Haha, looking over at the Shortpacked Twitter box, I see that David has replied to my Power Ranger post mentioning that I’m going to be including him in my Digital and (Megaligo) Dino-Thunder Power Rangers Series.
Yes David, you have broken the Power Rangers fanfic glass ceiling indeed. 🙂
As much as I enjoy jokes about her fate, I don’t know if I want to see her suffer the way she did in her previous series. She didn’t deserve to be just a fill-in. (Then again, neither did Mike.)
Willis, I love your comics and have for years, but I gotta tell you drawing two characters EXACTLY the same, coloring them different, and then saying they’re distinct entities is super lamesauce. What are you, SquareEnix?
I really don’t think Dorothy and Amber look the same at all.
They both have short hair and glasses? So what. Their glasses are different, and so are their hair styles, and they also don’t look the same overall. Woop-tee-doo.
CHALLENGE. If you took two undetailed (like distance shots) of Amber and Dorothy in black and white, are you going to be 100% with identifying who is who?
I’m glad Willis kept his sense of humor though, many a webcomic creator has snapped back with unmitigated rage for less (cough Marry Me cough).
I’m mostly remaining bewildered why nobody notes the visual similarities between Amber and Billie, because there’s way more between them than between Amber and Dorothy.
Amber’s like 30+ pounds heavier and has a rounder head, I just don’t see it. Maybe if they were both bald I would be like “Whoa, that’s uncanny!” but otherwise it’s all Dorothy = Amber from my perspective.
Ok, same token… take two black an white shots of oh… damn near anybody, and try to identify who’s who at a distance. hell, most people aren’t even capable of recognizing one another at distances greater than 300ft. of course, this generation seems to be incapable of recognizing anything off the end of their damn noses unless it twits, flickrs or some other stupid ass bastardized word.
I don’t think Johnny ever actually mastered that aspect of the speed powers, and Zolomon’s powers are time-based, not speed, so he doesn’t get it, anyway.
I think Walky and Dorothy would be a cute couple. Would they stay together forever? No idea, but lots of folks don’t marry the person they dated in college.
The wild Walky has a mating behaviour that is totally unique within the animal kingdom. When a potential mate approaches, he starts to shake at high speeds, until he is reduced to a mere blur. The scientific explanation of this behaviour is something that still baffles scientists to this day.
I was just looking back at a few comics yesterday and I noticed Dorothy hasn’t been around in a long time. Its a shame because she is one of my favorite characters. We demand more Dorothy and Amber. Well at least I do. ^_^
What I wanna know is what did Joyce just see in Panel 4? She looks surprised to me, while looking at the textbook I presume. Or am I just reading things into nothing?
Its the begining of a beautiful friendship filled with blushing and cries of ‘NOT IN THE FACE NOT IN THE FACE!’. How cute!
If I were Joe I’d also be blocking below the belt. For all her sweet Catholic innocence, I could see Joyce taking the low road to inflict pain. I’ve seen it in the past IRL.
I totally agree glasses = sexy on most girls. Bet then again I like tomboys and girls that can bust heads to so I’m not the leading authority on what the “majority” thinks.
But you certainly should be. The second I see a woman in glasses is the second my knees give out. The mere presence of women in glasses does wonderful things

“Hey there, you totally don’t look like you’re having a seizure or anything!”
…
*gigglesnort*
And then he makes some strangled hamster noise in response. xD
Well that’s just about the cutest thing ever.
Agreed.
I could see a whole week of Walky getting nervous around Dorothy and it’d still be funny.
I’m seeing a theme here of Walky being nervous. Hmmm….
Good to see Joyce didn’t follow through with her attack.
Walky is so awkward but lovably so
agreed
agreed
So Joe didn’t get punched? Huh…
Despite their argument, Joyce and Joe are sitting beside each other. Though they seem to be paying each other much attention at the moment.
Its the begining of a beautiful friendship filled with blushing and cries of ‘NOT IN THE FACE NOT IN THE FACE!’. How cute!
You mean, “NOT IN THE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE”?
extremely funny with Joe avatar.
i too ponder willis’ choice to have them sit next to each other.
does anyone else see joyce turning around with a book and hitting joe?
don’t seem*
Haha, looking over at the Shortpacked Twitter box, I see that David has replied to my Power Ranger post mentioning that I’m going to be including him in my Digital and (Megaligo) Dino-Thunder Power Rangers Series.
Yes David, you have broken the Power Rangers fanfic glass ceiling indeed. 🙂
…and yet Joe took a seat next to Joyce… hmmm….
Really hoping now that their date comes up in class discussion.
Joyce sat second, so she’s the one taking a seat next to Joe.
Curiouser and curiouser…
OH WOW, Wow oh wow, now I have the potential series for this running through my head right now! Especially for the class they’re currently in. Thanks.
lol, seizure walky in panel 3,
and is it just me, or does walky look unusually feminine in panel
2?
Well, his eyes DO go wider as if to say “Whoa, wait a sec…”
I think this relationship will have some issues.
With this author? Really?
For some reason the first time I looked at the sound effect, I thought Walky split his pants somehow. This amused me.
Yes…
…somehow…
…
…
…
…with his penis.
Roz avatar for the win!
I like Walky’s big eyes in panel 2. It’s sorta sad that him and Dorothy would be an awful match.
From what we’ve observed of Dorothy, I concur. However, I also find the second Joyce (ha ha, I made a pun) is not the better option, either.
Dare I say… Dina and Walky?
Nah, I don’t think they could ever interest each other 😉
As much as I enjoy jokes about her fate, I don’t know if I want to see her suffer the way she did in her previous series. She didn’t deserve to be just a fill-in. (Then again, neither did Mike.)
Willis, I love your comics and have for years, but I gotta tell you drawing two characters EXACTLY the same, coloring them different, and then saying they’re distinct entities is super lamesauce. What are you, SquareEnix?
If you think Walky and Dorothy look alike, then I dunno what to tell you, sir.
I think he’s referring to the obvious cut and paste job you’re doing with Joe and Amazi-Girl.
Now that you mention it, have we ever seen Joe and Amazi-Girl in the same place at the same time? Hmm…
damn, nearly dropped my laptop when I read that.
the internets, they are yours.
I’m so confused…
damn, now that you’ve said it, i can’t not see it, dorothy and amber are practically twins.
amber has ears, Dorothy does not. How hard is that to differentiate?
er i mant Dorothy has ears, Amber does not. >_>
Lol. Evidently harder than it sounds.
Yeah, you walked into that one.
Also, their bangs are completely different, Amber’s glasses appear to ‘angle’ more, and Dot looks to have a somewhat rounder chin.
Perhaps he was talking about Joyce and Dina?
It’s probably a good thing that Leslie doesn’t collect notes. Walky would be handing in confetti.
(Hmm, comment ended up in odd place.)
Well, if the topic is pointing out issues with the artwork…
SHADOW LIPSTICK!
Amber Prime’s dad messed around. A lot. It’s certainly possible they look similar (not the same, but similar) for a reason.
I really don’t think Dorothy and Amber look the same at all.
They both have short hair and glasses? So what. Their glasses are different, and so are their hair styles, and they also don’t look the same overall. Woop-tee-doo.
CHALLENGE. If you took two undetailed (like distance shots) of Amber and Dorothy in black and white, are you going to be 100% with identifying who is who?

I’m mostly remaining bewildered why nobody notes the visual similarities between Amber and Billie, because there’s way more between them than between Amber and Dorothy.
Because Billie has her hair tied back. That’s enough to make them VASTLY DIFFERENT in comic book land. XD
Billie and Dorothy share the same glasses though. While Amber’s are kinda slanded upwards.
Amber’s like 30+ pounds heavier and has a rounder head, I just don’t see it. Maybe if they were both bald I would be like “Whoa, that’s uncanny!” but otherwise it’s all Dorothy = Amber from my perspective.
I would, as a matter of fact, be able to tell them apart easily. Different hairstyles, different glasses, like I said earlier. That’s enough for me.
Ok, same token… take two black an white shots of oh… damn near anybody, and try to identify who’s who at a distance. hell, most people aren’t even capable of recognizing one another at distances greater than 300ft. of course, this generation seems to be incapable of recognizing anything off the end of their damn noses unless it twits, flickrs or some other stupid ass bastardized word.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
Humans should not vibrate like that.
EVER
But it requires less battery power.
(Should I be ashamed for that?)
Nah. We saw this joke used with Walky and Dina years ago, so it’s fair game now.
Unless they are named Wally West, Barry Allen or Bart Allen. Or Jessie Quick.
No love for Johnny Quick, Jay Garrick, Eobard Thawne, or Zoom II? For shame!
I don’t think Johnny ever actually mastered that aspect of the speed powers, and Zolomon’s powers are time-based, not speed, so he doesn’t get it, anyway.
Jay and Thawne do, though…
Also Jenni Ognats
I miss Jenni. Bart too, come to think of it.
@zuche: Someone’s not reading enough Teen Titans, clearly.
No love for Max Mercury?
-airfox
SRRNK, indeed, Mr. Walkerton.
Is it just me or is Walky like SUPER adorable in panel two? 8D
Oh I wonder what he will throw at Dorothy at the end of TODAY’S class…..
Oh man, this is gonna get good.
Also, I have a feeling that Dorothy knows what she’s getting into, given how he acted before. Would they really be THAT bad?
Also, SRRNK!
I think Walky and Dorothy would be a cute couple. Would they stay together forever? No idea, but lots of folks don’t marry the person they dated in college.
Shhhh! You’ll shatter poor Joyce’s hopes for the future!
Where we’ll be living the rest of our lives.
Eh, she’s learned to adapt before. I’m sure she’ll be able to do it here as well.
And if it involves a breach of professional ethics by this class’ instructor, I doubt I’ll complain.
I live in the past, thank you very much!
Oh Walky, you ladies man you.
OK, I’m scared of Walky’s face in panel 3. He’s some sort of… ALIEN.
I hope I don’t look like Gollum whenever I say hi to a girl.
That would explain my single status, though.
Does Dorothy wield the awesome power of Nachitos to get that kind of reaction from Walky?
Ha. Walky is just like ones of my other friends. She draws porn in class, looks at a classmate, and BAM! ILLEGAL UNDERAGE PORNOGRAPHY!
The wild Walky has a mating behaviour that is totally unique within the animal kingdom. When a potential mate approaches, he starts to shake at high speeds, until he is reduced to a mere blur. The scientific explanation of this behaviour is something that still baffles scientists to this day.
The universe has warped, these desks were all lefty desks not two days ago!
She had him at “Hello”! XD
I’m sorry, I HAD to!
Then I shall have to fine you. Show me the money.
I want the truth!
YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!
D: I’M BROKEDEDEDED!! I HAS NO MONEYS! </3
Could be worse, he could have been on 96+oz of caffeine http://itswalky.com/d/20011103.html
Wow, that looks like it would have been a fun ride.
Jason would disagree.
thumbs up for this couple!
Walky in 3rd panel just looks creepy. Very creepy.
It’s so weird seeing the white’s in Walky’s eyes… It almost doesn’t look like him… (O.O)
How did Joyce sit at her desk from the side with the arm? Is she Shadowcat?
She might’ve walked around it. Things do happen in-between panels, though.
Or she jumped it.
anyone else think that walky’s seizure was accompanied by massive dehydration?
I was just looking back at a few comics yesterday and I noticed Dorothy hasn’t been around in a long time. Its a shame because she is one of my favorite characters. We demand more Dorothy and Amber. Well at least I do. ^_^
Seconded!
Do you mean separately or as a unit?
Separately, they are just normal college students…but when combined they create AMBE-DOROTHY! TOO MUCH FEMALE INTELLIGENCE FOR THE WORLD TO HANDLE!
Amberthy?
I smell slashfic approaching. Quick! Into the bushes!
Also incest perhaps. I wouldn’t be surprised if say Dorothy was her half sister…
“Do you mean separately or as a unit?”
Knowing this crowd? They mean ‘making out’.
Which I’m completely okay with, by the way….
What I wanna know is what did Joyce just see in Panel 4? She looks surprised to me, while looking at the textbook I presume. Or am I just reading things into nothing?
Well….she probably just opened her GENDER STUDIES textbook for the first time. I can’t imagine the horrors to which she will be exposed.
Third panel Walky is trying to eat my soul.
Poor walky… doesn’t dorothy know that she induces panic attacks?
Its the begining of a beautiful friendship filled with blushing and cries of ‘NOT IN THE FACE NOT IN THE FACE!’. How cute!
If I were Joe I’d also be blocking below the belt. For all her sweet Catholic innocence, I could see Joyce taking the low road to inflict pain. I’ve seen it in the past IRL.
In panel 3, Walky’s FAAACE looks a bit like E.T.
Dorothy used LIGHTNING! Walky is SCARRED FOR LIFE!
Why is Dorothy such a cute thing?
It’s the glasses. In a Dave Willis Universe, they automatically grant a woman a +4 modifier to Appeal.
It’s not just the Walkyverse and its spinoffs where girls with glasses are ultimately sexier- its real life too
I suspect it’s relatively consistent throughout the multiverse. There’s eerie power to be found in glasses.
Which doesn’t explain why all the girls with glasses I know want to be rid of them.
Yeah, that’s definitely true in my universe as well.
Having just come back from the optometrist’s, I have to say, women in glasses are hot regardless of the universe. Also, eye dilation still sucks.
Only +4? No, I think it’s closer +10 to Appeal with +75% to “encouraging PSL.”
It’s gotta be a part of it. 🙂
I think I would like Joyce infinitely better if she wore glasses too, not that I think of it… So far, she’s my least favorite among the girls. XD
These two repliers seem quite different from each other.
Ah yes…geeky girls who like nerdy things that will actually talk to him…Walky’s one kryptonite.
Oh dear, I think the walky is broken.
Damn your cute girl powers!
I know how Walky’s feeling all too well.
Walky looks like a nervous chihuahua on the last panels.
Ah! I just figured it out. Smitten Walky looks like one of the Gorillaz.
Third panel walky looks really creepy to me for some reason.
I totally agree glasses = sexy on most girls. Bet then again I like tomboys and girls that can bust heads to so I’m not the leading authority on what the “majority” thinks.
But you certainly should be. The second I see a woman in glasses is the second my knees give out. The mere presence of women in glasses does wonderful things
…with my penis.
Walky looks like the protagonist of Alien Hominid in panel 3.
What was he gonna do, shape shift?
