    on a Batcycle!

    Bat-Sal! What a twist if she actually is Batman in this universe.

    1. Matt

      Impossible. She didn’t announce her name.

      1. Rodrigo

        I’m Batman! =D

        1. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

          I’m Batman…..And I can breathe in space.

        2. Jenny Creed

          I’m Batman, and so is my wife.

        3. JacHunter

          So then she’s Batman’s wife. Mystery solved.

      2. Kabrum

        Does that means that Joyce is batman? You know, she already announced her name quite a few times! D:

        1. Kernanator

          No, she’s Daisy. Because she prefaced her “I’m Joyce”s with “Hi!”

    2. dutchguy

      “She’s Batman”

  3. Mahare

    Hehehe, Jason stalkie-time commence!

  4. Qaxis

    Those windows are quite large. Shouldn’t have been too hard for her to get away. And bow ties are cool.

    1. Reboot

      > Bow ties are cool.

      As are Fezzes. Jason should wear a fez now.

      1. addude

        Now I can’t stop seeing Jason in a blue phone box

        1. Wackd

          Shit. Now I’m picturing Jason wearing celery on the lapel of a cricket uniform.

          It’s the hair. It won’t let me see him in a tweed jacket and suspenders.

        2. RandomPerson12

          Now I’m picturing Daleks.

      2. Qaxis

        But the fez died. RIP fez.

        1. addude

          you can buy a fez

      3. landbasered

        Its a fez. I wear a fez now.
        Fezzes are cool.

        1. dchorror

          Is that an appropriate quote given that everyone else disagreed?

        2. Reboot

          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIfgIgispS4 :p

      4. Richie9999

        Bow ties are indeed quite cool. Bill Nye wore one, ergo they are cool.

        1. Chad from Canada

          Bill Nye is my Hero. He made my grade 8 and 9 science classes worth attending.

        2. Tahiri

          If you live near Pasadena, you can swing dance with Bill Nye! He’s pretty awesome in person, too! 😀

        3. Pagannerd

          Bill Nighy wore one too, thereby making them even cooler.

    2. Undrave

      Bow ties are indeed very cool.

      1. Rowen Morland

        Time for a bow tie revolution?

        1. Undrave

          That would make the Doctor trendy, causing a rip in the fabric of time itself!

        2. Heather

          Again?

        3. Pagannerd

          The Doctor IS trendy. The man wore a tux and top hat into oblivion just so he’d be prepped to be reborn into existance at a wedding…

  5. Chaun

    *Insert Batman joke here*

    1. dchorror

      I now have the image of Sal running around with a teenager in primary color tights.

      1. skies

        BatSal and Amazi-Girl.

  6. Ray Radlein

    OMG! Sal can BREATHE IN SPACE!

    1. George

      Dammit, you beat me to it.

    2. LurkerAbove

      Batman! *duh duh duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh*

  7. Milosh

    Except this time, without the tragic death of her parents part.

  8. Kamino Neko

    Since she knocked over some convenience stores, and is thus, a criminal, wouldn’t Sal be more Owlman than Batman?

    1. Undrave

      Maybe she turned a new leaf, now she’s Plasticman,

      1. Kamino Neko

        She’s the whole damn DCU!

        1. skies

          Can she be Renee plz?

        2. Matt

          Trenchcoat and fedora is much more up Jason’s alley in terms of style.

    2. MrGBH

      She’s like Catman. But Catwoman is taken and Catgirl has its own connotations.

      1. JesseJanitect

        Catman is a dipshit. Don’t insult Sal.

  9. Dierna

    So THAT’s where she’s been hiding….in her Sal cave!

    1. landbasered

      I’m not sure if we want to mention “Sal cave” in front of her.
      Or anyone for that matter.

      1. dchorror

        It didn’t sound wrong until you said not to mention it.

        1. Kamino Neko

          Joyce: ‘There’s a Sal Cave? I want to see the Sal Cave!’
          Joe: ‘Giggity.’
          Walky: ‘AUGH!’

        2. mags

          Sorry, no Family Guy jokes allowed. *j/k* (but not really) (or am I?) (basically, no)

        3. Kamino Neko

          That’s not a Family Guy joke. If it were a Family Guy joke, Walky would be getting in on the Sal-lust, or else oggling Mike while muttering about killing Linda.

  10. Wackd

    Are we actually going to see the professors? Or are we just focusing on the TA because it’s Jason?

    Kind of hoping Penny’s the professor and Dargon’s the head of the math department.

    1. Matt

      Penny would be a little young for a professor. On this note, I can’t think of many characters from Willis’ previous strips that could be used as professors in Dumbing of Age. I am somewhat more interested in the graduate students’s theses, however (Jason’s must be about bow ties).

      1. Arthur

        Galasso could be a professor.

        So could Ronnie (although he should be the dean)

      2. Ben

        There’s already been a serious study of the mathematics of necktie knots. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie

        In fact, there’s a whole branch of rather abstruse math known as knot theory. Jason could well be working on a mathematics dissertation involving bowties.

      3. Jen Aside

        It’s already been established that they’re different ages here. Anything is possible!

        [including Amazi-Girl is really Walky’s twin and Sal was switched at birth with Faz]

        [[oh noes]]

    2. Gheald

      Professor Doc is my bet to be one of the so-far unseen professors.

  11. Undrave

    Blond European with a bow tie? Could Jason be related to Fantasio?
    http://data0.eklablog.com/fou2bd/perso/goodiesgastonip1.gif

    1. Björn

      LOL I can’t believe I never made that connection myself! Though to my European eyes, British and Franco-Belgian are very different.

      1. Undrave

        The small nose threw you off. Plus Fantasio doesn’t wear a bow tie much anymore.

  12. XMD

    “Basically” meaning “She hasn’t said ‘I’m Batman’ in the past 5 minutes.”

  13. Joebo

    So she makes everything funny? Batman is comedy gold you know.

    1. No0ne

      I want to see Batman make geology funny…

      1. Grrt

        All images in my head crossing those two subjects are pretty hilarious actually.

        1. No0ne

          Yea… they kinna are… but not make me fall out of my chair laughing funny. + I want to see what twisted way Mr. Willis will find to make Batman and geology funny.

        2. No0ne

          Batman on an oil rig drilling for oil is the most admusing one I can think of. He is wearing that bat hard hat :O

  14. dchorror

    Who’s hoping for an Amazigirl/Sal team up with the revelation Sal is essentially Batman?

  15. Alechsa

    If Sal is Batman…. does that make Walky Robin? And if so… is he Tim, Dick, or ….*shudder*…. Jason Todd? >.>

    1. skies

      Walky can be Manbat.

    2. JackNapier

      He’s Stephanie Brown. The Robin that Batman didn’t want.

    3. No0ne

      Naw he’s the clone of Bruce Wayne that killed Darksied!

  16. Ryune

    I can see the “Danny latches onto Sal because he thinks she’s Amazi-girl” plot happening already.

    1. Ryune

      oh my, I love it when my avatar is stunningly appropriate.

  17. Brady Kj

    Willis. Pay very close attention because I feel very strongly about this.

    T. rex
    NOT
    “T-Rex”

    1. TexasNinjaBuzzard

      I shed a single manly tear because you didn’t get the Dina avatar.

    2. Just for kix

      Walky is allowed to make mistakes

      1. XMD

        He exercises his right frequently.

        1. Grrt

          To Grumpy Billie Avatar’s dismay.

    3. skies

      …I’ve just learned something today.

    4. Erinaceus

      Do you really expect Walky to say T. Rex instead of T-Rex?

    5. Matt

      I must agree that “T-REX” should instead be written “T. rex” (obviously, there’s the unfortunate drawback of the dialog being all caps). Also, It isn’t a very good picture of Tachyoryctes rex.

      1. Pagannerd

        … It isn’t “Tyrannosaurus”? I mean, I’m not a paeleontologist, but I thought “Tyrannosaurus rex” was the one dinosaur name everybody knew, other than Velociraptor.

  18. skies

    Joyce is so going to start hanging around Walky constantly in hopes Sal shows up. Then she’ll freak out when she realizes she’s really there because she wants to bone him.

    1. Richie9999

      True enough.

    2. dchorror

      She settles for Walky cause Sal doesn’t reciprocate.

  19. Jabberwocky

    Sal can make anything funny.

    1. SilverKunama

      Oh my gosh, Jason-atar. Awesome 😀

      On an unrelated note, I like seeing Walky and Joyce hanging around together without him having love/fear/angst over her. Also that their budding friendship is totally realistic. “I dunno, I just bumped into them one day and we talked about stuff, and the next thing I knew we were walking to class together and bongoing about our siblings” is how I made about half my friends 🙂

      1. Richie9999

        I remember how I made most of my friends in college, and its pretty similar.

        1. katie01

          I’m pretty sure that’s the best way TO make friends in college.

  20. Doominbottle

    She isn’t batman, she is WINDOW SMASHER!

    1. begbert2

      Pretty much whenever anyone talks about Sal’s window-entry proclivities, I’m reminded of the window that *didn’t* smash. :p

      1. No0ne

        *splat*

      2. No0ne

        “However do thank Sci-re for Sal-Proofing the windows, aye?”

        This is also reinforcing my desire to see Penny in DoA…

        1. No0ne

          And the link decides not to work…

          http://www.itswalky.com/d/20030616.html

          …

        2. agentksilver

          I want to know how the conversation with Sci-Re went.

          “I’d like for this window to not break when a college-age girl comes crashing into it. And I’d like for it to be done quickly please.”

          “…You…you really think that’s going to be an issue? It’s, like, 20 stories off the ground.”

          “Yes. It’s going to be a very important issue. I need this done as soon as possible. Like now.”

          “I just don’t think…college age girls…fly…?”

          “What part of now did you not understand?”

          “I’m gonna have to run some tests…”

          “NOW.”

        3. No0ne

          Your take on that event is pretty funny, but I have to point out that the JFO pretty much MADE Sal so that Sci-re knew all about her.

      3. Doominbottle

        Yeah me too, the one Sal – Proof window….to RULE THEM ALL

    2. Grrt

      Part of me is sure that the only reason Sal was in those convenience stores she held up was because those front windows were so damn tempting to enter through.

  21. begbert2

    So does Jason have a buzz or something? He’s the only character whose hair doesn’t even slightly enlarge the appearance of his head-shape.

    1. JesseJanitect

      He’s pry got a Draco Malfoy gelmet cut.

  22. agentksilver

    Mike’s walking around, looking around, like he’s Walky’s security detail or something.

    1. captainswift

      Mayhaps it is so. I knew a guy who was nearly as assholish as Mike. He took a liking to me for some reason I can’t define, and anytime we were in the same room, he took it as his mission to be my ‘bodyguard’ (although there was never any particular threat to my well-being).

      That said, I actually like Mike. I suppose being fictional helps.

      1. No0ne

        I knew a guy like that in high school. He heard me joke about knocking over a bank to use the money to buy a friend of mine lunch. I still haven’t decided if he followed me around because he wanted to help rob the bank, or if he wanted to turn me in for reward money when I did…

  23. agentksilver

    Wait…in Roomies, didn’t it pretty much start with Joyce following Danny out of math class and back to his room? Is Danny even in this class? Is Joyce going to notice Danny’s existence? THESE ARE THINGS I WANT TO KNOW.

    1. Jason

      I also want to know where Danny and Joe are. Not in this math class, I guess?

      1. Grrt

        For that matter, where did Billie get to?

        1. Gianni

          Billie’s basically Invisible Woman

      2. No0ne

        I’m not sure we can decide this just from these strips. It does appear to be a rather large class after all.

    2. skies

      I’m kinda hoping we get to skip over the whole Danny/Joyce thing. Old storyline, right?

      1. Katosen277

        Same characters; different universe.

        The same hook-ups that happened in the Walkyverse might not happen again in this ‘verse. Joyce could easily hook with with Mike of all people, for all we know.

      2. No0ne

        I want to see her reject him. XD

        1. Gianni

          I want to see HIM reject HER

        2. blackouthart

          He’s done that already.

      3. SinisterTwist

        I wouldn’t be surprised to see Joyce glomp onto Walky relatively early, only for him to get freaked out by her. After all, in the alternate universe they had a past together & spent a lot time together with work. Different universe means different reactions.

        (Although if they don’t end up together I think I’ll go mad. They’re pretty made for each other, after all.)

        1. SinisterTwist

          After all, this is an alternate universe with Walky & Dorothy… she might end up being Joyce’s biggest competition. With her to obsess over Walky might not be the one to make the moves on Joyce. (I just hope this isn’t the universe he marries Dorothy in!)

  24. Carmen

    Yes, Sal is Batman. That would explain a lot…

  25. benenator

    “Yeah, I worked real hard on that T. Rex.”

    Especially the FAAAAAAAACCCCEEEE!

  26. sacramentotzar

    If Sal is batman… who is going to be the Joker?

    1. Kamino Neko

      Billie, of course.

  27. Funderbunk

    I wonder if Dave would be able to keep a comic going for longer than a year without making a Batman reference.

    But then, why would anyone want to try that anyway? BATMAN!

  28. Shift

    Now I can’t get the mental picture Batman going to an all-girls boarding school out of my head.

  29. BD

    Sal… is much more of a Huntress, I think. Or maybe a 70s era Toku hero. Yeah, that’s more like it. All she needs is a proper theme sung by Shimon Masato.

  30. Dahlia

    <3 Sal is Batman with boobs <3

    Haha, I was all emo and depressed and then I read this webcomic and my sanity and mental health are restored! ^ ^

  31. SonicBlueRanger

    Batman with A dash of Agent Texas I think.

  32. Theron

    So, does this mean that Ethan would go straight for Sal?

  33. bbg100

    I am SO proud of my fellow whovians XD
    also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPGTizdGwSc

  34. nothri

    She is the Sal we deserve, but not the one we need right now.
