I think that means it’s time to wildly speculate about who that babysitter was in Dumbing of Age. I’m calling Spencer (Billie’s new RA), because like Knov I always bet on the long shot.
Aren’t RAs typically students themselves? I’d presume that Walky and Billie’s babysitter would be at least a good half-decade older than them (remember, the age difference between Ruth and Billie is greater in the Walkyverse than in the Dumbingverse).
it varies. My cousin-in-law was an RA while in grad school, that would put him at him a good six to seven years older than most of the freshman in his dorm and would be about right for a early to mid teens babysitter.
Okay,I recognize the need for some levity to break all the tension, but come one! Dina’s body hasn’t even been wiped up yet, and it’s already turning back into the Joyce-Walky show!
SPOILER: There isn’t actually any body to wipe up, because Dina’s actually fine. She just got blasted through space and time to a toy store in San Francisco some years from now, where she got a rad girlfriend and joined the resistance against a breakfast-themed supervillain.
Soggies may rule. But not if Dina has anything to say about it.
That’s what I had assumed until a couple of days ago, when Willis assured us in the comments that Dina did die in It’s Walky, and was dead for years, until the space/time hole somehow brought her back, Superboy Punch! style. Except that the hole gave us something good, and Superboy Punch! only gave us Jason Todd.

At least she’s not full of void crabs.
Walky’s fourth panel grin is really creepy.
Walky withe those hidden intentions again.
Yup, we’ve flashbacked to before Cerebus Syndrome struck.
Also, this is one of my favorite IW! strips ever.
…. that probably says something about how childish I am.
And here I thought girls just had cooties.
There’s a skeleton inside your body right now!!!
Unless you’re a girl. Then there’s lots and lots of little exoskeletons instead.
What if you’re nonbinary?
What if you’re non-octal?
Octopus.
Erwin Schrödinger had a skeleton inside him, but at the same time he didn’t.
This confirms a suspicion that I’ve harbored for quite some time.
I’d forgotten this as the origin for “Walky”. And for “Billie” as well.
I’m going to assume it’s true for DoA too.
Well, in Dumbing of Age, the “babysitter” isn’t Ruth. But otherwise, essentially yes.

It’s amazing how two kids (at least) are strapped to tables, but that’s not concerning me here.

I don’t think there’s anything left of Dina.
