End up resentful

Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment, Ruth's high school
I mean, to be fair, it was because you were abducted repeatedly by aliens and subsequently your own government to fight them, but *weakly shrugs*
Loading ...
And Joyce is the one to decide that they need to look her up???
I mean, I dunno. I’ve never read the current run of strips.
Ah so this is where early DoA Danny comes from
+1
I see early DoA Dorothy as a mashup of this Dorothy not wanting Walky to follow her and end up being resentful, combined with Sal breaking up with Danny at the beginning of Roomies! to work for the government (which has technically always been Dorothy’s end goal in DoA, albeit in a very different way).
Did Dorothy assume they’d both go to the same college after high school? Even if Walky hadn’t been abducted by aliens and ended up in SEMMF, there are a lot of colleges to choose from. I know they go to the same college in DoA, but in this universe they might have picked entirely different colleges if Walky had gone to college.
He can thank Ha for that, if he didn’t go after Walky and Beef Semme wouldn’t have “recruited” them.
Hey, it could be worse. He could have followed her to college and gotten dumped on day one.
Apparently this Dorothy made things clearer than DoA Dorothy did.
Or somehow this Walky is more perceptive than pre-hat DoA Danny.
My dog was more perceptive than DoA Danny, and she would eat her own vomit.
Joyce looking positively Rumiko Takahashi-y in that last panel.
Let’s see. Abilities beyond a normal human, wacky sex comedy shenanigans, changes gender.
Checks out.
I had not realized until this strip how much of a what-could-of-been DoA is for these two.
So in the NoWalkyverse, was the main change that he went to college?
And now I’m wondering what would have happened if Dorothy was an abductee and replaced Joyce as Walky’s “first love”.
Well, that and not being abducted by aliens and given super-powers. Or Switched at birth.
