Childhood.
And this is why Sal grew up hating Walky – because he was always the hero and she was always the villain.
Way to become the role, Sal… n_n;;
Live the gimmick.
I dunno. Sal seems to embrace the ‘bad guy’ role, here – she hardly looks unhappy about it. It’s natural for sibs to compete with each other.
Now, the parents playing favorites? That’s a different story.
You hit the nail on the head. Mix internalized racism in the parents? Not going to be easy to deal with.
They are clearly mixed-race, pre-disposed criminals who are secretly card carrying Cuban Commie Kiddies (ordered from a comic book under the Charles Atlas ad) planning one day to fill a shoebox with Californium to watch it go critical and create the ultimate “Feragamo” suicide bomb, right at the most stress-laden point in the San Andreas Fault! (Billie will be the Fault Princess)
LOOK OUT SAL’S GOT A TRUCK
Please no Radioactive Waste.Please no Radioactive Waste.Please no Radioactive Waste.Please no Radioactive Waste. . .
Daredevil reference?
Or that other thing that parodies certain parts of Daredevil.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
Bingo.
Actually it could be both. Supposedly the initial Turtles comics had them affected by the same stuff that affected Daredevil. (I believe the creators of the Turtles were fans of Daredevil, and decided to do an official crossover.)
That’s true, in the first TMNT comic a canister of waste bounces off a young Matt Murdock before spilling onto the turtles.
I like Daredevil more, so I was being optimistic.
Laughing man knows all…
I guess I shouldn’t have brought it up since Amber isn’t a part of this.
“Sal, stop running over that weird doll with the glasses and overalls and come play with us!”
Too soon
BTW, so cool that Sal’s playing with a dump truck, and not a doll or a ‘girly’ toy.
Dumbing Babies, we make our dreams come true…
Dumbing Babies, we’ll do the same for you…
When your dorm looks kinda weird
‘Cause there’s wieners on your door
Just call upon Amazi-Girl
And she’ll settle the score
Walky: I like McNuggets!
Joyce: I like romance♥
Amber: I’m killing spiders!
Joe: Take off your pants!
Ethan: I’ve got my Transformers
Sarah: I swing bats at jerks
Mike: I do moms for nickels
Dorothy: I need to get to work
Mary: Me, I thump bibles
Amazi-Girl: I’ll make you conFESS
Ruth: Is everything all right in here?
All: Yes, Ruthless!
The DoA comments section can hut down now, ’cause this thread is pretty much perfect. There’s nowhere to go from here but down.
It’s over now. Everything, over. No one can move on, not after… this.
This is flawless. Thank you.
*cut to random Star Wars clip*
okay, NOW it’s done =D
Well, great, now your comment will never get a DVD release.
Actually… now Disney own both Muppets and Star wars under one collective umbrella…
I was about to yell crossover! but then I realized, that’s been done, about thirty-four years ago even.
I read that as the theme song the whole way through, haven’t seen that since I was a kid and out Betamax carked it.
Y’know, when you’ve reached the top, there’s no where to go but down. We have now reached the top…
Yay this song!
When the comic is soul crushingly depressing and you wish that you weren’t there…
Just close your eyes and make believe and you can be anywhere!…
The making of the convenience store bandit.
The beginning of the Path To Darkness.
What so is palpatine just going to show up or something, I assume so on the account of the space station.
Nope but he does later mean an Archbishop Ratzinger…
I think you mean Darth Benedict XVI.
When Walky was a kid, he would still have been only an archbishop.
But already a Sith! It takes YEARS of training to look THAT malevolent.
I will be very sad if this doesn’t transition into churchmice
That is cute
Well done Walky, you set the foundation for Billie becoming a narcissistic douchette and for your sister to rob things. Now it all falls on you to fix both things.
Hey, you don’t know that. Not like Walky became a secret agent.
….in this reality…
Everything is Walky’s fault, dontcha know that by now?
Walky caused the recession!
He took the bailout money!
He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague unto our houses!
Walky caused the hole in the ozone layer!
And cancelled Firefly!
He turned me into a newt! … I got better.
Walky also invented Flappy Bird.
No no, Walky invented the Flappy Bird -clones-.
I thought it was just Fappy Bird
That was Joe.
Also the Dark Souls Prepare to Die edition for steam that is completely unplayable due to microsoft being douches.
“Walkying it up” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Danning it up”.
Walking it up?
Walk it out?
Walk it off.
They do have the same initials though
Ooh, never noticed that! I have now latched onto the theory that they’re actually the same person in disguise. (In any instance where they may or may not have been seen together D.W. anticipated it and arranged for the comic author to stand in as his double.
Well, they are both avatars of the author (at least in origin) and share his initials…
Oh boy, better get ready to break out the “Feels” tissues.
Oh, they’re right here next to me, don’t worry.
It’s okay, this flashback is blue. Beware the shift to red flashbacks though. BEWARE IT!
I hope they have lots of aloe vera or your nose and eyes will be sore.
Yeah, this comic was cute and cheery and yet it still made me sad. just all the DOOM…
(in contrast to Ruth’s scene kissing Billie’s head last week which warmed my heart despite the situation on the whole being pretty terrible)
The nuts don’t fall from the tree.
The nuts don’t hang far from the cock.
Some distance is required however as sperm requires a slightly cooler environment in order to survive.
True enough but too clumsy to use as a proverb.
I’ve seen the Slipshine, and I can confirm this.
I’ve seen pornos and I can also confirm this too.
After several decades, they will.
Constants and Variables.
drat…The nuts don’t fall FAR from the tree.
The religious nuts don’t fall far from grace.
… This is going to hurt.
PARTICULARLY WITH THAT CHAPTER TITLE. DAMN YOU, WILLIS! DAMN YOU, SARAH MCLACHLAN!
They’re building a mystery…
What is the chapter ti- GOT FUCKING DAMNIT this is gonna be a tearjerker.
Of course we also thought the last Chapter would be funny based on the title. Perhaps this one will be funny since we’re expecting depressing material.
Except they are all depressing. There’s no winning.
….So what’s the chapter title?
When Somebody Loved Me
Oh dear god I didn’t even notice I’m gonna die.
“At that moment you know that no one’s thinking ‘Well this is just a cartoon’, ‘this is just a bunch of pencil drawings on paper’ or ‘This is just a bunch of computer data’. No. These characters are alive and they’re real.”
— John Lasseter
Then it is time for Deadpool to show up and blame the writers. DYW!
Nah, Wills has the Comment-eers to do that for him.
I’m already bracing for impact – and hoping things won’t be as bad as the title suggests.
Then Sal kicks walkys ass its no surprise what happens next.
Dumbing Bay-bees they make our dreams come tru
–Augh, I have been ninja’d!
The baby version of shows was one of the things from the 80s I don’t miss.
Yes, but my wife is constantly using one of their stupid jokes, “Fire Photon tomatoes!”
I prefer the Star Wreck version, “Fire Futon Torpedoes”.
While I agree with you, I still laughed when Doc Hammer called Gotham “Batman Babies” during the SDCC Venture Bros. panel.
It’s a lot like Rugrats but with a lot more swearing.
A Dumbing of age version of the Rugrats? I find that concept interesting.
Ok, here we go:
…there, Jen Aside might have done a great Muppet Babies, but tell me that wasn’t a perfect parody of the Rugrats theme.
It wasn’t a perfect parody of the Rugrats theme.
Mostly because I think the lyrics didn’t make it into the post…

A comic about college, everybody.
It’s really weird seeing Walky call Billie “Jennifer”.
I think they didn’t com up with nick names for each till they were 8 maybe ?
I always assumed that the “Billie” and “Walky” nicknames came out of the first time they met. In my life, the only time I ever saw anybody called by a shortened version of their last name was my dad, and that was only because of a humorous spelling issue.
It’s also a bit weird that everybody in their family also uses “Walky” even though they all have the same last name.
So anyway, point is I always assumed that it started as a Billie/Walky thing and everybody else adopted it later.
Sal calls him “bro”, and has commented that it’d be weird for her to call him “Walky”, because that’s her name too. Linda calls him “David”. Alice calls him “Wally”. (Though she calls Billie “Billie”.)
I don’t think the origin of the “Walky”/”Billie” thing has been established in this universe, but I’ve been assuming that it happened pretty much like the Walkyverse, except with less Ruth and alien abductions. (So not much like the Walkyverse, I guess.)
Billie seems to be the only one from before college who actually calls him “Walky”, and everyone else at college seems to have picked it up from her.
I read somewhere that Walky started it by calling her Billie from Billingsworth and she said “well then I’ll call you Walky see how you like it”
I know right. Billie would insist on being called by her full name too, no Jenny or Jen Jen for her.
It’s also weird seeing Billie without glasses.
Billie didn’t need glasses until he started to get repeatedly blind drunk.
So not until she was 12?
Any alcoholic who can drink whole kegs needs to start training that liver from a young age.
Calling it: she went from Jennifer to Billie for Witness Protection.
Nah, she went through all of Roomies! with no glasses, so I’m used to that. People calling her “Jennifer” is just weird, though.
D’oh boy. I can see where this might be going.
Oh, how naive.
Everyone knows that the princess is in league with the bad guy.
Walky ain’t a very good agent.
This flashback is going to end in something that kicks me in the face with sadness; I can see it coming like a truck.
Also, lol @ Walky’s aversion to girly things being at the exact same level from childhood to young adulthood.
Walky got frozen in an airbending bubble for like twelve years while everyone else more or less grew up
ICWutUDidThar – I think it was mostly ice, though – he was in Avatar form when he did it.
I agree, toonie….. I’m dreading just what Willis is going to do to us with regard to the ‘feels’ department in this chapter.
And the one after this.
“I can see it coming like a truck.”
Never has there been a better gravatar/comment match.
Sal owns a secret underwater volcano lab in space that nobody knows about.
Is that the missing chapter of Its Walky ?
FLASHBACK!
Walky and Billie really are going to fall out of their sibling feelings and into love aren’t they?
It’d better not, I like the Ruth/Billie pairing. Besides, two old childhood friends reconnecting in the social upheaval that is college? Much better story in my opinion.
Hey, you got a problem with Bike/Joyce/Dorothy/Walky/Billie/Ruth?
They finally found Danny’s bike! In an orgy!
Disastrous trainwreck love?
Me gusta.
A man after my own heart.
It’s a David Willis story so there’s disastrous trainwreck everythings.
The fact that it’s grumpy cat saying this…I daresay you’ve earned an internet.
Let’s be fair, now.
Sometimes they are plane crashes.
Sometimes it’s other types of crashes
Well, Billie went out of her way to try and make it happen, at first. Then second. Billie is rarely subtle, but Walky is regularly oblivious.
This is so babies.
McIntyre was Sal and Walky’s maiden name.
PM has changed avatars, everybody else change socks
A change is as good as a holiday.
Your internet is on the way!
Sweet! I’ll put it next to the other one I got one time.
I thought is was ‘totally’ babies
Awwwww so adorable!
Precious babies
Aww, cute children in a flashback!
This is only going to end horribly. And I can’t wait.
Greendale Babies will be right back…Forever!

Tomorrow, I am SOOO editing this one.
Sal seems, oddly okay, with being the villain.
“This means I get to punch the good guy, right? EXCELLENT.”
That storyline title worries me.
Somebody’s definitely getting left by the side of the road.
It’s going to turn out that this chapter is about that toy truck.
The feels will be more than we can survive.
The truck is named “Rosebud”.
This is so adorable, I can barely deal.
As a side note, poor danny is at the bottom of the poll xD
I misread your comment as “poor Danny is at the bottom of the pool“.
I’m sure there’s more than one person here that would gladly interpret it that way. Also, how do you do the subtext thingy-majig?
“Ancient Chinese secret!”
Leaves your comments nice and silky smooth eh?
I just wanted to do a Wayne’s World reference. I’d like to keep alive my good memories of Mike Myers in the ’90s, not those awful ones from the following decade (after Shrek, not including it).
Seriously though, use the “abbr title” tags shown underneath the text box. Anything you put in the quotation marks becomes the alt text.

Like this?
Rock on, thanks guys.
The weird thing is Billie has less votes (by 2) than Danny, but it says 3% to Danny’s 2%. MISANDRY!
Even the poll hates Danny. Poor guy can’t catch a break.
Nah, misandry would be against ALL men. It’s misdandry.
Wouldn’t that be prejudice against vampires from the ’80s?
Wow Joyce is kicking the hell out of every other character in that poll
Big surprise!! (::::puts on helmet and knee pads::::)
“Sal, you cant be a princess like Billie, you’re the bad guy”
If this was in the Utena universe, a girl who cannot become a princess will become a witch instead.
HOLY CRAP – SOMEONE ELSE WHO HAS SEEN UTENA!!!!
**massive hugs**
And yes, that is practically my exact same thought.
I have watched the entire Utena anime and movie a few times and even read some of the manga.
plasma i am a giant utena fan, i love u so much for making that reference. **also hugs**
^_^ I for one would love to see an updated Utena anime but with a bigger budget and quality story-telling you expect from the series.
Yay more Utena fans! **hugs takashid too**
I bought the anime and manga as they came out… and then bought the anime again when they released the remastered version (and then sold my old, lower quality ones). It’s my favorite anime/manga ever.
Also, on the bigger budget thing – the movie was kinda that. Although, I will admit, imagining the entire series with art and budget like the movie is just incredible. So much want.
To be fair to Walky, he is asking her to be the bad guy, not ordering her to, and Sal seems down with it. Plus, the playtime story needs conflict of some kind or it’d just be playing house, which Walky’s not so much going for. I don’t think he was trying to be a jerkface or anything.
True, i don’t think Walky intended anything bad. But if you look at this as one of the first moments of Sal being stereotyped as “bad” by her family its a little sad. I can only imagine Sal looked back on stuff like this later when things got bad for her.
>see title of chapter
>one of the saddest damn songs ever wrote
>you just know the tears gon’ flow
>just knowing you’re gonna be sad makes you sad already
>start crying in advance
DAMN YOU WILLIS!
Title of the song was actually “When She Loved Me”.
Other than that, though, you are spot-on.
And then they were abducted by aliens. No, wait, wrong continuity.
Sal, cant be the evil mastermind. She has poor math skills. Unless she fucks some evil genius assistant teacher then she has a shot at not fucking up the gigantic space kajigger while its orbiting around the planet.
That’s why evil mastermind’s always have a bunch of science lackeys; they can’t actually do the math, they just come up with the ideas. (Also, Sal is doing better in class, so it may not be ‘not good at math’ and instead ‘was never taught well’.)
Makes you wonder why the science lackies don’t just bullshit the evil villain somehow, seeing as he’d have no way of telling.
I remember a Transformers fanfic that had the Constructicons hiding their “list of needed supplies” in the “list of parts for the latest ridiculous superweapon.” It neatly explains so much of G1.
That reminds me of an anecdote from WWII about a bunch of Allied POWs who were put to work in Germany working on a highway. The guys in charge had been given plans but didn’t actually know anything about building roads, so the prisoners slanted the corner the wrong way. So instead of the road slanting towards the inside of the curve, it slanted towards the outside of the curve.
They don’t seem to really slant curves all that much here in Canada, which is a shame, because with a well-built slant, you barely need to touch the steering wheel at all for the curve. However, when it’s slanted to the outside of the curve, it throws you straight into the ditch.
Apparently they managed to take out several German staff cars with that little trick. They were pretty pleased with the results.
–And that is precisely why it’s important for the supervisors to understand the math too, lol.
This will be interesting.
Sal is SOOO CUTE!
… too… adorable…. **thump**
Aww, Walky does feel like Billie is another sister.
*reads title of chapter and starts bawling*
AEH!!!!…. why, willis? why?
The second/third/fourth Timeline split! Walky /won’t/ be abducted here! and Sal is there! and Ruth isn’t babysitting!
Pain incoming!
Oh my god these guys are all so cute, you know it’s just going to take a turn for the depressing. But they’re all so adorable aaa
No, it’s not gonna be bad. Anytime you flash back to kids it turns out great. Batman Begins. The Phantom Menace. It.
Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Akira.
Oban Star Racers
Pup Named Scooby Doo
Muppet Babies
Pulp Fiction
Best Scooby Doo.
-knows full well how Willis feels about Mystery Inc.-
My second-best highschool lit teacher was fond of Red Herring.
Also the childhood parts of It were the best part. Movie-wise, anyway.
Is it weird when mystery incorporated came out i really wanted Red Herring to return?
REEEEEEAAAAAAAAAALLLY hope this doesn’t become the next slipshine.
XD OMG THIS COMMENT OMG
Actually, my younger brother one said he heard a kid bragging about how he
Had sex under the playground.
Kid was in fourth grade.
I remember what I thought sex was in Grade 4.
He could have been telling the truth.
I may have bragged about having sex in the fourth grade. >.> I mean I didn’t, but I bragged that I did.
Classmates did the same. Bragged about a threesome, no less. Ghe – interesting I should remember that conversation when I suppressed most of my time with those guys.
XD All of the reactions to this… Guess I was more sheltered back then.
Walky Attempts to Perform a Kiss but Freaks Out Over Cooties.
Why do I get the feeling that this flashback is going to be really, really, really tragically heartwrenching in some way or other?
Sal’s gonna go all Melon Lord on Walky.
It’ll be hilarious, and then it’ll be sad.
Anyone else think Billie looks just a little like Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph in this strip?
As opposed to business as usual in DoA, where everyone just ACTS like a bunch of five-year-olds.
And then she went on to become Sydney Yus oh wait was that was Sal after all
It’s too bad, I would’ve loved Walky have Sydney as a childhood friend he trained to turn to low-paying jobs and supervillainy.
Notice how Li’l Walky and Li’l Sal’s parents have dressed them, like most twins, in look-alike style? I wonder at what point in their lives they were allowed to stop being like two peas in a pod.
it all began early.
Is this where we learn that Billie wants to be kidnapped by Sal?
” Isn’t it funny how it’s always the left , or ‘sinister’ twin, that turns out evil. Uhhh….. ?whoops!”-Dr. Julius Hibbert(the Simpsons)
Man, this strip is just Willis’s tribute to Yale Stewart.
not without any dick pics
Touche.
DoA Babies? I smell a spinoff!
