    I can’t wait for Sal to figure out what Billie thinks of her.

    1. LtSaraD

      me too, the funny.

    2. Furie

      I can’t wait for Danny to find out that Sal is Amazigirl. That is an awesome level of badness just waiting to happen.

      1. Somebody

        This really stopped being funny months ago.

        1. Duall

          Well SOMEBODY is a Debbie Downer.

        2. Jim R.

          Wah-wah-waaaaaah

        3. Led

          … or Somebody is Sal, trying to cover the fact that she’s Spidercar!

        4. someguywithakatana

          Every party needs a pooper that’s why they invited yooooou!

          Party Pooooopeeeerrrrr!

        5. Neospector

          Your mom stopped being funny months ago.

          Seriously, tell her to stop making stupid jokes, they really suck.

        6. Chronos

          She would. For a nickel. From Mike.

        7. Rogue of Space

          This is the first time jokes have run this long without utterly pissing me off. Keep it up, good peeps. Keep it up 😀

  2. thecanvashat

    Will we see Amazigirls parents?

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      You mean Captain Amazing and Stupendous-Woman?

      1. Yotomoe

        Mighty Mom and Dyno Dad?

        1. thecanvashat

          No, Dyno Dad is Dina’s father. Spelled with a Y because Nineties.

        2. sidhe3141

          Yes, and?

        3. Aizat

          A.M.A.Z.O and The Amazon?

        4. LtSaraD

          nice!

        5. AckAckAck

          Colonel Trouser and Wonder Bra?

    2. John

      Billie just said they were coming.

  3. Wonder Wig

    Sal, making sure the goods are intact in the last panel.

    1. AgentKeen

      Dat ass? Check.

      1. Yotomoe

        Don’t you hate it when you forget to bring the booty?

        1. thecanvashat

          Ah, poo. I left mine on that ship we all abandoned.

        2. Aizat

          Suddenly, krakens.

      2. Somebody

        Her glutes look really toned…she could probably bend a quarter between them.

    2. thecanvashat

      Judging from her expression, they clearly are not.

      1. Somebody

        She’s looking at Billie, so it can’ be that.

  4. EvergreenFir

    Any non-nuclear, intact, happy families gonna show up? I know demographics of college students would have a higher rate of “standard” families… but I’d expect some diversity.

    1. Yotomoe

      I dunno. Mike’s parents are pretty cool. They want to hug everyone.

      1. taekwondogirl

        Uhh… I don’t even see how that’s a response to what EvergreenFir said?

        1. Yotomoe

          Well They’re non-nuclear, intact, and so happy you’d think they’re on drugs.

        2. EvergreenFir

          They are nuclear (as in a mother and father, still together)

        3. Yotomoe

          Oh. I thought Nuclear meant that being together makes them react violently. Like a nuclear reaction or something.

        4. Aizat

          Well, there was a villain team called the Nuclear Family.

        5. lebayum

          You’ve really never heard this term? Red up bra! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_family

        6. Dean

          Also because they are made of plutonium.

        7. Mr. Random

          If you define a nuclear family as having the parents still be together, why did you add ‘intact’?

        8. slicedtoad

          yeah, i’m familiar with the nuclear term but the “intact” part doesn’t make sense…

        9. EvergreenFir

          because I made a mistake

        10. Josh

          Why would you do this?! :O

        11. Twirls

          Well just because the parents are still together doesn’t mean that they family’s intact. There are some pretty messed-up nuclear families out there.

    2. thecanvashat

      Maybe Ethan? Also, would Robin come for Rod?

    3. Plasma Mongoose

      I wonder if any of the cast has gay/lesbian parents.

    4. thecanvashat

      The expression “nuclear family” makes me think of a family of Atomic Skulls.

    5. David

      Man, if you think all of these families are gonna be happy, I don’t think you’ve been here long!

    6. Biege

      well, mayhaps Amber – I guess it depends if her familiy situation is the same in the dumbiverse as the walkyverse.

    7. Valdrax

      Amber at the very least. I hope, considering what her father was like in the Walkyverse.

    8. AJBulldis

      EvergreenFir is right this is the most non-inclusive and heteronormative comic ever. I’m just surprised Willis actually bothers to draw the non-white characters.

      1. EvergreenFir

        harhar… just an observation that a typically inclusive comic is not being so in this case.

        1. David

          …. wait, seriously?

          I’ve introduced three families so far out of a cast of dozens (of which we have already established includes divorced parents and orphans), and you’re already claiming I’m not being inclusive. We’re one week into a storyline that’s probably gonna be about twelve weeks. …and also today’s strip features Billie and Sal both complaining about their own dysfunctional families.

          At first I thought you were just being cautious, but now I think you’re kinda being a jerk.

        2. GoldStarz

          I think they were being sarcastic…

        3. GoldStarz

          I *hope* they were being sarcastic

        4. Yotomoe

          I pray they’re being sarcastic.

        5. Somebody

          They better be.

        6. DudeMyDadOwnsADealership

          Non-nuclear families would include:

          Younger siblings being raised by their older siblings who act as their legal guardians,

          Extended families i.e nuclear families with grandparents, aunts/uncles, cousins included to the family unit,

          Polygamist families,

          Single parent families,

          Adult orphans,

          Families with divorced/separated parents,

          and finally Step-Families.
          Only two of those are free enough of economic challenges or social stigma to jump on the Go-to-a-University-Straight-Out-of-High-School-and-Start-Your-Freshman-Year-Before-You’re-even-Old-Enough-to-Drink-in-the-On-Campus-Dorms bandwagon in the 21st century just as easily as someone of a “standard” family from middle class or higher suburbia. This isn’t Bohemia U. We all can’t get to be Berkley, MIT, Yale or Standford alumni whose dorms were virtual United Nations moots. DoA is about how true that can be.

    Billie is adorable with her hair down. Just sayin’.

    1. Yotomoe

      Billie is always adorable.

      1. Totz the Plaid

        Replace the word “adorable” with “smokin’ hot” and I agree 100%.

        1. Aizat

          You took the words right out of my mouth.

        2. Josh

          Word.

    2. LimeTH

      Agreed

    3. NeutroBlaster

      Yes I was thinking that as well.

    4. rachel

      yaaaay for real

    5. Totz the Plaid

      Truth.

    6. GoSpeedRumpist

      I would totally go lesbian for her, and I’m not even a girl.

      1. Mr. Random

        …Mr. Garrison

      2. Ray

        Sounds like me…. a lesbian trapped in a man’s body.

        1. Somebody

          No.

      3. Jack Finch

        Paging Eddie Izzard.

    7. Josh

      Well unlike all of these other fools, I totally disagree! Billie looks so much cuter with the ponytail.

      1. Kernanator

        Agreed!

  6. Animal

    Billie should leave her hair down. And cleavage. Oh yeah.

    1. Yotomoe

      Gotta remind the Walkertons why they like her so much.

      1. showler

        She’s making herself look nice for her morning “check” on Ruth.

      2. The Candyman

        Because that’s not creepy at all.

        1. John

          The Walkerton she’s showing off her cleavage for is Sal.

          Sadly, Sal’s missing that conversation, too.

  7. BayoWolf

    “college girl shirts” gives actual shirts for bing too. For the most part. Kinda.

    1. NightmareWarden

      Well, he didn’t specify that they had to be WEARING the shirts…

  8. ArkhamTexan

    Billie, if you wanna leave your hair down… that’s OK. I won’t admonish you.

  9. Gram91

    Sadly Sal, we got the entire context of the conversation. Man, Billie needs to check her prescription.

    1. Yotomoe

      She’s got a pretty strong perscription…of Beer Goggles.

  10. Ragnal

    Amazi-Girl. That’s what she means. She thinks that you’re AMAZI-GIRL Y-…no, no, don’t want that again…

    1. Totz the Plaid

      No matter how hard you yell, they can’t hear you. Also, the comic’s been written at least two months ahead of now. Even if you could affect things, they wouldn’t come into effect for at least 56 strips.

      1. TurtlyLooker

        Damn that Willis, and his incredible devotion to his craft!

        It’s so hard to wrap my head around the idea that the whole of the parents-visiting storyline is already written, and exists.

  11. Kernanator

    Ah, Billie, always so fine.

    Also, something about parents? Whatever, THAT BILLIE.

    1. Yotomoe

      She’s fine like wine, want to make her mine.

      1. Kernanator

        Hey Billie, you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind, hey Billie!

        1. Aizat

          You know how long I wanted to keep that song out of my head?

        2. The Aussie Bloke

          Arrrgh! Damn you!

        3. vlademir1

          Heh. Doubly appropriate song considering her history and it’s cheer related nature.

  12. Uniqueantique

    Have Billie and Sal ever been on the same wavelength? Seems to me all of their conversations never take place between them: more often over their heads, around corners, or off to the side?

    1. Biege

      I cannot help but assume that is intentional 🙂

  13. zomgvampires

    Is it just me, or does Sal’s curly hair get more awesome every time I see it?

    1. saltchocolate

      Not just you! Her unpressed hair is her secret weapon of sexiness. Was. We all kinda know now. But it’s still dangerous!

    2. sumolegend

      The explodey, unfettered version was the zenith for me. I am going to miss the luxurious chocolate river.

    3. Nik

      Yeah, I am kind of wondering if she’ll put it back, or if this is a permanent change/upgrade (like Ruth’s eyes). I like the hair, but for some reason it seems.. out of character for her to keep it not straight, after having it that way for so long. Does that make sense?

      1. zomgvampires

        It makes sense. Considering I caught myself up on It’s Walky (and saving to buy Joyce and Walky) recently, it DOES seem a bit out of character, but I dunno… it’s weird ’cause then again, it works for DoA Sal. Willis is always going to surprise us, and everything so far? He has yet to disappoint (if he ever will). He’s an awesome writer and artist, so even something as small as a hair style change will end up becoming a part of that character.

        tl;dr
        Sal is awesome curly hair or straight hair- at least she still has her windows. 😀

    4. timemonkey

      I still think it looks ugly.

  14. PoweredBySucrose

    Nah, if she did the vigilante thing openly, the authorities would just make her stop. What she needs is just enough deniability. She should just do her vigilantism wearing a paper-thin disguise that anyone who’s paying any attention at all could see through.

  15. Mkvenner

    Is Billie legally blind?

  16. Aizat

    You know, I’d be surprised if Mr. and Mrs. Walkerton visited Sal first.

  17. Tristan J

    I am just in awe of Billie’s line in panel 2. So perfectly constructed.

    1. Crimson Doom

      I’m in agreement. That is one of the best play on words I’ve ever heard.

      Too bad it’s a disgruntled commentary on apparently ineffective parents.

  18. nothri

    Willis, if your not finding porn on the internet via a google search, your clearly doing it wrong…..right?….wrong?….weird. Your doing it weird.

  19. nothri

    Mike and Billie’s mom would get along great from the sound of it. For a nickel, naturally.

  20. JA

    Salbutt

  21. Justnobody

    I love this comic. Slight boobage, clever word play, and junk examining. It’s like Willis knows all of my happy thoughts and puts them into one comic.

  22. Ziaheart

    That shirt is really sexy on Billie. Especially because the stripes are skin-coloured. Makes me think of those sheer shirts that are so in these days.

    1. Totz the Plaid

      That shirt is really sexy on Billie because it’s on Billie.

      No other reason needs to be claimed.

      1. Josh

        Billie can make anything look sexy.

        1. Kernanator

          Billie can make wearing a paper bag look sexy.

  23. Megatron

    I had forgotten 1) that Billie and Sal were roommates (which is weird, ‘cuz it was kind of a plot point for a few weeks at the beginning, and 2) that she thought Amazi-Girl was Sal.

    Which is weird, because it’s pretty clear to me that Amazi-Girl is Faz. That’s why we haven’t seen Faz yet, all his scenes are as Amazi-Girl. I’m pretty sure that Willis is going to wait a few years to reveille it.

    1. Optimus Prime

      I was rather hoping Amazi-girl would turn out to be Ultra-car.

      1. Megatron

        Ultra-car is just a regular SUV with no intelligence in this universe. Just like most Autobots.

        1. C.

          I hope Ultra-Car’s human form appears here under a human name.

      2. bumblebee

        *turns on radio station* whaaaaaaa

    2. The Candyman

      Nah, Amazi-Girl is Danny.

      What, you’ve never seen Fight Club?

      1. AJBulldis

        THAT WOULD BE THE FUNNIEST AND MOST TWISTED THING.

        Even worse because of the few others who have seen her.

    3. Somebody

      Dude not funny…you sholdn’t kid about Amazi-girl not really being a she.

  24. NightmareWarden

    Billie, how are your glasses doing that? They usually have sidearms that rest on your ears, but they’re gone.
    Billie are you… are you a wizard?

  25. Kay

    Is it just me, or have Sal’s boobs gotten smaller from the beach trip. I’m looking at the site banner featuring her boobs and am thinking something is amiss.

    1. begbert2

      Maybe *that’s* why I think she looks sexier with the smooth, flowing wave of hair!

  26. Just for kix

    Cleavage!

    1. Arkadi

      Cleavage, thy name is Billie.

  27. Wack'd

    oh my god

    this is how danny and sal get together in this universe isn’t it

    1. Kernanator

      Mutual bonding over hatred of parents? Or bafflement of what’s going on around them?

      1. John

        While Sal’s wearing a disguise and roughing up muggers under a pseudonym?

        1. Kernanator

          Well, evidence does suggest it’s the fastest way to his heart.

        2. timemonkey

          I’d say the evidence points to the fastest way to his heart is to look like his ex.

  28. inkwell

    Somehow Jason’s going to meet Mr. and Mrs. Walkerton and it’s going to be wonderfully awkward.

  29. flaglo

    so many bad things jjst waiting to happen

  30. ALLxISxGONE

    someone pass me the angry chainsaw, I’ve catch up again… i need to cut something up

  31. CJ

    Are you all stupid? Amazi-Girl is obviously Amber! Sal is slimmer hotter while Amber is the same hair body and build! TAKE A PICTURE OF EACH PERSON THEN PUT THEM SIDE BYE SIDE!!!!! Plus why would Sal sneak out to play on a DS with a boy? SHE SNEAKS OUT TO HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS AND SMOKE!!!!’ Your all Bert not smart!

    1. Khrene Cleaver

      I dunno mang, I think Ambers hotter.

    2. Josh

      Amber looks nothing like Amazi-Girl, I have no idea what you’re talking about?

  32. CJ

    Sal ain’t the type that games. While Amber is. I was right when I said America is getting stupider then it already was (While ago don’t ask)
