Jennifer was extremely irresponsible as far as we’ve seen her. This isn’t really a clap back moment. This should have been a ‘why do people think that poorly of me?’ moment.
Billie was a human disaster. Jennifer seems like she’s trying to change to become a good person. People do change, especially in a transitional points in life, like college.
Pylgrim
People can definitely change, but taking offense because people don’t start believing in their new self after the first display of change is rather arrogant.
motorfirebox
I think Billie would have stayed as well. Billie’s good traits are mostly kept behind breakable glass in case of emergency. Jennifer seems to be trying to let those good traits out in non-emergency situations.
Lars
Billie and maybe Jennifer was a desaster to herself only. Whenever she could care about other people she does. Some of her caring went downwards becaus her alcohol to blood ratio, but even in the first Ryan incedent she cared.
She’s *usually* been extremely irresponsible but there’s a huge “but” which we’ve seen before – when Joyce was roofied, it was Billie who was instantly there, being super responsible, focused on the practical issues of Joyce’s health rather than worrying about police and hospitals and so on. She was always an absolute dumpster fire of a person when it came to herself, and she was completely emotionally unavailable, but when faced with someone else’s practical problem, she clicked into her “head cheerleader, problem solver” mode. She’s still got all the same problems as before (except she’s maybe solved her alcohol problem?) but when she’s able to help people, she steps up to the plate and sees it through.
Fuzzy
Billie wasn’t great when Joyce was roofied (and especially not the morning after). Sarah was the one who really took charge. She made and executed a plan while everyone was standing around not sure what to do.
seems like despite knowing each other for a decade(?), or so, compared to sal and the brief kidnapping drama, i guess walky hasn’t especially had a ‘hard’ life where he needed anyone to ‘be there for him’ or so (did we see how he reacted to jennifer’s dui at all?)
Pretty much, Linda might have favored him but her brand of nurture left him very dependent and sheltered. In away his upbringing was similar to Joyce’s minus religion.
There’s a reason she doesn’t like hanging out with him. Neither of them sees each other at their best often because that’s just the style relationship they have. They bicker, they know what buttons to press. This is what Jennifer was talking to Joyce about at the doctor’s office. Walky is one of those people that won’t let her change, because just interacting brings out that side of her. The parts of her personality he knows and loves, but parts Jennifer’s trying to change about herself.
And vice versa, Jennifer doesn’t often see the more emotionally mature aspect of Walky. The difference is he’s not trying to change who he is. He’s comfortable being Walky. Which is great, but not what Jennifer is trying to do.
What we’ve seen of their relationship has had him being alternately (or even simultaneously) teasing and supportive – from the very beginning in the recent flashback to their first bus to school. We’ve also seen or heard about her pushing him away because he’ll hurt her social standing, but then turning to him again when she’s in need.
We’ve seen her try to support him after the break-up with Dorothy, though it wasn’t very effective.
Nothing about the dui until well after the fact – no flashbacks with him at least.
Noice.
Also, the thing about references – it absolutely amazes me when anyone can draw without them. I’m not terrible at drawing from things I see, but without a model, I just can’t do anything.
So how much experience are we assuming Walky has here?
Cuz, while I like and appreciate the fan art with this, he seems to be lacking in self confidence here that I would expect wouldn’t be so noticeable after Dorothy and possibly Amber.
Not that he should be overconfident, of course.
I just expected him to have done similar positions multiple times by now so shouldn’t be this worried if he’s doing it right.
Based on what we’ve seen Walky do with Dorothy (It’s ambiguous if anything happened with Amber) I can’t say for absolute sure if they ever tried anything all that crazy.
I am probably overdoing it cuz I myself am a virgin so most stuff is new to ME.
My reasoning being that with Dorothy she sorta coached him through it while Billie is sorta throwing him curveballs and throwing him off his game. I could probably give Walky a little more credit but it’s just more fun for me to give them this dynamic. He probably feels like Billie just knows way more than he does about this stuff so he’s feeling a bit more insecure than usual.
😛 But I’m just making excuses.
cbwroses
I figured as much (not the making excuses part).
Z
I think he and Amber only ended up making out and I agree that Dorothy sex is probably quite regulated and very much Dorothy in the lead. So I can see him having some confidence issues.
Well, to Walky’s credit, all you ever do is blow him off, treat being around him like a chore and act like you’re above everything to do with him or who you once were. And HE’S like your oldest friend. So I think it is at least REASONABLE to assume that you would’ve done the minimum and it’s a pleasant surprise that you didn’t.
That’s even, like, exactly the expression on his face. Homie has been nothing but happy for her, this whole time. She just can’t see it, because…well, because absolutely nothing about his general affect has changed, so why would Jennifer notice that he isn’t acting the same?
Which also makes it pretty funny that she’s literally doing the exact same thing she is currently griping about it sucking to live through, to Walky, but the comic’s gotta get a laugh, somewhere.
Well to Jen’s credit Walky’s only ever acknowledged or associated with the worst aspects of her personality and the version of herself he prefers instead of validating the better person she’s trying to be. So it would be reasonable to say he doesn’t actually know much about what Jennifer is capable of. It would be nice if they both took the time to acknowledge who each other really are for once.
I’m not sure when it comes to these two, I’m sure when it comes to personal growth Jennifer has made a lot of progress but when it comes to the dynamic between them nothing has changed really. Before the time skip it was her in her own world dealing with her own problems with her current lover, no time for Walky and his nonsense. Now it’s her dealing with her problems in her own world with her current lover and still no time for Walkys nonsense and also she goes by Jennifer.
The act of her being caring tawords a friend isn’t a new feature, her being more open and honest about being caring is though. I feel like she changed more with Ruth and at the the start of freshman year than she knows.
That was the only version of herself who interacted with him in even a remotely positive way for five years. She was happy to openly antagonize him in front of the popular clique in high school.
agreeing hard with yotomoe and throwatron here. she’s always been pretty caught up in her own ego and probably has no idea how rude she’s always been to walky (and also i’m sure it’s happened but i’m having trouble remembering when she’s done anything all that kind for people? even getting ruth to the hospital was after weeks of encouraging her death spiral)
She helped Joyce after she was roofied at the party, and with how quickly she went through the steps and knew what to do implies that she’s done it before (and I believe she’s mentioned helping with things like this?) so there’s that. But Walky wasn’t around for that one, and I don’t know if he was ever told about any of it.
I was about to say even she th knows when to cut the bull and prioritize another person when she needs to.
But then I remembered that was only after things got serious and she ditched Joyce and Dorothy at that party alone to get wasted. Fortunately I like to think everyone learned a lesson that night.
She’s definitely scored higher on *saying* she helps than actually helping. Not even necessarily that she’s lying, but her skillset hasn’t matched up well with her college experiences (except that one time when Joyce was roofied).
On the one hand, yes he isn’t as familar with “Jennifer” and her sudden decision to… do something else. On the other, he has known her since elementary school and up until recently hung out.
So acknowledging her new attitude, can anyone explain what she means in the last panel?
She’s offended he thinks she’s the kind of person who would leave a friend in pain alone. Because he should know her better (because this has nothing to do with the new person she’s trying to be).
To be fair she seems to be making an effort to cut him out of her life (though that seems to be easing up since he started dating her roommate), its hardly unreasonable to assume she’s doing that with all her old friends
timemonkey
He’s not physically suffering though.
Needfuldoer
And emotional suffering is different because…?
thejeff
He’s not even really emotionally suffering – other than having been worried about her and missing their old friendship.
Back in the last semester she did try to help him after he and Dorothy broke up.
Z
Walky has also been kidnapped. He’s had to face that his parents are possibly racist and have mistreated his sister. He’s had to face he’s been a shitty brother. He’s stood up to his mom which is big and scary for him. He’s trying to be a superhero which is basically a giant red flag in this comic.
He also only hasn’t failed a class because the girl who stabbed his sister hacked his grades. Plus now his girlfriend’s roommate and childhood friend is currently dating the guy who called the cops on his sister.
Like sure when you compare it to Becky, Walky isn’t dealing with much. But compared to your average college freshman – Walky has been dealing with a crapton of emotional pain and because of his attitude, no one really notices.
thejeff
Certainly true. Not to mention an abusive roommate. Who died saving his (semi) girlfriend.
And he’s surely good at hiding any of that emotional pain. Since we time-skipped soon after most of that happened – especially the kidnapping and standing up to mom – we don’t really know how Jennifer interacted with him when he was likely at the worst in terms of needing support.
I will point out that he did apparently manage to catch up and pass the class – Amber’s hacking only changed his early quizzes. He would have needed to pass the midterm and final at least in order to move on to this year.
Taffy
Yeah, but that’s male pain, so it doesn’t count in American society. He should just toughen up and get a real job. Other people have problems too, so he needs to get over himself and stop being affected. Doesn’t he know that other people have more extreme things going on, can’t he just take a back seat and quit being an attention hog?
(I shouldn’t have to say that this is sarcasm or that I’m aware nobody said it, but some of y’all can’t be trusted sometimes.)
Her vibe is, he SHOULD know she’d do that, he shouldn’t be surprised.
Which is either, this behaviour is consistent with how she’s acted in the past,
OR
she’s lying to herself about the kind of person she’s BEEN, perhaps in an effort to believe in the person she’s Trying to be,
Or Maybe,
it’s not consistent with past behaviour, but a person who Knows Her should have Seen that the Good Friend was There All Along, underneath the teenage fuckup.
I’d say it’s consistent with how she see’s herself and it’s even consistent with how she’s acted to some in the past – particularly her flock of cheerleaders in high school, along with a few glimpses in the first semester.
But it’s not how she’s acted to Walky, so he’s surprised.
Walky doesn’t actually know her. The version of Jennifer he thinks he knows isn’t actually her, mostly because she specifically treated him like crap because he’s like a brother to her. The whole idea that Jennifer is a selfish person who lacks compassion is just wrong. She is 100 percent the type of person to take care of people. That was the basis of her last relationship. Taking care of Ruth, caring too much about her well-being and getting too invested in a somewhat toxic relationship. Even now she still cares about Ruth, and her friends. There was a whole storyline where Jennifer just decided to try and be the dorm’s problem solver.
Walky doesn’t realize or acknowledge this because Jen and him have a specific relationship akin to that of him and Sal. He probably doesn’t realize how sensitive Sal truly is either and just thinks of her as the tough, cool sibling. That’s what’s happening here.

I really don’t get these takes, like Walky is somehow the victim in what is clearly a two-way relationship. Walky is easily at his most annoying when around Jennifer. Like this.
