Going back in time to tell my younger self “yeah okay I know you worried at times that your hair’s waviness corresponded to your disparate parents’ hairtypes depending on its length, but you can’t just copy/paste transpose that relatively benign anxiety to a fictional mixed race character without it picking up some potentially bad connotation shift.”

You just look like a new man.
Now let’s shave Sal’s hair.
Sal never cuts her hair. Maybe she has a latent abductee power and steel can’t cut it.

no I guess you wouldn’t be able to do much about the pandemic that started in November 2016
Walky doesn’t look too bad with his hair at this shorter length, but he doesn’t really look like Walky.
He looks like a real person instead of the dumbass he often portrays himself as.
Oh dang i caught up.

Welp time to binge ShortPacked!
Welcome to the Willisverses! There’s a lot to read here, and it grows by two comics a day (sorta). I assume you read DoA already?
Reading through this the first time I didn’t realize that Walky was black until this strip. Like I knew he wasn’t white, but seeing him with very familiar curly short hair talking about it really connected the dots for me.
