    Dorothy is such a neeeeeeeeeeeeeerd. And that’s awesome.

    1. Jackson

      She’s even doing the voices!

      1. Blob Marley

        And the *FACES*.

        1. Larkeith

          Don’t you mean the *FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACES* ?

  2. Wonder Wig

    How very Ethan of you Walky.

    1. Khantalas

      Ethan doesn’t seem to be too into online fandoms and wiki wars in Dumbing of Age, though, does he?

      1. Historyman68

        That’s the Ethan who grew up closeted in the 80s- there’s all sorts of nature/nurture shit going on here.

      2. Blob Marley

        Well, we did see transformers in his posession. Remember when Joyce dismissed the idea that Ethan was gay because his toys weren’t dolls?

        1. Wonder Wig

          I wonder if there’s Monkey Master/Transformers rivalry in this universe.

        2. Blob Marley

          The two fill pretty distinct niches in the fandom, I think. It’s not as though Dexter the Head Alien drives a Go-bot to work, after all.

        3. NomadPrime

          heh, Trukk vs. Munky

  3. Jen Aside

    Aww, their first fight =D

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      and not likely to be their last when it comes to this subject.

  4. Khantalas

    A battle of the geeks!

    ((Make out. Make out NOW.))

    1. Tristan J

      Has that ever worked?

      1. Khantalas

        Once, on a webcomic.

        1. Ravencrowe

          NOW KISS!

  5. Plasma Mongoose

    I wonder if this will result in Slap Slap Kiss.

    1. Aizat

      No, nerd fight then kiss.

      1. Khantalas

        Nerd fights do involve sissy slaps and foam swords.

    2. mechaqua

      Then Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Only if we’re lucky. 😀

      2. Aizat

        Bang bang? Shooting or a group activity?

        1. Shippy McShipper

          Yes.

        2. Aizat

          *shoots Shippy* Freaking smart ass.

    3. meanderling

      Geeky turn-on?

  6. Bunk

    Walky is not impress.

    1. What?

      I are dissapoint.

      1. Blob Marley

        Im 12 and what this

        1. bethluvsbooks

          Shes base are belong to him

    2. Henry

      His expression in the last panel looks suspiciously like a Walky Trollface.

  7. xaan

    People demand that I recite the last Harry Potter movie when I joke that I have it memorized. They then learn that I’m not exactly joking.

    Two measly lines ain’t gonna cut it, Dorothy.

    1. Bekah

      I can do that with Empire Strikes Back, but I need prompting sometimes.

      1. mechaqua

        For me its the Big Lebowski.

        1. Tristan J

          mechaqua, this isn’t ‘Nam. This is the comments section of Dumbing of Age. There are rules.

        2. mechaqua

          Tristen J, ya know, it’s me, so my toe slipped over the line a little big deal It’s just a game, man.

        3. Tristan J

          I’d say I like your new gravatar, but that’s, just, like, my opinion man.

        4. Fauxlosopher

          I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.

        5. Madock345

          For Me, it’s usually books that I wind up memorizing, not movies. for instance, I have recited the entire first chapter of “So you Want to be a Wizard” from memory. I think I could go farther, but I never got the chance.

        6. Blob Marley

          Down Periscope for me.

          “someone just dropped… 45 cents. A quarter and… two dimes.”

          I’ve seen that damn movie so many times I can actually mimic Sonar mimicing whale calls. Pitch-correct.

        7. fellixe

          Real Genius. “…and Kent. STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF!”
          “It IS Jesus!”

      2. Björn

        I can pretty much recite Spaceballs. And, like so many others, Mony Python and the Holy Grail.

    2. Jetstream

      Transformers: The Movie is my quotable. I can recreate at least 80% of that flick… I can even do it in order if I have the musical score playing.

      The one from 1986 mind, not the new ones.

    3. moonracer

      I could do this with Fight Club, but I’m not allowed.

      1. Zuche

        Well played.

    4. Wack'd

      The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy over here. I used to be able to do the whole thing, but now I’m down to pretty much the Prologue. It’s been too long.

    5. Patrick McGraw

      Conan the Barbarian (the first one, obviously).

      1. Henry

        Can’t recite a whole book start to finish, but I can do some big chunks of several of the Dresden Files and Belisarius books.

      2. Roborat

        For me, Holy Grail, Johnny Dangerously, Army of Darkness, Princess Bride and Pirates of Penzance.

        1. fellixe

          Johnny Dangerously, a movie that never got the acclaim it truly should have. Like Top Secret.

        2. das-g

          Inconceivable!

          SCNR:-P

    6. Charlie Spencer

      Jesus Christ, Superstar, including the two songs that were added for the movie and aren’t in the original stage production

  8. Cranberrier

    Oh god, I hope these two date. So adorable.

  9. Doctor_Who

    Okay, that’s just plain awesome.

  10. mechaqua

    Dorothy just got burned!

  11. Tristan J

    This is actually better than them playing with the dolls. Actually, the way it’s going, it’ll probably end with them playing with the dolls.

    1. Blob Marley

      Show me on the Dotty where the Monkey Master touched your doll.

  12. Aizat

    So? I watched Transformers:The Movie five times and I can memorized about half of the dialog.

  13. NCP19

    Did he edit it…with his penis?

    1. Bunk

      For a nickel.

      1. mechaqua

        with your mom.

        1. XMD

          in her FAAAACE.

        2. Nightwolf

          For Journalism.

        3. Blob Marley

          Using only his femurs.

        4. Izzy

          Butts

        5. Blob Marley

          You win this round, Izzy.

    2. Plasma Mongoose

      Wouldn’t that mess up your touchscreen? 😛

      1. mechaqua

        Perhaps Walky uses a keyboard.

        1. Plasma Mongoose

          Like a sticky keyboard would be any better.

        2. mechaqua

          I think alot of boys use sticky keyboards and it doesn’t seem to stop them.

        3. Blob Marley

          Mechaqua, I can’t tell if your name means “robot water” or if it’s a play on the “macaque” or both. Whatever the case… GENIUS.

        4. fellixe

          Always puts me in mind of that Mexican carne asada and scrambled egg dish.

  14. Leorale

    She did perform them well, though!

  15. Ridureyu

    Uh oh, WIKI FIGHT!

    Is this gonna be like the Ethan vs. David fight we had in a certain other unnamed comic?

    1. Aizat

      If so, is mud going to be involved?

      1. Historyman68

        Wasn’t it pudding?

        1. Aizat

          Pudding? Oh right! Sorry about that, my memory must have failed me.

    2. Roborat

      Just so long as they don’t end up on TVTropes, this strip is slow enough as it is.

  16. Sporkaganza

    Dang, Walky kinda did a 180 with respect to Dorothy.

    1. Jetstream

      Cuz he’s in a comfort zone right now. Don’t worry, his mind will shatter shortly.

      1. ryan

        if only he was wearing pajama jeans in the comfort zone.

  17. Chiatroll

    This can only lead to sex.

  18. Atcote

    Welp, that’s the foreplay out of the way. Now to discuss who your favourite voice actor for Monkey Master was and it’s officially coitus.

    1. fellixe

      Don’t know about Monkey Master, but Head Alien is a role just dying for Mark Hamill.

      1. Osaru Sensei

        Just For Pun he should be voiced by Powers Boothe.

        1. Zuche

          Oh, Grod, that was awful.

      2. Roborat

        Really, in my head it is Bruce Campbell, although Patrick Warburton would be a good alternative.

        1. fellixe

          There’s really only one Monkey Master voice for me. Michael Clarke Duncan.

    2. Wack'd

      Head Alien is played by Jon Lovitz, obviously.

      1. Wack'd

        Confirmed.

  19. RaijinK

    Of all the things to carry over from the Walkyverse, “Dorothy possessed by the Head Alien” is the last thing I would have expected.

  20. Pivitor

    When/how did Walky get the upper hand over Dorothy?! His transformation from drooling idiot to this is amazing.

    1. Blob Marley

      It’s almost as though somehow, the revelation that she’s not a virgin has rid Walky of his previous terror. That or, as I’ve advanced numerous times before, he’s an evil fucking genius and his “rictus of horror” face was his way of making Dotty make the first move.

      1. NotShane

        Oh no, it’s the comfort zone. It’s his World, and Dorothy’s just sauntering in it.

        1. Blob Marley

          But he’s been showing more confidence around her in a lot of different situations.

  21. Kernanator

    Everybody watch out! Soon the foam swords and plastic missiles are going to come out!

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Don’t forget the Nerf guns.

    2. Roborat

      Foam Swords? Plastic Missiles? Is that what the young kids are calling it nowadays?

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Sometimes men even call them Super-Soakers. 😀

  22. Blob Marley

    It’s shit like this, Walky. It’s shit like this that shows us you’re secretly a goddamn evil genius.

  23. Kaylee

    Every single facial expression on this page is priceless. XD

  24. Blob Marley

    I just realized… I’ve started reading Dotty’s lines and hearing the voice of Fionna from that one episode of Adventure Time.

  25. Kernanator

    Got it memorized?

  26. Angel

    Is it just me or did Walky just use reverse psychology on dorothy?

  27. DK1105

    Yea this is me with futurama. Its quite bad when you can quote commentary lines.

    1. Tristan J

      “That is the nerdiest thing in the universe.”

      1. Tristan J

        Damn it, the internet lets me down again.

        “… But it’s only the fifteenth nerdiest thing in Futurama.”

  28. Azukar

    I’m starting to think we’re watching a Masterclass in slow seduction here…

  29. Oresthin

    Thank You! I’m still wondering how Walky got so much game. Yes it’s nerd game, but game none the less!

  30. GenericScreenName101

    Tread lightly Walky, your messing with a woman with something to prove andshe just might shut you up with her wikipedia knowledge

  31. Beachfox

    Geek Flirting is the best Flirting. <3

  32. FossilLord

    I like to think I am a propponant of this webcomic but why do peopple wait until midnight to post in the comics section?

  33. Tarkada

    I now feel both sad and dumb for checking to see if Willis had actually made a Wikipedia entry for this with a full episode synopsis and dialogue…my expectations were apparently to high.

    1. Blob Marley

      Well, most episodes of shows don’t have their own detailed wikipedia entries. Usually, there will be a wiki specifically dedicated to a show and with an affectionate nickname (this one would probably be Dexterpedia or Monkeypedia or Headpedia). On those specific wikis, they go much more in-depth on the details of each episode, because, unlike the original wikipedia, they’re not restricted by “must have citations in news or journal articles” or whatever.

  34. Kelsey

    The most rigorous courting process.

  35. AJBulldis

    I used to have Jurassic Park memorized. That and several commercials, most of them involving Barbie or pain medication.

    Oh, and I memorized the Monopoly board, but not the Chance or Community Chest cards.

  36. sandbridgekid

    Jeff Wayne’s “War of the Worlds” for me: ‘No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless world of space’.. btw met my wife correcting her version of the Horta episode from Star Trek TOS while passing her & other nerdlings in hallway at uni. Walky/Dotty: “Open the Pod Bay doors, Hal”

  37. Joebo

    Am I the only one to notice that he appears to be wearing a “butttaco.org” t-shirt?

    1. Joebo

      Sorry, that’s butt-taco.org

  38. Henry

    Thus begins the Nerd-Off!

  39. Zobot

    To quote Robin from a completely different strip:

    MAKE OUT ALREADY!

    1. Zuche

      Not until they’re both quivering with anticip–

      1. Zuche

        –pation.

  40. Blackmage835

    OOHH SHIT DOROTHY!!! Walky is calling you out!

    Step up and show him what’s what!!

  41. MR C

    these two are about to have angry sex

  42. turkishproverb

    Wow. Those two are cute together.

  43. davidbreslin101

    Hang on. These two have been in a wiki editing war? I think we know how this plays out. There will be custard.

  44. jererry

    Nerd burn!

  45. BlueMario

    Unfortunatly, I SUCK at describing how the voices sound in my head.

    Dexer (done by dorothy) sort of sounds like a boy version of Hermoine from the Harry Potter movies, though (young Hermoine, not adult)

  46. Arkadi

    I’ve got such a big smile on my face right now C: Like, reeeeeeally big.

  47. Wack'd

    Anyone else tempted to make a Dexter & Monkey Master TV Tropes page (y’know, like the Disney’s Anne Frank and Inspector Spacetime pages?)

    1. Wack'd

      Well, it took me over a year, but here it is.

  48. Aegon01

    Walky MIGHT be the Zen master of the slow game. We’ll have to see how that works out.

  49. fangrider

  50. allybally

    aww, walky’s acting like a normal person around dorothy. thats so cute.

  51. ProjectXa3

    So… Head Alien’s real name is Dexter?

  52. Dragoonchris

    I knew that she was a fan of the series but I didn’t suspect her be a huge geek.

    LOL, Wiki edits wars. Are they go to fight in pudding?

  53. Twirls

    This is so unbelievably cute. I feel like something’s going to go terribly wrong.

  54. Rory

    Oooh bickering about their nerd cred. They’re gonna make out soon.

  55. Rabid Rabbit

    I only just noticed that in the penultimate panel, Dorothy’s managed to make her left hand in HA’s claw. It’s really quite impressive.

  56. DarkoNeko

    Aaah. As a Wikipédia editor, I am finally represented in comics !
