I know a lawyer

I’m taking at least one noticeable shortcut this week of strips as I throw myself into Sundays Every Day. Minimal shadowing! Only white highlights. It’s definitely A Look, but it’s not one that would last. Pretty sure by the next time Infinite Sundays come around, I throw myself into the whole hog.
Dang, Bart’s got Joyce’s number. but seriously maybe you should bring a lawyer BEFORE you run into another lawyer’s office and start rantin’ at him, i dunno
Hi, Sarah! S’been a while!
Knowing a lawyer sure doesn’t go very far anymore, does it
You gotta actually HIRE them now?? What’s the world COMING to??
Judist!
Okay Willis I got to know.
At some point while past!you was writing this, did you realize you made the protagonists the baddies and the antagonist “good”?
What? Just because Joyce is a government-employed murderer who faced no consequences doesn’t make it ok for him to investigate. He’s plainly working for the bad guys. A total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!
How long has it actually been since Roomies!? Enough time presumably for Sarah to pass the bar, I guess.
Sarah should be in her second year of law school at this point.
So, does she see Joyce as the reason for her breakup with Joe, or something?
I’m not sure if Joe had feelings for Joyce when they were in college, before Joyce “left”.Also I’m pretty sure Sarah left Joe because of this http://www.itswalky.com/comic/hey-congratulations/
This is Sarah’s 100th appearence according to her tag! Good use of it, honestly.
Huh. Over the last two strips I was interpreting the highlights-only style as meant to convey it was night time. It looks good, though. Lets the lineart pop – this era was a nice blend of deliberate and scribbly.
One would have thought that government agency SEMME would be able to afford its own lawyers, and not have to rely on its employee’s ability to pull some old college strings.
You see there you guy go again, overestimating SEMME’s ability to be competent.
I’m still not sure if this whole thing constitutes as murder or not. Was Not-Joyce even legally a person?
Kind of my problem also.
There have been plenty of stories where the “Evil” clone appears, due to magic or technology and at the end of the story they are “murdered”.
It’s interesting at least, to see a story that tries to see it differently.
But I also think that this O’Ryan is simply full of it.
I think that debriefing Bart got his hands on was the only paper record of Anti-Joyce’s existence.
I’m almost positive there’s no law on the books that says it’s not murder if no one can find a birth certificate for the person you killed.
Anti-Joyce was a human being that Joyce killed in cold blood. There’s not much wiggle room there!
To be fair, Joyce definitely killed her in hot blood. I mean, it’s not much better, but it definitely wasn’t a premeditated act, it was one taken while in a distressed mental state.
I knew Sarah would have another appearance before the end of It’s Walky, but I forgot it was this soon.
Who exactly is Bart representing in this?
His own political ambitions. Like most politicians, he sees only footballs that can increase his personal power and doesn’t think beyond that.
This is the start of the story arc that made me despise Walkyverse!Sarah as the worst kind of petty opportunist who destroys things to make herself feel big and then weeps like a child when it blows up in her face.
