Tonight, we get another one-strip scene change. I guess one Becky strip was enough to fill Willy's lesbian quota for several months.
And I hate to say it, but I agree with Walky in almost every line he spoke in this strip. I'm as Scottish as they come. Shepard's Pie is an abomination to tongues everywhere.
You know it in your hearts to be true, fellow Scotsman.
Isn't shepherd's pie just mince, onions, and gravy topped with mashed potatoes with any other additions being solely the discretion of the cook?
Ryder Gray
Guess they're gonna shoot the shit while they vaguely describe the shit that went down with Amber and Ryan. Also talking about Walky's continued math struggles, cause nothing says good times at a bar like talking about math.
Nathaniel Rogers
Have you ever had it?
Sure, all the ingredients seem harmless enough (and even tasty) in their own right, but until you've experienced the combined taste and consistency of several "true" shepherd's pies, you have no idea how awful it is.
Ian Russell
Well, this is a whole lot of nothing. Again. Also, I'm surprised Willis is drawing background characters in full detail. He didn't offer the same courtesy to Leslie's classroom.
Also, looks like I was wrong about the next two weeks being Leslie's date. Looks like we're going to be stuck with these two as well. Remember how Walky's tuition is apparently an important element of the overall DoA narrative that needs to be explored?
Also, pretty sure silver Sharpies don't work on hair like that. And I doubt it would look convincingly enough like graying hairs, even in a cartoon setting.
Also, unless that bike in the back is missing half of its handlebars and pedals, there's no way it's sitting flush with the wall.
Also, Jason's arms and torso and Walky's torso are copied and pasted between Panels 4 and 5. The only things that are changed are the coloring/shading and Walky's arm positions.
>Sure, all the ingredients seem harmless enough (and even tasty) in their own right, but until you've experienced the combined taste and consistency of several "true" shepherd's pies, you have no idea how awful it is. It could be worse. But it's like eating ground beef. Which is weird.
If he took a silver Sharpie and went down from the roots in a few places, it would perhaps be convincing.
Also, it looks like it only has one pedal. Unsure on handlebar #2.
Xavier Hill
Yes, my grandmother made it occasionally. Beef and onions mixed on the bottom with a bit of brown gravy to keep it moist topped mashed potatoes. Sometimes she'd add a layer of peas and thinly sliced carrots, but mostly she kept the vegetables as side dishes.
Gabriel Thomas
If it's strictly a decoration then it's probably missing a handlebar and pedal. On a side note a bike on the wall is a stupid decoration.
Ian Perry
Shepherd's Pie is grand ye tasteless Jock.

>t. Yorkshire
Eat actual food instead of a whole fish baked into a pie crust and get back to us on that, bong.
Justin Edwards
If you think google image results are what typical shepherd's pie looks like, you've never had it, m8. Sounds like your grandmother made some kind of tasty meat pie and just called it shepherd's pie. The veggies are kind of key to the whole thing.
Jacob Rivera
Holy shit, what the FUCK is going on with the black dude in panels 1 and 2???
I get that he's moving from one side of Jason to the other, but could Willis have POSSIBLY drawn that worse?
I think not.
David Lewis
So...this is an exact rehash of what happened with Sal and Jason. Except I think they had fucked by this point. I'm pretty sure the guy in the background is the same guy Sal almost accidentally got Jason to 3rd base with due to her dicksplanations (joke, Jason didn't interact with barman).
I kinda wonder why? Walky doesn't seem like the type to go to a bar, and their relationship seems even less likely to lead to interaction than Sal and Jason's. Seems like a forced attempt to show how Sal and Walky differ.
Also Walky's intense lack trying with this whole math thing after his breakdown is still fucking infuriating. If he doesn't care, just let him not care, but making such a big to do and then having him be even more... lackadaisical is annoying.
Cooper Wilson
Why is Willis' impression of British people so bizarre?
Lucas Powell
The fuck? Sheperds pie is hardly vegetables, it's ground beef on the bottom, the mash potatoes in the middle i guess can count as a vegetable, and then there's melted cheese on top and maybe sprinkle some peas in the middle of the mash potatoes.
Yes I mad because that shit's my favorite food.
Christopher Lopez
The paneling just fucks it up and makes it look like he's got too much width.
Colton Ortiz
For fuck's sake, Willis, if you're going to do the continuing panel thing, at least make the character line up. What in Christ's name prompted this?
Cameron James
Also, he tracked him to a pub because he disliked the food? Is this one of those rare university towns where there aren't a half dozen different pubs to choose from?
Brandon Rodriguez
All the shepard's pie's I've ever had were basically meatloaf with carrots and peas with mashed potatoes on top. That shit's delicious, but I'd believe the authentic recipe isn't as good, similar to how authentic Italian pizza is just bland flatbread.
Nathaniel Jackson
I'm gritting my teeth as I do this, but I'm going to defend him this time.
The guy in the background is walking to the left. This takes more effort than if he had just copied it.
Jose Ross
Shepherd's Pie is made from lamb or mutton. Using beef is Cottage Pie.
And both are delicious is made right.
Samuel James
...what's Walky doing under the table?
Ryan James
Shepards pie with sweet potato instead of regular potato as the crust is absolutely fucking delicious. I am a britbong though, so my opinion on food is only slightly worse than a yank like willis, except I have the advantage of actually fucking knowing what a shepards pie is.
Luis Rogers
Indeed, while the basic versions are really simple and rough you can add to it in a number of ways.
I just want to know what his 'too flavourful' comment ment? Like, is it supposed to be some lame 'white people food' joke? Or has Willis never had Shepherd's pie in his life? Because there is no way one could describe it as 'too flavourful' unless it was Yanked in some way.
Dylan Lewis
Use regular potatoes, but when mashing go easy on the milk, heavy on the butter, and add mustard seeds.
Also, use finely diced meat instead of minced.
David Adams
Probably a "British food is bad" joke.
Connor Jones
Yeah, probably. In his head it was probably that or some kind of spotted dick or toad in the hole gag. Like neither has been done a thousand times by people a thousand times better than him.
Julian Mitchell
Hiding. Because no one would have seen him crouch down like a weirdo. Obviously.
Carter Garcia
It's also weird to think that Walky would put the effort into Googling local pubs to figure out where his tutor would go. That is way too much effort. He might as well just study with that time instead.
David Miller
Sucking Jason's dick for that sweet Pass grade.
Jaxon Robinson
If you add other ingredients it stops being cottage pie and becomes a Cumberland pie
Jason Gutierrez
>lesbian quota for several months Maybe you meant several hours! I can't wait to know what my quirky vagina lover super lesbian is up to!
Adam Cox
It's not flush, willes just can't into shadows.
Christian Green
Fuck off Willis.
Andrew Collins
Okay, I'm curious. Walky spent his tutoring session ignoring Jason and making fun of him using ethnic stereotypes. Now... he's stalked Jason by trawling Yelp reviews in the hopes that his tutor made some, so he could find out where he drinks, sneak into a pub, make fun of him again and...
...and...
...and I'm sure there's some kind of plan here. I'm just wondering what about it was so immediate and vital that it requires Walky to stalk Jason so they can have a public conversation.
Sebastian Lewis
He'll either apologize for being a shit during the tutoring sessions, or he'll continue to be a shit because apparently being childish means being completely autistic.
James Bell
I get that's what he's going for but it still reads horribly. Shouldn't he be facing the same direction in both panels? It looks like one man bisected by the panel border
Christian Myers
Thats what I do, I guess it isn't actually a shepherds pie.
Carter Walker
That's more or less what Shepard's Pie is, but some people will say it has to be made with lamb mince, not beef.
Noah White
>he might apologize
That's a possibility, and one I'm slightly embarrassed to say that I never thought of. In my defence, stalking the person you want to apologize down in their off-hours and opening the conversation with another insult wouldn't have occurred to me.
>I should apologize for antagonizing Bill. >I'll trawl social media to find out where he hangs out, sneak in and insult him the same way I've been doing all day. He'll have to accept my apology then!
Then again, I don't have my own webcomic, so what do I know?
Nicholas Brooks
I feel like it would be worse if he apologized after insulting him again. Shit isn't funny and Walky's behaviour is so far-removed from any human being that it's insulting.
