Yes, suddenly the storyline title ("But Don't Give Yourself Away") being a line from "Surrender" is taking on an ominous cast.

2023-05-21 15:26:55 +0000 UTCOr - and here's another trope with which TV expert Walky would be familiar - Walky never told his parents that he and Dorothy broke up, and when she comes out of the building she and Lucy are blindsided by Walky rushing to her and pretending they're still together. Hijinks ensue!

2023-05-21 15:25:47 +0000 UTCSo what are the odds Linda gets pissed Walky’s dating Lucy and decides to physically force Dorothy into the mix only to find her hung over?

2023-05-21 10:07:14 +0000 UTCWe know that Walky backed up Sal in the parental conflict over the holiday break. Maybe they have new habits.

2023-05-21 07:44:51 +0000 UTCIt's as if she actually believes that he conjured them up. I think this is funny, because Sal isn't usually interested in pop-culture tropes.

2023-05-21 07:42:58 +0000 UTCReminds me of the <i>Val and Isaac</i> comic where Val gets offended at the suggestion a critter sees her as its mom. "I've been nothing but nice to them!"

2023-05-21 07:32:57 +0000 UTCMercifully it's not a weekend so I'm hoping the twins are about to escape to class

2023-05-21 06:38:50 +0000 UTCAlso what the fuck, Walky, "older, meaner, and everyone's a bit frightened of them" is what you think parents are supposed to be like? I remember him being so disturbed by Joyce's parents being problematic. And he's picked up on some of his parents' troubling behaviors. But apparently he still accepts this one as normal.

2023-05-21 06:37:59 +0000 UTCSal’s eyes in P4- so accusatory. As a twin she doesn’t need words.

2023-05-21 06:33:34 +0000 UTCIs it bad that my first reaction to panel 3 was "oh wow they're actually acknowledging _both_ of their children"?

2023-05-21 06:25:28 +0000 UTCYour mommy’s alright* Your daddy’s alright** They just seem a little weird*** (*: No. **: Hahahaha no. ***: They “seem”?!? No. No, we learned from Freshmen Family Weekend and we know that if this is that again, it’s Hell Week in disguise)

2023-05-21 06:12:30 +0000 UTCI finally managed to get my payments in order to temporarily get back into the early patreon updates and they blind side me with this. I wasn't prepared for Walkerton parents...is this another family weekend thing? Shit should we expect Carol to show up next?

2023-05-21 05:48:26 +0000 UTC"Horror" sums up my reaction pretty well, yeah

2023-05-21 05:06:32 +0000 UTClove seeing sarah checking to make sure she didn't go too far but also THIS WAS UNEXPECTED

2023-05-21 05:03:19 +0000 UTCThis is going to be horrifying.
