    Walky is easily deported

    …defenestrated by door

    1. True Survivor

      While not the actually entomology that strangely makes a ton of sense. It is a great pun. 100 internet points to you.

      1. Jon S.

        Etymology.

        Sorry for the correction, but when people misuse “entomology” it really bugs me.

        1. Reltzik

          Why so antsy about it?

        2. Uly

          Maybe it just bugs him.

        3. flake

          some people cant let these things bee

        4. Clif

          Don’t mind me. I’m still trying to decide what you would call the study of entoms.

        5. Reltzik

          Well, so long as he doesn’t go apiary.

        6. Decidedly Orthogonal

          Indeed. We’re finally going to get the xkcd/forum crossover we need!

        7. Judas Peckerwood

          Back when I lived in South Florida, much hilarity ensued when our local daily paper once reported that the Mosquito Control Commission would be hiring a full-time etymologist.

        8. Decidedly Orthogonal

          It’s not even surprising that this was south florida.

    2. Decidedly Orthogonal

      What kind of monster just leaves internet rabbit-holes just lying around like this?

    3. Needfuldoer

      Yeet the Walky

    4. Joshua Kronengold

      LOL. I looked up the french before I realized that you had in fact said written “deported” which is an accurate word for “thrown out the door”. (not as an etymological backformation of the actual “deported” but by its own parallel construction).

    5. Paradoxius

      I would argue it should be “deforated” from “foris”

    6. ktbear

      Lets hope this doesnt lead to a 30 year war.

  2. Thag Simmons

    FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

    1. Clif

      Three words, sixteen letters, and none of them were from Yale,.

      1. Gigafreak

        I had to count up the letters in “Perverse Sexual Lust” just in case. Nope, two letters too many.

    2. Maddie B

      Hold now, aim is steady
      An otherworld awaits you

  3. newlland(Henryvolt)

    That for flirting with her boyfriend!

    1. Nono

      Yeah, throw Asher out!

      1. vulcanodon

        She did take on Ruth once, but Asher might not be a good gamble. Bullies look tough but usually play it safe.

  4. Sirksome

    If only he was locker adjacent.

  5. BBCC

    Yep, seems right for these two.

  6. Zor

    This bongo empty

  7. Yotomoe

    I’ve got an urge to make that final panel some intense lovemaking.

    1. nobodybasically

      Give in to that urge.

    2. newlland(Henryvolt)

      We’ve never dared to try to stop you before.

    3. Shorduie

      I would endorse but that would clearly be a hatefuck and Mike, bless his soul, already has the title for most epic of hatefucks.

      1. Yotomoe

        True but a title can be revoked for a multitude of reasons.

        1. Shorduie

          It certainly can!

        2. Sajuuk-Khar

          Also Mike is dead! You can’t keep a title posthumously!

        3. butting

          The title gets renamed in the deceased’s honour: the Mike Warner Memorial Most Epic &c &c

        4. Clif

          Tell that to George Washington, the father of our country.

          Or how about Benjamin Franklin, the only president of the US who was never actually president.

        5. Decidedly Orthogonal

          But Benji was the 2nd President of the University of Pennsylvania, /and/ the 6th President of Pennsylvania!

    4. anon

      it’s got real ‘step on me’ energy haha

    5. Bladeglory

      Until Walky asks if Asher wants to join in and then it goes back to the final panel.

    6. TrueVCU

      Slipshine exists

      for a reason

    7. Lars

      Or put some Sayajin Flames around him.

  8. J. Spider

    Asher really seems to care for her in that second panel. It’s sad to see Jenifer waste so much energy on Walky even if I get how their past leads her to it.

    1. CMasta1992

      +1

    2. Pylgrim

      Either he cares for her or he’s amused by seeing how clearly triggered she is. Not ready to give him the benefit of the doubt yet.

  9. tim gueguen

    Next strip Walky discovers he has the power of flight, leading to a new superhero identity.

    1. Clif

      Quick, someone tell Walky that the secret of flight is to aim for the ground and miss.

      1. maarvarq

        +1

    2. Pergola

      Flight Guy!

  10. True Survivor

    Super strength? Red eyes? Watch out Lucy, its a Terminator!

    1. BarerMender

      Lucy might level up to terminator herself.

    2. TrueVCU

      That or whatever is going on with [redacted] on Picard

    3. Slartibeast Button, BIA

      Well, given the way this comic is always distorting time, attracting Terminators, Time Lords, and Hound of Tindalos is unavoidable.

  11. poofdepoof

    Okay so… When will we get to see Jennifer actually express her feelings about what happened at lunch in words?? To Lucy? To a therapist?

    1. Bryy

      The fact that her response to Asher was “…..” followed by “whatever” leads me to believe that she, in fact, did not take any of Walky’s words to heart and is going to cut and run because they like Walky.

      1. Archieve

        Might be or could be she’s also a bit angry with Asher for encouraging Walky.

    2. Archieve

      She technically expressed displeasure verbally by stating her desire for violence to Radiah. Ideally she woukd go back to therapy. I think a therapist would be much more helpful and less dismissive of all her anger.

      1. Vanessa

        ANYONE would be more helpful than Radiah.

        1. Needfuldoer

          Which is exactly why she’s going to double down on joining Raidah’s mean-girl club!

    3. mrnoidea

      Nope. There are no words in Jennifer’s mind right now. Only violence. Those red eyes confirm it.

    4. HoopsieDaisy

      It was supposed to be a nice breakfast. This is why Jennifer is so angry at the world.
      *I’m kidding.*

  12. The Wellerman

    Okay, if there’s any recent strip I should make into a game it’s this one!

    If you wanna see that happen, send me your energy DBZ style!!! ?

    1. True Survivor

      Ok, but it will take a few episodes.

    1. Grimey

      I heard the yell in my head in the final panel.

    2. newlland(Henryvolt)

      Thank God I wasn’t the only one thinking that.

    3. StClair

      Yes, exactly this.

    4. DailyBrad

      Get Jazz’d.

    5. FlyingFish

      Have they done that in Bel Air yet? (Did it result in hospitalization and a lawsuit?)

  14. Mewzard

    Uncle Phil would be proud of that toss. Walky got some good air.

  15. Shorduie

    Why is she carrying a scrunchie with such short hair?

    1. Yotomoe

      She’s a Heather.

      1. cbwroses

        Heather Duke, probably.
        And I hope it’s the musical version of Heathers.

        1. Yotomoe

          That’s the only version I care to know. And also only the studio album. The voice acting is phenomenal. Actually seeing it on the stage doesn’t carry the same magic for me.

        2. cbwroses

          To each their own.
          I much prefer seeing musicals over just listening to them as it affects me in two ways instead of one.

          Side note: I only recently saw Mean Girls and then found out that Mean Girls also has a musical version.
          Apparently, the woman who played Veronica in Heathers plays the friend (I’m forgetting her name) of the main character in Mean Girls.
          Since the MC is basically playing a similar role as Veronica did in Heathers, I’ve seen people claim their head canon is that the friend is Veronica’s daughter (possibly with JD) and that part of the reason she makes the choices she does is because she’s heard Veronica’s stories about her own similar past.

        3. Yotomoe

          Even funner fact. I’ve done an animatic with my skunk character singing a song from the Mean Girls musical.
          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bdF5HRJWoA

        4. cbwroses

          Yes!
          Because I love musical animatics.
          Yes!
          Because that’s the woman I’m talking about, that voice is unmistakable.
          And Yes.
          Because her name is Janice and now I won’t forget it (until the next time that I do).

    2. AbacusWizard

      It’s not a scrunchie; it’s a bracelet that grants +3 to yeet

    3. zee

      When you have short hair like that you’re constantly waiting for the day it’s long enough to pull back, for convenience sake. She probably can pull the top back though, which is necessary sometimes

  16. Throwatron

    on the bright side, now at least lucy might parse that jennifer is, in fact, a human being

    1. Archieve

      I hope so but Lucy has some heavily rose tinted glasses on where Jennifer is concerned. Carla flat out told her that Jennifer was never popular in her old dorm but she still believes that everyone looks up to her when it’s more accurately a few people respect her opinions on certain topics.

    2. MoreWLessG

      Honestly I really hope tomorrow’s panel is Lucy giving a lot of smack talk to Jennifer.

  17. The Wellerman

    I don’t get the alt text ?

    1. True Survivor

      Yes, could some on explain that?

    2. RassilonTDavros

      Act with integrity.

      1. True Survivor

        Ahhhh, because somebody is about to die. I get it. Thanks.

    3. BarerMender

      I’m thinking it refers to Jennifer’s speech. Why, I don’t know.

      1. RassilonTDavros

        …huh, with the line break I read Jennifer’s line as four words instead of three, so I didn’t even bother checking how many letters it was. That’s probably it.

        1. Opus the Poet

          Ruth’s line just before meeting Truck-kun, in the Walkyverse.

    4. schmess

      Y’ALL Okay I literally YELLED when I read the alt text because I immediately understood it I GOT YOU.

      It’s a lyric from the song “Yeah Sure Whatever” from S1 from the Apple TV+ series the Afterparty! The show is a murder mystery and every episode is filmed and written in a different style (and from a different character’s perspective.) The song is performed by Ben Schwartz in his character (Yasper)’s episode. It is incredibly catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv4KpQehR_g

      So the alt text is referencing that Billie’s line “Yeah Sure Whatever” in panel 1- or that line itself is a reference to the song that the alt text is quoting.

  18. AeromechanicalAce

    Walky’s Thinking “So THIS is what Jazz felt like every time Uncle Phil threw him out…”

    1. Cattleprod

      Now every time Walky wears that outfit we’ll know it’s because we’re about to see the stock footage of him getting tossed out.

  20. Archieve

    Jennifer, Walky did not create the divide between you and the rest of your new group, that was always there.

  21. newlland(Henryvolt)

    Oh right today’s Reddit post ironically is a Poll also including walky. Should last about a day:https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbingofage/comments/1208he7/who_has_better_one_jokes/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

    “And so I left, with my head held high. And my feet held higher!”
    “In that position, we threw him out.”
    —Goon Show

    1. butting

      Aw, I came here to make the exact same joke!

      (Milligan reused it to describe his father’s exit from an Air Ministry building after walking in off the street with some harebrained scheme or other, which… definite Walky vibes from both.)

  23. Mano308gts

    Nah, Jennifer’s got a comedown coming, and it can’t come soon enough. She’s been just about the worst member of the cast- since the timeskip.

    1. AeromechanicalAce

      To be fair, 3 of the previous contenders to the position all died just before the timeskip, and Joyce’s mom hasn’t appeared since then.

      1. HoopsieDaisy

        That’s an uncomfortably fair point.

    2. Archieve

      I wonder if Lucy might call Jennifer directly out for throwing her boyfriend. She gently did so at breakfast and the way Jennifer has ignored her outside the dorm up until today might have already caused some hurt. “We were there for you at your lowest now suddenly we’re not good enough to be in your presence?!” Is something I think Jennifer might need to hear.

  24. miz

    i think it’s the serene peace of the last panel that gets me. no over the top cartoony expression or wilhelm scream-esque sound effects- not even action lines like in the previous panel. just a pure instant of tranquility, captured in time, before walky hits the ground.

  25. Ty34er

    3 words and sixteen letters… I don’t get it.

    Also, from a former RA standpoint, she was allowed to kick him out but not literally “throw” him out

    1. anon

      well she’s allowed to ask him to leave but considering he was there in the capacity of lucy’s boyfriend versus just a friend/guest intruding upon their dorm rooms, she’d at least have to ask lucy first too instead of just grabbing him but hopefully walky would be like “what the hell” versus “ok guess i’ll give you space, talk to you later lucy” since walky would prolly be more likely to be confrontational

    2. Clif

      Jennifer was never an RA.

  26. V

    Is the alt text… a gossip girl reference??

    1. anon

      https://www.reddit.com/r/EASportsUFC/comments/87zmu5/three_words_sixteen_letters_say_it_im_yours/ first result i got was some sports thing lol but maybe

      1. V

        Lol I’m pretty sure that post is also just making a gossip girl reference, the original quote is “Three words, eight letters. Say it and I’m yours”, referring to I love you. So I assumed that meant “Yeah, sure whatever” is Jennifer’s way of saying I love you.

        1. Sajuuk-Khar

          bongo’s empty, YEET

      2. newlland(Henryvolt)

        Oh well in that case.

        Throw. Smartass. out

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv4KpQehR_g

      1. schmess

        Pretty sure it’s from this song but then that song bit itself could be a reference to gossip girl!

  27. anon

    lol, love the rage-drenaline, though surprise she has that kinda strength otherwise because i imagine she hasn’t kept up with any exercises she did as head cheerleader

    1. Joy

      You don’t need to be on a sports team to maintain a pilates routine ._.

  28. Suet

    Jennifer shoots and she scores! Hoosiers lose!

    “I thought we’re meeting up after class?” “I am.”

  29. DailyBrad

    Walky becomes Fly-ey.

    1. saltchocolate

      Winner

  30. Dana

    I’ve been low key against the Jennifer hate in the comments, but she’s making it hard.

  31. Wraithy2773

    Now, okay, bear with me, people, but I have this wild hunch: I think Jennifer/Billie has some unresolved angst related to Walky.

    I know, it’s a longshot, but I’m getting some subtle hints about it here. 😀

    1. Sajuuk-Khar

      You noticed that too?! I thought the clues were buried too deeply, myself.

    2. Plain Marie

      Um-hmm. She mad, as my colleagues would say.

  32. Sajuuk-Khar

    Fourth panel we just hear the “Ironside!” siren from Kill Bill lmao

  33. Time Sage

    Hmmmm, a thought. Sal was freinds with Asher as kids, and Walky at least knew him via that, but did Jennifer? Its stated she’s basically Walky’s other sister but that doesn’t mean she knew everyone the twins did.

    1. cbwroses

      She said she was on the other side of the playground from him when he said something like “If I knew there was such a great woman around.”
      Basically, the twins had their own social circles, so they would know of each other’s friends while not necessarily being friends themselves.
      So considering that, I’d bet Jennifer only knew him as that guy Sal hung out with.

  34. cbwroses

    There’s roughhousing.
    There’s bullying.
    And then there’s this.

    Leaving aside that Walky didn’t do anything wrong in this strip.
    Leaving aside that almost all of her negative feelings over breakfast were her own doing.
    Leaving aside that this is Lucy’s room, too, so she doesn’t get to throw out Lucy’s guest without her permission or a damn good reason.
    Dude is almost horizontal 3.5 ft off the ground (assuming the door is 7ft).
    This is not how you treat your friend, let alone your pseudo sibling (unless you’re ok with the possibility of an actual physical fight).
    This sober “popular” Jennifer has just treated Walky worse than we’ve ever seen alcoholic “loser” Billie do.

    Sure we can see the humor in it, and maybe it will be played for laughs next strip (despite there supposedly being no super powers, we’ve seen major and minor instances of teleportation through the years) so maybe this is nothing.
    But we’ve also seen multiple forms of scarring and physical mutilation, so it’s entirely possible that this could be as physically harmful as it would be in real life.

    This bothers me more than I thought it would and probably a lot more than it should.

    1. Sirksome

      I think this is just slapstick. It would be a pretty severe tone shift for Walky to get seriously hurt from a gag in this situation.

      1. cbwroses

        Oh, I’d be surprised if Walky actually got anything worse than a bruise.
        But I don’t like that she did this and would prefer to see the next strip take this with the seriousness of real life and have either Lucy, Walky, or both call her out on it vs them taking it in stride like “Oh, that Jennifer!”, like it’s some sitcom with a laugh track.

        1. StClair

          As all the Fresh Prince callouts have been referencing, this is literally a sitcom gag.

    2. Needfuldoer

      Walky hasn’t done anything wrong in this arc, and that’s exactly why Jennifer’s furious with him.

      1. Joy

        He’s been low-key kind of douchy this whole chapter in my opinion.

    3. HueSatLight

      We’ve seen “teleportation” used as a visual metaphor.

    4. MoreWLessG

      Thank you. I haven’t like Jennifer for a long time in this strip and this most recent arc only reinforces those feelings. She’s not a good person. Let’s hope Lucy and the rest of the people in her hall start to realize that.

    5. not someone else

      The fact that we keep seeing slapstick come back in flashbacks as serious physical trauma is what continually bothers me more than it should.

  35. Cholma

    SOME one’s got anger issues!

  36. Someguy

    Ah, the Jazzy Jeff maneuver. Uncle Phil would be impressed by her form.

  37. crys

    omg asher ? he adores her

  38. mrnoidea

    Is…is Asher just not reading into Jennifer’s expressions? Is he lovey-dovey because they all hung out and peace was done?

    Because Jennifer was a fan of the goose game with the meme “Peace was never an option.”

    *yeets Walky, injuries be damned*

  39. TrueVCU

    Y E E T

    1. cbwroses

      Even though the toss has bothered me (enough to make a sizable comment about it), seeing tall the “yeets” in the comments makes me unable to not think of this:

      https://youtube.com/shorts/IoW8fZoiKaM?feature=share

  40. Mr. Random

    How dare you be yourself and enjoy life in a way that illustrates to me that you can both be genuine and happy.

    1. Clif

      I’m sorry. It won’t happen again! I promise!

  41. Serendipity

    …What the fuck, Jennifer?

    1. Michael Chandra

      This was literally my response and I’ve been looking through the comments to see if someone else said it or I had to.

      1. Liliet

        Fun fact: I had forgotten Lucy and Billifer shared a room, so for about half of reading the comment section I was assuming Walky was just there to annoy her and that her reaction was perfectly justified.

  42. Fay

    Honestly, I feel like Jennifer’s mostly just mad here because no one was indulging her mean girl tendencies. All of her aggression towards Walky was either ignored or pushed back on, and she’s mad that her mean girl alpha-bongo behavior doesn’t earn her social status anymore. And I think she’s kinda floundering because she doesn’t really know how to “earn” social status without directly putting someone else down. Also, maybe Raidah’s push back towards her has made her realize even more that she’s not the “leader” of this group.

    I also wonder if any of her animosity is stemming from Walky trying to make her THINK about whether or not her new friends are actually good people.

    1. Needfuldoer

      She also feels safe lashing out at Walky because she knows he won’t abandon her.

    2. HueSatLight

      I think Raidah is fucking with her. Jennifer’s trying to impress Raidah, and Walky’s behavior is something Raidah would typically look down on.

    3. Archieve

      At her best she’s plays the role of the helper which is what Lucy admires but whenever insecure or not needed she has need to tear someone down. I think theres still not much about herself shes happy with which is why making others look bad is her go to method. Im hoping breakfast might have atleast made her question if going along with radiah is actually what she wants.

  43. Francoinblanco

    Last panel in colour sepia
    message “To be continued”
    “Roundabout” by the British rock band Yes play in background

    1. PirateTawnee

      Panel 6 – Walky glows with a bright bluey/white light as electricity sparks off him, utters a swift “oh boy”, and looks around from the floor in confusion.

    2. The Wellerman

      ??

  44. Needfuldoer

    Something tells me editing the last panel onto the end of every existing DoA strip won’t work quite as well as YeetGarf, but “defenestrated Walky” is still hilarious.

    Not the first time she’s defenestrated one of her friends.

  46. Ophidiophile

    Sorry, Walky; you’re not allowed to be as popular as Jennifer.

  47. Icalasari

    Uh, Billie?

    I uh, think you can actually get into deep shit for that one

    1. shrub

      Five minutes in Walkys company and the cops would completely understand Jennifer’s actions

      1. Taffy

        Of course they would, he’s a black kid and they’re cops. That’s just their natural state of mind.

        1. mrnoidea

          (TW: police raid) They may just search all his hoodie pockets looking for a thousand pounds of weed and find nothing.

        2. shrub

          More that Walky is an annoying little gob shite

        3. Taffy

          Oh wait, you’re the one who says that when he’s so much as visible.

        4. shrub

          What do you mean by that?

        5. Taffy

          Not a whole bunch really, I just kinda feel like I’ve seen you making anti-Walky comments a lot. Not an indictment or nothin’, it’s just a perception.

        6. shrub

          Am I not allowed to?

        7. Taffy

          Only if you accept you’re wrong about our Messiah. :shrug:

        8. Taffy

          Reading this back, I think I’m coming across as sorta very antagonistic, like I’m coming after you a little? I apologise, there’s no call for it. I was trying to basically say “oh hey i recognise you”, but I’ve been very very high for the duration of this exchange. Sorry for this antagony.

  48. Regret

    I think Billie is upset by being called Jennifer by the symbol of the only safety and normalcy she felt during her youth. She hates seeing Walky grow up because it feels like she’s losing the only part of herself she likes.

      That’s an interesting read on it, and I think it may indeed have some truth to it, yeah. As much as Jennifer loves the feeling of popularity and being in the “inner circle” (a need that she’s also sating by joining Raidah’s group), I think deep down she’s aware of the superficiality of these groups and fears what would happen if they knew about the “real” her. The Jennifer that, honestly, is a bit of a dweeb, likes hanging out with geeks and other “uncool” people, and wrote erotic fanfiction about Kit Fisto.

      Seeing Walky like this just brings into sharp focus her own attempts to bury and deny her true personality, and I think the idea that a fake version of Walky is able to win such popularity when she knows it’s not the real him is maddening, that if Raidah and the others only knew the truth, they’d probably shun him (and her) post-haste. Plus, we all know Walky won’t be able to keep up this act forever, so when the truth eventually comes out, it might drag her down with him.

      1. Sharaku

        Is Walky being fake though? I feel he was genuine throughout the entire breakfast. Putting on a bit of a show perhaps, but not being a fake version of himself.

        1. Mark

          I feel that he was deliberately projecting a caricature of himself. More-Walky-than-Walky, so to speak.

          But I’ve been wrong before.

        2. pyrock_mania

          I think it’s less “Walky is being fake” and more “Walky has grown/changed but Jennifer intentionally ignored this fact until it was shoved in her face by her peers, so now it FEELS fake.”

    2. Wraithy2773

      Counterpoint: I think that she’s perfectly fine being called Jennifer.

      …unless the person saying the name is Walky…

    3. Amelie Wikström

      There was some insightful comment the other week suggesting Jennifer’s hair trigger aggression throughout the breakfast is due to the cognitive dissonance of trying to divorce herself from every part of the life she had before college while also keeping Walky as the personal stuff-into-lockers-to-relieve her-stress butt monkey he’s always been to her. Like, how many times does she tell Raidah to stop calling him David. . .

      I’m looking forward to her figuring out what she actually wants and possibly getting into a fistfight with Raidah over Kit Fisto.

      Kind of an ill omen to be sailing underneath it, then.

  50. Rabisch

    But… why Jennifer? WHY ALL THIS VIOLENCE???

  51. GUIGUI

    Now, what could have possibly triggered this?

  52. Sombrero

    Cliffhanger!!! Who will Walky fall on? Wrong answers only.

    1. Sharaku

      Mike’s body.

      1. BOOSTER SHOT

        Nailed it on the first try

    2. Mark

      Actually, Walky’s sudden terror activated his latent levitation power and he unthinkingly flew away to escape. We’ll see him next week, doing lazy-eights over the golf course a few minutes later.

    3. Rabisch

      Danny. Then Sal will come and finding them on top of each other she’ll say “I knew it was only a matter of time…”.

    Flying is easy … landing is the tough part.

    Gravity: not just a good idea, ITS THE LAW !

    Lucy has an Our Flag Means Death poster! 😀 She has good taste.

    “yeah, sure, whatever” = 3 words, 16 letters.

    Third comment I’ve made on the alt text so I’ll stop here but I would really really love to know who else is in the intersection of reading Dumbing of Age and having watched the Afterparty TV series.

    Because as someone who reads DoA daily and spent an absurd amount of 2022 watching and talking about the Afterparty with my sibling (up to and including writing our own version of the finale),,, the first panel and the alt text reference made me lose my mind

    (also, i really love jennifer and asher’s faces in this strip. They’re messes, but they’re hot messes)

    1. HueSatLight

      Good eye/ear.

  58. Dot

    Billie is so goddamned lucky Walky is willing to give her so much grace when she keeps pulling shit like this. Presumably this lines up pretty cleanly with their relationship in high school.

  59. egg egg

    Jennifer needs therapy for more than just her alcoholism, goddamn.

  60. Thomas O.

    Do we call him DJ Jazzy Walky now? 😛

    1. Needfuldoer

      DJ Walky Dave.

  61. Sajuuk-Khar

    I’m going to join the anti-Jennifer contingent, but not for any good reason, rather because this is BLATANT clitblocking, Jennifer. Lucy was closer than ever to getting a ride on the Caramel Schooner and you went and ruined it with your Uncle Phil impression. Unforgivable.

    1. Taffy

      I get that it’s her room too, but she’s being really rude to Lucy by doing this.

      1. Archieve

        Didn’t realize that was their dorm room. She was doubling down on radiah calling him David in a ” I named him” way now shes basically telling Lucy that he’s hers to throw around.

        1. Taffy

          She’s very possessive of him, in a way. It’s interesting.

  62. vulcanodon

    Frame five: Walky is solving a complex problem in orbital physics, under quite a bit of time pressure. After he picks himself up, he’ll have other problems to solve.

    Wonder how Lucy will respond.

  63. HoopsieDaisy

    Lucy, save him! You’re his only hope.

    1. Dot

      Honestly I really do hope this is what gets Lucy to fiiiinally snap at Billie.

  64. brionl

    Next strip, Walky lands right next to Joe.

  65. Adept

    Billie remains a horrible person. No learning, no growth.

    1. anon

      maybe she’ll grow after leaving raidahs’ friend group since she prolly would’ve if she hadn’t backslided into a ‘popular clique’ type thing

    2. Archieve

      She’s stuck going in circles because she keeps trying to revert back to her high-school glory and still has a bit of main character syndrome.

  66. wakeangel2001

    getting Fresh Prince flashbacks there…

  67. Joy

    This comic was really satisfying to read.

  68. Lawzlo

    Can you fly, Walky?

  69. Omnithea

    She’s gonna fuck your girlfriend.

  70. Victor Riley

    She can’t help but be an abuser, can she?

    Guess its hard for her to feel like she’s “popular” and high above everyone else if her friends actually like those she considers “lower”.

    She makes this big deal of “changing”, and shoving it in everyone’s face… but hates that anyone else is liked for just being themselves.

    I really hope she gets a rude comeuppance. Especially when Raidah and company boot her to the curb. But then she’ll just blame Walky and everyone else.
