    He misplaced it into a frame on his wall because it was awesome.

    1. A. Colunga

      panel 2 “Wax on. Wax off.”

    2. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

      LOL! Nice one!
      I’m actually enjoying math right now!
      Should’ve known Billie would’ve taken another way to get Ruth back. Though I’m surprised she didn’t go to class.

      1. Jason

        I assumed she was just too late for it.

  2. Cratacon

    Shaggy sighting! Panel one!

    Nothing anyone ever says will convince me that he isn’t in panel one.

    1. David

      That’s a girl! With Uggs!

      1. Cratacon

        This ‘is’ Shaggy we’re talking about, Mr. Willis.

        1. Digidestined of Trust (Tim)

          Yeah, that’s not Shaggy.

      2. Undrave

        When will we get more Shaggy? And when you do will Shaggy, Amber, Joe, Billie and Walky get into Ultra-Car and go solve mysteries?!

        And yes I got Walky standing in for Scooby :p

      3. David Herbert

        Maybe it’s a girl named Shaggy.

        1. bramblepatch

          Maybe it’s Shaggy’s twin sister. Who is also named Shaggy.

    2. Cratacon

      Fine. My dreams are crushed. I hope you guys are happy. You’ve also turned me into a promise-breaker because I said nothing would convince me that wasn’t Shaggy. Thanks a lot.

      1. Trae Dorn

        Shaggy is in Danny and Amber’s comp sci course anyways – you might still see him again, but the timing has to be right.

  3. Chrisby

    I am a fan of Mike’s way of lightening his load.

    1. Rognik

      And Walky will NEVER catch on…

      1. JesseJanitect

        Now he’s carrying the stupid math book; now he’s not.

    2. airfox

      I LOLed at Mike lightening his load on panels 2 & 3.

      -airfox

  4. addude

    It was a pretty good t-rex

  5. David Herbert

    I think they’re overreacting. Back when I was at university no one really cared if you missed a class once in a while.

    1. Rognik

      Some classes actually take attendance and give marks for showing up. No math class should, although we did have weekly tests at the seminars.

    2. Sarah

      I agree, at my college we’re given a certain number of “skip days”, as long as we don’t go over that number and still manage to hand in homework, none of the teachers really care.

      1. Doctor_Who

        This is why I’m glad I went to a huge school. 400 person classes do not take attendance.

  6. Teowulf

    I lol’d. <3 Walky. Reminds me of a freshman me. Except I drew dragons, like a real man.

  7. Dahlia

    Heh…I wonder WHY Jason “misplaced” Walkys notes…lol!

    1. Brasca1

      And not Mikes? Maybe Jason can appreciate Mike’s equations for prostituting his mother. At least it’s math related.

      1. Dahlia

        XD Definitely.

      2. MeHael

        He ‘misplaced’ Mike’s notes too; Mike just doesn’t care.

        1. NF

          Mike is actually happy that they were “misplaced.” It’s proof that his message reached his target.

    2. gangler

      He’s actually going to sell it to a museum and keep all the profits for himself.

      1. Dahlia

        O: you know…that actually sounds plausible!

  8. Ridureyu

    I present to you, MY CLASS NOTES FROM A RECENT 500-LEVEL GRADUATE COURSE:

    http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y185/Ridureyu/faustclassnotes.png

    It should be noted that I received an A for class participation.

    1. Dahlia

      Epic! Haha, I love it!

    2. Zap

      I have no idea what that is, but I approve in every way, shape, and form.

      1. Ridureyu

        Faust from Guilty Gear.

        I uh… I drew him a lot in that class. I thinkw e ended up with one for every week, ranging from cosplaying as FDR to hijacking Lucy’s psychiatrist stand (peanuts).

        And again, I got an A.

    3. SB

      I hate Faust sooooo much! Was totally going to win a match when all of a sudden, a frickin METEOR from one of his (apparently) delayed specials just KOs me!

  9. Wackd

    And then that art museum should be burned to the ground.

    1. Lesharo

      That T-REX belongs in a museum!

      So do you, Doctor…Walky?

  10. Sporkaganza

    I am totally loving Walky and Joyce’s dynamic here. Their back-and-forth is hilarious and fantastic.

    1. gangler

      True dat. Just fun to watch is what this is. Completely removed the romantic chemistry, but the platonic chemistry is there in spades. They should never not be friends.

  11. Confuzor

    Whoah, it’s weird seeing Mike in something that’s not Store Green or Black Tshirt.

    1. dchorror

      Totally didn’t notice til I saw your comment. It’s gray, and except for the undershirt, looks like what he normally wears.

  12. Kendra

    Mike does a lot of staring at Joyce. Probably in disgust/disbelief, but uh.
    I could ship it.

    1. begbert2

      Actually it looks to me like he’s looking clean over her head. At what, I do not know.

    2. Robert in San Diego

      Mike’s seen Joyce punch Joe — maybe he thinks she’s more of a threat than Walky (who’s weighed down with an extra book anyway).

      1. dchorror

        Maybe he’s mad at her for taking his job away from him.

  13. Scrawly

    Will the Joyce/Walky ship be draaaawn out for as long as possible, or is Willis just teasing it because it’s the obvious choice?

    1. Stolen

      you really have to ask that question? REALLY?

      1. Scrawly

        Really.

    2. Madness

      You got it all wrong-
      Joyce and Walky aren’t the obvious choice, Joyce and Danny are.

    3. gangler

      Can’t it be both?

    4. begbert2

      They’ve known each other for what, two days or something? What kind of hurry are you in?

      1. gangler

        Lol. True, true. Anyone have a figure on how many years irl between when Walky met Joyce in the beginning of It’s Walky and when they finally enjoyed premarital hanky panky? I don’t have an exact number, but I’m pretty sure at six months Joyce hadn’t even learned his name yet.

    5. Animal

      Nah.

      Joyce and Sal.

      1. Lokitsu

        ~To dream the impossible dreeeam…~

  14. Tristan J

    How many real men does it take to screw in a light bulb?

    None. Real men aren’t afraid of the dark.

    1. zuche

      Or screwing each other…with some appendage.

  15. Matt of Steel

    You know if Mike keeps putting his books in Walky’s backpack, Walky might gain super jumping abilities ala the original DragonBall and their perverse lust of wearing weighted clothes/turtle shells.

    And Joyce … yes Math is easy when you follow the steps:
    1) Pull out calculator
    2) ???
    3) Profit.

    1. Zap

      I think a Samurai Jack comparison fits better here.

      jump GOOD

      1. Roborat

        That is my favorite episode.

        1. dchorror

          That’s one of the few episodes everyone remembers.

    2. They Call Me Sook

      But she has a head for numbers!

      http://www.itswalky.com/d/19970915.html

  16. ADHadh

    Math is pretty easy, just time and energy consuming. But once you get the hang of it…

  17. Doom Shepherd

    I always hated math. I could DO it, but I hated it.

    That’s what kept me from being an Astronomer. Loooove the pretty galaxies and nebulae… HATE the math.

    1. dchorror

      I hear you mate. Math is a real pain. Hate doing it. Good at it, people are always asking me for help, but I hate doing it.

    2. Dhund

      Then be an Astrologer.

  18. dchorror

    Joyce sounds like someone trying to handle a love triangle.

  19. darkond2100

    I know you’re a Transformers fan. The father of one of my friends is an artists for the show. His name is Scooter Tidwell. He’s a storyboarder. Ever tried contacting one of the artists?

  20. Gianni

    Mike presents his magic disappearing text book! Amazing!

  21. Maths

    REAL men don’t follow the steps, because REAL math doesn’t have them.

  22. NopNop

    What kind of college is this that takes attendance? o.0 Mine just lets you fail if you don’t attend classes. Not like they’ll loose the money

  23. Hinoron

    Real men don’t determine their behavior by stereotypes of male behavior perpetuated by women.

    Just because girls say all boys act like idiots doesn’t mean you’re obligated to obey.

  24. Jenny Creed

    That’s Walky’s “splainin” face, as we’ll see later when he holds forth on Dexter & Monkey Master. (It may also be his “o” face.) He clearly thinks he’s got this man thing all figured out. For being a supposedly purposely bland generic protagonist character Walky has some sneakily distinct character moments.

  25. RandomPerson12

    Yes, it should be put in an art museum, it’s way better than any of those stupid sculptures…

  26. BrokenEye, True False Prophet

    Wait… did Joyce just make a snide remark????
