Gimme a smooch!
on April 12, 2020 at 12:01 amChapter: Gift of the Walki
Characters: David Walkerton, Joyce Brown
Location: Joyce and Walky's apartment
This Saturday freebie strip must go here because of the condition of Walky’s hair. Not the smoothest narrative transition, but *shrug*. S’what happens when you try to intertwine two separate feeds!
Wait, she didn’t recognize Walky’s voice?
Honestly? I might not’ve. Like, my husband’s phone-answering voice* is completely different, as well as his “irreverent goof” voice.
*literally, when he answers the phone in a professional setting, which is weird because as he talks to the person on the other end and gets farther from the “hello”, it changes back to his normal tone
trimming wigs is a pain tho, f’real
*has totally not ruined at least three, nossiree*
This is just one more fascinatingly-topical-in-hindsight strip, in this case for everyone who hasn’t had their hair cut in way too many weeks.
It’s happening in a lot of comics that are being revisited.
DoA!Joyce would be… amused of this
Wasn’t Walky’s hair less cross-hatched?
It’s slowing growing back. IIRC, these comics were originally published a week apart.
This has a “Walky wearing a hairnet to put in a wig for a stage role” vibe to it.
Honestly, I like the idea that Walky in a wig sat down next to Joyce, Joyce asked him why he was still here, he said (in faux Sal voice) “Ah live here.” and then he said “Gimme a Smooch!”
Like, that actually flows really well, you just have to commit to the idea that it was WigWalky in the previous strip.
There was a reason both Walkerton’s were tagged.
In the preceding strip, David and Sal were listed as characters, BUT JOYCE was not.
I am so confused. Plus, in the preceding strip, Sal’s hair was a lot longer than Walky’s wig seems to be.
Obviously Walky had the Sal wig, Sal had an elaborate Joyce disguise on.
No wonder she didn’t want to be kissed.
LMAO this is basically what I just posted on the previous page (before reading this one), that Sal is actually Walky wearing seaweed. Bit of a shock when I loaded this page and saw that I wasn’t right, but, sorta was?
ish.
The one problem is that it wouldn’t explain what happened to the bust padding between the previous strip and this one.
Maybe they fell out when he tried to smooch Joyce?
Why does Walky have a wig that looks just like Sal’s hair?
I just got a haircut! My first in AGES. Now I’m rocking a cute shoulder length thing.
Just felt like sharing. Also haircuts seemed on-topic.
