Considering that Willis doesn’t want to have the characters follow the same arcs, I’m interested in seeing just how far this Billie ends up going down that path.
Hah! I laugh at your university finishing claim. My kids are in university and I still play Pokemon. Also, I am really enjoying this new comic, although I am feeling a strong need to reread the old comics. Just to refresh my memory, of course.
I liked the transition into It’s Walky, but I agree that he shouldn’t pull the same thing twice. And in fact he’s specifically trying to avoid that here.
The only capacity Head Alien will be appearing in is as the star of an Invader Zim style show on Nickelodeon. The characters won’t actually get abducted this time.
I’m in full agreement. I loved Roomies! but wasn’t able to finish the Walky saga; rejoined with Willis with Shortpacked. I’m looking forward to an alien-free college comic.
She’s not really meant to have appeal, she’s a jerkass. She is kind of a woobie in a way I guess, due to her inability to adapt. But mainly she’s a jerk.
well she kind of redeemed herself with the whole thing with danny- so she was kind of a sympathetic character. she was trying to get out of her jerkass ways
I dunno… despite her being a b**** in this so far, I still can’t help but love her character. She reminds me of that one character on every reality show that will always cause drama, no matter what the show is about & no matter what happens. Ed McMahon could show up & give everyone poodle puppies & million dollar checks, yet Billie would still throw a fit because her poodle’s fur isn’t curly enough and/or the handwriting on the check isn’t in perfect calligraphy.
It seems Walky pays some attention to current events, at least enough to be able to turn them into unintentional innuendo. I’m kind of thinking Sal will at least have some of the accent, but she’ll probably sound more similar to Walky than her old accent. She needs to actually show up in person now though.
You know what, seeing all these old characters in new situations is great, but can we get some new characters in here? Seriously, there’s only so much new ground you can tread with an entire cast of previously-existing characters…
That said, if new characters DON’T show up, I’m not going to stop reading it. Damn you Willis =3
Oh, and incidentally, in an on-topic comment, I love how Billie’s smile doesn’t even seem to falter one smidgen as she shifts from “trying to chat up a passing football player” to “praising the merits of fake IDs.”
Loading ...
And we get some Tony! Here’s hoping he goes insane again!
considering he’s seen right through her, Tony is at least a down to Earth (Mars, for OutKast fans) kind of guy, so i somewhat doubt it
billie is an alcoholic and will die alone and unloved.
Haven’t we seen this episode before?
also, if you’re trying to Troll, you’re in the wrong comic
Only after we kill you first :O
The Joyce avatar is destroying any credibility my threats might have had at one point at time…
Which is to say not much…
On the contrary, I think it makes them even more disturbing!
And mine seems to have switched to Sarah, making my comment strangely ironic…
Hey, it’s Tony!
and I’m repeat commenting. Awesome.
Tony! And it’s kind of hard to feel sorry for Billie here, but I know I should.
It’s cool, I don’t feel bad either. Lets see how far the cheerleader delusion will go (along with that fake ID).
…And watch as Tony never appears again!
As well as…that…random brown haired girl in the background!
could be Amber with a pony tail
As of four+ years later, he’s only shown up twice. So congratulations, Jabberwocky! You win a Prophecy Cookie. You’ll know what it’s for.
Curse you Willis, where is the Sal? Do not try to distract us with the Tony.
Yes, don’t distract us with Tony. You might try distracting us with Beef though.
Is… is that a Leslie avatar? Leslie’s in this?
Now that I think about it, what was the ultimate fate of Tony in It’s Walky… no, must remain strong, must not lose sight of The Sal
He died saving Jason. I think.
Damnit, can’t I get a male Gravatar?
You can. If you make your own one.
And so we watch Billie go down the same path as her counterpart, realizing social status means nothing in college.
…noooo, not explaining any jokes. At all. But the setup is obvious, nah?
Considering that Willis doesn’t want to have the characters follow the same arcs, I’m interested in seeing just how far this Billie ends up going down that path.
At least this time, the revelation hasn’t put her in Ruth’s bed. Or Tony’s.
Joe’s? Ron’s? Quite possibly.
Well, there’s now Billy and Ruth porn, so I think that’s negative cookies for you.
…HOOSIERS! GO IU…. >_>;
eagles go lnhs (not in a cheery mood)
What no Sal?! RETRIBUTION! I will now steal your pony, brush it, return it and then poop on your lawn! After of course I get drunk. :O
yea your joyce icon really does make it hard to take you seriously a nice ruth icon would do well here.
Of course, an Amber icon would be more appropriate here…
Tony looks like a football meathead this time around… I never did like him
Whoa I’m not joe anymore
It looks like David added some more gravatars recently, which probably shuffled everyone’s defaults around.
In response to Ambers twitter – I’ve finished university and I still play Pokemon! Also I hope Sal shows up soon…
Hah! I laugh at your university finishing claim. My kids are in university and I still play Pokemon. Also, I am really enjoying this new comic, although I am feeling a strong need to reread the old comics. Just to refresh my memory, of course.
I spent 4 days reading them all. Anyone who follows me on twitter would know lolol. I update and get emotional over them <3 it's Walky
Hoosiers!
I asked if Tony would show up. Very happy to see him.
Zonk.
Okay, Willis. I dropped in to check this out because of the Unshelved crossover. And I have to say I’m really digging it. It goes on my daily list.
But…..the *first* alien that shows up, and I’m gone. I’ve never quite forgiven you for Roomies, so don’t mess this up, okay? *grin*
Keep up the good work!
I liked the transition into It’s Walky, but I agree that he shouldn’t pull the same thing twice. And in fact he’s specifically trying to avoid that here.
I’m sincerely excited! I loved the pre-invasion Roomies! and I’m glad to see he’s not planning to go in that direction again. 🙂
The only capacity Head Alien will be appearing in is as the star of an Invader Zim style show on Nickelodeon. The characters won’t actually get abducted this time.
I’m in full agreement. I loved Roomies! but wasn’t able to finish the Walky saga; rejoined with Willis with Shortpacked. I’m looking forward to an alien-free college comic.
What’s college without aliens?
HEY! Turn me back into Joe!
Just noticed I’m Danny now. Can I be Walky? Since we’re both Davids, it makes sense.
and my name IS Joe, it was perfect
You guys realize you could just set up Gravatars and have whatever you want as an avatar, right?
I’m gonna guess “No”
psh, that would take work, I’d rather just complain about it.
Yay Tony! I’ve always liked him, even though he did some stupid stuff, not to mention the crazies.
Y’know, I think I’d pop Billie’s real estate bubble, if you know what I mean.
It’s already been popped, if you know what I mean
his icon did it while he was typeing that message.
Leslie, it’s not okay to sexually harass your students.
Leslie’s a teacher! OR a TA? I wanna see this!
Leslie, a teacher. Yanno, if Robin is a lesbian in THIS world too…
Don’t stand / Don’t stand so close…
She’s a teacher? SHE’S IN THIS ARC!?
YES!
(Loves Leslie).
Holy hell I also have her as an icon. Sweet!
Just popped in to say that the RSS feed image for this strip is really…uh, weird.
I don’t think I’ll ever understand what (if any) appeal Billie ever had in Roomies, and so far I’m not optimistic about her in DoA, either.
And the glasses do nothing. NOTHING.
She’s not really meant to have appeal, she’s a jerkass. She is kind of a woobie in a way I guess, due to her inability to adapt. But mainly she’s a jerk.
well she kind of redeemed herself with the whole thing with danny- so she was kind of a sympathetic character. she was trying to get out of her jerkass ways

I can’t remember, what ethnicity is Walky meant to be again? Why are him and Sal kinda tan?
They’re 1/4 African American and 3/4 Caucasian.
It seems Walky pays some attention to current events, at least enough to be able to turn them into unintentional innuendo. I’m kind of thinking Sal will at least have some of the accent, but she’ll probably sound more similar to Walky than her old accent. She needs to actually show up in person now though.
Not that Walky talks like a normal person either.
I think Willis is trying to see how long he can avoid bring Sal into the comic before one of us threatens him in person.

Actually, I think Billie’s downfall from Cheerleader to Nobody wasn’t covered enough in Roomies. I’m excited to see how it unfolds.
Oh, score, I’m Sarah! I don’t match everyone else now!
I’m liking this universe’s slightly more savvy Walky.
I may in fact be posting just so I can see what my new icon is.
… better than Ruth.
i think billie has some issues to work out >.>’
See now Billie, if you didn’t want to be seen with Walky, you should have gone to another college. :v
You’re assuming another one would’ve accepted her.
Am I Ruth now because I complained?
hooray, I’m Joe all over now!
joe 😛 who am i today?
So, in this universe, does Sal talk in grunts like Beef did in the Walkyverse? She did have his upbringing, you know.
You’ve now got me thinking of Beef in one of Sal’s school uniforms. O_o;
Or Sal in Beef’s outfit. Admit it, though, that would raise some interesting questions.
…thanks for the mental images. Beef in those uniforms just seems frightening. O_O
needs more BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEF
I’m really looking forward to football season on DoA now.
Hm. Curiosity strikes. Am I still Mike?
Oh, and incidentally, in an on-topic comment, I love how Billie’s smile doesn’t even seem to falter one smidgen as she shifts from “trying to chat up a passing football player” to “praising the merits of fake IDs.”
Woo, out of one sociopath and into another! Let the femur collection begin!
Is it bad that it took me five times of reading this before I realized that that was Tony? I totally just fazed over him as a random jock. XD
Also su-wheet. I’m Joyce. <3
I’m half-expecting this alternate universe to end up tied into the “The Beginnings of the Ends” storyline.
What? Obviously Walky isn’t in SEMMF, it could be done!
She does have assetts but with an attitude like that her assets won’t get her anywhere in life…. expecially in Univeristy.
Sorry, Tony (and all Hoosiers fans) but my Joe Paterno beats your Indiana football.
TONY! Hooray!
And my avatar is Tony. Hooray! 🙂
One advantage if going to college or uni in Australia is that the drinking age is 18, which is the typical age of someone starting college or uni.
To be fair, she has a pair of pretty impressive assets.
Man, she is just going to keep blowing that “cheerleader” horn, ain’t she?
