    Is Walky being sarcastic there? Does he actually think she has intent other than appearing antisocial, or is he just stating the obvious?

    • LuckyShot
      LuckyShot
      December 1, 2011 at 12:22 am | #

      Because it’s not possible that her character has depth that only Walky, as her brother, would know about, right?
      There’s emphasis on the word definitely, so I’m pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

      • Valdrax
        Valdrax
        December 1, 2011 at 4:25 am | #

        But he said it with such a completely straight face, and the emphasis also works if he’s serious too. Given that Walky seems to sass Sal about her character flaws at every opportunity, he could be griping.

        Then again, it’s Billie he’s talking to, and Billie demands sarcasm for her ridiculous high school pecking order obsessions, so I’m not sure either.

      My good Slender (oh noes, a reference!) man,

      Billie is incorrect in thinking that’s why Sal’s doing it, and Walky’s like ‘Uh, yeah, sure, that’s why she’s doing it’ because he recognizes that is wrong but sees little point in arguing with Billie. It’s not that she’s trying to appear cool, she’s trying to be left alone.

        Okay yeah, that’s much more likely than what I said. However I would still like to see some hidden character depth from her in this chapter…
        It seems like the perfect setting for it too. 🙂

      His sarcasm was directed at Billie’s insinuation that Sal’s antisocial behavior was to get attention and try and look cool, I think.

          Quick, somebody get it to 4chan. If it meme-ifies Walky can get more ad traffics. More monies = more swag (mass produced Dina hats, perhaps?)

    To those who think Walky was being serious, I remind you of that joke you’ve probably already heard, which I have modified to fit here, in the form established in posts above. Walky is being sarcastic. He’s mocking Billie’s jealousy because he’s (mostly) a good brother and he doesn’t like that Billie is badmouthing Sal to him behind Sal’s back.

      There’s a hyperlink in that post, on the word ‘here’. Apparently you can’t trust web formatting to make these things obvious for you nowadays. Darn young’uns messing up my internet with their “default hyperlink fonts”. I remember the days when a hyperlink was a hyperlink: blue until you clicked, purple once it was clicked. I’m not sure if ‘those days’ were reflective of technology at the time or my browsing habits at the time, but I miss those days.

    Ugh. I have a brother in law who reminds me of Sal. Except he thinks he is a Johnny Cash clone and too cool for everyone he meets. He wears the mirrored sunglasses and the fedoras all the time (although fedoras are fucking awesome…when not used for evil and douchebaggery). I really just wanna smack him and be like, GET A FUCKING JOB ALREADY. It would be different if he did sit at home on his ass all the time and expect my sister to do everything short of wipe his ass >.>. /end rant

    also can ah get a spellcheck on the douchebaggery please? I don’t wanna go around misspelling made up words and look like a total idiot now do I? ^.^

      Well, the “douche part is spelled right, as is “bag.” The rest looks pretty consistent with spelling rules for English. Given that the rules themselves aren’t always consistent, and that probably at least half of the English language isn’t consistent with the spelling rules, I’d say you’re doing better than most.

      Only problem is I think your brother in law is interpreting Sal’s actions the same way Billie is. Sal has a reason for the things she does and we’ll presumably find out what it is in 3 years.

      They are mirrored sunglasses. She is looking at you. This means that what you see is your reflection.

      This was not intended as a fat joke, but it could certainly be interpreted that way. I would like to point out that I have no idea what physical form any other poster takes, and I’m not even 100% certain of my own. I’m sort of blue-ish with a white squiggle, from what I can see.

    She has to ask Walky who looks more emotionally detached, because she’s not sure anymore. She’s not sure because she can’t see what anybody looks like.
    This would be because she removed the glasses she needs to see in order to put the sunglasses on instead.

Two magnetic characters: a black-haired guy and a brown-haired girl with glasses. He included a third one that I think is the character who looks the most like Helen from my webcomic Narbonic.
