Yes, Walky. Yes, it is. That's often the beginning of if, anyway.

IF THIS IS IT PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Joe Crow - Words & Pictures

Sadly, my guy, that’s probably the most succinct definition of maturity we’ve got right now.

Logibear

Oh Walky. You should know that APATHY IS DEATH

Johanne

Oh shoot the polycule potential may return, will ¡Dorothy! be the person to suggest it???

Harold

"No, I mean literally pick up something heavy and knock yerselves out"

Lazuli

soooo over/under on if walky and dorothy remain friends?

C

Dorothy: ...Huh, imagine we kissed, but one of us still had a boyfriend long term. That might have been fun. Joyce: ...*furiously dialing Joe*

Jamie (QueenofSodor)

uh oh! forthright communication about your desires could've prevented all of this chaos! who'd've thunk it

voyager-ngc5195

As someone once said, walk softly but carry a doesn't-give-a-fuck stick. Or something like that.

Andrea Andrew

Dorothy: I….could’ve avoided drama by simply admitting I wanted Joyce sooner? Walky would’ve let me have her? Would….Joe have let Joyce date me? Joyce:about that…. Dorothy: is this polyamory? Joyce: I guess.

darklion

Maturity is being able to pretend not to give a shit.

Andrea Andrew

Lucy, no. Don’t fall for him anymore.

Jamie (QueenofSodor)

she's actually trying to make an effort vis a vis not pouring salt in the wound, so i imagine her chances are better than joyce's

MDL

Walky strikes me as someone who is too lazy to avoid someone out of spite, but if his previous interactions these past few strips with Joyce are anything to go off of he's not going to be mincing his words on how he feels about them either

5099 5618 v2.0

Further turn of the knife: Dorothy is now likely remembering that she was trying to talk to Walky about her and Joyce, a conversation that could have gone a bit differently [1] *if she'd been allowed to actually have it* [1] - See also: "Joyce's conversation(s) with Joe*

Star Ringer

oh honey, that's not maturity, that's petty as fuck

5099 5618 v2.0

@C Joe: (/gets a phone call) (/sees Joyce's number) "...y'know what? Nah. Not today. I'll see her in class, anyway."

Astariel

Yeah, Walky, that's pretty much it. Interesting to get some insight into how he would have felt about Joyrothy pre-cheating. Considering how antagonistic his relationship with Joyce has always been, I'm a bit surprised.

5099 5618 v2.0

@Logibear I thought that's what our flag means.

Harold

Dorothy wanted a new drug

Crunchos cereal

But which is the third date in a polycule?

5099 5618 v2.0

@Andrea Andrew It's like the polyamory equivalent of a "Batman: Year One" story

Harold

I know Joyce is being The Butt To End All Butts Here, but panel 2 Joynk is adorpable.

MDL

I know people will jump to the "polycule solution" but if it does come up, I actually think Walky would say no: It's clear who Dorothy truly wants to be with, and Joyce has just so thoroughly burned the bridge of friendship with Walky that I can't imagine he'd want to be in any sort of relationship with her being adjacent. Joe might be the only one open to it, Walky seems like he's just done with it.

Lisa

Jennifer in the background thinking "Hell yeah, I'm the most mature person here."

Maude Reads Things

Sometimes not giving a fuck is the road to maturity. Not sure that's how I'd characterize his path to maturity in general but still. And goddammit I could've kept BOTH my preferred ships if they'd talked first, I am going to SCREAM. Damn you Willis (/affectionate).

Maude Reads Things

Yeah, I think the key phrase with him is "if they'd asked first". Too late now

Astariel

Isn't Jennifer always thinking that?

GundamBradley

Dorothy did more or less pitch a threesome to him, so while he says this, who knows. That said, he's doing his best here, not much else to be done.

GundamBradley

"Hey, Jacob, wanna make a Lucy Sandwich?"

5099 5618 v2.0

@Johanne I think the polycule will eventually form. I'm not sure who will be in it, given how Joyce is getting on the nerves of a bunch of the people who seem like they might be candidates, but given how much these two already seem to be chafing at monogamy, it seems inevitable. Then again, so does the sun swallowing the Earth, someday.

5099 5618 v2.0

@GundamBradley Joyce and Walky having a threesome with *anyone* in this timeline is one of those things that would likely take *so* long to set up. Like, not on a "earth gets swallowed by sun" scale as much as "time required for every last star to go out".

Rachel Baker

Not giving a shit about certain things is a big part of maturity, but also giving a shit about other certain things is ALSO maturity. How exhausting!

Oh godddddd yessssssss I've been so eagerly waiting for the walky crashoutttttt

DramaQueen

Or so he says. Probably just to get the knife in a little bit.

DramaQueen

Exactly. He’s twisting the knife trying to make Dorothy feel bad.

Gale Tazzin

it's exactly the same as when he stopped giving a shit about his hair, with the exact same people finding it attractive

Ed Marshall

I'm sorry, I'm shipping walky x dorothy x joyce x joe, I'm trying to correct my brain but it just keeps spontaneously creating ever-expanding polycules, I'll seek help for this

Tessea

Uhhh... Lucy. I'm trying not to read into what you've been saying this morning, but it's getting harder to ignore. Also, Jennifer is just left wondering how she _stopped_ being the center of attention/Drama.

Crunchos cereal

Soon it will be the Charles solution. (NOT Charlie as I first wrote.)

MrShoggoth

Fun fact! There’s a growing consensus that the earth might not actually be swallowed by the sun, due to an growth of the planet’s orbit in a few billion years’ time and the low density of the sun’s outer layers as it expands. Earth will still be scorched, but, if the math holds up, it’ll most likely physically survive!

joe mcguire

Hey Lucy? Did you know that someone can say something with perfectly fine intentions, but it’s woefully unhelpful?

5099 5618 v2.0

@Crunchos cereal You mean D.E.N.N.I.S.?

5099 5618 v2.0

@GundamBradley Jacob: (/takes off headphones) "Sorry, had a podcast on. What'd you say, Alice?"

Harold

@Crunchos cereal: I believe you mean the *Charles* solution (as in Charles Walkerton, as in the fuckpile suggestion). Charlie is an entirely different character, in so many ways.

Crunchos cereal

True, I was thinking of Charles! Thank you for the clarification!

5099 5618 v2.0

@Harold I think tB2EaB might still be the [ Amber | Amazi-Girl ] system's chassis, although [ Billie | Jennifer ] is a close second.

Harold

Exit, pursued by a bi (several, in fact)

Andrea Andrew

So Dorothy and Joyce could’ve avoided all the relationship fallout with their friends and former partners if they’d listened to Sierra?

Harold

What does walking around barefoot have to do with anything? /j

Andrea Andrew

Where’s that comic? I’d like to revisit that conversation.

The Balloon Animal

Bro needs some new friends. I wonder if this is how Raidah tries to get her claws into him

Harold

@The Balloon Animal: Walky sees right through her bullshit, though. He ain't *that* vulnerable.

Astariel

I don't know. There's a big distance between kissing a little bit and having tons of sex and being joined at the hip. I don't know if Walky would be okay with the latter, and I'm pretty sure Joyrothy would find it hard to refrain from doing the latter.

Andrea Andrew

So despite Walky’s admission here, there would still be a breakup between him and Dorothy, I guess. Joe really is the only dude we know of that would be down for polyamory.

5099 5618 v2.0

@AA Sure, but the thing about poly IRL is that it's often the person who shit-talks it the most who ends up telling you she's got five boyfriends, all of a sudden.
