I am not sure he’s seen her naked, no. I know they had a grinding session once when they were kinda-sorta a thing, enough to where Walky finished, but I don’t think they got outright naked. I could be wrong, though, I never got the slipshine, I just remember in-comic references to the events.
This. I like all three, and think Walky’s dad is right, but this isn’t how you go about finding out Mr
Walkerton. Treat those around you with more respect, not because you’ll be caught and end up lonely, but because they’re people too, and they deserve to be shown at peast that much love. ? Your personal brand is happy go lucky, but that doesn’t have to include “asshole”.
TBH I opened up a zoomed version of it to see what witty Amber appropriate noun had replaced base, like “All your IRCs are belong to us” was my leading contender, just had to give up and assume it was base which is fine…
but back in the good old days of webcomic artists supplying 90% of the world’s quirky t-shirts it would have been something that wasn’t stock.

Ships would have been good too, also I’m not closing that zoomed in image.

Yes, and I’m all for it.
MAKE OUT. MAKE OUT. MAKE OUT. MAKE OUT.
Freemage
Are any of the folks calling for makeouts here in the same camp as those criticizing Dorothy for making a play for Walky? Just curious, really.
SDRainbow
you’re making me want to chart out the various factions and how they overlap or don’t.
i wouldn’t, because that’s very creepy, but the idea of a database that can answer “oh, yes, Charlemagne and qwerty are pro Dorothy, anti Walky, neutral on Carla, but Charlemagne is extremely anti Sal and qwerty loves Sal” sounds kinda neat
clif
Why is noticing it okay but putting it in a database creepy?
Would it be creepy to make notes on index cards or is it the act of using a computer that makes it creepy? Or is keeping track okay but sharing the results creepy?
Inquiring minds. (I mean the only reason I’m not going to keep track of what people have said in public is that it’s too much like work. )
Daibhid C
I think it’s the keeping track. Which is different from noticing.
Like if somebidy IRL learned I was autistic and said “there’s several other autistic people here, actually” I’d think “okay, cool.” If they consulted their notebook, wrote down my name, and said “That makes you the seventeenth autistic person here”, my reaction would be more like “Why are you collecting that information? What are you going to do with it?”

Rose by Any Other Name
As far as I can tell, those of us who chant for makeouts and or ‘just FUCK ALREADY’s typically do so for any and all couples where it could conceivably happen.
I’d be thrilled if Lucy, Dorothy, Amber, and Walky had an intense fourway. Or any combination of threesomes or twosomes thereof.
See also Dorothy/Joyce/Joe and Ethan/Asher/Jennifer/Ruth/Jason.
cbwroses
I’m in the camp of I’d prefer Walky to break up with Lucy instead of cheating.
BUT…if realizes that via a hot make-out session, dry hump session, or actual sex that Yotomoe can draw, I’ll…reluctantly…inject it into my veins!
Seriously, I think Amber, then Dorothy are better relationships for him, and I’m still not convinced he even desires Lucy, which is another reason I want them to break up, so they can both be with someone they want as friends AND lovers.
Freemage
I’d put Dorothy above Amber, honestly, at least Amber as she is at this point in her arc. Shoving Walky hard enough to knock the table over at the Halloween party, over what was clearly his inability to cope with his own grief? Sorry, that’s a huge red flag, way beyond Dorothy’s issues. It really was, or at least could ben, Baby’s First Domestic Violence Incident.
Amber being in a relationship with anyone right now is a bad idea, no matter how hot Yotome’s drawing of it would absolutely be.
thejeff
It could have been, but it was also coming out of her own inability to cope with her grief, not something that was likely to be an ongoing pattern.
Yes. Me. I’m that. Amber is hotter to me than Dorothy is, so I care less about how she gets from Point A (not making out with anyone) to Point B (making out with someone).
Walky: You again? Get out of here you. Scoot scoot.
Yoto: *Stops hiding behind box but stares defiantly and pushes his two custom action figures closer together slowly. Menacingly.
Walky: I said scram *Sprays with water bottle
Yoto: HIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS *Jumps out window
Yes, but he’s currently cheating on Amber with Lucy, so he doesn’t have much of a foundation as it is.
Freemage
I… don’t even know how to parse that. He and Amber broke up–after Amber physically assaulted him at the Halloween party. Saying that it’s ‘cheating’ for him to be going out with Lucy instead is, frankly, kind of ick, the sort of mentality that gets used in real world abusive relationships to make victims think they owe it to their partner-abuser to keep trying to make it work.
Bemisawa
Yeah, I mean, before they even get started I think Lucy’s going to ask them to get off of her. I doubt they’d even get to the cheating, really.
Amber and he might drift into a situation where it’s more likely than Dorothy desperately asking him to get back together while standing in the middle of a muddy pile of melted plow snow.
Never got drift, myself, thankfully. Also, Amber answering the door in her underwear surprised me, but I guess she’s more socially anxious, not so much about her body.
I know Ambers shirt reads: “All your base are belong to us”
but from this angel it could be “all your abuse are belong to us” which fits Amber disturbingly well.
Also, are those Transformers Beast Wars heraldry on her door? One is Insectacons right?
_An_ Amber was. However DoA started in 2010 and /this/ Amber was 18 *then*. Maybe if Ana’s sliding time scale doesn’t only apply to the active time-line, then Amber was 18 for AYBABTU. But if not (what I’m figuring on) then Amber was eight in y2k/2k1 when the AYBABTU meme took off. Interestingly, she may not have shocked mom or Blaine with it, since “unlike other memes of the time, it lacked sexual innuendos or vulgarity.”
