      Later, in the future, Walky runs a successful business empire based on purchasing, and then sharing for a fee, various milkshakes and other cold sweet treats.

      Dotty: “But how do you even make money off of this?”
      Walky: “Volume, repeat customers, and tons of hidden fees.”
      Dotty: “I never knew you could be so manipulative.”
      Walky: “This isn’t actually a business, I just want to drink a milkshake.”

          I read “hammerspace” as Homestuck. XD And while Homestuck is not a bad place to get booze from, I am fairly certain there are no milkshakes to be had.

      I hope Walky tells her too, but I could see Dorothy feeling even worse if he tells her that he didn’t want to say anything for fear she might judge him for not being as capable as she is (as irrational as that seems on the surface, since we know Dorothy genuinely likes Walky), which goes back to Billie’s “you’re too perfect to be relatable theory”

    You know, Walky’s a natural in a way that’s totally different from Roz, and in a way Dorothy is really into. Maybe he’ll be able to help her find the answers to the problems she can’t think and organize her way out of. And then they’ll become the weirdest power couple ever.

      Obviously he needs two straws because in doubling the total cross-sectional area of straw he can halve the effective force applied to the drink and artificially extend its duration.

    Something tells me that, right now, Dorothy needs Walky to be… well… Walky. That’s all she needs to feel better.

    Meanwhile, I really think that Walky should think about giving her a hug; I really think that she needs one right now.

      Milkshake first, hug later.

      Dotty will still be sad later, but the milkshake will not be cold later.

      My logic is absolute!

    I admire Dorothy’s stamina. I am weak, if I got drunk that early in the day, it means nap time. Immediately.

    Studying/being productive at all = completely impossible.

    My first thought was her wire-frame glasses would be bent laying her head against the pillow like that without taking them off. Second thought was this is the first time she and Walky make out while she is drunk.

        Pretty sure that Dorothy would reckognise the painting “The Swing” -and- know what it’s really about* as it showed up in the movie. This would remind her her own moments of “being on a swing” with Walky. Resisting to kiss him would be impossible.

        *Very short version, it’s about a woman reaching her climax during sex. That’s Disney for you, always putting in dirty stuff like that.

    Panel One: Yeah, this seems about right for a Tuesday night for Walky. Just hanging out in his bed playing on his phone. Or texting. Or web surfing. Wonder what he’s looking at or who he’s talking to. Is it too much to ask he’s looking for how to drop math?

    Panel Two: Hello, Dorothy. She looks so disgruntled and annoyed here. Whether that’s with Grace or because she’s upset about her social skills and apparent image is up to anyone. I’m thinking a little of both.

    Panel Three: Awwwwwww, this is so cute! This reminds me of Joyce crawling into Ethan’s bed for cuddles when she was sad. Or Billie crawling into Walky’s bed. And yeah, it’s awkward and hard to navigate when stuff like that happens, especially if you aren’t sure what’s wrong.

    Panel Four: Unlike Ethan or himself when Billie crawled in, Walky seems to be taking this pretty well. He’s casual and joking and seems more like he’s talking to himself than Dorothy. Meanwhile, Dorothy is sad and kind of pensive. She’s definitely deep in thought.

    Panel Five: And is promptly yanked out of those depressing thoughts by Walky goofing around. She’s smiling again, wryly noting yeah, she loves this doofus. And he’s happy to make jokes that will make her smile. And of course, happy not to share his milkshake that I’m guessing was on the foot of the bed? Oh, Walky. You dork.

    Not quite doofuses, but they’re very cute! Dooooooooorks.

Who should be the default doodle for Book 14?

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).

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
