Nigel Thad Wongai?
Nigel T. Britja?
Nigel Planthebom.
He’s always known his true calling.
There are more types of harm than just physical ones, Walky.
oh no nigel please don’t plant the bomb oh jeez oh gosh oh dina why
Curses, hoist by my own heavy-handed-self-aware-tempting-of-fate petard!

“The Gang Does Something That Harms Walky”
God, Walky sounds like an angsty teenager. I mean, he’s right, but still 😛
Well, he kinda is.
We’re in, what, 2003 now? And Roomies started in 1997, so Joe and Joyce would have been 18 then, and Sal and Walky are a year younger, so he’d be… 23 or so now, I wanna say? Technically not a teenager at this point.
Stop treating me like a little kid…I don’t need your respect…
A person who feels the second sees no need to say the first.

“There was.”
Nigel had to get a job as a Britja, because the British Steel gig his parents had planned for him didn’t pan out.
And now we know how that song really played out.
At some points in the run of ,i>It’s Walky, you see signs that Willis was having real serious self-worth and self-identity issues that he was working through via his art. The level of anger and loathing in the writing is actually more than a little painful to experience.
Knowing his abilities from Shortpacked!, it’s pretty funny how Mike appears to have just been standing around glowering instead of doing anything. It fits with his personality, but it’s funny.
His abilities were eventually retconned before that, by this time he still was supposed to have human-level strength, as evidenced here: http://www.itswalky.com/comic/joyce-tells-me-youre-a-master-tactician/
Oh lord, I just pieced it all together. I’m going to have to have a long talk with Past Willis about agency and using women to prop up a man’s storyline, aren’t I?
I don’t think that’s fair. Dina’s storyline is Dina’s storyline; everything that happens serves her character arc first and foremost.
Nigel… Thornberry?
