Walky goes from “Ah smushed your dad” to “smoochies!” in 10 seconds flat. Joe goes from “Yeah, I guess she’s cute” to “bravely run away” in almost as fast and Robin just sits there eating Cadbury Egg cereal.
So we learn that right after the strip before last, Joe rushed out the door and left it open long enough for Walky and Tony to finish their talk. That’s actually pretty funny to cut the scenes around!
Also, does Joyce have no problem with Walky randomly suggesting makeouts with Robin??
…I mean, technically, he’s BOTH their bosses, but Joyce is also kind of his appointed mental-health nurse, and oh, the other members of Walky’s team are his sister’s unstable ex and his chief romantic rival for his real girlfriend. Oh, for the days when Mike and Dina were on the team… oh, right. Even if we limit our focus entirely to relationships and skip the man-child/woman-child issue, Squad 128 is an HR nightmare.
I thought he was her de-facto appointed mental health nurse back in the day after the first mindwipe with the whole sound of music bit. Which doesn’t make it better.
..but HR nightmares aside, I think the bigger problem is not the relationships these people personally get into, but rather that SEMME is designed to institutionally take people who are too young (as well as being victims but given the premise of abductee powers that part can’t be helpd quite as easily) and making them fight a war without like, properly trained oversight/assistance. And the weirdly cheap way SEMME does everything with only a handful of non-abductee members in general. I’m much more inclined to blame the organization than the abductee team members, even when they make horrible screwups, because the abductees are the ones being put in a ridiculous situation while the organization could’ve been set up in a more sensible way.
Well, to be really fair, wasn’t SEMME basically designed by Willis when he was in fourth grade or something? It’s hard to blame him for poor organizational design.

Robin: But I ate all your nachitos while you blinked.
Robin, no! You don’t know where those nachitos have *been.*
He’s still recycling those??
“I gave you a handjob while you weren’t looking”
*Walky looks down and sees a jizz stain*

Another constant across multiple universes is Joe running away to avoid dealing with his feelings for Joyce.
Jesus, these people.

If that bowl had Cadbury Eggs in it Robin wouldn’t be visible to the naked eye.

Wow – when Robin says “hell no!” to your offer of makeouts, you have been dissed.
