Shortpacked!‘s universe is fifteen years old today! Shortpacked! itself is only about eight years old (as of next January), but my longtime readers will remember that it’s a (not so small anymore) part of a larger collective of stories.
To celebrate, there’s the new BringBackRoomies.com site, which will rerun all of my older material in “best reading order” from start to finish, day by day, starting today. Those fifteen-year-old old comics will be published much larger than previously, there’ll be comics that’ve never been published before online (including today’s!), there’ll be commentary as I apologize for how terrible they are, plus stuff won’t be thrown around in random chronological order like the crappy old site (which still exists for now, don’t worry). So be sure to check that out every day for the next several years.
Shortpacked! is celebrating in its own way, as you can see. There’ll be a lot of familiar faces over the next week or so.
Oh, and sweet stuff is also happening in Dumbing of Age. It is two years old today. The “Dumbiverse” isn’t old enough to start driving lessons like the “Walkyverse” is, but it is old enough to be walking around and getting into things it shouldn’t.
No, you have to get your tux on and prepare for smooching your bride.
Happy Birthday!!!!
But where’s Reagan and Ninja Rick???
Noone wants NR around during a celebration with 4 + people of Asian decent
He’s a ninja. You shouldn’t see him until he strikes (assuming he’s been training off-screen).
I’m just kind of assuming if/when Robin gets married Reagan will walk her down the aisle.
Awww
right behind faz
Sorry, sorry
:starts handing out brainbleach:
its just been coming up so often lately
“coming”
“up”
yeah i thought about that phrase last night after I posted it, but there is a lack of edit button
He’s right there. Don’t you see him? Right over there.
Rick is….understandable…..and Reagan vanished into the sunset. But where’s Conquest?
And where is Dina?
Dina go BLOOIE! in this continuity.
Kind of the point.
I’m surprised Howard didn’t show up here. Okay, maybe not ‘too’ surprised, but he’s always at these things.
IS THAT A WALKY/JOYCE BABY?!
Also, hooray, J&W characts! Fun times are coming. Unless Mike or someone fucks it up.
That’s what I thought. He has Joyce’s eyes.
I’m assuming that’s Machete.
The teeth are kind of a giveaway.
He’s gotta be about three by now. Looks like Joyce kept her word.
OH MY GOSH WHO LET A CHIPMUNK IN HERE?!?! .. oh it’s a kid
OH MAN THAT’S BOBBY WALKERTON. I’M KIND OF FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.
I read this too fast as Dobby Walkerton, and I immediately wanted to name my child Dobby.
I read THAT too fast and read it as Dolby. Presenting the all new speakers in pillow cases by Dobby Surround Sound!
Your gravatar adds a nice touch to that coment.
I can almost hear the Duh, duh, DUH
I just love that, at least on my screen, if you miss the one word on the next line, it looks like you’re staying “..unless Mike fucks it”
SQEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I’m surprised they don’t have Historical Jesus officiating.
He was a rabbi in his previous life after all.
Maybe Jesus doesn’t want to marry them since she kinda had birth out of Wedlock…then again HJ may have no problem with that kind of thing. I don’t know.
Hey, his mom had a birth out of wedlock, why should he complain?
Are you implying the bible isn’t hippocritical?
Yes, the Bible has reached hippopotamus critical mass.
Only the Rhymenocerous can save us now.
Well, do you see kosher Jews eating hippo?
I don’t think the Bible ever took the hippocratic oath, no.
I don’t think either Mike nor Amber is Jewish, though, so it’d be kind of odd to have a rabbi officiating…
Well, they are getting married in a hurry /obscure reference.
I’m not sure Robin Hood: Men In Tights is really all that obscure.
In a day and age where there are individuals over the age of 14 that think Titanic was a work of fiction (and aren’t otherwise members of the Tinfoil Hat Brigade) I can’t blame anyone for making the assumption.
Um…the movie Titanic was a work of fiction. The ship itself wasn’t, of course, but the whole love story was made up.
- Ha on your Titanic reference. During the movie’s first run, I took my son who was all of 15 at the time to see it (he heard from some friends that there was some boobie in it). While the endless commercials were running, I turned to him and said “I’m going to spoil it for you, the boat sinks.”
- This young woman, who had to be 25 if she was a day, turned around from the row in front of us and said: “Thanks a whole lot, I spent $8 to see this and you’ve ruined it for me.”
- She got amazingly angry when I started laughing at her.
Sometimes, it feels like it is. Kids these days have no understanding of the classics.
Nah, Jesus is there. He’ll multiply the existing ones.
But it will be non-alcoholic wine.
actually this would work best if he had a fish.
Or sandwiches.
Mike slapped a fiiIIiish.
Monty Python style no less.
SPAM! Can historical Jesus make infinite Spam?
Sure he can. That’s basically what Jehova’s witnesses are
They go from place to place…. check
People want them to leave…. check
Others want them to stop talking.. check
… they ARE the Spam Vikings!
1:02 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwy2MPT5RE
He wanted to make fish food.
Omg Danny sweet beard!
I have to admit I was a little disappointed he wasn’t tagged as “Machete”.
Dude, he’s three! Kind of a violent name for a kid his size. Besides, don’t wanna fuck with the time stream.
Hey, toddlers like machetes! I mean, I think. Don’t quote me on that. It’s not like I’ve pitted my niece against her day care classmates in brutal combat or anything.
And it’s not like I lost fifty bucks betting on one of those matches.
…though I still say that your niece should have been tested for performance enhancing juiceboxes beforehand.
This conversation= wIN
He was given an offer he couldn’t refuse…
I thought Robin wasn’t able to marry people anymore since she lost her job.
She’s an ordained minister. I don’t think that has anything to do with her having been a State Rep.
Maybe Jesus will have to step in then.
Has anyone introduced Joyce to Jesus yet?
She might be disappointed, I bet she is more of a picture-book Jesus fan.
If he’s wearing the sash, she’ll be fine
Walkyverse Joyce is a little less conservative than DOA Joyce, if I recall. She only rediscovered her religion late in the story, questioned her faith in regards to things like Dina’s eventual fate, and eventually decided that premarital hanky panky was no big deal.
She was probably even more sexually neurotic that DOA Joyce, at least to begin with, but that wasn’t all due to her religion.
Yeah, she’s had a lot more growth than DoA Joyce.
Yes.. so much more growth… That occurred over years rather than DoA Joyce’s two weeks in college.
Point.
Lol, right? Same person, just different time scale.
Woot. Few people deserve your success more than you do. If you keep making them I’ll keep reading them.
And Mike wins the award for best reaction.
I read this on my smartphone, so I actually had to scroll down to see the punchline. It worked excellently.
I’m still tickled that Robin is the only one who rates her full name as a tag — and only because she shares a name with Batman’s ongoing child endangerment project.
“Ongoing child endangerment project” cracked me up more than the actual punchline.
Wow. I just got that.
dude…..danny has a beard
and OMG WALKY!!!
Yes, and as a result he looks like the love child of John Phillips and Steve Smith.
Nobody should look like John Philips and Steve Smith’s love child. Billie needs to hold him down and shave him.
I forgot what Billie looked when she isn’t being a bitch, she’s purty. Also, Danny beard.
Ohmygod is that a little Bobby Walkerton?! And look how big Danny’s daughter is! And DANNYBEARD whaaaaat.
Congratulations Willis! And thanks for all the hard work you’ve put into this, not only for today, but for the past 15 years. You rock, dude!
Holy crap baby Bobby.
There is just so much to love about this I don’t even know where to begin. There’s Joe–someone yesterday called this–actually in Hawaiian-shirt-esque dress-up. There’s Danny’s beard, though hopefully Willis was lying when he said he’s teaching Sunday school. There’s DJ, aging in real-time. There’s that bizarrely smug look on Sal’s face, and Galasso’s complete deadpan expression. Jason’s bowtie, of course. There’s the ‘stage’ being on top of the check-out counter.
And then there’s Stephan. Who’s kid is Stephan? A part of me really wants it to be Sal and Jason’s, but that just opens a whole new can of backstory worms. Ah well.
Oh, yes, and Mike’s reaction is priceless. Nice save, dude.
I think Stephan might be the name of Danny and Billie’s son.
Nevertheless there is at least one more kid than should really be there, by my count.
Bobby is the only kid we haven’t seen before.
Huh. Okay then. Golden-haired kid in Leslie’s arms is throwing me for a loop.
*facepalm*
That’s DONNA and I’m a f***ing idiot.
…would you like a memory-restoring sammich..?
I think the problem may be the prolonged Machete exposure in Joyce and Walky!.
That’s, um, that’s Donna, that’s Mike and Amber’s kid who has been a character in the comic lately…
I thought DJ was their son and the oldest? Or did I miss something in the subscription J&W!s?
DJ was only a dude in the alternate universe, and his mom is Sal. In our universe, Billie and Danny’s first child is female.
So Bobby is Danny & Billie’s son and Stephen is Joyce & Walky’s son?
Ah, no, had this backwards apparently.
Other way around.
Ah, thanks. Saw references on Twitter and was putting 2 and 2 together, but…
Ah, got it. Thanks.
Wait wait, what universe was this?! I believe I’ve missed something!
The DJ you’re thinking of is Danny and Sal’s son from an alternate timeline, the DJ in this time line Danny and Billie’s oldest daughter. I didn’t buy the subscription Joyce and Walky strips myself and only know this from Walkypedia, which I no longer know how to get to.
And now that I think about it one of the free J&W strips from a few years ago showed Billie pregnant with their second child.
Woops! someone beat me to it!
Ha ha ha classic Galasso his face is priceless
They got him to put on a suit, though, so at least he’s participating. Probably had to give every guest a CPR pamphlet in return for him doing that.
Or, you know, perhaps he’s capable of caring about his peons, in his own warped way.
Nah…
Joyce is doing a pretty great impression of Overly Attached Girlfriend.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh0AhrY9GjA
Oh god why would you remind me of that
This is so awesome…and all the kids are giving me a cute attack.
My first thought: Galasso looks good in a tux.
How do you know? He’s not wearing one.
Yeah, that’s just a suit.
Agreed with Thor, that’s a suit. Tuxes are different, although I’m not really sure what exactly is different about them.
Tails? Is it the tails? Or the black-and-white only restriction?
black-and-white only restriction?? Have you never seen THIS??
http://www.perfectweddingguide.com/wedding-blog/index.php/2009/07/02/throw-back-thursday-the-powder-blue-tuxedo-with-ruffled-shirt/
Oops. Indeed, my mistake.
Also I like that Malaya just straight isn’t there.
Genuinely like it.
Tomorrow’s comic will be very disappointing for you, then.
Galasso is amused…..inside.
Seriously, this is the best.
Congratulations on 15 years in webcomics, Willis!
Okay, so since this was all set up without Mike’s knowledge, who picked the groomsmen? And how did Joyce get to be a bridesmaid?
And do either of Mike or Amber actually know Danny and Billie?
Dude, anniversary. Don’t question it, just role with it.
They met during Joyce and Walky Maybe?
I recall an old Joyce & Walky comic where Joyce communicated with Amber over the internet back when Amber was more of a shut-in.
And it’s this reason I dub thee “Master of Continuity”.
I seem to recall seeing Amber, Mike, and Leslie in the background of promo J&W images that Willis has been posting on his Tumblr this week, too.
Yep! Specifically looking for a maid of honor, no less.
And then Sal convinced Joyce that Amber was probably an old dude.
None of this surprises me at all. Have I been reading these comics too long?
Mike doesn’t like anybody so it doesn’t matter who was designated groomsmen. Considering that the wedding is being held at Shortpacked I doubt Amber will be taking Conquest’s job offer. They’re too much like a family for her to do that.
He likes Jason! He willingly got drunk around him back in the old days.
Mike doesn’t like anyone. He just has people he’s willing to stand next to.
.. for a while, until he wants to hurt someone. Again. And maybe throw the dead bodies beside him at something.
Or this could be the perfect opportunity for her to make the sad announcement.
The miracle of the friendship network.
I think they might’ve met up at some point during the whole Martian battle? Maybe?… Or Robin just called Joe and said “Dude, I need extra wedding guests, can you bring some that you’re not gonna and have never slept with? Preferably ones that aren’t Transformers?”
Actually, if Joyce had continued looking for bridesmaids on pony chatrooms Amber probably would’ve been her maid of honor. Only fitting, really.
Or Vanessa Huggins which is something I’d love to see.
Beards are how you show age!
I would want Jesus to come to my wedding too. Honestly, I’d settle for just a wedding.
Maybe he’ll turn the water into wine and feed everyone with just the sandwiches they have.
Awww.. what cute children.
Okay, so I’m not the only one who thought this? Good.
Is this the first time we’ve seen Danny & Billie’s kids after DJ? (I am not subscribed to J&W yet so perhaps they’ve been seen there.)
Nope! Both kids are at the Walky wedding.
Ah, I see. I really should get that subscription when I have extra moneiz. In 2017 or thereabouts.
You don’t need to subscribe anymore! The whole thing is $35, something I wish I could’ve foreseen happening when I bought it.
I kid. I’ll pay for any shit Willis puts out.
I wish I could pay for it. DAMN YOU CURRENCY RATE!
Well played, Willis. Well played.
I love that Joe’s just wearing a tie over a hawaiin shirt…and it’s a hawaiin tie
I will laugh so hard if he’s got matching Hawaiian pants.
Or clashing Hawaiian pants.
And he’s STILL rockin the bow-tie.
Remember, bowties are cool.
Great, just great. And typically Mike has THE reaction.
Congratulations Willis! Youre fantastic.
Well played.
I must say Danny and Joe looks good with a beard.
They are such bros that they just, KNEW to grow them together.
Haha totally
Joe needed a good way to bro-bond that doesn’t involve nudity and drums this time.
Aww, li’l Roomies-lettes!
Where is Reagan?
Reagan got caught in traffic.
Reagan’s waiting next to Aslan for the bus.
So who’s kid is Leslie holding? Joyce and Walky’s? The only other apparent answer would be that she’s been pregnant all this time.
…That’s Donna.
Don’t worry, that tripped me up too.
But Joyce and Walky’s kid is in attendance, yeah.
Leslie’s like a Tribble. She was born pregnant.
This is rather satisfying, but what will Mike do (aside from get more sandwiches)
Get married.
Or better yet, not get married, just to be an ass.
The whole relationship, baby included, is just a long con leading up to a “your mom” joke years in the making.
He already did that joke. When he found out that Amber was pregnant.
Your mom. For a nickel.
MIKE! Don’t forget extra tomatoes!
And mayo. And now I wait for Wack’d.
…That’s not mayo, that’s my wife!
*ba dum ch*
But Mike brings the Mayo… not Wack’d. Mike Mayo is the only Mayo for meo oh mio. Oh Rio… That got away from me there…
Waaaaait… this isn’t mayo… it’s Thousand Island! Even BETTER!
That is incredibly thoughtful coming from Mike XD Congratulations for the aniversary!
So it’s a wedding and an anniversary. Now that’s what I call a milestone event.
another day and it would be 3 things…>.>
A wedding, an anniversary, and a Tuesday?
But for me… it was Tuesday.
Yeah, it’s almost like David planned it out.
Is there a reason that Mike’s parents and Amber’s Mom aren’t among the guests?
I mean, who’s gonna give Amber away? Will it be Faz since he may be her half brother? Or will it be Jacob because he had sex with Amber’s mom? Inquiring minds want to know.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re just offscreen, along with Ronnie and perhaps a few other folks.
Yeah, entire wedding processions usually don’t have that few people. There’s bound to be a few folks cut off by the panel boarders.
Yeah, but entire weddings also aren’t usually put together in mere days (how long has it been, actually?) without either of the participants’ knowledge or consent. Or held in toy stores. Or have Jesus in the crowd.
Really, there’s a lot of stuff going on here.
Awww! Joyce and Walkys kids! And Sal! And Jason!
Too beautiful for words!
Shouldn’t The Historical Jesus™ be officiating?
Nah, Amber and Mike aren’t Jewish.
So they aren’t gonna get carried around on a chair? Damn.
Mike WILL stomp on a wine glass, though. Not out of tradition, just so the kids have some nice shards to play with.
But if they are some version of Christian that would make them Reformist Jews ….. yeah, I know, it gets everyone on all sides upset when I say that. >_<
Anybody else thing Billie’s kid looks like Walky?
Depends on if you think Billie’s kid is the buckedtoothed guy next to DJ–because that is in fact Walky’s kid.
The actual other Wilcox kid…not really. Sorry.
I think he means the brown haired one next to the buck-toothed one.
Oh yeah! DJ could be a gender-swapped Walky, sure.
SO VERY VERY PLEASED ABOUT THIS
Nice to see that Jacob has a smile on his face. He took news of Amber’s engagement to Mike kinda hard, hopefully this means he’s over it.
Or, y’know, he likes her and doesn’t want to ruin her special day by being all bitter and whatnot.
He’s got a new crush.
He’s gonna imprint on Donna.
…
I’ll show myself out.
Much appreciated, Mr. Willis!
…It’s only just occurred to me that almost everyone has one big, triangular bang coming down.
ssshhhh
Artistic secrets revealed!
Yeah, but can he draw that bang facing the other way?
Yay for Jason cameo. And in the same room as Sal.
I think there’s about a dozen other cameos.
Does Danny and Billie know Mike? I mean, Danny was present during the Cheese debacle when Sal went crazy with the Power Booster Rod, but I don’t recall them having any sort of interaction.
They were all at the wedding.
I cannot believe how happy this made me. It’s like seeing all of my old friends again after so long apart.
Is Faz scaring anyone else?
But this is so cute aaaa
I love the way that Galasso looks like he is sleepy and can’t figure out what the hell all these people are doing. And why must he wear a suit? Surely the mystery will unfold itself in time.
is the new website going to have all the pay stuff for free view too? doesnt matter if it does, just reseeing the story is cool itself. grats on the comic birthday and stuff
Also. Some people chose to have children at the beginning of adulthood. You chose to give birth to a series of webcomics.
I think you probably made the right choice.
Waitwaitwait!
You’re saying Shortpacked is more than half the age of the entire Willisverse?
Holy farking shitburger I’m old!
A wonderful composite picture, with a perfect punchline.
No snarky comments today Willis, you done good. This here farm is gonna be yours real soon now.
This pretty much tops the list of things that Robin has done right. Nothing selfish or anything. She’s just doing something extremely nice for people she cares about (unless she’s still trying to get in Amber’s pants, but I don’t think so).
Getting her married to someone else would be a WEIRD way to get in somebody’s pants.
… And Robin just might do it…
“Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in health, andalsohaveaweeklythreesomewithRobin, as long as you both shall live?”
“I d-wait, what?”
I was gonna say that. She’s definitely matured a bit.
Though, let’s be honest. It’s a bit of an ego boost to be able to say you got an entire wedding together in 48 hours- but I still wouldn’t call it selfish.
Superspeed helps.
Ooo, I wonder how Mike will decide which one he’ll marry?
Today I learned that I share my birthday with one of my favorite webcomics, who knew!
Is Donna in Bridesmaid’s dress?
It makes me sad Ronnie aint in here
He’s in the can. Old people, you know.
Ok, this makes reading the last 10 years worth of archives over the weekend worth it!
*squee* Walky babies. And Mike is right. He’s definitely gonna need to get more sandwiches.
Walky…Baaaaaaabies, we make our dreams come true
Walky…Baaaaaaabies, we’ll do the same for you…
I’m commenting for the first time just to say that having Walky smile at me as I’m starting the second leg of a double shift is making me insanely happy.
Excuse me, I need to go look at something non-adorable or I might explode.
I love how at least a third of these comments are about the kids and babies.
F’in breeders, man.
Can we get a larger version of the picture with annotations of who is who so those of us who aren’t intimately familiar with all of the characters can tell them apart? Especially whose kids are whose?
I’m no big expert, but with prior knowledge, the cast page, the tag list, and a bit of interpretation, I give you the text version of the key…
Left hand side, from top:
Ken, Ethan, Jason, Galasso, Joe, Roz, Jesus, Faz
Right hand side, from top (and L-R where necessary):
Jacob, Leslie (and Donna), Joyce, Danny, Billie (and… Stephen?), Sal, Walky
Top centre, L-R:
Robin, Amber
Bottom centre, L-R:
Mike (inset), …DJ?, Bobby
As for who they are, their relations to each other etc … go read the archives. It’s your turn to do it, now.
DJ’s correct, and so is Stephen. Though I don’t think he’s been named before this.
I can’t say I’m actually familiar with the kids. There are gaps in my reading history, and some of the stuff may be paid content, which I haven’t got to yet.
Though if stumping up does indeed bring access to what looks like a kickass J/W wedding throwdown I might go for it…
Do it, man! I’ll be honest, it’s probably the most tightly-written thing Willis has ever done. Certainly it’s my personal favorite.
This is awesome, but it makes one wonder why all these people are still friends with Mike after ~15 years of generalized abuse.
(Also I’m disappointed that Walky doesn’t have a Riker-beard)
best explanation: they all were like “…Mike will HATE that. This I gotta see.”
alternately – all the old SEMME people are like “Mike? Mike WARNER? Is getting WHAT? Oh, THIS I gotta see.”
Pretty much, yeah
I’m just trying to figure out whose kids are whose at this point, anyway. The squirrel-boy is an obvious Joyalky, the other two, presumably Billie x Danny but not 100% sure.
DJ and Stephen are Danny and Billie’s, yeah, where as little Machete is Joyce and Walky’s.
…Machete?!
XD
Well, Bobby. They didn’t name him Machete. But he travels back in time from the future during Joyce and Walky!, during which we find out about a certain…skill set he has that’s become the basis for a nickname.
You can tell I need more sleep – my first thought was, “hmm, when did Robin and Amber meet?”
Do you know what I like? Sal’s expression. It’s so delightfully smug. Like she’s laughing at Mike for having, despite all his attempts at hating everything, STILL gotten tangled in all this messy love business.
WHY DO YOU INVITE FAZ TO A WEDDING
(i mean besides the narrative necessity of “put all the major characters in one strip”)
SERIOUSLY WHY DO YOU INVITE FAZ TO A WEDDING
It’s alright. He’s getting laid now, with alarming regularity. He might not be QUITE as obnoxious / cruising for a restraining order.
Whether Amber likes it or not, they’re family.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
However:
This does lead to a dangerous possibility that he might get drunk. Not necessarily on purpose.
Hopefully everyone will just assume his usual sour nature has been overcome by uncharacteristic happiness for a scant few hours.
Mike’s not the only person there who shouldn’t be drinking. Don’t want Walky and Sal to spend the reception passed out, after all.
Oh my gosh, nostalgia attack. Too cute for words.
I just wonder – I know little Donna, and I recognize DJ and Bobby (awww look at how big they are already!!!), but I had no idea Danny and Billie had another kid! What’s the little tyke’s name?
Stephen, apparently. It’s in the tags.
To me he will always be “Obama-baby”.
Also, keep in mind DJ was born on the 10th anniversary. That’d make her five now.
Height’s about right in that case.
Dave Willis: real-time details-master.
…though the adult characters don’t really seem to have aged as much. Danny could have grown that beard in six months flat.
As Willis has mentioned in other places, his style doesn’t lend itself to aging lines on the faces of thirty-somethings.
This is just so awesome. All the characters I’ve read in the past 10 years, and showing their continued development… brings a tear to my eye. And it’s so great to see the old gang again.
Sal’s wearing her formal blue biker jacket, I see.
This is incredible! and amazing!
Well done on reaching 15. On to the 30…and then to 50
and mayyyybe 100?!
If, Cheese willing, he lives that long.
Why aren’t Mike’s co-workers from McAwesome’s here? Or for that matter, Amber’s Half-siblings Rose and Zaph? If Faz is there surely they should be.
Again, I doubt this is the entire wedding party. These are just the most cameoriffic characters possible considering the date.
As someone whos been reading since about a year into It’s Walky, this comic made me tear up a little. Also, as someone who visits IU at least 4 times a year, HORRARY ROOMIES!
no sandwitches instead getting into a tux and saying i do. knew robin was planning a wedding. and congrats on the aniversary
can not believe fifteen years already of web comics
This strip is severely lacking Conquest.
-airfox
I’d be lying if I said this didn’t make me tear up a bit. I never thought I could get so emotionally invested into a Webcomic series before discovering Shortpacked. Now these comics are really the only Webcomics I keep up with.
Congratulations David.
Also, Danny beard?
Not sure if want, but cool either way
Danny seems like he’s the most excited to see Mike out of everyone there. He’s waving with enthusiasm of a small puppy wagging its tail, waiting at the door when you walk in. I’m almost completely certain they aren’t friends, or even acquaintances. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that they’ve never even talked to each other.
It’s because Danny is a big friggin’ girl and he loves weddings more than everyone else in the world. It could be Hitler walking in through that door and his reaction would be the same.
Did DJ inherit her father’s love of weddings? She looks even more thrilled.
Is there any chance of this page being made into a poster, cuz seriously, i just can’t stop smiling while i looking at this and would like to have that happen ALL THE TIME.
and oh my god…walky and joyce’s son….the most adorable thing i’ve ever seen!
Joyce looks beautiful in that Bridesmaids dress. Good to see her and Walky together again. I bet she made a Beautiful bride and looked radiant Pregnant, and their kid is cute. Got his Moms’ eyes.
Okay so I’m crushing on Joyce a little…Shes a cutie.
Plus Amber looks Radiant.
Mister Willis, I have been reading your comics for a very long time.
I have to say that this page made me tear up, seeing all these faces again.
And yeah, I know, I see Walky and Joyce and everyone else quite often when I read ‘Dumbing of Age’.
But while I like that comic very much and read it enthusiastically, it’s not the exact same characters that I’ve been following for so very long.
That’s these guys. All here.
Thank you, and congratulations on the Walkyverse’s 15th!
D’aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww!!!!! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside after seeing this strip.
Good to see the whole gang!
Missing Dina >.>
I’m not 100% sure, but I think she’s Actually Dead in this universe? Got killed waaaaay before Mike did, and in a much messier fashion with other elements responsible for the cleanup.
Yeah, Dina’s been pretty dead.
And, yet, they resurrected Mike and NOT Dina?
Whoever “they” is is not SEMME, remember? At least probably not.
In the time since Walky used the chamber, there’s been time for exactly nine resurrections. And the waiting list is pretty damn long, long enough at least for Jason to be seriously concerned when Walky seems to have died again.
Ten, sorry.
Hell of an Aniverseray Willis. When did Robin get ordained?
Maybe it’s one of those things that comes along with being a member of congress, kind of like it does with being a sea captain?
Joe and Danny, beardbros 4 life!
Congrats Willis and good comic today.
Haha. Galasso’s expression is great.
Wait, who are those kids?
I theorize there’s 2 kids from Billie and Danny and the one with the blue eyes should be Joyce and Walky’s.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA BILLIE AND DANNY’S KIDS ARE SO CUUUUUUUUUUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Joyce’s expression reminds me too much of Overly Attached Girlfriend and scares me *has just started reading Roomies!*
