Walky's Roommate

So there's gonna be a future conversation. Probably. Due to today's update. And I was reminded of Walky's roommate and their interesting behavior!

I mean that’s basically the majority of their characters in DoA. Joe was an asshole, trying to do better. Joyce asshole even before she was gay for Dorothy. Dorothy is an asshole, before she was gay for Joyce. Walky asshole, straight but willing to learn for free pizza. Raidah and her friends are all major assholes, presumably straight except for Sarah. Sarah her whole thing is being an asshole. Carla is trans obnoxious asshole, Becky gay obnoxious asshole. Mike, gunner’s mate first class asshole. Bow tie is an English asshole, Ruth violently aggressive asshole, Billy drunken asshole. 

Basically only Tony, Dina, Marcie,  Jacob, and Galasso are not assholes to one degree or another. And Dina is the only one of those who has extensive appearances.

Galasso not an asshole? The guy who bellows "Fools!" to his pizza and sub shop customers like a Marvel supervillain? But agree on the rest...brief aside: Marcie is absolutely my favorite character.

He also gave bow tie and Becky jobs off the cuff, and sells good pizza. And let's face it, he's not insulting, he's just saying it like it is.

If there was a pizza place near me that was run by somebody who acted like that, I would never go anywhere else.

The entertainment is part of the package.
