We’re gonna save the world.

One of those pages with new material designed to highlight Walky’s dilemma. Â His major character flaw is a fear of responsibility. Â But, y’know, to ridiculous ends.
(man, “walkerton” sounds so off, i can’t even bring myself to call him that)
Wasn’t there a Codename: Kids Next Door episode about sentient ties?
I can’t cite the episode, but almost certainly.
I was just thinking about that.
There was also one about sentient beards.
I only remember the one with the underwear assassin. I can’t recall a tie one.
Yes there was, in fact, about ties controlling minds, starch, and a dramatic suicide. http://knd.wikia.com/wiki/Vin_Moosk
This comic isn’t propagating to the front page.
I was wondering where JOYCE BUTT went
… Walky’s head is a slightly terrifying place. But I echo his fears of adulthood.
Just, you know, with less coffee and ties and more “I don’t know how to do anything why are you expecting this of me”
I barely have the skills I need to survive being an adult. I am absolutely terrified of being on my own.
I like coffee when I’m working…it gets the heart started in the a.m.
Ties, not so much. Didn’t they think they were a ward against vampires in middle ages or something.
The story, as I remember it, is that it started with bibs, which evolved to cravats, and then to neckties.
I use the half-windsor knot because it slides, and is therefore adjustable. But ties haven’t been part of my office’s dress code for a few years now, so all I remember of how to tie that knot is a vague set of directions: “Right up left up down.”
It’s like a video game code. “FINISH HIM!” *Right up left up down* “FORMALITY.”
Man, I want to wear ties more often now (I gave mine away, because they were worn out and I never used them anyway)
Walky: baby baby you can have me any time you want me but can we take about it over breakfast.
Trying to think of a tie joke for this that isn’t a pun.
Can you knot?
But what about Bowties? Bowties are cool.
We already have Jason filling in that quota.
No, no they are not.
Walky is pretty much me here (except for the ties, I like wearing ties with some fancy clothes from time to time, especially when I’m in better shape then I am now).
Also, Joyce butt.
The windsor nazi line is coming up!
On the RARE occassion when I’m expected to wear a tie, I wear a velcro breakaway windsor-knot necktie.
I have a zipper tie. It is the BEST.
This version of Joyce has a *lot* of confidence & surprisingly little anxiety for someone who doesn’t know anything about her past before a few months ago. Also, she’s coming on to Walky pretty strong. The sexual tension is palpable. 😀
Its been years since I read It’s Walky! but this was always one of those pages that really stuck out in my memory whenever I thought about the comic again.
I love it so much
This page did not exist when I read It’s Walky! … I’m gonna be saying that a lot during Year Zero.
I can’t not read “We’re gonna save the world” without hearing Austin St John and Go Go Power Rangers playing.
This is how my mind works.
This and the next page have always been some of my favorites, and it’s nice to see from the comments that this is true for a lot of folks.
This may be my favourite page.
I feel like I’ve seen this episode of Kids Next Door before…
It’s interesting how there are two distinct voices going on here, with the boxes very intentionally leading the surface Walky to a specific conclusion.
[SPOILERS]
Are the boxes maybe a subconscious part of Walky that remembers everything talking to him, like the voice thingy with Cloud in FF7?
