I like the idea that Joyce is genuinely uncertain whether she tied Walky’s shoelaces together. She’s all, “Did I tie your shoelaces together? I don’t remember doing it, but it’s definitely something I’d do. It’s on my list of urges I’ve been repressing to be a ‘good girl’, right there below having Joe screw my brains out on a public sidewalk in the rain. Oh, shit, am I having memory gaps? They told me that if I started experiencing new lost memories, I should go see Professor Doc immediately. … Oh, whew, it was Mike. Wait, Mike being a relief is possibly more concerning than my memory falling apart from too many mindwipes…”
Walky practicing his Howard the Duck swears
No, that’d be WAAAAAUGH! Without the U it’s a Space Ork thing.
I always thought this was the best strip of this sequence XD
I’m assuming Walky just happened to run into Mike on the way to Joyce, because Walky should know better than to seek out help from Mike.
It’s Walky we are talking about, he doesn’t always put much thought in his choices.
Mike’s asshole-sense was tingling, leading him to Walky.
My asshole-sense usually only tingles after I eat a lot of spicy food.
I was expecting his response to be something like “Glub, glub, gurgle”, being face down in a puddle.
This is still one of my favorite strips
Most strips with WAAAAGH are gold.
Some are orc.
Worky.
Orkz is made for fightin’ an’ winnin’, crushin’ an’ killin’!
There should have been a splash. THAT would’ve been satisfying.
It does bring comic relief.

I almost wish this joke fell flat just so I could make the pun, but it’s seriously hilarious.
