Oh, right, this is when I start doing the Sunday strips at a vertical orientation rather than horizontal. Literally, I just draw on the page sideways from usual, but I think I manage to get more mileage out of the same space. The mentality here was, I think, a concession to the idea that this wasn’t ever going to be a newspaper strip, and so I stopped drawing the Sundays like newspaper strips and more like comic book pages.
And, yes, I will totally count that shoe as an appearance by Walky. Try and stop me.

Well, this strip is sort of the start for all of Beef’s beef, ain’t it?
I maintain that Beef’s heel turn was one of the best plot twists in It’s Walky!.
It’s a good thing that I can’t figure out whether you’re serious or not, because otherwise that would be a truly obnoxious spoiler.
Generally speaking, I advise you not to read the comments here, or on dumbingofage.com, if you want to avoid It’s Walky! spoilers. They’re posted all the time.
Instead, why don’t you start reading
Um let’s try that again: http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20020127.html
Uh… I can’t think of a joke. Something about controlling the horizontal and the vertical?
I like how Beef starts as a reasonably big dude and then just as quickly turns into a mountain who has to sit in the back of trucks and can hold people down with a single hand.
In panel 3, his *fingers* are thicker than Sal’s arm.
His forearm is roughly the same size as her entire body.
Maybe that’s one of his powers. He grows in size and strength during combat, but we never see the transition and he just switches between the two forms on a whim.
Alternately, maybe one of his powers is to shrink people, and we just never notice it because of perspective.
Why not have both of them. He grows in size and shrinks people at the same time.
Apparently the other shoe is gonna drop.
That’s not Beef, it’s Johnny Bravo.
Well, if you can count Bloodrose’s boot as an appearance…
Great now he has me thinking.
How would we stop Willis if he suddenly turns evil?
…. “turns”?
What exactly is the “surprise” here?
Daisy pointing a gun at Sal.
Daisy being on Beef’s side here regarding his family’s abandonment of him in favor of their long-lost blood member is… interesting to look at in light of certain later events.
