Just tell the app not to do that or turn it off for the work chat. I left mine on but turned it off for my CNA job chat, for obvious reasons. It’s in the settings generally and in the settings for the chat.
Walky’s going to kiss Lucy and a ray of pure energy will blast out of her as she assumes her form of fifth element. A sliver of this emergy will hit the delorean and send marty back to 1984. Scotty will tap some of this to jump start their klingon bird of prey and take george and gracey to the federation. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the walky kiss.
Well this guy looks like a dork. I bet Walky could beat him easy in a contest of physical aptitude. If you don’t know yet that’s the only thing that matters when two masculine identifying individuals meet for the first time. This should go well for Walky. Yes this was 99% sarcasm.
One of the most disrespectful things I ever saw was a hockey game where a Tampa Bay player tried to fight someone on the Boston Bruins. The Bruins player just looked down at the guy, laughed and skated off.
I was getting repeated ads for shapewear. I cleared my cookies and now there are new ones instead.
Sometimes I search for puppies, so that I can get cute dog advertisements.
Probably my favorite was the time I had an ad for some kind of anti-HIV drug on one side of the page, and hats with right wing political themes on the other. I’d love to know what kind of algorithm managed to spit out that combo, since both completely failed to engage my interest but in completely different ways.
Yeah, he’s honestly in some ways an ideal one. She already knew some of his goofier tendencies well before they began dating, so expectations are managed. He’s been pretty open and honest with her, so there’s that, too. He also really hasn’t been pushy about doing things she isn’t ready for.
All in all, a good starter boyfriend whether or not the two last for the long haul.
he has drip, as the kids say (or does that only apply to clothes and not hair? either way his clothes are nice too, distinct but not over the top flashy lol [then again that might stick out more unless it was a fantasy genre versus slice of life])
Yeah, for a second I literally thought he was wearing an unflattering hat, possibly to make fun of an anime character. Like, a tall tight fade can look great on many fellows, but sad to say, Lyle looks like a chicken.
I don’t really care for either of his haircuts, but I definitely prefer the Walkyverse haircut of the two. I’ve never seen the appeal of the “undercut” hairstyle in general, it just looks bad to me.
1. A New Jersey summertime county fair. Cotton candy, funnel cake, games, maybe even an amusement ride or two, maybe some mini-golf nearby… fireworks in the evening if you are lucky… just nice beachside or semi-rural summertime New Jersey fun.
What about you? What would be a fun first date (or first platonic friendly get together) for you?
You should! It’s like Chuck E. Cheeses, except there’s no creepy animatronic band, the pizza is actually good, and of all things you could win anime merchandise!!!
Finding out you’re both going to the same game convention and arranging to be in at least one one-shot together? Can that count as a date?
My ex-wife and I never really ‘dated,’ we met online with half a country between us, and stayed that way for the first three years of our relationship.
My now-husband took me to the Pokemon XY demo as a pre-date. Our first official date, we went to the movies to see a sequel to a horror movie. I kept telling him he would see the spooky ghost on his way back home hahaha.
I always get the names of horror movie franchises mixed up, so I’ll just say it was the one with the violin going REEEE. If you know, you know.
My boyfriend isn’t much of a romantic (demi in fact) but he once took an old gf on the most romantic first date possible entirely by accident. They had pizza on the beach in Italy at sunset. They were just there (damn europeans and their easy travel) and he felt like getting pizza.
I told him he’s recreating that with me one day except on purpose
Awww… so lovely! You should do it! If you like wine, you can polish it off with a bottle of Chianti split while seated on the grass underneath some Roman ruins. (Or you can split an espresso, or sparkling water, or whatever you like.) Italy was made for romance.
Until Walky and Lucy have been together for a while, does he really have a reason to know it? I don’t bother intentionally learning people’s names until I’ve met them at least twice, because that’s space I could be using to remember another new Pokemon.
You don’t need to know the name David. You do need to know the name Quaxly as you cry that no one in the world chose Quaxly and everyone needs it for their dex.
I received 6 different Charmanders while trading out Quaxly alone and got 1 Quaxly back at all ever out of all the trades I ever did in the entire time of trying to complete my dex. Charmander isn’t even in the main dex and I’ve got 8 of them in total!
I didn’t even choose Quaxly as my starter, I used a second account to get it, traded to my partner, traded it to my main account, then bred and traded them out. I hatched a shiny female one though which was neat.
The number of “thirst” faces people have for other people in a decade of DoA has to be getting close to triple digits. Lucy just recently went nearly catatonic when Walky took off his shirt. But “cutie” is objectificarion?
God forbid an 18-year-old get excited about having a boyfriend. You also don’t know her relationship with her brother at all, since he literally just showed up, but doesn’t seem to creeped out by his sis.
Sending ten pictures of someone to anyone is getting weird and mildly creepy. Dozens? That’s getting real creepy and weird, and if someone did that with my pictures, it’d be a second sign to get me gone quick.
The first one would be then taking that many pictures in the first place, of course.
a plague has hit our house
both children singing billie eilish's "what was i made for" but entirely in "meows"
we can't get them to stop
it's been weeks
please send help
The plantation burning reminds me of when the residential school burnt down in Shubenacadie.
I was very young. Not understanding why we were all there watching a scary looking building burning. Cars lined up all over both sides of the road. It seemed like the entire rez population (1)
Someone is citing the MA constitutional provision explicitly allowing the state to impede federal marshals enforcing the fugitive slave act, DAMN the average citizen is radicalized
you’re laughing. the largest antebellum plantation house burned down & there are brides who will not get to spiritually absorb the poisoned spectral energy of the land for their big day, & you’re laughing.
Me if I ever see Tony Hawk: Hey you’re Tony Hawk the famous skateboarder. That’s right I recognise you. Won’t be able to get any content out of this will you, you piece of shit
How to read all 28 issues of my Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane run on Marvel Unlimited:
1: The first four issues were published as the miniseries "Mary Jane."

today in #9chickweedlane i learned we have to be shown children learning and relearning what sex is, for Reasons, even though they already clearly know and have prepared nuanced questions about it!
also that Gran must hate, if she's still alive, how Old Juliette is the same but with gray hair
one of my favorite things is when a commenter explodes WHEN DO THESE CHARACTERS GET THERAPY but directed towards a character who canonically has a regular therapist

this is my pain every time there’s an office party, influx of photos that AUTOMATICALLY SAVE TO MY PHONE bc fuckin WhatsAp

Oh God, has he lived the last few months of dumb drama through the Lucy filter? I wonder what it looked like when Jennifer moved in
And when Malaya moved in.
She probably sent him the photo she took here:
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/01-face-the-strange/lucy-glenn/
wow Lucy
Well maybe he knows a bit of what to expect? This can only go great or completely awful, there is no middle ground.
Yes, but awful comes in many flavors.
This is the first boyfriend Lucy has had who knew and agreed that they were her boyfriend
Very exciting day
What if it’s the opposite? What if this is Lucy holding back? Not even her final form of boyfriend obsession.
Her dial is currently turned to ten.
…Out of 100.
It goes up to eleventy-one.
ok your comment gave me mirai nikki flashback. Nooope
The first time Walky kisses her, poor Lyle’s going to be vaporized by the excitement blasting out of his phone.
Walky’s going to kiss Lucy and a ray of pure energy will blast out of her as she assumes her form of fifth element. A sliver of this emergy will hit the delorean and send marty back to 1984. Scotty will tap some of this to jump start their klingon bird of prey and take george and gracey to the federation. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the walky kiss.
The beam of light will also fall upon Stripe, saving Gizmo and Christmas fromm the Gremlins
The light will draw Turbo and his Cybugs into the liiiiight, saving candytown
Evidence suggests you are a fan of Pixar.
Well this guy looks like a dork. I bet Walky could beat him easy in a contest of physical aptitude. If you don’t know yet that’s the only thing that matters when two masculine identifying individuals meet for the first time. This should go well for Walky. Yes this was 99% sarcasm.
As a virile straight masculine man, I don’t trust a guy who couldn’t kick my ass. What is he hiding? Why can’t, or worse, WON’T he kick my ass?
I won’t kick your ass because I don’t know where you are. And you give us dirty drawings. And you seem nice. And I don’t kick people’s asses.
Rule of life. Never kick an ass you might have a use for latter.
But in a non-sexual way. Unless that’s your thing.
One of the most disrespectful things I ever saw was a hockey game where a Tampa Bay player tried to fight someone on the Boston Bruins. The Bruins player just looked down at the guy, laughed and skated off.
Reminds me of this sketch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETSit2XvZjI
So that’s why they poached Brady.
/s
Because not everybody is interested in a real-world enemies-to-lovers arc?
You joke, but Walky does have some hang ups about masculinity. I
‘Walky does have some hang ups about masculinity.’
Not having any, for starters.
I don’t think Walky has to worry about competing with him specifically.
Today’s strip is sponsored by Midwest Military, who wants to sell me an Army truck. Nice try. I already owe on a vehicle.
I’ve gotten some really weird ads on this site now and again. Like, the kind of t-shirt designs you’d expect to see Toedad wearing.
I was getting repeated ads for shapewear. I cleared my cookies and now there are new ones instead.
Sometimes I search for puppies, so that I can get cute dog advertisements.
I tied that and my ads got very Chewie. But I know where to get a Kong for my kitten now.
Probably my favorite was the time I had an ad for some kind of anti-HIV drug on one side of the page, and hats with right wing political themes on the other. I’d love to know what kind of algorithm managed to spit out that combo, since both completely failed to engage my interest but in completely different ways.
Well, both Indiana and Ohio are red states. That would explain who they’re trying to target.
Lyle, Lyle
been a while
the decade of art improvement has certainly been kind to lyle!
I’d forgotten that strip existed.
Wow.
That, um… creates certain expectations for this plotline going forward.
man his hair looks so much nicer now
My youngest niece brought her boyfriend to Thanksgiving last year, so we *all* got to interrogate him at once.
Ah, he isn’t no new character, after all….
I literally finished Shortpacked today, and that was one of the strips I read. Today.
“The back of my boyfriend’s head”
Hot.
it would be a good ref, idk how many ppl take pics of the back of their head/get to really see it other than in the salon after a haircut
I mean depending on how you have sex, you can definitely see a lot of the back of someone’s head.
I don’t want to know what kind of sex you’re having to see the back of your own head.
Maybe standing between two opposing mirrors, so you get to see infinite reflections of yourself and your partner.
A grand and intoxicating innocence.
Doesnt everyone have an out of body experience during strong orgasms? Is it just me?
Aaaaahhhhh! She’s so cute and excited! I love that for Lucy.
Oh Lucy I worry so much for you
well, walky’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s not the worst first boyfriend to have lol
Yeah, he’s honestly in some ways an ideal one. She already knew some of his goofier tendencies well before they began dating, so expectations are managed. He’s been pretty open and honest with her, so there’s that, too. He also really hasn’t been pushy about doing things she isn’t ready for.
All in all, a good starter boyfriend whether or not the two last for the long haul.
But that doesn’t mean that first heartbreak won’t be devastating. And probably sooner than she expects.
Ah, Lyle. Here’s hoping you’re better at meeting Lucy’s boyfriends than your counterpart was.
Hey Walky, You Schtupping my sister yet?
The irony is that Lucy might actually appreciate that here.
Yeah Walky? You schtupping me yet?
well, at least they’re actually dating as opposed to a friend she dragged into taking selfies together and in a ‘joking’/semi-delusional way
I wonder who was more obsessed with their significant other, Lucy with Walky, or Danny with Dorothy?
I’m half inclined to say Danny, because this is still really early for Lucy, whereas Danny followed Dorothy all the way to college…
Then again I haven’t even taken in Jennifer/Ruth into account.
Was Danny obsessed?
I thought he was just oblivious.
This Lyle has a way better haircut than Walkyverse Lyle.
he has drip, as the kids say (or does that only apply to clothes and not hair? either way his clothes are nice too, distinct but not over the top flashy lol [then again that might stick out more unless it was a fantasy genre versus slice of life])
I feel exactly the opposite.
Yeah, for a second I literally thought he was wearing an unflattering hat, possibly to make fun of an anime character. Like, a tall tight fade can look great on many fellows, but sad to say, Lyle looks like a chicken.
Lol! I was actually totally fine with the cut until this comment and now I can’t unsee it!
It’s a Snom on his head
I don’t really care for either of his haircuts, but I definitely prefer the Walkyverse haircut of the two. I’ve never seen the appeal of the “undercut” hairstyle in general, it just looks bad to me.
The only thing about this that I find hard to believe is that Walky had the patience to let Lucy take 40+ selfies with her at Taco Bell.
Maybe she used photo burst! That might be fast enough to catch him.
It absolutely looks like a photo-burst situation.
I WAS THINKING THIS SAME THING THANK YOU
Judging by the pics she just held her thumb on the button and got em all in a few seconds
Either they were spread out over the course of the day, or she got them done before he realized what was going on.
Or it wasn’t one trip, but over the course of many. I think they spend a lot of time at Taco Bell.
Watch the 41 pictures at Taco Bell be at Walky’s request, because Taco Bell.
So was having Taco Bell in the cafeteria together their first “date”?
Ok, well, who’s up for a game?
Q.: What’s a fun first date?
Ok, I’ll give it a try:
1. A New Jersey summertime county fair. Cotton candy, funnel cake, games, maybe even an amusement ride or two, maybe some mini-golf nearby… fireworks in the evening if you are lucky… just nice beachside or semi-rural summertime New Jersey fun.
What about you? What would be a fun first date (or first platonic friendly get together) for you?
Dave and Busters — because it has all that, plus AC and Japanese arcade games!
Oh, fun! I keep wanting to go to Dave & Busters but I never do.
You should! It’s like Chuck E. Cheeses, except there’s no creepy animatronic band, the pizza is actually good, and of all things you could win anime merchandise!!!
Daedra worship followed by a nice dinner.
Wow!
Dinner and legend — the 2 great tastes that taste great together. :-9
Ah, but which Daedra? There’re so many to consider.
I’m partial to Hermaeus Mora and Meridia, personally.
Mm, not bad. I personally favor Azura (particularly in her Khajiiti aspect as Azurah) to Meridia, but ol’ Hermorah’s not a bad pick as well.
Finding out you’re both going to the same game convention and arranging to be in at least one one-shot together? Can that count as a date?
My ex-wife and I never really ‘dated,’ we met online with half a country between us, and stayed that way for the first three years of our relationship.
That totally counts as a date! And a very sweet story, too.
My now-husband took me to the Pokemon XY demo as a pre-date. Our first official date, we went to the movies to see a sequel to a horror movie. I kept telling him he would see the spooky ghost on his way back home hahaha.
I always get the names of horror movie franchises mixed up, so I’ll just say it was the one with the violin going REEEE. If you know, you know.
That sounds AWESOME!
I can’t handle scary (or even mildly violent) movies, but every once in a while, they can be good fun!
My boyfriend isn’t much of a romantic (demi in fact) but he once took an old gf on the most romantic first date possible entirely by accident. They had pizza on the beach in Italy at sunset. They were just there (damn europeans and their easy travel) and he felt like getting pizza.
I told him he’s recreating that with me one day except on purpose
Awww… so lovely! You should do it! If you like wine, you can polish it off with a bottle of Chianti split while seated on the grass underneath some Roman ruins. (Or you can split an espresso, or sparkling water, or whatever you like.) Italy was made for romance.
A NEW PLAYER HAS JOINED THE GAME
I’m imagining Lyle as an XY version of Lucy, and am thus pining for him (if I were a third my age and not so married).
Yes, that unmistakable David Walkerton back headshot! You only wish people could identify you solely by the back of your head!
Funnily, I get a feeling that Lyle doens’t know Walky’s name.
Why would he know Walky’s name is David?
Until Walky and Lucy have been together for a while, does he really have a reason to know it? I don’t bother intentionally learning people’s names until I’ve met them at least twice, because that’s space I could be using to remember another new Pokemon.
You don’t need to know the name David. You do need to know the name Quaxly as you cry that no one in the world chose Quaxly and everyone needs it for their dex.
I traded out 91 of the things to people.
What the fuck, who’s not choosing Donald Duck as their starter? I want names and codes so I can spam them with requests for Pidgey.
I received 6 different Charmanders while trading out Quaxly alone and got 1 Quaxly back at all ever out of all the trades I ever did in the entire time of trying to complete my dex. Charmander isn’t even in the main dex and I’ve got 8 of them in total!
I didn’t even choose Quaxly as my starter, I used a second account to get it, traded to my partner, traded it to my main account, then bred and traded them out. I hatched a shiny female one though which was neat.
What a cutie!!! Hello, Lyle!
That’s objectification
People can be cute and still be people.
The number of “thirst” faces people have for other people in a decade of DoA has to be getting close to triple digits. Lucy just recently went nearly catatonic when Walky took off his shirt. But “cutie” is objectificarion?
Knowing taffy they’re moet likely joking
I can’t tell jokes, I’m autistic.
(They’re definitely joking)
Wow … um. Way to suddenly make Lucy real creepy there, Willis.
I guess she needed some kind of hook besides “As sweet as Joyce without the same issues.”
God forbid an 18-year-old get excited about having a boyfriend. You also don’t know her relationship with her brother at all, since he literally just showed up, but doesn’t seem to creeped out by his sis.
Sending ten pictures of someone to anyone is getting weird and mildly creepy. Dozens? That’s getting real creepy and weird, and if someone did that with my pictures, it’d be a second sign to get me gone quick.
The first one would be then taking that many pictures in the first place, of course.
What’s creepy about sending 526,600 pictures of your shiny new boyfriend to someone you care about?
Blowing up their data plan, thats what
I like the photos full of faces smashing together. It is very on-brand for Lucy.
Receiving 2 pictures, then 41 is a whiplash all on its own. I fear Lyle’s hair also.
Mmm, 11:39 am
Lyle is cute
Poor Lucy.
Hey Lyle. I like your style.
Lucy is me when hell freezes over and I’m not single tbh.
Lucy is so cute! úwù
I like the new Lyle design!! :3
