   It’s Robin’s body language that sells this.

     poor Amber.

     I dunno, I kind of hope Amber checks in, sees her mom’s been getting sweet, sweet lovin’ from a handsome, physically fit, relatively decent on a personal level young dude, and goes “whoa, way to go Mom.”

   I get a very Dinosaur Comics feel from today’s comic. Could be Robin’s body language.

     IIRC David is like 3 different people in the Walkyverse.
     So many fiction suits it’s like a Grant Morrison book!

       Are you including the fact that Willis qua Willis actually exists in the ‘verse?

         Daniel Wilcox,
         David Walkerton,
         David Willis.

         So that’s at least three.

         You could make a case for The Cheese being number four.

   Oh crap. So Amber gets new scars from discovering that the ‘noise’ during the whole weekend were Jacob and her Mom having wild monkey sex that’d make even Mike mildly jealous. And Amber’s mom is horribly happy.

     Mike has seen people being monkey-humped to death before. It didn’t really affect him.

   I would (almost) pay to see Amber being mauled by monkeys, but alas I am a poor student.

      That’s supposed to be God. I think this is the…second time we see him that he’s not talking about bringing Enterprise back.

      On a side note, Willis! This totally grew out of that FormSpring question, didn’t it?

          Capcom says it’s not a sun god. It’s a sunstar instead.

          If you understood that, you should feel ashamed of yourself.

    This kinda puts that whole “God has a plan for everything” into a really odd sort of perspective, doesn’t it?

    Silly Willis, picturing God als the sun is a blatant oversimplification.

    I don’t know who I feel bad for here: Jacob, Stacy, Amber or the formspring questioner that this was nodded toward.

    Dear Willis,
    If you truly love your fans, there will be an epic, year long storyline between her leaving the store and the inevitable walking-in-on-the-mindless-monkey-humping. So this strip will truly be foreshadowing…

    robin thinks that something is foreshadowing but amber says no one is writing their lives, not knowing that they live in a comic and the cartoonist is writing their lives after all and is going to be hurt by monkeys

      And, gee: Oooo, rabid monkeys. Still saving the special effects budget? Laser space drone monkeys! Blaster hamsters with Star Destroyers ™! UFO Tanks! UFO Interceptors! But no, because that would take space devoted to Feeeeeeelings, nothing more than feeeeeeeelings…
