In all seriousness that’s pretty hardcore. I thought Sal was bitter because she got shipped off for something minor but… dang…There’s got to be some even more hardcore backstory to explain why she went and do something like that o.o
She was trying to find a copy of PSL Monthly, and was really pissed when she found out that they were all sold out! (she just HAD to have a copy, because Animal was on the cover)
(This comment is full of inside-info IW! Forum humor)
Assuming Walky wasn’t exaggerating last panel, Sal held up the convenience stores at 13 or 14. That’s…some kind of crazy badass! Kudos to the first person to draw fanart of Juvie Sal with a gun.
She’d be the child felon equivalent of the man who took part in the Normandy landings wielding a broadsword and longbow. Fighting Jack Churchill, I believe his name was.
“Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.”
Maybe she’s really the one who tried to hold up that convenience store with a bat’leth (or however you spell that Klingon sword; too lazy to look it up now…). Seriously; Google it.
Oddly, this makes me more convinced that Sal and Jason will hook up in this universe. He’ll be this TA or adjunct professor. And older. And a bad girl would totally sleep with an older dude like that. And sleep with a jock like Tony, just for a thrill.
At my high school they did not let freshmen even work for the newspaper. Guess they wanted them to pass an english class first… Of course the fact that we had more than 2,000 students might of had something to do with it…
I’m kind of surprised she got a boarding school and not juv. hall. or something.
Then again I’m not American- is that true for ALL states or simply most? Even where it exists does it nearly always happen with a minor found guilty of such a crime like that? Wouldn’t holding up covenience stories get her quite a little while in there? Or would that sentence (if she got it) be short enough that being sent to catholic school for a few years be plausible?
For all we know it was more of a halfway house style boarding school, or something of that nature. It depends on the jurisdiction, the DA, and the actual circumstances of the crime. If she was an accomplice who didn’t have a weapon, or other mitigating circumstances.
Well, you have to remember, five years ago she probably would have been 12 or 13 years old. Assuming she didn’t act alone in the crime, the courts probably took it easy on her because of her age and other factors regarding the crimes.
And then of course there is the fact we can’t say she didn’t go to Juvie. Assuming she just robbed the stores, and nothing else, she could have ended up going to juvie for a few months before her parents shipped her off to the Nun-Academy.
And Judges in the American court system often give out unusual punishments for criminals. For example, that judge who made a slum lord living in his own crappy apartment for several months. The judge could have opted for a different punishement.
yes heather, here in a america we don’t send our criminals to prison, we send them to church.
More than likely, being a bible belt area, it was felt reform in the lord was better than wasting tax payer dollars. And wtf is wrong with this damn thing claiming I keep misspelling america? POS spell check.
Also- when did they have to do away with corporal punishment in the catholic schools? I was stuck in one of those hell holes until 89, and trust me… I got beaten daily, and I usually didn’t have to do squat.
I swear those miserable bitties used it in place of sex.
Something’s been kind of nagging at the back of my mind about those school uniforms of Sal’s.
Am I hallucinating, or are those the same uniforms Joyce and Walky wore back when they went to investigate that school that got frozen in time/dimensionally violated and they got all gender-reversed?
I knocked on over once… literally… we were demolishing it to make room for a church/school and the store was abandoned on the lot that was bought by the church so we took hammers and low explosives to it. Sadly only the professional demo team was allowed to use the explosives.
Considering how bad Walky is making her out to be, I’d say that five years of Catholic School worked. I mean, she was actually interested in getting to class. To be perfectly honest, smoking and riding a motorcycle are pretty mild forms of rebellion.
Just because she goes to the first day of class, doesn’t mean she’s going to KEEP going to class. She doesn’t seem so much interested in class as looking for an excuse to not deal with her brother who she feels abandoned her for five years.
Also, you have to show up on the first day, after that you generally get a syllabus that tells you all your assignments for the rest of the class. Then (unless the prof makes showing up to class is a large part of your grade) you don’t even need to show up as long as you get your work done and you show up to complete the tests. It dpends largly on what the prof expects, at some colleges the professor is just there for research and required to teach a few classes so they really don’t care if you show up or not as long as you do work to earn your grade so they don’t get in trouble.
In a 4-year educational program like American high schools and colleges, the sophomore year is the second of the four. It’s also what you call someone who is currently in their sophomore year. As an adjective the word can describe the second thing in a series, like a musician’s “sophomore album.”
Related to “sophomoric,” but the two can’t be used interchangeably.
In the US high school is four years long. A sophomore is a second year student. Freshmen are first year students, then sophomore, then junior and fourth year students (who are generally 18) are seniors.
The naming convention holds true in 4 year Universities as well.
I don’t know if I like this new Sal. She never seemed like a bad person by nature to me and all of her issues came from somewhere. Also, I miss the cute bro-sis bonding. A lot.
The bro-sis bonding was something that happened slowly over time in It’s Walky!. When it first started, they didn’t get along very well. Putting Sal a few states away for a few years before DoA was a means of recreating that early friction.
Aurora B. July 30, 2011 I think she’s making this stuff up. This date doesn’t sound like a real pesorn. More like a character description from a bad romance novel or a women’s magazine fluff piece. A lot of her columns just don’t have a ring of truth IMO.

You can lead a Sal to Jesus, but you can’t make her, um… throw up the horns.
’cause JESUS IS FUCKING METAL
Kung-Fu Action Jesus! Beating up bad guys and saving the day.
That’s the Jesus Sal found.
Or the one from Snowflakes, the Jesus who wears a Viking helmet and flies an F-22
Thor?
Or the one from Battle Pope who uses guns to take out demons…
An F-22 without a windscreen. Jesus is just that Badass.
I prefer Buddy Christ
There’s always drunk and bitter jesus…
Or Jewsus, my favorite.
Right next to Jewddha, Jewhammad, and Conjewcius.
Anyone here seen Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter?
THAT Jesus.
Someone has to protect toronto. ;P
…is your avatar a kougra?
Looks like a Kougra to me, I think you’re right. *grin*
Big Butter Jesus…..Yeah, YouTube it.
Sal….this doesn’t surprise me as much as it should.
DRAMAAAA! In the face!
FFFAAAAACCCEEEE!!!!!!
VAAAROOOOOOM!!
Musta been SOME catholic school…
Haven’t you seen all the movies? All Catholic girls are really bad-asses, and Sal just got worse as she hung out with them and avoided the nuns.
Do they still have nuns teaching in Catholic schools? I know the rulers and paddles had to be retired.
Billie’s not helping her case, here….
Yeah, screw doing any work. Make others do it.
well… yeah
In all seriousness that’s pretty hardcore. I thought Sal was bitter because she got shipped off for something minor but… dang…There’s got to be some even more hardcore backstory to explain why she went and do something like that o.o
Maybe she was bored. Not everyone commits crimes for a good reason.
Hm. When will the ‘rents make a show? Does this college have a Family Day? Or maybe we can meet Sal’s parole officer, at least.
Walky’s being pretty sensible in the last panel there.
Wow…she held up TWO convenience stores? In the same night??
She was trying to find a copy of PSL Monthly, and was really pissed when she found out that they were all sold out! (she just HAD to have a copy, because Animal was on the cover)
(This comment is full of inside-info IW! Forum humor)
I call Red Herring, she didn’t rob them, she actually held them up! Sal has superstrength
She held them up at the same time.
Sal can totally bench-press convienience stores.
While lying on her stomach.
Modern interpretations of old characters is awesome, especially when it involves felonies added to the backstory.
Ok but why bring the uniforms to college?
Maybe it’s her only clothing besides the motorcycle outfit?
To help her get laid, obviously.
By who, faculty? Are college kids really into the whole young’un fetish?
I can only speak for a few people that I know but…yeah. They are.
Or were you not looking for an answer to that question?
No young: innocent, pure and virginal. Emphasis on Catholic, not schoolgirl.
Or, contrarily, ‘slutty as all hell’.
(Gotta love duelling stereotypes.)
As the outfits arrived ahead of her(as far as we know) they could have been shipped there by the family or
She was there already — you can see her ride by on her motorbike while Walky and Billie are talking outside in an earlier strip
Assuming Walky wasn’t exaggerating last panel, Sal held up the convenience stores at 13 or 14. That’s…some kind of crazy badass! Kudos to the first person to draw fanart of Juvie Sal with a gun.
Also, Bille major=Journalism?
Nah, Sal wouldn’t use a gun. She’d hold up a place unarmed.
… or with like a crossbow or something. A gun is just way too pedestrian.
She’d be the child felon equivalent of the man who took part in the Normandy landings wielding a broadsword and longbow. Fighting Jack Churchill, I believe his name was.
“Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed.”
Maybe she’s really the one who tried to hold up that convenience store with a bat’leth (or however you spell that Klingon sword; too lazy to look it up now…). Seriously; Google it.
Well, at the risk of sounding geeky, the Bat’leth was designed by a martial artist to be an effective and realistic weapon.
Catholic schools do not tame wild children. They just make them hate Catholicism.
Indeed
And learn how to manipulate the system more efficiently.
Oddly, this makes me more convinced that Sal and Jason will hook up in this universe. He’ll be this TA or adjunct professor. And older. And a bad girl would totally sleep with an older dude like that. And sleep with a jock like Tony, just for a thrill.
Oh, jaded teenagers of middle America, never stop being hilarious.
Wait, you made the sophomores do all the work? C’mon, Billie: that crap’s for freshmen and you know it!
At my high school they did not let freshmen even work for the newspaper. Guess they wanted them to pass an english class first… Of course the fact that we had more than 2,000 students might of had something to do with it…
Yeah, freshmen don’t get to be on the school newspaper staff.
I was writing for my school newspaper as a freshman, so…I guess it’s different everywhere.
I’m kind of surprised she got a boarding school and not juv. hall. or something.
Then again I’m not American- is that true for ALL states or simply most? Even where it exists does it nearly always happen with a minor found guilty of such a crime like that? Wouldn’t holding up covenience stories get her quite a little while in there? Or would that sentence (if she got it) be short enough that being sent to catholic school for a few years be plausible?
Mmmmm.
(Continues to ship Joyce/Sal).
It probably involved some sort of deal with the DA.
For all we know it was more of a halfway house style boarding school, or something of that nature. It depends on the jurisdiction, the DA, and the actual circumstances of the crime. If she was an accomplice who didn’t have a weapon, or other mitigating circumstances.

Or her parents shipped her out fo state before she could be tried, You never know…

I think Willis just can’t draw more than one type of school uniform :p
Thato ther school was in Canada, completely opposite direction from Tenessee.
Both were a reference to a comic called Avalon, which featured Canadian School kids.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CatholicSchoolGirlsRule
That is all.
Nooo! I was just about to go to bed!
At some point you got to ignore the…dang it. I opened another tab.
My work is done. *Evil laugh*
Google this handle for more shenanigans.
(My Ruth avatar is fitting my personality. Awesome.)
TWO convenience stores? God, I feel like such an under-achiever.
Come now, don’t sell yourself short. Most people don’t even knock over one convenience store, so you’re ahead of the game. >_>
I knocked on over once… literally… we were demolishing it to make room for a church/school and the store was abandoned on the lot that was bought by the church so we took hammers and low explosives to it. Sadly only the professional demo team was allowed to use the explosives.

being irish and all, i have no idea what a sohpomore is. anyone care to indulge? heard the word before, dunno what it is.

The girls were way worse at catholic school then at public school. I was amazed when i switched into public school back in the day.
It’s like Jack McCoy from Law and Order said: “”When you’re raised by the Jesuits, you end up obedient or impertinent.”
Oh dear. I would’ve expected her to find latex if she went looking Jesus. Leather is a bit more Nordic. Go you?
-_-,
I am liking Billie less and less but am still ambivalent about everyone else. It is still pretty early in the strip.
Of course she wouldn’t find Jesus in a Catholic School in Tennessee. He’s watching The Avengers right now.
… I had to say it.
for some Jesus and Leather are one in the same.
