    Throwing toys at ladies? A brilliant strategy.

    1. Malph

      It’s how I got my first girlfriend… by which I mean it’s how I got my ass kicked by a girl for the first time. And, in the end, isn’t that what love is all about?

    2. Taigan

      Alternate versions had the same idea: http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20000809.html

  2. Cratacon

    Walky just gave the monkey to Dorothy.

    Gave it to her FAAAAAACE

    1. Jabberwocky

      “Give the monkey to her face?”

      Ewwwwwww.

  3. Cinder

    Because throwing toys at people is the best way to make friends.

    1. Joebo

      …and influence people.

  4. Inara

    Welcome to approximately 70% of the conversations I had with guys when I was majoring in Computer Science…

    1. Ristar

      You were in a wierd computer science program. I graduated ~2 years ago and it was all binge drinking, video games, and badly concealed insults on everyone elses sexuality… ok maybe my computer science program was wierd…

      1. Ristar

        Yay Im not the shithead avatar in DoA!

    2. R

      Your Billie avatar is very appropriate. My time in Computer Science was probably similar to yours, except guys would give me help with homework (I had a lot of health problems then). I didn’t really like it, but whatever, it helped me pass a couple of classes.

  5. Jacob

    What a gentleman.

  6. Alix

    Walky’s adorkableness just made me laugh out loud. Not on a “lol” way, like a “crap I hope I didn’t wake someone” way. Very nice.

    1. Alix (Rose)

      :O we have the same name, Alix is my real first name and Rose is my internet name lol, cause of the username i used based on a song by my fave band… people just started callin me rose and so i got used to it xP

      1. Dovahkiin

        Would that band be Guns n Roses?

  7. Cholma

    Awww, it’s twoo wuv!

    1. landbasered

      have you read “Itswalky”?

      1. Cholma

        Yep! Since it was called “Roomies!”
        I be old skool, dawg!

        1. Lokitsu

          Dude, you just be old!

        2. maggiemarmalade

          … loki?

    2. Someone

      No! that’s not true love. It’s clerarly, to blaaaaaaaive, which is an old way of saying to bluff. He’s probably going to cheat someone at a card game. (This horribly mangled film reference brought to you by Addled Brains, Inc. When it has to be gibberish, call ABI!)

      1. Kaj

        Have fun storming the castle!

        1. david with a small d

          “wadda ya think, will it (Walky throwing toys at Dorothy’s head) work?”

          “it’d be a Miracle.”

      2. Freon

        Yessssssssss princess bride reference get!

  8. skies

    So…Walky’s the crazy stalker this time around, instead of Joyce.

    p.s. hopefully it won’t take Walky too long to realize that just because someone shares your fandom doesn’t mean you’d want to date them.

    1. T Campbell

      Actually, Dorothy was also a crazy stalker the last time around, albeit a little better at hiding it before her meltdown. To complete the set, look for Danny to surreptitiously become Dorothy’s cyber-buddy, “SensitiveScanner35.”

    2. Matt

      Walky was the crazy stalker in It’s Walky initially. He just dialed it down a notch. But he still did that “cling to the girl you like like glue” routine.

  9. TheSoundDefense

    This is approximately equivalent to how crushes work.

  10. Alice Macher

    Still beats some of the come-ons I’ve received at cons.

    1. Kamino Neko

      That comment, combined with the Joevatar… Bwaha.

      1. Alice Macher

        I know, right? Damn you, Willis this random icon placement. 🙂

  11. Trevor

    Does he carry that around with him all the time?

    1. Joebo

      well yeah. Don’t you?

    2. agentksilver

      I’m more concerned about him carrying around the action figure.

      1. Rognik

        Is that a Monkey Master in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

  12. Carapace

    True Story: First time I met my now-husband, he gave me a bootleg Sailor Moon knockoff doll that he’d bought on a whim. It was very odd, and made me think he was sweet and possibly a little brain damaged.

    We still have the doll.

    1. TexasNinjaBuzzard

      Okay, I was all freakin’ out for a moment here, like “OH HOLY CRAP somebody else has the same exact origin story what are the frakkin’ odds“… until I remembered that the new comment setup gives everyone without a personal Gravatar a new icon every time, so you’re not a jovial G1 Ratchet any more.

      …Also you left out the part about jumping out in front of the vehicle your future Sweetie is riding in and hopping back and forth like a toreador doing a taunt move.

  13. Kamino Neko

    Wow…you weren’t kidding about dropping to buffoon, were you?

  14. Sakimei

    Maybe he only carried it for luck on the first day of college!

    1. Joebo

      More likely that his bag is stuffed with action figures, and Mike’s books.

  15. Jen Aside

    ALLO SUE

    I GOT LEGS

    DO YOU LIKE BREAD?

    I GOT FRENCH LOAF

    *smacks her in the face with it*

    BYEEEEE

    (I love you!)

    1. landbasered

      what is this a reference to?
      It sounds scott-pilgrim-ish

      1. Ragnal

        I don’t know, but GODS is it hilarious! XD

      2. Kamino Neko

        It’s an Eddie Izzard bit. This one.

    2. Scullwah

      Eddie Izzard has never been so successfully applied to anything

  16. JackNapier

    Should’ve gone with “Wanna see my Monkey Master?” That would have gone over a lot better.

  17. Orange lantern

    Seeing walky say I love the head alien is…weird ><

    1. Joebo

      well, he is the least threatening/ the most hilarious.

  18. Dean

    Smooth.

    1. Umer

      Buffoon mode, activate!

      1. MrGBH

        Powers of….. Idiocy!

        1. Jabberwocky

          Form of… a fanboy!

    Walky Walky Walky.. that’s not a toy…it’s an action figure with head bounce action

    1. Rusty_Unycorn

      I GIVE IT TO YOU.

      1. Cognomen

        I have a feeling this could be the new FAAAAAAACE

        1. Rusty_Unycorn

          I GIVE IT TO YOUR FAAAAAAACE

  21. NinjaNick

    Go easy on Dorothy. 😛

  22. T Campbell

    This may look bad, but I wouldn’t count Walky out yet. It’s obvious that Dorothy regards her fandom as a vice, but for all her desire to get ahead in life, it’s a vice she’s found irresistible. That may change. But if it doesn’t, and if she begins to associate Walky with that vice, then he attains the lure of the forbidden pleasure.

    1. Matt

      Oh yeah, it’s hard to admit in college something like “I like children’s cartoons” if you want to look cool/make friends. So now she has a nimrod to watch TV with. Walky hasn’t struck out yet by a long shot.

      1. Zakrael

        Pretty sure you’re going/went to the wrong educational establishment.

        Cause round my university, if you announce that, say, you are a massive fan of Gargoyles, you’d get ten people saying “Me too!” and a further five who would come back a week later and say they hadn’t seen it before, but they had a look on youtube and now you’ve made them torrent all three series, you bastard.

        Replace Gargoyles with Avatar, Transformers, Animaniacs, or whatever, according to generation. Same result. There’s something about the late teens/early twenties that makes Saturday morning TV awesome again.

        1. Jabberwocky

          “again?”

        2. Rachel

          This is a little what it’s like at my school, except there’s still the good number of skeptics who think you’re nuts. Fortunately, my roommate and I defy them all by indulging ourselves in various forms of nerdery.

        3. Joebo

          would always watch Star Trek in my dorm room and after about two weeks had both my musclehead roommate and his buddy watching with me almost every day.

        4. Roborat

          What do you mean again, I never stopped watching, and never made any excuses for it. I now have the box sets for Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Pinky and the Brain, the Tic, etc. Must say I haven`t found much on the air right now as good as those old shows.

          When I was living in residence at university (30 year ago) almost the entire building would watch the Muppet Show at 430 every afternoon, then there would be a mass stampede to the cafeteria. These are the people who are running the country right now.

        5. Rusty_Unycorn

          Well that’s understandable. The Muppet Show is awesome.

      2. maggiemarmalade

        The only thing that brought our entire house-dorm together was gathering around the toob watchin the Simpsons at dinner.

  23. Wackd

    So…is it just me or does Walky look horribly, horribly sleep deprived in the third panel? It would explain why his brain isn’t quite working to it’s usual standard.

    Love is another possible explanation, but it doesn’t explain the bags under his eyes.

    1. Jabberwocky

      I think it’s to convey that his eyes are wide.

      Y’know, with smitteness.

    2. Ragnal

      What Jabber said. It’s the same look, more or less, Walky had in that guest strip Willis did where he volunteered to say ‘menstrual cycle’ for Joyce.

  24. agentksilver

    In my experience this approach works for about three weeks. Then he’d better come up with a new tactic.

  25. Dedlok

    I just love the “I GIVE TO YOU!” at the end.

  26. Undrave

    Dumbass :p

  27. Milosh

    Thank you for using the word “snarkiness”! I was distraught when I recently learned that snarky, and derivations thereof, is a word that just barely exists outside of my personal vocabulary.

    1. Rowen Morland

      Really? I use those all the time. I think I picked it up from my mother.

      1. Rusty_Unycorn

        Your Sarah avatars are perfect for that. WILLIS WILL GIVE THEM TO YOUR FAAAAAACE.

        1. Rusty_Unycorn

          I just realized that I made no sense there. The worst part?

          I have no excuse.

  28. Black Bumblebee

    I don’t think that Dorothy is a “fan,” I just think she thinks its kinda neat. She mentions she thought it was funny “the FEW times she’s seen it.” That means, she enjoys it, but isn’t necessarily a “fan”

    Walky, on the other hand… he seems more the type to post on forums at 1 am…

    …wait a minute…

    1. Kamino Neko

      Nah – she just doesn’t want to admit to being a fan She’s not responding to someone else bringing it up – ‘oh, hey, I’ve seen that a few times, it’s not bad’ – she’s talking about it because she has a Dexter and Monkey Master portfolio, and called it her guilty pleasure…then with obvious shame on her face, quite belatedly added ‘when I’ve seen it’.

    2. Jabberwocky

      Yeah, but she’s said it’s her guilty pleasure. A guilty pleasure is something you like quite a bit and are embarrassed because you really like it, not something you’ve encountered just a few times.

  29. Doom Shepherd

    Yep, pretty close to my reaction the first time I met a pretty girl who also liked Star Trek.

    (And I called it… that was my Freshman year in college.)

    Scared the **** out of her.

    I did better the second time… 8 years later.

    1. Malph

      I take a more subtle approach. One that indicates I’m a fellow fan, but doesn’t involve whipping toys at her head.

      It doesn’t work too well.

  30. No0ne

    Now he has clubbed her over the head and can drag her off to his man cave to er… bake a cake with yeeaaaa… CAKE… nice g-rated CAKE…

    1. Cholma

      “It’s a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake!”

      1. Dakhran

        “You gotta do the cooking by the book!”

        1. Richie9999

          Amen to that, also props on the Richard avatar.

        2. Rusty_Unycorn

          CAKE ROLL’D

    2. Roborat

      The cake is a lie, there is never any cake.

      1. Roborat

        You are surrounded by Richard avatars, prepare to be fwoooshed.

  31. Heather

    Smooth Walky, smooth. You really know how to charm the ladies.

    1. Jabberwocky

      ….Said the Joe avatar.

  32. Shift

    Can you say “Restraining order” Dorothy?

    Though I have to admit… there is something adorably kindergarten about Walky’s approach to girls. Not remotely acceptable, but still adorable. Honestly, you’d think he never talked to a girl before.

    1. MM

      Bear in mind, most of his interactions have probably been with Billie and/or Sal. Throwing things from a distance and blurting out whatever you have to say so that you can run for it is probably the safest means of communication.

      1. Shift

        But he hasn’t seen Sal in forever, and went to a regular school with Billie. One would think he’s managed to have interaction with girls during the 13 years prior of education.

        1. Grrt

          Keep in mind that he doesn’t quite see Billie as “a girl” as much as it is “Billie, that girl I’ve known forever and who currently has a drinking problem”

        2. Shift

          True, but what I meant was, it’s not like he went to a Boys Only school. He had to have had SOME sort of female interaction besides Billie.

  33. Lycinder

    I feel slightly sorry for Dorothy one lovestruck baffoon to the next.

  34. Jabberwocky

    Oh, Walky.

    1. Jabberwocky

      Note: The post button is being obscured, so I have to reply to my own post to post this…

      I wonder what the D&MM toyline would look like?

      http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7381/dmmcat.png

      Maybe something like this? (DMMV = a vehicle toy; DMC/DMCV = “classic” toys being reissued)

      (Toyline assumes the Cheese and the Martians, as well as generic Aliens, are D&MM characters)

      I threw that together in paint.

  35. MrGBH

    walky’s making an enemy of every girl in the college one by one, isn’t he? And because of him, Dorothy and Joyce have instant bondage.

    1. MrGBH

      I meant instant bonding. BONDING DAMMIT!

      1. JackNapier

        Freudian slip much?

    2. R

      Joyce’s eyes darted around the room dark room. She found breathing difficult as she was gagged and almost terrified. She wasn’t going anywhere though, as she was tied to a chair; she wondered how long she would have to wait.

      “Why hello Joyce,” a black leather-clad Dorothy said with an arrogant grin on her face. “So, what do you think of this ‘instant bondage’?”

      “MhhFhmmMhhh,” Joyce tried to say, to no avail.

      “Yeah, it’s not really my thing either,” Dorothy confessed, adjusting her glasses. She leaned over, carefully to not let anything fall out of her corset, as she untied Joyce.

      “Thanks for untying me,” Joyce said, as soon as the ballgag was removed.

      “Don’t mention it,” Dorothy replied, looking around to see if she could find real clothes that weren’t made of leather. “Hey, do you remember what chapter we have to read for tomorrow?”

      “Yeah,” Joyce said, stretching as being tied to a chair wasn’t comfy. “Chapter two.”

      “Thanks,” Dorothy said. “I’ll see you in class then.”

      1. Rusty_Unycorn

        Oh. My. Goddess. My thanks, I GIVE IT TO YOU.

      2. Joebo

        To borrow a phrase: This is full of win.

      3. MrGBH

        This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read.

      4. Heather

        Utter excellence!

      5. maggiemarmalade

        This is full of THIS.

        face

  36. Gianni

    …Mr. Monkey?

  37. zuche

    It could have been worse.

    He could have offered her Head Alien.

    1. Jabberwocky

      Now THAT would’ve been ironic.

  38. Rowen Morland

    How’d they get together in the other universe anyway?

    1. R

      I think they went to high school together, she got to know him more.

  39. Richie9999

    Walky is attempting to get the attention of the opposite gender and court a female. “He is successful. The female wonders about his diet.”

    Also, an ad at the bottom of the screen keeps covering the post button.

  40. Zagreus

    Something interesting just occurred to me.

    Remember how in Joyce and Walky! Dorothy was told by the Head Alien that she needed to be with Walky instead of Joyce, as Joyce would eventually kill Walky if they stayed together?

    I think she believed him. I think Dorothy somehow got herself into a new timeline and is very subtly attempting to seduce Walky. Everything we’re seeing here might be all just a part of the Head Alien’s master plan.

    Weirder stuff has happened to these characters, you can’t deny it.

  41. Hunter

    “PLEASE ACCEPT THIS!”
    “MUCH OBLIGED THANK YOU!”

    1. Jabberwocky

      Cannot unsee 🙁

      1. Hunter

        You’re welcome.

        1. Gianni

          Awesome

        2. Rusty_Unycorn

          Oh great…
          NONONONO! bad slashfic ideas!

        3. Jabberwocky

          It’s not slashfic if it’s not gay. It’s just a lemon if it’s straight.

        4. Rusty_Unycorn

          what if it’s a toy?

        5. Heather

          To Rusty_Unycorn.

          I’d make a Toy Story joke, but Ethan beat me to it.

  42. sarpiedon

    sooooo Dorothy is flirting with Joyce, huh

  43. Dahlia

    How cute!

    hmmm, Maybe this is the alternate universe Walky and Dorothy end up together (assuming, of course, that the Head alien was telling the truth)?

    But Walky was also a doctor…I don’t think Telecommunications (thats his major, right?) has a doctorate program…

    Guh, confusing.

    1. maggiemarmalade

      DOA is not that universe. I think Dor and Walky went to high school together in that one. Still could happen, though, I guess. David keeps me in the dark about that.

      1. Joebo

        Is there any instant bondage in the dark?

        1. Dahlia

          Pervert! 😛 (kidding, kidding! xD)

      2. Dahlia

        I hope not….I really do…

        only because that would break my allusion of the true love Walky and Joyce share anywhere in any universe…

        I feel so sorry for Dorothy in that universe, though…hope shes less…erm, unfortunate in this universe >//<;;

  44. Grrt

    Y’know, I wish that Mike and Billie were here to lord this moment over Walky for the rest of forever if (Read: When) he crashes and burns…

    1. Grrt

      Gah! Sarah Avatar is not the Billie Avatar I’d been getting…

  45. Feenyksfyre

    Between Dorothy trying to get out of a conversation with Walky and “I GIVE IT TO YOU”, the last two panels made me bust out laughing. 😀

  46. Zachinahat

    ‘Projectile courtship!’
    Walky knows how to woo a lady of the 21st century

  47. Hoop

    Blue Jackal?

    THERE WERE NO DEXTER AND MONKEY MASTER EPISODES ON THAT CD.

  48. Kelvin

    Aww, I LOVE how easily Walky got excited! XDDDD

  49. SHAZAM

    And now we know this is you Willis. Regretting telling us this? Probably not.

  50. RandomPerson12

    Does Walky carry that thing around with him everywhere he goes?

  51. Mousa The 14

    Oh wow it’s like I have no switched webcomc tracks, Walky is exactly the same even in the face of a woman he likes.
