I’m sort of believing the theory that DoA Mike is designed to piss off fans, primarily by not being an asshole, which is exactly the sort of assholery Mike loves.
Meh I suck so hard at taking notes (I have a form of slight dyslexia when I was tested for this summer, nothing overly major but yeah, just the odd thing here and there and basically I suck in handwriting), so concentrating on taking too many notes would mean I’d probably not be able to get what was being said AS I was taking notes and get lost.
(Really Ms/Mr. Lecturer, it’s because I want to concentrate on what you say… really! No! No! Put down the tazer! Please! Have mercy!…)
So I don’t take as many and I just take a dictaphone. Granted while I’m in a taught masters, I only have about 7 hours of lectures a week. We’re supposed to know a lot of this stuff by now, just refreshing our memory on a few things plus seminars from people on whatever the hell they’re researching or have researched (oh the fascinating world of seaweed!). But I still drift off a little there sometimes thinking of story ideas. While some biological knowledge is kind of a given, sometimes they act ike everyone is a dead on expert in their specific field.
If I had a nickel for every time I drew my TA being eaten by a dinosaur… actually, usually it’s a dragon. Or some similar monster. I’m not skilled enough a doodler to draw dinosaurs.
…but I side with Sarah only because my roomies drive me nuts with their non-nonchalant attitude towards school (no, I’m not a school nazi, but when finals and midterm week roll around I don’t like being woken up at 1 AM in the morning because they’re calling me, beginning me to open the door because they always forget the keys to the room.)
I hate people like that. Yes, university is for higher education, BUT it is also for learning more than just textbook knowledge. It’s also that time when you’re supposed to be experiencing life to the fullest, not just sitting at home looking at books all day.
One wonders how Dorothy wound up with a boyfriend with that attitude. What, did he follow her home freshman year of high school and make her feel obligated to keep him?
Interestingly enough, that’s kind of how I met my college boyfriend, he followed me around. Since then, I’ve discovered that mace (either the pepper spray or the medieval weapon) is much more effective in dealing with that problem.
Actually, David’s more like Joyce than Walky. Though of course he’s a little like Walky. Anyway, we have discussions at length about how he’s Joyce and I’m Walky. Though the superpowers apply either way, I guess.
I had a teach in college once tell the whole class “Pay attention to what I am talking about rather than drawing doodles of me being eaten by teradactyls”…I spend 1 hour every other day for the next 3 months drawing him being eaten by teradactyls…
The “It’s Walky” website has a search engine. Click the “Search” button on the top-right part of the screen in-between “Limited Prints” and “Giftart”. Under query text, type: “like little girls”. Then, bingo! http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040705.html
“There are things outside that are meaner and stronger than you. Like little girls.”
And there you have it. Probably, it’s more effort than one might want for a quick little gag, but whatever. It’s there if you want it.
Mike is gathering information; once he knows all their hopes and dreams and delusions, he will procede to crush them as the Mike we all know and worship.
You know a part of me wonders if Mike not being as assholish is because he was never abducted and he’s not trying to fool anyone nor is he biding his time at all. That he won’t be the same level of assholism we see on sp! or something
Impossible. Mike is a multidimensionnal singularity, he’s the same Mike no matter what the universe so he’ll alway be an asshole. His methods might change though.
OK, wow. This is the first time a Willis punchline has made me actually laugh out loud in a long time. Nothing against him though – I almost never laugh out loud at any webcomic ever, excluding Hark! A Vagrant and Bob the Angry Flower. So the fact that he made me laugh at all is, to me, an indication that I am definitely going to enjoy the direction this comic is going.
Haha, my roommates think I’m some uptight witch, when actually they’re lack of courtesy is why I’m no snippy with them, especially when I TRY to talk to them about it they shove it in my face xD;; I’m actually very fun and very open, so I ..uh…*HOPE* Rusty was just joshing me ^ ^;;;
Oh!! I hope its someone new!! You know, like someone exclusively for DoA! or something…

Those are the best kind of notes.
My notebooks are full of doodles
… My old notebooks are full of margin
obscenitiescrimes against naturedoodles too.… Especially Math, for some reason.
My old physical science notebook from high school is filled with digimon doodles.
@Lee WIN! Digimon FTW! I just write fanfiction during my college classes.
Digimon is the best! <3 But wondering why Mike hasn't been very mean yet. :/
Oh man, I have got to take this opportunity to introduce everyone to Vi Hart, http://www.vihart.com/doodling/
I think doodling in Math Class is a Universal Truth.
Mine is full of various creatures and other things from a make believe world I created, including the deities, instruments, world map, religions…
…I switched to art college this year
I spent most of Intro to Theatre screwing around on the internet, which may explain why I got an F in that class (that, and I didn’t have the book).
I came up with my best edits to TV Tropes while in Psych 101.
Now I take school more seriously and actually take notes, which are filled with explicit language, colored font, and random side notes.
mine has a pokeball
ONE POKEBALL
Thank you, Calvin.
Hobbes: So what does your teacher object to about your drawing dinosaurs?
Calvin: Mostly my drawing them during math.
Rowr.
Yeah, I did that in school a few times as well. But replace “A few” with “All the”
All the times? Guess you should have paid more attention in English class! OWNED
Wait, is it ‘payed’ or ‘paid’ in this instance. I’d check my notes but even in third year University I spend classes doodling orcs…
…ALL the times? :S
Draw ALL the times?
O_o
Hey, leave him alone! There isn’t even an “A few” in the first statement: no capital A.
Aw, all my TAs are pretty cool. But dinosaurs eating people are pretty cool, too.
The TA is probably drawing his students being eaten by a dinosaur.
There is not a whole lot for a TA to do during lectures in professor-led classes.
That’s Mike’s first line? Meh.
I’m sort of believing the theory that DoA Mike is designed to piss off fans, primarily by not being an asshole, which is exactly the sort of assholery Mike loves.
Actually, his first line was asking Billie if she’d ever seen a motorcycle.
Nah. He had a couple when Sal showed up. They were slightly ass-holey.
Have you not read Mike’s twitter account for this universe. He’s still very much an asshole.
He’s just waiting for the proper time to crush everybody. And then get away with it.
Also, I hereby dub the guy with the freakish smile behind Mike Hubert. He is majoring in astrophysics.
This is canon in my mind.
And beard-man is Ben.
You know, like Ben Kenobi.
Beard man should be named jeph. Because he looks like a jeph who is our doted artists nemesis.
I see no freakish smile…
Look behind Mike. SMILES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THAT
As far as I can see, the guy behind Mike has a mouth that’s a tiny straight line. I think you’re looking at his neck-shadow.
Behind and to the right.
Yea… thats a neck- shadow… Although that guy’s hair is eating Mike’s hair…
That cannot be a neck shadow. The position of the face doesn’t allow for it,
The guy behind Mike doesn’t have a mouth drawn on him.
And now to me.
And one day, it will be Word Of God.
Is…is that oddly detailed brown haired person back there in panel 2, Alex?
You win this round, Willis.
No way, Alex would never stoop to talking or sitting next to anyone. His computer is his only love.
Maybe he’s on a very tiny netbook. Or an iPhone. 2010 would be Alex’s dream. Never separated from the internet.
True dat, mah rigger.
Dinosaurs eating people will bring these roomies together
Who goes to class to take notes? I attend just so I can work on comic book scripts while someone rambles on about chemistry or something like that.
I used to do that all the time. And then I hit the higher level classes, and can’t get away with it anymore -_-
Meh I suck so hard at taking notes (I have a form of slight dyslexia when I was tested for this summer, nothing overly major but yeah, just the odd thing here and there and basically I suck in handwriting), so concentrating on taking too many notes would mean I’d probably not be able to get what was being said AS I was taking notes and get lost.

I have it on good authority* that the TA is Sara from Questionable Content. You know, Dora’s employee that got eaten by an Allosaur?
*This is a blatant lie.
If I had a nickel for every time I drew my TA being eaten by a dinosaur… actually, usually it’s a dragon. Or some similar monster. I’m not skilled enough a doodler to draw dinosaurs.
If I had a nickel for every time I drew my TA being eaten by a dinosaur, I would have your mom.
Sorry, it was too easy.
I’d have your mom’s FAAAAACE.
DRAMA IN THE FAAAAACE!
Calling it now: Dorothy and Mike have a fling that ends in DRAMAAAAA!
With a line like that, I suspect Dorothy’s gonna have the most drama. Half of it’s gonna stem from people calling her the blonde Amber.
I love how happy Walky is about his drawing.
And then Walky drops his notes, and they get picked up by a Dina Saur. Who then proceeds to eat the TA.
Out….
Well, the TA is Sara from QC….
Man, I hope Walky gets his own storyline soon. Right now’s he’s just a satellite character. I’m starting to get convinced he has a crush on Billie.
Why not? She’s totally tsundere for him and she got a nice rack XD
Yeah, but JoycexBilly seems to have some steam. He’d never have a chance.
Wow. Is that Mike’s amused face?
Sorry. Amused FAAAAACE?
FAAAAAAAACCCCCCEEEEE.
FAAAAAAAAAAACCCEEEE?
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Ccccccccccccccccccc
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Face! Faaace fa faaaceee! Faaaaaace ce ce! Face fa faaaaa!
“FACE! USE THUNDERBOLT!”
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!
EEEEEEECCCCCCCAAAAAAAAF?!
Here’s your D.
>_>
YOUR DOING IT WRONG!
HAHAHA! AWESOME!
…but I side with Sarah only because my roomies drive me nuts with their non-nonchalant attitude towards school (no, I’m not a school nazi, but when finals and midterm week roll around I don’t like being woken up at 1 AM in the morning because they’re calling me, beginning me to open the door because they always forget the keys to the room.)

One wonders how Dorothy wound up with a boyfriend with that attitude. What, did he follow her home freshman year of high school and make her feel obligated to keep him?
Isn’t that how everyone gets dates?
Interestingly enough, that’s kind of how I met my college boyfriend, he followed me around. Since then, I’ve discovered that mace (either the pepper spray or the medieval weapon) is much more effective in dealing with that problem.
I think I’m seeing things but is that ninja Rick behind Walky?
Sidenote. I love how everyone reads the strip and looks at every extra, hoping to figure out which character from an earlier strip is cameoing….
So is Walky taking on Willis’ persona now?
I’m pretty sure Walky was always a blatant Marty Stu (complete with superpowers!), so where are you getting that ‘now’ from?
Actually, David’s more like Joyce than Walky. Though of course he’s a little like Walky. Anyway, we have discussions at length about how he’s Joyce and I’m Walky. Though the superpowers apply either way, I guess.
I always got the impression that the poop fascination was all Willis. But that may have been some crafty after-the-fact persona-crafting.
Is it just me, or does Mike seem to not be much of an asshole so far? He just seems to be grumpy.
He’s only in college. You gotta give him some time to develop that style we know and love.
Mike was born with the style that we know and love. Comes from having your mom while he was in the womb.
I had a teach in college once tell the whole class “Pay attention to what I am talking about rather than drawing doodles of me being eaten by teradactyls”…I spend 1 hour every other day for the next 3 months drawing him being eaten by teradactyls…
I could only wish that could actually happen in some of my classes.
The redhead in panel two is Howard, attempting to grow a “hip” and “edgy” hairdo!
…He still gets beat up all the time, though.
Theres stuff stronger and meaner then you out here Howard… Like little girls…
No its not an exact quote, I’m to lazy to find the exact quote…
The “It’s Walky” website has a search engine. Click the “Search” button on the top-right part of the screen in-between “Limited Prints” and “Giftart”. Under query text, type: “like little girls”. Then, bingo!
http://www.itswalky.com/d/20040705.html
“There are things outside that are meaner and stronger than you. Like little girls.”
And there you have it. Probably, it’s more effort than one might want for a quick little gag, but whatever. It’s there if you want it.
Quick question. Is this an alternate timeline where SEMME never existed?
Not just SEMME. The aliens and Martians, too.
Haha, Walky. Some things never change.
Mike is gathering information; once he knows all their hopes and dreams and delusions, he will procede to crush them as the Mike we all know and worship.
You know a part of me wonders if Mike not being as assholish is because he was never abducted and he’s not trying to fool anyone nor is he biding his time at all. That he won’t be the same level of assholism we see on sp! or something
OR THAT’S JUST WHAT HE WANTS ME TO THINK.
/paranoia
Impossible. Mike is a multidimensionnal singularity, he’s the same Mike no matter what the universe so he’ll alway be an asshole. His methods might change though.
Mike will do the opposite of what might be expected. I’d guess that even in the DoAverse, Mike is still whatever you don’t WANT him to be.

MIKE AND WALKY: EPIC BROMANCE
*shudder*
Why shudder? It’s not really worse than any other Mike romance.
wu-oh! I sense shenanigins with Walkie and Mike 8D
Mike and Walky are fun together. ^_^
OK, wow. This is the first time a Willis punchline has made me actually laugh out loud in a long time. Nothing against him though – I almost never laugh out loud at any webcomic ever, excluding Hark! A Vagrant and Bob the Angry Flower. So the fact that he made me laugh at all is, to me, an indication that I am definitely going to enjoy the direction this comic is going.
Also I wonder who the TA is…
haha, thats awsome!
btw, I also am wondering who the TA is….anyone wanna place some bets? o:
Your mom’s FAAAAACEEE.
D8< !!! No, YOUR MOMS FAAAAAAACCCEEE!!!
K, I’m not even gonna pretend to be offended, I LOL’D SO HARD when I read that xD;;;
Let’s go through a list of possibles…
Robin
Ethan
Faz
Sydney
Tom Chestnut
Leslie Bean
Anthony McHenry Jr.
Penelope Worthington
Someone new
My vote is for Sydney, though Your Mom’s FAAAAACE! seems an interesting candidate. If true, I bet Mike ends up out a nickel.
Haha, my roommates think I’m some uptight witch, when actually they’re lack of courtesy is why I’m no snippy with them, especially when I TRY to talk to them about it they shove it in my face xD;; I’m actually very fun and very open, so I ..uh…*HOPE* Rusty was just joshing me ^ ^;;;
Oh!! I hope its someone new!! You know, like someone exclusively for DoA! or something…
I was a good student, but I think I’ve still gotten more drawing practice in boring classes than anywhere else in my life ever.
my note books are all filled with drawings between all the text. if not there is no fun in it.
If these two scenes take place at the same time, does that mean the first class is at noon? Or does Sarah just eat salad for breakfast?
That is the essence of Walky.
Is Dumbiverse Walky secretly smart like his Walkyverse counterpart, or is he actually an idiot?
I’m terrified. I think that’s a Mike grin.
