    Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between pauses. In layman’s terms, Walky thing goes in, Walky thing comes out.

    1. Bagge

      Walky’s thing

      1. butts

        going in

        and going out

        repeatedly

        1. Jamie

          up and down

          like tigger

      2. Whirlwitch

        Walky’s thingley. His (Reginald, Duke of) Thingley.

        1. butts

          man, he actually drew the wang in there

        2. Deanatay

          Well, his weenus is clearly visible in panel 4.

        3. whitt

          lol… no.
          legs.
          the cock would be very much BETWEEN the legs.

          sometimes reading webcomic comments I’m given to wonder whether the commenter has … seen naked people before.

          see that bellybutton? then find the sides of the body… make three lines, one for each side of the body and one down from the belly button staying evenly between the other lines (adjusting for angle of view)
          see? dick is very under blanket.

        4. Kamino Neko

          Under hoodie, actually, but…yeah. I’m actually not sure which part Deanatay is misinterpreting as Walky’s dingledangle…

        5. Jdorr

          From my understanding a “weenus” is a semi joking term for some part (I forgot exactly which) of an elbow. That people often joke about do to its similar pronunciation to a male genial

        6. Shade

          It refers to the loose skin of the elbow or the olecranal skin if you want to be scientific.

        7. maxyai

          If you really want to see Walky Weinerâ„¢, you can find a picture on the Willis DeviantArt gallery.

      THE CAKE WAS A LIE! THE CAKE WAS A LIIIIIEE

      1. L33tmaster

        THE CUPCAKE WAS A HALF-TRUTH! IT WAS A HALF-TRUTHHHHHH!

    walky performs a wangjump

    1. UniqueSnowflake2

      Everybody wangjump tonight!

      1. Woobie

        yow, good one and helluva callback!

      2. Badeyes

        clap clap clap clap

      3. StClair

        “What the ‘s a wang chung, anyway?”

        1. StClair

          (oops, just imagine a censor-bleep there)

        2. Stephen Bierce

          The line from the song (in the bridge that they cut from the singles version) is “Somebody tell me what a Wang Chung is!”

  3. Bagge

    Awwww. I’m glad Dotty finally got some rest, and have people around her who care.

    That’s right, little mouse boy. You can’t run from being the Walky who don’t want Dorothy to be dissapointed in you. Embrace it!

    Panel one gives me high hopes for the next slipshine, as does panel five.

  4. Doctor_Who

    Pogo dick.

    1. butts

      dick joke

      all the dick jokes

      we’re all twelve, haha

      1. SgtWadeyWilson

        [Insert Peter Capaldi reference here.]

        1. Delicious Taffy

          Don’t mind if I do!

          “Never be a fool, never be pushy… and never, ever ride bare! Remember… haste is always foolish… and a rubber is always wise. Always try to go twice, but keep your partner in mind. [Cut the bit about children hearing] Laugh hard… hump fast… be kind. Dotty… I let you go.”

        2. LeslieBean4Shizzle

          Your joke made me sad. Not upset sad, just sort of teary eyed and melancholy. I don’t want Walky to let Dotty go. **pout**

        3. Doctor_Who

          Well done.

        4. SgtWadeyWilson

          I uhh… *Bows.* Good show.

      2. The Cozburger

        Go Go, Gadget Willus!

  5. Schpoonman

    The alt-text, Jesus Christ.

    1. BeatleJWOL

      my immediate reaction, yes

    2. threePwny

      Apt Gravatar is apt

    3. JetstreamGW

      Bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun!

    4. FLUFFYWOLF

      What could it possibly –

      *checks*

      oh no

    5. Keulen

      I’m cringing at the thought of any guy trying to do that in real life.

      1. threePwny

        At the pain or how… endowed he’d have to be?

        1. Keulen

          Even if he’s very well endowed that would still hurt.

        2. NotPiffany

          …Yes?

      2. FLUFFYWOLF

        He’d have to be, like…. Curtis from Irvine Welsh’s books.

    6. Dara

      i know

      brb dying XD

    7. BBCC

      That sounds painful.

    8. Reltzik

      And yet, 80% of the guys who read that wished they could. … you know, if it wasn’t painful.

      1. Remmington Steele

        Somewhere on the internet, there’s video of someone trying.

        1. Reltzik

          And Rule 34 says that in addition to the inevitable “try not to laugh at someone hurting themselves because that’s funny” videos, some of that is porn.

    9. Jezi

      Yeah, I almost choked on my breakfast taco at that bit…

  6. threePwny

    The most wonderful thing about Walky is that Walky’s a wonderful thing!

    1. Doctor_Who

      His skin is made out of caramel
      His dingus is made out of springs

      1. butts

        he’s bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, fun

      2. HeySo

        and his butt cheeks are shined to a polish.

    2. Yumi

      But the most wonderful thing about Walky
      Is he’s the only one

      (“Don’t you have a twin? With, like, the same last name that your nickname comes from?” “Hmmmmm, no, I don’t think so.”)

      1. cbwroses

        The only one with a penis he can bounce on

        1. cbwroses

          Huh. I got Ethan. I’m ok with that.

  7. Regalli

    So who else thinks she’s gonna wake up and realize at least one of those assignments is a hot sleep deprived mess?

    1. BBCC

      Could be, could be not. I’ve written some good stuff while tired.

      1. John

        I wrote several thousand words on one of my NaNos while asleep in my chair. (That was the year I was under 20k on the morning of the 27th, and wrote over 30k words in four days, including 13,000 words on the 30th, to squeak out the victory with an hour to spare.) On review afterwards, it was surprisingly coherent. A little on the rambling side, but grammatical, correctly spelled, and generally sensible plot-wise.

    2. Reltzik

      Nonono, the hot, sleep-deprived mess will be coming soon to a slipshine near us.

  8. BBCC

    Oh thank god she’s asleep. Good job, Walky!

    1. Reltzik

      …. did you just call Walky God and, if so, is it related to today’s IW! Reloaded?

      1. BBCC

        I was being colloquial – agnostic. But sure, let’s go with that!

  9. CriticalQuit

    Sierra is VERY casual about this.

    1. DarkoNeko

      She got used to this sight. Last time she caught him playing with his little Walky.

      1. butts

        I think it’s well-established by this point that Sierra don’t give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

        1. DarkoNeko

          I know 2 girls on that floor that would disagree

        2. Deanatay

          Sierra gives a fuck. She just doesn’t give a Walky’s butt about nudity.

          She’s probably the sort who walked in on her parents doing it when she was little, and they acted like NBD, so she thinks it’s NBD.

    2. Doctor_Who

      That basically fits everything we know about Sierra so far. She’s a super chill, shoeless, polyamorous, seven foot tall amazon.

      The only reason she hasn’t had her own storyline yet is that every storyline afterward would be a letdown.

      1. butts

        Oh man now I really want a Walking with Sierra mini-storyline, that’d be the shit

      2. Yumi

        Personally, I’m more surprised that Walky is also so casual.

        1. Reltzik

          That’s not casual Walky, that’s Walky too busy freaking out about three different things to worry about freakouts four through seven.

        2. Yumi

          Is that what he calls his dick?

        3. SgtWadeyWilson

          “Three different things,” or “freakouts four through seven?”

          …on second thought, don’t answer that.

        4. LeslieBean4Shizzle

          I would assume “four through seven” since… well… imperial units of length. Which based on Slipshine based observations, seems accurate.

        5. SgtWadeyWilson

          I said don’t- *Sigh.* Honestly, I was kinda expecting “Neither, it’s ‘casual Walky.'”

        6. Yumi

          That’s where I was going with it.

    3. Valerie

      Is Sierra gay? We’ve seen her making out with another lady, but I don’t think we’ve seen/heard any evidence of attraction to boys. Maybe that’s why seeing a guy naked doesn’t bother her?

      1. John

        Evidence from the Walkyverse is that she’s bi. Seeing a guy naked doesn’t bother her because she’s super chill.

  10. Passchendaele

    wait, if it was *really* a lie, where’s the cake?

    1. butts

      pretty sure walky just had the “cake”

      1. Les Moore

        And ate it too …

    2. Reltzik

      Cheesecake or beefcake?

    3. Charlie Spencer

      Someone left it out in the rain.

  11. Nono

    Man, Sierra is extremely chill to now be in a state of being completely nonplussed by her roommate’s very naked boyfriend on a regular basis.

    1. Yumi

      It’s just a dude bouncing on his dick.
      What’s they’re to be (non)pulssed by?

      1. Yumi

        *there

        And since I’m making this note, *(non)plussed

    2. Bagge

      Sierra is a chill bean.

    3. Icalasari

      She might see it as a plus, Walky is apparently a bit of a looker

    4. Agemegos

      “Nonplussed” as in “bewildered; off balance; unsure how to respond or act”?

      Or “unfazed”, “blasé”…

      1. Emily

        English has too many words that have multiple conflicting meanings, and by too many I mean more than zero.

        1. Delicious Taffy

          Is there a language without that?

        2. Reltzik

          LISP doesn’t have any words at all.

          It’s entirely made up of parentheses.

          (Any counterclaims about “atoms” and “white space” are spurious propoganda and should be ignored.)

      2. UniqueSnowflake2

        And thus far unfazzed.

  12. Agemegos

    Walky’s looking a bit flabby. He ought to get some exercise.

    Also. I’m puzzled by the thing with the underpants. It seems to happen a lot in American media, but no woman I’ve ever slept with put her underpants back on before snuggling or going to sleep. Before leaving, yes. Before passing out, no. Is it an American thing? Have I just happened on an un-representative sample?

    1. Yumi

      Media wise, I think it just makes for easier angles without showing a woman’s breasts.

      1. Yumi

        (Unless you mean just panties (blah) by underwear, in which case, I think it’s the same thing but not about breasts.)

    2. tirachokko

      I think the underpants bit is just to keep vaginas off screen (dicks are often quite hidden as well). We americans are massive prudes with the humor of 12 year olds, didn’t you know?

      1. Needfuldoer

        If you think about it, that’s pretty much why we’re here in the first place. ‘Murica: massive prudes since 1620.

        1. tirachokko

          naw man, I’m just here b.c my grandma coerced my mother into moving here, then used us (the kids) and herself (grandma) as an excuse to get ma to stay here. Filial duty ftw

          But also yeah, we americans have always been prudes and it is a large part of why we’re now here

    3. Marsh Maryrose

      I interpreted this as Willis intentionally reversing the typical fanservice trope where women are as naked as possible, and men are only naked from the waistline up.

      Dorothy is shown in a relatively decorous state (not in a thong), while Walky is literally butt-naked.

      1. Miri

        Alternative explanation: Dorothy conked out before getting all her clothes off but after Walky got naked, and he just watched her sleep while trying to process the fact that they still care about each other and that means he isn’t free to screw up his life/maths course/grades as she will still be disappointed in him if he does…

        1. bhtooefr

          Alternative alternative explanation: Dorothy was going for maximum efficiency, and never actually got completely naked, just moving things out of the way enough to get the job done.

      2. Inahc

        Well, I for one approve. 🙂

      3. Eyebrow

        Except he’s wearing his socks. He’s butt-naked, but not toes-naked. It gets cold in Indiana.

    4. Fart Captor

      I’m pretty sure he just did

    5. taekwondogirl

      I always do it. After, it’s bathroom followed by underpants. ALWAYS.

      1. Dark_T_Zeratul

        So does my wife, most of the time. Unless it’s too hot.

      2. Ishdakitty

        Same here. I’m just not comfortable nude. In the hottest of weather I’ll still sleep in underoos and a tank top, personal preference. Nudity doesn’t bother me at all, lol, I simply prefer having something on.

    6. Tacos

      Eating nothing but 50 McNuggets as your only meals will tend do that to a person.

    7. JessWitt

      His metabolism is finally slowing down! Proof he’s not a god.

      1. Coma

        I doubt he’s becoming flabby – that looks more like the kind of skin fold (with a little bit of fat probably too) that even thin people get when leaning a bit forward.

        That’s one of the more realistic depictions of a person sitting – I think it’s proof that he’s not photoshopped

        1. Coma

          Plus, of course, as some already mentioned – McNuggets

      2. dralou

        I don’t think this “flab” has anything to do with overweight. He is still as fit as he ever was, but sitting makes his body crease, as the position naturally tends to do to anybody.

        We are soft, not quite elastic bags of meat, after all.

        1. dralou

          Dang, I’ve been too slow.

        2. Coma

          But you were better at expressing it!

    8. AnnaS

      I’m a woman and I used to usually put my underpants back on after sex but before going to sleep. I found it more comfortable, for whatever reason.

    9. thejeff

      It’s possible they were in a bit of a rush and never actually got all her clothes off?
      Given her current state, I doubt she did anything afterwards. If she’d been coherent enough to start dressing again, she’d likely have panicked about all the time she just wasted.

    10. Historyman68

      My gf is rarely without her underwear, even frequently right after sex. I think it’s just more comfortable for her.

    11. Dana

      Could be that Dotty is so conscientious about about self care and avoiding UTIs that she got up went to the bathroom even in her sleep deprived state, putting her panties on out of habit.

  13. Some1

    There once was a man named Walky

    Who’s wiener was a bit balky.

    He’d jump on the girls

    and unfurl his burl

    They believed he was a bit gawky

    1. butts

      what nothing with “cocky”

      1. Zellgato

        That portion tends to stand up and speak on its own.

  14. tirachokko

    What a kind roommate Sierra is (although probably when dorothy wakes, she’ll freak tf out. From experience, this is a thing)

  15. Xailenrath

    You go, I go, POGO!!

  16. Rukdug

    …did Walky not take his socks off in the first place? And how did he get his boxers on in between panels 5 and 6?

    1. Yumi

      He’s jumping into his boxers in panel five. He’s very dramatic about it.

      1. Tacos

        Ew, just how crusty and stiff would they have to be in order for Walky to be able to jump INTO his boxer?

        1. Yumi

          Sierra set them standing up using some bungee cords and the chairs.
          She’s very considerate.

    2. Inahc

      they’re Business Socks. 😉

  17. Zellgato

    seirra saw somewalky dick and or overheard their sexcapades
    which confuse me a bit

    did she put her clothing back on? did they just do it withh im naked and her clothing?
    or did she just paw at him and fall asleep after some action but not all?

  18. Nobody

    come on Wally, shorts then hoodie; get your priorities straight

  19. Koms

    I really enjoyed today’s strip. It has much less Faz in it.

  20. Solenoid

    Good that Walky got some shorts on before running off for tutoring. Would’ve been numberwang otherwise.

    1. Chris Phoenix

      Yeah, but now he can only count to 20.

    2. Deanatay

      Wangs four through seven?

      (See above)

  21. brasca1

    Sierra has a sinister look about her. The last time she looked anything, but happy go lucky was when she was in a group sneer off at Mary.

    1. Some1

      She’s disappointed in herself for agreeing to do a photo shoot for that strange child.

      1. Delicious Taffy

        Um.

        1. Clif

          Think feet.

        2. Delicious Taffy

          Um. x2

        3. Some1

          Think Faz

  22. ZerglingOne

    Sierra looks so mad in the 3rd panel. Like just completely pissed.

    1. Cyrus

      Naw, she’s got the anxious/worried eyebrow slant that’s incongruous with the angry look.

      1. Kamino Neko

        Yeah, that’s concern, not anger.

  23. Architex

    That alt text conjures such a revolting yet in-character image.

  24. Tacos

    I’d have expected Sierra to have more of a reaction to Walky jumping around half naked with his dick flopping around.

    1. BenRG

      I don’t think that Sierra reacts to guys in quite that way.

    2. David DeLaney

      If he’s bouncing on it successfully, it’s NOT “flopping around”.

      –Dave, however, if the word balloons are hiding it, it’s rather oddly shaped…

  25. Whirlwitch

    Tutoring? Bam! Weenus-sproinged!

  26. Mr. Random

    It’s kinda hard to be on pause in a relationship. It’s why it’s almost, ALMOST, always a lie.
    Either it lengthens…. or it was a day or so.
    At least in my very limited experience and based on what I’ve overheard of this rare relationship phenomena.

  27. Arianod

    I’m going competently mad
    I’m going competently maaad
    It finally happened
    It finally happened, oh yes
    If finally happened
    I’m competently maaaaaad

  28. vacantVisionary

    Wait, what pause?

    1. AGV

      Walky and Dotty were on a pause in their relationship because she was too busy among other things

  29. HeySo

    It’s so good to see Sierra again- it’s always nice to get a splash of her open-minded, well-chilled, kind-hearted pep.

  30. newllend(henryvolt)

    Get to work boy

  31. John

    I guess Sierra didn’t need to leave this time.

  32. Bicycle Bill

    The only thing I could think of in panel 5 (other than just how much I missed during my own college career) was “Is Walky so well endowed that Willis had to put the voice balloon south of his buttocks?”

    1. David DeLaney

      If he’s at peak bounce, things haven’t started moving back up relative to other things.

      –Dave, heh heh, he said “thingys” … what? … Never Miiiind!

      1. Clif

        Duke of Thingy.

    2. Needfuldoer

      It’s not the first time Walky’s talked out his ass.

      1. stoodmuffin

        BA DUMP TISH

    3. Dark_T_Zeratul

      Judging by David’s recent tweets… Yes, Walky definitely is.

  33. BenRG

    Yeah, well this was kind of inevitable, wasn’t it? It turns out that Walky recognises the need to schedule too, no matter how bad he is at it.

    I’m wondering how Dotty will react when her brain finally realises that her ‘temporary enjoyment before I go to Yale’ boyfriend has become so central to her emotional well-being?

  34. C.T Phipps

    Dump him, Dorothy! Dump him so you can be jealous and miserable!

    1. Eldritch Gentleman

      On top of being a sleep-deprived nervous wreck? You want her to collect mental problems like they are video game achievements?

      1. C.T Phipps

        RENEGADE POINTS for Dorothy! She can destroy the Council and select a human council.

        1. Eldritch Gentleman

          Just make sure Udina has an accident beforehand.

      2. HeySo

        “collect mental problems like they are video game achievements”

        Isn’t that what childhood, adolescence, teenagehood, and college all are for?
        I always just assumed it was..

        1. Eldritch Gentleman

          Ah, now that you mention it…

  35. Tarmaniel

    I’m kind of wondering how many posters here are young enough to not get the Portal reference.

    1. Chronos

      “How are you doing? Because I’m a potato.”

    2. SpaceshipPilot

      I guess that’s why they called it a pause rather than a break. “The break was a lie” would have been a bit too much.

      1. Zee

        If they called it a break it would have to be a friends reference

    3. not someone else

      Are you sure that’s a reference? “X was a lie” is a pretty normal sentence on its own (though I may be missing some extra context).

    4. abacuswizard

      Young? I’ve been reading about these characters since they were on Keenspot.

    5. Reltzik

      In the case of “The cake is a lie”, probably the same number that are too young to get Wizard of Oz references.

      I’m wondering how many are too OLD to get Portal references.

      1. Chronos

        Presumably all the ones too dead to see them. Presumably.

  36. FacelessDeviant

    Am I misremembering or didn’t Walky used to be more ripped?

    1. OnyxIdol

      McNuggets takin’ their toll.

    2. Emily

      Yeah, and it made no sense because he literally does nothing resembling exercise which is probably why it changed.

      1. geno

        I’ve known quite a few people who had bodies like that when they were teenagers.

    3. Reltzik

      Possibly McNuggets, but also possibly the fact that the other times we’ve seen him shirtless he wasn’t sitting and slightly scrunched forward.

  37. stoodmuffin

    new contender for favorite strip.

    JUMP WALKY JUMP oop watch that expose booty mister

      In all seriousness this is awkward for everyone and I hope Dorothy will be okay

    Thank goodness for that well-placed speech bubble.

      *Curse Willis for that inconveniently placed speech bubble

      1. ValdVin

        The speech bubble is so carefully placed that Willis provided the audience with the slightest bit of bun cleavage.

        Side note: Today’s comic has been online for nine hours. How long ago did someone ask for panel five without the speech bubble?

        1. Kamino Neko

          Willis provided such, apparently without prompting, at about 2AM. Check his twitter feed.

        2. ValdVin

          I claim “not that I was asking for myself”. But I think I will check that twitter.

    2. Deanatay

      Willis has, in the past, shown himself to be a master of the well-placed speech balloon.

      In a VERY similar context, actually.

      1. Deanatay

        Okay, true, the speech balloons weren’t doing the concealment, here, but it was still a fine job of incidental self-censorship.

    Sierra gives zero shits about seeing walky’s butt and from-behind dong.

    1. BenRG

      Sierra strikes me as the sort of person who could have been there watching it going down and not really regard it as anything remarkable or noteworthy. Basically, if she had bee in university 40 years ago, she’s be wearing a kaftan, a flowery shirt and intoning about ‘free love’.

    Anyone having issues with the alt-text on mobile IOS? As in it doesn’t show up at all?

    1. Madock345

      Yeah. I use Chrome to read the comic and that fixes it. The alt-text doesn’t seem to be compatible with Safari

    2. Schpoonman

      Tap the bit of blank space below the comic and to the right of the navigation buttons. Sometimes the comic will go up and that piece of the puzzle won’t be in place, but it should be up after an hour or so.

  41. FireAtWilliam

    I’m in love with Sierra to be honest

  42. Pylgrim

    What ethnicity is Sierra? If she’s Polynesian/Pacific Asian, Willis is getting really good at drawing her.

    If not… keep trying, I guess? >_>

    1. King Daniel

      I don’t think it’s ever been specified; all we know of her family situation, at least in this ‘verse, is that she’s adopted and her parents were awesome enough to stand up to Blaine when he was chasing Amber a few weeks back.

  43. Josh Spicer

    Thank god he put on pants.

    1. Bagge

      Eventually.

  44. LordHaw

    OK, now the Tigger song is stuck in my head! Course I’m tired so it doesn’t take much.

  45. nooB

    BUTT!

  46. Mada

    Plot twist; the next slipshine is Dorothy waking up still horny, and Sierra being willing to help out.

    1. Schpoonman

      That goes against Dorothy and Walky being monogamous.

      1. Sock_V

        They’re on a pause! =p

      2. thejeff

        Goes against Dorothy being straight too.

  47. Mr D

    ….Soooo, I guess Sierra likes to watch?

    1. cbwroses

      Sierra reads the Slipshines. She’s already seen everything.

  48. Daibhid C

    I don’t remember Tigger ever doing that.

    (Yes, I’m sure there are pictures on the interwebs that prove me wrong, please don’t feel you have to share them.)

    1. Josh Spicer

      Oh…okay…

      (quietly kicks thumb drive out of room)

  49. All-Purpose Guru

    So is Sierra thanking Walky for fucking her, or for making her fall asleep?

    …I guess it’s kinda both.

    1. Eldritch Gentleman

      Both are great for stress relief and Sierra just wants Dotty to chill out.

  50. motorfirebox

    You know the wonderful thing about dick-tiggers?

  51. Just for kix

    The pause was a caaaakkkeeeeee!

  52. Tenchan

    Goddamnit Willis! You killed me with that alt-text!

  53. Jeremy

    I love Walky, but does he not grasp the literal definition of “pause”? This will be as straight-forward as you will ever hope any partner to be.
