    That sounds almost as bad as Raccoon AIDS

    1. Wandering Meme

      Raccoons RAPE PEOPLE?!?!?

      1. Xalticus

        I think it’s more so the exact opposite of that which is the source of the problem.

        1. wererat2000

          what’s truly shocking about this comment is how little surprise i could muster.

        2. Wandering Meme

          You’re right, i’m assuming too much…

          Raccoons HAVE UNPROTECTED SEX WITH HUMANS?!?!?!?

        3. Despite Rage

          Wouldn’t it be more impressive if they used protection?

          Heh… “tool” using mammals

        4. Rowen Morland

          Yeah but its bad form to assume the raccoons will bring the birth control. Both parties need to show a sense of responsibility.

      2. SlenderTroll

        Nope! Just Chuck Testa.

        1. AndaisQ

          Exclamation point used in a sentence said by Chuck Testa?

          Nope. It’s Chuck Testa.

      3. Jetstream

        No, that’s Dolphins.

    2. Jason

      It’s better than Butts Disease.

  2. Kurai Seraphim

    Good call Walky, Taids is a serious problem in this day and age.

    1. Jen Aside

      So… would breast aids be Braids?

      1. Jenny Creed

        Or Baids, which is portentous seeing as we’re probably heading for a storyline where one or more character

        . . .

        bathes.

      2. hamstap85

        but… but… you get Band AIDS from healing stuff!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

  3. David Herbert

    Beach episode? I’m guessing Joyce’s will be a 30s full body thing.

    1. wynne

      Dammit, you beat me to it.

  4. Jen Aside

    Or Worthington’s Syndrome! D=

    1. ubun7u43v3r

      ^THIS!^

  5. Plasma Mongoose

    Looks like there will be an increase in the fanservice quotient very soon.

    1. dchorror

      But will it be enough? Stay tuned.

      1. Roborat

        What are you saying? There can never be enough fan service!

        1. MichaelHaneline

          Yes there can.
          Ever heard of the webcomic Exposure?

        2. lokitsu

          God dammit! I just HAD to google Exposure and now it cannot be unseen!
          Next time can you warn a guy?

        3. Zababcd

          …resisting the temptation to google Exposure…

  6. Compass

    Walky going with a bunch of girls to the beach. I see where this is going.

    A horror movie.

    1. Plasma Mongoose

      Will Walky be the one to die first?

      1. Wandering Meme

        nah. he’s the comic relief.

        So third or fourth i’m thinking. but only when it’s funny.

      2. Ian

        It could very well be Joe. The ones are planning a sexual encounter are the first to go.

        1. Joraiem

          But Billie’s the drunkard. She’s pretty high on the murder list.

        2. Wandering Meme

          It’s Sarah…simply for lack of a stereotypical black male…

          …Curse you hollywood.

        3. Ian

          No, she gets shot by a deputy Sheriff at the end.

        4. Wandering Meme

          Ahhh…my mistake.

          Still, curse you hollywood. I still haven’t forgiven them for Deep Blue Sea…Star wars Episode 3 maybe, but never deep blue sea…

          I mean c’mon! Samuel L. WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS INSPIRING SPEECH!!!!!

        5. Wandering Meme

          No Forgiveness…ever. If only because they let the sharks share him…

        6. hamstap85

          What about Joyce? All she’d do is pray, no actual evasion or attacking.

      3. Osaru Sensei

        Black Funny Dude Dies First

        1. Osaru Sensei

          dammit, it was STRIKE, not just S.

        2. Kat

          HOW DARE YOU LINK TV TROPES??

        3. Osaru Sensei

          “And I, for one, welcome our new insect Internet overlords!”

    2. TPmanW

      Joyce is the only one ensured to survive a horror scenario. Sal might be the one who turns the tables on the chainsaw murderer but she’ll probably die in the “twist” ending where it turns out the bad guys not really dead.

  7. Scoops!

    Anybody know the commercials with the cartoon crow? That feels like a real reference filtered through Walky’s brain.

    1. dchorror

      Dunno. I’m in Illinois and we get a cartoon parrot.

      1. Scoops!

        Okay I found this:
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgqoXKC3zdg

        1. Rex Hondo

          Bingo.

        2. James Rye

          OMG! Starswirl the bearded! oO
          Oh, its just Twilight with her magic trick number 6 or 7.^g^

          @Topic
          Do we get the typical anime beach arc now? :3

        3. JK9000

          Am I misunderstanding something, or are they advertising that their amusement park is as fun as a giant toilet?

        4. MichaelHaneline

          Yup

        5. Professor Zoot

          Aww, Bloomington, summer 1979, waterslide parks every five miles in every direction. Back then you needed a rubber raft because those things would strip the flesh from your skeleton.

    2. Trae Dorn

      There’s more than corn in Indiana…

      1. ShadowDragon

        At Indiana Beaaaaach. Used to have a blast at Monticello…

        1. Trae Dorn

          I’ve never been, but when I was a little kid in Chicago in the 80s, I used to see commercials all the time.

          Now that I live in Indiana, and I see the occasional ad for Indiana Beach, it’s amusing.

      2. Aidenn

        There’s Soy!

    3. jucasjr

      I grew up seeing that commercial all the time! I still think about that tagline sometimes… Willis, this reference made my morning. 🙂

    4. madd

      What comes from being late. I grew up with those commercials. There’s more than corn in Indiana! At Indiana Beeeeach!

    5. Kschenke

      Oh hell yes, that’s a real thing! I’ve lived in Indiana since 1995 and every summer we see commercials for Indiana Beach and that damn crow in the old-timey bathing suit. This comic made me so, so very giddy.

  8. NCP19

    Actually Billie, I don’t think those kind of cartoons are what Walky watches…

  9. A. Colunga

    Don’t play footsies before marriage or else ya get the toe aids!

  10. CP

    They’d better watch out for lake sharks.

    1. MichaelHaneline

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freshwater_shark

  11. Wandering Meme

    Toe aids…hmm…

    So basically its like the beach is raping your foot.

    1. Jamal K.

      Toe AIDS only costs a leg to cure, one way or the other! >:D

  12. Jelli

    But…but there’s more than corn in Indiannnnnna!

    1. David

      YAYYYYY

    2. Shockwave005

      The straw hat. The red and white full-body swimsuit. Ahh, memories of youth…Damn I feel old, now.

    3. Wandering Meme

      …holes?
      …to be “corned”?

  13. Mkvenner

    The syringe to sand ratio is very important.

    1. Mkvenner

      There are however a lot of fossils along the shore.

      1. Plasma Mongoose

        Nothing quite like seeing old half-naked people on the beach. 😛

  14. Thor

    Wait…Dorothy, Billie, Sal, Joyce, and Walky in swimsuits at a beach? Didn’t I see a piece of art from Willis depicting this? And didn’t I see someone alter said artwork so that all the girls’ breasts were showing? This all sounds verra familiar…

    Oh, and they’ll have to bring Dina along. I believe she was in the picture too.

    1. Mkvenner

      Wait, what!?

    2. Thor

      Ah yes. I did see this picture:

      http://itswalky.deviantart.com/gallery/26929205#/d3bcfbr

      You’ll have to find the defaced version on your own.

      1. a99steaksauce

        the defaced was not all that hard to find.

        1. Thor

          I never claimed it would be difficult; I just stated that I wasn’t going to find it for you.

          And actually, there are defaced versions, with one version much more indisputably awesome than the rest. If you see it, you’ll know what I mean.

          Sigh, I miss SMUT WITHOUT WARNING.

        2. Lordphulish

          Why would someone remove the faces? Creepy.

        3. McGruff the Crime Dog

          I couldn’t find it.

        4. Thor

          Just remember the Rules of the Internet. One of them applies here.

        5. Plasma Mongoose

          Ah! Good old Rule 34.

      2. vlademir1

        I could comment on the odds of what happens to be my random wallpaper for this 15 minute period… but it was what reminded me to check DoA and SP just now.

      3. Kalan

        Why are the mallards eyeing Walky’s feet hungrily?

  15. Undrave

    “Everything’s fuckin’ cartoons with you!” is a GREAT expression!

  16. TheDarkEricDraven

    I say this is forshadowing. My prediction is that Joyce will be raped at the beach and get aids. Or at the very least, she will step on a spiky sea urchin. No matter which, the angst level will be the same.

    1. Thor

      A freshwater sea urchin?

      1. Rex Hondo

        Sewer Urchin.

        1. MichaelHaneline

          that has AIDS.

  17. Rex Hondo

    Given the current Indiana weather, I was confused for a few seconds until I remembered that in-story it’s still August last year.

    1. NakedDumblydore

      I grew up going to the beach in October, but MD is probably milder than Indiana.

      1. Rex Hondo

        I don’t think I’d be exagerrating too much in calling central Indiana weather “wildly erratic.”

  18. John

    Sal and Walky seem very siblingy today.

    1. dchorror

      They’ve catching up to do.

  19. TeslaSunburn

    I love that Walky’s just sort there for this adventure.

  20. NakedDumblydore

    Cartoon crow? Are there advertisements for Indiana lakes in Dumbo??

    1. Random832

      There’s more than COOOORRRRNN in INDIAAAANAA… at INNDDIIAAANNAAA BEEEEAAAAAACH!

      1. Wandering Meme

        why does your “Beach” sound like “Be-ya-tch” when i say it?

      2. carl320

        Then they drive four hours only to stand in a long line to get in XD

  21. TaZZerath

    … hmm, what if a wild Scumbag Pastor’s Son appears?

    1. Ridureyu

      A Wild Rapist Appears!

      Sarah Uses Louisville Slugger!

      It’s Super effective!

      1. Wandering Meme

        gotta catch ’em all,
        GOTTA CATCH ’em ALL!!!

        It’s your destiny…JusT LiKe ThE SoNg!

      2. a99steaksauce

        Joyce uses Glassed Attack!
        Its heavily effective!

        Amazi-Girl uses Capture!
        Amazi-Girl misses!

      3. Lordphulish

        Pokemon rap. It’s super effective.

        1. saturnwonder

          OMG no

  22. Big Ninja Jim

    Holly Crap I no joke live about less than ten miles from that beach and worked there the last two summers.

  23. Norcekri

    No beach? It’s not that far to Indiana Dunes — about 3 hours from Indianapolis, 2 from Purdue.

    1. David

      It’s pretty far when you don’t have a car!

      1. Pat

        That sounds pretty far when you DO, too…

  24. Lumina

    I used to go to Indiana Beach every summer 😀 I still have a piggy bank with the logo on it. Fond memories of throwing candy at people from the skyline…

  25. Beacon

    Are Walky and Sal the only native Hoosiers here or do the others just not watch TV? Those Indiana Beach were kind of ubiquitous in my childhood.

    (Wait, never mind. I keep forgetting that I’m now ten years older than the cast)

  26. aaron_bourque

    Isn’t it still, like September? I don’t think that’s the beach time of year in Indiana. But then again, it’s just a lake.

    1. Rex Hondo

      Y’know what they say. If you don’t like the weather in Indiana, wait five minutes.

    2. David

      It’s possibly still late August.

      1. Roborat

        So they are in university in August, when do classes start anyway? Up here in northern Canadastan, they start in September.

        1. David

          Indiana University starts its fall semesters in late August.

        2. Roborat

          Wow, sucks to be going to that school; up here, that is usually the best part of summer. Thanks for clarifying that.

        3. fabforest

          In Quebecstan, CÉGEPs start around the next-to-last or last week of august, while university initiations, and sometimes class, starts around the last week of august

  27. AliaPie

    Well, as long as it’s not Butts Disease.

  28. Mebhy

    There really is more than just Corn in Indiana. There is also Soybeans.

    1. Beacon

      And Racecars!

  29. espanolbot

    Yeah, have a feeling that Rapey Ryan’ll be there somehow.

    1. Rex Hondo

      So long as somebody has the foresight to bring a couple of cinder blocks and some rope along, everything should work out just fine.

    2. Pat

      He was a threat because they didn’t know he was. It wouldn’t be very much of a fight for him to take on this group directly. Sarah, Sal, and sober Joyce? I’d think any one of them could take him down; all three with Walky and Dorothy there? He’s a non-threat.

  30. Locke

    Is Sal going along? That’d be nice of her.

    Also, used syringe beaches are very under-rated. You get a tan, a slight-high, AND a debilitating mystery drug addiction!

    1. Kernanator

      It’s fun for the whole family!

  31. Whit

    When I was a kid, we’d go to Fairfax Beach, it was such a dump, broken glass everywhere. But I was six, so I figured it was the best thing ever.

  32. Kamino Neko

    Aw, Sal and Walky getting along. It’s heartwarming.

  33. Ezechiehl

    Seems somehow familiar, doesn’t it?

    http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000619.html

    1. saturnwonder

      Best comic strip ever! It’s especially funny because I live in Colorado XD

      For the longest time I was afraid to go to the lakes here as well, thinking I would get something from the sand. This concers my thoughts.

  34. Queen Anthai

    Dammit, now I have “THERE’S MORE THAN COOOOOORRRRN IN INDIANA” stuck in my head.

  35. Robert in San Diego

    I hope they remember to bring sunscreen.

  36. Zanosuke_Kurosaki

    Coolest Fans reference ever. 😀

    1. insomniac

      I don’t think it’s a Fans reference. It’s just a good question to ask about beaches.

      1. David

        I’ll pretend it was meant to be a Fans! reference. It was really just my morbid train of thought taking command.

  37. Gargamel

    Hmm I wonder if Willis is planning to move the comic forward in time… A trip to the beach sounds like a pretty good break in the story to me.

  38. Speaky2k

    My girlfriend is from NW Indiana and I showed her this comic… Now she is walking around the house singing “Innndiaaaaana Beeeeach!”

  39. airfox

    So …let me try to guess:

    Either on the way out to the beach, or coming back, Joe’s going to see Walky with all these girls, right?

    Then … hilarity. 🙂

    -airfox

  40. Asuka L.S.

    Um…two lakes came to mind immediately: Heritage and Raccoon. Both are good lakes for swimming, and have excellent beaches.

  41. Asuka L.S.

    There’s also Monroe Lake, which is much closer to Bloomington.

  42. Rogue of Space

    Go to the beach? When did this turn into every high school anime I’ve ever seen?

  43. VentusRex

    It made me super giddy to hear about Indiana beach on here. Though the Crow lies about there being more than corn in Indiana.

  44. BrokenEye, True False Prophet

    “And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great:”

    2 Chronicles 16:12
