Okay, cool. People in these comments (and in other places) have used “I want x character(s) to go on a road trip” to mean, “Fuck this character, get rid of them,” so I wasn’t sure.
I’m sure she still calls Jacob “Jakes,” Billie “B-Dubs,” and Amber “Ambster the Hamster.” I’m honestly surprised she doesn’t call Dorothy “Dots” or something even more cutesy.
From having been given an unwelcome (and very much unappreciated) nickname one of the things that really bugs me about Becky is her giving people nicknames
“Not being fond of” is a far cry from “actively disliking” her. She was perfectly willing to help Dorothy when she came to her for advice about talking to Joyce. I doubt she’d be unwilling to stop calling her Dotty if she asked. Even if it wasn’t nicely.
I’m trying to work out if Walky has worked out WHO Jason banged. Will he realize it was his twin sister? Is he drunk enough to put on a black wig to “testify” it wasn’t him that Jason banged…?
It appears that they are noticably different, looking at all the “copy-paste-post” …erm, posts that people are “wrong comic”ing over. Perhaps our host set up a gag to get “copy-paste-post”ers? Aimed for April Fools, but stuffed up? Comic edited, but missed a copy of the old? Just another way to mess with our minds?
Stay tuned tomorrow to find out! Same Dumbing time! Same Dumbing channel….
I am pretty sure that BBCC’s comments were posted when Becky’s last line was about wanting the convo to be gay. For 30 minutes, that was the one that was showing, and now there’s a different one, probably the one that was on Patreon?
Wait what? I missed that, apparently. The pussycats?
Also I just started watching Magical Girl Ore. Not sure whether that’s going to turn out good or bad, but at least it seems to have a chance
And I … Thought I saw some gay pairings in the latest Franxx, but maybe it was my imagination? That one seemed to be doing the usual gender BS earlier.
Trans? You’re sure. I wasn’t paying attention to the pronouns, and I have no idea if anything official has come out stating one way or the other, but I assumed he was a guy who just like to dress that way vs being trans.
Of course, that’s on me for assuming one way or the other, but the humor aspect of that person to me seems to come from their very aggressive and powerful demeanor paired up with a magical cat girl outfit. I’m a big tough guy who just likes to dress cute is a more acceptable joke than I’m a big tough trans woman.
He’s a trans man. His character page iirc says “Used to be female. Then he took a trip to Thailand.” As a trans man myself I’m pretty thrilled for a canon trans hero (although I have many trans headcanons).
I mean, that’s awesome and all, but idk why you told me that lol. I’ve never even heard of that show before you mentioned it and I had to google it. But hey, I’m pro more trans characters in everything, so it’s completely a good thing!
Oh lol. That makes total sense, the comment just came out of nowhere seemingly lol. Anyway, I don’t really do anime. But good to know that that genre is doing good things
Panel 2
Walky: It was a MUTUAL dumping, for we both recognize that I am a goof-ass an’ she is a future President.
Panel 3
Becky: Speaking as a fellow goof-ass, my condolences, dude. ‘Kay, s what’s this other dude’s story?
Panel 4
Walky: Jason’s my math TA. My former math TA.
Panel 5
Jason:I was fired for having relations with one of my students.
Panel 6
Becky: So you’re reboundin’ pretty hard there, huh, Walky?
Jason: NOT WITH HIM YOU KNOB! I WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH ANYTHING LIKE H- okay, maybe a bit like him
Walky: Hey, if this convo ain’t gay soon, I’m gonna stop caring
I’m… not seeing a difference between this and the strip (typo excluded)? Is everyone else seeing something different? Do I have a cached version loaded? Does everyone else have a cached version loaded?
I don’t think I have a cached version, since for a while I was seeing one (the transcripted one), and now I’m seeing another. Seems likely it’s a cached version you’re seeing.
Ha, I was seeing the cached one too. I’m glad I came back to read more comments.
The butler part is funny, but yeah, I liked the old one better.
…
MAKE IT GAYER!!!
Now I’m eeeing the new comic but the alt-text isn’t working on mobile (and yes I know you can click the blank area below the comic, that’s not working). Could someone fill me in on what it is?
Yeah that was it. I was wondering if Jason becoming enraged over the implication that he slept with a black guy was considered too out of character or offensive.
more likely, the new strip gels better with upcoming events. Stuff like Becky disapproving of Dorothy dumping Walky, Jason hinting at Sal but not clearly, and Walky clearly still being in the dumps.
My guess would be it’s more the gag of Becky being obsessed with her own newfound identity was teetering on a brink. After all, race is clearly not an obstacle for Jason, and the phrasing certainly made it sound like it was less even Walky’s gender than his, well, goof-ass-ness. Either that, or it seemed out-of-character for Becky to tolerate a TA having sex with students, or it seemed too likely that Jason’s last line would lead either Becky or Walky to catch on.
I still see the one that BBCC quoted. Reloaded and everything, it’s still Walky rebounding pretty hard with Jason, Becky’s gonna stop caring.
What’s the new one say?
Panel 6
Becky: ‘kay, an’ who’s this?
Wally: my former math ta. I’m gonna hire him to be my butler.
Jason: if you were a girl you’d be very pretty
Walky: he’ll live off-site
ha! thanks to weird caching issues on Windows, I now have one tab stuck on each version of the comic. interestingly, the art itself is different after panel 2. Different facial expressions, and panel 5 had only Jason in the gay version, but both jason and walky in the butler version.
Becky in the last panel looks like Misty from Pokemon out of the corner of my eye. Walky and Jason would be Ash and Brock in this situation of course, even if Jason fits more as that one chef gym leader from Black and White.
Yeah, that’s part of what I liked more about the previous version. Take out the hate and add in some “gimme gay,” and that’s a character I’m on board with.
Of course, it’s good for a character to have flaws. It’s just also annoying at times.
What animosity? She’s doing the Bro thing and saying “X didn’t deserve you” to a friend. Sure, Dorothy is also a friend, but Dorothy isn’t THERE and also isn’t the one who got dumped. You don’t have to hate X to console a drunk, sad, dumped friend by saying X didn’t deserve them.
Yes, but Becky’s never been terribly fond of Dorothy. She likes to assert that she is Joyce’s real best friend and calls her things like ‘bony poindexter’ and a ‘friendstealinghussy’.
Both of those go back to her first couple days. I think she’s mellowed a bit on the rivalry with Dorothy, though it’s still there.
And she does like Walky.
She hasn’t called Dorothy anything even remotely mean since her first week on campus, when she was understandably under a lot of stress.
The fact that she considers herself to be Joyce’s REAL best friend is hardly animosity towards Dorothy. Even as she was saying that she was giving Dorothy helpful advice. There isn’t any actual malice behind it. Just insecurity
And all she’s doing here is siding with Walky, who she knows better and has more in common with. It’d be crappy of her to tell Dorothy that, but it’s a fairly standard thing to say to someone who just got dumped.
Um…I’m pretty sure Jason’s last line is directed at Walky? If you weren’t confused about that, I’m not sure what you mean by your last couple sentences.
I read it that way at first too and just put it down to Jason being drunk, but at a second look it not only makes more sense to be about Walky, but it follows better from the previous panel.
I think it was that the start of the last panel drew my attention to Becky, so it seemed like his attention should follow it, but he’s doing the drunk thing where you ignore the rest of the conversation and just continue on your own tangent.
He probably is, but he’s a different kind of drunk. Sal stumbles around, loses what little mind-mouth filter she had, tries to get in fights, and eventually conks out. Not sure about Walky – he certainly doesn’t seem much different.
In the Walkyverse, Sal fell asleep when she was drunk (oh, I’m sorry, she ‘rested her eyes’) and Walky was a mean drunk.
You know what I wish? I wish that Dorothy could see how she’s managed to convince Walky that he’s worthless.
Meanwhile, I think that Becky would be offended by what Jason said if she had any reason to believe he could even see her properly, let alone actually process what his senses are telling him.
Walky already believed he was worthless long before they broke up. That’s not her fault. She never expected him to be perfect. She was upset when she found out he thought he needed to be:
Dorothy never convinced him that he was worthless for even one millisecond. Walky is the one who decided he must be because he can’t be Dorothy. That isn’t something Dorothy is responsible for – that is an internal issue that Walky himself created by comparing himself to her and also has to resolve, which would be easier with a therapist, but we both know he ain’t going to be going to one of those within the next century of webcomics.
I’m not sure it’s “can’t be Dorothy”.
There are two components – even before he was on his current worthless kick, he thought the world of her and didn’t think he deserved her, but that was more his high opinion of her than being down on himself.
Then the flunking math thing came along and trashed much of what his self-esteem was built around – the effortless smart guy thing.
Dorothy never deliberately convinced him he was worthless. So no, Dorothy’s not responsible for that. But, his feelings of worthlessness wouldn’t be as strong as they are if he wasn’t trying to match up to her. No blame to her, obviously, but he wouldn’t feel it as strongly if he wasn’t involved with her and it’s possible that he thinks that if he’d never met her/fallen for her, he wouldn’t have fallen behind on his work. He’d be completely wrong to blame her, of course, but he may subconsciously think it.
I really want to know what the other version of this strip said that people are mentioning? The version I see right now is the one where Becky says, “Hey, if this convo ain’t gay soon I’m gonna stop caring”
Walky, that is not why you two broke up!
And don’t start looking down on yourself. There’ll be another girl for you. Someday. Somewhere.
Maybe on Garbage Roof? *nudge nudge, wink wink, Bob’s your uncle*
When Dorothy becomes President, Walky will become First Dude.
Historically, the First Spouse has always been responsible for deciding how the White House will be decorated.
The White House under the Keener administration will have a fire pole, bounce house, a whole wing made out of Lego, and a built-in McDonalds. The Lincoln Bedroom will be made into a ball pit.
Listen to the red haired lesbian, Walky. If Dorothy gets rid of you just because of her obsessive compulsive disorder, then she doesn’t deserve you. Also, Jason is close to realizing how Walky and Sal are related. How many more boyfriends is Dotty going to get rid off just because she wants a posuition that has been corrupted by Donald Trump and Andrew Jackson.
Jason already knows they’re related. Sal’s referred to Walky as her brother in his hearing multiple times. Walky doesn’t know they’ve screwed yet though.
1) I have not seen anything in comic to suggest Dorothy has OCD, so it kinda sounds like you are just throwing around a diagnosis in a disrespectful way (lots of people casually describe people or themselves as OCD because I dunno, it is a popular phrase?) Maybe I missed something and she is sometimes head cannoned as having OCD, or maybe you have OCD and head cannon her as OCD because representation is important and people have to take what they can get.
But if yourself don’t have OCD, maybe think twice before just randomly calling a character as having OCD (Note – I am not asking you to defend yourself or out yourself, just asking that if you don’t have OCD to please consider not doing this in the future.
2) Also, while it is absolutely true that Walky’s description of the need for a break up puts Dorothy in a bad light, I am pretty sure that is why he thought a break up was needed (that he wasn’t good enough for her). Was absolutely appropriate for Becky to point out to Walky that he is not inferior for being goofy. However, I don’t believe that is why Dorothy broke up with him – She doesn’t think she is better than him, she just doesn’t think that she has time for the relationship. Like, she might end up in one again quickly (just like she jumped from Danny to Walky quickly) but that doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t believe she should be in a relationship – just means she has a hard time staying out of a relationship when she is crushing on someone.
3) I am in the camp that their relationship was relatively healthy and that they both got good out of being in it. I don’t really think that breaking up with him will solve Dorothy’s problems. But I maintain she simply believes any relationship would be bad, not that she thinks Walky is deficient.
I do have OCD and depression. Also, Dorothy has shown to be obsessed with the tasks she has. She is taking too many courses, doesn’t shower, doesn’t eat healthy food, doesn’t take healthy breaks, andc her goal of being the presidnet of the USA seems to me immutable. She got angry when Danny said “it was a phase”, and she has said that her relationship with Walky was temporal until she went to Yale. Had she considered what Walky really wanted out of the relationship?
To summarize my opinion: Dorothy does have the time and does care, but she obsesses over her goals to the point that she is neglecting everything else. She even took not needed actions for her goals, like when she tried to be RA immediately after Ruth was hospitalized.
Dorothy must be careful if she doesn’t want to become like Roz: an uber liberal with casual flings and no attachments.
I’m just gonna say it – the OBVIOUS solution to Jason’s dilemma is to dress Walky up as his sister and bring him to ‘the tribunal’ to clear his name and assure them that all that happened was perfectly fine and within the bounds of the ethical guide-lines* for TAs.
Well… for a drunk value of “obvious” anyway.
*) “Guidelines for TAs: Don’t do anything that Penny wants to do.”
This is why it’s important to brainstorm all your plans drunk, so you come up with ideas like this.
It’s also why it’s important to review your plans sober the next day, so you don’t actually follow through on them.
TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on SUNSTREAKER is now live! Time to get back to Basics for 2025, with a long-requested episode about the narcissistic Autobot whose G1 toy was the origin point of the entire franchise! Is it any wonder this guy's got an ego?

"Things might be tough but it's great for artists! They'll create more!" You might not believe me but going through a lifetime's worth of stress Every Single Week for years and years- is actually not the optimal set of circumstances that inspires artists to create

These people are broken on every level, including a species one.
Giving a damn about each other is what transformed our prehistoric ancestors from living in herds to living in troops. To be anti-empathy is to be anti-human.
Today in #9ChickweedLane I did not learn whose couch this is because wait in whose house does this strip take place, is Edda coming on to Seth in Seth's house, is Seth yeeting Edda from her own living room, does The Void have a communal living space
“also if you got long hair and a spider tattoo”
Walky’s insisting on the offsite thing b/c he knows better
wait huh that’s the wrong comment, shit
But now it’s the right comment!
Yeah, what the heck is going on? Did Superboy Prime punch reality, or what?
Could be that, or Gallifrey was in a Plural Sector and you recently made a hyperspace jump.
Nice, especially because Douglas Adams was script editor for Doctor Who!
Do mindwipers work on servers?
dang, I kinda like the other one better now
aw, nice, home computer still had the other one in the cache
I’ve saved a copy to my computer, but I don’t have a server to … oh wait that would have copyright issues anyways. hi willis!
A butler who can produce infinite flasks sounds awesome.
and now everyone’s advance comments make no sense
Yeah, I wound up in the wrong universe. What’s that book series with the family of bears called here?
Hairy Potter.
Yogi the Bear? Gummi Bears?
Joyce the Bear?

Bearmageddon? That’s this universe

Almost relevant clip from the Forbidden Planet:

Can Jason throw out wit like Geoffrey when he’s drunk?
So, Alfred Pennyworth?
I would be fine if these 3, Joe and Faz went on a road trip that lasted for the rest of this comic’s existence
Why would you include Faz? That’s like putting an onion in a fruit salad.
You need a wacky trickster figure to liven things up once in a while. Becky’s wacky but she’s no universal trickster.
The bigger problem for me would be the lack of Dina.
Okay, but the comic is going to become one that follows them on that road trip.
That’s exactly what I meant
Okay, cool. People in these comments (and in other places) have used “I want x character(s) to go on a road trip” to mean, “Fuck this character, get rid of them,” so I wasn’t sure.
Roadies! A Webcomic by David M Willis
Sounds like a Walkyverse AU where they follow a band on tour around in a camper van, solving mysteries and making sure the show always starts on time.
Sounds like a cross over with Rock Cocks.
Well, Jason’s blonde, a stickler for being ‘good’ at his duties, deadpan, boned a Walkerton…
Thank you, Becky, for this latest life motto.
Becky speaks truth tonight.
Becky no longer speaks truth.
Yeah, I just realized the strip changed. The hell?
…Now I want a slipshine with Jason and Walky…
It is inevitable.
It is.
I always just assumed they were shacking up back in the original universe, and then just deliberately not discussing it during the day.
Deliberately for what purpose? Afraid Bart would find out about it?
“Hey, if this convo ain’t gay soon I’m gonna stop caring”

I love how she still calls Dorothy Dotty rolf
I’m sure she still calls Jacob “Jakes,” Billie “B-Dubs,” and Amber “Ambster the Hamster.” I’m honestly surprised she doesn’t call Dorothy “Dots” or something even more cutesy.
From having been given an unwelcome (and very much unappreciated) nickname one of the things that really bugs me about Becky is her giving people nicknames
I figure she’s just taking after the “original” tousleheaded, ginger-ish, be-freckled… ‘Tomboy’ (whom some insist *is* gay…
Ladies, Gentlemen and Others…

I give you, Becky MacIntyre… Patricia Reichardt II
I bet she’d stop if somebody asked her nicely not to call them that.
Except if Dorothy asked cause I think Becky still isn’t too fond of her :/
“Not being fond of” is a far cry from “actively disliking” her. She was perfectly willing to help Dorothy when she came to her for advice about talking to Joyce. I doubt she’d be unwilling to stop calling her Dotty if she asked. Even if it wasn’t nicely.
a bit like him, he says. he still doesn’t realize does he
He’s only accused of having relations with a student by penny. There is no proof yet.
But he did have sex with a student, and he’s still pretending to have some semblance of self-respect, so he won’t try to make that case.
Also, he’s yelling about it in a pizza place so, like….gonna be harder to deny it now.
Relax, it’s not like anybody who works at the pizza place attends the university.
*Sayid nervously coughs in the background*
And PFFT, what college students go to PIZZA PLACES.
The only pizza place I go to is the Mosher-Jordan Dining Hall.
Whoo! Sayid cameo!
..wait, it’s over already?
Dammit, Willis.
I’ve lost track — is Jason aware that they’re twins?
He must at least have figured out they’re related, since I would assume he knows both of their last names.
I’m trying to work out if Walky has worked out WHO Jason banged. Will he realize it was his twin sister? Is he drunk enough to put on a black wig to “testify” it wasn’t him that Jason banged…?
I don’t think Jason has given him enough to go on yet. But if he did, he’d probably double down.
How would he work it out?
Yes. Sal’s referred to him as her brother in his hearing, multiple times.
Welp, this ain’t going to help Dorothy with Becky.
Well, this comic is certainly different from Patreon’s. Interesting.
It appears that they are noticably different, looking at all the “copy-paste-post” …erm, posts that people are “wrong comic”ing over. Perhaps our host set up a gag to get “copy-paste-post”ers? Aimed for April Fools, but stuffed up? Comic edited, but missed a copy of the old? Just another way to mess with our minds?
Stay tuned tomorrow to find out! Same Dumbing time! Same Dumbing channel….
The different version was up here for a few minutes too, was the gay joke In poor taste or something? I have a bad radar for these things.
I am pretty sure that BBCC’s comments were posted when Becky’s last line was about wanting the convo to be gay. For 30 minutes, that was the one that was showing, and now there’s a different one, probably the one that was on Patreon?
I’m still seeing the gay convo one.
Okay, question – what’s the last line of dialogue of the strip you’re seeing?
‘He’ll live off-site.’ The dialogue is basically entirely different after ‘she’s a future president’.
Actually, correction, the first part of Becky’s response is the same, too.
Okay, yes, that’s the strip from Patreon.
The other one was probably a cached one that was changed to better set up later stuff.
Anybody save the midnight version?
I transcribed it, a little further down.
Love Becky’s last line .
buncha goof-asses.
a little bit, Jason?
Becky is in top form here.
Becky in the last panel is me with basically every piece of media. If it ain’t queer, I’m outta here.
Well, the male member of the new hero group in My Hero Academia is trans, so there’s that.
Wait what? I missed that, apparently. The pussycats?
Also I just started watching Magical Girl Ore. Not sure whether that’s going to turn out good or bad, but at least it seems to have a chance
And I … Thought I saw some gay pairings in the latest Franxx, but maybe it was my imagination? That one seemed to be doing the usual gender BS earlier.
Trans? You’re sure. I wasn’t paying attention to the pronouns, and I have no idea if anything official has come out stating one way or the other, but I assumed he was a guy who just like to dress that way vs being trans.
Of course, that’s on me for assuming one way or the other, but the humor aspect of that person to me seems to come from their very aggressive and powerful demeanor paired up with a magical cat girl outfit. I’m a big tough guy who just likes to dress cute is a more acceptable joke than I’m a big tough trans woman.
He’s a trans man. His character page iirc says “Used to be female. Then he took a trip to Thailand.” As a trans man myself I’m pretty thrilled for a canon trans hero (although I have many trans headcanons).
Oh. Good to know.
Neat
so not only a canon trans character, but also a canon man in a skirt
take that, gender roles!
I also loved the “swimsuit” episode with the … What were those, wetsuits or something?
I mean, that’s awesome and all, but idk why you told me that lol. I’ve never even heard of that show before you mentioned it and I had to google it. But hey, I’m pro more trans characters in everything, so it’s completely a good thing!
Uh, he told you because now you have heard of that show, so if it sounds interesting you can start watching it
Oh lol. That makes total sense, the comment just came out of nowhere seemingly lol. Anyway, I don’t really do anime. But good to know that that genre is doing good things
Oh Yeah because I can see Jason being worth having an affair with over Dorothy. No really I can see it the Jason x Walky is too strong in any AU.
Hey man, being with Walky means having an endless supply of mcnuggets your way. Pros and cons
So I dunno if this counts as fan art exactly but.. I kinda sorta accidentally drew a Joe look alike into one of my comics
https://imgur.com/wm24Dan
Does Joe have a long lost Catholic twin…from the future?
I like your art
Oh thank you
Is Walky aware that his twin sister is the one Jason’s been getting it off with? I can’t remember.
No, but Jason DOES know he’s her brother.
Becky, as per usual, is life.
I do love Walky’s faith in Dorothy, though, it’s sweet. He might believe in her even harder than Joyce does.
Oh, he’s talking about Sal and we’re not going to get into weird gender discussions with Becky here. Aces.
Thanks Becky, I am glad someone finally said it.
Birds of a feather…
…get drunk at the same birdbath.
This comic is fine, but if it’s the permanent one now, I wish I hadn’t seen the other version, ’cause it was better.
Seconded, on both counts.
You know what they say: ’tis better to have loved and lost, than to never have loved at all.
I mean, I missed the original, so I fall into category two, and it’s a pretty annoying not knowing what I missed out on.
Same.
Panel 1
Becky: Y’got dumped by Dotty?
Panel 2
Walky: It was a MUTUAL dumping, for we both recognize that I am a goof-ass an’ she is a future President.
Panel 3
Becky: Speaking as a fellow goof-ass, my condolences, dude. ‘Kay, s what’s this other dude’s story?
Panel 4
Walky: Jason’s my math TA. My former math TA.
Panel 5
Jason:I was fired for having relations with one of my students.
Panel 6
Becky: So you’re reboundin’ pretty hard there, huh, Walky?
Jason: NOT WITH HIM YOU KNOB! I WOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH ANYTHING LIKE H- okay, maybe a bit like him
Walky: Hey, if this convo ain’t gay soon, I’m gonna stop caring
That last line was actually Becky.
Dammit, yes, it was. Typo.
I’m… not seeing a difference between this and the strip (typo excluded)? Is everyone else seeing something different? Do I have a cached version loaded? Does everyone else have a cached version loaded?
I don’t think I have a cached version, since for a while I was seeing one (the transcripted one), and now I’m seeing another. Seems likely it’s a cached version you’re seeing.
Ha, I was seeing the cached one too. I’m glad I came back to read more comments.
The butler part is funny, but yeah, I liked the old one better.
…
MAKE IT GAYER!!!
I see no mention of a butler. Did it swap again?
“I’m gonna hire him to be my butler”
Now I’m eeeing the new comic but the alt-text isn’t working on mobile (and yes I know you can click the blank area below the comic, that’s not working). Could someone fill me in on what it is?
the alt-text reads: Welcome to Goof-Asses Anonymous
Ah, so that didn’t change. Gotcha. Thanks.
Yeah that was it. I was wondering if Jason becoming enraged over the implication that he slept with a black guy was considered too out of character or offensive.
more likely, the new strip gels better with upcoming events. Stuff like Becky disapproving of Dorothy dumping Walky, Jason hinting at Sal but not clearly, and Walky clearly still being in the dumps.
This. The first strip had more oomph as a standalone, but the final version has more places to go, storyline-wise.
My guess would be it’s more the gag of Becky being obsessed with her own newfound identity was teetering on a brink. After all, race is clearly not an obstacle for Jason, and the phrasing certainly made it sound like it was less even Walky’s gender than his, well, goof-ass-ness. Either that, or it seemed out-of-character for Becky to tolerate a TA having sex with students, or it seemed too likely that Jason’s last line would lead either Becky or Walky to catch on.
Thanks! Hmm… I like Becky’s last line better, but overall, I think I prefer what we have now.
I still see the one that BBCC quoted. Reloaded and everything, it’s still Walky rebounding pretty hard with Jason, Becky’s gonna stop caring.
What’s the new one say?
Okay…
Becky: Y’got dumped by Dotty?
Panel 2
Walky: It was a MUTUAL dumping, for we both recognize that I am a goof-ass an’ she is a future President.
Panel 3
Becky: Speaking as a fellow goof-ass, that is friggin’ *balls*, dude.
Dotty didn’t deserve ya.
Panel 4
Walky: *whatever* she’s the best but it’s cool ‘cuz it means I’m freed up to go back to my dream of livin’ alone in a place with a fire pole.
Panel 5
Jason: look, forget her, you’re fine, you’re fine, you’re fine.
Panel 6
Becky: ‘kay, an’ who’s this?
Wally: my former math ta. I’m gonna hire him to be my butler.
Jason: if you were a girl you’d be very pretty
Walky: he’ll live off-site
ha! thanks to weird caching issues on Windows, I now have one tab stuck on each version of the comic. interestingly, the art itself is different after panel 2. Different facial expressions, and panel 5 had only Jason in the gay version, but both jason and walky in the butler version.
Thank you!
Becky in the last panel looks like Misty from Pokemon out of the corner of my eye. Walky and Jason would be Ash and Brock in this situation of course, even if Jason fits more as that one chef gym leader from Black and White.
So Walky wants to either be Batman or a very wealthy Ghostbuster.
Seriously this animosity Becky has for Dorothy is the most negative part of Becky’s character.
Yeah, that’s part of what I liked more about the previous version. Take out the hate and add in some “gimme gay,” and that’s a character I’m on board with.
Of course, it’s good for a character to have flaws. It’s just also annoying at times.
What animosity? She’s doing the Bro thing and saying “X didn’t deserve you” to a friend. Sure, Dorothy is also a friend, but Dorothy isn’t THERE and also isn’t the one who got dumped. You don’t have to hate X to console a drunk, sad, dumped friend by saying X didn’t deserve them.
Yes, but Becky’s never been terribly fond of Dorothy. She likes to assert that she is Joyce’s real best friend and calls her things like ‘bony poindexter’ and a ‘friendstealinghussy’.
Both of those go back to her first couple days. I think she’s mellowed a bit on the rivalry with Dorothy, though it’s still there.
And she does like Walky.
She hasn’t called Dorothy anything even remotely mean since her first week on campus, when she was understandably under a lot of stress.
The fact that she considers herself to be Joyce’s REAL best friend is hardly animosity towards Dorothy. Even as she was saying that she was giving Dorothy helpful advice. There isn’t any actual malice behind it. Just insecurity
And all she’s doing here is siding with Walky, who she knows better and has more in common with. It’d be crappy of her to tell Dorothy that, but it’s a fairly standard thing to say to someone who just got dumped.
That’s true, although I wpersonally believe she’s…not malicious bt doesn’t particularly like Dorothy very much.
I think some of the impression of animosity comes from Becky’s facial expression in that panel, which may be more open to interpretation.
From his tumblr post about the strip change, Willis says, “(And also Becky shouldn’t miss an opportunity to be pissy at Dorothy.)”
So there’s that.
Becky IS kinda white, gay, lady walky, huh?
Walky you guys new that since day one and still boinked, so.
Really, I love everything about this strip.
Like, Jason. Cool. Your drunk ass is confusing butch and boys. Neato
Um…I’m pretty sure Jason’s last line is directed at Walky? If you weren’t confused about that, I’m not sure what you mean by your last couple sentences.
I read it that way at first too and just put it down to Jason being drunk, but at a second look it not only makes more sense to be about Walky, but it follows better from the previous panel.
I think it was that the start of the last panel drew my attention to Becky, so it seemed like his attention should follow it, but he’s doing the drunk thing where you ignore the rest of the conversation and just continue on your own tangent.
I wasn’t sure who he was pointing at – thanks!
“If you were a girl I’d bang you and lose my job”
Goof-Asses Anonymous? More like Goof-Asses Unanimous! Rah rah!
It looks to me like Jason’s more drunk than Walky. That surprises me, I would’ve thought Walky would be more of a lightweight like his sister.
He probably is, but he’s a different kind of drunk. Sal stumbles around, loses what little mind-mouth filter she had, tries to get in fights, and eventually conks out. Not sure about Walky – he certainly doesn’t seem much different.
In the Walkyverse, Sal fell asleep when she was drunk (oh, I’m sorry, she ‘rested her eyes’) and Walky was a mean drunk.
Jason downed all the flasks himself, Walky just got contact-drunk.
I just can’t get over how adorable Jason is like this.
Off site butler seems contradictory but as long as he does hit job of butlering.
And it’s true, Jason. If Walky was a girl he’d be pretty.
He’d also be Sal.
If even a drunk Walky is embarrassed to have you around, you know that you’re a mess.
You know what I wish? I wish that Dorothy could see how she’s managed to convince Walky that he’s worthless.
Meanwhile, I think that Becky would be offended by what Jason said if she had any reason to believe he could even see her properly, let alone actually process what his senses are telling him.
I believe Jason is referring to Walky in that line.
That’s the interpretation that makes sense, because he’s conflating him with Sal. The Drunk’s Mind’s Eye.
Walky already believed he was worthless long before they broke up. That’s not her fault. She never expected him to be perfect. She was upset when she found out he thought he needed to be:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-7/02-everything-youve-ever-wanted/rusty/
Dorothy never convinced him that he was worthless for even one millisecond. Walky is the one who decided he must be because he can’t be Dorothy. That isn’t something Dorothy is responsible for – that is an internal issue that Walky himself created by comparing himself to her and also has to resolve, which would be easier with a therapist, but we both know he ain’t going to be going to one of those within the next century of webcomics.
I’m not sure it’s “can’t be Dorothy”.
There are two components – even before he was on his current worthless kick, he thought the world of her and didn’t think he deserved her, but that was more his high opinion of her than being down on himself.
Then the flunking math thing came along and trashed much of what his self-esteem was built around – the effortless smart guy thing.
Dorothy never deliberately convinced him he was worthless. So no, Dorothy’s not responsible for that. But, his feelings of worthlessness wouldn’t be as strong as they are if he wasn’t trying to match up to her. No blame to her, obviously, but he wouldn’t feel it as strongly if he wasn’t involved with her and it’s possible that he thinks that if he’d never met her/fallen for her, he wouldn’t have fallen behind on his work. He’d be completely wrong to blame her, of course, but he may subconsciously think it.
Well, you heard Jason. Walky’s fine!
Walky’s fine.
Walky’s fine…
He isn’t.
I really want to know what the other version of this strip said that people are mentioning? The version I see right now is the one where Becky says, “Hey, if this convo ain’t gay soon I’m gonna stop caring”
That’s the original. Shift-F5.
Oh huh. Well that’s definitely different. I think I prefer the gay convo one better.
Yeah, it was actually funny.
is it me or did both the dialogue and the alt-text change since two hours ago?
Do you remember an afternoon kid’s show called “Candle Cove?”
You have to go inside.
…now I’m wondering what’s in my drink.
Walky, that is not why you two broke up!
And don’t start looking down on yourself. There’ll be another girl for you. Someday. Somewhere.
Maybe on Garbage Roof? *nudge nudge, wink wink, Bob’s your uncle*
This is going to end with Walky finding ouy Jason slept with Sal, won’t it?
I’m not sure if Walky would care, unless Jason admitted that he’d done so under false pretences (or at least he felt that he had).
It’s going to end with Walky finding out Jason slept with him (or vice versa.)
Why did the strip change?
#Jason x Walky
He’ll live… offsite. Like, maybe…
Alabama?
(I was thinking of shitholes, and my mind went straight to African nations, and I realized I was thinking like Trump.)
Okay, something’s occurred to me.
When Dorothy becomes President, Walky will become First Dude.
Historically, the First Spouse has always been responsible for deciding how the White House will be decorated.
The White House under the Keener administration will have a fire pole, bounce house, a whole wing made out of Lego, and a built-in McDonalds. The Lincoln Bedroom will be made into a ball pit.
this is a very good point
Drunk Jason is like Drunk Mike in that he is much more likable then his sobor self.
Listen to the red haired lesbian, Walky. If Dorothy gets rid of you just because of her obsessive compulsive disorder, then she doesn’t deserve you. Also, Jason is close to realizing how Walky and Sal are related. How many more boyfriends is Dotty going to get rid off just because she wants a posuition that has been corrupted by Donald Trump and Andrew Jackson.
Jason already knows they’re related. Sal’s referred to Walky as her brother in his hearing multiple times. Walky doesn’t know they’ve screwed yet though.
1) I have not seen anything in comic to suggest Dorothy has OCD, so it kinda sounds like you are just throwing around a diagnosis in a disrespectful way (lots of people casually describe people or themselves as OCD because I dunno, it is a popular phrase?) Maybe I missed something and she is sometimes head cannoned as having OCD, or maybe you have OCD and head cannon her as OCD because representation is important and people have to take what they can get.
But if yourself don’t have OCD, maybe think twice before just randomly calling a character as having OCD (Note – I am not asking you to defend yourself or out yourself, just asking that if you don’t have OCD to please consider not doing this in the future.
2) Also, while it is absolutely true that Walky’s description of the need for a break up puts Dorothy in a bad light, I am pretty sure that is why he thought a break up was needed (that he wasn’t good enough for her). Was absolutely appropriate for Becky to point out to Walky that he is not inferior for being goofy. However, I don’t believe that is why Dorothy broke up with him – She doesn’t think she is better than him, she just doesn’t think that she has time for the relationship. Like, she might end up in one again quickly (just like she jumped from Danny to Walky quickly) but that doesn’t change the fact that she doesn’t believe she should be in a relationship – just means she has a hard time staying out of a relationship when she is crushing on someone.
3) I am in the camp that their relationship was relatively healthy and that they both got good out of being in it. I don’t really think that breaking up with him will solve Dorothy’s problems. But I maintain she simply believes any relationship would be bad, not that she thinks Walky is deficient.
I do have OCD and depression. Also, Dorothy has shown to be obsessed with the tasks she has. She is taking too many courses, doesn’t shower, doesn’t eat healthy food, doesn’t take healthy breaks, andc her goal of being the presidnet of the USA seems to me immutable. She got angry when Danny said “it was a phase”, and she has said that her relationship with Walky was temporal until she went to Yale. Had she considered what Walky really wanted out of the relationship?
To summarize my opinion: Dorothy does have the time and does care, but she obsesses over her goals to the point that she is neglecting everything else. She even took not needed actions for her goals, like when she tried to be RA immediately after Ruth was hospitalized.
Dorothy must be careful if she doesn’t want to become like Roz: an uber liberal with casual flings and no attachments.
O.o
Seconded
So… why the change? It seemed innocent enough
I’m just gonna say it – the OBVIOUS solution to Jason’s dilemma is to dress Walky up as his sister and bring him to ‘the tribunal’ to clear his name and assure them that all that happened was perfectly fine and within the bounds of the ethical guide-lines* for TAs.
Well… for a drunk value of “obvious” anyway.
*) “Guidelines for TAs: Don’t do anything that Penny wants to do.”
This is why it’s important to brainstorm all your plans drunk, so you come up with ideas like this.
It’s also why it’s important to review your plans sober the next day, so you don’t actually follow through on them.
I take it you’re a Zoroastrian.
I dont remember the last time i laughed as hard at any webcomic as i did with jasons last line
“If you were a girl, you’d be very pretty”
At first, I thought Jason was pointing at Becky.
(8X8)
Hmmm. Original version was funnier.
Somebody watched the same Lindsay Ellis videos that I did. And he’s fine. Really guys, he’s fine. This is fine. He’s fine.
He’s fine.
Honestly, this is just how my friend talks when he’s drunk. Especially the pointing.
This is a really cute strip.
