Man, I love a crossover with a good mutual downer ending, don’t you? If something doesn’t end like The Empire Strikes Back and/or Spider-Man 3, then I don’t even know what we’re doing here.
(i mean, there’s still one more strip left from each of us, but you get the idea)
A quick plug: today (or an hour from now, if you’re reading this right as it updates) is a watershed moment at my current webcomic, Guilded Age, but for the spoiler-averse, that link will take you back to the start. Epic fantasy, metaphysics, economic inequality, and pretty much every cool concept we could throw into 49-going-on-50 chapters.And okay, one spoiler: if this story has whetted your appetite for some version of Shanna Cochran in high-pressure situations, then hoo-hoo-hoo-boy, do the later chapters have you covered.This is a good monologue, I’m proud I was a part of it. And it mostly speaks for itself.But for all the emphasis this story puts on Rikk and Ali’s problems and things they are leaving unsaid, at least they know what the core issue is between them and are struggling to fix it. Joyce and Walky are sitting on a time bomb and Joyce is just starting to hear the ticking.

As a guy who’s naturally kinda quiet, I hope I’m not unintentionally scaring lots of people.
Well, if that’s normal, I’m sure it’s fine
It’s just that Walky and Rikk are both normally NOT quiet, so…
Yeah now I get why people get worried when I don’t speak for a certain amount of time.
Well of course they should be scared.
Nobody plans a murder out loud.
Speak for yourself.
Having been in Pablo’s presence, I can confirm his vocal plans of murder are far more off-putting than his extended silences where he stares unblinkingly at whoever or whatever seems most likely to die next. I’ve clocked him at over an hour in both categories, and there’s nothing quite like a murder scheme that takes an hour to describe. I mean seriously, the Penguin didn’t deserve that!
This is one of the gut-wrenchier dailies in the series for Walky and Dorothy, and to have it double up for Rikk and Ali makes it that much more powerful.
Walky and Dorothy?
You missed the strip a while back where Joyce got mind-swapped with Dorothy, didn’t you?
Please tell me you’re joking, otherwise I’m gonna have to go on an archive binge and figure out what the hell you’re talking about.
They’re joking.
I’m doing my own crossover. Or simply made that mistake at 1am.
