              Or will be, once word of Sarah’s hair gets back to the folks. Then, it’s an immediate change of hierarchy. They have to swap positions at the dining table right away, even if they’re in the middle of a meal.

                If Walky thinks that owning more than one pair of shoes is too girlie, I can’t imagine that he wouldn’t think getting his hair straightened regularly would be a manly thing to do.

              The is a kind of hair that when left alone curls naturaly, but if you brush it a certain kinda of straightens and it kinda stays that way… I do have that kind of hair by the way….

                Ashh typos I meant. There is a kind of hair that curls when left alone to dry, but if you brush it a certain way it kinda of straightens and even stays that way until gets wet again, at least my own hair does that.

              Maybe he had curly hair but it’s too lazy to actually curl. That would fit Walky.

            In one of the earlier strips (The one where Joyce has her “I’ve been afraid to ask what ‘flavor’ of human you are.” line), Walky says that his hair is kinky when really short, but grows out as straight as you see it normally.

              Oh! right, he did say that. I’d forgotten. And that would be consistent with what happened to his hair when he shaved it in “Joyce & Walky”

            …Uh. He does. Sometimes with curly hair, the longer it gets, the less curly/wavy it is. He’s saying that when it’s short, it’s more visibly curly but not anything like Sal’s still.

              Less curly when long =/= straight. Your second thing is a straw man, as I never said it was like Sal’s.

                Just because you didn’t say it being like Sal’s doesn’t make my point a “strawman”. I was using it as a comparison.

                I was responding because the *implication* of your post was that he gets it straightened. Especially since the conversation leading up to this post is debating if he straightens his hair, which is obviously silly.

                  All I was doing was refuting Random832’s claim that Walky has naturally straight hair. That’s it. I’m a nitpicky person in general.

                  Right, and I understand that now. It’s just that the way you phrased it, it seemed like you were implying that he actively does things to make it straight.

            Yes, he does; you just proved it. When it is short it is more “obviously kinky” but as it grows it is *naturally* straighter.

              Key word: obviously. As in, his hair is just kinky in general, but it’s more obvious when it is short.

                This is *clearly* worth fighting over.

                Regardless of what horrific homunculus of topology his hair is, his current hairstyle does not require him to do any work or effort to maintain it. This means that he has not been replaced by an appearance-concerned pod person, and isn’t that what really matters?

              Sheesh, people.  The key feature of the trombone is the sliding tube (valve).  Walk too closely in front of a trombonist in marching band and you take the risk (if the trombonist is courteous) of merely getting your shako knocked off.  If he/she is *not* polite you could wind up with a rap in the noggin.

      Did anyone think she was telling the truth, though? Walky made the same mistake we did, it’s just that his realization is months after ours.

        We were surprised, true — but it’s still crazy for Walky to be all “Wow! When’d that happen??” Um . . . maybe sometime during the 6 hours since she mentioned her hair appointment?

        “Wow! You went to dinner with Dorothy and her folks? When’d that happen??”

        The Willis style is awesome, but his 3/4 rear angles could maybe use some cheekbones or something, I dunno.

        To be fair he hasn’t gotten near the practice with them as other angles.

    It’s funny how powerful of a symbol hair can be. I read through the whole Walkyverse archive a long time ago, and I can honestly say that until this story arch, based entirely off of Sal’s hair, I had always assumed that Sal and Walky’s father was Indian. Its kind of mind-blowing when you realize that the image in your mind’s eye of two central characters of a series you’ve been following for a long time is completely off the mark.

      Throughout Roomies and It’s Walky, I assumed Sal and Walky were white until it was basically spelled out that they weren’t. To be fair, in the early B&W strips, they were drawn just as white as almost everyone else. When they appeared in colored strips, I just assumed they had a good tan going on.

    At first read, I thought Billie’s shirt read “ORGANS”, which would be a really weird thing to have on a shirt. Granted “DRAGONS” is kind of odd too. A picture of a dragon? Sure. Just the word “DRAGONS” by itself though? A little odd.

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.
