            Actually no, that’s not a shortpacked comic. I actually saw that as an ad for this site on a different webcomic. I think it might be a rejected comic idea that Willis did or one he just did for an advertisement.

        Yes, of course. In this universe they try to be more discrete about their inclinations, and so they’re purposefully walking off in separate directions, trying to act as if they’re not hooking up for some hot pre-marital hanky-panky later.

    I think all college campuses are designed using non-Euclidean geometry. We had a staircase we called the ‘M.C. Escher Memorial Staircase’ – it had an odd hidden switchback to it that meant it was about two flights longer than it looked like from the top or bottom.

      All I know is that if you drop a super bouncy-ball made in the 1950’s (The Space Age) down the stairwell shaft from the 11th floor of the RLM building at the University of Texas, it will bounce back up to the 9th floor, but if you do the same with a bouncy-ball made in the 1990’s (The Grunge Era) it will only reach the 6th, maaayyybe 7th floor. Sounds like proof enough to me.

        The University of Texas is a prime example! No matter where you are or where you’re going, your destination is always uphill. It’s like the hills shift around you.

        Meanwhile, Baylor has a system of mostly unnavigated tunnels, canals, and such under campus and is rumored to have a room resembling black and white patterned hallway in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. It serves no purpose.

    OH SWEET! No Danny/ Joyce at all! Nice! (No Danny/Sal would be nice, too, but thats not my main concern atm…I actually wanna see Amber and Danny give a relationship a try just to know how they would suit each other.)

    Huh…INTERESTING…I love this, hes a bumbling idiot when Dorothy arrives but back to normal when shes outta eye-sight/ear-shot! (Which makes me wonder if he took notes during class or missed something important hes going to have to ask Joyce about, causing them to have to spend more time together…)

        I’ll always be a fan of Joyce x Walky, and find their relationship in this universe refreshing as opposed to the main Walkyverse where Walky was crushing on Joyce from day 1 (their romance was still complicated and awesome despite the immediate love, Go Willis!) and I kinda hope Dorothy develops something and it becomes a sort of rivalry (because they’re both good people and honestly every love rivalry I’ve seen is a good person vs. a bad person…Willis is a talented writer as well as artist, so if he decided they go down that path it will be an epic love story without cheesiness or gush and if not there will be an alternative just as good.)

    It’s funny, actually. I think it’s pretty interesting how this Walky sort of has the two extremes. I was just thinking “Hang on, Walky is openly savvy in this universe, that’s odd”, and then a girl he likes shows up and he’s a blithering idiot.

    This could make a for an interesting experiment. Testing how social skils and intellect can lower and raise up when you add and remove Dorothy from Walky’s presence.

    I’m guessing this is going to be one of those unrequited love stories and then ends up with Walky finally moving on after years of embarassment, at which point Dorothy realized that she likes him, but it’s too late.

    Unless that already happened in the original comics, because if so then Willis will probably do something different. But again, I haven’t read them all yet.

    My college campus was the same way. Except it was in West Virginia, so it was uphill both ways in the snow.

      Pretty sure Indiana gets snow, too (at least, it did when I was a kid.) It’ll be years before we get to winter at this rate, though.

        indiana gets snow, ice, hail, tornadoes, below 0 degrees and above 90, it should be called the crazy weather state.

    I’m also surprised the comments here don’t use disqus, like over on Shortpacked!.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).

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. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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
