This reminds me of the one episode in The Andy Griffith Show where the older couple fight all the time and end up getting arrested for disturbing the peace. Poor Andy had to try and fix the situation, he successfully reversed the process, getting both of them to get along and actually like each other, but b/c of that each of them started snapping at other people in Mayberry. Talk about reverse reverse psychology.
Four women and one boy, all freshmen at a local university, have been found dead and horribly mutilated nearby our own lake. According to their classmate, a Miss Jennifer Billingsworth, it was a shark. The lake has been closed until further notice
Glad somebody else mentioned it. Look at her fucking face. Panel 1 and 3. That is clearly an “I want that MgNugget-scarfing bundle of bad hygiene for myself” look.
Touche. I just assumed Galasso was mostly the same between the two continuities, as his Shortpacked character never encountered aliens or aquired abductee powers (so far as we know).
Any guesses as to why exactly Billie is so angry over the idea that there could be something between her and Walky? I ask because this exact situation has occurred to/around me precisely never, and the curiosity is driving me nuts.
If she was really trying to hide anything, then why does she start yelling about how Walky is not her boyfriend when ever they come within a hundred or so yards of each other? Her real purpose, most likely, is:
A. To make certain that he thinks about her, and plant the seed of reverse psychology in his little brain.
B. To warn all other interested parties that he is marked territory, if not claimed.
C. To tell parties interested in her, that she is not technicaly attached, YET, so they better start plying her with gifts (booze) soon, or lose out. Line forms at the rear.
Of course, she has been complicated by a version of Walky that is in equal parts more masculine and feminine. Her new room mate. Now she has to figure out how to seduce both of them, but not at the same time, of course.
It’s because, just like in other continuities of the Walkyverse, Billie and Walky grew up neighbors and went to the same high school together. However, in high school she was a cheerleader and considered herself the top of the hierarchy. Walky was Walky, and so he was at the bottom of the hierarchy. Billie never moves past her high-school-hierarchy view of the world, and considers Walky way beneath her. Granted, most of the time he justifies this view with his stupid and/or disgusting actions, but this is why she views him with disgust.
Not necessarily. There have been plenty of times I’ve seen two people acting similarly to Walky and Billie, and I’ve asked out of a burning curiosity — not because I was interested in either of them.
Of course, curiosity about the way they act around one other doesn’t necessarily preclude the possibility that Dorothy also wants to know if Walky is taken, or if she can safely make a move on him.
And by cover, Joyce means that she will take notes and get interviews for the school paper — seeing how Dorothy will be far too busy running for her life.
Walky waits in a dark room for Dorothy. He thinks he’s getting some, but she was actually only going to return some Monkey Master dvd. You know…”give it to him”. Oh Walky, you silly mixed up goose.
Meanwhile, drunken Billie follows some hunk into a room to makeout. But oops! Gets distracted along the way, goes into the wrong room. Then she jumps Walky.
Hot hot disgusting love ensues, followed by much drama when Dorothy comes in and flicks on the light.
No. Shakespear knew people better than you apparently. People often protest the most when accused of something they wish to keep secret or not admit even to themselves.
Not really. See she loudly protests her disdain of all things Walky while secretly loving him. Not that I believe she does, though I do believe she likes him and is unwilling to admit it to herself. If she really disliked him as much as she seems to, she could avoid him or ignore him, but she never does.
But not in the context in which Hamlet’s mother uses it. The woman in the play is hemming and hawing about her dead husband, and Hamlet’s mom is like “NOW KISS!” In that case, protest really does mean “speak out against.” As in “I think the lady is speaking out too much against banging a new dude now that she’s a widow.” So… yeah.
If you ignore the early modern English… they kind of are realistic. Like, alarmingly so. They’re not always super deep, because a lot of his characters are meant to realistically portray a character trait rather than a “full” character, but the man knew people.
Man I hate the “old married couple” line. Enough people say it and guys start thinking you WERE dating for a summer and a breakup with someone you weren’t ever going out with is messy… uh I mean its cliched

Billie and SAL DAMNIT
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

All in favor say “aye”

AYE AYE CAPTAIN!
I feel obliged to post this.
Aye!
Nay! Naaaaaaaaaaaay!
Why do girls get ALL the girls?!?

Is that a Joyce as Anonymous avatar? o_0
Because then the boys get all the boys!
HOLD FAST!!
I’m holding as fast as I can!
Or take Walky to a certain town in Canada.
^ This. Walky was kind of cute as a girl (personality, as well as appearance).
Female Walky and Billie is now my OTP. ^_^
Billie, Sal, Walky, Joyce, Dorothy, Sarah, and every other character in the story. Singularishipping! YAAAAAAAAY!
SHIP ALL THE CHARACTERS
I’m imagining her anger itself makes the sound “rage” and yes, that makes no sense, but she’s going to make your ass sense.
……….meep.
Nerdcubed? Amirite?
Wrong quest.
If you want to go to Yale run.
Uh Oh!
RUUUN FUCKING RUN!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE DOROTHY! Poor Joyce she sacrificed herself to cover Dorothy’s escape… I am sad bear now.
Sal’s a Walky substitute.
Why sub when you could have both? Rawr!
OOOOH Twincest action.
I feel like Billie is going to turn into a weredrunk
That will only occur when she is exposed to the effects of the full moonshine.
I will punch you. In the face. You will die from facepunching.
*CATFIGHT*

That hurt me in the soul, I just want you to know.
That warms my cold black heart.
three words: “Jekyll and Hyde”
Billie and Sal go drinking and that’s when things go south.
On account of Sal being unconscious in a few seconds.
Billie uses ROOFIES
Sal fainted!
Willis used GENDER EQUALITY
PLASMA MONGOOSE has fainted.
Plasma Mongoose uses FULL REVIVE
Sal is awakened (Hey, you should’ve specified who you were using full revive on)
Tucker uses LOGIC
…silly PLASMA MONGOOSE, fainted things can’t revive themselves.
PLASMA MONGOOSE was returned to party.
LOGIC? Where we are, we don’t need no stinking logic. 😛
Oh…. okay…
Tucker uses FISSURE
uh.. i was just making a joke about when Jekyll changed without the formula…
*tosses booze into the bushes* Quick now’s your chance to escape Dorothy!
You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry.
When is she nice?

Delightful
I have seen many old married couples where one member swings seatbelts around and bites people like a shark.
Usually that one is in a nursing home.
This reminds me of the one episode in The Andy Griffith Show where the older couple fight all the time and end up getting arrested for disturbing the peace. Poor Andy had to try and fix the situation, he successfully reversed the process, getting both of them to get along and actually like each other, but b/c of that each of them started snapping at other people in Mayberry.

Dotty needs all the cover she can get, there is no way anyone can escape while running in slo-mo.
Wow, never thought I’d see Dorothy be more naive than Joyce.
I think that’s canceled out by Joyce’s impending martyrdom in the last panel.
She’s not! She’s asking to check if there’s anything going on between them so she can go for Walky herself!
..Or at least, that’s what I’m hoping..
I was kinda thinking the same thing. Or just her journalistic instincts, sniffing out a story. Or both.
Four women and one boy, all freshmen at a local university, have been found dead and horribly mutilated nearby our own lake. According to their classmate, a Miss Jennifer Billingsworth, it was a shark. The lake has been closed until further notice
+1
we need a +1 button
So is this comic basically an excuse to draw a thousand different hilarious faces for all situations? Because if so, I approve.
She’s totally checking to see if the coast is clear for her to make a move! Walky + Dorothy = cutest couple ever!
Glad somebody else mentioned it. Look at her fucking face. Panel 1 and 3. That is clearly an “I want that MgNugget-scarfing bundle of bad hygiene for myself” look.
Oh God, run Dorothy, run!
We’re waiting, Miss Billingsworth. *chin on hands* Well?
Are You Mad! Don’t tuant her when she’s that pissed!
Billie X Walky is the inevitable future, a new pairing for Sal must be found. Any predictions?
Everyone knows that Walky/McNuggets are the official OTP in this comic.
OH GOD THE MENTAL IMAGES
I understand completely, Walky is a messy eater after all. 😀
I think Oglaf did that one already.
quite disterbing if i do say so myself.
Moral of the story: Avoid foods with white sauce.
Sal × Galasso is the most obvious so far.
No, no. Sal x Connie. Sal will sire an heir to the Galasso empire.
With whose semen?
Sal’s. Duh.
Futa?
When you’re that cool, you don’t need a penis to sire an heir.
Remember, Galasso gets sex confused. He’s never sure who’s got what equipment.
Actually, I can’t remember if we’ve seen signs of that in the DOA-verse.
Touche. I just assumed Galasso was mostly the same between the two continuities, as his Shortpacked character never encountered aliens or aquired abductee powers (so far as we know).
I think Mike x your mom is the only official one right now.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/2006_Nickel_Proof_Rev.png/220px-2006_Nickel_Proof_Rev.png
Salasso?
Well it’s not a no per se…
She’s mad cause she’s been found out.
Methinks the lady doth protest too much.
If it’s Shakespeare you’re on about, how about Titus Andronicus?
Demetrius: “Villain, what hast thou done?”
Mike: “That which thou canst not undo.”
Chiron: “Thou hast undone our mother.”
Mike: “Villain, I have done thy mother.”
This made me laugh harder than it should have… oh well! =D
Any guesses as to why exactly Billie is so angry over the idea that there could be something between her and Walky? I ask because this exact situation has occurred to/around me precisely never, and the curiosity is driving me nuts.
It’s walky. Wouldn’t YOU be mad?
Nope.
She didn’t want anyone to realize that she was secretly attracted to him?
She probably considers him more like a brother than a love interest?
There used to be something there?
That’s a scary thought.
Which one, the last one?
If she was really trying to hide anything, then why does she start yelling about how Walky is not her boyfriend when ever they come within a hundred or so yards of each other? Her real purpose, most likely, is:
A. To make certain that he thinks about her, and plant the seed of reverse psychology in his little brain.

Wait, wait, wait. Is Dorothy asking because she’s changed her mind about Walky?!
She could be throwing Billie a warning in case there is something between them.
Exactly. She’s making sure Walky is available.
Walky’s stained shirts is enough to make sure he stays available.
Not necessarily. There have been plenty of times I’ve seen two people acting similarly to Walky and Billie, and I’ve asked out of a burning curiosity — not because I was interested in either of them.
Of course, curiosity about the way they act around one other doesn’t necessarily preclude the possibility that Dorothy also wants to know if Walky is taken, or if she can safely make a move on him.
He definitely hasn’t shown her that he’s smart enough for her..
“The power of Christ compels you!”
… well Dorothy, Joyce gave it a shot….
That’s not a bad idea. If they gave Billie a shot, it might distract her long enough to make an escape!
Dorothy looks remarkably adorable in that last panel.
Nope.
Red eyes of love?! Wow, I wouldn’t have guessed that Billie and Walky were an item, sweet catch, Dorothy!
Maybe those red eyes indicate she’s a Republican.
Or Santa.
You meant Satan right?
What, you never watched Santa’s Slay? Santa is Satan.
Or possessed…
Or has a death note
“I will take this McNugget and EAT IT!”
*Monkey Master comes on TV*
“Just as planned.”
+1 Internet.
“Children were given toys with toxic paint, just as I planned.”

Do I feel a flashback coming on?
Oh, wow. That avatar with that facial expression is so much more appropriate than I could have ever expected.
Oooooh, exposition time.
And that’s how Billie was revealed to be a T-800.
DUN-DUN DUN DUN-DUN! DUN-DUN DUN DUN-DUN!
Or she could be from Krypton.
New avatar pic? come on that Billie face is… well I can’t think of a term that would not get my spleen removed
Is adorable the word you were searching for? 😀
Maybe.. AH MY SPLEEN!
You need to see a gastroenterologist, STAT! 😛
It reminds me of Sin from Sam & Fuzzy
(Consistent branding is important!)
Yes. This. Exactly. Now I will be unable to separate the two in my mind. From now on, Sin is a half-asian college girl. Half-asian, half-space gopher.
Rage
You have a great rage in your heart. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps.
Jennifer Billingsworth of Earth, You have a great rage in your heart. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps.
Pretend I said this instead.
Said this instead of what? 😉
(gives you a lemon drop)
(gives you internets)
I know it is very unlikely, but it would be funny to see Billie and Walky go on a date, in the same way a clown car accident is funny.
“Watch out for snakes!”
Who said that?
Samuel L. Jackson.
I thought it was Indy.
it was revolver ocelot.
Arch Hall, Sr.,Eegah!.
Her eyes says no but I think it’s just a cover-up.
Actually, her eyes say Dorothy must die for figuring out her secret. ^_~
I may not be a shipper but BillieXWalky seemed to good to pass up.
And by cover, Joyce means that she will take notes and get interviews for the school paper — seeing how Dorothy will be far too busy running for her life.
YES YES YES.
They need to accidentally make out or something.
PSL?
Walky waits in a dark room for Dorothy. He thinks he’s getting some, but she was actually only going to return some Monkey Master dvd. You know…”give it to him”. Oh Walky, you silly mixed up goose.
Meanwhile, drunken Billie follows some hunk into a room to makeout. But oops! Gets distracted along the way, goes into the wrong room. Then she jumps Walky.
Hot hot disgusting love ensues, followed by much drama when Dorothy comes in and flicks on the light.
Did you just read my mind?
You called?
Man, I want to ship Billie x Walky now just to make her mad.
I’ve already been doing this for months.
Paydirt, bongoes.
“Search your feelings, you know it to be true!”
NOOOOOOOOO!
The lady doth protest too etc etc…
I never understood that shit. People protest the most when they are accused of something they didn’t do and never will.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2mnLGWXGPI
No. Shakespear knew people better than you apparently. People often protest the most when accused of something they wish to keep secret or not admit even to themselves.
This theory would work a lot better if “protest” hadn’t meant “talk loudly in *favor* of” back in the day.
Not really. See she loudly protests her disdain of all things Walky while secretly loving him. Not that I believe she does, though I do believe she likes him and is unwilling to admit it to herself. If she really disliked him as much as she seems to, she could avoid him or ignore him, but she never does.
The important part is that Willis understands this about people.
At the end of the day, it’s Chekhov’s Gun.
But not in the context in which Hamlet’s mother uses it. The woman in the play is hemming and hawing about her dead husband, and Hamlet’s mom is like “NOW KISS!” In that case, protest really does mean “speak out against.” As in “I think the lady is speaking out too much against banging a new dude now that she’s a widow.” So… yeah.
The link was a comic doing a bit about Clinton/Lewinski. There may have been some sarcasm involved.
Yes, and Shakespeare’s characters are nothing if not realistic. Not at all aged either.
If you ignore the early modern English… they kind of are realistic. Like, alarmingly so. They’re not always super deep, because a lot of his characters are meant to realistically portray a character trait rather than a “full” character, but the man knew people.
So in panel 4 is Billie’s head turned to the right, or 3/4 of the way around to the left?
The latter. The anger has given her the powers of the girl from the Exorcist.
That would depend on if she got shafted to the zoolander controller for Halo.
Well, rage IS something. So in a way, Dorothy was right.
D:
ಠ_ಠ
(╬ ಠ益ಠ)
Not sure who I’d rather side with at this point. Billie is half Asian, and, well, rawr… but Dorothy is adorable, and… well, I’ll quit while I’m ahead.
There was this one time Walky introduced her to old Colonel Angus.
*snerk* with your gravatar…
I approve of the new DOA banner advert.
Because Sal features prominently.
And she looks super gay.
Hmm… Roomies is coming to mind. Didn’t Danny and Billie bicker like “an old married couple?”
“I will cover your escape” sent me over the edge into full on uglylaughing.
Hm…nope, still Joyce x Walky.
Oh yes, indeed. This girl is retarded.
Any more questions on why not to hate Dorothy?
THERE IS NO BILLIE ON ZUUL
No Billie on Zuul? Who cares, it’s ZUUL, MOTHERFUCKER! ZUUL!
ZUUL, MOTHERFUCKER, ZUUL!

Damn Typos…
Is it just me or is Billie looks cuter when she’s angry?
Not just you!
Huh, I honestly got more of a brother-sister argument vibe from them
It’s wincest without the cest! It’s 100% WIN!
dem shoulder-freckles B^F
Sorry to bring up the other timeline again, but did Walky and Billie learn to “kiss and fight” from each other in this one too?
“Billie of Earth. You have a great RAGE in your heart. You belong to the Red Lantern Corps.”
You inspired me to draw this… Not exactly the best but still hope you like it.

Okay, so what’s everyone else? Roz is clearly Star Sapphire, Joyce is probably a Blue Lantern…
Ruth is part of the Sinestro Corp.
Swimming in a lake eh? Hope they don’t get Naegleria.
Sounds like me and my friend…You know, the one who is currently dateing my sister 😛
Run Dorothy, run! Save your precious freckles!
I bet Billie and Walky have awesome angry sex at some point.
Hahaha! Them’s fightin’ words!
Now I’ve seen the face of evil.
I shall walk through the valley and death and know no evil-Holy shit run!
Man I hate the “old married couple” line. Enough people say it and guys start thinking you WERE dating for a summer and a breakup with someone you weren’t ever going out with is messy… uh I mean its cliched
Suddenly remembering all the times I’ve been told that last bit regarding my past girlfriends……..
