This is the last strip in the “Uphill from Here” storyline. It was supposed to land on a Friday, but I miscounted strips. Tomorrow begins “Men Are from Beck, Women Are from Clark.”
I don’t see what’s so bad about Dahlia taking a moment out from efforts to stave off top secret international crises from blowing up just to agree with what someone else wrote. The important thing is that Dahlia spared a moment to find someone else’s efforts amusing.
Then again, it’s a little disturbing to say out loud that Dahlia was in agreement with Jen Aside.
He screamed at her and chucked a toy at her head. A toy, which he apparently carries around with him at all times, from a Saturday morning cartoon. He had his feeling revealed and spent the entire class as a red-faced mute because of it.
I think Walky’s immaturity has been pretty well established. If not, he’ll doubtless make a poop joke within 12 seconds of their first date. Either way I don’t think it’ll take Dorothy by surprise.
His immaturity may translate to him trying to force her to consider a more serious relationship, which sounds like that might’ve been part of the issue she had with Danny.
Aahh college, the time in life when you realize that no matter how dorky your interests are, someone on campus is a bigger dork than you, and your dorky interest has its own club.
Good point, no lady can resist a Monkey Master toy. Unfortunately, there are none in existence (that I’m aware of), but I can probably create one with some paint and an Optimus Primal toy. Also, have you considered changing your avatar to the Joker? (If you don’t get the joke, that was the Joker’s true identity in a Batman film, though I can’t remember which one.)
Does this mean at some point in the future Danny will try to beat up Walky for muscling in on “his” gal?
If so, I think Danny will look like a sure winner for the first 75% of the fight, then Walky will do something so out of left field that he gets the upset victory.
Alternately, they start fighting, make fools of themselves, then Dorothy shames them into stopping with withering scorn.
The sad thing about that scenario you brilliantly described is…
I can see this happening…sure, maybe not in the immediate future, but soon enough…which is sad, because he’ll be hypocritical if hes gonna be obsessed with Amazi-girl at that point (though, sadly, this has not been writ in stone, so I can’t say with 100% certainty).
I’m convinced that there is a little gnome inside the avatar generator that applies the proper random avatar to what people say. The avatar I get will prove or disprove my theory.
Wait, everyone just left the classroom and LEFT THE DOORS OPEN? That’s a serious no-no on most campuses, as classrooms often have PCs, DVD players, and $1500 projectors strapped to the ceiling.
I could totally see Dorothy walking in on Leslie cleaning up, finding something academic-related to talk about, then sneak over and grabbing the toy when Leslie left the room.
Yeah, there’s one building where there’s only two or three rooms with projectors or computers at my school. The cleaning staff usually lock up the rooms at the end of the day.
My campus will occasionally leave the doors open to the classrooms when there’s nobody in there even if there is expensive equipment in there. It all depends on who the last person to leave the room was. Many of the teachers will hightail it out of there pretty quickly in order to get to their next class, so if there’s a student left in the room who doesn’t care about closing the door the door stays open. (Of course the newer buildings have doors that automatically swing shut, but the older buildings still have the doors you can leave open.)
Most of the buildings at my college are old. T.T Makes for some really crowded classrooms. (Yet the upper brass at the college get paid huge six figure salaries while the teachers don’t have enough money to do printouts for their classes. Well, we do go there to learn about how the world works, I guess.)
-Meanwhile Danny has multiple pins on a board in order to try and work out who Amazi-girl is. Unfortunatly being new to the area he doesn’t know enough possible suspects-
Wait, if men are from Read wouldn’t women be from Foster? Sluts are from McNut, as I recall, surprising no one. It’s been awhile; I don’t even remember where Clark is, haha.
Everyone keeps saying they can’t get the “I GIVE TO YOU!” out of there head. I don’t see why it’s such a problem, it makes the situation all the much cuter.
Had to take a break from the series so I could distance myself from all the pairings set up in the previous universe. Now if this comic has Dorothy & Walky getting together rather than Walky & Joyce, I won’t get all weird about it.
That said, I kind of like the way the romantic tension is building between Walky & Dorothy.
MONKEY MASTER
Aww, she’s charmed. A little, I guess.
To MS Word, so that I may write naughty fan fiction!
Oh my! The first Walky/Dorothy. I really really hope it’s not Dorothy/MonkeyMaster.
Now I know what I’m working on this week!
You do the Monkey Master one, I’ll do Walky.
Just so we’re all clear…
DAVID HERBERT WILL BE DOING WALKY.
I’ll ship it.
So long as the 40th of these W/D fics isn’t named after the wrong lubricant, everything will be fine.
you had to say it didnt you R?
at least there isn’t a Dorothy/MonkeyMaster/Walky shipper out there*
*cue gasps of shippers with a /really/ bad idea
Annnnd… the ship leaves the dock, with the shippers all aboard.
This would be a lot more heartwarming if I didn’t keep remembering “I GIVE IT TO YOU” and cracking up.
DOROTHEH IS PLEASED BY YOUR OFFERING
XD
This 😀
that is lazy and bad!
D: > what is?!
“this”
Oh, I’m sorry, I just agree’d to what they were saying D:
Joebo wasn’t hugged enough as a child.

^ ^;; I’m…sorry?

Is that better? It’s nice when people acknowledge that what someone said is funny. Otherwise they don’t know!
^^;; thats what I thought as I put that, too! I guess I’ll go for “:D” from now on?
…now I can’t take it seriously either.
Thanks, I guess. :p
Same here. It makes me smile. 🙂
Hey now. Respect the Monkey Master. He can, and will, kill you… or get you monkey-humped to death. One of the two 🙂
As long as there’s no flinging, it’s all good.
Oh, right. Flinging is how this all got started. Oh, well.
Friend Request Accepted!
what makes your comment great was that you got a Dorothy avatar to match the message! nice!
Yeah, the random generator really came through this time.
This good be the start of something good Or start of something bad time will tell
and more monkey master
Anyway of getting a real monkey master toy?
time heals all wounds. also with this much attention Willis may start doing a DOA statue series along with the Shortpacked.
Oh good there is hope. Also for future notice if there is no hope just lie to me
Ah, I see you’ve been watching The Walking Dead on AMC.
No, I haven’t why?
Two points for Leslie, I suppose.
I bet the relationship crash and burns when Dorothy realizes how incredibly immature Walky is.
It’s going to be awesomely hilarious.
He screamed at her and chucked a toy at her head. A toy, which he apparently carries around with him at all times, from a Saturday morning cartoon. He had his feeling revealed and spent the entire class as a red-faced mute because of it.
I think Walky’s immaturity has been pretty well established. If not, he’ll doubtless make a poop joke within 12 seconds of their first date. Either way I don’t think it’ll take Dorothy by surprise.
I thought she already figured it out. It’s not like he was very subtle when he threw the toy at her head.
His immaturity may translate to him trying to force her to consider a more serious relationship, which sounds like that might’ve been part of the issue she had with Danny.
And I quote: “I GIVE IT TO YOU!”
How did either of them forget to pick the toy up after class? That’s MY question. ?_?
Dorothy didn’t forget–she just didn’t want to be seen picking it up…
Dorothy has realized that everything’s better with monkeys!
Your mom was better with monkeys. 😛
I slept with you mom.
Paid her a nickel.
I overpaid.
Aahh college, the time in life when you realize that no matter how dorky your interests are, someone on campus is a bigger dork than you, and your dorky interest has its own club.
OH SNAP!!
wait wait, IS SHE GETTING IT BECAUSE SHES A FAN OF THE SHOW OR IS SHE GETTING IT BECAUSE WALKY GAVE IT TO HER?!?!?!?
I MUST KNNNOOOOWWWW!!! D8
Both.
1) He had her at “I GIVE IT TO YOU!”
2) What lady can’t resist a Monkey Master toy?
OMG THAT’S WHAT I WAS THIIIIIINKIIIIIINNNNGGG!!!!! O:
I know I can’t resist a Monkey Master Toy, that’s for sure D;
Heh… he gave her his monkey to play with.
made all the more awesome by the Roz gravatar
XD implied innuendo is implied? iono.
Good point, no lady can resist a Monkey Master toy. Unfortunately, there are none in existence (that I’m aware of), but I can probably create one with some paint and an Optimus Primal toy. Also, have you considered changing your avatar to the Joker? (If you don’t get the joke, that was the Joker’s true identity in a Batman film, though I can’t remember which one.)
BECAUSE SHE IS A FAN OF THE SHOW. IT IS FREE MERCHANDISING FROM HER FAVORITE SHOW. THAT IS ALL.
Walky/Billie will live on!
aww, you’re so cute when you’re in denial
HAHA! YES!!
o: Walky/Billie?? Thats an interesting pair! (W/e makes her more tolerable ^^;;;)
D’awwww
my thoughts exactly.
Seconded. ^__^
Motion passes. This strip is officially adorable.
That is so adorable.
I actually went “d’awwww” out loud while reading it.
**Cues dramatic music**
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Y73sPHKxw
here’s hoping the link worked…
nope, damn
then again, maybe it did…
The link worked for me.
D’awww
Aww, cute. :’D
I can’t get the “I GIVE IT TO YOU” out of my head though.
So sweet…. and yet… I forsee a major cat fight later.
Between Walky and Danny?
Between Maggie and anyone if there is no Joyce and Walky
Eh, I got better.
Well, that’s good! It probably helped getting it out of the system early.
No, between Billie and Dorothy.
D’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWW
Does this mean at some point in the future Danny will try to beat up Walky for muscling in on “his” gal?
If so, I think Danny will look like a sure winner for the first 75% of the fight, then Walky will do something so out of left field that he gets the upset victory.

Yeah, exactly, I can’t help but see Amazi-Girl getting in the way.
This universe’s Danny seems too much of a wuss to try that. I think he’d start stalking her before he’d threaten people.
True, true…
This is officially part of my RSS feeder. Loving the comic so far!
*inhales* D’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW…… ow my throut
DAAAAAAAAW!
Wait, I changed my mind, it doesn’t look that cute anymore. Especially with the way Dorothy’s eyebrow is raised in that last panel…>_>
DEM! I can’t get that out of my mind now!
Is this classroom also used for the southpaws club or something? No classroom I’ve seen has that many left-handed desks! And I’m left-handed.
This classroom is the reason we can’t find those desks anywhere else.
Indiana university has the weirdest distribution of desks… One of my classes has 10 lefty desks for a 31 person classroom.
Awwwww
I’m convinced that there is a little gnome inside the avatar generator that applies the proper random avatar to what people say. The avatar I get will prove or disprove my theory.
It certainly sounds like the sort of speech a superhero would give. Further testing may be required.
And further testing is something Dorothy would want. Now, let’s see if it get me correctly if I talk about monkeys…
whoa it worked… ummmm NO PREMARITAL HANKYPANKY
darn it 🙁
Well, Leslie came from a religious family, at least in the SP! universe, so it’s a stretch, but it may just work.
PRUVED
Monkey Master Accepted
I don’t know why people are saying “AWWW”. It’s not that she likes Walky, she just likes the action figure.
That would also earn a fair number of adorable points.
It’s the first step. The first step.
Wait, she went back the whole uphill way JUST to get the toy?! Damn, that’s really liking something.
I’m JASON! =D *GLEE*
Don’t get used to it…
Don’t jinx it!
Besides I saved it just in case!
Having been in the building there, it’s possible that she walked around it to avoid everyone and went in through the doors on the other side.
Oh right, I went back and read the comic. I thought she had accompanied Walky and Joyce to the dorms, but clearly I’m seeing things xD
+1 love interest
Wait, everyone just left the classroom and LEFT THE DOORS OPEN? That’s a serious no-no on most campuses, as classrooms often have PCs, DVD players, and $1500 projectors strapped to the ceiling.
I call shenanigans on your timeline, sir.
I could totally see Dorothy walking in on Leslie cleaning up, finding something academic-related to talk about, then sneak over and grabbing the toy when Leslie left the room.
There are still projector-free classrooms out there that remain open. Trust me.
Yeah, there’s one building where there’s only two or three rooms with projectors or computers at my school. The cleaning staff usually lock up the rooms at the end of the day.
My campus will occasionally leave the doors open to the classrooms when there’s nobody in there even if there is expensive equipment in there.

First thing I remembered upon seeing this: “I give it to you! *throw at head*”
D’Awww.
-Meanwhile Danny has multiple pins on a board in order to try and work out who Amazi-girl is. Unfortunatly being new to the area he doesn’t know enough possible suspects-
Wait, if men are from Read wouldn’t women be from Foster? Sluts are from McNut, as I recall, surprising no one. It’s been awhile; I don’t even remember where Clark is, haha.
And then it gets thrown at her head again.
She throws it at her own head, to remind herself of how he makes her feel.
Well, that and it keeps getting thrown at her head on a consistent basis.
D’aww!
Now’s probably the wrong time to wonder if that Monkey Master is fully functional.
Now, witness the power of this FULLY OPERATIONAL Monkey Master!
It are trap?
I’m not sure, but I find the combination of Emperor Palpatine and Leslie Bean strangely appealing.
All it needs is a little reference to how bold Darth DiSanto is.
Everyone keeps saying they can’t get the “I GIVE TO YOU!” out of there head. I don’t see why it’s such a problem, it makes the situation all the much cuter.
And I’m Billie…the comment just doesn’t feel right now.
I TAKE IT FROM YOU
You know, I was hoping I’d get the Dorothy gravatar for that comment. I guess now it should be I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
fuckin d’aww
Had to take a break from the series so I could distance myself from all the pairings set up in the previous universe. Now if this comic has Dorothy & Walky getting together rather than Walky & Joyce, I won’t get all weird about it.
That said, I kind of like the way the romantic tension is building between Walky & Dorothy.
I keep trying to do just that and am failing desperately due to my love of certain characters and couples :/
Offer accepted. Now what?
Do you hear that? That’s the train to Ivy League College being derailed.
And yet… D’AWWWWWW…
I know so many people who would complain about all those left-handed desks. haha
Then again, I am not left-handed, as much as I used to try to be…
This made me squeal from cuteness. I knew she was a closet cartoon watcher!!!
anyone down for a monkey master optimus primal redco contest?
SHE ACCEPTS IT
With this ape I do thee court?
Fukkin golden.
I think they would make the cutest pairing ^_^
(her and the doll that is)
Flawless Victory. Friendship.
That means soemthing!!!!!
Squeeeee
Wait a second, Dorothy’s counselor is Monkey Master?
