Plus there’s local drinks. Wisconsin bar tenders have to know that a Old Fashioned is a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet unless specified otherwise. And a Brandy Alexander requires good quality ice cream, not half and half. Seriously, we have a small menu of ice cream based drinks here.
Is that the bartender or DJ (I can’t remember) from that strip or poster of the main cast dancing and your removed three layers and found her there last year, swearing to put her as your newest character in dumbingofage?
Either that or Jason hits it off with Bartender Lady. Walky still gets thrown out but she covers for Jason. A drunken and resentful Walky is left wandering the town.
It probably depends on whether or not Jason has been collecting payment for the drinks and how large the tips have been for him to pass back to the barkeep…
This is unrelated to this particular strip, but the other day I made a post on my tumblr that while I had wanted to make a Gay-Bi-Lesbian/Distinguished-Functional-Disaster meme for Voyager, I quickly realized that it wouldn’t work for that fandom because every single character on that show is a complete disaster, which is, admittedly, part of the appeal for me. I then considered making one for Walkyverse/Dumbiverse, but ran into the exact same problem. Every character in these universes is a walking catastrophe regardless of continuity, and Historical Jesus help me if that’s not part of why I love them all so much. If nothing else, these characters make me feel better about my own disastrous life choices.
Hacks the hacked muzak and plays Mr. Bartender by Sugar Ray….”Mr. Bartender
Mr. DJ
Make me feel good
I got fired today
Don’t wanna be at home alone tonight”
The bartender (like many of the characters in DoA) was originally in It’s Walky!. This character is apparently VERY obscure, having appeared only once, in some promotional poster?
She didn’t even appear in the poster…Willis drew her, then layered on the main characters in a way that blocked her out, then forgot about her until he decided to remove the upper layers while redoing the image for a modern web resolution. (A couple people posted the link above. Since I’m too sleepy to trust my html skills, I’ll let you seek the links yourself.)
Loading ...
Only one way to settle this:
DRINK OFF!!!
*Bartender furiously mixes drinks*
*Jason… drinks the drinks*
…no wait
Balvenie Doublewood in Oloroso sherry butts
It took me almost 24 for this to dawn on me…yet another presentation of Butts Disease.
…. I think that means Jason wins.
FATALITY!
A…longer-haired Ruth? Ruth’s twin?
I swear I’ve seen her, but my brain just keeps returning “Ruth”.
I think she’s the bartender in the back of an old IW! poster?
Other Ruth?
Well, I learned there is a Walkypedia (no seriously), but the only person I can find from the Walkyverse is Penny, but we know it’s not Penny.
My guess for this character: Angie
Bloodrose dyed her hair and finally got a full appearance.
As a serious guess…maybe she’s the bartender or DJ or whatever that he forgotten he’d drawn until he revealed her after removing the layers on a club scene? (I cannot find the post where he was talking about that…but it seems appropriate…)
Willis talks about her here.
There’s my problem…I’d thought he’d posted it on Tumblr and was looking in the wrong place.
Oh wow – they’re up to that arc in the IW repost. I should really go reread that sometime and get caught up on the commentary.
Wow. A character whose only Walkyverse appearance was buried in the bottom layer of a Photoshop file for a poster, where she’d hide forgotten for years until IW! went into retrospective reruns.
The deepest Walkyverse cut, indeed.
My guess for her name: Leia.
She must be a relative of Ruth. Her name must be… Hope “Hopeless” Lessick. Alternatively, Amy “Aimless” Lessick.
Or can anyone else think of a better -less pun?
A-less. (She didn’t do very well in school.)
Bar-less!
She’s a bar-tender bar a bar!
She isn’t even wearing a bowtie
Even though they’re so damn cool.
As cool as a fez tho? And no, I do NOT misspell Faz…
Faz in a fex- coolness squared!
Faz in a fez wearing a bowtie? Coolness we can’t comprehend
“Yes, indeed. And I have this chart to prove why it is so…”
If you’re the real bartender then where’s your bow tie?
What does bartender need with a bow tie?
Bow ties are cool.
Also fezzes.
As opposed to Fazzes. No bartender needs a Faz.
But what about Faz wearing a fez?
That’s coolness squared. The only thing cooler is Fez in a Faz with a bowtie
A fez is graet.
The same reason God needs a spaceship I guess.
I think you’re supposed to tie it around your bicep?
Well at least this only lasted just long enough to further the chaos.
Hey, Bartender!
One Bourbon, One Scotch, And One Beer.
…Five Cougars thanks…
Not Aussie? Look it up on YouTube. Even Daniel the Human laughs at it…
Found it…
https://youtu.be/AlDXTc8IJ7c
Don’t have my HTML shortcuts on this mobile, so it’s a boring old link today…
And a slice of lemon
Wow. Balvenie Double Wood, my favorite.
Sounds like a golf club.
Kill the usurper.
Well, if you were the bartender you’d be behind the bar. You are not, ergo you are not the bartender.
Redhead goes home to have an existential crisis.
That’s logic.
she’d be TENDING the bar
….. wait, do bartenders get potty breaks?
….
….. MIND BLOWN!
Plus she may have carried an order to a table, to help the wait staff.
Right now I’m Patrick bring home groceries screaming “Who are you people!?” at his house.
Unfortunately, the Disguise bonus conferred by the bowtie is not enough to overcome the Sense Motive bonus of actually being the person impersonated.
Shouldn’t have gone with the Mathematics class. They don’t have Disguise as a class skill.
……
…… well they do, but it’s called isomorphism, and the DM refuses to pronounce that.
As both a math person and DnD player, thanks for that joke.
Is this an all-ginger staff
Ken.
Sayid
Pamela?
Conquest??
Dina helped Becky wait on tables her first day on the job, does she count too???
Lucy works there, too.
Clearly, Ken just dips his hair in ink every morning.
But Akuma clearly has red hair.
But does she have a bowtie? nope
also, still crying from IW! ;-;
There can only be one!
I was trying to think of something clever to comment, then I would look at Jason’s face and start laughing too hard to think.
Aw, but Jason looked so happy in his new job.
Boo Willis for not telling us who the redhead is especially when Googling only gives me Penny as an answer (which is definitely not correct).
I don’t know what you would Google for that. I looked through the characters section on Walkypedia, and my guess is someone named Angie.
I don’t know if she was tagged when these comments were made, but she is now as I read the strip. My best guess is therefore “Barb”…
It’s definitely the unnamed bartender that Eulen linked to.
Link repeated for your convenience.
Hey Jason, what did YOU learn at college?
Red Snapper, Kamikaze, Long Island Iced Tea!
Fuzzy Navel, White Russian, and a Sex on the Beach!
Margarita, Bloody Mary, Sloe Gin Fizz!
And he learned to make ’em all on the rocks, with a twist!
He learned a slippery nipple and a white russian.
A neutron bomb and a manhattan.
A dry martini and a pina colada,
a purple hooter and a bahama mamma.
Other real drinks Jason might be asked to make:
Juicy Lucy
Hail Mary
Joe Collins
Wild Irish Rose
Amber Moon
Brandy Daisy
Sarah Cocktail
Jennifer’s Kiss
Alice in Wonderland
Aunt Agatha
Arnold Palmer
Spencer Cocktail
Grace Cocktail
Mandy Sea
The David
Hanky-Panky
Don’t know how I could have missed these:
Becky with the Good Hair
Copper Penny
Mustang Sally
Malibu Stacy
Poor Richard
what no black friar ? although if you drink those regularly you’ve given up on life ……. .
You may have noticed a theme behind the drinks I listed.
Plus there’s local drinks. Wisconsin bar tenders have to know that a Old Fashioned is a Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet unless specified otherwise. And a Brandy Alexander requires good quality ice cream, not half and half. Seriously, we have a small menu of ice cream based drinks here.
CHEEZ IT, ITS THE BUZZ!
The jig is up!
God, I drunk to swear I’m not Ociffer.
Ociffer is the best though
What seems to be the officer, problem?
Well, Jason gave it his best shot.
(alt)
STOP! YOU VIOLATED THE LAW!
And now I’m expecting everyone wanting to know the names of all these characters.
I could care less.
So you do care
Maybe. Or maybe negative-caring is a thing.
That is the literal meaning. And people never use phrases in a way opposite of their literal meaning.
Yeah, I just love when people do that.
At least a little.
Someone needs to higher (hey hey)
Some cunning linguist
BUSTED!! This is usually the part where sheer gumption gets someone a job!
Jason must show his superiority to Galasso by ruthlessly overthrowing his predecessor to get her job.
Old bartender: “I am quite happy to serve American beer in order to put the customer in their place.”
Jason: “What? WHAT? THAT’S A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY!”
Galasso: “You have too many scruples to work for me. Abscond from my establishment, and take your foolish ethics with you.”
Foolish ethics, as opposed to Galasso ethics.
Oh, Jason and Walky. This is going to be interesting.
Also, for anybody using Microsoft, a new TOS comes into effect today. You should familiarize yourselves with it.
Will it affect Vista users? Because if so, I may need to read up.
I’m not sure. It says its for all services.
Yahoo and Google are also rolling our CYA language, so they can continue to sell your info.
Is that the bartender or DJ (I can’t remember) from that strip or poster of the main cast dancing and your removed three layers and found her there last year, swearing to put her as your newest character in dumbingofage?
If I hadn’t been trying (and failing) to find the post, I’d have beat you to this guess!
Here is the link to the deepest deep cut from the Walkyverse. See the July 8, 2017 strip for more details.
Willis’s commentary on it, for anyone who wants a link.
The deepest cut indeed!
Does the real bartender have a name? I think she needs a name.
Beck G. Rounder.
Margarita Cuervo
Dannan O’Flaherty
Elsie Marley.
Elsie keeps rum, gin, and ale
In her house below the dale,
And every tradesman, up and down
Does call and spend his half-a-crown.
Absolutely nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan, and I unreservedly endorse it.
If recent strips are anything to go by, the first two panels of the next strip are first Jason, then Walky being flung through Galasso’s doorway.
Always do the heaviest work first…
damn, you’re probably right. I was hoping for the galasso-is-impressed ending.
Either that or Jason hits it off with Bartender Lady. Walky still gets thrown out but she covers for Jason. A drunken and resentful Walky is left wandering the town.
It probably depends on whether or not Jason has been collecting payment for the drinks and how large the tips have been for him to pass back to the barkeep…
Everyone Calls Her “Barkeep”.
how good is her cosmo though?
“You can’t be the bartender; you don’t have a bowtie!”
“Actually, someone usually tells me that two or three times a shift.”
She has boobs. This will shut up most of the drunken naysayers.
sadly, I’d expect that to turn it into “you’re too pretty to be a bartender!” instead. :/
I like her already.
I’m gonna sign up for Patreon so I can vote for her in the next Patreon bonus strip.
Walky:….*Gasp* you mean you’re not the bartender !? The bow tie is a lie !
but you don’t have a bowtie !
Darn it, now I need a Balvenie double wood. And it’s only 7:30 in the morning.
NO I’M SPARTACUS
Or to quote Life of Brian “I’m Spartacus and so is my wife!”
THEN WHERE’S YOUR BOWTIE??
In which case, where the hell have you been?!?
This is unrelated to this particular strip, but the other day I made a post on my tumblr that while I had wanted to make a Gay-Bi-Lesbian/Distinguished-Functional-Disaster meme for Voyager, I quickly realized that it wouldn’t work for that fandom because every single character on that show is a complete disaster, which is, admittedly, part of the appeal for me.

If nothing else, these characters make me feel better about my own disastrous life choices.
I can’t find it rn, but Willis actually made a DoA version himself. And yes, all three categories were labelled “disaster”.
She’s not tagged. Does this mean the background will swallow her again and Jason will keep the job?
Hacks the hacked muzak and plays Mr. Bartender by Sugar Ray….”Mr. Bartender
Mr. DJ
Make me feel good
I got fired today
Don’t wanna be at home alone tonight”
*Stands up* No, I’M the bartender!
“I’M the bartender, and so is my wife!”
I’ll do you one better. *Why* is the bartender?
But where’s your bow tie?
I must admit I don’t understand the hover text today is about. Maybe it’s because I havn’t read all of It’s Walky? Can somebody explain?
The bartender (like many of the characters in DoA) was originally in It’s Walky!. This character is apparently VERY obscure, having appeared only once, in some promotional poster?
She didn’t even appear in the poster…Willis drew her, then layered on the main characters in a way that blocked her out, then forgot about her until he decided to remove the upper layers while redoing the image for a modern web resolution. (A couple people posted the link above. Since I’m too sleepy to trust my html skills, I’ll let you seek the links yourself.)
Her: “Galasso never told you. I *am* your bartender”
Walky: “No, no, that’s not true”
The bar keep is experienced enough to recognize two drunks goofing around and not being very funny.
BUSTED!
No one does a smarmy “please slap me” expression quite like Walky
