That’s impossible!
on December 8, 2016 at 12:01 amBuried within this tale of alleged sexual maturity is an author who didn’t want his main characters to fuck anybody else before they got together and fucked, because even though he had grown as a person tremendously in recent years, there was still a strong enough part of him that told him that fucking other people who you don’t marry kind of ruins things somehow, even though if you’d asked him about this at the time, he’d have claimed to disagree. So, you know. Consider that context when you read Walky’s series of convenient denials here.
also jason’s hand in the third panel looks like his schlong hangin’ out of his fly

I had characters like that, then I realized THAT’S STUPID and went and shacked one up with a literal whore
though I suppose the skeptic in me is wondering how Jason is taking Walky’s virginity declaration at face value so easily, especially since Walky hasn’t been Walky lately
Eh, Walky has faults but he’s not really a liar. If you ask him seriously and he answers seriously, it’s probably the truth.
you don’t have to KNOWINGLY lie to be dishonest… I’m sure Walky truly believes eating 100 servings of Nachitos is a fine diet
(hides bag of Cool Ranch Doritos™)
What? I think it’s a great diet! (keels over)
wanted to come back and say I retract my skepticism only insofar as I wouldn’t doubt Walky is telling the truth, but only after some reflection upon the fact that “nobody admits to being a virgin and therefore anyone who says they are is doing it for attention” is a stupid belief, so really I’m commenting on how quick Jason is to sidestep that fallacy compared to me
I feel like Dina and Walky have defined “sex” as something that can only happen with your clothes off. Which covers it for a lot of people, but horny late-teens/early-twentysomethings who rub their bodies together persistently enough can get the job done for each other without having to take off a thing, especially if they only do so occasionally.
This probably didn’t align with David’s intent at the time and I sure took Walky’s statement at face value back in ’02. But this explanation answers the questions Jason touches on, questions that I otherwise can’t explain.
Good job Walky, you made Jason’s eyebrow try to escape his face!
wait a sec, Jason is a man who dresses nicely but kinda dumb, with a big red bow tie, and can be quick to anger, but non-less remains faithful to his friends, and can be badass in his own right.
Who else shares those traits?
Donald Duck.
Well, Donald has this weird speech impediment that makes him nigh-incomprehensible, and Jason’s a Brit, so yeah, I’m with you.
*flees from the Brits*
So Disney took the Brits as inspiration for Donald’s traits.
At least Jason wears pants.
BAKANA
Not all acts of maturity are equable to other acts of maturity, walky.
What does “shower sounds” refer to, again?
Nevermind, found it

I want to know about the time with the mug. Or were they IN the mug?
Well, a certain person who can turn a table-tennis table into a hoverboard is around, so how long can it be until Joe’s able to turn the mug into a functional vehicle?
Or a Transformer. Whichever comes first.
That time with the mug: http://www.itswalky.com/comic/walkerton-settle-down/
I too did not remember about the shower sounds or the time with the mug, and like most things involving Walky, I’m not sure whether I’m glad to be reminded.
Oh god. Oh god.

Ugh, hit me too close. Even as I rebelled against my fundie baptist teachings, I was a right holier than thou ass in high school. So much better than everyone around me because I didn’t care about what God thought, so much better because I was “waiting for the right time but it’s totally not abstinence” instead of disrespecting my body like all the s**** and manwh**** around me shacking up with anybody.
My high school years were fun for no one.
I used my fundie faith to hide the fact that I was not sexually attracted to women. Worked well in high school and most of West Point but delayed my coming out until I got kicked out of the Army for being gay.
I dunno… why there’s no point shaming promiscuity, I think there’s no point shaming the opposite? Real people with genuine intentions holds such beliefs and not always for religious convictions. And even if it’s for religious convictions, what’s the problem? What’s so bad about having characters that think like that? I, for one, in a world overrun with the “comic” cliche of one heavy-lidded look between two strangers cutting to wriggling bedsheets, appreciate as a rare, brave event when two characters decide not to hank the f to the pank for some time… for whichever reasons.
“While”, not “why”
That’s not what he’s saying. The problem isn’t that Walky doesn’t want to have sex before he’s married… it’s that DW is going to put a convenient series of excuses and traps to stop him from having sex until he hooks up with his Future Destined Partner (which will occur before they do actually get married, for what it’s worth). It’s not honest to the character of Walky to act like this.
Also, having sex is fine. Not having sex is fine. SHaving sex only occasionally if there’s nothing good on TV is fine. But describing the act of delaying sex as a “brave” event is a bit… odd.
“Having sex only occasionally”, not “Shaving sex”. Although haivng said that, I am convinced that it’s going to be a thing.
Oh I didn’t mean that the decision was brave, but the portrayal. And not brave in some moral sense but in a “going against the tropey standard”.
Your point of the authorial traps is valid, however I don’t particularly feel it goes against Walky’s character? He’s, at this point, clearly not fit for having a romantic relationship yet and he’s not the kind of person either who’d have a relationship just to have sex. Hence, it is compatible with his character’s arc development that he will not sleep with Dina, regardless of the subconscious intentions of Willis.
XD i cannot stop laughing.
I feel silly for not noticing this until this exact moment…. But is Jason Chesterfield a nod to Ian Chesterfield of Doctor Who fame? Both English, both fight aliens, both have last name Chesterfield. Or is it (more likely) a coincidence?
DW has never really cared for DW (hey!), so I’m guessing it’s a coincidence.
It’s Ian Chesterton, not field
I… my first two characters were a promiscuous and poly lesbian and her monogamous-but-seemingly-biologically-incapable-of-jealousy girlfriend. (Still have then around, and there’s more to them than that) I… can’t relate.
Took me forever to realize what paradox he was referring to.
