Hey, fan art is real art. As a person whose never generated fans or fan art, I feel very confident speaking about this in strong opinions on the internet.
maybe a little bit more responsibility unless he some how falls backwards into riches
other wise he’d be another one of those stereotypical “my husband is helpless without me/doesn’t help out with the kids/basically treats me as a mom/maid”
From persinal experience, mostly shit just doesn’t get done. Sometimes this is a blessing (the house does not actually need to look impressive to guests you don’t have) and sometimes it’s a curse (oh oops literally neither of us realized X needs to be done).
Our issues are in part caused by disability, like, I’m not treating my boyfriend like a maid because I just expect that of him, I’m doing it because each hospitalization is taking more and more time to recover from… Which is also something that never gets brought up re: the het dynamic… but they’re definitely also in part caused by us both having other priorities and that can be an issue.
Well it generally isn’t brought up in the het dynamic (as much) because women are as likely to be disabled as men are, and there is also the possibility of pregnancy which is a temporary but still difficult disability to work around. Yet women in het relationships are often expected to do the majority of the emotional and mental labour for the household, the housework, the child rearing, as well as taking care of their partner. Shile men in a het relationship often believe that working 40hrs entitles them to untouchable free time after even if it comes at their partner’s expense and often times don’t even notice the amount of pressure they’re putting on their partners (though there is the rare jerk who notices but doesn’t care).
The discussion of the het dynamic is about deeply internalised social pressures and sexism. While disability certainly impacts that (for one thing, women who become disabled or seriously ill are more likely to be left by their partners than men who become disabled or seriously ill), it does feel like a symptom of the issue at the moment. Or, at least, a separate issue to be discussed in its own light.
Intersectionality is so important, so I’m not suggesting that the issues aren’t related or don’t compound one another, but sometimes things do need to be discussed in isolation to begin working on the issue.
From my personal experience with wlw relationships, it’s about who has the most internalized sexism/mommy issues or who has the most spoons. The person who likes doing chores, or feels compelled to do chores, or feels guilty if they don’t do chores, or has more ability/time to do chores, does more chores.
This is actually a bit of a mystery to me cause I have no idea how the Walkertons make money. We don’t really know how many of the parents actually earn a living but neither Charles or Linda really seem like they work to me. Yet somehow the Walkertons seem very comfortably in the middle class, maybe even upper middle considering Sal’s boarding school tuition you mentioned. I’m curious.
It’s never really come up, but why would you think they don’t work? We haven’t seen enough of them to know, but also not even for it to be surprising that we haven’t seen it mentioned.
Don’t be fooled by his good looks and love of cartoons. Guy probably doesn’t know how to pay a bill, cook anything requiring more skill than boiling water, or pushing a button, pump gas, or have the capacity to command a child’s respect. He’s a project is what I’m saying. A hot project, who probably won’t cheat on you, but a project nonetheless.
Hm, when I was Walky’s age, I managed to burn ramen in the microwave. So don’t count him out just yet. If he ever learns that you can make larger quantities of certain tasties at home for less money and arguably less work (don’t have to go out and get them; they basically just cook themselves in the oven!), he’ll pick up at least some cooking quick-like.
Lyle has made more progress in 2 sentences than Lucy has in however long she’s been hopelessly pining for Walky before Dorothy laid him up for her. I ship it!
i had a mental image of Walky in an open relationship with both Lucy and Lyle before i could stop myself, and now i can’t decide if i find that irresistible or revolting
Illusive as in illusion, elusive as in elude. Not trying to cause ruckus over a trivial spelling thing, just wanted to share a cute mnemonic that one of my grade school English teachers showed me.
I wonder if there are inter-warring cartoon preferences in the Glenn household. Does Lyle like the DC/Dexter stuff like Lucy? Is he more of a Steven Universe/Avatar person? Does he consider Archer a cartoon?
They seem close in age. Dexter (whether the one with the lab or the one that murders people) is before their time. They’d have to look it up which requires special interest. Kinda the same with Avatar (the bending kind and the big blue cat people kind) both came out like 15 years ago. It’s probably more of a She-Ra remake/ Voltron remake versus Craig of the Creek/Teen Titans Go.
I’m not saying the shows didn’t air, just that if Lucy’s 18 than she would be a year old when Avatar the Last Airbender first debuted. Dexter’s Lab ended before she was born. Both Avatar’s are popular enough to remain in cartoon relevancy plus Avatar later had Legend of Korra but knowing about Dexter would mean they had an active interest in old cartoons. It’s close to 30 years old.
But Nono wasn’t even talking about that Dexter and I have no idea what the televised history of fictional cartoon Dexter and Monkey Master is.
Lucy’s eyes in the last panel are concerning, I get the feeling Walky’s statement has something to do with it. That, or she is upset that her brother is about steal her boyfriend.
lol it would be a bit more awkward tho if more guys were openly bi , i can imagine there would be siblings stealing each others partners but i imagine that’s kinda an unspoken rule/awkward tho i have heard of ppl marrying their sibling’s ex or so
but idk if it’d be worth the drama considering you have to live with your sibling if it’s during your high school years lol other than enjoying being petty
Entirely possible, and I don’t blame her. His behavior is getting old real fast, and it wasn’t all that funny to start with. Sorry, but I’m just not on the Lyle train.
Here’s my position: Yes, Lyle seems incredibly annoying. However, he is incredibly annoying in pretty much exactly the same way Walky is, and he’s aiming this at Walky. And much as I like Walky, it’s kind of fun to see him on the receiving end of this stuff.
Walky might end up being friends with him because of it. It will annoy him sometimes, embarrass him sometimes, but it will free him. I think Walky thinks (consciously or subconsciously) there has to be someone in everyone’s orbit that’s “the funny one”. Lyle in Walky’s orbit could relieve that pressure.
Lyle, your sister, who sent you no less than 40 pictures of her boyfriend, including at least one of the back of his head, has requested that you be normal about her relationship
Is Lyle gay? It is not actually relevant to him making the joke, but there’s nothing to contradict it as far as I’m aware so I choose to assume until demonstrated otherwise and I’m on board.
Reminds me of the tiktok with the straight guy making the marriage offer to other straight guys on the basis of being able to do w/e the frick they both want.
Walky: right now, turn to Lucy, take her lightly in your arms, kiss her softly and say, “Lucy Glenn, will you watch cartoons with me?”
It’s honest; it doesn’t commit you to anything permanent; she’ll like it; YOU’ll like it; and it should drive a big bloody spike through Lyle’s joke, so perhaps the three of you can begin a normal conversation.
I love Lyle so much right now.
If there’s a tipping scale between “this comic already has a big enough cast”, and “OMFG he’s hilarious! Keep him!” It’s tipped firmly to the 2nd side.
“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.
they managed to get the arms and thighs to be different grays, which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do, the way the mold's set up
though maybe they're just producing a lot of extra thighs and/or arms in the wrong colors and throwing those away, i dunno
Cops are overgrown children cosplaying War, with all the rest of us forced into their stupid, childish game without our consent, consuming vast funds from the public treasury and ruining lives by the hundreds of thousands.

Everybody Loves Walky
I once received two joke drawings of a less-known character of mine, and I told the artist, “now there are as many fan arts of him as real arts”
Hey, fan art is real art. As a person whose never generated fans or fan art, I feel very confident speaking about this in strong opinions on the internet.
immediately regretted saying real instead of “official” but apparently I have COVID now so I’m even more tired than usual! =/
I love the phrasing of “real arts”
You have a webcomic?
Easy come, easy go, Lucy. In fairness, I didn’t see the word “dibs” on any of those texts you sent Lyle, so Walky’s up for grabs. Them’s the rules.
Maybe you could seduce Sal away from Danny as a replacement? How are your Mario Kart skills?
Lyle my beloved
Lucy’s getting the brother all right.
I adore Lyle. I hope we get more than in Shortpacked.
He officially has as of now per the alt text, but yes!
Yeah! I sure hope he stays around longer than Liz
Feels like we already are, even
That bar has already been cleared
I love Lyle already
Yeah I’d marry Walky. He seems exactly my speed for a husband.
maybe a little bit more responsibility unless he some how falls backwards into riches
other wise he’d be another one of those stereotypical “my husband is helpless without me/doesn’t help out with the kids/basically treats me as a mom/maid”
I’ve never considered how that dynamic might manifest in a same sex relationship. /me ponders

Shile = While
oops!
hey, no one warned me that you were me

The person who likes doing chores, or feels compelled to do chores, or feels guilty if they don’t do chores, or has more ability/time to do chores, does more chores.
Ain’t now way he’s not a trust fund kid.
His mom has pull at the school and they could afford to send Sal to boarding school and then both to university.
This is actually a bit of a mystery to me cause I have no idea how the Walkertons make money. We don’t really know how many of the parents actually earn a living but neither Charles or Linda really seem like they work to me. Yet somehow the Walkertons seem very comfortably in the middle class, maybe even upper middle considering Sal’s boarding school tuition you mentioned. I’m curious.
Maybe Linda runs an MLM

Gah, not the oven, the stove. Yummy chicken nuggets from scratch work better on the stove. And then I guess a little oven time after if you want.
Lyle has made more progress in 2 sentences than Lucy has in however long she’s been hopelessly pining for Walky before Dorothy laid him up for her. I ship it!
We haven’t had a M/M ship since the timeskip. Give us something!
i had a mental image of Walky in an open relationship with both Lucy and Lyle before i could stop myself, and now i can’t decide if i find that irresistible or revolting
(i mean)
(it can be both)
I love Lucy’s eyes throughout.
Lucy, the great connoisseur, continues to have great faces!
https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/faces
*great connoisseur of faces!
Not sure how I messed that up.
Maybe she just has great taste!
Then again, she’s dating Walky for a serious boyfriend.Dumbing of Age Book 13: My Intentions Are To Not Watch Cartoons Alone
Its not all I want out of life, but it is a surprising large (and yet illusive) part of it.
Illusive as in illusion, elusive as in elude. Not trying to cause ruckus over a trivial spelling thing, just wanted to share a cute mnemonic that one of my grade school English teachers showed me.
on the other hand cartoons,, drawings that move, are pretty Illusive.
That is useful. Thank you.
Amazing what a difference a comma makes.
“My Intentions are to Not Watch Cartoons, Alone.”
I wonder if there are inter-warring cartoon preferences in the Glenn household. Does Lyle like the DC/Dexter stuff like Lucy? Is he more of a Steven Universe/Avatar person? Does he consider Archer a cartoon?
They seem close in age. Dexter (whether the one with the lab or the one that murders people) is before their time. They’d have to look it up which requires special interest. Kinda the same with Avatar (the bending kind and the big blue cat people kind) both came out like 15 years ago. It’s probably more of a She-Ra remake/ Voltron remake versus Craig of the Creek/Teen Titans Go.
I was gonna say Dexter the Head Alien… though that doesn’t exclude him having a lab OR murdering people.
I’m around the same age as these guys and… Yeah, no, us kids at that age watched all those shows. There were tons of reruns back then.
I’m not saying the shows didn’t air, just that if Lucy’s 18 than she would be a year old when Avatar the Last Airbender first debuted. Dexter’s Lab ended before she was born. Both Avatar’s are popular enough to remain in cartoon relevancy plus Avatar later had Legend of Korra but knowing about Dexter would mean they had an active interest in old cartoons. It’s close to 30 years old.
But Nono wasn’t even talking about that Dexter and I have no idea what the televised history of fictional cartoon Dexter and Monkey Master is.
The nice thing about it being a fictional series is that it can be tied to the comic timeline. It aired during their childhoods.
Both back in 2010 when the comic started and now.
Someone better turn off Walky’s Demo mode before dejection begins
Lucy’s eyes in the last panel are concerning, I get the feeling Walky’s statement has something to do with it. That, or she is upset that her brother is about steal her boyfriend.
lol it would be a bit more awkward tho if more guys were openly bi , i can imagine there would be siblings stealing each others partners but i imagine that’s kinda an unspoken rule/awkward tho i have heard of ppl marrying their sibling’s ex or so
but idk if it’d be worth the drama considering you have to live with your sibling if it’s during your high school years lol other than enjoying being petty
Quite possibly. However, I think she might just be pissed he went right back to needling Walky after she asked him to behave.
Entirely possible, and I don’t blame her. His behavior is getting old real fast, and it wasn’t all that funny to start with. Sorry, but I’m just not on the Lyle train.
Only child, or did you and your siblings have bigger threats to put that energy to use than teasing each other?
Or younger child who got teased.
Here’s my position: Yes, Lyle seems incredibly annoying. However, he is incredibly annoying in pretty much exactly the same way Walky is, and he’s aiming this at Walky. And much as I like Walky, it’s kind of fun to see him on the receiving end of this stuff.
Walky might end up being friends with him because of it. It will annoy him sometimes, embarrass him sometimes, but it will free him. I think Walky thinks (consciously or subconsciously) there has to be someone in everyone’s orbit that’s “the funny one”. Lyle in Walky’s orbit could relieve that pressure.
if lyle stealing his sisters man is what it would take to get bi walky confirmed well i’ll take it, sorry lucy
i’ll sign that petition
He’s totally nailing this whole ‘normal’ thing
being normal is easy, you just say out loud whatever is going through your brain, right? …right???
Eh, you humans and your shockingly unstable concept of “””normal”””. When will you learn?
wait, you think it’s a problem that the concept of “normal” is unstable? i think that’s its saving grace.
*plays Luke Ski’s “Snoopy The Dogg” on the hacked Muzak*
I can see them becoming friends, and Walky being significantly less of a goofball around him.
Is this a reference to Leah and Rachel?
So we’re going to learn a lot more about Lyle this time around, I take it.
IIRC he appeared twice in Shortpacked!, so he’s already tied himself.
Poor Lucy but I am *living* for her expressions
Is that what they call “brotherly love”?
I don’t like this family
Why, cuz the sister-in-law openly wants to fuck the new brother-in-law? That’s just called being Americans.
Is that what being American is all about? I always wondered.
And if you remove the “in-law” parts, that’s just Folger’s!
Or, like, Alabama.
Eastern Kentucky, too.
Oh now we’re talking.
Lucy status: DEAD FOREVER
Lyle, your sister, who sent you no less than 40 pictures of her boyfriend, including at least one of the back of his head, has requested that you be normal about her relationship
Is Lyle gay? It is not actually relevant to him making the joke, but there’s nothing to contradict it as far as I’m aware so I choose to assume until demonstrated otherwise and I’m on board.
I can imagine him being bi or comfortable, usually straight guys don’t always flirt without going ‘no homo’ after but might be diff these dadays
This is the fourth strip he’s been in so far, in all of the Willis multiverse.
If he is, we’ll find out eventually.
In my first or second year at college, I would have fallen prey to Lyle’s wiles so completely.
i love third panel lucy. this is a college freshman who is about to get indicted for fraticide.
not convicted though.
Better to watch cartoons alone than to not watch cartoons at all. If you’re into cartoons, that is.
Walky as the straight man is not something I was expecting, but I can get behind.
I was just thinking, the annoying brother gets to learn what it’s like to have the role flipped. If only Sal was here to see it.
Reminds me of the tiktok with the straight guy making the marriage offer to other straight guys on the basis of being able to do w/e the frick they both want.
This man throws Walky so many curveballs they should call him a pitching machine.
I didn’t know pitching machines could do that until I just looked it up. Thanks!
Am I the only one thinking part of Lucy’s expression in the last panel is saying “I ship it”?
Oh yeah, this is going well.
If Walky and Lucy’s relationship can survive this, they may be able to stay together forever.
Funnily, I get the feeling that by the end Lucy will hate this more than Walky could have
Walky: right now, turn to Lucy, take her lightly in your arms, kiss her softly and say, “Lucy Glenn, will you watch cartoons with me?”
It’s honest; it doesn’t commit you to anything permanent; she’ll like it; YOU’ll like it; and it should drive a big bloody spike through Lyle’s joke, so perhaps the three of you can begin a normal conversation.
Lucy got the Joyce’s Panic Eyes.
like this
ROTFLLMAO
This is payback for all the time she compared him to Lyle the Kindly Viking. It’s not his fault he looks like an asparagus!
Has Walky finally met his match!? I’ll take as much of this banter as they want to dish out.
I really like this. It’s a bunch of jokes but it kind of lays things out clearly:
Lyle: So what made you want to date my sister?
Walky: Uh, she was there I guess…
If Walky or Lucy wants to recognize this and reassess it’s the perfect opportunity.
I love Lyle so much right now.
