If Mike explains his presence with “You’ll see,” then something incredibly unpleasant is going to befall somebody. If the King of All Assholes makes an ominous comment like that you can bet your entire wallet that somebody’s gonna get screwed (be it metaphorically or literaly) very soon.
Reminds me of Monkey Island.
‘BEHOLD! SKULL ISLAND!’
*thunder*
‘It looks like a duck!’
‘Well, if you squint and turn your side to the side, ooooh, scaaary!’
‘If I turn my head to the side and squint it looks like a bunny.’
Agreed. This has me thinking that there won’t be much of a “relationship” between those two after all. Which sucks in my opinion, but at the same time, I’ve seen potential relationships killed-off for lesser reasons in the real world. It is stupid, but of course it really does happen.
Here’s hoping that they can work at it more before she breaks his heart.
The only way I can think of for a comic to have a laugh track would be to have the bottom of the panel filled with a speech bubble filled with laughter.
Somehow, I think Walky will reveal it surprisingly soon. There’s a few times in DoA that he’s had something happen sooner than we expected- Walky and Dorothy’s kiss, for one thing.
Dorothy is already ashamed of Walky, and Walky is seeing the signs of a controlling woman who wants to change him. I don’t think this is going to end well.
Given that we all know what Mike knows… I find it hard to believe so many of you are wondering what Mike is hanging around for.
Recipe for show:
Have 1 ounce of mystery fling made up of equal parts of:
1 partner who has an image to uphold/
1 Partner who doesn’t care what others think of him
Mix in crazy bongo who knows nothing and will try to put mystery fling together as if it isn’t
Toss in a handful of onlookers
It’s not exactly high fashion, that’s all. And from my observation it’s not really flattering to anyone’s figure, male or female. I imagine Dorothy wants the guy she just made out with to look like he’s trying a little harder. But well, she’s gonna either need to accept that Walky is Walky or this is going to end badly. Or fantastically, if you’re Mike looking on.
Considering the fact that Walky would be a rebound even if this doesn’t immediately kill things I don’t see this lasting forever. There’s also the fact that Dorothy is the first girl Walky’s ever been interested in and seems to like her on a very superficial level (He thinks she’s pretty and they like the same cartoon). I don’t feel like this ever had long term potential but given the way this comic works this brief/doomed flirtation could last the next 2 to 3 years…
I mean outside of the monkey cartoon they really seem to have almost nothing in common and Walky is so painfully immature and Dorothy’s probably to serious for someone as childlike as Walky. Opposites do occasionally attract but you need something to base a relationship on and physical attraction will only get you so far.
Maybe Dorothy likes Walky because he helps her loosen up and enjoy life? It’s not the shared cartoon itself, but that Walky’s still in touch with his youthful exuberance she seems to have forgotten in her ambition.
As for what Walky likes about Dorothy? I dunno, they like the same cartoon?
But seriously, maybe he likes someone who has direction and determination, like his sister. I don’t quite get Walky’s psychology.
Is it just me, or is DoA Joyce super judgmental? Of all the characters, I’d say she probably could benefit most from the alien-nappings! (No, I do not mean naps with aliens, that would probably be interesting and possibly fun.)
Actually, I think Joyce handled this pretty well. She appears more offended that Dorothy blew her off (which Joyce has every right to be,) and didn’t even mention the PHP. At least not yet.
They’re pseudo-agreeing during a somewhat awkward moment between two classmates in Women’s Studies. Who else did this? Walky and Dorothy while Joyce was calling Joe out on premarital hanky-panky.
One week since classes started, possibly with an extra day or two if we consider the “move in” time at the dorms. At least, that is what I *think* is the case if I have been following this correctly. I could be off.

Man, is Mike psychic now? I’m eagerly awaiting his future Mike-ness.
You should see him bend spoons.
He bends your mom for a nickel
and you dad for four cents. nobody knows why it’s cheaper.
and your dad for four cents. nobody knows why it’s cheaper.
Wow, I must have had a psychic flash! I read this comment and I was totally all, “I already read that… IN MY MIND!!”
Wait! Is Mike paying them? Or do “Mom” & “Dad” have to pay Mike?
With his penis.
your avatar ftw
Between the femurs.
Can we stop this meme in the FAAAAACE yet?
These meme’s are immune to criticism.
Really the memes are both immune to criticism and everything you don’t want them to beat the same time…
But we need meme-urs to LIVE!!
This…does not bode well. But I hope that I am wrong.
Au contraire I think things are going swimmingly!
THE MCNUGGETS GUY
C’mon, he can be Butt Taco Guy!
I read that as “Buttacoguy.” Like some hero out of fantasy.
For a moment there I read it as “Buttafuoco guy”
For a moment I read yours as “Butterfuckero guy”
For a moment there I read that as “Children of Snakes”
…
I think I’m very bad at telephone.
I must know what Mike has planned!
What ever it is, it can be expected the hilarity will ensue at expense other people!
Stick around long enough, I’m sure you’ll find out.
If Mike explains his presence with “You’ll see,” then something incredibly unpleasant is going to befall somebody. If the King of All Assholes makes an ominous comment like that you can bet your entire wallet that somebody’s gonna get screwed (be it metaphorically or literaly) very soon.
But if someone was screwed literally… wouldn’t that be a good thing? … I guess it could be a very, very bad thing.
Gotta keep plugging that merch for all its worth. 😀
and yet still no amber pillows, strange that.
Amber is not a substance that lends itself to making pillows.
I see what you did there.
Yeah — it’s much better for making dinosaurs and walking canes from.
Mike is planning something.
I love it when Mike is planning something.
“Oh God, I made out with this guy.”
She sure can pick them, that’s for certain.
Mcnuggets and Butt Tacos are the new leather jackets and motorcylces
Walky is already ‘wearing’ his McNuggets, all he needs now is to ride someone’s Butt-Taco.
Amazing… I can’t say anything but you get all the internets.
I have my moments.
^_^
Now I have your , Muahahaha!
(lets try that again)
Now I have your moments, Muahahaha!
All your moments are belong to us.
She’s getting better though. Even if Mr. Butt-Taco goes Full Walky, he’s still several times less shudderworthy than a mild case of Danny.
That shirt is bloody philosophical.
Makes me think – am I sitting on a butt? Or a taco?
… It’s crunching a bit, so I think it’s a taco.
Its far better then the duck or rabbit test!
Reminds me of Monkey Island.
‘BEHOLD! SKULL ISLAND!’
*thunder*
‘It looks like a duck!’
‘Well, if you squint and turn your side to the side, ooooh, scaaary!’
‘If I turn my head to the side and squint it looks like a bunny.’
Schrodinger’s butt taco.
More like M.C. Escher’s.
Is that a comment about the confusing dimensions of my bottom?
If so, kudos to you for guessing.
McNuggets guy hangs out with McLovin.
Because he’s always McLovin it.
You deserve a break today.
She was studying, Joyce. Studying for her oral exam!
Chemistry or biology?
Anatomy.
Gender studies.
Public Speaking.
Well, the first rule of public speaking IS to envision everybody naked…
Not a good idea if you are speaking to bunch of old guys… Lemon Party anyone? YEEK!!
That rule makes me nervous whenever I listen to an inexperienced public speaker.
Naked Walky would solve the Butt Taco shirt problem.
Your gravatar makes that so much better
Communications.
Journalism.
I can’t believe it took this long for someone to say Journalism.
Linguistics.
Cunning linguistics.
Mime.
Political science
Or…
“She was studying Joyce. Studying for her oral exam!” 😉
And the fanfic begins anew…. now!
Would that still count as Gender Studies?
Studying Joyce? I never thought Joyce was such an interesting subject.
And that… is why you fail.
Also, that is an excellent banner up top there. Is it new?
oh! durr, it changes upon refreshing. I forgot about that. Bed time.
She’s already embarrassed by Walky. Definitely a bad sign.
Who wouldn’t be in her place.
Oh jeez, you picked a doozy this week Mongoose.
The lesbian psychopath who claimed that she gets….erections looking at Orihime.
Sometimes it feels like Kubo half of the time writes his manga sober, and the rest of the time he’s completely on a bender.
lets just say that many of the female characters I find the most interesting are they types that I would do my best to avoid in the real world.
I’m sometimes embarassed by walky and we don’t even exist in the same plane of reality
Agreed. This has me thinking that there won’t be much of a “relationship” between those two after all. Which sucks in my opinion, but at the same time, I’ve seen potential relationships killed-off for lesser reasons in the real world. It is stupid, but of course it really does happen.
Here’s hoping that they can work at it more before she breaks his heart.
Why should they? It’ll only delay the inevitable. She’ll dump Walky when she ascends to the Ivy League anyway.
What will Mike do to Leslie? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT WILL MIKE DO TO LESLIE?!
Stay tuned next week, I guess.
Anything, for a nickel.
I can’t wait to find out why Mike’s there.
P.S. Awesome new banner (^_^)
I wonder if this will end up being about how a relationship can be ridiculed into oblivion.
The Rise and Fall of Dorothy & Walky.
Mike is going to snark at everything. Including the air.
Mr. Willis, have you thought about making the new banner into a bumper sticker or car decal? Because I would buy it.
Indignant Joyce is both hilarious and annoying.
Oh great. They’re doing the “Pretending we’re not dating to keep up appearances” thing. That always annoys me.
cue the social faux pas and the laugh track that finds normal sentences funny for some reason.
The only way I can think of for a comic to have a laugh track would be to have the bottom of the panel filled with a speech bubble filled with laughter.
Somehow, I think Walky will reveal it surprisingly soon. There’s a few times in DoA that he’s had something happen sooner than we expected- Walky and Dorothy’s kiss, for one thing.
I was hoping Mike was just there because he dropped books in Walky’s bag. Now I am worried he has photos he wants to show off.
Dorothy is already ashamed of Walky, and Walky is seeing the signs of a controlling woman who wants to change him. I don’t think this is going to end well.
I ‘dropped off’ a controlling woman last night. My only regret between the two of us is that I wasn’t wearing a butt-taco t-shirt while doing so.
“It’ll be dinner and a show” I wonder what Mike meant by that…
Me Too
I read the comment about Dorothy below, and then yours.
Hilarious.
walky saying that about his shirt……makes me want that shirt
dorothy is rethinking her sex life right now
Somethin’ tells me that Walky’s gonna come out of this much less chipper and with a bigger chip on his shoulder.
And then…go…eat chips…I dunno.
Wow, Willis is pushing that shirt harder than McDonalds pushed the McRib!
I’d buy one, but shipping down under is costly and there’s never anyone home to receive.
Any chance we’ll ever see the shirt available in a darker color? I’m thinking brown.
It’s a strong possibility, though Joel’s pushing me to do black.
I’m fascinated by the fact Joyce is so relieved by the fact Dorothy and Walky didn’t hook-up… I’m trying to figure out the specific reason for it.
It’s morality! She’s just relieved that they haven’t plunged headlong into a torrid pit of sin and lust, that’s all.
Oh, and also she’s totally waxing tsundere for Walky.
I figured Dorothy was actually the one that Joyce wanted for herself.
Of course she is.
This may be more complicated than I originally surmised.
That was one of my many theories. 🙂
She’s shipping Walky with Billie, that’s all. And for that reason Dorothy needs to go.
That makes a surprising amount
That makes a surprising amount of sense.
Given that we all know what Mike knows… I find it hard to believe so many of you are wondering what Mike is hanging around for.

And we have a show.
Add some fireworks for dramatic effect and you have a reality… gah! uses brain bleach on that thought.
“What’s the matter, Dorothy?
Could it be that you’re craving Walky’s…
…MCNUGGIES?”
oh my god just kill me now
Are you kidding? Horrible jokes like that are a gift. You are clearly a national treasure of the first order
I’m honestly more surprised that anyone got the joke than anything else.
I see into the Fuuuuuttttuuuuurrreee…
Mike’s their substitute teacher while Lesie is on a date with Robin.
Best gender studies class ever.
“Obviously men and women are equal. Otherwise I wouldn’t get to punch both of them in the face.”
Already looking forward to that.
*like*
although this type of event calls for emotional warfare, not physical.
Maybe I live in hicksville but…
What exactly is wrong with tying one’s hoodie around one’s waist?
Not sure about there, but my experience is that it is a girl and gay thing.
In my experience, it’s an I-wore-too-much-clothing-and-am-now-sweating thing.
It’s not exactly high fashion, that’s all. And from my observation it’s not really flattering to anyone’s figure, male or female. I imagine Dorothy wants the guy she just made out with to look like he’s trying a little harder. But well, she’s gonna either need to accept that Walky is Walky or this is going to end badly.

Well of course it’s a taco. A butt doesn’t smile.
“vertical smile”.
No, the vertical smile is a part of the anatomy that Walky does not have, but wants to get rally close to….
It should come with a stain…
I’m really curious about what happens next. What is Mike here for? He knows something is going to go down. I wish I had that ability.
Calling JoexJoyce now.
They’re pseudo-agreeing during a somewhat awkward moment between two classmates in Women’s Studies. Who else did this? Walky and Dorothy while Joyce was calling Joe out on premarital hanky-panky.
Coincidence? I think not! *eyetwitch*
They already went on a date. And Joyce punched Joe by proxy enough to scare him off. Unless he realizes he’s into that. Okay, you’re right.
Nah, Joyce x Mike is my new ship.
Every time I see that contest picture with Mike and Joyce… I think the same thing.
Love the double facepalm by Dorothy.
Don’t under-estimate Joyce & what she’s thinking about!! The super-rightious always have their secrets!! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1386777/JoyceHaze.jpg
Wha…? Where’d that come from? O_O
I’m pretty new to the comic.
Sometimes I put blank panels up on my Tumblr account for people to add their own dialog.
Wow, this sure shows what everybody thinks of Walky, huh. Some friends.
Real friends don’t let friends wear Butt-Taco t-shirts.
SO how many days have passed since the first comic? A week? Ten days? More?
In the DOA universe I mean.
One week since classes started, possibly with an extra day or two if we consider the “move in” time at the dorms. At least, that is what I *think* is the case if I have been following this correctly. I could be off.
Mikes going to play some video of them kissing or something, innit he
