In the M&M Its Walky game I ran (the one where my wife played post-mindwipe Joyce as a happy polyamorous bisexual girl who fell in love with Jason because he was “such a romantic”), it was Joyce who began to get future flashes – and who, in the end, had to take up Walky’s role in things (I am being intentionally vague to avoid spoilers for first time readers).
As such, I fully support this theory.
Okay this may sound like an insane thought… but wouldn’t it be kind of cool if Willis redrew the final arc of Walky as a way to end-cap it alongside the redrawn first arc?
I’ve read this story arc before, but it’s been a long time since then because I completely forgot that Walky got 4th wall breaking powers in this strip.
I really missed this whole thing the first time I read through the story. Having actually read through it, I’m having the opposite problem by actually not understanding how anyone actually seriously considered the red herring without open lampshading.
I’m reading the rerun for the first time and the only reason “who is The Cheese” was at all on my radar before Walky approached Joe is because the commentary keeps referring to setting up the misdirection.
Love it whenever the two comic universes unintentionally synchronize. Today we have Walky’s blonde love interests displaying misplaced sympathy towards him when he’s really got another girl on his mind.

So the impression I’ve reached during the rerun is that both SEMME and the Aliens have had three to four times as many encounters with the Cheese as have actually been shown, a good number of them before he was ever mentioned in the strip, and that we the readers are simply never made privy to anywhere near the amount of information that the characters are working with, and Early Willis expects us to understand what’s going on anyway.

Gwalkypool.
super strong and resilient and absolutely bonkers girl assassin who likes to eat nachitos?
He-She-Non-Hulk.
Gwenpool is blonde, blue-eyed, perky, doesn’t respect personal space, and has a suspiciously triangular grin.
Are you sure the right person got the 4th wall powers here?
Huh. Since you mentioned it…

Arg – that was supposed to be a reply to Doctor_Who’s comment about Joyce and Gwenpool being suspiciously similar.

+1
Agreed.
YES.
Did we skip a comic between this and yesterday’s? The first panel here doesn’t seem to follow the last one.
I remember a lot of that in the end arc. It felt like FAANS.

Oh, she’s in it, too.

Nope. Those powers got retconned a couple weeks back.

This was supposed to be a reply to BenRG with the same Dina Gravatar above.
What’s the oversized comedy prop??
Furry-Danny’s giant bone, barely seen from behind Girl Walky in the first panel.
Oh, I should’ve realized that given the word balloon. Makes sense.
