Used to be a college student

You could use this very interaction as a reason Dina doesn’t talk to people. She tried it, was met with rude indifference and remembers tat every future time she tries.
It’s sorta how I started hated using phones, a couple bad experiences can lead to anxiety down the line.
It’s the same with pets, if the first time they travel in a car, it’s to the vets where they end up getting neutered, chances are, they will not choose to travel by car again.
I’m not sure Alex counts as a person. He’s a lab fixture she can talk at.
It was the abduction that made her talkative.
Maybe it’s her superpower.
Turns out, it’s really easy to talk to people when their back is to you, and they aren’t paying you any attention. >_> I may know this from personal experience.
“I used to be a college student. I still am, but I used to, too.”
Dina of the future doesn’t need to talk to people. Looks like it’s true here, Alex isn’t really a ‘person’, he’s a sort of computer software extension.
I like Dina’s fourth wall breaking glare at the world at large in the last panel.
I feel a little sad, since this is just the start of a sad downward spiral of Dina’s life.
Well, she does come back at the end of shortpacked, so there is still a chance for a happy ending.
On the other hand, Soggies may rule.
You’ve got me there, but wasn’t the book-exclusive story in Roomies Book 2 set after shortpacked’s ending void of soggies?
DAB.
DAB DAB.
DABDABDABDABDABDAB….
Now I’m wondering if the fabled “Final ending to Joyce and Walky!” takes place after those events or not. Hmm…
Before. It’s set in 2010.
“Ability to make understandable jokes instead of being bewildered by all human interaction” also didn’t make the cut.
She made a joke? Is it a pay-leontology pun?
Well, alternate universe-Dina has been known to occasionally blurt out complicated personal matters to someone she trusts (Amber, in that occasion), so maybe it’s just been a while and she trusts Alex more than, say, Professor Doc or whoever else she spends much time around?
Not that it’s even possible to keep a secret from your sysop anyway.
SEMME pays?
Also, I know that feel, Alex.
Wait, I’m caught up? Holy crap, I’m caught up. Do I find the original archive and continue or keep going with this?
As long as you want to, I see no reason to not head on over to joyceandwalky.com and continue on with the comic.
As far as I know, most people here have long since read the whole thing. Really, it’s the comments from both creator and comrade that makes this site.
Oh and we make plenty of call-forwards down here so
I’ve found plenty of Mr. Willis’s comments amusing and give a ton of interesting context.
Besides, Wack’d is a friend of mine so I like to see what he says on a few of these pages.
I used to be a College student like you. But than I took an alien anal probe to the knee.
This Dina seems very… un-Dina-like.
