Ya know, the stuff in Gus' speech bubble (from latest panel) looks like it's coming out of the idol-thing's mouth.

I think Stuart is whistling What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor.

Who the heck is Jerry?

Well, since Stuart blithely missed the boat and it looks like Stephen might have struck out with Cathy - - maybe Steve and Bernice are going to spend a blissful evening at their motel of choice?

It just strikes me as oddly appropriate (and thus conveniently maintaining the unrequited sexual tension between our costars) as well as amusing for Stephen to blow it once again with office sexpot Cathy and wind up going home with Bernice so the day isn't a total loss.

And then of course she turns out to be some kind of sexual tigress that eats the poor bastard alive.

Yes, Stuart is whistling "What do you do with a drunken sailor".

Shrimp? She means Bernice, right?

Ok, so the Walrus was not waiting around for the elusive Bernice.

Do you suppose "shrimp" will be asked out for a seafood dinner by Wally?

Hmmm.

I think you're mixing up Cathy and Susan.

dude... susan is totally going to sneeze on the walrus...
and then she will notice her sneeze on the walrus' face..
and to her it will just be floating around in mid air.. like a ghost sneeze.. and she is going to faint
and the walrus.. will eat her.

10 bucks says that is how scott mccloud is going to end it.

at least the sneeze part.

I'll be the foolish optimist and say:
YES! Someone finally noticed him!

Regarding the (precolombian?) "head things" and for what it's worth: at first sight, they reminded me of the huge stone heads at the end of Vol 714 pour Sidney (Flight 714 to Sidney), one of Herg?'s Tintin adventures.
Then again, I grew up in France some decades ago, and Tintin had naturally a large part in my basic comics education (along with Ast?rix, which I've always preferred, Pif, and a few others, but no superheroes), hence the immediate reminiscence (however, after checking it, I have to admit the heads in Tintin are different, and they are located in some island in the Indian Ocean).

Is this finally the Payoff?

IF we assume both of the following conditions are true:
a) Scott is NOT once again jerking our chain, by deking us into thinking someone is actually noticing the Walrus (Brimley), when in fact he/she is actually noticing someone behind the Walrus (Wilfred); but, on the contrary, Susan is INDEED noticing the Walrus (Pop Fisher)
AND
b) NOBODY, in the course of the story, can, or will, ever notice the Walrus (It the right thing to do!), because the title tells us NOBODY Ever Noticed the Walrus (check your blood-sugar and check it often), and we assume title does NOT contradict the story.

THEN we can conclude that Susan, by one person's social definition, or another, IS a NOBODY, and thus IS totally capable of noticing the Walrus (there's just no reason NOT to!)

ELSE Susan is noticing Doc Pettibone (IF that's his real name), lurking in the shadows, waiting for all to leave, so he can secretly unfurl his nefarious, un-American scheme.

There's a lot of that brain-farting going around, it seems. What I meant to say was,

Maybe Susan is talking to herself, saying "Yeah, everyone ELSE actually has something to have already left for, whereas I have no life and am thus the last one here."

I'm assuming you've all noticed this, but the brimley is not bordered in black, like the rest of the characters in the strip. He's officially been noticed, and thus crosses over into "real character"
