Comics are currently drawn and uploaded through:
So I understand (after reading the “about” page) that this is brand new and no actions that took place in previous comics effect things in this comic. My question is, does that include people and their abductee status?
I must say, I do like your planning on the colors. Joyce’s world has been pretty much orange and red, and as we switched over to a new circle of characters, the dominant colors are blue and green. It’s a handy visual.
Not that I wouldn’t have read and loved this regardless, but I admit I was hoping Joe would show up and Joe the place (and ladies) up, and Danny too. Cause I have a soft spot for Danny.
Now: Question Time!
I get that this is a continuity reboot, but does this stem out of some timey-wimey shennanigans that went on in J&W? Did Head Alien/The Cheese/Walky do something to the timeline that erased all the Abductin’ goin’ on?
Nah. There are already an established number of alternate universes adjacent to the Walkyverse. There’s the one Jason’s family comes from, there’s the one the new Head Alien comes from (in Joyce & Walky!), and there’s the one the Fans! folks come from. This is just another one of them floating out there.
Isn’t the universe where Jason’s family comes from dead? Or was that just a universe they visited on their way to the one they currently resided (The older Walkyverse) in that they sentenced to a slow energy death? I always thought that it was pretty hardcore (in a bad way) of Jason’s father to kill his own home universe just to get revenge on the Cheese.
Nah, “Heat Death of the Universe”-flavored dooms tend to take millennia to complete, so either way, Universe Chesterfield will probably keep chugging for a good while longer no matter what.
I can’t wait to see where this comic takes us in this crazy world full of adventures and such. The best of luck to you with this new comic, Mr. Willis. *bows*
None of this interests me except for Dina being in the background. I demand more Dina!
(While I can’t literally demand anything of you, I can and will state my wishes as to which character/s I would like to see more of).
Eh he’s a little overstrung, but as long as he isn’t sneaking into her room to watch her sleep without her knowledge, sabotaging her modes of transport and engaging in mass glitter use I think he’ll eventually do okay. Eventually.
Not before some drama and laughs though at his expense.
1. I absolutely love this comment system! Why in the world do more comics not do this? Much better than thread-a-day in the forums, and a number of comics don’t even do that!
2. Greatly looking forward to where this comic is heading, absolutely love J&W so have high hopes! Though gotta say Shortpacked! never really grabbed my interest personally.
Just putting in my $.02 that I don’t really like the diminishing font size for comment replies. Seems okay on my mobile, but it was unreadable on my desktop.
This new direction seems so reflective and inverted of Roomies! Coming into the whole stream late, I have to say it’s a nice, fresh way to avoid reading through an archive to learn about all these awesome characters. Must be refreshing for the artist too One comment: I know no one likes IE. I know I should get firefox. Just thought I’d share that for some reason the very cool background disappears to be replaced by this funky, ugly, no-interest blue color background.
I agree, major shame. Old Awesome Background is great, ESPECIALLY with the transparent panels. “Funky, ugly, no-interest blue color” sums this up pretty nicely (sorry Maggie!!)
The blue is good, it mirrors the ‘black’ comment background on the Shortpacked! site. It could be a bit thinner, but I can read the comments much more easily now.
Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore.

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."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"
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.

Danny is very emotional.
Good to see that Joe still hasn’t changed at all in 13 years and a continuity shift
Poor Danny. So is he going to be the Joyce this time?
What goes around comes around, bizznitch.
I shall take that as a yes, since I figure you know what your husband is planning.
Naw, I’ve read ahead a little, but I don’t know that much more than you. He’s very cagey.
Joyce is still Joyce.
Of course Joyce is Joyce.
But is she the Joyce?
Holy crap, is that Dina in the third panel?
Just noticed you are tagging even the background characters. So now I can confirm any people who might be a major character
I don’t always tag the background characters. If it’s their first appearance, I let people notice or guess at them for a while first.
In that case, I’m guessing blue shirt guy in the last panel is Jason.
So I understand (after reading the “about” page) that this is brand new and no actions that took place in previous comics effect things in this comic. My question is, does that include people and their abductee status?
There are no abductees in Dumbing of Age.
Yet.
Wait then, no The Cheese either? =(
Curveball: Joyce looks shocked in panel one because she’s spotted Alf and Doug Funny… and sees what they’re doing…
Not Patty Mayonnaise and Willy?
That’s what makes it a Curveball. She was EXPECTING Patty and Willy.
I must say, I do like your planning on the colors. Joyce’s world has been pretty much orange and red, and as we switched over to a new circle of characters, the dominant colors are blue and green. It’s a handy visual.
I don’t know why but when I’m reading Joe’s dialogue in my head its in Patrick Warburton’s voice. I think I like that.
Same here! It was automatic. Somehow the pacing of his lines in these first strips here are a really good match.
Dunno why, but to me joe sounds kinda like a cross between George Clooney and Isaiah Mustafa (The Old Spice guy), but Patrick Warburton works also.
Not that I wouldn’t have read and loved this regardless, but I admit I was hoping Joe would show up and Joe the place (and ladies) up, and Danny too. Cause I have a soft spot for Danny.
Now: Question Time!
I get that this is a continuity reboot, but does this stem out of some timey-wimey shennanigans that went on in J&W? Did Head Alien/The Cheese/Walky do something to the timeline that erased all the Abductin’ goin’ on?

I miss the comment button in the navigational controls :'(
Thanks to that first panel, I can’t stop imagining Joe as played by Bruce Campbell.
… damn it, now that thought will never, ever leave my head.
I’m so glad Danny still has a mullet, even if it is even more out of place nowadays. He just isn’t Danny without that horrible hair!
I can’t wait to see where this comic takes us in this crazy world full of adventures and such. The best of luck to you with this new comic, Mr. Willis. *bows*
None of this interests me except for Dina being in the background. I demand more Dina!
(While I can’t literally demand anything of you, I can and will state my wishes as to which character/s I would like to see more of).
Danny seems kinda crazy……
Eh he’s a little overstrung, but as long as he isn’t sneaking into her room to watch her sleep without her knowledge, sabotaging her modes of transport and engaging in mass glitter use I think he’ll eventually do okay. Eventually.
Not before some drama and laughs though at his expense.
Just gotta say 2 things:
1. I absolutely love this comment system! Why in the world do more comics not do this? Much better than thread-a-day in the forums, and a number of comics don’t even do that!
2. Greatly looking forward to where this comic is heading, absolutely love J&W so have high hopes! Though gotta say Shortpacked! never really grabbed my interest personally.
Ever see the comments on YouTube videos? Many webcomics don’t have comments sections because they can (or did) easily devolve into… that.
Is it me or does Dina’s hat appear to have an eye and teeth in that one panel?
I think it’s a frowning frog hat.
Angry frog on the head
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur! Dinosaur!
verrah nice… it’s been many many moons, but i lived in beck wing for a couple of years. you’ve got the lobby down pat.
Just putting in my $.02 that I don’t really like the diminishing font size for comment replies. Seems okay on my mobile, but it was unreadable on my desktop.
This new direction seems so reflective and inverted of Roomies! Coming into the whole stream late, I have to say it’s a nice, fresh way to avoid reading through an archive to learn about all these awesome characters. Must be refreshing for the artist too
One comment: I know no one likes IE. I know I should get firefox. Just thought I’d share that for some reason the very cool background disappears to be replaced by this funky, ugly, no-interest blue color background.
People said the awesome background made things hard to read and they hated it, so there’s a blue there now.
Well that’s a shame. I seriously prefer the old awesome background myself. Thought it went with the transparent panels beautifully.
I agree, major shame. Old Awesome Background is great, ESPECIALLY with the transparent panels. “Funky, ugly, no-interest blue color” sums this up pretty nicely (sorry Maggie!!)
I’m with Falcon on this.
The blue is good, it mirrors the ‘black’ comment background on the Shortpacked! site. It could be a bit thinner, but I can read the comments much more easily now.
So…wait, what about Sal? I didn’t think it was THAT big of a continuity shift…
Sal and Danny have never met.
:O
So do Jason and his family exist in this universe?
Jason is a math professor.
Okay, am I seeing things, or in the last panel do I see a possible Jason in the background?
Wishful thinking I think. The hair isn’t quite right.
Agreed.
First chance, still failing the Reverse Bechamel Test…
Exhibit A in Joe’s descent into absolute dickery.
I can’t muster the energy to feel anything for Danny’s “struggle” besides complete amusement.
