Avast, mateys! Hoist the sails! This ship is catchin’ some wind! Billie totally wants to take care of Walky! She cares.
Also Walky’s bachelor future sounds awesome. Wonder how my boyfriend would feel if I dumped him for a house with a waterslide and a ball pit. I…I will keep my brand-name soap though.
And thus the spell is broken. A shame, since Walky was almost being a normal human being. That’s not quite his underwear, though, unless he sleeps in long underwear.
As awesome as Amber is, I’d have placed Roz, if anyone, as Fata Morgana, assuming we’re thinking the same Fata Morgana. No one else is as openly manipulative as Roz is, and with her job, you can’t deny its fitting.
So it’ll run me $3k or so to get 15k balls to fill one of my 10×10 ft. bedrooms with balls. Sweet. It’ll probably cost less if I can swing a bulk discount. With quantities like that, you should be able to haggle down the price.
There are a couple other things you’ll need, though. One is the infant doorway fence to keep all the balls from spilling out. The other you’ll have to hack: you’ll need a movable, round fence (chicken wire?) that’s about 3-4 feet across and at least a foot higher than the average ball depth. If you lose something in the balls, you’re going to have to work the fence down towards the bottom, and toss the balls from inside the fence to outside to dig your way back to the floor. The fence needs to be pretty rigid.
Cleaning is going to be a royal pain, and I hope you don’t have pets. You could lose cats in there. Roaches are going to love it.
I thought it was more “billie was always hot but David can draw now.”
Suzushiiro
Well, she’s been drawn plenty since Willis’ major art upgrade in the middle of IW, both with and without glasses, but that was after she got her hair cut after getting out of college. Hotter long hair + glasses + upgraded art = sudden peverse sexual lust.
Walky is going to turn out to be asexual, at least in sexual preference, in this universe for two reasons: 1) He showed no interest in Dorothy until she mentioned Dexter & MM, so the attraction may not necessarily be physical. 2) Willis is writing.
Not saying Walky/whoever can’t happen, just saying he may have no sexual turn-ons to speak of.
… why would Walky have no sex life because Willis is writing? Have you _read_ It’s Walky? David’s all over Walky’s relationships like peanut butter on a mousetrap.
Maybe. I just have mice on my mind. We have a mouse issue right now.
Wackd
I’ve read It’s Walky three times now. Somewhere in the back of my sleep-deprived mind I was thinking of Ethan and Robin “becoming”, for a relative definition of the word, gay, and of Willis saying that in simplest terms he made them so in order to avoid repeating plots. So I just sort of figured, y’know, asexuality is a sexual preference that hasn’t popped up in Willis’s writing yet, and it’d be a way to mix things up.
I dunno. At 18, immaturity is all about making light of sex, and Walky doesn’t like girls yet and yet likes to act immature. And, as I mentioned, lack of sex life does not automatically mean lack of romantic life.
Did I mention I had slept on average four hours a night for four straight days when I wrote that? No? Because it should clear up anything that still doesn’t make sense about my argument, and I’ll admit it probably isn’t a very good one. But I feel like less of an idiot trying to justify it.
I got two hours of sleep last night. Yeah.
Wackd
When I said he doesn’t like girls, I meant he says he doesn’t like girls. But because I admitted my argument was flimsy it doesn’t make a difference. Still, didn’t want to be misinterpreted.
Ah. Walky likes girl, but he hates that he likes girls. I had a phase like that. He never had anything in common with the girls he knew. The women who care in his life all seem to want to make him “grow up” faster than he’s willing to. Or at least that’s how it feels for him. Walky’s clinging to his youth. He denies his urges. And then meets Dorothy.
Walky probably didn’t even glanced at Dorothy until he heard that she liked his favorite cartoon. Reality shatters.
The next day, though, Walky’s hormones are back to normal, and he had rationalize the whole thing, remembering how he “doesn’t even like girl, it was a fluke, etc.” He’s not trying to fool Billie as much as himself.
Also, who actually buys things at K-Mart? I point them out to my older son as relics of a lost age, and then make obscure references to”blue light specials” that he will never, ever understand.
hmm… adamantly dislikes girls, loves toys, wants to live in a house with a water slide and ball put… walkyxethan anyone? Or am I just living in a fantasy world?
fantasy world, definitely; if walky were gay, he’d be pretending to like girls instead of the other way around.

I want a water slide house! Ball pits are also fun.
And Billie totally wants him. Tim to get to fic writing.

Challenge accepted. I’ll state when I have it done.

I’m curious where the traffic came from? theres never been this much that both SP and DoA crashed :OOOO
i want his future house.
arjay2813
i’m gonna get a ballpit in my own (future) house. every time i go in it i will yell BAZINGA!!
Joebo
Thank you Sheldon.
sainki
SO zazzy
Clementine
David, you can probably have all those things in your future house… except the soap. Maggie probably wouldn’t be cool with Kmart soap.
Fata Morgana
There’s nothing wrong with kmart soap.
JackNapier
Except everything.
R
It’s probably not doing your skin any favors, but it’ll kill germs.
maggiemarmalade
David doesn’t shop at Kmart of his own volition.
Fata Morgana
I can’t wait to have my own house, so that I can convert one room into a ball pit.
Fata Morgana
YES. Randomly assigned amber avatar ftw.
Rezzy
As awesome as Amber is, I’d have placed Roz, if anyone, as Fata Morgana, assuming we’re thinking the same Fata Morgana. No one else is as openly manipulative as Roz is, and with her job, you can’t deny its fitting.
JackNapier
Judging by that last panel, I’d say that Billie just realized what a bad idea it is to come into physical contact with Walkie.
Joebo
As if to say, “I just washed these hands!”
JackNapier
Or “I feel unclean.”

I’ll just leave this here… http://www.chiliahedron.com/ballroom/

Ball pits are fun! 😀

Walky’s fave movie must be Blank Check…..
Joebo
It’s not yours?
Dedlok
Ha ha. I love how in the last panel Billie has the “Oh my god… and I touched him!”look on her face
Zem
Best. Part.
wnderjif
why is billie hot in this universe, but gets no real screen time, its all, joyce and walky!! damit. i want hot billie in color!!!
Wackd
Billie was always hot in Walkyverse, because once she started putting on weight she got glasses. *drool*
Pandaburn

Trae Dorn
She got plenty of time in Roomies! though.
It’s just, as Pandaburn said, that Willis can actually draw now. 😛
Alechsa
Firstly: Is the poll even necessary? Mike will win forever and ever.
Mike and Sal should start dating, BTW.
Secondly: Wow that boy is a terrible actor/liar..
dchorror
Dina’s very close, which is amazing for someone who’s appeared in far less strips.
MasonK
Are you sure? She could be in almost any strip, hiding behind the door.

Also, don’t mistake my definitiveness for arrogance. This is merely a wild guess, although one I’d kind of like to see happen.
KCO
Just means he’ll be getting together with a fanboy/girl. Or both. Actually, I would like to see that. XD

Ghostwritten by T Campbell?

I appreciate you.

I just noticed that he’s wearing a head alien shirt
Steven
K-mart soap? That’s a rather specific example of guilt-tripping.
Lan Mikoto
I’m making a ballpit at my grandma’s for myself and my cousins. She already said “Go for it” so it’s definitely being planned out.
zuche
Billie looked at her hands, confused.
“Stigmata?” she wondered aloud. “How can this be?”
But our lord and saviour was lost in the private ball pit of his mind, and did not answer.
Iasthai
Ah. Walky likes girl, but he hates that he likes girls. I had a phase like that. He never had anything in common with the girls he knew.

Undrave
Just like Billie is trying to fool herself that she doesn’t enjoy Walky’s company… she sure isn’t fooling anybody else :p
JackNapier
I don’t have anything to say here. I just wanted to make a string of Dorothy icons.
MrGBH
Billie’s thoughts in the last panel:
“Must clean stupidity off my hands!”
begbert2
Or:
“Must clean K-Mart soap off my hands!”
Kamino Neko
‘Must clean crap LEFT BY K-Mart soap off my hands.’
Somath Cegem
Nah, if Billie isn’t imagining strangling Walky in panel 4 I’ll eat my many hats.
Lokitsu
If you ate your many hats, would you be full to the brim?
Pulse5
I see what you did there
ArchSchnitz
Billie’s hands now smell like Nachitos.
Also, who actually buys things at K-Mart? I point them out to my older son as relics of a lost age, and then make obscure references to”blue light specials” that he will never, ever understand.
George
I can totally believe that. If Walky eats like he did in IW, he’s probably got something similar to Robin and Skittles by now.
Undrave
I haven’t seen a K-Mart since they dissapeared from Canada :p
Kater
hmm… adamantly dislikes girls, loves toys, wants to live in a house with a water slide and ball put… walkyxethan anyone? Or am I just living in a fantasy world?

Gianni
Actually, that’s not a far off idea, certainly Ethan will take one look at Walky’s lifestyle choices and think it was his lucky day.
dchorror
My first thought at reading the first panel was “That wasn’t so bad.” from Billie.
Tomb
My Dream!!
wynne
I like this Walky. He’s a man’s man.
Plasma Mongoose
Ballpit and waterslide combo? Sounds jolly dangerous!
