Pure, molten tsun. Comic ends with Billie murdering Walky, followed by increasingly desperate attempts to frame someone else, and a violent rampage that results in multiple casualties and Billie in an institution for the criminally insane.
Yes, she’s jealous of Walky liking Dorothy. So jealous, in fact, that she dragged him out of the lake, where he was hanging out with -her-, and threw him down directly in front of the object of his affection while concocting an excuse for him to be trapped in that exact location.
“The tsuntsun can range from the “silent treatment” to “lovestruck kindergartener who pushes you into the sandbox.”‘
Nope, Billie’s not like that at all
You better run for your life if you can little Walky
Hide your head in the sand little Walky
Catch you with another girl
That’s the end’aa little Walky
‘Cause little Walky,
Walky won’t go home,
But you can’t push Walky ’round,
Walky won’t go!
Try tellin’ everybody but, oh no
Little Walky,
Walky won’t go home!
I think there’s a weird phenomenon in the US, and maybe elsewhere, whereby the bullies are perceived to be the ‘popular’ kids just because no-one dares to tell them otherwise. It runs counter to the definition of the word ‘popular’, but the perceived popularity remains. Of course, then you have people learning a different definition of ‘popular’, so then bullies start to become automatically popular. In Australia, some people have absorbed this principle from, I can only assume, US television, and it causes a sort of divided school culture. Well, in the schools I went to. I haven’t been to every school in Australia.
It’s important for people to speak their minds, but I also want comments to strike a non-creepy tone. We should all be nice and generally not murderous snuff aficionados. These comments should be a pleasant place to say you like and dislike things.
But I think Aizat was talking about the non-creepy thread he participated in, which I got rid of because Tucker fixed his threading mistake, leaving a redundant post. That was just housecleaning.
That’s one I hadn’t heard yet. I’m going to hitting the “play” button over and over again for the next few days… ^_^
BTW, oddly enough, the local classic rock station played “If Today Was Your Last Day” a few couple of months ago. I say “odd,” because this station doesn’t usually play anything more recent than the early 90’s — and recently, they’ve played Nickelback, Pearl Jam, and even Nirvana (yes, I know Nirvana is early 90’s, but they’re Grunge/Alternative, not “Classic Rock”).
Anyway, awesome song, Tucker; thanks for posting the link. Now, back to shipping Danny/Walky/mud.
‘Man it pisses me off to see him mooning stupidly from the beach. She’s right there! Fine then, I’ll be nice and help him out – after I get that newspaper geek helping to bury him, he’ll be so happy he won’t know what to do with himself.’
‘And now he’s snarking at me! While I’m trying to help him! I didn’t have to help him, you know. I could have left him to stand around drooling like an idiot. Fine then, this’ll shut him up, so I can get back to making that geek girl pat him down.”
“Good grief, the crap I put up with. Sal had better appreciate this.”
Yeah, getting hit in the face with sand from the bottom of the lake is not fun. Especially when it is being thrown by your ex and hits you dead in the eye.
So far Billie, has 0 redeeming values. She’s a bongoy drunk who has no problem getting violent for no reason. Why does anyone have anything to do with her? If her roommate can avoid her, wouldn’t everyone? Oh, and she’s the fat cheerleader with glasses, so don’t give me any type of “hot” argument.
She has at least two redeeming values, and don’t even pretend that anyone is supposed to take your “fat cheerleader with glasses” remark seriously. Glasses being hotness incarnate is canon in the Willis works.
Name is clearly unaware of the existence of Walkyverse Billie, who was quite the champ. We all know it’s just a matter of time until her inner BOSS comes out to play.
This is the person I had to delete a bunch of creepy-ass comments from. And he/she posts from name@aol.com, which is real charming. But this one comment was just inoffensive enough to allow entry. “Just enough,” since he/she still thinks being fat and bespectacled is a reason not to like and/or be attracted to somebody.
I just spent a moment realizing how *hard* it would be to “draw wet”. Real people, when wet, exhibit this fact through the following factors:
1) Droopy hair.
2) Droopy/wrinkly clothes (if baggy).
3) Their clothes darken.
4) They develop a slight shininess.
The droopy hair is present but very subtle, and while the clothes issues admittedly could have been done more to Walky’s shorts), the effect of water on skin would be darn near impossible to represent recognizably on a webcomic that uses this model of shading. Willis has my sympathy.
Hmm… I was going to complain about the inconsistency on the grey stripe running through the over-the-shoulder strap of Billie’s bikini top when she’s submerged in the water up to the shoulder straps versus when she isn’t, barring the first such submergence. But then I realised that no-one wants to read about that.
New comment: There is a car hidden behind that speech bubble. Is there someone else at the lake, or is it just scenery?
What happened to the formatting? The comments are all in italics now. Think a tag got zapped somewhere.
Also, I’m not sure whether Billie is jealous, just tired of Walky’s obnoxious lovestruck grade-schooler act, or actually trying to do him a favor by getting him closer to Dorothy. Maybe all three?
Seriously though, for somebody who has written HTML in notepad, I sure am sloppy on the comments. You must admit, though, even for being completely accidental it’s a pretty epic troll XD
I don’t intend to take up such an inordinate amount of David’s time!
To me, it seems like Billie has something else on her mind besides Walky. Maybe she’s fed up with the lack of attention from Sal (hehe), and she’s trying to deflect the attention Walky’s giving her to Dorothy, so that she can a) get Sal to notice her (in part from her moving from the water to the beach, and because Walky’s her brother, so he’s bound to attract her attention at some point), and b) make a point that she’s not after Walky (dumping him on the sand in front of the girl he likes, as if giving him up).
I think, in context of the poster, that actually seems… credible. You know, seeing as she’s acting really pissy right now, but in the poster, the way she’s smiling…
Loading ...
Is she jealous? hmm hmm hmm.
No! Of course not, that would be stupid! Just like Walky is stupid!
That sounded suspiciously like any tsundere would say.
More TSUN, less dere.
At first but then it’s going to be more DERE than tsun.
And beneath that…
Pure, molten tsun. Comic ends with Billie murdering Walky, followed by increasingly desperate attempts to frame someone else, and a violent rampage that results in multiple casualties and Billie in an institution for the criminally insane.
Goodnight.
…In the study – With the lead pipe.
y’know, the updated version hasbro released in 2008 has a baseball bat replace the lead pipe and Observatory replaces the Study…..
…its so sad.
That’s because Hasbro buys and ruins just about everything in the gaming arena… D&D, M:tG, Clue, etc.
That’s Yandere, a completely different stuff…
Nah, Yandere is “If I can’t have you, than I’ll kill everyone after you.”
Does anyone else remember the days when it was possible to discuss characterisation without being fluent in Japanese?
(Kidding. Actually, I do know what tsundere and yandere mean, having spent about 95% of the past year on TVTropes…)
You don’t need to learn Japanese, you just need to speak in Tropes the way nature intended us to. 😛
I was more thinking that sounded suspiciously like something Walky would say.
Oh yes she is.
Yep, she is TSUNdere towards Walky alright.
She is either jealous or she is taking a very aggressive approach to helping him get closer to Dorothy.
So jealous. So so jealous. Admit it, Billie! That’s all it takes.
Yes, she’s jealous of Walky liking Dorothy. So jealous, in fact, that she dragged him out of the lake, where he was hanging out with -her-, and threw him down directly in front of the object of his affection while concocting an excuse for him to be trapped in that exact location.
Next to Dorothy.
She’s flying on his wing, guys.
Wow……I’m not following any of this Sundare thing……
I guess it’s just…
*puts glasses on*
all Greek to me.
“OH, LAAAAAAAME!!!!!!”
I got you a a cookie!
This Link will explain everthing.
I hope you had nothing planned for the next few hours cos you have been TROPED!
>:)
“The tsuntsun can range from the “silent treatment” to “lovestruck kindergartener who pushes you into the sandbox.”‘
Nope, Billie’s not like that at all
TVTropes will ruin your life.
Dammit! It took me an hour to get out of there. . .
No no, you’ve got it backwards —
. . . not sure why the link didn’t get through. Oh well.
Fact is, TV Tropes Will Enhance Your Life.
I remember there being more rocks than sand at Lake Monroe.
And sharp jagged fossils and geods.
Less fun for Walky, more fun for Dina!
Walky is in for it now.
You better run for your life if you can little Walky
Hide your head in the sand little Walky
Catch you with another girl
That’s the end’aa little Walky
‘Cause little Walky,
Walky won’t go home,
But you can’t push Walky ’round,
Walky won’t go!
Try tellin’ everybody but, oh no
Little Walky,
Walky won’t go home!
East side, west side
Little Walky, Walky wears the crown
He’s the king around town…
Dancing, glancing
Walky drives them silly with
His star shoe shimmy shuffle down
Way past one and feelin’ all right
‘Cause with little Walky ’round
They can last all night…
Hey down, stay down, stay down down
‘Cause little Walky,
Walky won’t go home,
But you can’t push Walky ’round,
Walky won’t go!
I’d vote for dumbing of age becoming a musical.
I SECONDED THIS!
Dotty doesn’t seem too concerned by this.
Yet…..
Needs more mud. And then Danny can get inolved and the two of them can wrestle for a little while.
So you’re shipping Danny/Walky now?
Danny/walky shipping isn’t normal. But with unclear pronoun-antecedent agreements, it is.
Vague pronouns. Not even once.
If time establishes greater precedent, David McGuire made Danny/Walky super okay over a decade ago.
First my jaw dropped.
Then I lol’ed.
NOT.
EVEN.
ONCE.
And now any strip where the two appear together is RUINED FOREVER.
Ruined? Nonsense. It’s enhanced. ;3
Woo! Now I know how to post pictures in comments!
Let the
nightmarefun begin!You left a tagopen, let’s see if I can close it.
I know, for some reason it ruined everything! I already tried closing it further down.
At least until it becomes like the Discovery Channel.
She’s probably seen the poster Willis drew earlier of this, and knows that they will give him a straw to breathe through.
If Billie buries Walky, does that mean Dina will get to excavate him?
Only if she remembered to pack her excavation kit in her bag.
“Only if”?
I think it’s a safe bet she has at least one full kit in there.
True that.
She won’t be interested until he’s fossilized.
Knowing Dina, she’ll stand there until the process is complete.
In DOA time that will take until the heat death of the universe…
Poor Walky… getting all that sand in the FAAAAACE
That’s not sand, that’s mud.
Or I think it’s mud.
MUUUUUUUUUUD in the FAAAAAAAACE!
I HOPE it’s mud.
But we’re sure it’s in the FAAAAAAAAAAAACE
I actually think shes intentionally helping him out in her own grumpy way. Dorothy is certainly looking now.
That’s my guess too. That or murder.
I dunno, part of me suspects that she’s trying to gain popularity by bullying an uncool kid.
That’s how you gain popularity? And here I thought the way to gain popularity is to be nice to others.
No, the way to do it is bullying uncool kids. Haven’t you ever been to a public school?
Yes, but I think it’s different here in Malaysia.
How can you get along in public school without bullying the uncool kids? I mean how does anyone become a better person other than through bullying?
I think there’s a weird phenomenon in the US, and maybe elsewhere, whereby the bullies are perceived to be the ‘popular’ kids just because no-one dares to tell them otherwise. It runs counter to the definition of the word ‘popular’, but the perceived popularity remains. Of course, then you have people learning a different definition of ‘popular’, so then bullies start to become automatically popular. In Australia, some people have absorbed this principle from, I can only assume, US television, and it causes a sort of divided school culture. Well, in the schools I went to. I haven’t been to every school in Australia.
Impress who? Sal?
Yeah, but causing her little brother harm? That’s a great way to integrate… Especially when you have to deal with Big Boss – er, Linda, back home.
That’s a one way ticket to Painsville.
Hey, a couple of comments just disappeared.
I’m guessing that has to do with what Mr. Cartoonist has just been tweeting.
I didn’t catch it. Who’s been trolling in the most murderous way?
Tucker, you posted in the wrong thread, and I removed the duplicate that was placed wrong.
Of course, now we have this pointless thread, too. Stupid OCD.
Oh dear. Now I’m really all confused because of your twitter feed XD
We truly are a little OCD.
I dunno, but it must’ve been awful for Willis to delete it.
That’s what I like best about his comics, I think – he lets people speak their minds, even if he doesn’t agree. So this must have been douchetacular.
It’s important for people to speak their minds, but I also want comments to strike a non-creepy tone. We should all be nice and generally not murderous snuff aficionados. These comments should be a pleasant place to say you like and dislike things.
But I think Aizat was talking about the non-creepy thread he participated in, which I got rid of because Tucker fixed his threading mistake, leaving a redundant post. That was just housecleaning.
Yeah, I can’t seem to not fail when commenting on the newest thread. I do this over at Shortpacked! as well. I’ll try to do better in the future! XD
“We should all be nice and generally not murderous snuff aficionados.”
And that’s what the holidays are all about!
The More You Know!—-*
Am I the only one who noticed the bit of white on Dorothy’s swimsuit in panel 5? Is that just a coloring error, or…what?
That’s a bit of the dizzy fuzzies floating around Walky’s head.
I think one of the stars flying around Walky’s head hit her in the belly.
Billie just isn’t gonna give him up, is she?
Thanks a bunch for the Rick Roll.
I think you mean “Thanks a bunch for the roll, Rick.”
Though I could be mistaken…
He’s just spreading the love, like Ninja Rick.
Sarge… Try again in a few weeks =P You don’t want to overdo it. Besides, the internet has moved onto new things.
So I guess that’s a Nick roll?
That’s one I hadn’t heard yet. I’m going to hitting the “play” button over and over again for the next few days… ^_^
BTW, oddly enough, the local classic rock station played “If Today Was Your Last Day” a few couple of months ago. I say “odd,” because this station doesn’t usually play anything more recent than the early 90’s — and recently, they’ve played Nickelback, Pearl Jam, and even Nirvana (yes, I know Nirvana is early 90’s, but they’re Grunge/Alternative, not “Classic Rock”).
Anyway, awesome song, Tucker; thanks for posting the link. Now, back to shipping Danny/Walky/mud.
It’s a Nickroll… It wasn’t posted with the intent of like.
Mudship? You know what that sounds like!
Also, something the Citizens of Tamriel love to talk about.
Not again Sarge. It’s a classic but I think three in a row is overdoing it.
I think one Rick roll is overdoing it. How ’bout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkfVdrtLcRs
Well, she did seem to let him down
-sigh- Here we go okay.
Apropos of Walky:
http://jezebel.com/5869730/please-dont-buy-your-boyfriend-pajama-jeans-for-men-this-christmas
I must possess!
Billie’s gonna bury Walky in her sand. Hurr hurr.
Um… if any part of a woman can be compared to sand, you’re doing it wrong.
Besides, Walky doesn’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like Dorothy.
Bow chicka bow wow.
Brown chicken brown cow…
Hey chicka bum bum.
Blarg chicka blarg honk!
It’s not that we didn’t get the reference to Episode II, it’s just that we chose to retcon it.
It seems to me she put walky in front of Dorothy on purpose. I don’t think it is a jealousy thing myself.
Now make out. Make out NOW.
Has that ever worked?
Nope.
Once, on a TV show.
Once, in space.
I’m Batman.
You can’t fool me…Faz. 😛
…as the most interesting man in the world.
I think it will take a very long time to give up this Gravatar. There was an original image for it.
Stay thirsty, Tucker.
if people keep trying, it must work eventually.
I like your thinking.
Wow, Bille comes off as really mean in this strip. I think I liked her better in the old walky verse.
‘Man it pisses me off to see him mooning stupidly from the beach. She’s right there! Fine then, I’ll be nice and help him out – after I get that newspaper geek helping to bury him, he’ll be so happy he won’t know what to do with himself.’
‘And now he’s snarking at me! While I’m trying to help him! I didn’t have to help him, you know. I could have left him to stand around drooling like an idiot. Fine then, this’ll shut him up, so I can get back to making that geek girl pat him down.”
“Good grief, the crap I put up with. Sal had better appreciate this.”
Is this your translation for her? XD
Yeah, getting hit in the face with sand from the bottom of the lake is not fun. Especially when it is being thrown by your ex and hits you dead in the eye.
Ask me how I know.
You fed gremlins after midnight?
Or tried to divide by zero?
Or flip off Cthulhu?
Your friends didn’t dance, so you left them behind?
Well, they’re no friends of mine.
He’s doing everything wrong.
Are you all posting lyrics from a song I don’t know about??
Well, I pulled out some Safety Dance, but before that it was just normal jokes.
Plasma:
No, we’re the guys on the beach who hate everything, and this is some kind of hip music you don’t understand.
Well Walky you wanted to hang out with Billie…here you go.
(Also Billie is so tsundere it hurts)
So far Billie, has 0 redeeming values. She’s a bongoy drunk who has no problem getting violent for no reason. Why does anyone have anything to do with her? If her roommate can avoid her, wouldn’t everyone? Oh, and she’s the fat cheerleader with glasses, so don’t give me any type of “hot” argument.
She has at least two redeeming values, and don’t even pretend that anyone is supposed to take your “fat cheerleader with glasses” remark seriously. Glasses being hotness incarnate is canon in the Willis works.
She’s not fat. She’s squeezably soft!
Sounds like something a blob would say.
Oh, wow, this popped in just as I posted below. Goodbye, loser.
Agreed. Billie’s got curves in the right places and the glasses don’t hurt.
Name is clearly unaware of the existence of Walkyverse Billie, who was quite the champ. We all know it’s just a matter of time until her inner BOSS comes out to play.
This is the person I had to delete a bunch of creepy-ass comments from. And he/she posts from name@aol.com, which is real charming. But this one comment was just inoffensive enough to allow entry. “Just enough,” since he/she still thinks being fat and bespectacled is a reason not to like and/or be attracted to somebody.
Tread carefully, anonymous person.
Oh my glob! David posted in the same thread as me!
It’s almost like we’re… touching… @.@
I’m glad to know that being fat and wearing glasses makes a person undeserving of attention. >__>;;
There at fairfax beach.
Willis can’t draw wet.
Which is strange as he draws other water effects so well.
I just spent a moment realizing how *hard* it would be to “draw wet”. Real people, when wet, exhibit this fact through the following factors:
1) Droopy hair.
2) Droopy/wrinkly clothes (if baggy).
3) Their clothes darken.
4) They develop a slight shininess.
The droopy hair is present but very subtle, and while the clothes issues admittedly could have been done more to Walky’s shorts), the effect of water on skin would be darn near impossible to represent recognizably on a webcomic that uses this model of shading. Willis has my sympathy.
Their hair ain’t very wet at the moment. It was a while ago, but they haven’t submerged their heads in the water since.
Oh, I thought they all became Ethan for a moment.
Hmm… I was going to complain about the inconsistency on the grey stripe running through the over-the-shoulder strap of Billie’s bikini top when she’s submerged in the water up to the shoulder straps versus when she isn’t, barring the first such submergence. But then I realised that no-one wants to read about that.
New comment: There is a car hidden behind that speech bubble. Is there someone else at the lake, or is it just scenery?
I think that might still be Willis’ old dead truck that made a cameo a while back.
I missed that. Well, I can’t be expected to read all the comments. Except by people who expect me to read all the comments.
What happened to the formatting? The comments are all in italics now. Think a tag got zapped somewhere.
Also, I’m not sure whether Billie is jealous, just tired of Walky’s obnoxious lovestruck grade-schooler act, or actually trying to do him a favor by getting him closer to Dorothy. Maybe all three?
Tucker strikes again! TUCKERRRRR!!
Him again?! He must be history’s greatest monster!
Seriously though, for somebody who has written HTML in notepad, I sure am sloppy on the comments. You must admit, though, even for being completely accidental it’s a pretty epic troll XD
I don’t intend to take up such an inordinate amount of David’s time!
Oh… Only David gets to post pictures directly.
Well, talk about villainy; for both of us now, I suppose.
No my fault. Tucker did it.
It’s always Caboose’s fault, though.
To me, it seems like Billie has something else on her mind besides Walky. Maybe she’s fed up with the lack of attention from Sal (hehe), and she’s trying to deflect the attention Walky’s giving her to Dorothy, so that she can a) get Sal to notice her (in part from her moving from the water to the beach, and because Walky’s her brother, so he’s bound to attract her attention at some point), and b) make a point that she’s not after Walky (dumping him on the sand in front of the girl he likes, as if giving him up).
I think, in context of the poster, that actually seems… credible. You know, seeing as she’s acting really pissy right now, but in the poster, the way she’s smiling…
…All right. I officially ship Billie/Sal now.
Intellectually, I know a Billie/Walky relationship wouldn’t work out in real life, but that’s not why I like it.
I like it because it would be HILARIOUS to watch.
Bille’s doing this too easy.
