Kidney bean
on October 6, 2021 at 12:01 amAn actual sonogram of one of our kids! Maggie had run off to get her first ultrasound while I wasn’t available, and when she got back she was like “hey look it’s our kid” and I’m like WOO and then she pulls out a second image and says “hey look it’s our… uh, OTHER kid” and I was like…
“yeah okay that makes sense”
I mean, I’ve written about twins my entire life. It made sense.
I just wish I’d given Joyce and Walky some twins, or at least not shown them appearing at Mike and Amber’s wedding with just the one child. I coulda fudged it otherwise. But nope, I’d have to write about Joyce and Walky having one (1) child in this comic strip.
I’m gonna tag Machete in this one, ‘cuz he’s literally right there.
Well you did have Walky talking about 2 kids in a previous comic (Bobby and Anna)
that was the names chosen
Could’ve sneakily added another kid into those shortpacked strips and pretended they were there the whole time
Unfortunately, there’s one other story it would’ve been impossible to do that with.
one of your initial comments somewhere else about the thing where sometimes one twin absorbs the other hit a bit close to home (family history) so that worried me about having kids
luckily if I have even one I’ll probably die, so that’s not an issue!
😬
Ooh, sympathy. Health issues like that suck.
The question is:
Which kid is Machete based on?
The Machete stories were written way before Willis had the twins.
You’re not thinking 4th-dimensionally.
They can always have a second kid later I suppose. I can’t remember if Joyce and Walky ever appeared with more than the one kid in Shortpacked though.
Bobby wasn’t at the DeSanto wedding, so theoretically, a second Walkerton could exist by then per Shortpacked.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the It’s Pregnancy strips couldn’t be a 1:1 to their actual pregnancy, because said pregnancy involved twins.
…Or, you know, like human kidneys. That’s kind of off-putting by itself.
