This strip pairs pretty well with today’s Dumbing of Age, particularly the first panel. Why, there is a universe where there’s no Aliens and no Martians. Nothing potentially separates Joyce and Walky. They go to school together. And they’re… sort of, maybe friends? Charitably? Kinda jerkass siblings these days, if anything. This Walky’s right. Sometimes the person who makes you happy can be happy with somebody else.
Those wacky AUs proving your point!
The point will be proven even further when a certain someone finds out a secret with AU Walky that will possibly crush them.
I don’t really get why Walky’s saying that here, tbh. I get that it ties in with Sal’s arc but I don’t see what it has to do with the rest of his point
He’s going to die and chances are Joyce will be one of the few who won’t so he wants her to be ready to live on without him and not spend the rest of her life morning him…. at least that’s what I think.
“It’s (not) Walky (at the center of my previously egocentric universe)!”?
“Why are we still here Sal, just to suffer? Every night I can feel my leg and my arm, even my fingers…the body I’ve lost, the comrades I’ve lost…It won’t stop hurting, it’s like they’re all still there! You feel it too don’t you?”
So, uh, where is this all coming from? When did Walky supposedly have this vision of the future? Were we ever given any hint of it before he just started talking about it in the last few strips?
Possibly when they had their last encounter with the cheese and they had to save him by possibly messing with time and space. I think it wasn’t clear because Willis said he had to cut out certain panels for reasons.
Corn-popper in panel 4.
Clearly he is having a vision of Amazi-Girl 3.
Anna takes over when Lucy retired to write the 10th season of “Teen Titans Go!”
Wow! Very downbeat!
I think this song is kinda fitting for what Walky said in the last panel.
Oof. I remember this strip hitting me pretty hard at the time. “The person who makes you happy can be happy with somebody else.”
Shouldn’t there be a tag for an item in panel 5?
“Anna” wasn’t one of the names Joyce mentioned back in Roomies, so I’m assuming Walky picked that one out. I recall Willis mentioning somewhere that Ruth’s middle name was “Anne” in this continuity, so I’d like to think it’s a tribute to her.
