Some girl brought you in

Yeah, here’s Walky laying down way more exposition than originally. We only saw him remember Joyce’s hug, and none of the rest of this page was a thing. But since this version of the story was meant to be more stand-alone, I flashbacked to stuff like Sal bringing her in, and Joyce being rehabilitated. Joyce is definitely more down on the experience in these pages — in the original, she wonders idly what her life was like before and then shrugs and says “OH WELL THIS LIFE IS GREAT ANYWAY” and wanders off with a huge grin. Walky’s more interested in her past than she is.

Big Boss?
I didn’t know that Joyce was part of MSF.
Nor indeed that the attack on Motherbase was less fatal than I thought.
Teaching her potty training was the worst part. Walky had to clean up a lot of newspapers.
*shoots the wall around Joyce*
“Bad girl. This is where you potty.”

Pretty much gets the same ideas across. Better text, clearer panels though.
Willis I’m not accusing here just asking, were you playing an ass load of Metal Gear when you thought of the name Big boss.
METAL GEAR?!
There’s also a Big Boss in the 1988 cartoon show COPS.
I remember that show. He talked like Edward G. Robinson. Nyeah, see?
Yeppers. You say Big Boss that’s who I think about. Myaah, see.
Goshdang it now I’ll never be able to play a metal gear game without remembering that.
-Covers up Sal’s long hair-
Huh…
“Huggly cuddly Walky-Talky man!”
That is one of my favorite Joyce lines ever.
Ah yes, “some girl…” “Some girl” who happens to look a lot like Walky… Gosh, if you didn’t know any better, you might think they’re related…
Quiet you!
I’m actually willing to give Walky a pass on that. When you consider that Sal must be a fraternal twin and not an identical one (barring genetic hijinks), and that even identical twins’ faces have some differences to them, and that Sal has long hair, and that she probably wouldn’t stay around for long enough for Walky to closely examine her face, I can easily believe that he’d just write her off as somebody who looks kinda like him.
so walky is a twin with some one else in this continuity and not sal wonder what inspired the change in The Dummyverse.
this means walky is a tripplet while his brother and sister are only twins
… Must… not… speak…
“Some girl”
Walky, that’s no way to talk about… oh, right, that’s a secret in this continuity, isn’t it? Man, since I started with DoA, that is just so weird to me. I wonder how far along that big reveal is…
