Two people will understand this strip. Three at the most.

Person one will be Coreyww, who on Tumblr reminded me of the existence of a certain older strip. Person two will be Wack'd, who essentially wrote this. Third person for margin of error.

OH MY FUCKING GOD LOL. I cannot believe I paid a small part in this existing but I’m glad I did lol

Alexis Smith

The only thing I understand about this comic is Boosters reaction to what's going on.

Yue Ryong

I remember! Mostly because I saw the tumblr post.

Lyman Green

I’m not one of the three. But flaming skulls are ok by me

Emily Lamont

This is so fucking good Willis. I'm eating good with the break up suffering. Also, get Walky estrogen. Thank you.

Arren Meuchel

how are Booster's eyebrows that high up

Dot

I get the human skull of course, it’s the bible verse that’s tripping me up here.

Pangab

Matthew 19:4-6 New International Version 4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” I assume this is Walky taking the breakup badly? Update: Reread the referenced strip. Dotty needs to duck!

Proto_Eevee

Good thing it didn't spoil

Joe Crow - Words & Pictures

No, no, no, you gotta wait until she’s in RANGE, Walky, you fool! Now you’re gonna hafta run screaming through the halls with a burning skull in your hands until you find her! …oh wait, no, that’s awesome, you’re right.

Zesstra

I recently reread the Walkyverse strips and I'm sad to say nothing is leaping to mind.

Simon Magid

And lo, Dumbing of Age has entered the Age of Skulls (no, I have no idea what that means but it sounds metal)

A. B. Cianchetti

"Fine, assholes, HERE'S your post-timeskip Mike"

Sibre Collard

Dorothy better watch out. Getting hit by that wouldn't be serious, but it wouldn't be much fun, either. Except, of course, for the onlookers.

Zesstra

I've read the explanation! Dammit, I also did like my tenth reread of DoA this year, I should have got this!

Dev

Yeah you're WAY underestimating how many people would get this lol

The Mela Experience

(reads explanation) Can't really blame Booster for being psyched about what's gonna happen next...

Lauralot

What was the post?

CoreyWW

The blank stare into the flames really sell this

Packy Anderson

We're very thankful that you said it was time for this promise to come true.

Fart Captor

I'm people and I don't get it so I feel their estimate was correct 🤔

Diane

Before reading comments, I could of swore Walky wanted to burn a skull when he and Dorothy broke up.

Diane

Admittedly I forgot he was gonna throw it at her.

Ben Wray

Booster is just delighted that it's both a literal AND metaphorical trash fire!

Megh

i love being the margin of error

Lethurblaka

I understand, and its great!

UVS

When Christians try to Wicca?

Harold

Someone's already posted the link in another thread, but I'll leave mine up anyway. No, I didn't remember it off the top of my head; I searched the Dorothy+Walky tag, briefly but intensely, until I found it.

Harold

"Some [people] just want to watch the [human skull inscribed with a bible verse] burn"

Jeremy AR

Where did they get this skull? Why is it so flammable? These are questions that are not worth answering

LexiByDay

I cannot tell your 4s from your 9s. is it 14.4.6 or 14.9.6 or 19.4.6 or 19.9.6? I do not know

Dan Rabin

We can tell by hid positioning against the background that Walky has moved in the last panel, presumably to throw the flaming skull at Dorothy, who was on her high-school cross-country team but has no known skill at volleyskull.

Harold

Dorothy ducks at the last second as the flaming skull hurtles towards her. It hits Mary instead. There is much rejoicing.

Leaf

BOOSTER INTENSIFIES

zee

Man I wasnt even allowed to have a candle in my dorm and he gets to do this shit?

zee

My guess is cardboard or paper mache. Maybe wood

Amós Batista

Finally some supernatural content. Take that, Darwin!

The other Alan

I remembered the reference, but didn't see this bonus strip until just now, dammit... Stupid day job that pays all my bills instead of letting me be online 24/7....

Eric Barkman

Despite having read the Tumblr post relatively recently, I had forgotten it while reading the comic and only remember it upon reading the text below. So my initial thinking was that it was something Ghost Rider related, but the verses in question didn't seem particularly Ghost Rider related.

Amelie W

Some sort of penance for "divorcing" Dorothy, going by the Bible reference. But who even told Walky to read a book?

Samel da Camel

Just want to say I really like the art on this one (the way the flames reflect on Walky's face, tho his jumper must be pretty greasy to be shiny like that - same one he ate 200 McNuggets in?).

Derek Leader

This is probably not the day of the police raid?

AE Gonzalez

Booster so excited, their eyebrows pooped out of their head.

LexiByDay

ah I understand the joke now

Harold

And why does it have a notable dent in the front and the faint trace of a moustach-- OH SHIT

Astariel

I hope Walky can find Dorothy before he sets off a smoke detector. Love how psyched Booster looks.

Steve McSheffrey

Wasn't the strip this pays off shown on Tumblr recently?

Logibear

It's.... what he would have wanted?

Maude Reads Things

I didn't see the bible verse at first and was like 'Walky is now Ghost rider?'

Axel

I think you're underestimating your audience

DramaQueen

Do you? Perhaps you can explain it for those who didn’t grow up with the Christian Bible. I don’t know what strip he is talking about either.

Ragtime

Best callback ever

DramaQueen

Thank you so much! I enjoyed that one quite a bit.

Amelie W

Okaay it's a deep callback. I kind of liked the mystical penance ritual theory though.

Sajuuk-Khar

Walky meant what he said and he said what he meant

Axel

from a quick google 4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (New International Version)

Bajja

Can you explain to me plz

Ragtime

Wayyyyy back when Walky and Dorothy were dating, Dorothy remarked on how Danny's mother world send her stuff with martial virtues from the Bible. Walky said he would want a fake skull so inscribed that he would burn upon their breakup

Mark

Sure was.

Joseph

I appreciate Walky’s commitment to the bit

Sazazezer

Now i just want one extra panel where the grease ignites and Walky starts screaming.

Jesse

…Are you okay?
