OOOooOOOOooOOoooo intrigue! WHO IS IT, WHO IS THE TRAITOR
Last panel is definitely one of those comic book covers where they show like a dozen people and the text is all ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WILLL DIIIIEEE not a hoax not a dream not an imaginary story
Is it Becky MacIntyre, conspicuous NEW CHARACTER??? Is it Mrs. Brown, who’d betray anyone for a tiny grandchild? Is it Mike Warner, who’d honestly be up for it if it were funny enough? Is it Charles Walkerton, who’s seen better days? Is that even Billie back there? I don’t even know.

hahahah i just realized the tags. sneaky!
Has it been like that for a while or is it a retroactive retagging? I wasn’t paying close enough attention to know.
It’s definitely been like that for a while, I’ve noticed it in the past.
Sneaky indeed! I’m impressed.
And now we seem to have a much closer sense of when that particular event happens, unless I’m forgetting it was previously established in the time period between last appearance of Unsneaky Tag and first appearance of Sneaky Tag. (Trying not to actively spoil, but since the reveal’s tomorrow anyway, not going too far out of my way.)
Good catch! I’ve known this was coming since the Shortpacked! arc that goes with it aired, but it’s nice to finally see it play out.
Noticed it a while back that the tag didn’t go back as far as it should have, meaning it was time
I was gonna joke about Carol doing it for an opportunity to see ALL THE GRANDKIDS, ALL OF THEM, but the commentary beat me to it, so
I mean, anyone who’s read Shortpacked! knows who it is, but still.
(Also, were my guesses yesterday right? I don’t really wanna go to the effort of making a ginormous Tumblr post like I did back in April)
I’m honestly curious if anyone doesn’t know.
You can never be too careful with spoilers.

I’ve read Shorpacked!, but also don’t remember who it is. So, there’s that.
read Shortpacked back when it was still updating daily. Too long ago for me to remember but I think I know who it is… although I do not remember what exactly happened in the Shortpacked strips with that person.
I had to go back and re-read a few Shortpacked strips, because I forgot who the person was for a while.
“Is it Mike Warner, who’d honestly be up for it if it were funny enough?”
What I’m taking this to mean is that somewhere out in the infinite Walkyverse, there’s a universe where Mike is actually the traitor for exactly that reason.
Happened in Shortpacked
Yeah, but Head Alien (Original Recipe™) wasn’t behind the Axis of Something. Or was he???
How long till we see Angie in Dumbing of Age?
Well I got spoiled by the leaks so I know ahead of time that it’s Osiris, but it’s not like the hints were subtle.
Damn you Osiris!
Well it’s not really Osiris, but rather the Witch-Queen impersonating/possessing him, so it’s not really his fault.
It’s Danny.

Amber doesn’t know any of these people and doesn’t even live in the same state … IT’S DEFINITELY HER
It’s Billie! Those reporters are always blabbing EVERYTHING!
No really Head Alien is just straight up stealing homework from his alternate version self.
If it was an informant/scout, then it had to be someone who KNEW HAII, and was willing to work with him.
It’d have to be someone who didn’t want the wedding to happen, but also specifically would want Joyce available. Since the main plan from HAII would entail breaking Joyce and Walky up, by having Dorothy enter the picture.
Meaning they think Joyce is psycho, or want Joyce themselves.
Charles and Linda Walkerton don’t exactly fit the bill, plus Charles likely wouldn’t work with ANY HA after what they put his wife through.
The Browns are out, since they want grandchildren and they’re not going to break them up so close to the finish line.
I doubt it’s Amber/Mike, mostly because Amber doesn’t know these people well enough to act like a scout and Mike would have joined HA when the wall blew up to undercut his speech.
Billie/Jennifer had knowledge of Dorothy and was close to Walky, though I can’t imagine why she’d think they don’t work as a couple enough to work with HA.
New character Becky is… an okay scout, but she also doesn’t have much of a past with Joyce to act as an effective scout. What info would she even have?
Rachel likely wouldn’t have access to the necessary info, and I’m not sure what her motive would be.
Joe would know about Dorothy, but he’s in a committed relationship with Rachel.. I think. Still, out of everyone besides new character Becky, he’s my pick.
Potential problem, you’re assuming working with HAII was the informant’s choice.
Yeah, it’s more likely their job
Joe’s bowtie is certainly suspicious.
