I had never heard of Governor/Commissioner/Administrator/Ambassador Paul McNutt before I googled him tonight, but now I want to know more. Had FDR not decided to run for a third term, he could have been a presidential contender; his IU roommate was FDR’s opponent in that election.
the University I studied at was renamed in 1986…. originally the new name was “Curtin Unversity of New Technology”
It took prnting the new degree certificate for them to realise that was a less than ideal name
(they went with CUT insead, and recently switched to CU)
Joyce is a quantum shipper AND this is Billie’s suggested couple. Joyce will be all on board for it (unless she and Lucy rub each other the wrong way, which I still think would be hilarious).
my dorm is colloquially known by a man’s name because of its abbreviation (we’re IVAN. the neighboring dorm is IVAS.) but that is nowhere near McNutt on the “how easy is it to make stupid jokes about this building” scale. but given that a cooking magazine we have wrote an article referencing how cashew milk is the “thickest nut milk” in a completely factual manner while i, a 25-year-old human person, could not stop my brain from going There, it’s just a given.
Walky, you were so close but maybe just laugh rather than injure yourself or just do the single “snerk” exhale laugh when you can’t hold it. I’m sure there is a better way to describe it but I’m tired and my brain isn’t cooperating.
I think Walky should take a vacation in Britain over the winter break. His itinerary should include Scongahorpe, Didling, Nob End, Broad Bottom, and Cock End.
He could finish up with a trip on the continent, visiting the German town of Wank, and the Austrian town of Fucking.
Dunno how that happened, but it’s Scongahorpe. The name is classic, er, clbuttic, in internet filtering tropes.
In the US, we have Norfolk, VA, not a problem in text but a guaranteed Walky-mouth-roof-buster when pronounced.
Marsh Maryrose
Wow! How self-referential! I just discovered a forum filter i didn’t know existed. And it perfectly illustrates the S-Cee-U-En-Tee-horpe problem!
I stopped using the c-word 15 years ago, on the basis that it is an inherently sexist derogation for which no male analog exists. I might call Billie an alpha bongo, but I will never call her a conga.
Yumi
Well, I’m guess I’m glad that the censored word doesn’t come up often enough here for the replacement to be common knowledge. (Though I think I remember a fairly recent, probably deleted comment, that made use of it, so perhaps it’s a more recent filter? Or perhaps it was all a dream.)
Reminds me of how you can’t say “grape” or “skill” on Neopets.
Marsh Maryrose
I was trying to figure out how “skill” could be a problem, and then…I suddenly got a tiny bit worried about the Neopets community.
It’s because you can’t say “kill.” The censors made it real hard the time I had to do a crisis suicide check on Neopets.com.
neeks
Once upon a time in RuneScape the word “fletching” was censored in the chat, for a very brief period of time, because while it could be considered a workaround for saying “felching,” I GUESS, it also happens to be the name of a skill in the game.
“So what are you guys doing?”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“*********.”
“… crafting bows and arrows.”

OMG, that’s a real thing? Holy shit. I’m with Walky on this one.
Pablo360
I, too, often must hold myself back when it comes to McNutt.
Hinoron
Red-haired clowns ejaculating… oh boy…

I’m amazed that Willis managed to so accurately represent in text, the sound made when snerking. xD
BBCC
The school knew what they were doing, I’m sure. 😉
Badgermole
My university has a building called Cocke Hall, appropriately enough home to Classics and Philosophy.
Nikol Geier
My school has, no joke, a building named “The Richard Woodcock Building”.
We call it the Triple Dick Building.
Marsh Maryrose
For a public university, naming a building after one of the most powerful governors in your state’s recent history is probably not such a bad idea.
C.
He was also an IU alumnus and professor.
Needfuldoer
If only his name was Richard.
BBCC
I still maintain they knew what they were doing when they chose that particular individual. 😉

An election between college roommates would certainly be interesting…
Yet_One_More_Idiot
Just imagine all the sordid stories about their time as college roomies that would’ve inevitably come to light during the campaign! xD

I’m waiting for a dorm to be named after one of the Bayhs.
“Where do you live?”
“Bayh.”
“By what?”
<insert extended contrived "Who's on first?" rip-off?
Sunny
By Bayh.
Oh, well, goodbye.
It’s not bad.
What?
Bayh.
ValdVin
“Other than the telepathy?”
Feeling well enough to let his sense of humor show.
Pablo360
Either that or he’s playing it up as a coping mechanism like Becky does.
King Daniel
He’s facetiously mentioned having “twin-telepathy” to Billie before, I assumed this was a callback to that:

SpaceshipPilot
Wow, the art style’s evolved a lot.
Pablo360
*reads that strip* Wait, what!? He DOESN’T have twin telepathy? Are you f**king KIDDING me?
Stephen Bierce
Sometimes you feel like a Nut…
Lieutenant Dan
…sometimes you don’t.

McNutt is what happens when you eat McRib.
Tacos
Hopefully that is done in the privacy of your home and not at the McDonald’s.
woobie
Just so nobody brings a dead raccoon to the McDonald’s.
Lookingin
it’s not his fault that he discovered one of the secret ingredients that make the McRib so tasty!
Pablo360
You jest, but if I found out the secret ingredient to the McRib was raccoon, my immediate reaction would be, “I need to eat more raccoon.”
chris73
Even Joyce would agree that these two should definitely start dating
DarkoNeko
Noooo
chris73
I don’t know what Lucys power is but shes even managing to make Walky less annoying just by her very presence
Kyrik Michalowski
I’m sure that has entirely to do with Lucy’s “power” and not any bias you might have for this ship.
chris73
I certainly do have a bias for these two and strips like this aren’t helping
Jamie
I am into this ship.
Bagge
Joyce is a quantum shipper AND this is Billie’s suggested couple. Joyce will be all on board for it (unless she and Lucy rub each other the wrong way, which I still think would be hilarious).
Ronnie
They could actually be wholesome. How’s Lucy managing to make Walky WHOLESOME
newllend(henryvolt)
I’m not ready to get off the garbage ship yet
Amazi-Stool
I know that you are aware of this, but I want to prove this for the occasional readers:
Joyce is defintely onboard of this ship!.
DarkoNeko
Ain’t gonna lie, I was tempted to laugh too
Catullus
Nobody tell Walky the name of Rube Goldberg’s comic strip.
BarerMender
Goldberg had serveral strips. I imagine you’re referring to “Boob McNutt.”
Pablo360
Boob McNutt was syndicated by McNaught.

Oh no – it’s the She-Jacob!!
woobie
Yep.
Pablo360
Right! They’re both…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…help me out here? Beside the obvious, are these two actually similar beyond being wholesome?
Pablo360
OH WAIT I’M AN IDIOT
Pablo360
oh wait never mind, she only mentions one sibling
Xccj
Okay, I get that it’s a static background, but the door sticker in panel 1 makes it look like Walky is holding onto a burrito or something.
Warclam
He’s not?
Huh, look at that, he’s not.
William Leonard Reese Jr.
. . . Oh no my shipping goggles are activating! Quick put a canon couple on screen to deactivate them once more!
Kyrik Michalowski
Walky, you were so close but maybe just laugh rather than injure yourself or just do the single “snerk” exhale laugh when you can’t hold it. I’m sure there is a better way to describe it but I’m tired and my brain isn’t cooperating.
