Yeah, people definitely called it: Dorothy's idea would work right up until Lucy started saying "I love you" to Walky and expecting to hear it back. That was going to happen *well* before anything really changed on Walky's end, so it was actually terrible advice.

2023-12-12 19:15:10 +0000 UTCSee this would've been perfect to say when it happened but now it's gonna look to Lucy like this is related to his parents.

2023-12-12 17:52:12 +0000 UTCThe problem is she doesn't know that she misunderstood him and now if he tries to tell her that it looks like he's backing out because of his parents. This is why we're honest in the first place, Walky!

2023-12-12 16:26:27 +0000 UTCWhile I don’t want it to end badly for either of them I really want there to be clarity for Lucy so she doesn’t continue to invest and expect more out of the relationship ship with Walky than he is able to give her. As I am old enough to be either of their parents I feel protective of both: walky should be able to just have a relationship that doesn’t have to include the L word but Lucy shouldn’t be hurt unnecessarily by some careless boy who will let her believe something to avoid confrontation. I feel for both of them.

I think it's important to note he did want to clarify to Lucy what he meant soon after it happened but also got some advice that would bite him in the butt. (edit: going back and reading the comments on those pages, you can see all the people who called this right from when he got the bad advice)

2023-12-12 12:24:34 +0000 UTC“Lucy, I like you plenty, but I’m not quite ready for the big L word yet. I think what you heard was a parallel food related love. I’m sorry I didn’t clarify earlier, that was because I didn’t want to harsh your vibe. Because I Like you!”

2023-12-12 11:07:33 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, the timing is gonna kill any attempt to clarify. Before he could've explained himself but now it DOES look like he's backing out because of his parent's racism. You'd have to be very convincing to talk your way out of this one.

2023-12-12 07:43:29 +0000 UTCYou know, I used to think that when Lucy blushed and was into it when Jennifer talked about Walky using her as a sex receptacle it meant she was just that into Walky, but uh, I guess she’s just really good at substituting what she wants against an unpleasant reality, huh?

2023-12-12 07:00:07 +0000 UTCGod, this baby. „Lucy, we’re still very early in our relationship, I want to give them word love the power and respect it deserves. I know you heard me say it before, but I’m fairly certain in that moment I was referring to a different thing, but didn’t want to make a scene in front of your brother. For not clarifying it afterwards, I am certainly to blame. I enjoy you and want to continue spending time with you, but love needs more time for me. “

2023-12-12 06:27:12 +0000 UTCThis whole relationship has been giving me unpleasant flashbacks to the first time I dated someone since Walky met Lucy’s brother. This strip in particular is making them hit with full force.
