It’d be funny if she was still pursuing the story while billie was slowly dying from alcohol poisoning.
“don’t feel so good…seeing a white light…grandma?”
“not now billie, i’m busy. Amazi-girl’s over there, go talk to her…”
*thump*
“…lazy! Now Roz, about your recent political sextivism…”
My money’s on Joyce is about to own a penis monopoly… with her FACE. And she probably won’t even get a nickel for it. My hope is that Willis doesn’t actually go there, and AmaziGirl rescues her… but after Mike punched Amber, nothing will surprise me.
No chance of hanging around for further beer-glasses craziness though. Halloween wars is on, and my husband wants the compy. To the rest of you, happy discussing!
Dorothy and Billie are both missing out on the big story in the next room. I know it’s Billie’s job to cover the Amazi-Girl story, but she’s so blotto Dorothy could easily get the scoop she wanted in the first place.
Billie should apply to to be Amazi-Girl’s sidekick. Amazi-Girl’s bones were rendered “super-dense” by a “lab accident”, and Billie can say her liver was rendered “super-efficient” by a “keg party accident”.
No, actually. Because the alcohol relaxes you, you don’t tense up in anticipation of injury, which means you take blows without taking nearly as much damage as you would sober. That’s why drunk drivers usually walk away from their car wrecks relatively unscathed.
((To be clear, I am NOT advocating drunk driving.)
Speed McGee has a steroid and neural enhancement suit. Its’ listed effects are that it makes him super fast and numbs him to all pain. This allows him to run through brick walls at 700mph and be unscathed by the experience.
Explain that. If pain isn’t the direct cause of harm then how does that work? You telling me a comic book did science wrong?
“Try as she might, Amazi-girl was still but a moment to late as the package went over the railing and into the enormous brewing vat. There were only seconds before it would be dissolved and the chemical inside would turn to a poison gas, killing everyone in the area. That vat had to be drained – and fast! “
Bah, I made a typo and I can’t fix it! That should be “changed,” not “change” Do you all realize how close my brain is to exploding here?! I always fix my typos!
*Double-checks to make sure there isn’t a typo in this post*
Given Dorothy’s reaction to Roz’s comment, I’d say they probably are pajamas, or some part is. Not sure if Roz knew that though, or was just criticizing Dorothy’s outfit.
Props to Roz for being cool about Dorothy not wanting to drink. Gives a real insight into her character that while she pushed Dorothy to visit the party, she’s okay with Dorothy doing nothing ‘bad’.
It shocked me to see Beef! And in this setting! And Roz is introducing Beef. I don’t think Roz ever met Beef in the Walkyverse, in fact that’s most definite!
I’m not sure Roz is wearing a bra. I think that might just be a cami. Which doesn’t really give her room to talk about somebody else wearing a comfy PJ sweater…
It’s amazing how little things like that take one back. Although if I see references to the piggly wiggly, I’m going to wind up with some gawd awful redneck flashbacks… (and yes, before people bongo that it was a joke in a movie, that damn place is real… it’s real I tells you! Sadly, so is a place in alaska called 3 bears.)
Supposedly Piggly Wiggly still has about 600 stores (according to wiki anyway), but you never really see them around anymore. The only places I’ve actually seen one recently are Western Tennessee and North Alabama. Like everything else in the south they’ve been devoured by WalMart and Kudzu.
There are two Piggly Wiggly stores in my town (one of them moved in after the Food World finally died), and the next town over has a Piggly Wiggly and a Winn Dixie. Most people around here buy their meats from Piggly Wiggly even if they do the rest of their grocery shopping elsewhere.
I came across a few when I was roaming from louisiana up through mississippi and arkansas. saw a few in georgia too. Admittedly, it was 15 or so years ago, and I’m betting there weren’t that many teeth in total among either the customers or the employees. It was a nightmarish experience that seemed to feature banjo’s quite often.
Interesting technique used to represent Roz’ glasses from behind. (Notable in that it works until you think about it.) Has that been happening all along?
Just to say that I grew up in Bloomington, IN, now live in Minneapolis, and I always appreciate the references to my hometown. It’s what made me fall in love with this strip. 🙂
Loading ...
Hail to the King baby.
You see that look on his face? That’s him still not noticing the “jammies” as he decides he’d hit it.
Actually, Willis said he’s Arnold. So…
Beef: I’ll be back. To pound your vag.
At last, we finally know where the beef is.
…i’m from the 80’s. Don’t judge me. o_O
No, no. It was Shortpacked that brought back the 80’s. You’re mixing up Willis’ comics!
I’m from the nineties and I got it 😀
That would require Beef to speak in anything other than grunts.
RIGHT?!
I liked Duke Nukem better when he was called Bruce Campbell.
I liked Bruce Campbell better when he was called Ash
BEER GLASSES!
Wow. Billie does not look well.
I’m waiting for her liver to bust out of Billie’s body and hold up a sign that says: “I’m not paid enough for this level of abuse!”
I’m half thinking Willis is about to do a tone switch on us, and suddenly there will be drama and alcohol poisoning. 😛
It’d be funny if she was still pursuing the story while billie was slowly dying from alcohol poisoning.
“don’t feel so good…seeing a white light…grandma?”
“not now billie, i’m busy. Amazi-girl’s over there, go talk to her…”
*thump*
“…lazy! Now Roz, about your recent political sextivism…”
beef. He’s at the party.
And for dinner.
And… Man I’m wondering what’s going on with Joyce right now.
I have a feeling we won’t find out exactly what that Ryan guy is up to until Friday.
I bet Roz already had dinner, but she might be up for desert.
*Cuts to Joyce owning at Monopoly*
My money’s on Joyce is about to own a penis monopoly… with her FACE. And she probably won’t even get a nickel for it. My hope is that Willis doesn’t actually go there, and AmaziGirl rescues her… but after Mike punched Amber, nothing will surprise me.
Mike has never punched Amber.
Can we seriously stop that? it’s already bad enough that the guy turned out to be not so nice.
Whoa, just whoa.
No chance of hanging around for further beer-glasses craziness though. Halloween wars is on, and my husband wants the compy. To the rest of you, happy discussing!

Given that alcohol actually can make you kind of invincible, this is as legit of an origin story as any.
Your body takes damage whether you feel it or not.
No, actually. Because the alcohol relaxes you, you don’t tense up in anticipation of injury, which means you take blows without taking nearly as much damage as you would sober. That’s why drunk drivers usually walk away from their car wrecks relatively unscathed.
((To be clear, I am NOT advocating drunk driving.)
That doesn’t work with everything. You can still get your legs broken in a fight and be unable to stand.
Speed McGee has a steroid and neural enhancement suit. Its’ listed effects are that it makes him super fast and numbs him to all pain. This allows him to run through brick walls at 700mph and be unscathed by the experience.
Explain that. If pain isn’t the direct cause of harm then how does that work? You telling me a comic book did science wrong?
I would read that comic/watch that show religiously.
That actually sounds awesome.
“Try as she might, Amazi-girl was still but a moment to late as the package went over the railing and into the enormous brewing vat.

Look! Up in the sky!
“it’s a lush!”
“with no brain!”
“it’s Kegger-Lass!”
8-F DAT LASS
Good point. Alternatively…
…I wonder if theme music like in the 80’s batman is playing during her@$$-kicking session…
Whoa! They all are wearing glasses! Maybe they are all the same character!
Either that, or Billie is actually by herself and imagining the other two. FYI, “Dorothy” is actually a coat rack.
Does that make Roz a hat-stand?
Is her dildo hat on the stand?
I prefer the term “Condom Cap”.
I vote for this theory becoming canon.
Nice to see Beef has a tag. Will we be seeing more of his silly name?
Those are PJs that Dotty is wearing?
Not, it was just a fashion insult. I’m still making 80s jokes myself.
AH!
At least Dorothy change for the party. Roz is wearing the same thing she wore to class. I guess she’s just always stylin’! 😉
Bah, I made a typo and I can’t fix it! That should be “changed,” not “change” Do you all realize how close my brain is to exploding here?! I always fix my typos!
*Double-checks to make sure there isn’t a typo in this post*
I dunno. Look at Dotty’s face in panel 2. I think she is actually wearing some stylin’ PJs.
Given Dorothy’s reaction to Roz’s comment, I’d say they probably are pajamas, or some part is. Not sure if Roz knew that though, or was just criticizing Dorothy’s outfit.
BEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFF
Bovinae!
It’s what’s for (roz’s) dinner! Wipe the corner of your mouth, Roz. Otherwise, no seconds for you.
And then Beef goes and kills the biology prof.
Win
Pj’s? Wot?
PJs are slang for Pajamas or jammies.
I happen to think that Dorothy’s pajamas are stylish.
Stylishly slutty.
Best kind of stylish!
They’re not slutty, take that back!
Village Pantry?
It’s a convenience store.
I’m actually kind of impressed by that. It took me two years to get banned from any place around my old campus and Billie manages it in a week.
less than a week, even!
That’s actually a remarkably perceptive observation, given Billie’s current state.
It’s an ancient technique passed down from her drunken kung fu master.
She learned the drunken part, not the kung fu.
Quick, Billie, break out into a drunken shanty! It’s the only reasonable thing to do!
Props to Roz for being cool about Dorothy not wanting to drink. Gives a real insight into her character that while she pushed Dorothy to visit the party, she’s okay with Dorothy doing nothing ‘bad’.
Anyone else notice that Beef’s sunglasses aren’t connected?
IT’S LIKE HIS EYES ARE GIANT BLACK PORTALS TO HELL
They are pince-nez.
As there is no bridge to them, that would make them the OPPOSITE of pince-nez actually
Hah, you’d think so, wouldn’t you? They’re not eyes, though.
They’re mouths.
You can see the teeth on the edge.
Oh god he’s the Corinthian.
That’s not Beef. That’s Duke Nukem.
“Nobody messes with my meat but me!”
It’s Beef Nukem! Duke’s illegitimate grandson by paris hilton…or was it brittany… Kim?
GLASSES! All the cool kids wear glasses 😀
It shocked me to see Beef! And in this setting! And Roz is introducing Beef. I don’t think Roz ever met Beef in the Walkyverse, in fact that’s most definite!
Glasses are awesome. Just ask Duke err I mean Beef.
Glasses are for all the cool kids. (please create a meme, please create a meme, please create a meme)
We’re allllllllllllllll using femurs?
We alllllll neeeed thooooose tooooo livvvvve.
Roz knows where the real beef is…
Aaaaallllllllllllll over her faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace.
hey, he paid his nickel.
I read through the comic, and was starting to read the comments when I remembered to go back and look for Amazigirl.
…not today. Almost tempted to head over to Shortpacked to see if Willis put her in with the Robins…..
“We sure are, Billie. We suuuuuuure are.”
“An’ guess whaa? We’ve allll got braaa strapzz showin’!”
They better hope Danny isn’t there.
Nah. He’s eating chicken nuggets with walky and amber.
Meanwhile, amazi-girl is rackin up a 100-hit combo, on her way to save joyce from that OTHER nether defiling little dickmonster.
I’m not sure Roz is wearing a bra. I think that might just be a cami. Which doesn’t really give her room to talk about somebody else wearing a comfy PJ sweater…

You think THAT’S bad? When’s the last time you drove past a Winn Dixie?
There are two Piggly Wiggly stores in my town (one of them moved in after the Food World finally died), and the next town over has a Piggly Wiggly and a Winn Dixie. Most people around here buy their meats from Piggly Wiggly even if they do the rest of their grocery shopping elsewhere.
Really? We got a couple up by me (NE Wisconsin).
I came across a few when I was roaming from louisiana up through mississippi and arkansas. saw a few in georgia too. Admittedly, it was 15 or so years ago, and I’m betting there weren’t that many teeth in total among either the customers or the employees. It was a nightmarish experience that seemed to feature banjo’s quite often.
Great effect on the drunk speech bubble.
Whoa, Beef… and he seems a li’l more expressive in this universe than in the main Walkyverse. I was kinda hoping he’d show up at this shindig.
I have actually heard a drunk person speak like this. He also took my hat. The depth of realism in the absurdity is remarkable.
Yo BEEF, your buddies are getting the shit kicked out of them in the next room. Bros before ho’s, man. 😉
Interesting technique used to represent Roz’ glasses from behind. (Notable in that it works until you think about it.) Has that been happening all along?
First timer reader, really loved it, will be egerally awaiting more!
So Dorothy had absolutely nothing else in her closet besides white button up shirts and jammies?
Nothing that resembles slutty party wear, it seems.
It wouldn’t be “slutty” anyway unles you’re strict about it.
Just to say that I grew up in Bloomington, IN, now live in Minneapolis, and I always appreciate the references to my hometown. It’s what made me fall in love with this strip. 🙂
Yay! Beef! 😀
…Dunno why but I’ve always liked his character.
It’s because his name is “Beef”. That is just intrinsically hilarious and awesome.
When I read today’s strip Billie’s voice was Toot’s voice from Drawn Together. Maybe because of the drunkenness.
Sweet, I was wondering when Beef was going to make his surprise entrance!! 😀
Billie is probably my least favorite character in DoA after Sara
His pupils are HUGE.
I think Beef is batman, why bring him back
Beef?Are all the dead SEMME agents being brought back in this universe? So far there’s Beef, Dina, Big Boss (dean mchenry)
WERE ALLLLL WEARIN” GLASSESSS……….
Beef ;_;
I always felt bad for him
I would have, if he weren’t responsible for the death of almost all of Squadron 48 and Dina
