I know Amber and AG don’t share memories now, but I’m wondering if Amber knows about the grappling hook. If she does, Walky is in for an awesome surprise.
“I gave you my blessing, bro! I’m trying really hard not to give a shit about your dating life! Please stop making me give a shit about your dating life!”
It’s a damn good option. Though I suspect ‘Up Here, We Can Be Garbage’ and its Walky-Amber cover were too recent for the same character combo to pop up again so soon. Maybe Dina’ll get a good line sometime soon?
as a woman who is the average hight at 5’4″, I get called short very often. most guys and about half the girls I know are taller than me so I seem short even though I’m average.
I forsee that childhood poverty, and its attendant malnutrition (literally “bad nutrition”, not food scarcity) in the USA is going to lead to generations of shorter people. We should enjoy (among other things) fielding national teams which can compete successfully in volleyball and basketball while we can.
Like, I’m 5’0″ and I once dated a fellow who was 6’3″. I didn’t hold it against him or anything, he can’t help it. It’s just, he was so tall that I couldn’t hold his hand without feeling like I should cross a street.
You know what why not? This feels like a great time to get busy, not like there’s any other dire matters that need to be addressed….god I’m cracking up at this now.
Amber is trying so hard to disprove his playground ball assessment and is forced to concede.
In a few strips something is going to knock that feeling of what is missing loose. At least the longer the tension, the more satisfying the release (maybe.)
I thought you meant Thatcher from rainbow 6 and I was gonna be like DAM RIGHT I WANNA SEE THAT MAN NAKEY but then I realized you meant Margaret Thatcher and I got sad
Still no reveal of whether Mike’s alive or dead yet. I would Damn You Willis, but I’ve depleted my supply and haven’t gotten around to getting more yet.
At this point, I’m half expecting Mike to just show up for class or lunch or whatever entirely fine (or with a bandage or a cast on his arm or something) and no further explanation to take place for months.
While Sal has complicated feelings to Walky, to amber, and to Walky and amber dating, I’m pretty dang sure she would prefere to not be involved in their sex life.
I had the weirdest fucking dream playing out the next good bit of this storyline except the dingy apartment complex from the night before got transformed in my subconscious to this beautiful fucking architectural monolith made of glass panes in the same shape.
Also Amazi-girl flipping around and running up walls in real time? Looks amazing. I don’t care how asleep I was.
Or if you read It’s Walky.
I am slowly warming to Dumbingverse Sal, but I still loathe her in the Walkyverse and find that version of her very much a boner killer.
She is not. Finding out that her brother’s new squeeze was the girl who put a knife through her hand led to an uncomfortable evening, but she has for the most part moved on.
(random art comment)
There’s something about panel 1 & 3 Amber that I can’t quite put my finger on – like the expression is one I haven’t seen before in this comic, on her or anyone else? Slight difference in art style? She looks maybe a little more ‘real’, less cartoony than usual?
Loading ...
It also makes the same sound as a playground ball when struck.
If things get kinky between Walky and Amber, anyone walking past the door will think a dodgeball game is going on.
I doubt Amber will be dodging any balls.
I know Amber and AG don’t share memories now, but I’m wondering if Amber knows about the grappling hook. If she does, Walky is in for an awesome surprise.
The grappling hook was obtained before they stopped sharing memories, so she most likely does.
Never mind memories, you’d think Amber’s body would be at least sore after that night…
Panel four: Amber, above all else, respects the scientific method and observation of evidence.
But she should test her recollection. For Science.
But who will be the control group?
“For Science!” is a mating call to some couples, like Agatha and Gil.
‘If you were looking out for me, you wouldn’t make me look at this.’
“I gave you my blessing, bro! I’m trying really hard not to give a shit about your dating life! Please stop making me give a shit about your dating life!”
*plays the U2 version of “Maggie’s Farm/Cold Turkey” on the hacked Muzak*
Huh. I just noticed that Banner Image Walky is cheating on Amber.
Ironically, in my banner image, Amber is cheating on Walky. With a fanfic of Batman and Superman.
Fanfic does not count as cheating. Let’s not go wild with fantasy, here.
In mine, Ruth and Billie are having a sad threesome with their buddy Jack.
In mine, Becky and Dina are cheating on absolutely nobody.
My banner image is a very lonely Blowjob Cat.
Technically they’re not dating anymore so it doesn’t count

It’s a damn good option. Though I suspect ‘Up Here, We Can Be Garbage’ and its Walky-Amber cover were too recent for the same character combo to pop up again so soon. Maybe Dina’ll get a good line sometime soon?
There was ”Renounce Magical Thinking and Embrace Empirical Evidence” from Dina just last chapter.

The first four panels are life.
Amber is 5’3″ in boots, why would she disparage Walky for being a height that’s reasonably easy to smooch?
Short dudes 4ever.
She’s 5’3ish normally, I think it was 5’5 in boots.
In that case, Willis srsly needs to stop having his characters call her short. I just looked it up and the average for women in America is 5’4″. Jeez.
as a woman who is the average hight at 5’4″, I get called short very often. most guys and about half the girls I know are taller than me so I seem short even though I’m average.
5’3 is miniature
– a 5’6 woman
Average for the whole country isn’t the same as average for the younger generation. Doesn’t account for variations across ethnic backgrounds either.
A 5’4” white girl at college in Indiana would definitely be “short” among her peer group.
I forsee that childhood poverty, and its attendant malnutrition (literally “bad nutrition”, not food scarcity) in the USA is going to lead to generations of shorter people. We should enjoy (among other things) fielding national teams which can compete successfully in volleyball and basketball while we can.
Like, I’m 5’0″ and I once dated a fellow who was 6’3″. I didn’t hold it against him or anything, he can’t help it. It’s just, he was so tall that I couldn’t hold his hand without feeling like I should cross a street.
My mother was 5’0″. She claimed to be 5’¼”, but she was 5’0″. My father was 6’7″.
I’m 5’1.5″ and my tallest partner was 6’4″… that was already really difficult. I can’t imagine such a height difference. Heck!
My mum is probably a smudge under 5′ now now but claims to be 5’½” still I think (possibly even 5’1″ which I don’t think she ever was.
On a good day when my neck and back aren’t a mess, I’m 5’2″ but most of the time I’m more like 5’1″. My husband is 6’7″.
Our two girls are tall, it’ll be interesting to see if No. 3 bucks the trend or not!
Oh huh. I feel really dwarfed as a 4’7″ person. Call me short to save y’all some grief.
My fiancee would love you. She’s 4’9″, and she wants to find someone who she doesn’t have to look up at.
Oh Sal, this is what you get for coming back to Indiana for school. 😛
Oh so I’m the same height as Walky. Neat.
Same, just stockier. Thankfully not to Ross extent.
You know what why not? This feels like a great time to get busy, not like there’s any other dire matters that need to be addressed….god I’m cracking up at this now.
Gar-Bage-Scow!
Gar-Bage-Scow!
Wooo!!
**shakes pompoms**
I’m pretty sure this ship has been named the SS Garbage Skowl. 😛
Yeah, I’m definitely still shipping them.
Thinking about naked people you don’t want to be attracted to while aroused has always seemed a risky proposition to me.
Like that Hark! A Vagrant strip about rivals. Fast track to accidentally ending up with an Iron Lady fetish, or worse
I think there might also be an Oglaf on the subject, but I’m not sure
You can usually count on there being an Oglaf.
And an XKCD.
*re–calibrates height chart* Dammit.
Amber is trying so hard to disprove his playground ball assessment and is forced to concede.
In a few strips something is going to knock that feeling of what is missing loose. At least the longer the tension, the more satisfying the release (maybe.)
Nobody wants to think about Thatcher naked, Willis! Conservative women aren’t that attractive.
I only find conservative women attractive until they start talking and reveal themselves to be conservatives.
To steal a line from (I think) Florence King, “If only I could put a paper bag over their personality”.
I thought you meant Thatcher from rainbow 6 and I was gonna be like DAM RIGHT I WANNA SEE THAT MAN NAKEY but then I realized you meant Margaret Thatcher and I got sad
/o\
You would think the Wall Street Journal would have a chart showing the shifting demand for Nickels.
You mean like Mike Nickles? Oh, wait, he spelled his name Nichols.
Is that the Mike everyone is asking about? He died in 2014 after a long and successful career.
Still no reveal of whether Mike’s alive or dead yet. I would Damn You Willis, but I’ve depleted my supply and haven’t gotten around to getting more yet.
At this point, I’m half expecting Mike to just show up for class or lunch or whatever entirely fine (or with a bandage or a cast on his arm or something) and no further explanation to take place for months.
Mike will no longer be a topic of conversation among the cast, and will never come up again in the comic, ditto Blaine and Toe-Dad.
A few years from now as everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving in-comic Mike shows up in a neck brace.
While Sal has complicated feelings to Walky, to amber, and to Walky and amber dating, I’m pretty dang sure she would prefere to not be involved in their sex life.
I had the weirdest fucking dream playing out the next good bit of this storyline except the dingy apartment complex from the night before got transformed in my subconscious to this beautiful fucking architectural monolith made of glass panes in the same shape.
Also Amazi-girl flipping around and running up walls in real time? Looks amazing. I don’t care how asleep I was.
Amazi-Girl has the power of Flowmotion, and that monolith was just Mike’s Station of Awakening.
No one thinks of Sal that way.
Sal being used as a boner killer seems odd to me.
It literally only makes sense if you are her sibling or have trauma related to her. For anyone else, she’s a boner maker.
Or if you read It’s Walky.
I am slowly warming to Dumbingverse Sal, but I still loathe her in the Walkyverse and find that version of her very much a boner killer.
I know Walky’s reading “Math” the critically acclaimed series of novels, but what is Sal reading?
She also has a calculus midterm. Could just be an alternate textbook. Or notes?
Yeah, baby!
Well, somebody had to.
…
OK, OK, nobody had to, but I did it anyway.
Sal as a study chaperon… This is just the best idea. Really perfect, I love it♡!
Obligatory “where is Mike you damn Willis” post
This whole Mike situation has turned into a game of minesweeper
I forget: is Sal not against these two together?
Predicting the next new coupling – Joyce and Drew.
She is not. Finding out that her brother’s new squeeze was the girl who put a knife through her hand led to an uncomfortable evening, but she has for the most part moved on.
Oh yes I remember that eventful evening.
And yeah she did invite Amber to roller derby – can’t wait to see how that goes.
Sal run to Jason panickedly “they… they wanted me to watch them do math, HELP”

IDK, maybe my brain’s just being weird today.
Eyebrows are above her hair?
No, it’s her eyes. Which…. should have been obvious, if my brain was working properly.
G’DAMMIT, Amazigirl! You start sharing your memories again right this instant, young lady!
((blue text)) I’m protecting her from things she doesn’t need to know. ((/blue text))
No, no, we’re having none of that! Steven Universe did a whole episode on this and I know you’ve watched it!
