He has bionic balls now. They made him better than he was. Stronger. Faster. Able to ejaculate in the blink of an eye . . . Ooh, on second thought, maybe he *shouldn’t* have gotten that elective surgery.
Daniel here. I’ve had to do the whole hernia surgery thing myself, abdominal/pelvic region, keyhole surgery. Went well, slept longer than expected since I stayed up all night to prevent missing the appointment, went home that day, did NOT have working ab muscles for 3 weeks after!! I hope your recovery went as smooth as possible…
Yea, the doctors were finding that standard abdominal surgery was getting too routine and boring, so they thought they would make it more challenging by doing it through a camara lense. But seriously, they just wanted to use some high tech shit.
If the aftereffects were that bad, maybe you should’ve had a doctor do the surgery. I’m all for do-it-yourself, but some things are best left to the pros.
whoops I didn’t finish typing this but anyways 10/10 punchline, as in continuing this line of thought makes walky a bit more punchable but still I’m happy with it
Come to think of it, I’m more surprised that the Walkerton parents aren’t constantly checking in on their golden boy to see if he needs snacks and to inquire how his future presumed doctorhood-level grades are going.
But they’re not entitled to see his grades automatically anymore, since he’s chronologically an adult. Linda would definitely pester him about them, though.
Sal might get a fleeting “good job” from Charles, but that’s about it.
That’s about what I’m expecting. A fleeting ‘oh, that’s nice dear’ or ‘good for you’ before focusing on Walky. And of course, it can’t be their golden boy’s fault so I’m sure they’ll come up with some sort of explanation.
But he also wasn’t looking at any of his grades for a while, I don’t think. It’s not totally unreasonable to think that maybe a couple quizzes (since he’s attended a couple times recently iirc) were scored really high and brought it from a fail to a very low pass.
That’s not to say I don’t think he’ll notice, I just think it’s probably pretty close to 50/50, unless Joyce or someone who’s seen his scores mentions it.
It’s “average.” Its not passing in grad school programs, but its just passing in undergrad. Passing grades for American undergrad programs are A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, and failing grades are D+, D, and F. There used to be minuses too, but they did away with those to spare feelings or something.
I’ve had a hernia surgery myself. It was loads of fun. I slept on the couch for about half a week because I didn’t have it in me to go up the stairs.
Of course, the real pain came when my insurance reversed course after the fact and decided not to pay for my surgery after all. Basically, they wanted me to have the surgery to prevent my health from going south in a way they’d be forced to pay for, but couldn’t resist smurfing me in the smurf. I had to pay out of pocket after negotiating a settlement. That sucked.
I just had hernia surgery yesterday. I’m walking around ok. Well, hobbling anyway.
Supposedly, my part after insurance is 4,000 bucks, but we’re still negotiating.
Doing the minimum will always doom you. If you spent your whole life getting Cs or 70s, one small mistake will ruin your average and make you try to achieve something greater and end up as stressed as an animation student on the last two weeks of the semester. It isn’t funny.
Okay, someone who knows comic-drawing please tell me what the hell is happening with Walky’s eyes in panels 1,3, and 4?
I know it totally works. I didn’t notice anything was weird the first couple of times I read the comic, and those eyes totally convey the roller coaster of emotions that Walky is feeling.
But I look at it with my analytical brain, and panel 1 Walky almost looks like he has cuttlefish eyes, with that classic w-shaped pupil. Panel 3 has…exclamation point pupils? And I can’t stop looking at the yin-yang shape in panel 4.
I can’t draw for squat, and I can’t analyze drawing for squat. But I’ll bet someone out there has the answers.
As far as I can make out, part of the black is the pupils of his eyes, part of the white is light reflecting from the pupils, the other part of the white is the whites of his eyes, and the other black is the shadows of his eyelids. I won’t swear to this in court, though.
In between reading the previous strip and this one, about 24 hours passed during which I received the book containing the storyline in which Amber changed Walky’s grade … along with a dozen nifty magnets! Thank you Willis!
mainly because the constant foreshadowing here about ‘having a future’ and life’s berevity in the last three strips – ESPECIALLY when Walky is walking into view or being addressed- has been driving me fucking crazy, i HAVE to say something, i don’t care if it ends up being a red herring.
Mommy Dearest wants him to do premed at some point so yeah, i assume it won’t be his choice to make after a while.
Christ, Linda reminds me of my mother way too much for my comfort in that way. She was so eager to make sure I succeed in life, and it ended up causing me to burn out and fail catastrophically.
Dear DYW, wishing you good meds, easy sleep, productive days, and a “get well soon” recovery from your surgery! Surgery is sometimes necessary but always leaves me in stitches!
Walky needs to find out how to study. That’s his real problem, he doesn’t know how to make himself learn things that don’t just click. Rereading the material doesn’t work for him.
Okay I was trying not to be but I am a little irritated by this now. I think it would do Walky and Sal some good to know Walky’s not capable of just coasting by without effort. It would take him off that “the good” kid pedestal their parents kind of put him on. Walky can fuck up too!…Which he did…and got away with it…bleh.
Man, when this storyline started up I remember feeling exactly in Walky’s shoes when I was failing one of my first college math courses. Flash forward five years now that I’m done with school and lol, that kinda concern feels so far away and way more manageable by now.
it would be funny if they released it but it was just a cinema painted on the side of a cliff

They plan to give the film a worldwide theatrical release in 2026.
do y'all remember when they found all that tf art in Osamu Tezuka's drawer post-mortem because I think about it often
anyway keep chasing your bliss and draw weird shit, god knows we need that right now
Today in #9ChickweedLane I learned that I have to weigh which is worse: the cartoonist already forgetting what this guy looks like one daily strip later, or that, yes, he's actually meant to be an old man, not a victim to an older cartoonist forgetting what young people look like
Like any average American, I’m for universal basic income and abolishing the police. I can’t get on board with these ultra-leftists calling for the universal hive mind, though!

enambler
…
look, I tried idk
anyway, Sal should watch out for Walky attentively throwing toys at her head
also, yay hernia surgery? hope you’re better Willis??
He has bionic balls now. They made him better than he was. Stronger. Faster. Able to ejaculate in the blink of an eye . . . Ooh, on second thought, maybe he *shouldn’t* have gotten that elective surgery.
Daniel here. I’ve had to do the whole hernia surgery thing myself, abdominal/pelvic region, keyhole surgery. Went well, slept longer than expected since I stayed up all night to prevent missing the appointment, went home that day, did NOT have working ab muscles for 3 weeks after!! I hope your recovery went as smooth as possible…
I don’t know what “keyhole surgery” is, but I don’t want it anywhere near my inguinal regions.
It’s when they perform the surgery through a keyhole, just to make it fair.
Instead of cutting you open, they make a small incision and guide the tools with a camera. It heals quicker, apparently.
Yea, the doctors were finding that standard abdominal surgery was getting too routine and boring, so they thought they would make it more challenging by doing it through a camara lense. But seriously, they just wanted to use some high tech shit.
If the aftereffects were that bad, maybe you should’ve had a doctor do the surgery. I’m all for do-it-yourself, but some things are best left to the pros.
I wish I could upvote comments here.
You operated on yourself? Dayum, these HMOs really are pushing to cut costs, aren’t they?
At least you tried
In all seriousness, trust me if you Walky a mile in my shoes just getting the pun out there that’s enough.
I see why you chose the Claire avatar…
The pun’s in trouble. You need to just walk it back. You know, make it an Amberler.
I somehow read Amber alert and I’m okay with that.
No, an Amber Alert is when she kidnaps small Asian boys.
hehehehe
whoops I didn’t finish typing this but anyways 10/10 punchline, as in continuing this line of thought makes walky a bit more punchable but still I’m happy with it
Hope your hernia surgery’s healed/healing well, dude!
And Walky/Sal rapport, as per usual, is funny stuff.
Remember the buffer. That surgery was in 1952.
I thought it was in 1918?
No wait, that’s when Gasoline Alley debuted. I sometimes get the two strips confused.
An understandable error.
Come to think of it, I’m more surprised that the Walkerton parents aren’t constantly checking in on their golden boy to see if he needs snacks and to inquire how his future presumed doctorhood-level grades are going.
They do send care packages? But I think they assume his grades are good because they always have been…
But they’re not entitled to see his grades automatically anymore, since he’s chronologically an adult. Linda would definitely pester him about them, though.
Sal might get a fleeting “good job” from Charles, but that’s about it.
That’s about what I’m expecting. A fleeting ‘oh, that’s nice dear’ or ‘good for you’ before focusing on Walky. And of course, it can’t be their golden boy’s fault so I’m sure they’ll come up with some sort of explanation.
… Has he not realised this also means Amber changed his grades a bit after all?
that’s why she made it a C, so it wouldn’t be as obvious. but yeah he maybe should at least have considered that she did.
I think he’ll figure it out. He’s lazy and irresponsible, but not stupid.
It’ll just probably happen at a more dramatic moment.
But he also wasn’t looking at any of his grades for a while, I don’t think. It’s not totally unreasonable to think that maybe a couple quizzes (since he’s attended a couple times recently iirc) were scored really high and brought it from a fail to a very low pass.
That’s not to say I don’t think he’ll notice, I just think it’s probably pretty close to 50/50, unless Joyce or someone who’s seen his scores mentions it.
He’s not stupid, but he’s also a big fan of denial.
I imagine if Joyce was there she’d drop the suspicion bomb though.
Is there any hope that he will take this chance to do better or are we going to watch him screw it up even more?
Look, despair is meaningless without that sliver of hope.
At least, that’s what Dragon Quest Builders 2 has taught me.
I want that game so bad, it looks like so much fun.
I was thinking Danganronpa
Going to haft to just watch and see.
I know what a ‘c’ means.
I don’t, I’m not American. I don’t even know if it’s a passing grade or not. I could look it up, but… eh, effort.
It’s the lowest passing grade at most American universities.
It’s “average.” Its not passing in grad school programs, but its just passing in undergrad. Passing grades for American undergrad programs are A+, A, B+, B, C+, C, and failing grades are D+, D, and F. There used to be minuses too, but they did away with those to spare feelings or something.
My university (alma mater, I suppose, since I recently graduated) uses minuses, unless they did away with them within the past few years.
And THAT is what a C means.
It’s for cookie, and it’s just barely good enough for me.
A+++ for you! And also a cookie for you, since you clearly don’t get enough of them.
You can listen and still not immediately do the thing she says, Walky, I’m just saying.
…And the Buffer pays for itself, again.
Mystery Achievement, you’re on my mind
(On my mind!)
On my mi~ind!
hope your body’s doing much better! ans as always, thanks for the comic
Willis, you magnificent Recipient of “Damn You!”s, good job staying alive!
Stop giving Walky ideas, Sal.
I’ve had a hernia surgery myself. It was loads of fun. I slept on the couch for about half a week because I didn’t have it in me to go up the stairs.
Of course, the real pain came when my insurance reversed course after the fact and decided not to pay for my surgery after all.

I just had hernia surgery yesterday. I’m walking around ok. Well, hobbling anyway.
Supposedly, my part after insurance is 4,000 bucks, but we’re still negotiating.
I’m actually kind of surprised he doesn’t suspect Amber.
That’s Walky, though, isn’t it? It fits into his self image that he was doing better than he feared.
Plus he told her not to do it and he probably still trusts that she wouldn’t go behind his back, since she’s his garbage roof buddy.
Doing the minimum will always doom you. If you spent your whole life getting Cs or 70s, one small mistake will ruin your average and make you try to achieve something greater and end up as stressed as an animation student on the last two weeks of the semester. It isn’t funny.
What if you’re an animation student getting Cs?
Not recommended.
So, time to start studying, then?
Nah, he’s got a C. He can keep coasting.
/s
Don’t listen to Needfuldoer, Walky.
What I hope he doesn’t do is rely on Amber to ‘fix’ his grade in calc and goof off instead of studying.
Okay, someone who knows comic-drawing please tell me what the hell is happening with Walky’s eyes in panels 1,3, and 4?
I know it totally works. I didn’t notice anything was weird the first couple of times I read the comic, and those eyes totally convey the roller coaster of emotions that Walky is feeling.
But I look at it with my analytical brain, and panel 1 Walky almost looks like he has cuttlefish eyes, with that classic w-shaped pupil. Panel 3 has…exclamation point pupils? And I can’t stop looking at the yin-yang shape in panel 4.
I can’t draw for squat, and I can’t analyze drawing for squat. But I’ll bet someone out there has the answers.
His eyes are watering in hope and joy over having a chance to maybe turn his life around
As far as I can make out, part of the black is the pupils of his eyes, part of the white is light reflecting from the pupils, the other part of the white is the whites of his eyes, and the other black is the shadows of his eyelids. I won’t swear to this in court, though.

ha ha have fun getting shitcanned in the second semester Calc class you are woefully unprepared for, you human Subway meal
Bold of you to assume he’s taking calc again after this.
Mommy Dearest wants him to do premed at some point so yeah, i assume it won’t be his choice to make after a while.
Christ, Linda reminds me of my mother way too much for my comfort in that way. She was so eager to make sure I succeed in life, and it ended up causing me to burn out and fail catastrophically.
Dear lord at first I read it as “attracted to one’s sister” xD
Personal wish fulfilment?
Don’t have a sister…. but… maybe?
Have been there, hernia surgery, except for the part about drawing a great webcomic. Hope your recovery has been complete David Willis!
Dear DYW, wishing you good meds, easy sleep, productive days, and a “get well soon” recovery from your surgery! Surgery is sometimes necessary but always leaves me in stitches!
Wish I’d said that! +1
(This is why I always read the previous comments before trying to add my own.)
Listen to your sister, Walky!
wait
Don’t listen to your sister, Walky
Listen to your sister about ignoring what she said before!

Walky need to go to study really hard like…NOW!
Or have enough courage to drop Calculus if it isn’t for him.
Walky needs to find out how to study. That’s his real problem, he doesn’t know how to make himself learn things that don’t just click. Rereading the material doesn’t work for him.
Okay I was trying not to be but I am a little irritated by this now. I think it would do Walky and Sal some good to know Walky’s not capable of just coasting by without effort. It would take him off that “the good” kid pedestal their parents kind of put him on. Walky can fuck up too!…Which he did…and got away with it…bleh.
Well, he’s sort of gotten away with it. He keeps going he won’t.
“♬ C is for ‘coasting’, that’s good enough for me! ♬”
-Walky, internally.
Actually, I honestly wonder if Walky is just teasing Sal here. He is her brother, after all. It’s sort of in the job description!
I’m sure it partly is, but it’s also got to be tempting. Especially since he still has no idea how to actually work on turning it around.
Man, when this storyline started up I remember feeling exactly in Walky’s shoes when I was failing one of my first college math courses. Flash forward five years now that I’m done with school and lol, that kinda concern feels so far away and way more manageable by now.
is this “c” the one amber gave him long ago when she broke in the math office?
I wish you a full and speedy recovery.
