Starts off as a threesome, then Walky just walks in and go “Eh, i can dig it”
3Xp4t
This is the Walky I come here to love.
Not to say I don’t love a number of the other characters (in fact, most of them), but this strip is quintessential Walky, both oblivious to collateral damage and dead center of the ten ring simultaneously.
a becky-billie-danny-dorothy-ethan-joyce-roz-sarah-walky slipshine? I dunno, there’s a couple of them who might be into it, but I don’t know if we’re ready to go whole-hog like that just yet
Come now, let’s not be ridiculous. He’d never do an orgy Slipshine!
…Or…or WOULD he?
3Xp4t
I suspect it would hinge on two major factors: 1) how much money actually in the bank for it.
But, more importantly (I think) would be: 2) the actual conditions for said “plot.” As in, for example, “60% of current characters, your choice, get into an accidental orgy upon discovery that one of them has an impressive collection of adult toys. Joyce is trapped under a bed with Dina and they have to wait until it’s over before escaping. The next morning.”
I might have to do some creative accounting if that one becomes a possibility …
The uncensored version of that phrase doesn’t really imply irrationality or anything, just a take-charge attitude. (General disclaimer about how of course it’s sexist language and people don’t use similar gendered slur words for the equivalent male concept and even using it as a positive-ish descriptor doesn’t really make it okay).

Well, considering that a bongo (no not talking about drums) is a female dog, an alpha bongo would be a female pack leader.
Except for the fact that the word’s been used for a long time as a negative slur towards women… the history of a word’s context doesn’t just disappear because of what it is “supposed” to mean.

There is a history of pejorative terms transitioning to acceptable terms of description. That said such cases, such as “queer”, usually occur through usage as a term of self identity which I can’t imagine happening in general usage with this term (though there is a trend in parts of the BDSM community of certain flavors of dominant women referring to themselves as an “alpha bongo” so grain of salt and all that).
Rycan
Which is why usage matters. When Billie describes herself as an ‘alpha bongo’, you can be pretty sure she’s not using it as a negative slur. Now, if someone were using it to describe her in an insulting manner, that’s another situation entirely.
AHR
ok while there is a context to that word that is negative, I was using the term that Billie used to self describe. Head Cheerleader. Alpha Female Dog. Problem Solver.
Deanatay
No need to disclaim, Random – the Bongo filter protects us from all responsibility! I can think you’re a bongo, and call you a bongo all I like, and there’s no social pressure to stop. It’s great!
marianne
Great, now I have Basement Jaxx stuck in my head. And yes, I know that that song’s Bingo Bango, but apparently that’s just how associations work in my sleepy brain. Thanks a lot guys for forcing me to relive this awful, traumatic nostalgia of wonderful 90s music I grew up with! So inconsiderate…
About the party, probably not. But we’ve already had setup in Joyce suddenly bringing up Dana and Ruth saying that Billie could rat out any rulebreaking to her (at least, I figured the Dana outburst was setup for Becky until Raidah turned up – could still be).
Dammit I hate when someone posts a reply right before i do!
Rich
I see what you did there.
Someone
I just got what I did, I swear that was a complete accident. I was actually annoyed by the fact that someone can have the same idea as me and post it right before I do. Making me look like a complete idiot.
Did he refuse to own multiple sets of shoes to protect his masculinity? I figured he just never wanted more than one pair, and figured it was a “guy thing” (which it kinda is). He never thought “You know, I really want to get more shoes — but no, I mustn’t! My manhood will not allow it!”
You may think this is needlessly pedantic, but then, I am a needless pedant.
Well, if you remember his original plan was to get man-married. So Walky’s always been cool with the man-lovin.
vlademir1
Which even at the time was hilarious to me, since that hasn’t been a thing since the ’90s at the very least. Sneaker collecting goes at least to the ’80s and most adult men I know of own at the very least a pair for work, a pair for dress and a pair for general use with some of us owning specific types of shoes appropriate for various hobbies (hiking, sports, etc) and some of us will have a pair just for messier home repair and maintenance activities like yard care which can stain shoes in such a way as to make them socially awkward to wear in public.
Rycan
Yeah, there’s a difference between having a collection of shoes for the sake of collecting them, and making sure you don’t show up to the office in the same shoes you used to paint the house last weekend. But if anyone would confuse the two, it would be Walky.
dammit there should have been a “what” between but and line
Screwball
I don’t know, still kinda works. Asking if a line populated entirely by Walky, namely clones, other-universe-versions, other-timelines, future/past versions is great or not? Would definitely be interesting…
Rycan
There are not enough Nachitos to possibly sustain such a line.

Now whats the limit of people before it becomes an orgy?

more than four is orgy

I only say threesome b/c that’s what was on the poll

She’s got a real party to go to anyway.
Ancestral Hamster
Yeah, Sarah vs Raidah is going to be a knife-fight in a phonebooth. Being monkey in the middle of THAT would suck.
JustCheetoDust
If history is anything to go by then the violence will probably be one-sided.
Ancestral Hamster
You have a point. However, there was nothing at stake for Raidah in that incident, while now Jacob is prize worth fighting for.

This is actually a pretty good snapshot of everyone’s characters in a nutshell, except billie, with this only being the alpha bongo side of her.

this is alpha bongo? she seems pretty reasonable to me

Next up is AmaziGirl and later maybe Ruth will find out about the party, stay tuned folks

Ruth definitely knows about the party; the question is, will she do anything about it.

About the party, probably not. But we’ve already had setup in Joyce suddenly bringing up Dana and Ruth saying that Billie could rat out any rulebreaking to her (at least, I figured the Dana outburst was setup for Becky until Raidah turned up – could still be).

Ruth already knows, Billie told her. She doesn’t care. Given that its you know, a party from Joyce.

Walky has some great lines today.

Yes, indeed.

Walky has come a long way from the guy who refused to own multiple pairs of shoes in order to protect his masculinity! Go Dorothy!
Rich
Yep. Incredible sex with a girl who loves him has done wonders for his confidence. Funny that.
Good thing she likes having toys thrown at her head, isn’t it?
Abomination-Senpai
Did he refuse to own multiple sets of shoes to protect his masculinity? I figured he just never wanted more than one pair, and figured it was a “guy thing” (which it kinda is). He never thought “You know, I really want to get more shoes — but no, I mustn’t! My manhood will not allow it!”
You may think this is needlessly pedantic, but then, I am a needless pedant.
taekwondogirl
Iit’s not that he wanted or didn’t want more shoes… he felt that having more than one pair at all was not masculine.

Well, if you remember his original plan was to get man-married. So Walky’s always been cool with the man-lovin.
