Fortunately for the student body, I am pretty sure that satellites can’t get detailed enough photos to read lips. If I recall it has to deal with the problems of differences between the rotations of the Earth and satellite their orbits. The satellite cameras can’t adjust for the speed differences well enough to get a clear shot that detailed – the photo would end up all blurry. I would verify this information, but I don’t want search the internet for details on spy satellites. I don’t need to be on any government watch list.
Carla would still not have a spy satellite monitoring for conversations about her, because Carla already knows all conversations are implicitly about her!
Why use satellites when Rutech nanodrones are more efficient, targeted, and undetectable and are, in fact, watching over your shoulder right now to see what you’re up to on the Internet.
yee, Carla’s an Engineering major who likely has a more than thorough physics understanding
a spy satellite in low earth orbit could only view a target like Indiana University for about 80 seconds, and will only be able to view it again once 24 hours have passed
A geostationary satellite can continuously keep focus on the same target, but have such a high orbit above the surface that they can’t resolve things smaller than 6 meters in diameter — good enough to spot tornados, not so much for reading lips XD
This! As anyone who’s played too much Kerbal Space Program knows, to keep a satellite in low orbit AND pointed at a specific spot on the ground, you either need to burn a lot of delta-V (not a long-term solution) or you need to have a constellation of satellites.
After 90 minutes, it’s gone around the globe, but it’s not over Indiana University. It’s going too fast to be synchronized like that, and it can’t slow down or else it’d crash. That’s what a Geosynchronous orbit is; when you’re at the right distance from Earth that you can go just the right velocity and be over the same places every day.
You’re still not “parked” in the sky, however, unless you’re in a Geostationary orbit, but that’s only possible over the equator.
That’s why in movies and such you hear them saying that satellite coverage will begin and end at certain times. Unless you’re spying on Ecuador, there’s no way to just park a satellite over places.
Also, in one public comment, you posted the words “spy sattelite” and “government watch list”, you really think a little Google search is gonna matter after that? (I’m safe because I put them in quotation marks)
(PS, just to be clear, this conspiracy theorist stuff was intended for humorous effect)
The fun part about this is, going on Google and typing “dumbingofage.com “spy satellite”” gives your comment as the first result, making you extremely easy to identify with those keywords.
You can only have geosynchronous orbit over the Equator, and it’s too high up to resolve lips with anything that you could sensibly launch without the budget and/or technology of the Imperium of Man.
You might get lucky if you had something in the right point on its Molniya orbit that it happens to be close enough and pointed in the right direction, but you’d have to be very, very, lucky.
What you must understand is that Taffy has never left a genuine comment on this website in the history of ever, because they believe that being an asshole to everyone around them is a worthwhile substitute for humor. It is incredibly tiresome, yet unrelenting.
I can confirm this be one hundred percent accurate, no lies or deception here. Just purely unadulterated truth injected directly into your bloodstream while you were sleeping last night. (Btw you should restock your fridge.)
I’m not sure which comic you were reading, but in Shortpacked there were never any hints of romance between Carla, the CEO of Shortpacked Industries, and Joe, her loyal pastry chef. He was really more of an Alfred Pennyworth type figure.
Everyone keeps using that word when it doesn’t really apply. I don’t troll, I just occasionally say something that’s blatantly untrue in a completely harmless way. Nobody’s hurt.
I don’t often wear hats, especially since my hair got past my shoulders. The texture and volume of my hair, when properly cleaned and brushed, seems to magnetically repel headwear. I probably wouldn’t wear a white hat anyhow, for stain-related reasons.
And again, I don’t troll. At most, it’s sparkling sarcasm.
Yup, in It’s Walky!, Joe and his girlfriend Rachel give an old car a big upgrade in intelligence and combat capabilities to help with the final battle. Said car becomes increasingly more self-aware, sarcastic, and asexual as time goes on, even getting an humanoid body in Shortpacked. That’s Carla! She regards Joe and Rachel as her parents, and they their daughter, it’s very sweet.
Yes just like I said was also made up, I did not inject anything into anyone’s blood and steel their food so there is not to call the police because that did not happen. ,(You should still restock your fridge, preferably with some meat and cheeses. For not particular reason)
Wait the car becomes increasingly asexual as time goes on? I would assume that would be a default for an AI stuck in a car. Did they program their car to be horny? That would just be cruel. How would you even give a car sexual gratification? (That last question was rhetorical. Please, I beg you, do not answer it).
I’ve seen plenty of videos of women fucking the stick shift of their cars without sentience involved. Just simply add some sensors to that and make a number go up every so often while she does it, problem solved.
In the other continuity Joe (and Rachel) literally were responsible for making Ultra Car (or at least endowing her with sentience) and she effectively is his daughter
I’ve read that term a few times in another comic, but I’m still not entirely clear on what it is. The Wikipedia article says it’s any real occurrence that happens during a scripted match, but then it goes into a buncha terms I’m equally unfamiliar with, so I’m not sure if like, Stone Cold eating shit because he timed a grab badly counts or if it’s supposed to be something like Goldust just deciding to dive onto him from the rafters for attention.
I actually didn’t know what to believe at first. I kinda guessed Carla was maybe Joe’s daughter but considering Walky and Joyce apparently married and had a kid who wants to bang Dorothy who went to the future, I knew anything was possible. Your comment matches a few other replies that I guess Carla was Joe and Rachel’s kid? I kinda still don’t get it.
Joe made Ultra Car, an sentient futuristic car thing, that later in short packed gets a robot body and gat is how we get Carla (Carla is trans because Ultra Car was treated as male for most her existence and when she got a body it was a looking female one. She also got in a relationship with Malaya that for troubled because Carla wasn’t into sex nor did she have the anatomy to do it. They resolved that by just using her giant pie throwing gloves robot hand that come out of her chest as a sex toy).
Joe had a car, then some stuff happened in the comic I didn’t read so the car was sentient, and then the car wound up at the toy store and got a cute girl body and started fingering Malaya in public.
One of these days, maybe I’ll read It’s Walky! instead of reading Roomies! and then skipping directly to Shortpacked!. I’ve browsed it here and there, but never given it a full front-to-back, for whatever reason.
In the universe possibly taken over by Soggies, yes. But alas, here Rachel has barely spoken to Joe and not in a friendly manner. And Joe is no closer to being an engineer than I am to being Head Alien
Wow, lots of new material here, and I just read the entire run of Shortpacked! books. I guess I should be breathlessly awaiting the announcement of more books.
Age has never stopped me from claiming fictional characters as my children. 300 years old? Still my baby. Maybe Joe’s like that but for his actual classmates and peers /s
I love being able to search multiple characters. Joe and Carla appear in three strips together, and the only time they’re in the same panel only Joe’s arm is visible.
The title text and last panel make this for me. Goes from potential discussion of transphobia/genital preference in sexuality/etc to just a fucking hilarious gag. 10/10.
Also, I wonder if he genuinely didn’t put her on the list due to not knowing who the fuck she is, or if he did know, and just has since forgotten. Still, it’s interesting to get confirmation, since Carla elected to not look if she was on the list and we otherwise hadn’t really heard anything past that.
I assume Joe updated his list on the fly (seeing as how he wanted to add Rachel later on), so he presumably just never really crossed paths with Carla. Which makes sense since her room is at the end of the hall, and she’s a sophomore so they wouldn’t have had any classes in common.
But on the flip side, Carla also makes a point of ensuring people know who she is. Being outgoing and hogging all the attention is kind of her “thing” so I would honestly still be a little surprised if Joe had truly never encountered her.
It’s possible that Carla only really acts this way around women (and Booster). Joe is beneath her interest, so she doesn’t even need him to notice her.
Well shit that’s a hell of a mystery no one thought was a mystery and didn’t even really need solving but damn if it didn’t just get solved so nice work.
Could go either way. Carla on the list, Joe didn’t know her name, so she had a nickname. Or Carla not on the list, probably since Joe hadn’t met/noticed her.
I do have friends who are “like a younger sibling to me” despite them being older, lmao (I know this is a joke in reference to the other ‘verse but still)
David something. Here’s in the Dumbiverse as a youth pastor. He didn’t get to be a godlike being with abilities far beyond those of mortal men. He probably didn’t frak Linda either
I had to go back and look, and yes, Carla is aware Joe exists, but probably never made a fuzz for not being on the list because what the list was for and what it meant.
On the other hand, Joe genuinely does not seem to have ever seen Carla except for one time where she helped Joyce with her messed up fingernail and maybe he saw her through the corner of his eye, and by then Joe had other things in his mind.
iirc she said something like “I don’t know what would be worse, me being on there or me not being on there”. also Joe not recognizing Carla by name here honestly doesn’t mean all that much given that his do-list was full of nicknames anyway.
Joyce noticed Carla was the only girl not on his Do List and held that information in her brain, contextless, until yesterday(?) when she found out Carla’s trans and went “Is that why she wasn’t on the list?!”
…..oh yeah, Joe DID make ultra car in the walkyverse, nice little nod
Also it’s interesting that you forget that some of these people have genuinely never interacted with each other, like it’s crazy that Joe and Carla have genuinely not met each other.
Oh I see what you did there, Willis. The Walkyverse is subtly influencing the lives of its Dumbiverse equivalents! A prelude, perhaps to Head Alien II’s invasion of the Dumbiverse? BWA HA HA HA
Really Joe didn’t knew who is Carla?
She is so flamboyant, she makes everyone knows about her. And Joe had hit any girl in front of him.
What a excuse.
I know what you meant, but the image of Joe hitting every woman he sees is certainly something. The audience would probably take his current Good Boy™ behavior a lot differently.
I can’t really remember if the list took the personalities of the girls he interacted with into account or not. If not, then I think she’d do well. Though I’m a little biased since women wearing glasses is one of my weaknesses. If personality was accounted for? I think it’d be a pretty big hit to her score. Carla is insufferably obnoxious. Well, to me. This is all pretty subjective.
Loading ...
LMAO IM DEAD XD
Stop pranking us, Willis! We know what comic we’re reading.
“In which universe was this?!”
XD
Haha, busted by the soft retcon
High above them, in geosynchronous orbit over the campus, a RutTech satellite watching their conversation prepares the Meteoric Pie Launcher.
It misses by a lot because Carla forgot to recalibrate it due to being too gay for her girlfriend to function
Fortunately for the student body, I am pretty sure that satellites can’t get detailed enough photos to read lips. If I recall it has to deal with the problems of differences between the rotations of the Earth and satellite their orbits. The satellite cameras can’t adjust for the speed differences well enough to get a clear shot that detailed – the photo would end up all blurry.

Fool! Carla does not abide by such puny things like “Science” and ,”logic” she only answers to the Laws of Carla, which are as follow:
1. Carla can do whatever she wants.
2. Go fuck yourself.
Carla would still not have a spy satellite monitoring for conversations about her, because Carla already knows all conversations are implicitly about her!
Why use satellites when Rutech nanodrones are more efficient, targeted, and undetectable and are, in fact, watching over your shoulder right now to see what you’re up to on the Internet.
The age-old question: swarm of nanodrones, or gigadrone?
I didn’t know Carla did Galassospeak
yee, Carla’s an Engineering major who likely has a more than thorough physics understanding
a spy satellite in low earth orbit could only view a target like Indiana University for about 80 seconds, and will only be able to view it again once 24 hours have passed
A geostationary satellite can continuously keep focus on the same target, but have such a high orbit above the surface that they can’t resolve things smaller than 6 meters in diameter — good enough to spot tornados, not so much for reading lips XD
What do you mean with 24 hours here? The ISS for example completes an orbit every 90 minutes.
Yes, but after each orbit, a different part of the Earth has rotated into being “under” the satellite.
This! As anyone who’s played too much Kerbal Space Program knows, to keep a satellite in low orbit AND pointed at a specific spot on the ground, you either need to burn a lot of delta-V (not a long-term solution) or you need to have a constellation of satellites.
Which Carla/Ruttech undoubtedly has.
After 90 minutes, it’s gone around the globe, but it’s not over Indiana University. It’s going too fast to be synchronized like that, and it can’t slow down or else it’d crash. That’s what a Geosynchronous orbit is; when you’re at the right distance from Earth that you can go just the right velocity and be over the same places every day.
You’re still not “parked” in the sky, however, unless you’re in a Geostationary orbit, but that’s only possible over the equator.
That’s why in movies and such you hear them saying that satellite coverage will begin and end at certain times. Unless you’re spying on Ecuador, there’s no way to just park a satellite over places.
That’s just what they WANT you to think! 😛
Also, in one public comment, you posted the words “spy sattelite” and “government watch list”, you really think a little Google search is gonna matter after that? (I’m safe because I put them in quotation marks)

Eh, you might as well get yourself onto the government watch lists. You’re already on many corporate watch lists.
Why bother with satellite photos when half the student body has RutTech on their phones?
Only half?
Think of RuTech as the Apple of the Dumbiverse. Much better technology and software for way too much money.
Only half of the student body has RutTech on their phones, but the other half are usually within listening distance of those RutTech phones.
You can only have geosynchronous orbit over the Equator, and it’s too high up to resolve lips with anything that you could sensibly launch without the budget and/or technology of the Imperium of Man.
You might get lucky if you had something in the right point on its Molniya orbit that it happens to be close enough and pointed in the right direction, but you’d have to be very, very, lucky.
I’m not sure reading lips is even theoretically possible. Even from a lower orbit.
Atmospheric distortion is a big problem.
Imaging this with Ted Knight doing his Super Friends narration voice
Nanodrome swarm, yes. Geosynchronous satellite, no. Geosynchronous satellites can only ever be over the equator, on which Indiana is decidedly not.
(To be perfectly pedantic, a geosync satellite can SEE Indiana, it just cannot be directly overhead.)
Honestly fair
Carla off screen on the other side of campus having an undying urge to scream bottling up in her throat and she doesn’t know why.
PAPA!!!
This is going to end in a double date and Joe very confused as to why three ladies are yelling at him to fawn over Carla.
… who’s the other pair in this double date? Because I can see Becky doing that, but not Dina.
Carla and Charlie.
To be fair, ‘demanding adulation’ is Carla’s default state.
I just can’t picture Charlie yelling at…anybody. Like ever.
I’m sure this means something to people who read Shortpacked.
In that comic, Joe and Carla were basically the One True Pairing of the story. They hooked up early on and stayed together for the entire run.
Either you’ve mixed up Carla and Rachel or this is some excellent straight-faced trolling.
Who the fuck are you callin’ straight?
Sorry, gay-faced trolling.
Better?
Eh, close enough.
Straight faced as in not giggling
Joke’s on you, I was giggling like an absolute loon when I posted it.
They didn’t even hook up early on (it was basically endgame), so probably the latter.
No, Carla and Rachel never hooked up. They flirted a little bit during that one Christmas party, but nothing came of it.
What you must understand is that Taffy has never left a genuine comment on this website in the history of ever, because they believe that being an asshole to everyone around them is a worthwhile substitute for humor. It is incredibly tiresome, yet unrelenting.
So Taffy is basically Mike?
Mike wishes he were this hot, intelligent, and good at the guitar.
I also didn’t die before age 20, so that’s something in my favor.
I leave plenty of genuine comments, you must be refusing to notice them. Really no need to be insulting over a simple gag, stranger.
I legitimately mixed up Rachel and Other Rachel and got confused.
Rachel’s the tall one with no personality. Other Rachel’s the hot one with cool hair.
Being always angry doesn’t count as a personality?
Not one worth engaging with, anyway. Nobody wants to be around the person who’s constantly pissed off.
The latter option…
Tfw six people give the correct answer with slightly different wording but one person gives a wrong answer, knowing the other six will get it right: 🤯
I can confirm this be one hundred percent accurate, no lies or deception here. Just purely unadulterated truth injected directly into your bloodstream while you were sleeping last night. (Btw you should restock your fridge.)

Oh please, like Batman and Alfred weren’t fucking.
Trolling like this is pretty low. Not everybody will be slogging through the archives.
Everyone keeps using that word when it doesn’t really apply. I don’t troll, I just occasionally say something that’s blatantly untrue in a completely harmless way. Nobody’s hurt.
what, a white hat troll?
I don’t often wear hats, especially since my hair got past my shoulders. The texture and volume of my hair, when properly cleaned and brushed, seems to magnetically repel headwear. I probably wouldn’t wear a white hat anyhow, for stain-related reasons.

Yes just like I said was also made up, I did not inject anything into anyone’s blood and steel their food so there is not to call the police because that did not happen. ,(You should still restock your fridge, preferably with some meat and cheeses. For not particular reason)
So YOU’RE the one who drank all my sambuca soy protein shake!
Well, it’s actually Ultra-Car, who very much does not like the name “Carla”. (But it looks like Carla.)
Wait the car becomes increasingly asexual as time goes on? I would assume that would be a default for an AI stuck in a car. Did they program their car to be horny? That would just be cruel. How would you even give a car sexual gratification? (That last question was rhetorical. Please, I beg you, do not answer it).
I’ve seen plenty of videos of women fucking the stick shift of their cars without sentience involved. Just simply add some sensors to that and make a number go up every so often while she does it, problem solved.
I mean, have you SEEN Malaya and UltraCar in Shortpacked?!?! XD
To be fair that shit got surprisingly graphic for how off screen it was.
carla was actually for real joes robot daughter in shortpacked
In the other continuity Joe (and Rachel) literally were responsible for making Ultra Car (or at least endowing her with sentience) and she effectively is his daughter
What is this, some kinda comments section kayfabe meme?
Nope, that’s a shoot
I’ve read that term a few times in another comic, but I’m still not entirely clear on what it is. The Wikipedia article says it’s any real occurrence that happens during a scripted match, but then it goes into a buncha terms I’m equally unfamiliar with, so I’m not sure if like, Stone Cold eating shit because he timed a grab badly counts or if it’s supposed to be something like Goldust just deciding to dive onto him from the rafters for attention.
I wish I could block you Taffy. Life’s too short for shitposts.
You could try not reading my comments and choosing to be personally affected. 🤷
Oh? … OHHHHH. Now I feel better that she wasn’t on his gross list.
Good troll.
Joe and Rachel are Carla’s parents.
She’s older than Joe, the timeline just doesn’t work out.
Your mom just doesn’t work out! (Ignore this id your mother is actually ripped)
For a lady of a certain age, she actually is fairly jacked. If it weren’t for her metal leg, she’d be lifting more than me.
I actually didn’t know what to believe at first. I kinda guessed Carla was maybe Joe’s daughter but considering Walky and Joyce apparently married and had a kid who wants to bang Dorothy who went to the future, I knew anything was possible. Your comment matches a few other replies that I guess Carla was Joe and Rachel’s kid? I kinda still don’t get it.

She also got in a relationship with Malaya that for troubled because Carla wasn’t into sex nor did she have the anatomy to do it. They resolved that by just using her giant pie throwing gloves robot hand that come out of her chest as a sex toy).
Added item of interest: the first Ultra Car was Danny’s old car.
Poor Danny is truly the Rodney Dangerfield of the Two Willisverses, no respect
So Danny was the first one to be inside Carla, you’re sayin’?
Joe had a car, then some stuff happened in the comic I didn’t read so the car was sentient, and then the car wound up at the toy store and got a cute girl body and started fingering Malaya in public.
Eh. Close enough.
One of these days, maybe I’ll read It’s Walky! instead of reading Roomies! and then skipping directly to Shortpacked!. I’ve browsed it here and there, but never given it a full front-to-back, for whatever reason.
This is probably the grossest way you could say that but it horrifyingly works
What, “front-to-back”? I said that because it’s a comic, not whatever weird context you thought of.
In the universe possibly taken over by Soggies, yes. But alas, here Rachel has barely spoken to Joe and not in a friendly manner. And Joe is no closer to being an engineer than I am to being Head Alien
I believe this is the point where I insinuate the car is Amazi-Girl.
Wasn’t Ultra-Car a banned word back in the day because so many people kept saying Amazi-Girl was Ultra-Car?
Yes. I do believe the current poll is an homage to that
Actually, It’s Walky too. Or Joyce and Walky
Wow, lots of new material here, and I just read the entire run of Shortpacked! books. I guess I should be breathlessly awaiting the announcement of more books.
Age has never stopped me from claiming fictional characters as my children. 300 years old? Still my baby. Maybe Joe’s like that but for his actual classmates and peers /s
Carla would be insulted and offended at the notion someone doesn’t know who she is, we all should contemplate Carla at all times. Contemplate I said!
That’s what I was coming here to say. Joe not knowing “which one” Carla is cuts her to the quick far more than anything else.
*cue Carla showing up, splatting a pie into Joe’s face, and skating off into the distance.
Oh, Carla would be *so* upset to hear that!
I love being able to search multiple characters. Joe and Carla appear in three strips together, and the only time they’re in the same panel only Joe’s arm is visible.
The title text and last panel make this for me. Goes from potential discussion of transphobia/genital preference in sexuality/etc to just a fucking hilarious gag. 10/10.
Carla now knows that there’s someone who doesn’t even know she exists, and for that, vengeance will come.
Hope Carla didn’t throw away the “CARLA! <-" sign.
Oh god, Joe is going to get owned SO hard by Carla.
Carla is thrown by how much he looks like her dad, which is just Joe with a mustache.
With a long-lost brother who may have gone to medical school and recently remarried.
“Your mother is just Rachel with red hair!”
I didn’t know the Ruttens made an appearance, here or in the Patreon stuff
I think this is just speculation. Speculation that I am 100% in support of making canon, but…
On the other hand Charlie didn’t know Carla existed and look how that turned out.
I maintain Joe and Rachel are alternateverse parents of Carla.
Alternatively, they’re like Joyce’s Pharmacist and her wife, and eerily similar to them.
Give them a longer beard and say they’re Joe’s uncle.
This is fucking hilarious as a callback.
Also, I wonder if he genuinely didn’t put her on the list due to not knowing who the fuck she is, or if he did know, and just has since forgotten. Still, it’s interesting to get confirmation, since Carla elected to not look if she was on the list and we otherwise hadn’t really heard anything past that.
I assume Joe updated his list on the fly (seeing as how he wanted to add Rachel later on), so he presumably just never really crossed paths with Carla. Which makes sense since her room is at the end of the hall, and she’s a sophomore so they wouldn’t have had any classes in common.

It’s possible that Carla only really acts this way around women (and Booster). Joe is beneath her interest, so she doesn’t even need him to notice her.
I should probably read the Walkyverse comics before the apparent dimensional leaks in Joe’s brain make the two universes crash into each other.
Crisis on Infinite Walkyverses
Ooooooo I like that one!
“Don’t know what’d make me pissier– being on there or not being on there.”
…aaaaand that’s another of the unsolved DoA mysteries checked off the list.
Huh, my mind was so busy clocking the Dumbiverse call-back that it completely forgot to clock the Walkyverse continuity nod. I’m getting rusty.
That happens to older cars.
Well shit that’s a hell of a mystery no one thought was a mystery and didn’t even really need solving but damn if it didn’t just get solved so nice work.
It makes Mandy’s comment in that strip about “Well, all the women” a bit suspicious.
But who’s the suspicion aimed at? Joe, for not including Carla? Or Mandy, for potentially not counting Carla as “the women”?
Could go either way. Carla on the list, Joe didn’t know her name, so she had a nickname. Or Carla not on the list, probably since Joe hadn’t met/noticed her.
This is a very funny way to do this. A++
the myopic nepobaby, surely you’ve noticed her? she’d throw a fit otherwise
“My do list didn’t do names! I kept anonymity very clear.”
“You described having sex with the British Teacher’s Assistant that was a feisty redhead.”
“I wonder whatever happened to her.”
Joyce has memorized Joe’s Do List. She autistic or what? Or maybe just a pornographic memory?
Yes.
She’s good at memorizing long bodies of text, and recalling excerpts on the fly.
Got an eye patch, took over a secret organization of British ninjas, retired
The one who’s definitely not Spider-car
I do have friends who are “like a younger sibling to me” despite them being older, lmao (I know this is a joke in reference to the other ‘verse but still)
I do! I understood that reference!
the walkyverse is bleeding through
Oh my Cheese I love the callback!
Yours mom is the cheese! (Funnily enough I stopped reading it’s Walky around the end game so I really don’t know who the cheese was)
It was Walky all along.
David something. Here’s in the Dumbiverse as a youth pastor. He didn’t get to be a godlike being with abilities far beyond those of mortal men. He probably didn’t frak Linda either
I had to go back and look, and yes, Carla is aware Joe exists, but probably never made a fuzz for not being on the list because what the list was for and what it meant.
On the other hand, Joe genuinely does not seem to have ever seen Carla except for one time where she helped Joyce with her messed up fingernail and maybe he saw her through the corner of his eye, and by then Joe had other things in his mind.
iirc she said something like “I don’t know what would be worse, me being on there or me not being on there”. also Joe not recognizing Carla by name here honestly doesn’t mean all that much given that his do-list was full of nicknames anyway.
Wait, I remember Carla didn’t want to know if she was on the list or not, but she probably had no idea who Joe was either.
Joyce noticed Carla was the only girl not on his Do List and held that information in her brain, contextless, until yesterday(?) when she found out Carla’s trans and went “Is that why she wasn’t on the list?!”
(I think it was yesterday, I can’t remember.)
Autistic, can absolutely confirm.
Carla won’t like it if she finds out that someone wasn’t aware of that she’s Carla.
Joe forgot that she’s HER.
…..oh yeah, Joe DID make ultra car in the walkyverse, nice little nod
Also it’s interesting that you forget that some of these people have genuinely never interacted with each other, like it’s crazy that Joe and Carla have genuinely not met each other.
Carla’s gonna be upset to find out that Joe doesn’t know who she is. I’m pretty sure she thinks everyone on campus should know who she is, somehow.
I won’t accept anything lesser than Carla coding a robot to knock onbhis door. A robot like a Gundan…
And deliver a pie
I can hear Carla’s ego shattering from here.
She wasn’t on his DO list because he already did her.
Oh I see what you did there, Willis. The Walkyverse is subtly influencing the lives of its Dumbiverse equivalents! A prelude, perhaps to Head Alien II’s invasion of the Dumbiverse? BWA HA HA HA
I keep waiting.
“It’s kind of weird to randomly declare that Carla’s a rela… Oh. Ohhhhhh.“
Absolutely came to say. Then again, well-meaning bad advice was bad, too.
#WellPlayedWillis
Really Joe didn’t knew who is Carla?
She is so flamboyant, she makes everyone knows about her. And Joe had hit any girl in front of him.
What a excuse.
I know what you meant, but the image of Joe hitting every woman he sees is certainly something. The audience would probably take his current Good Boy™ behavior a lot differently.
Joyce must have studied that list pretty well.
What do ya suppose the grading metric would be if she got quizzed on it?
Joyce has long wondered what her own original score was, before she hurt Joe and he downgraded her to whatever her lower score was.
Found it: Zero-minus.
as a trans girl, I can sympathize, though Carla can get with anyone she wants. ~<3
I got that reference
I can’t really remember if the list took the personalities of the girls he interacted with into account or not. If not, then I think she’d do well. Though I’m a little biased since women wearing glasses is one of my weaknesses. If personality was accounted for? I think it’d be a pretty big hit to her score. Carla is insufferably obnoxious. Well, to me. This is all pretty subjective.
Joyce was the only one with a rating based on anything but looks.
Alternative panel 4:
“Carla?? She’s like a SISTER to me!”
“-I wouldn’t call her that. She got all touchy about it.”
Joe’s beard shadow has grown to cover his neck. And, even more disturbingly, his ears.
Oh, like you don’t have ear stubble. ‘Fess up, it’s like steel wool isn’t it.
Yeesh, shaving my ears is always the trickiest part of the day.
