They're about a month early, but here they are! All 11 of you who voted for today on the poll get major props. Zach and Chase, at about 6 and 5 pounds respectively. Does anyone ever really care about birth weights? Well, whatever.
Everyone's healthy, so sweetass.
Goodbye, buffer. Profane

She dropped it like Dez.

Person foul, unnecessary bullshit.
Number Walky and Bille.
Penalty is a guilt trip.
Replay relationships.
Clif
Mike is the ref you deserve.
Falling Star
He could make a bundle as a life coach.
TheNinthShader
I think at one point he was in the military, or has that not happened, someone please explain the relationship between shortpacked and this comic please.
Kate
There is no relationship between shortpacked and this comic. While DoA uses largely the same cast of characters on the surface, it is in a completely different universe that has had none of the aliens and crazy stuff that it’s walky/shortpacked ‘verse had.
TheNinthShader
Oh ok, thanks.
Kent17
This is a separate universe from all of the other “Willis” comics.
Click the “About\Read before posting” link above the comic for a better understanding.

And now I know to refresh my page before posting…

I could see Mike as a military kid and involved in the school’s ROTC program to become an officer in some branch, or to be considering doing so.
Drill sergeant or OCS instructor would probably be a dream job for him, because you’re paid to be an asshole and tear people down, but also charged with rebuilding them into something better.
buckybone
Heh, my RDCs kinda missed the memo about that second part.
Dez
Like me?
Lapin
Well, at least Billie admits it.
KKoro
I really like Billie as a character because of stuff like this — she grew up with Walky, and acts like him pretty often, but for all her faults she at least seems aware of when she’s being a shitbag.
Walky, not so much.
Lapin
Yes, this exactly. Billie seems aware of where the line is, at the very least.
Silly Name
To Walky’s “credit”, he’s a doofus only because he is afraid of growing up and so he keeps acting like he was 10; he could be a lot more mature and aware of where the line is if he wasn’t so afraid of showing maturity.
Like, look at that last panel: he says he doesn’t cares, but his face says “Oh god, this is too complex, please stop I want everything to be back to normal why can’t it be normal I want to watch cartoons with my girlfriend and Joyce to be her usual annoyingly optimistic self and…”
6Qubed
so what I’m hearing here is that Walky is some kind of man-child tsundere
StClair
Yeah.
Cerberus
Yeah, Billie has grown up a lot in a short period of time and is becoming a better person for some of it. The negative though is that she’s replacing her judgment of others with crippling judgment of herself and self-hatred.
Squirrel_Empire
Because watching a friend lose everything like that can be difficult to watch. I feel your pain Joyce! Hang in there! It gets better, eventually!
Lapin
BTW, congrats on becoming a parent to both of you.
Doctor_Who
Hearty congratulations and warm fuzzy thoughts to you and Maggie! And get sleep while you can, because it’s about to become a priceless commodity.
Kryss LaBryn
Yes, congrats! 😀 Way to go!
I know the best advice I got about it was “sleep when the baby sleeps; the dishes will wait.” I think that increases exponentially for twins. Hang in there! This is an awesome snuggly time as well as a sleepless one. Sleep will come. Later.
Jenne H
Heck, for twins send someone to Costco for cases of disposable plates, cups and cutlery. You’re never going to get the time to wash those dishes.
Agemegos
Yes, congratulations! Thank you for producing the workers and taxpayers of my dotage!
Leorale
Yaaay, congratulations, mazal tov, all the wonderfulness to you and your family! <3
Darp
tbh i’m kind of amazed their babies are white
Bicycle Bill
And just whathehell is that supposed to mean?
Opus the Poet
It’s because they were delivered C-section, natural delivery leaves babies that look like overripe tomatoes right after delivery
saltchocolate
Also, the It’s Pregnancy strip. Walky as stand-in for Willis there . . .
Lapin
….Urm…both parents look pretty white in photos. (AFAIK Willis is white, and the two times I’ve seen Maggie in a photo she’s light-skinned at the very least) So…what other colour would they be?
Agemegos
Red. I was rather amazed to see my neighbours’ newborn yesterday: he was a little white guy! All my nieces and nephews have been red.
Agemegos
And my great-nephews.
heyman
Congratulations!
And say bye-bye to sleep, haha!
Lapin
Eh. I’ve always found that to be a joke more than anything else. Newborns sleep a lot, just in a different cycle. If Maggie is breastfeeding (and with twins, that might be a nightmare she’s unwilling to face, and I don’t blame her) they might get hungry every couple hours or so, and they might have reflux, but other than that…IDK, I’ve been a nanny for a lot of new parents/newborns, and while it is tiring, it’s not too horrible, and they usually start sleeping through the night from as early as two months, to six months.
heyman
That “every two hours” is at night, too.
DarkoNeko
And there goes the productivity of one more artist !
DarkVeghetta
Woo-hoo! Congratulations on fulfilling your biological imperative, as you yourself noted. FEEL THE SATISFACTION! Hopefully your sleep cycles where irregular as it stood and won’t be too horribly mangled as a result of producing viable heirs.
Cerberus
Congratulations!
Willinwoods
Agree, congratulations to you both!
Cale
I’m literally the only male guy I know who goes nuts over babies.
Funhouseinabox
I think Male Guy is kinda redundant.
misteline
As someone who grew up thinking of the word ‘guy’ as gender neutral, I approve of the distinction.
Carry on.
Dana
You need to meet more male guys, I guess.
spiderfan14
aww, those twins of yours are so cute! Was there much temptation to name them after Sal and Walky?
DarkoNeko
Mike calls it like it is.
And a big round of congrats for the birth of Zachary Dashiel and Chase Alexander Willis !!
Stephen R. Bierce
Welcome to the world kids! May you cause no end to your parents’ anxiety and sleeplessness for the next two decades.
EdHead
I just FEEL as somehow, Willis will involve his children somewhere down the line.
Dean
I’m a little surprised that neither of them was named after a Transformer.
Seriously, though, congratulations!
yamis
He Totally did
http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Chase_%28G1%29
Betty Anne
Also, Chip’s last name was Chase. (If you’re too young to know who Chip Chase is, slap that name into the TFWiki and then get off my lawn. :p)
Those are some rocks to live up to, man. That kid tore a floppy disk in half and survived the Rainmakers’ acid rain, among other awesome feats. O.O
Jason
Or a Turtle.
heyman
Or Batman.
Willoughby Chase
I’m batman.
Captain Button
Let us pray neither of them becomes Batman, given what that would mean for Willis and Maggie.
Falling Star
That they would be the proud parents of Batman?
I will guard that couple with my LIFE so that this can happen.
Captain Button
Part of becoming Batman is having your parents murdered in front of you.
EvilMidnightLurker
There was the one alt-universe Bruce whose parents were saved by our Batman, thanks to the Phantom Stranger. He became Batman in honor of that mysterious savior.
TJ Pittsburgh
I’m pretty sure the one is named after Rainbow Dash . . . the 20% cooler twin.
Betty Anne
Dashiel (one or two l’s on the end, depending on whom you ask) is Flint (GI Joe)’s real name. Not sure if it was intentional, but as another Hasbro family, it’s def in the name bank. XD (Also: I totally have a “Rainbow Dashiel(l)” pic on my art to-do list. I actively seek out tickets to Hell. 😀 )
Strangeshapes
I always think of the noir crime writer, Dashiell Hammett. Also, Willis, for twins a month early, 5 and 6 lbs. is HUGE!
Raul tsi
Yes, congratulations to the new parents, and yes, 5# and 6# preemies? A month early? Dayum they were going to be HUGE. Glad everyone’s healthy and good luck to y’all.
Jason
Dash is also a G1 autobot.
Lapin
IDK, I’m nearing my third decade on this planet, and my mother still says she loses sleep over me. (And I am in fact a boring, responsible homebody whose biggest risk recently was splurging on a nice restaurant-dinner)
merbrat
Parenting: The first 40 years are the hardest.
Betty Anne
^ This. Granted, my daughter is only 19 months old, but I haven’t slept all the way through the night since I was seven months pregnant with her. I told my mom the other day that I’ve accepted the fact I’m never going to get a “full night’s sleep” again. 😐
Agemegos
Nearing your third decade? Or nearing the end of your third decade?
Your first decade was from birth to your tenth birthday. Your second decade started on your tenth birthday and ends on your twentieth birthday. Your third decade will start on your twentieth birthday, right?
TheTJ
There’s the good ol’ Mike we know.
He doesn’t point this out because it’s the right thing to do, just because they don’t want him to.
IDontcarenomore
Mikes asshole games are usually always benign, for the peoples well being around he person he targets.
Sionyx
I am torn between Squee and wondering why I don’t pay more attention to newsposts. Squee is winning.
Congrats to the whole family!
Fish Facade
This is so babies.
