Well, he DOES seem to be a few executive orders away from going full on Caligula crazy, sooooo… maybe a blood sacrifice to the spirits of Saturnalia isn’t that far off as as possibility…
Look, if random people you don’t normally hang out with don’t get political at inappropriate and uncomfortable times, how would we even know that it was the holidays?
I learned what happens if you raise a child letting them do whatever they want and never punish them. They become a spoiled, self-centered little bongo like Michelle.
I don’t know, maybe in another AU I could see these two having a lot in common…assuming Willis would be willing to make another which I don’t know if he will.
That’s a lie. Your time stamp clearly states December 25th. If that’s not true then next you’ll be telling me that Jesus wasn’t born on the 25th or even in December.
Oh, I can top that. Scholars have learned that the modern, Gregorian calendar, is actually about three years off. So Joshua ben Joseph, was actually born about 3 BC (Before Christ)!
Can we hijack the hacked muzak for some offbeat Christmas music today? Anybody can play Burl Ives or Bing Crosby this time of year.
My suggestions:
“The Season’s Upon Us” – Dropkick Murphys
“The Stocking Song” – Steel Panther (obviously NSFW)
“Santa Claus and His Old Lady” – Cheech & Chong
“Silver Bells” – Twisted Sister
Or if you want to be more traditional, just play The Carpenters’ “Christmas Portrait”. They only seem to play “Merry Christmas, Darling” on the radio, but the entire album’s great.
For dark comedy gratuitous violence silliness, there’s always Weird Al with “Christmas at Ground Zero” and “The Night Santa Went Crazy”. And maybe No Doubt’s “Oi to the World”.
Please permit me to share a hallowed Canadian Christmas tradition: ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ as sung by Bob and Doug MacKenzie (whom you may remember from SCTV back in the day, you hosers):
I guess I’m just a jaded asshole, but I actually didn’t care much for how this scene played out. As in the past few strips of Garbage Roof. While it was in character, I guess, it just felt so unfulfilling as a reader. But I’m the type to always be critical and I realize such a view is not always welcome.
Amber finally breaking out of her downward spiral – even only slightly or temporarily – has been pretty fulfilling for me. It’s an important turn for both her and Walky’s character arcs.
Yeah, I am inclined to think it’s just affection from him. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t bean Billie, though, since he’s described her as like a sister to him multiple times. Of course, she also drunkenly hit on Sal, so who knows how she feels about that. She did go lay in his bed when she was upset about Ruth.
Yeah, but considering Billie seems to consider Walky off the relationship table because he’s like a brother, whereas Sal was definitely on the ‘I’d bang her’ table, I don’t see them as sisterly.
I know I pop in and out of here sporradically, but Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! (I do, but I also celebrate the Solstice and Hanukkah. In general, I am down for any holiday that = parties + good food + maybe presents.)
If you don’t celebrate, enjoy the day and remember: there are going to be a LOT of sales on things December 26th – and that includes delicious, delicious candy! (Y’all have NO idea how much candy I’ve eaten since the beginning of December…)
I think I’m a bit late for commenting, but happy holidays. I’m having a lovely day with my family and I hope everyone else is, whether this is a day of special significance to them or not.
You can still celebrate Agnostica, too. It began on December 14, but it has a half-life of ten days and is generally at a detectable level well into January.
Moebius Chains and Glögi for everyone! Don’t look in that unopened box. Do grab something from the Random Bag of Fun.
“HO HO HO!… I mean, in the ‘jolly laugh’ sense. Not in the… Other sense. ”
Anyways, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Enjoyable Saturnalia or Entertaining Midwinter Blót, or whatever else holidays or gods you may or may not worship out there, to all of you.
Merry Christmas, all. Even if you don’t celebrate it, I hope it’s a good day for you. If you’re up to it, try to have some company today. Nobody should be alone on Christmas, if they don’t want to be.
He thinks he’s inviting A-G, he doesn’t know Amber at all. Which means it would be a spectacularly awkward threesome!
…Which I suspect is actually fairly common for those who don’t do it frequently.
As someone has set up some a few successful threesomes and foursomes, I can tell you one thing – it is NEVER not awkward. Experience lets you steer into the awkward, make it a joke, but it is always there. Always.

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

“WHAT WAS THE FIRST RULE OF GARBAGE ROOF”
…. throwing around garbage?
THAT IS A COLLECTABLE, YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!
What a waste. She’s probably not even a Dexter fan.
She immediately recognised it as rare, so it looks like she’s at least keeping up to date on the toy range.
This is AMBER. She probably knows its current market value.
He did describe it as rare a few strips back.
I dunno, if it bounces from her head off the roof, that distinction may change rather rapidly.
I have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s CLEARLY been removed from its original packaging.
Don’t forget the fourth rule. No littering.
On Garbage roof loitering is littering.
High velocity aerial toy delivery
Santa gets more and more efficient every year
His Kingle Kannon can hit anywhere on earth with pinpoint accuracy.
Walky Claus. I’m ok with this.
He’s makin’ a list
And checkin’ it never because that would be studying.
I thought list making was more Joe’s thing.
He’s making a list
And chucking toys twice
Once at his girlfriend, and
Once just to be nice
Walky Claus is coming to Garbage Roooof!
He sees you when you hate yourself,
He knows that you’re garbage
He knows if you’re on garbage roof,
So be garbage for garbage’s sake!
Happy solstice, and let’s sacrifice some king or other to make the sun return again!
I vote Trump.
….. is a phrase I never thought I’d say.
Since he obviously does consider himself to be king, We hereby declare that he is a legitimate choice for this ritual.
Better a king than an emperor, right?
Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
Well, he DOES seem to be a few executive orders away from going full on Caligula crazy, sooooo… maybe a blood sacrifice to the spirits of Saturnalia isn’t that far off as as possibility…
Even during the holidays people just can’t help being political.
One of those people is Donald “there’s totally a war on Christmas never mind all those times Obama said ‘Merry Christmas'” Trump
Look, if random people you don’t normally hang out with don’t get political at inappropriate and uncomfortable times, how would we even know that it was the holidays?
No, you are getting your holidays mixed up. Getting political at inappropriate and uncomfortable times is Thanksgiving.
So are Walky and Amber/AG gonna date now?
She’s been marked now. She cannot escape the ship.
Polygamy? Each of them fills a few holes in the other’s personality and fulfills some of their needs. It could be worse.
Wow… talked about filling holes and it wasn’t even meant to be dirty…
“I got gaps, and she’s got gaps, and together, we fill gaps.”
If so, it seems like it will be Amber with the boyfriend this time, not AG.
I must say, I’m not on-board with this “no hugging” thing.
DID WE LEARN NOTHING FROM FULL HOUSE?!?!?!?
I’m pretty sure I learned nothing from Full House.
Did anyone learn anything from Full House*?
*As in, lessons intended to be learned. I’m sure it taught us a lot of things it didn’t intend to.
I’ve never done drugs. Did they cover that in any episodes? Maybe that’s why.
There was that one episode when Michelle was starting to sell weed in kindergarden…
I thought it was uppers and ‘roids?
Though weed would certainly explain her perpetual desire for munchies.
I learned not to watch Full House.
We’re going by Seinfeld rules. No hugging, no learning.
Happy Festivus.
Festivus yes!
Bagels NO!
Garbage Roof would be a great place for the Airing of Grievances.
full house is a damn good show and anyone that says otherwise can watch reruns of it on night time television
I learned what happens if you raise a child letting them do whatever they want and never punish them. They become a spoiled, self-centered little bongo like Michelle.
Yeah Willis, feed the shippers.
I don’t know, maybe in another AU I could see these two having a lot in common…assuming Willis would be willing to make another which I don’t know if he will.
Walky liking someone = toys thrown at that person’s head.
Merry Christmas!
Toy delivery to “head”, ETA = 5 seconds.
Also, Merry Christmas everyone (even if it’s two hours away for me)!
That’s a lie. Your time stamp clearly states December 25th. If that’s not true then next you’ll be telling me that Jesus wasn’t born on the 25th or even in December.
*gasp* did you know he wasn’t? o-o
Oh, I can top that. Scholars have learned that the modern, Gregorian calendar, is actually about three years off. So Joshua ben Joseph, was actually born about 3 BC (Before Christ)!
JC was born before Herod died in 4–5 BC and while Quirinius was governor of Syria in 6–7 AD, during a census that never took place.

While it was in character, I guess, it just felt so unfulfilling as a reader. But I’m the type to always be critical and I realize such a view is not always welcome.
You’re just a jaded asshole, yeah
Amber finally breaking out of her downward spiral – even only slightly or temporarily – has been pretty fulfilling for me. It’s an important turn for both her and Walky’s character arcs.
That’s pretty cute.
OK I’m starting to ship Walky and Amber, even though I already ship Walky and Dorothy.
Well, since I ship Amber and Dorothy, I think it might just work.
Catamaran
Ya’ I think “deriving its stability from its wide beam,” is certainly approriate for this ship.
walky: 2 steps forward, 1 step back.
Walky’s method of hitting on women is certainly unique, but time will tell if it is effective or not.
100% success rate so far…
…. though, presumably, he tried this techinque on Billie sometime during childhood. But 100% that we know of.
I mean, he also probably did it to Sal at some point, so it may be a more general expression of affection than romance.
Yeah, I am inclined to think it’s just affection from him. Doesn’t mean he wouldn’t bean Billie, though, since he’s described her as like a sister to him multiple times. Of course, she also drunkenly hit on Sal, so who knows how she feels about that. She did go lay in his bed when she was upset about Ruth.
I don’t think Billie and Sal have ever really seen each other as sisters.
They got a moment of sisterly bonding here
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-3/03-answers-in-hennessy/familyyy/
Yeah, but considering Billie seems to consider Walky off the relationship table because he’s like a brother, whereas Sal was definitely on the ‘I’d bang her’ table, I don’t see them as sisterly.
Joyce ships it.
It’s the only way he knows how to love (or show appreciation).
Ship confirmed?
Thingley belts, Thingley belts
Toys at someone’s head
It is not because he’s mean
It means that he likes you
Dammit Walky, this is Garbage Roof. Not Bean-Someone-In-The-Head-With-A-Toy Roof.
Given Amber’s nerdiness what Walky did with that toy is almost blasphemy in her eyes.
Ah, Garbage Roof season, it’s my favorite season of the year. May the spirit of Garbage Roof infect everyone tonight! Dab bless!
dab
dab dab dab
Now DAB look what DAB you’ve DAB DAB DAB
DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB DAB
Wasn’t sure which verb was most appropriate. Infect? Infest? Infiltrate? Inflict? Inflame? Infringe?
Inflect.
Chef Alien? That’s gotta be a one-of-few.
I think this is the beginning of a godawful, terrible friendship.
Hitting on Amber/AG, does that mean he wants a threesome or is it foursome?
You always know what to say to make me laugh Mongoose.
Unless Amber/AG are present at the SAME TIME, it is at most a rotating threesome.
That’s the limits when you share the same body.
…it is at most a rotating threesome.
*pictures a spitroast*
Now the real question is, who’s the one(or possibly two) that is getting spit-roasted?
I’m sure everyone’s fair game.
**opens mouth**
**closes mouth**
…I’ll be in my bunk.
When Walky hits on girls, he literally hits them
He aims well.
WALKY ! How could you I thought throwing valuable toys at the head was a intimate thing only you and Dorothy shared.
Throwing and eating stuff is just his way of expressing emotions he doesn’t understand, attraction, gratitude, shame, etc
Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays, Willis and DOA fandom!
…I didn’t ship Walky and Amber.
…until now.
Walky throwing a toy is SERIOUS level of flirting.
He’s already been biting his lip, that’s a strong sign of attraction, for him…
I know I pop in and out of here sporradically, but Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates! (I do, but I also celebrate the Solstice and Hanukkah. In general, I am down for any holiday that = parties + good food + maybe presents.)
If you don’t celebrate, enjoy the day and remember: there are going to be a LOT of sales on things December 26th – and that includes delicious, delicious candy! (Y’all have NO idea how much candy I’ve eaten since the beginning of December…)
I think I’m a bit late for commenting, but happy holidays. I’m having a lovely day with my family and I hope everyone else is, whether this is a day of special significance to them or not.
I am reasonably sure that, at this moment, a good 30% of the weight of my ass by volume is mince pies.
You can still celebrate Agnostica, too. It began on December 14, but it has a half-life of ten days and is generally at a detectable level well into January.
Moebius Chains and Glögi for everyone! Don’t look in that unopened box. Do grab something from the Random Bag of Fun.
I wish I could throw a toy at your head.
“HO HO HO!… I mean, in the ‘jolly laugh’ sense. Not in the… Other sense. ”
Anyways, have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Enjoyable Saturnalia or Entertaining Midwinter Blót, or whatever else holidays or gods you may or may not worship out there, to all of you.
Well I am glad someone finally did it.
Uh-oh
We have walky foreplay
In his simple way, Walky can be sweet sometimes. However, as matters stand, Amber feels unworthy of being the bearer of Limited Edition Chef Dexter.
I hope Amber realizes she is at least worthy of Ranger Guy.
Wow, I finally made it through the entire DoA archive.
Can’t wait to see Billie and Ruth reunite.
Merry Christmas, Willis and everyone!
Oooi don’t go court Amber, Walky.
Well that’s a throwback.
Merry Christmas, all. Even if you don’t celebrate it, I hope it’s a good day for you. If you’re up to it, try to have some company today. Nobody should be alone on Christmas, if they don’t want to be.
Gonna trust you so hard, baby.
Given what happened the last time Walky threw a toy at a girls head, I think he just inadvertently invited Amber to a 3some.
“inadvertently”
He thinks he’s inviting A-G, he doesn’t know Amber at all. Which means it would be a spectacularly awkward threesome!
…Which I suspect is actually fairly common for those who don’t do it frequently.
As someone has set up some a few successful threesomes and foursomes, I can tell you one thing – it is NEVER not awkward. Experience lets you steer into the awkward, make it a joke, but it is always there. Always.
I love Walky.
Seasons Greetings, oh puny humans – pardon me if I hack the Muzak and play Nunc Dimmitus
“Sorry, I’ll take it back.”
“I didn’t say that.“
…. since it’s gone unmentioned so far, let me just call out how Panel 4 Walky is thinking about how Panel 3 Amber’s speech bubbles apply to him.
…yeah, I ship it.
Toys thrown at heads don’t lie.
Watch out, Amber, that’s a Walky mating call.
*attenborough voice* And here we see the lesser spotted Walkington displaying his courtship behaviour.
Quick, someone update the Dumbing of Age TV Tropes page under “callback”.
Happy holidays, everybody!
I can’t even get into how many times this comic has saved my life. Thank you Willis. <3
I give it to you!
I knew that this thread was working up to a thrown toy.
