**masochistically google image searches the word “cumstain” with safesearch off**
… huh. That was disappointing. Some band with that name and a bunch of people taking selfies of sheets that need washing (or, in one case, a couch). I am disappoint, Google.
So far all I know about this Malaya is she swears like a sailor and plays roller derby. I’m still giving her a chance. Oh and I guess she likes to pick fights she’ll always lose.
I know, she got tons of spunk and no sense of proportions and directions. What’s not to like? plus I kinda like how proud and mighty Sal is not above a pissing contest with a little brat like that ( and is doing a pretty bad job of it). Malaya is the frenimie Sal deserves.
Dina/Becky: Dicky?
Billie/Ruth: Biiru? (it makes sense in Japanese) (though to step outside of standard shipname procedure, I’ve always kinda thought of them as Whiskey Sour)
Joyce/Roz: Rojo (or Red if you like).
It sounds like something you might require a doctor’s visit and a topical cream for. Either that, or like a topical cream you might require a doctor’s visit for… :/
It reminds me of ‘Vecna’, the lich god of secrets in the Greyhawk D&D campaign setting. Becky/Dina is too cute to associate with a rotting abomination.
Sal’s comment in panel 2 actually doesn’t have anything to do with Malaya, but rather with her own personal grooming. That’s why she’s adjusting her gloves.
Yeah, gotta watch those Google results. There’s a blog I follow that reviews animated movies in a snarky manner, and the writer discovered that somehow someone ended up on his site by Googling the term “close up mouth whore fuck”.
So it’s become a running gag that he’ll use it as an expletive now, like “What the close up mouth whore fuck is going on?!”
The old webcomic Mac Hall apparently got a surprising amount of traffic from people searching for digimon porn. (It was a college slice of life comic which did not contain any.)
There was a period of time when Shortpacked! lost a bunch of ad revenue because I was talking about “Dark of the Moon” a bunch and so Google had reclassified the site as astronomy-based instead of pop culture.
Wonder how many sites that were about that movie had the same problem. And how many people looking for lunar facts kept finding themselves on pages about the movie.
While I haven’t had THAT particular problem, my friends and I dislike how search engines “correct” our searches. We’ll type some obscure subject and then Google will insist we really meant “Justin Bieber” or other trending news.
Similarly, I was looking for “vampire cats” (scientific name = carnivora nimravidae, which I could not remember) last weekend. Got all sorts of strange hits, but nothing about extinct megafauna.
Appropriately enough, I ran into this problem just a few days ago. I mentioned a “running gag” in the description of a Flickr photo and started getting all kinds of hits from people searching for pictures of, um, gags.
I quietly changed the description to mention a “running joke” instead.
Oh, and if you want to read him, start from the beginning. He gradually introduced storyline elements and recurring characters into his reviews, Linkara style, and has a lot of running gags, so a recent review might come of as kinda incomprehensible if you don’t get what he’s referencing.
Fair ’nuff but for me they both feel kind of jerkish, at least at times. The thing is that we know, at least to an extent, why Sal is this way but I feel a lot of people don’t like Malaya simply because we don’t have an explanation for her personality. I am trying to assume that there is a reason she acts the way she does and that it is not pure… whatever the hells you want to call it.
Therefor, especially considering Sal’s history, I kind of feel like she is dismissing Malaya on very little information. Then again I’ve been drinking and overly verbose web comic posts are my version of drunk texts so I very well may be stupidly off base.
The police have Mike on speed dial. He’s like Red Herring from A Pup Named Scooby Doo – every time something happens he needs to explain that he didn’t do it.
It’s weird that Fred and his inexplicable fixation on Red Herring is the major thing that stood out about it. Try as I might I can’t remember anything about that version of Daphne.
You know I’m getting a parallel vibe between the Becky-Joyce-Dorothy triangle and the Sal-Marcy-Malaya one. Both involve childhood friends with one friend finding another friend in college that the first friend sees as competition for the friendship. Not an exact parallel (there’s the whole sexuality thing with Becky and joyce that we haven’t seen (so far) with Sal and Marcy), but similar.
Pretty sure David stated Marcie is bisexual (I forget whether it was in a Tumblr post or just in a strip’s alt-text), so there’s a chance that “friendship between childhood friends laced with tension derived from one-way homosexual attraction” is or was an element of the Marcie/Malaya/Sal triangle.
Prediction: At some point, Sal is going to say: “Ah should’a stayed at the party!” Snap cut in the next panel to something weird and/or chaotic happening in Joyce’s room.
“Ya know, Malaya, ah’m glad we worked things out. Ah wasn’t sure ah’d EVER get along with you, but ah guess we jus’ needed to talk things through…”
“And you murdering me.”
“Yep, sure glad we worked things out.”
Loading ...
Sal: “no wait, that IS what I said, even if it kills YOU.”
THIS
Wow, that’s dedication.
(also re: alt text… yes, probably not.)
Sure as hell wouldn’t manage to get to #2 on that Google search, no.

I love when strangers Google things so I won’t have to!
Especially when they have little more to say than I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT
google results are different for everyone … so you might wanna check what they think YOU are looking for 😀
And see if Google is embarrassingly right!

oh well?
The Monica Lewinsky button is kind of cute, though.
I dunno. Some people could take it as a challenge.
Friends with Malaya? No one should be friends with Malaya. She sucks in every universe.
I dunno, I kinda grew to like her, but that might’ve just been the iguana’s work.
The iguana didn’t make me like Carla, so it’s not a catch-all.
Carla’s never had an iguana. Ultra-Car had Malaya’s iguana.
They didn’t change that much between iterations. I didn’t like Ultra-Car much in SP! and I’m not fond of Carla now.
Regardless, will Fuckface ever come back to DoA?
Someone’s asking the real questions
DOA Fuckface will be a Grumpy Cat-like squirrel
she actually seems like a fairly cool person in this universe, to put her abraisiveness aside, as one would for most teens
Unfortunately, after putting her abrasiveness aside, she’s still worse than a cheese grater.
When you put her abrasiveness aside, there’s nothing left.
Backing paper and glue, lots of glue.
So far all I know about this Malaya is she swears like a sailor and plays roller derby. I’m still giving her a chance. Oh and I guess she likes to pick fights she’ll always lose.
Pick fights she’ll lose? Amazi-Girl picked that fight and Amazi-Girl lost that fight.
Actually I was thinking about how she kneed Amazi-Girl then Amazi-Girl threw her across a parking lot. But Amazi-Girl did start that fight.
And that was after getting clotheslined by Amazi-Girl.
Both of which she got right back up from.
yeah, way to no-sell
I know, she got tons of spunk and no sense of proportions and directions. What’s not to like? plus I kinda like how proud and mighty Sal is not above a pissing contest with a little brat like that ( and is doing a pretty bad job of it). Malaya is the frenimie Sal deserves.
She’s also Filipina, and far different from the Fil-Am girls I know.
And she’s been learning sign language, IIRC.
Compilation error: operation ‘friend’ not available for object type ‘Malaya’.
Been wondering, is there a list of generally used ship names for the Walky/Dumbing universe?
Well, Dorothy/Walky is Dorky, I believe we were calling the theoretical Danny/Ethan Secox, Danny/Amber is Danber. Anyone else got any?
Dina/Becky: Dicky?
Billie/Ruth: Biiru? (it makes sense in Japanese) (though to step outside of standard shipname procedure, I’ve always kinda thought of them as Whiskey Sour)
Joyce/Roz: Rojo (or Red if you like).
I hadn’t heard the biiru one before but that’s pretty damn clever.
No Dina/Becky is Dinky. Much more respectful of their sexual orientations and genders. Plus Dina is on the short side.
Dinky is adorable oh no
Bull. Dina/Becky is Gingersaur.
I switch my vote to Dinky, because adorbs.
Why not just go with Rubi instead?
Because I took Japanese for three years specifically to make fun of Billie and Ruth’s alcoholism.
I imagine Danny/Joe would be D’oh!, like how you would pronounce Doe but with emphasis.
Damb and Damber.
… + Ethan = Dambeth
I am voting Danny Girl for Amaza-Girl/Danny
Dorky (Dorothy/Walky) and Worthless (Billie/Ruth) are the only ones I see regularly.
Ooh, I like Worthless for Billie/Ruth. That one works on a lot of levels.
…this is both hilarous and really, really depressing.
Oh and there was Ultra-Carlaya from the Walkyverse.
Well just a couple days ago we saw the launch of the Becna.
I don’t know if we’ve really cemented a name for that one yet but that’s my favourite.
I stand by Dicky.
Except I keep on thinking of a certain disgraced US president.
Dinky, as I posted above it’s more respectful of the shippees.
What’s wrong with Becna? I think it sounds cute…(._.)
It sounds like something you might require a doctor’s visit and a topical cream for. Either that, or like a topical cream you might require a doctor’s visit for… :/
My vote’s for Dinky.
And it would be the cutest doctors visit ever.
Your current gravatar has me hoping that Amber will ship this.
Yeah… I can’t see “Becna” without thinking “bacne.”
It reminds me of ‘Vecna’, the lich god of secrets in the Greyhawk D&D campaign setting. Becky/Dina is too cute to associate with a rotting abomination.
Bigoted against the undead, Deanatay? Dirty rotten Pro-Lifer.
Hey, be respectful to the undead. There are members of the commentariat who are formerly living. OK technically still alive, just “formerly dead”.
I think you mean ‘animate-Americans’. ‘alive’ and ‘dead’ are too polarizing. And ‘undead’ is their word – it’s lifeist if you say it.
Vitally privileged?
Check that lifeboat privilege.
Dinky and the Bane?
Bith
Smush pairing names are evil, and should be avoided at all costs. Except Kigo, that one doesn’t bug me for some reason.
‘The friend of my friend is my… frenemey?’
No, Malaya, she means “Even if I kill you.”
now taking all bets!
Malaya life exspectancy 2.5 hours. 3 if Sal’s generous.
By Malaya’s standards, that means they’re practically besties already.
when i saw title of this strip I was scared it’d be a follow up to joyce’s stained sweater, instead…. crude and rude young folks
“Cumstain”, Sal? You kiss your math tutor with that mouth?
That guy’s way too… wonderbread for her tastes.
Whitebread isn’t a thing anymore?
Hehe… cumstain. ^^
Yes, I’m channeling my inner 12 year old right now.
Oh good, no Jason booty call. Nice to see that definitely ruled out.
Well, we don’t know if she made a stop on the way.
Or if she’ll make a stop on the way back.
Or if that’s where she’s taking Malaya. Maybe it’s Jason’s birthday.
Sal’s comment in panel 2 actually doesn’t have anything to do with Malaya, but rather with her own personal grooming. That’s why she’s adjusting her gloves.
Their hookups seemed to be unplanned and very spur of the moment of passion types. She doesn’t seem to even like him.
Again, I’m fairly sure they didn’t even exchange phone numbers. each meeting ending up with “this is the LAST time we ever do this”
This is gonna be both painful and adorable. Just a guess.
Pandorable?
Sorry, all the shipping is getting to me.
Admirable friending so far there, Sal.
She said they were gonna be friends, not that they’d like each other.
Yeah, gotta watch those Google results. There’s a blog I follow that reviews animated movies in a snarky manner, and the writer discovered that somehow someone ended up on his site by Googling the term “close up mouth whore fuck”.
So it’s become a running gag that he’ll use it as an expletive now, like “What the close up mouth whore fuck is going on?!”
The old webcomic Mac Hall apparently got a surprising amount of traffic from people searching for digimon porn. (It was a college slice of life comic which did not contain any.)
But the one female character couldn’t stop saying “buttsex” during a road trip in one strip! 😀
I really miss Mac Hall… was my favorite webcomic before I found ye olde It’s Walky! and the others
I think is by the same artist (in case you hadn’t heard of it).
Let me try that again: I think Three Panel Soul is by the same artist (in case you hadn’t heard of it).
That is in fact by the same guy(s), Ian mcconville and Matt Boyd
What the hell, lol.
There was a period of time when Shortpacked! lost a bunch of ad revenue because I was talking about “Dark of the Moon” a bunch and so Google had reclassified the site as astronomy-based instead of pop culture.
(so I renamed all the tags to “transformers 4”)
Wonder how many sites that were about that movie had the same problem. And how many people looking for lunar facts kept finding themselves on pages about the movie.
While I haven’t had THAT particular problem, my friends and I dislike how search engines “correct” our searches. We’ll type some obscure subject and then Google will insist we really meant “Justin Bieber” or other trending news.
Similarly, I was looking for “vampire cats” (scientific name = carnivora nimravidae, which I could not remember) last weekend. Got all sorts of strange hits, but nothing about extinct megafauna.
Oh, Nimravidae are cool!
Appropriately enough, I ran into this problem just a few days ago. I mentioned a “running gag” in the description of a Flickr photo and started getting all kinds of hits from people searching for pictures of, um, gags.
I quietly changed the description to mention a “running joke” instead.
That is hilarious. What reviewer is he (I mostly do Channel Awesome and Spoony)?
Unshavedmouse.com. He started out by working his way through the entire Disney Animated Canon, and then branched off into other films as well.
His style is actually very reminiscent of someone from Channel Awesome, and he’s referenced the Nostalgia Critic quite a few times.
Oh, and if you want to read him, start from the beginning. He gradually introduced storyline elements and recurring characters into his reviews, Linkara style, and has a lot of running gags, so a recent review might come of as kinda incomprehensible if you don’t get what he’s referencing.
This will be interesting.
Does this strip make anyone else like Malaya more and Sal less?
Not me.
Eh? This whole Malaya jealousy kind of makes me like Sal more. Although I guess calling her a cumstain unprovoked was pretty mean.
Fair ’nuff but for me they both feel kind of jerkish, at least at times. The thing is that we know, at least to an extent, why Sal is this way but I feel a lot of people don’t like Malaya simply because we don’t have an explanation for her personality. I am trying to assume that there is a reason she acts the way she does and that it is not pure… whatever the hells you want to call it.
Therefor, especially considering Sal’s history, I kind of feel like she is dismissing Malaya on very little information. Then again I’ve been drinking and overly verbose web comic posts are my version of drunk texts so I very well may be stupidly off base.
I already like Malaya plenty. My enjoyment of Sal varies by the strip.
I love Malaya’s character already! Sal I like, but she dips every now and then depending on what she does.

Sal: You could hide the body. NOBODY WOULD FIND HER. OR THEY WOULD BLAME IT ON MIKE.
The police have Mike on speed dial. He’s like Red Herring from A Pup Named Scooby Doo – every time something happens he needs to explain that he didn’t do it.
It’s weird that Fred and his inexplicable fixation on Red Herring is the major thing that stood out about it. Try as I might I can’t remember anything about that version of Daphne.
Stereotypical shallow rich girl, as I recall.
I seem to recall that she could summon her butler, and no matter where they were he’d just suddenly be there to do whatever she asked.
Furthermore, she had a catchphrase. “Oh puh-lease, there’s no such thing as ghosts!”
I mostly remember that because of the episode where her parents appeared, and they said it in perfect sync.
Only to Fred. And there was that one episode where Red actually did do…whatever got done.
Im not sure that Mike would cooperate even to provide himself an alibi
I misread cumstain as Christian.
Well some would never admit to there ever being a Christstain.
Oh, Jesus got Christstains on his clothes all the time – turns out that the Lamb of God sweated buckets.
Jesus is coming.
Bring a towel!
Me too, actually…
…I’m slightly ashamed of how much that made me laugh.
It’s a longshot, but I’ll toss out a guess the next slipshine (well, within the next 3) will be a three way between Sal, Malaya and Marcie.
Won’t happen, but it’s a fun guess.
Ethan, Dan, and Amber for my three-way pic that’ll never happen.
Well, as long as we’re mentioning threesomes that won’t happen I like the idea of Ethan, Danny and Joe. It’d be awkward as hell but also really hot.
No no no… Joe, Mike, and Jacob which obviously would be somehow organized by Mike.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew
Oh, I misread Jacob as Jason, I retract most of my Ew.
Come on, that’s 100% totally NEVER gonna happen.
You know I’m getting a parallel vibe between the Becky-Joyce-Dorothy triangle and the Sal-Marcy-Malaya one. Both involve childhood friends with one friend finding another friend in college that the first friend sees as competition for the friendship.

Sal has given Malaya a choice: she can stop being a cumstain, or she can start being a bloodstain
It will take a lot of effort for Sal to abstain from turning Malaya from a cumstain to a bloodstain
That’s it Sal! You befriend the hell outta that little piece of shit! Tech her who’s the boss!
Just now noticing the narrow miss of Sal and Amber running into each other.
third panel malaya fighting game character select portrait
Oh good, it’s Joey and Janice’s Day of Fun! I mean Sal and Malaya.
Malaya: i’ll kick anyone’s ass. i’ll kick your ass. i’ll kick your dog’s ass. i’ll kick my own ass.
She’s like a chihuahua, barking at everyone.
So, how long until they start beating the crap out of each other ?
*scissoring the crap out of each other
…nooooooope.
Epic lesbian hatefuck?
Mike and Amber might talk a good game, but I think it’s time for Salaya to show them how it’s done.
Off to a great start, I see.
Team Salaya!
I like where this is going.
Dang, she really doesn’t like Malaya. >_>
ya the jacket still looks better on Becky.
I will respectfully disagree
I’ll admit it’s hard to see it on anyone else but Becky now
Y’know, at this rate, Sal is going to lose Marcie and I don’t know if she could survive that heartbreak.
“Lets be frenimies”
“Best of frenimies”
Wow Sal, that’s big of you
Let’s frenimize.
Yep… it is one of those situations where Sal definitely said it right the first time.
I’ve got my popcorn and I’m ready to see where this goes
Prediction: At some point, Sal is going to say: “Ah should’a stayed at the party!” Snap cut in the next panel to something weird and/or chaotic happening in Joyce’s room.
Sal, stop being a jerk to Malaya.
…What did I just type?
“Ya know, Malaya, ah’m glad we worked things out. Ah wasn’t sure ah’d EVER get along with you, but ah guess we jus’ needed to talk things through…”
“And you murdering me.”
“Yep, sure glad we worked things out.”
Carrying bodies on a motorcycle doesn’t look too pratical, tho.
They drag well, though…
Sal is really good at interacting with people who aren’t impressed by her.
Seriously, Sal?
The only comeback to use in this situation is “that’s what I said”. She gave you the perfect straight line and you wasted it.
Ok, this is driving me nuts. I know I’ve seen that building somewhere in Bloomington, but I can’t place it. Any help?
