Lucy: QUIET YOUR FACE HOLE BOOSTER
Booster: But all I said was—
Lucy: YOUR FACE HOLE
Booster: But just—
Lucy: FAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
Walky: You heard her, Booster. Your face.
Booster: …wait, did I just fall through a timewarp into October 2010?
I’m impressed that Walky hasn’t put on his freshman fifteen yet. Ah, to be 18 again and be able to eat anything without consequence…
Freshman fifteen? That’s a thing?
It was more like 75 for me but that was because I was activity-limited recovering from surgery and they had an AYCE build your own waffle station in the dining hall.
Unfair, really.
Huh. I never got mine. But mind you I’m an alien parasite with this strange superpower that allows me to LOSE weight every Thanksgiving.
Well, if you had parasite symbionts sharing your host body with you, that might explain it…
Mind you it’s nothing to be envied, some years winters are unbearable for me. 🥶
Oh, for sure!
…Perhaps it might make sense to get your host body checked out for some blood tests? Check for thyroid, anemia, other parasites (besides you)…? Just a thought. Sometimes the metabolism’s kilter can tell us a few things about the rest of the body’s health. Just an idea. If you don’t have health insurance, you can find a community health center (in the States at least) here:
https://findahealthcenter.hrsa.gov/
or at the website of your county’s public health department.
Just an idea:-)
Yeah, I already know what’s going on. But besides my weight losing superpower, this is about as much as I am comfortable sharing for now. Thank you for the resource though! I’m sure someone around here will really appreciate it! 🙂
I’m glad you’re in touch with what’s up. You know how I worry. :-} Sorry to get too personal, there. Take good care, friend.
It’s alright, I love seeing you info-dump, I know it comes from a good place. And thanks, you too! 😊
Yeah that’s impressive, I’ve started keeping my weight/losing weight around thanksgiving, but that’s because I’m trying to start a personal tradition/habit of intermittent fasting leading up to it and getting decent exercise.
I had freshman negative 65, because I had to start buying my own food.
That sounds like entrapment. Those 75 will never hold up in court.
Personally, I never was on a meal plan. I lived off-campus and cooked for myself, so no real change between before and after starting college. What sunk me was later, after my gf moved in and we’d gotten comfortable living together.
My freshman 15 was due to the fact that our dorm cafeteria gave us a choice between fried food and pasta for every meal.
Yeah, and the pandemic pounds / corona calories …
First semester of college: campus shooting, two different kidnappings, 3 murders, 2 near suicides, dozens of instances of battery. 2 rape setups. Total loss of faith in god.
Second senester of college: global pandemic killing millions
Third semester: nuclear armegeddon
No spoilers!
Wow.
D-:
8-|
😮😦😿
I’m really hoping that the semester 3 prediction does not come true, but I do have that same fear.
Please remember that you have folks around you who do care. And we’re here if you want to talk about stuff. 🫱
I was also very concerned but I think they might have been describing Dumbing of Age’s plot with semester one, instead of their own life?
Hmm, yes, that makes sense — it just about exactly matches the plot so far.
Oh sorry. I didnt mean me. Yes. DoA plot:
campus shooting: beckys dad brought rifle to campus
two different kidnapping: dad kidnapped becky. 2 dads kidnapped much of main cast
3 murders: becks dad murdered by ambers dad. Ambers dad murdered by dirty cops. Mike killed fighting off ambers dad.
2 near suicides: ruth jennifer,
dozens of instances of battery: amazigirl versus punks, versus sal. Ruth versus Billie many many times. other characters.
2 rape setups: joyce and lucy
Total loss of faith in god: joyce
Oh, yes, I had forgotten about what happened to Lucy. Gosh!
Thank you for the clarification. Glad you are OK! (At least, I hope so!)
I recall the term being “freshman ten”. Then again, in college I wore an onion on my belt.
Back in nineteen dicketty-six?
Blame it on inflation, like all the companies are doing.
i was so unhealthy at home that i lost 15 pounds when i went to college (walking across the not very big campus to get to the food was more exercise than i was used to)
I had the exact same experience – living on the second floor of my dorm and hating elevators probably also contributed in my case. Of course, when I ended up dropping out, I got paid back those 15 pounds with interest.
I could never keep down the food from the dining halls. i would feel so sick after I ate there. ended up sticking to small pre-packaged things or, like, oranges. then three years later after I was out of the dorms and my sibling was in them, someone found a dead rat at the salad bar.
suffice to say I’m not sure anyone got the freshman 15 that year at our college lmao
I’ve always been fluctuating amounts of fat, but my current weight is the fattest I’ve ever been.
…More to admire!
Real artists
drawhave curves!I do both 😛
it probably helps that he also doesn’t drink (at least not too much/compared to jen as far as we’ve seen) but yeah it’ll prolly catch up to him after a while
Walky had a sip at apples to apple party and was qasted
The math TA gave walky a swig when he got fired and walky was wasted.
He has a tiny liver, or maybe alcohol allergy.
Walky had a sip at apples to apple party and was WASTED.
stupid thumbs
Sal at least needs a whole pint.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/02-threes-a-crowd/trousers/
Yeah, but that was beer while Walky was drinking Billie’s rotgut and whatever Jason had in a flask.
IIRC Jason had tequila, and Billiefer just spiked his Sprite with whatever rotgut she had.
It’s genetic. Sal’s the same way.
Oh no you don’t get it, this is Walky AFTER his freshman fifteen.
they all went into his butt, tho.
My first year i think i lost weight between walking to class and not having that much food around (we don’t get meal plans bc my school doesn’t care if you live or die as long as you pay fees).
Now that I’m back on campus though, with antidepressants and across the street from the campus supermarket I’ve become a proper fat ass
Don’t let technicalities hold you back, Lucy.
“Get that diiiiiiiiiick.”
Not in front of Booster!
Gives Booster even more things to snark at you about.
Booster, I love you, but let her have this XD
[impure thoughts intensify]
Good. More demon energy! ✌️😈🌌
if they’re all like that right now, imagine if Walky ever gets abs
You’ve seen how he eats right? Not happening
He eats lots of chicken and sausage, that’s protein.
I kind of want him to eat really good fried tofu and get really into that. He could also get into whey protein (I’m having chocolate milk every day but it’s healthy???)
aren’t you two kinda missing the part where he should get some muscles
Oh right we haven’t met Lucy’s brother in Dumbing of Age yet.
Has that poster always been there? Mike’s poster from It’s Walky?
Wait, which one? If you’re talking about the “You’re Fucked” poster then I’m pretty sure it’s shown up before, although I don’t recall Mike having it in It’s Walky!
It’s got added at some point between freshman family weekend and when Walky started falling badly behind in his math classes, but I’m not going back into the archives to find it’s first appearance.
He moved it sometime during the time skip. I don’t remember, but I’d guess it was Mike’s.

also i like how it looks like the butt taco on walky’s shirt and not walky is saying “oh, okay”
thanks for your cooperative and easygoing attitude, butt taco! that’s why everyone likes you.
Neat, I was wondering if Lucy’s brother would show up here.
It’s been quite a Lyle since we’ve seen him!
…i’ll see myself out
Merely hoping her brother is not named Glenn so I can rip off this piece of paper with “His torso is his nicest shirt” in it
Open up my eager eyes
his name isn’t Glenn Glenn!!! it’s not like he’s mario
Yeah that’s be ridiculous. He’ll have a nice normal name like Leslie Bean.
That’s going to be confusing
I think we should call him Bruce instead.
Leslie Bean, the lesbian
Dina Shore, who is into dinosaurs
Joe Veal, always happy
Danny Lions, always gives a particular flower to Sal
Sal War, loose pajama-like pants
Hehe
I think her brother is named Lyle? He appeared a few times in Shortpacked.
Yep.
https://www.shortpacked.com/comic/lyle
I hope he’s exactly like that here. There’s something really funny about a character grilling someone and being entirely unpleasable about it.
That’s a truly epic reaction face. Truly on par with the many Joyce faces
Right!?
Lucy’s a first year, so that means older brother, right?
Why? We’ve seen Ruth’s younger brother.
Lucy’s mentioned that her brother also goes to the same university, I think she might have actually said he’s an older brother.
Also mentioned he was living in McNutt, and Walky about died trying to keep from laughing.
Booster, y’all need to read the room.
And probably Walky too.
Booster spends entirely too much time reading people, and entirely too much time going on about his reading.
*their
My bad. And I started with their name to avoid that problem.
They need to leave.
I still find it slightly hilarious it’s canon that Walky has surprisingly sexy nipples.
Is there a particular quality about them that’s especially sexy, or…?
They’re large I think. A lot of guys have really small nipples/areola.
Are they? Seem about normal to me, based on the [science word for how many] I’ve seen before.
Whoa, didn’t see that coming. I’m not subbed to the Patreon… yet.
Also, hi Booster!
Haha, I adore this. Oh Lucy. Thirsty, thirsty Lucy.
Very thirsty.
I don’t get the lust over Walky, he looks likes he’s skinny with no muscle mass
What’s the appeal?
i mean, there’s been ppl who have been attracted to those who look like timothy chalamet without the other person being famous/rich, but they are still a bunch of hormonal teenagers. protection aside i’m surprised we don’t hear more of ‘college pregnancies’ versus “teen/jr/high school pregnancies”
but yeah walky’s more of a ‘boytoy’ you hook up with/have a fling with while you’re still young to get it outta your system as opposed to someone you’d settle down and marry if you plan it (you never know though, ‘worse’ guys than walky have had fairly successful marriages)
People have all sort of varied tastes. Some people are into muscular guys, some are into skinny dorks. Some are into princess girls, some are into goths. And sometimes you just combine lots of tastes.
Ask Jessica why she married Roger.
She’s not bad, shes just drawn that way
r reasoning was “He makes me laugh”
Yep. And Walky is known for his sense of humor, not taking anything serious.
Walky is Roger Rabbit.
It actually works on several levels.
“Skinny with no muscle mass.” So… attractive?
It really is amusing how many commenters have to find weird reasons for women to be into Walky, when he’s repeatedly been described in canon as attractive by multiple women.
Lucy acts very, very inexperienced around dating. When she announced she and walky were dating, mulitiple characters responded “Does Walky know?”
Walky has been repeatedly described as feminine. He’s also short, scrawny, and no muscle mass.
I would guess that at least some of Lucys attraction to Walky is that he is the very, very, very “safe” for Lucy.
Walky is a good starter boyfriend
“Safe”, non-threatening, low-effort, yeah that makes sense
I guess some people are into that. People are into all sorts of types that I don’t see the appeal of. I’m always surprised when I realize, usually years too late, that someone was into me.
I think he’s supposed to be slim and toned, which a lot of girls are into. MY problem is how he has a good body with a diet that appears to be at least 80% chicken nuggets and potato chips. I also imagine he hasn’t done a push-up since the last time his gym teacher forced him to.
How long have they been dating again? I’m wondering if we’re close to Sal’s estimate of a three weeks lifespan.
I believe it has been 6 days. (Each storyline = 1 day; Sal made that prediction 7 storylines ago in “As Long As It’s Free”, -1 for “This Was Halloween”. I’m pretty sure all of the storylines since the timeskip, Halloween aside, have been concurrent.)
Third date = sex, apparently. Howinthehell did that ever become a thing?
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/04-hompk/chill/
Jesus did. In the Sermon on the Mount.
One of my favorite Walky strips. Also a solid entry if anyone wants to point to a refutation on the idea Walky isn’t into Lucy, along with his reaction to when she licked sauce off of his shirt once when they were in a hurry.
She’s more into him, maybe, but he’s definitely demonstrably attracted to her still.
If you sleep with someone on the first date, you are rushing into things.
If you sleep with someone on the second date, it is the same, because you are obviously just didn’t want to sleep with them on the first date. Besides, on date 2 you are supposed to be having a trusted friend check their vibes in case they are crazy or a creep or something and you’re blinded by hormones. And you don’t get their answer until the next day.
Third date is Rule of Three, so it is OK to sleep with them, if you both want to.
it’s one thing if you know each other but i always thought that was fast, unless it was just from american pop culture/all the shows, though i always thought it was also a rush like getting engaged/married after a year, i’d have to know someone as friends for like five years (tho i’m prolly demi-leaning) before dating them and then trying to move in/live together rather than committing to marriage even if you can get divorced nowadays compared to back in the day
Had to Google what ‘demi’ meant with regard to relationships, and I have to say that it certainly sounds like me all right.
Canonically second date for lesbians involves a USPS change of address form and a U-Haul but the consequences for lesbian sex do not include pregnancy, so rounding up “protection” for hetero sex takes an extra day.
Speaking of protection, does the lesbian uhaul contain rolls of plastic wrap?
First place I ever heard it was Sex and the City. One of the characters was absolutely fucking frantic because she was going on her third date with some guy and wasn’t sure she wanted to fuck him, and it was apparently Very Important.
I didn’t hear about it again until it came up in this strip, presumably because it’s not a relatable problem to have unless you’re an amped-up white woman in a fictional version of New York City. (I refuse to look up what city that show is set in, but I assume it’s NYC because that’s almost a safe 50/50 bet in TV Land.)
Anyway, don’t live your life by weird Hollywood rules. Fuck whoever, whenever. Fuck as your first date, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want it to.
I read that for a second as “it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to” and was about to go “UM. Sarcasm? Please say that was sarcasm?”
These kids are 18-20 years old. Its the time of safe sex and exploration. Plus a lot of em are seriously repressed and sex would blow off steam.
It’s pretty well established https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOz2TSbmmhw
booster shut your FAAAAAAAACE.
i still think lucy is better than walky, but you know what girl, go get you some.
Yay, I wasn’t the only one wh–FAAAAAAAAAAACE
Walky’s hot. I’m comfortable enough in my sexuality that I say that. I’d go so far to say I wouldn’t kick him out of bed. Even though I know he’d leave crumbs.
I’d kick him out of bed, but mainly because I like a bed to myself.
And also because of the crumbs.
And there’s more room on the floor
[Obligatory “Allos are weird” comment here] Though, now that I think about it… Is Walky ace-spec, or just extremely oblivious? I don’t think we’ve ever seen him Thirsty, and he never seems to notice or understand when girls are Thirsting at him. Not to say he can’t or doesn’t enjoy Shenanigans, they just seem to be completely off his radar altogether…
I could buy that he might be demi or something on top of being just generally oblivious. It doesn’t cross his mind that people could be thirsting over him until mutual interest has already been established kinda thing?
I get it. Walky doesn’t really put any effort into his appearance, His hair is messy, his clothes are usually baggy and covered in stains, his shoes untied. He’s not particularly charming or tactful and he’s also not really trying to be. He’s a messy geek who wears his immaturity on his sleeve. The fact that someone would actually find THAT hot is welcome but unexpected.
I relate to Walky quite a lot.
Pretty sure we’ve seen Walky exhibit attraction, he’s just bad at expressing what he wants to do. He’ll get all hot and bothered but he freezes cuz he overthinks it. Dorothy basically had to coach him through it.
I relate to Walky quite a bit.
Walky has been thirsty before
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-4/03-up-all-night-to-get-vengeance/guystuff/
I was able to point out the same thing.
Yup.
https://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/02-uphill-from-here/sight/
Id say clueless. When dating dorothy, there was some interaction where Dorothy said something that made Walky finally realize and say “wait, so i could ask you and you would?” Dirothy says “yes”. And he asks her to take her shirt off. Think they had sex. its kinda a mangled memory for the details. But seems like it kinda established walky being too shy to ask for what he wamted?
Also, once dorothy and walky were shopping for clothes. Dorothy bought walky a shirt i think. She then leans over to walky and says something like since im buying this for you, its only fair that you get to buy something you would like to see me wear for you. It was pretty clear dorothy was hinting that she would wear whatevr lingerie he picked for her.
Next panel dorothy is wearing a tshirt that said “mac n cheese”. Walky clearly didnt get the hint.
So he seems to be presented as willing and horny but also really clueless.
Walky bought her a nice shirt, which is an excellent choice. I mean, what is the point of gifting underwear? Don’t you think Dorothy already had a set of underpants? Underwear is boring. If you want to see someone in a nice set of clothes, obviously you buy them clothes they can wear where people can see them.
“I mean, what is the point of gifting underwear?”
Seeing the other person in it (and only it), ideally during a late-night rendezvous.
Dorothy all but outright told Walky “pick out something sexy and I’ll wear it for you”, and he gets her a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinner graphic tee. Whatever floats your boat I guess, but it seems like he missed the subtext entirely.
(She wore that shirt several times since then, so maybe it was 4D chess all along?)
Some guys just do not get hints. We don’t have receivers for whatever telepathic frequency girls are sending on. But that sort of guy will adore you forever if you make it a habit from early on to just look him in the eye and tell him what you want him to know.
That seems awkward to me.
Some people don’t get hints (or at least hints on certain topics.) It’s not unique to guys. Girls don’t have some weird telepathic powers that guys don’t get.
“Whats the point of ” lingerie?
Might as well ask whats the point of art, of music, of webcomics.
Its to make you feeeeeeeel.
Please tip your wait staff….
“Sexy” underwear is pointless, because you’ll be taking it off anyway. If you’re attracted to someone, the underpants they wear should not make a shred of difference. Neither will it if you’re not attracted to them. The point is not that they wear undies, the point is that they’re almost naked. That’s hot.
Some people like fancy almost-naked.
If it’s not your flavor, that’s fine. But calling it “pointless” is a bit silly. The point is decoration.
Previous version of Walky (from when he was the title character) definitely wasn’t ace, just ask previous version of Joyce.
ThumpaSPRUNG
She also used this distraction tactic on him a few times, with great success.
He acts stoic about it but he’s actually just nervous (season 2 walky acts stoic when he’s nervous, it’s a character development thing). He finds lucy attractive, if you don’t remember read that strip with them both in it where she licks ketchup off walkys shirt.
i think he’s just a ‘late bloomer’ , he is interested but at least he’s not dating specifically to get laid/hook up like some college bros do lol, but yeah i wouldn’t expect him to do that on purpose/attempt to flirt/seduce lucy while a roommate isstill near by
…Would anybody like to play a game?
Not so complicated like yesterday’s!
OK, here goes:
Q: What breakfast food would you MOST like to have, in the whole wide world?
I’ll go first:
A: Hot grits with cheese and chicory coffee with cream. There’s nothing better.
Oh yeah, coffee’s essential. My favorite being french roast with 25% cream 🥰☕
Rice omelet with lots of chashu pork!!! 😊😋
You and your rice omelets! 😀 One of these days I’ll have to follow your recipe and make one.
i never wakeup in time for ‘breakfast’ but eggs are always good. maybe bacon sometimes if it’s not too greasy
a breakfast crepe would be good, the batter tends to work well with savory or dessert lol.
tteokbokki (korean) would also be good as long as it'[s not too heavy/depending on the day ahead lol
I have got to try tteokbokki. SOON!
you can get instant in some places, of course ‘fresh’ is better but it’s not too bad, i don’t care as much for the powder but there are some brands that give you an actual liquid sauce packet as opposed to powder (tho tbh i’m ‘boring’ sometimes and am ok with just eating it plain lol)
I had “rose tteokbokki” before, bit overpriced, and even with cheese added on, it was still quite spicy despite ppl saying the ‘rose’ is supposed to be more mild but it’s a good kick if you like it
A big fat juicy steak.
While not the strictly traditional version, I would love to have some hiratake cut up and fried like strips of bacon right now.
Also, I accidentally flagged your post while trying to reply, sorry 🙁
Ooh, um yum num! ;-9
Eggs with cheese, Specifically the eggs that come from hotels, bacon, buttered toast (not too crispy, so that I can make it into a sandwich.
Why hotel eggs, specifically?
Because they’re creamy and buttery and delicious every time i eat them. Melt in your mouth.
Oh, how wonder-full!
I think that’s because they’re cage-free chickens that are laying them! 🐔🥚
Usually they’re cheap powdered eggs, at least in my experience.
Add a little cornstarch to your scramble. The eggs will come out super moist and fluffy.
Great idea!
A proper Full English. Though I’d also really like to try the equivalents like the Full Irish or Fried Breakfast. I see so many mouthwatering photos Online but I’m too lazy to cook that much in the morning, and nobody makes them around here.
Who’s got time and energy to cook like eight different things and create future dishes to wash, just for one complex breakfast? That’s what the good folks at Denny’s are there for.
Well, that and midnight pancakes.
That sounds delightful. Especially the fried field mushrooms!
If someone else is cooking a Western omelette, if I’m cooking, scrambled eggs, either way tea and juice on the side.
Mmm… a western omelet sounds AMAZING right about now!
The tastiest breakfast is anything that someone else makes for you.
Its like +4 on the flavor scale
So true!
My favorite breakfast food is probably Carne Asada, with a couple of beef enchiladas, and some guacamole with a nice pile of tortilla chips.
Waking up around 4-5pm is nice.
¡Rico!
lol if i was a sibling, i wouldn’t care how nice their partner dressed unless they looked like homeless or so
Right? It’s lunch, not a gala.
Yeah, I make it a point to wear an anime shirt every single day I’m not wearing a work shirt. At this point I have probably less regular shirts than ones with anime on ’em. As it should be.
as long as it’s not an ‘ahegao’ hoodie, i think most anime shirts are fine XD; tho i can understand some judgemental looks since there’s lots of series that are like “i’m 14 but have DD cups and exist for fanservice reasons”
Think its canon that food sauces spontaneously appear on Walkys shirts. He wore a sweatshirt to lunch one time and got sauce on his shirt underneath. He wanted to have a clean shirt when he took his comics to the newspaper.
Walky is like -5 defense to sauce based attacks.
So he’s weak to Pastamancers and Saucerors.
That just gave you +3 on ego attacks for duration of the game
🙂
Yeah, I was trying to imagine my sister insisting a boyfriend had to wear a nice shirt to meet her boyfriend, and it just seemed bizarre.
Then I remembered that I’m very much a Walky, so…
(“Hey Sal, how come you never tell Danny he has to dress up for the three of us to go somewhere?”
“Firstly, because we never do that, and never will. Secondly, because you’re you.”)
The second “boyfriend” in that sentence should read “brother” obviously.
Well, I dunno about that. I stayed pretty cute when I was homeless, half a lifetime ago. You can’t always tell.
Lucy gets excellent faces.
I know it’s been like a year or two for us… but what’s the current in-strip timeline for these two? I had thought they had been together longer than that… then again, it’s mostly been “hanging out” for them rather than “date dates”.
I’ve been under the impression it’s been 2 weeks max.
Well, see, they were dating quite a bit but only Lucy knew about it at the time. I believe Dorothy told Walky “you should date lucy, she likes you” and Walky was like “she does?” So this is probably 3rd date coming up for walky and 20th for Lucy.
She was “dating” walky before his hair got perfect length. And then when it grew that extra millimeter, a bunch of the women said nope, not sexy, its walky, and Lucy slid in with like “so, you all just promised not to date (my) walky. Its canon now”.
Swveral walks to class. Movie night. Lucy helped with comics. Something about getting him a nice shirt. Then lunch, and he got saice on the nice shirt.
And in this weird world where time moves like a glacier that could be 3 days ago.
So “getting (you) a nice shirt” is something of a mating call, if Walky would notice.
So, to better my chances with a Woman, I should go Clothes Shopping with her?
Thinking about it, clothes shopping with a woman has some shared characteristics with vampirism: the invitation has to come from the proper party to have effect
Yes. And hold her bags. And offer positive feedback when she tries things on. And buy lunch. Clothes shopping can be a surprisingly intimate experience.
“This shirt is too tight.”
“It won’t be if you do enough crunches. I’ll help. I have protien powder at my house.”
Roxie from PixieTrixComix, is that you?
That basically is almost verbatim how her and Zadie started out, huh.
It is not. I am a strange weirdo. Would you like some candy? There’s plenty of candy in my van. Heheheheh.
Actually I can’t back that up. I have no Van. I have no Candy. What even is my life?
As long as we can stop at a nerd store during the outing, clothes stores aren’t nearly as wretched as #Guys make them out to be. My ADHD kicks into overdrive in a bad way if I have to “just stand there” for too long, and I feel awkward/judged being in a store full of clothes that obviously aren’t meant for people shaped like me, but so long as I have something to keep me occupied/distracted from those two factors, it’s honestly a pretty decent time.
It is tough to find good clothes that fit. I find a few specialty stores that sell what I want and stick with those, but these days I mostly just shop online.
Which is weird, because they seem to prefer it when he has fewer shirts on.
I didn’t fully focus on the third panel so I just saw the bare chest and I was like “holy shit Lucy”.
Now I’m waiting for Yoto.
Agh, I’d have to fight against my weakness.
That weakness being I just don’t have any strong feelings about Lucy one way or the other.
Maybe he should take off his pants too, for science
I thought you’d never ask.
Literally tgat is a question i never thought i would hear you ask.
(Sorry. Quote is from memory. Probably mangled)

WALKY BROKE LUCY!!!
LUCY’S FACE!! 🤣
Lucy face reaction on par with a Joyce face reaction
Anyone else ever have a dating talisman? An outfit, piece of jewelry, or underwear even, which seemed to portend good luck on a date?
Walky’s good luck charm is the Taco Butt shirt. I can barely believe it.
Also, we don’t know what might have happened off panel but after Dorothy, then Amber, I’ve been waiting to see Walky and Lucy heat up a little. The lip bite and blush is what I’m here for.
Walky’s Dating Talisman is his ripped Abs. She could cook bacon and eggs on those Abs.
Well, I used to go around with a cardamom pod under my tongue for luck in love. Maybe that counts?
You could summon and enslave a goetia demon into a necklace quartz crystal. She is a succubus, enslaved to bring you luck with the opposite sex(or what have you)
Demon summoning to help with dating? Is this a witch thing or the premise of Viper GTS?
Why? What is allowed to happen after the third da…… HHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!
Dang, he’s in better shape than the time he did a pinup with a taco
Sure, you can arbitrarily round up to three; who’s going to say anything?
I assume Dorothy trained Walky not to be his usual clueless, indifferent, selfish self in bed.
This feels like it might be Lucys first time. And it would really suck if her first time is 5 minutes of Walky doing his thing and then a nap.
So, Booster really IS replacement Mike.
Welp with the same basic hairstyle and figure, no shit!!! It’s like how Majin Buu was reincarnated as Uub in Dragon Ball Z!!!! 😂😂😂
You should wear some nicer pants too.
Lucy, no!(t at the moment, but honestly you should hit that.)
Oh hey, I just noticed that Walky finally mastered taking his shirt off with both hands all sexy like they do on television.
Great callback!
Accuracy is key!
Your username and comment go together so well it’s almost scary.
In the words of Pam on “Archer,” SPLOOSH!
