Thank Cheese she’s waking up
on November 14, 2021 at 1:01 amChapter: Leslie NOPEs!
Characters: Amber O'Malley, Joe Rosenthal, Joyce Brown, Leslie Bean, Mike Warner, Robin DeSanto, Ultra Car
Location: Denver Shortpacked!
Look, it’s yet another Danny Wakes Up In The Hospital After Killing Ruth 4-head silhouette homage! That’s how you know we’re leaving Shortpacked! space and entering its neighboring Roomies!/It’s Walky! space. That and Joyce is here. I guess she just hangs out in the Denver Shortpacked! branch, why not.
And obviously Walky isn’t also here because, you know, they have a child and you can’t just leave one of those at home alone when they’re like two. Meanwhile, Amber and Mike clearly have daycare for Donna, I guess.
Loading ...
wait huh, why IS Joyce here
…
oh yeah Bobby/Machete, I guess she’s getting a toy time portal or something
Could also just be visiting, since she’s friends with all these people and Robin just got into town.
I guess Leslie was one of the lucky 24%
[I understood that reference dot gif]
Though wouldn’t the trunk space of a hatchback be pressurized and climate-controlled, more like the cabin than the engine compartment?
I was thinking the same thing. In the previous comic you can see her head sticking up above the back seats so it’s not like the rear storage is separated from the rest of the cabin.
I love that Joyce is literally just here for the sake of a visual gag referencing a comic nearly fifteen years before this one.
There was one other reference to it in an earlier Shortpacked! strip.
And <a href= "https://www.itswalky.com/comic/hey-there/"this Joyce and Walky! strip is kinda similar to it too, even if there are only two people in it.
Damn it, I couldn’t get through that comment about needing to watch babies without thinking of 9CL.
That’s the one about legs right?
And sleep paralysis demons.
Also occasionally homophobia and Nazis.
And don’t forget public sex.
And apparently aliens only we’re being cagey about whether or not Thorax is an alien, maybe he’s just like ninety years old (and was assigned to seduce a Nazi collaborator and give her fake information by the British military but has failed spectacularly on every front.)
I’m kinda glad I don’t regularly read 9CL, because it sounds like it’s getting dumber as it goes on.
I still hang around for a glimpse of the (ever more rare) playing with the 4-panel comic space structure.
What, is the leopard on vacation?
Even leopards need weekends.
Amber makes that sweet sweet toy store manager money.
Or Walky’s babysitting both kids.
Did we ever establish what jobs Walky and Joyce got? I’ve completely forgotten.
I think they were studying to be teachers?
Heh – “thank cheese” – sounds like they brought Leslie ’round by waving a slice of (the old, old, classic,) Limburger undernose.
