I uncensored a swear. I can’t remember if I did this unprompted or if, like, the IRC channel suggested it, but Daisy gets to say “fuckin'” without it being obscured with a scribble, as is usually the way things go in It’s Walky!. The idea was that Daisy deserves this swear. They made her kill her friends. She’s owed being heard in full.

SHE BROKE THE CENSORSCRIBBLE
SERIOUS SHIT
Immediately following it up with an ‘F you’ also fits with the one F-bomb per PG13 movie rule.
I like to think she’s trying to say fuck again but still so overwhelmed by everything she can’t get it out, and that ‘you’ is a new clause.
Of course you don’t use Guns much, Sal. She’s dead. So unless you’re into some really freaky shit…
I wonder how long it’ll be before the next uncensored f-bomb in It’s Walky.
I forget, but they really do have more impact this way
Fun fact: “Biff” is Swedish for “beef”
Daisy, I do think he’s running out of brain for you to blow out at this point!
I’m mildly surprised that, with the strength Sal has available, she didn’t literally knock Penny’s head off, or at least fracture her skull.
I feel like BIFF is a very lighthearted sound for a headshot.
It’s still censored in the Joyce and Walky archive: http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20040628.html
I went back because I wanted to see when this happened. Around the same time, Damonk’s “Framed!” broke the profanity wall, and I remember being actually dumbstruck by that. This was when webcomics started to get “real.” As in, not real because this is still a drawing, but darker and moodier and trying to emotionally connect on a deeper level with a typically jaded audience. So yeah, the fuck-word fits into the new expectations of the genre.
One of these days DoA Joyce will drop the F Bomb, and whatever horrible things immediately precipitate it will not have been worth it.
Additional thought: Not counting retcons, Grace and Mandy were the first lesbian couple in the Walkyverse, and Daisy was the first lesbian character period. Even beyond the fact that she personally was brainwashed into killing them, their deaths probably hit especially hard for her.
