cackle at the this set of lines from Kevin Kwan’s “Rich People Problems” (third in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy)
The bishop adjusted his collar, looking slightly uncomfortable. “Well, Victoria, we really can’t force your mother to be baptized, but perhaps we can pray that she will allow Jesus Christ into her heart. We have to let Jesus come into her softly, gently…”
Someone is citing the MA constitutional provision explicitly allowing the state to impede federal marshals enforcing the fugitive slave act, DAMN the average citizen is radicalized
you’re laughing. the largest antebellum plantation house burned down & there are brides who will not get to spiritually absorb the poisoned spectral energy of the land for their big day, & you’re laughing.

today in #9chickweedlane i learned we have to be shown children learning and relearning what sex is, for Reasons, even though they already clearly know and have prepared nuanced questions about it!

OMG, that’s a real thing? Holy shit. I’m with Walky on this one.
I, too, often must hold myself back when it comes to McNutt.
Red-haired clowns ejaculating… oh boy…
I’m amazed that Willis managed to so accurately represent in text, the sound made when snerking. xD
The school knew what they were doing, I’m sure.
My university has a building called Cocke Hall, appropriately enough home to Classics and Philosophy.
My school has, no joke, a building named “The Richard Woodcock Building”.
We call it the Triple Dick Building.
For a public university, naming a building after one of the most powerful governors in your state’s recent history is probably not such a bad idea.
He was also an IU alumnus and professor.
If only his name was Richard.
I still maintain they knew what they were doing when they chose that particular individual.
I had never heard of Governor/Commissioner/Administrator/Ambassador Paul McNutt before I googled him tonight, but now I want to know more. Had FDR not decided to run for a third term, he could have been a presidential contender; his IU roommate was FDR’s opponent in that election.
An election between college roommates would certainly be interesting…
Just imagine all the sordid stories about their time as college roomies that would’ve inevitably come to light during the campaign! xD
the University I studied at was renamed in 1986…. originally the new name was “Curtin Unversity of New Technology”
It took prnting the new degree certificate for them to realise that was a less than ideal name
(they went with CUT insead, and recently switched to CU)
I’m waiting for a dorm to be named after one of the Bayhs.
“Where do you live?”
“Bayh.”
“By what?”
<insert extended contrived "Who's on first?" rip-off?
By Bayh.
Oh, well, goodbye.
It’s not bad.
What?
Bayh.
“Other than the telepathy?”
Feeling well enough to let his sense of humor show.
Either that or he’s playing it up as a coping mechanism like Becky does.
He’s facetiously mentioned having “twin-telepathy” to Billie before, I assumed this was a callback to that:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2011/comic/book-1/05-media-rumble/link-2/
Wow, the art style’s evolved a lot.
*reads that strip* Wait, what!? He DOESN’T have twin telepathy? Are you f**king KIDDING me?
Sometimes you feel like a Nut…
…sometimes you don’t.
McNutt is what happens when you eat McRib.
Hopefully that is done in the privacy of your home and not at the McDonald’s.
Just so nobody brings a dead raccoon to the McDonald’s.
it’s not his fault that he discovered one of the secret ingredients that make the McRib so tasty!
You jest, but if I found out the secret ingredient to the McRib was raccoon, my immediate reaction would be, “I need to eat more raccoon.”
Even Joyce would agree that these two should definitely start dating
Noooo
I don’t know what Lucys power is but shes even managing to make Walky less annoying just by her very presence
I’m sure that has entirely to do with Lucy’s “power” and not any bias you might have for this ship.
I certainly do have a bias for these two and strips like this aren’t helping
I am into this ship.
Joyce is a quantum shipper AND this is Billie’s suggested couple. Joyce will be all on board for it (unless she and Lucy rub each other the wrong way, which I still think would be hilarious).
They could actually be wholesome. How’s Lucy managing to make Walky WHOLESOME
I’m not ready to get off the garbage ship yet
I know that you are aware of this, but I want to prove this for the occasional readers:
Joyce is defintely onboard of this ship!.
Ain’t gonna lie, I was tempted to laugh too
Nobody tell Walky the name of Rube Goldberg’s comic strip.
Goldberg had serveral strips. I imagine you’re referring to “Boob McNutt.”
Boob McNutt was syndicated by McNaught.
my dorm is colloquially known by a man’s name because of its abbreviation (we’re IVAN. the neighboring dorm is IVAS.) but that is nowhere near McNutt on the “how easy is it to make stupid jokes about this building” scale. but given that a cooking magazine we have wrote an article referencing how cashew milk is the “thickest nut milk” in a completely factual manner while i, a 25-year-old human person, could not stop my brain from going There, it’s just a given.
Oh no – it’s the She-Jacob!!
Yep.
Right! They’re both…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…help me out here? Beside the obvious, are these two actually similar beyond being wholesome?
OH WAIT I’M AN IDIOT
oh wait never mind, she only mentions one sibling
Okay, I get that it’s a static background, but the door sticker in panel 1 makes it look like Walky is holding onto a burrito or something.
He’s not?
Huh, look at that, he’s not.
. . . Oh no my shipping goggles are activating! Quick put a canon couple on screen to deactivate them once more!
Walky, you were so close but maybe just laugh rather than injure yourself or just do the single “snerk” exhale laugh when you can’t hold it. I’m sure there is a better way to describe it but I’m tired and my brain isn’t cooperating.
Walky’s day just keeps getting better.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DMNBLUqX4AEsGj0.jpg
I feel personally attacked
I can make good use of this meme.
Let’s be honest, I think most of us laughed at that too.
I definitely did.
first, Blowjob Cat. then, McNutt hall. what next?
I think Walky should take a vacation in Britain over the winter break. His itinerary should include Scongahorpe, Didling, Nob End, Broad Bottom, and Cock End.
He could finish up with a trip on the continent, visiting the German town of Wank, and the Austrian town of Fucking.
Dunno how that happened, but it’s Scongahorpe. The name is classic, er, clbuttic, in internet filtering tropes.
In the US, we have Norfolk, VA, not a problem in text but a guaranteed Walky-mouth-roof-buster when pronounced.
Wow! How self-referential! I just discovered a forum filter i didn’t know existed. And it perfectly illustrates the S-Cee-U-En-Tee-horpe problem!
I stopped using the c-word 15 years ago, on the basis that it is an inherently sexist derogation for which no male analog exists. I might call Billie an alpha bongo, but I will never call her a conga.
Well, I’m guess I’m glad that the censored word doesn’t come up often enough here for the replacement to be common knowledge. (Though I think I remember a fairly recent, probably deleted comment, that made use of it, so perhaps it’s a more recent filter? Or perhaps it was all a dream.)
Reminds me of how you can’t say “grape” or “skill” on Neopets.
I was trying to figure out how “skill” could be a problem, and then…I suddenly got a tiny bit worried about the Neopets community.
It’s because you can’t say “kill.” The censors made it real hard the time I had to do a crisis suicide check on Neopets.com.
Once upon a time in RuneScape the word “fletching” was censored in the chat, for a very brief period of time, because while it could be considered a workaround for saying “felching,” I GUESS, it also happens to be the name of a skill in the game.
“So what are you guys doing?”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“… crafting bows and arrows.”
(my guild hosted a fletching event during this time period. It amused.)
At one job I dissected a client’s blocked email almost word by word, and discovered that the algorithm was blocking the location name in the subject: New Milford.
The Sculpture of Female Presenting Nipple
I chuckle a little whenever I see the name “Condon hall” at my school. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen the building.
Eight years? Guess you’ve got some McStamina.
Don’t blame yourself, Willis. With such a gradual buildup, it’d take a long time for anyone to McNutt.
OK I laughed at that one, not gonna lie…
I love her expression here. That is the face of a girl who has totally laughed about McNutt.
And it’s not just the expression. I love Lucy!
(cue theme music)
If Walky’s mouth is torn up enough, he may need the telepathy.
Is McNutt anywhere near Blowjob Cat?
It just occurred to me that if Lucy is the equivalent of Joyce but in the other hall, then this ship is only a step away from the Joyce and Walky of the other universe.
Could explain the chemistry.
Joyce and Walky: “EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU MEAN WITH THAT?! HE/SHE IS SUPER GROSS!”
IF ANOTHER ME IN ANOTHER TIME LINE FALLS FOR THEM THEN THAT IS TRULY THE WORST POSSIBLE TIMELINE AND GOD HAS ABANDONED IT!
Don’t strain yourself too hard, Walky, or you’ll bust a McNutt.
Heh
He tore out the upper roof of his mouth. I’d be curious to know if he has a lower roof of his mouth.
One of my close friends in elementary school had the last name of McNutt. Not such an uncommon name.
Far from the worst last name in that school. One family had the last name Crapp.
…did you grow up in a Roald Dahl novel?
There’s a girl in a class I’ve subbed for a couple times whose last name is Butts.
With such a last name, how do you resist the urge to name your son Seymour?
Idk, maybe you love your child.
I had a friend from way back with the last name Kunz. She married a guy with the last name Seymour. They considered hyphenating the last name, but then thought better of it
I went to school with a guy named Coontz. He was a couple of years ahead of me. He went on to be a famous writer.
I was going to make a joke about their last tape, but then I thought about Spalding Gray’s performance of “Krapp’s Last Tape,” which I actually saw on video, and Spalding said it better than anyone else could: “I feel pretty close to this play as I often work with a tape recorder and often feel like crap.”
Thomas P Crapper really was a sanitary engineer.
Get out.
*googles*
…wow, you didn’t try to pull my leg. I love how these things end up.
I once knew a guy who’s last name was Gay-Semenkof. Poor the other kids were ruthless…
…good damn it, can we please get an edit button
Wow, this REALLY reminds me of Walky’s and Becky’s first meeting.
“Do I do the drama thing?”
“Hi, I’m a distraction.”
“HELLO DISTRACTION, LET’S HANG OUT!”
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-5/01-when-somebody-loved-me/belchin/
Sal and Walky’s twin telepathy in action:
Walky: “Suddenly I feel this strange urge to brood on a rooftop.”
Sal: “STOP THINKING ABOUT BUTTS, YOU LITTLE SHIT!”
I bet twins hate people thinking that there’s anything special about their relationship other than sharing a birthday. Centuries of fiction on the subject has a lot to answer for!
I once had the great fortune of hearing two identical twins arguing with each other.
*Angry* “YEAH, YOU ARE JUST AS STUPID AS YOU LOOK.”
*beat* “…we look the same.”
*hesitation, sullen answer* “…not EXACTLY the same…”
Kinda took the wind out of the argument
I’m still hoping Lucy and Joyce meet each other sometime soon.
Oh neat, so I guess we’ll see Lucy’s brother too some time.
I was blanking on his name for a sec, thought he went by Linus.
Don’t worry about it, Walky. I don’t think that laughing at the ridiculous name of one of the dorm halls equates to insulting the residents!
I mostly think he wants to not look like a buffoon in front of Lucy, which is adorable in itself.
His failure to contain his laugh, and her little smirk in the final panel is adorable as banter go.
Come on, Walky. Let out the laughs.
Lucy seems to fit in at read ball a lot Better than Forest Squad.
I thought the same thing. She should have moved here instead of Malaya.
*cough* mcbutt, thank you for coming to my tedtalk
Oh no, they have good chemistry.
Anyone else read this in Gene Wilder’s monotone Willy Wonka warning voice?
The “roof” of your mouth is really the ceiling of your mouth. Change my mind.
1) you’re right and i hate it 2) so what IS the roof of your mouth? is it where that specific bit of bone ends? is it the top of the skull? is it in the sinuses somewhere??
The sinuses are the attic of your mouth. Your scalp is the roof.
What about the anterior cranial fossa? Does this house have TWO attics? What about the orbits? So many questionsssssss.
So Lucy is definitely interested, even i can tell that much.
They’ll banter, but they won’t date.
Lucy is too much like Walky in temperament.opposites attract and such. There’s no mystery at all. That they get on so well otherwise will prove to be a continual source of frustration. I’m thinking, like, Elliot and J.D. from Scrubs.
also she’s not thicc
Opposites don’t attract though. People like people who are similar to themselves that are different in some ways that allow them to complement each other but not all ways. People don’t actually like people that have nothing in common with them, no overlap in interests, literally no similarities to themselves and that are difficult to get along with in every possible way.
I didn’t mean absolute opposites. You’re straw manning.
I’m just saying what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.
I am fully aware and am troubled by of the racial implications of comparing Lucy to Dorothy and Amber, but it’s becoming increasingly clear Walky, for all his exuberant geekiness, likes complimenting divergent personalities.
“what does Lucy actually bring to the table, other than being a cheery tumblr sprite.”

Ooh, is she Jacob’s little sister then? How interesting.
Jacob’s last name is Williams, Lucy’s last name is Glenn. It’s probably unlikely that they’re related.
Nope, her brother’s name is Lyle. He showed up in Shortpacked for a couple strips.
I binged Shortpacked! a couple years ago and totally forgot him. Good work!
Thank Walkypedia, not me!
What’s so funny about McNutt? It’s just a building close to McButt, and across McBub and Bongo Street.
I like how Walky’s kind of hitting peak goofball around Lucy. I feel like they play off each other well!
And I can see Joyce popping out into the hallway and immediately assuming the worst of Walky again, too.
“Okay, look Walky, I guess I should apologize for how I was acti- wait… are you serious!? Another girl!?”
My Mom graduated from IU and she lived in McNutt.
