    I’ve carried giant bags of stuffed animals to multiple apartments, and they are not that heavy. Mrs. Brown, you are a weakling.

    I remember the first time I read this strip, I thought that the old woman in the last panel was Becky, and she had to carry so many bags of Joyce’s stuffed animals that she became an old woman, but now I’m rereading it and I feel stupid.

    Wait, why is Walky in the room talking to his parents when Billie is still standing at the head of the line? Walky was behind her.

    My previous (male) roommate left two giant bags of stuffed animals when he left our apartment. I found them 4 months later when I was moving out and had no idea what to do with them so I just left them there.

    Confession. When I first saw this one, the only other character I saw was Mike, and I thought he was Johnny Bravo.

    Just re-read through what’s available of It’s Walky! for the first time in ten years and I’ve just started this… I must say, just as I clicked to go to the next comic, I noticed Mike and had to back track. Seeing all the characters acting natural in a new environment put quite a smile on my face.

    Can’t wait to keep reading and see where this strip goes.

    I bid the possibility of sleep farewell.
