Well, if Joe was gay, he’d be in even *more* capable hands, Dorothy. (And Joe would fix Danny’s problem of not being laid, as well…)
Also, Joe, here’s an opportunity to start schmoozing her! If, y’know, she’ll let you.
…yes, I’m procrastinating homework again! This time it’s an English paper I’ve procrastinated three weeks. And a powerpoint for English as well. They’re due tomorrow. 8D
Sal/Joyce. Joyce is already basically obsessed with her, Sal has enough religious knowledge from her years in Catholic school to convince Joyce that not all sin is bad, and Sal did go to an all-girls school during her teens. Not to mention she seems to love angering her parents.
I don’t care about Danny a bit, so I honestly wouldn’t give a crap if Danny went all emo or Amazi-girl obsessive (or both) but so help me if his pathetic depression ends up affecting another major characters life (especially one I happen to LIKE) in a negative way I will—
I’m not getting on THIS universes Danny for getting depressed over being dumped! Thats understandable.
However, in the main walkyverse, Danny being depressed (what I got was he started drinking because of all his problems) led up to the events of Ruths death because he drove DRUNK trying to drink away all the depression. I simply don’t want a repeat of that with Ruth or any other character (jesus, not even Billie deserves Ruths horrible death in the Main Walkyverse).
Walky looking nervously at Dorothy, Joe and Roz checking each other out, it’s great how one strip can cover sideplots like that without even needing wordspace to do so.
Yeah, I can think of a couple moments in itswalky where joe was considerate, but that’s a lot of comics for only two moments. He has a heart of gold to be sure, but you got to dig real deep to find it. Half the battle is just getting him to think about not sex for a moment, and good luck getting him to understand that a man can have problems beyond a dry streak.
But isn’t that what Danny is doing? He’s dealing with his crap in his own way which means mourning in his room.
I mean, so far we haven’t seen Danny ask Joe for emotional support. Joe is the one who showed up wanting to know if he can have sex with Dorothy after all.
Seem’s Joe is simply annoyed that Danny is even bothered by the break-up.
Besides, Joe doesn’t have any crap to deal with. He’s never been in love in this comic (as far as we know so far) and all he wants is to get laid.
Enh. Sitting in his room blocking out the world isn’t really ‘dealing with it’ … and if he’s as annoying as he was in Roomies about a break-up, I fully give Joe thumbs up to do what must be done.
-Flashbacks to first day of first year of undergrad classes-
Lecturer: “How many of you are in a relationship?”
-Many people put up hands-
“By the end of the year most of you will have broken up!”
We were also then informed that that wasn’t a valid excuse for not keeping up to date with work etc and they didn’t care. They only took things into consideration if you were exceedingly ill or if a close family member had died or something (and even then it would have to be very near exams in that latter case).
So if this uni is the same… Danny could be in trouble if they take registration etc. and feel its important. They’re not going to CARE that he broke up with his girlfriend.
This was similar to my first thought on reading the comic. Isn’t this the first day of classes? Isn’t he missing his first day of classes? I know he didn’t go to college in order to learn, but if he doesn’t show up that will be grounds for academic dismissal, and those are hard to stop. I claimed (accurately) that I had a chronic illness that caused my academic nonperformance, and they still kicked me out. “My girlfriend broke up with me” is really a lame excuse.
A lot of the classes I went to, if you miss three or so classes, they drop a letter grade. When I transferred to art school, if I missed more than two days, I’d have to take the quarter over.
These sorts of things happen when, as you say, nobody goes to classes. They come up with crazy ways to make you want to show up.
Blond bongoy Amber… I mean, Dorothy… looks cute while rolling her eyes and complaining. I imagine Danny was too busy admiring her to hear her when she bongoed before, hence being caught by surprise at the breakup.
“Aw, she’s doing that look again! … What’d you say, honey?”
Wouldn’t it be interesting, if Danny is the sacrifice of this universe? I mean, the way things are going, it’s a long road up from him being considered anything but a whiny brat who lost what he deserved to lose…but in death, he can whammy the hell out of Dorothy and, well, it would equal out the ‘drama gets real’ effect I’ve noticed Willis like to do.
Wait, wasn’t Danny in that class a couple of strips ago? What’s going on, did he learn how to teleport? Also, chuckled at Walky’s expression in the second panel and at Joe’s in the fourth. Also, I know where Joe is coming from.
Am I missing something or is it totally strange to me that all the people from Shortpacked! went to college together, and there’s NO mention of college days in the comic?
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.

Sex solves everything!
Except, ya know… STDs.
Well, if you’re lonely because you’re the only one you know with STDs, than it solves the problem
No, this is not based on a personal experience.
Joe and Roz, anyone?
Those horny kids were made for each other. Until they break each other.
Break each other? Ick.
Uh, yes? This is a question?
Maybe she’ll grab him now. She seems to be right in earshot, there.
Look at their expressions in panel 1. They banged in the janitor’s closet before class, and are headed back to her room for round 2.
They banged DURING class without anyone noticing! SEX NINJAS!!
I dunno, if that’s what happened, I’m not sure she’s up for Round 2, from her expression.
Yes, yes, yes. Just…yes.
Poor Danny. Maybe they can find Amzi-Girl to go give him a pep talk.
Or… something else…
Well, if Joe was gay, he’d be in even *more* capable hands, Dorothy. (And Joe would fix Danny’s problem of not being laid, as well…)
Also, Joe, here’s an opportunity to start schmoozing her! If, y’know, she’ll let you.
…yes, I’m procrastinating homework again! This time it’s an English paper I’ve procrastinated three weeks. And a powerpoint for English as well. They’re due tomorrow. 8D
Love Dorothy’s look in the last panel.
She reminds me of the cast of Peanuts with that wide pout o.o but its still funny.
Danny x Amazi-Girl (in lieu of that, Amber will do, I guess)
Walky x Billie
Joe x Roz
…well, someone convince me who Joyce should end up with.
Walky and Billie? Huh? >_>
Also, I’m gonna go Joyce/Dorothy…just to be different.
I believe Walky has a crush on Billie that he hasn’t admitted to himself yet. Dorothy is only temporary.
Are they going to have drunken monkey sex?
Is there any other kind (in this fandom anyway)?
Premarital Hanky-Panky? Surely not.
How ’bout Sal/Roz or Billie/Roz? Either one would be…a hell of a ship.
Sal/Joyce. Joyce is already basically obsessed with her, Sal has enough religious knowledge from her years in Catholic school to convince Joyce that not all sin is bad, and Sal did go to an all-girls school during her teens. Not to mention she seems to love angering her parents.
Joyce x mike would be pretty fracking hilarious.
Also, Dina x Ruth.
Also WalkyxEthan!
Ow. Ow ow ow ow. Stop hurting my brain.
i’ve been thinking that since the start of this series. they’re just so vastly different. haha
ugh, i was trying to reply to cassidy’s joyce x mike comment. >_<
D: but its never mentioned WHY he hasn’t left his room and skipped class….though I think I know the answer… -_-
Danny is taking the Walkyverse!Jacob approach to failure.
Seems to be working well for the both of them.
I suppose….
I don’t care about Danny a bit, so I honestly wouldn’t give a crap if Danny went all emo or Amazi-girl obsessive (or both) but so help me if his pathetic depression ends up affecting another major characters life (especially one I happen to LIKE) in a negative way I will—
uhm…BE REALLY UPSET WITH DANNY AND WILLIS!!!
…D8 *not threatening…*
You’re seriously getting down on the guy for being depressed?
Wow, you’re a bongo.
NO.
I’m not getting on THIS universes Danny for getting depressed over being dumped! Thats understandable.
However, in the main walkyverse, Danny being depressed (what I got was he started drinking because of all his problems) led up to the events of Ruths death because he drove DRUNK trying to drink away all the depression. I simply don’t want a repeat of that with Ruth or any other character (jesus, not even Billie deserves Ruths horrible death in the Main Walkyverse).
Fair enough, Dahlia, fair enough. I will concede this one.
/knows when he’s jumped the gun
Walky looking nervously at Dorothy, Joe and Roz checking each other out, it’s great how one strip can cover sideplots like that without even needing wordspace to do so.
Thank you! I was working my way down the thread, hoping someone else would point it out…
Same here! Woot!
Yeah, it’s small details like that that make strips like these worth reading.
Seeing as I’ve never read the original comics all the way through (I’m trying, I swear), does Joe really have no empathy at all? Or tact?
He does, but he usually just thinks with his other head.
Yeah, I can think of a couple moments in itswalky where joe was considerate, but that’s a lot of comics for only two moments. He has a heart of gold to be sure, but you got to dig real deep to find it. Half the battle is just getting him to think about not sex for a moment, and good luck getting him to understand that a man can have problems beyond a dry streak.
If I had to guess, Joe just wants people to deal with their own crap. HE does it, so they should be just as capable.
But isn’t that what Danny is doing? He’s dealing with his crap in his own way which means mourning in his room.
I mean, so far we haven’t seen Danny ask Joe for emotional support. Joe is the one who showed up wanting to know if he can have sex with Dorothy after all.

Wth kind of colleges do you guys go to where they are that strict with attendance?
A lot of the classes I went to, if you miss three or so classes, they drop a letter grade. When I transferred to art school, if I missed more than two days, I’d have to take the quarter over.

Walky is all “ffff dat ass”
Blond bongoy Amber… I mean, Dorothy… looks cute while rolling her eyes and complaining. I imagine Danny was too busy admiring her to hear her when she bongoed before, hence being caught by surprise at the breakup.
“Aw, she’s doing that look again! … What’d you say, honey?”
That would explain a whole lot about their relationship…
And your avatar makes that better. Or worse. I couldn’t begin to guess which.
It can make it better AND worse.
That explains so much
I wonder if Joyce is still thinking about the Lesbian prerequisite.
Wouldn’t it be interesting, if Danny is the sacrifice of this universe? I mean, the way things are going, it’s a long road up from him being considered anything but a whiny brat who lost what he deserved to lose…but in death, he can whammy the hell out of Dorothy and, well, it would equal out the ‘drama gets real’ effect I’ve noticed Willis like to do.
The problem with Dorothy leaving Danny in Joe’s capable hands is that Joe would rather have Dorothy in his capable hands.
Knowing Joe, he’d have Dorothy in his capable hands, while Danny is trying to sleep in the bunk beneath them.
I’m thinking Joe needs to be more of a bro in this universe. Popped collars, self-tanning, and ripped.
Is Dorothy that short or is Joe that tall?
Wait, wasn’t Danny in that class a couple of strips ago? What’s going on, did he learn how to teleport? Also, chuckled at Walky’s expression in the second panel and at Joe’s in the fourth. Also, I know where Joe is coming from.
Not unless Danny was suddenly a redhead for one panel!
knowing you, he probably was
Am I missing something or is it totally strange to me that all the people from Shortpacked! went to college together, and there’s NO mention of college days in the comic?
Look up at the top of the page. Click About.
You know what Danny needs? For Joe to have a scandal to keep his mind off things.
Yeah but what are the odds of that happening?
Dammit Joe, you’re his only friend, you have ONE job.
