Catching up on nachitos : The Walky series

I'm just getting into the Walky mythos, reading the archives from Roomies, It's Walky to Joyce & Walky, I'd been infected with  David Willis's oeuvre initially by Shortpacked and then the mythos remix comic, Dumbing of age. I knew it was a keystone classic webcomic series but the size of the archives scared me off, as well as the fact it spanned 3 comics. I'm glad I did, there's an emotional integrity here that's been rarely matched in my 10 years of reading webcomics. It crept up on me, but even the initial emotional deepening with the Ruth scenario was a very swift right-turn into adulthood and its discontents.  These series veer very sharply between goofy antics and human consequences. I should have done this way sooner.
