TBF, I remember the snow hills at my uni sticking around a *long* time. they were at least 99% pure snow, a whole parking lot’s worth plowed into corners (while the grass could easily have a foot of snow on it), so while they got *smaller* over time, the inside stayed insulated.
the black-ice puddles were great to practice your balance on, too. 🙂
sure but it’s not like that worked out, doing it as a college course might not necessarily be promising unless you have connections to where it works out in the long run
might be one step above his parents reacting to like “i’m just gonna be a vtuber/streamer and have random strangers pay for my mcnuggets from now on”
Walky should just check the weather app on his phone. Y’know the little sun or cloud icon most people ignore that’s automatically installed on practically every smart device. He’s crying now but that pile is likely to back within a week.
off-topic, is there like a floor plan for their room assignments? I was thinking, “I should remember to vote for bonus strip this month, a minor character, like Meredith. I wonder which room is hers?” And then I spent a long time trying to figure out who’s in which rooms.
Meredith ended up being the only named character in Clark I don’t have a good guess for, lol.
Meredith does not live off-campus, as shown by the linked comic where she is part of Booster’s introduction to the residents of Clark Wing, as also shown by the comic not long after where she is part of the Clark Wing second semester floor meeting, as also shown by this comic where Ruth lists things she’s done for Clark Wing residents for their birthdays, including Meredith: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/02-this-is-the-way-that-we-love/prosecuted/ and as shown generally by every one of her appearances being part of Clark Wing (or at least Read Hall generally) with zero reference to not living there

Pretty sure it was a joke.

I am fairly certain someone living off campus doesn’t get someone to buzz them into the building so they can smoke weed on the roof, go to the floor meetings, and use their grody showers.
oo thank you! right handed door. probably no door decorations. Assuming I have the other rooms right, if Jennifer is going from the elevators towards the end of the hall, looking into the rooms well enough not to need to double back, Meredith’s room is somewhere between the showers and Ruth’s. If she checked her own room first (or doubles back for any reason), and is headed back towards the elevator, Meredith’s room might be opposite Ruth’s. Outside chance of to the right of Mary’s room.
And a few days from an unnamed background character (their possible second appearance).
Eventually Lucy will be confident enough in their relationship that when Walky does something like this she just reach over and wallop the bejesus out of him.
This will, of course, lead to him doing it more often.
Willis I hope you are being fairly compensated for the

Walky wanted to melt into gravel and exhaust?
Yeet
I’ve had days like that to be fair

You don’t want to become a pile of gravel and exhaust?
Kyrik Michalowski
I think he wanted to do stuff on the snow hill, so he is disappointed that it has melted into a pile of gravel and exhaust.
Jamie
He mostly just stood on it.
Mark
I think he wanted to do the top emo lines from every movie he’s ever seen.
Doctor_Who
Willis, I thought there were to be no more tragic character deaths.
True Survivor
Snow hill is like Frosty, he’ll be back next winter.
Reltzik
This wasn’t a character death. Just a dramatic meltdown.
Clif
How many Internets have you won now?
Sirksome
Does Walky not know how snow works?
Doctor_Who
He watched Frosty the Snowman once as a kid. Once.
Luckily, years of therapy erased the experience from his mind. He’s likely to have a relapse if he ever hears the voice of Jackie Vernon, though.
Needfuldoer
He gets a sense of general malaise when he hears Jimmy Durante.
Reltzik
Snow is obviously wizardry.
…. or maybe sorcery?
Witchcraft?
Dammit, which one was it…
Oh, right! THAWMATURGY!
eh, whatever
Day saved.
Autogatos
Knowing the painful truth and accepting it are two very different things.
Just like every time I get to the end of catching up on this comic, I knew it was coming, but I still remain saddened and unprepared nonetheless! XD

Can we all hold a moment of silence for the snow hill? Truly a tragedy has befallen our heroes.

Nooo, last time we had a moment of silence, two couples broke up

It’s obvious that the snow pile is in witness protection!
Thag Simmons
Only one of those was directly because of the moment of silence though

I remember the winter of 2015, one of Boston’s snow farms didn’t completely melt until May or June.
Needfuldoer
Nope, I was wrong.
It stuck around until JULY 14th.

Walky is busy keeping me from romanticizing the weather up home.
Yotomoe
YOU MANIACS. YOU MELTED IT DOWN. DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL.
brionl
And then the Apes melted it down too.
And it looks like some kind of bird, and then Giraffes?
BarerMender
Just a half giraffe.

I guess if someone on the cast has seen Planet of the Apes, it’d be him.
brionl
More likely Futurama and/or the Simpsons since they’ve both done parodies of that scene.

Fun fact about that movie: the monkeys weren’t really riding horses. They were just acting!
Needfuldoer
That also wasn’t the real Statue of Liberty! She wanted too much in residuals, so they hired a lookalike.
Laura
Walky missed his calling. Shoulda majored in drama.
…That woulda REALLY pissed his mom off!
Doctor_Who
Didn’t she actually try to make an actor of him as a child? That mouse thing?

“Walkerton.” Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…
(side note, but the storyline navigation menu on the IW! site is wildly out of order.)

Yeah, why’s Shortpacked! at the top of the list?

Suet
The last time we saw it
He can’t run up that hill anymore, but he can run up the road to McNutt
Needfuldoer
It’s generally not a good idea to climb those snow heaps anyway…

This fuckin goober, I love him.

She lives off-campus.

Yes, that is Meredith.

Meredith does not live off-campus, as shown by the linked comic where she is part of Booster’s introduction to the residents of Clark Wing, as also shown by the comic not long after where she is part of the Clark Wing second semester floor meeting, as also shown by this comic where Ruth lists things she’s done for Clark Wing residents for their birthdays, including Meredith: https://www.dumbingofage.com/2017/comic/book-8/02-this-is-the-way-that-we-love/prosecuted/ and as shown generally by every one of her appearances being part of Clark Wing (or at least Read Hall generally) with zero reference to not living there

Why did Walky choose this hill to die on?
bagge
?????
Clif
It was there.
King Daniel
Better to die on a hill than in a ditch?
Freezer
And suddenly, Lucy is wondering if the (potential) Walkerdick is worth it.
Arawn
I think this is quite tame compared to some of the other nonsense she’s had to put up with by now.
BBCC
Turns out Walky is me when the snow melts. XD
Clif
Eventually Lucy will be confident enough in their relationship that when Walky does something like this she just reach over and wallop the bejesus out of him.
This will, of course, lead to him doing it more often.
