Interesting that stealthy would be used as surname …
Also, I apologize for my medical malpractice — it turns out that the Heimlich maneuver is now considered at best a fallback technique and that some of his research was wrong and may have been fraudulent …
If I remember correctly (this was years ago), she ended up with an 89% and, her being a pre-med student, I got complaints from her that I didn’t raise the grade to an A.
Seems like she should have been grateful for any marks? After all, she must have known that there was a risk that some people would think she had degraded herself?
Yeah no if by GGers you mean gamergate I also doubt it, I was just making a pun to continue your reference parodying it. Or maybe you knew that and my explaining the joke ruined it again, in which case oops.
I went to SFstate, and a lot of professors and teachers, particularly in humanities, were pretty open about what they did outside of work. Two TA’s and an assistant professors were burlesque dancers, and they’d put out flyers to come to their shows. One of my roommate’s professors was in a drag queen band.
Some of them still didn’t feel comfortable with some things though; one of my science professors hid the fact that she has a wife because she had had anti-gay attacks against her. So it was like things that really shouldn’t matter got hidden sometimes.
My FiL was a history teacher for many years and would always encounter students in the strangest of places. I happened to be with him once while we were on a trip, and at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, the guys on the pump next to us yelled “HEY MR. S!” and drove off. He didn’t recognize them, but they sure remembered him. He just says he hopes they remember him because he was a GOOD teacher, not a bad one…
Sal is the sort of girl who’s been ‘hot’ long enough to be sick of it. You’ll note whenever she comments on her looks, she’s almost always scowling. Problem is, she has her own personal style, and she’s not willing to compromise it to ‘dress down’, so she continues to draw unwanted attention. Like from teacher’s aides.
To be honest, I thought that meant she put her finger somewhere… ugh, I assume you’re all old enough to know where she would put a finger during sex with a man. What is wrong with me…
I was going to gripe about him being in a student bar rather than a british-ish pub, but frankly that bar looks like quite a few English pubs I’ve seen.
Funny how Bond in a bow tie used to be the epitome of cool; but now the whole world thinks bow ties are somehow ‘not cool’ just because a Scottish writer told you they aren’t five years ago. Ah, Moffatt, never did you dream you would have such power…
I wore a bow-tie when I was younger. Nowadays, you’re more likely to see them worn by snooker players on Pot Black. Or classical musicians. Or, ahem, Dr Who fans.
I teach college, but my students are still weirded out when they see me in real life. It came as a major shock to a couple students I ran into this weekend, for example, that I have actual interests outside of the subject I teach. They still don’t know what those interests are, because I do actually try to pretend that I don’t for their sake (and mine, really), but just the idea that I would be somewhere that wasn’t the classroom was a shock to them.
Of course, I think we compartmentalize all the people we know into how we know them, and seeing them outside of those contexts can be a little odd.
My sister’ a lab director bought her and her friends five rounds of tequila shots last time they ran into each other at a bar. He either had to have loved her or loathed her, eh? :p
I’m not sure she is actually. She might be gesturing to herself as a whole, since Willis used a similar hand movement here when Amber clearly wasn’t only pointing to her cleavage.
Am I the only one who thought Sal was referring to her ‘tough girl’ persona convincing the bouncer she was of legal age at first read, rather than her cleavage?
She’s just indicating her whole self; the circle motion suggests “all of this.” Like the way you could gesture inside a room to talk about the whole building.
Well, “gay options” would include Billie/Ruth, bringing it up to 41% for an even bigger lead. Not quite the majority though, unless “other people we know about” would end up being Mandy and Grace or Billie and Alice or something.
I voted for “other people we know about” on the hope that we’d get to find out what really went down with Becky and Kaitlin. Though Willis has said since that it was just like three panels of kissin’ and through-the-clothes groping before they got caught.
And Danny’s, where in a case of meta deja vu, he desperately urges Ethan to rub his thingy on his tummy because he doesn’t quite understand how gay sex works, being too confused by his newfound bisexuality to actually look up the logistics.
Sal and Jason were my favourite in the Walkyverse. Jason is still a dork worthy of a squeal when he gets comic time. So I am especially looking forward to the next strips.
Okay people in this thread, can you explain to me Jason’s appeal? I’ve been deeply confused by his fanbase ever since I got around to reading It’s Walky.
People like the characters they relate to, and for whatever reason I relate strongly to Jason. He’s highly intelligent and deeply weird, but he’s not weird in an ‘acceptable’ way, which is to say people see ‘boring’ instead. He cares about doing a good job and worries constantly that he’s not doing a good job (sometimes rightly so), and he tries so hard.
I don’t know. Something about him just resonates with me and I love seeing him show up and being part of things.
Both, but in different ways. I’ve already talked about Dumbiverse Jason, of course, in my first comment.
I find Walkyverse Jason unutterably fascinating because he’s this fussy uptight guy, but he’s also highly competent to the level of being a career covert ops field commander for a group wherein he’s basically the only vanilla human in a sea of superpowered folk. He’s the one who’s actually Batman there, not Sal, but no one actually sees it because he’s just Jason and he uses doors instead of windows.
Because he so badly wants to be the good guy, do the right thing, and be thought of as smart and competent and charming, but he’s so shit at it it’s hilarious.
But that’s why they work as a threesome, Angel and Spike can get it on and Buffy can watch and enjoy. And before you say t wouldn’t happen Angel/Spike is canon.
Heh heh, I remember when I learnt about Earth cats, I started teasing Ravage with cat toys. Got some fun out of it, got some scratches out of it, it all pretty much evened out…
What’s worse, He’s trying his hardest to be a good guy but still coming up weak. At this point the only thing he’s got going for him is his position of authority. It’s a shame because he seems like he’s be more competent give his character traits.
Given their last interaction, I think he’s got a clue she doesn’t. But given their interactions before that, I think he thinks she could if he proves he’s likeable.
Leslie’s an important side character in that she manages a class that drives many discussions amongst the characters, but she hasn’t really been directly involved in any major stories insofar herself as a character. The closest we got was when Roz seemed to scheme to hook Leslie and Robin up, but we haven’t heard anything following up from that in years.
I wonder how many pairs of gloves Sal owns. Because I just confirmed in the archives that Sal apparently has sex while wearing her gloves. Which is a bit weird, and makes me hope she changed them afterwards.
Thinking about Sal’s gloves and the archives just made me realize: the reason Sal wears gloves all the time is probably because she’s got a scar from when Amber stabbed her hand five years ago. I suspect this was supposed to be obvious and I’m just slow.
Also I can confirm that she owns at least one other pair.
I’m waiting for the moment when Sal figures out that the “weirdo” girl she ran into a bit back is the same girl who stabbed her years ago. I suspect she’ll have a flashback and response similar to the one Amber had.
I don’t know. I’m half convinced that, once she realizes who Amazi-Girl actually is she’s going to let it slide. It’s not like Sal is proud of her actions.
I mean, she threatened to stab Ethan. I don’t think she’s allowed to have the moral high ground.
That’s where I’m thinking it goes. I don’t believe Sal has ever considered her victims when she thinks about robbing the store, so realizing that it wasn’t just her who was hurt that night would probably give her some perspective.
I’m sure that’s part of the reason, but remember that she rides a motorcycle and wears full leathers too. Gloves, even half-fingered gloves with a padded palm like bicyclists wear, would be considered appropriate equipment and probably wouldn’t even cause a raised eyebrow.
It’s interesting that her gloves have largely been ignored by the other characters. Walky and Marcie(and there’s a title for a webcomic) presumably know or can guess why. Joyce is ignorant enough of such things that she probably thinks it’s some sort of cool biker thing. Jason might think it’s a fetish. I can imagine Carla asking questions at some point, because being a pain in the ass is her thing.
To be fair, other than the occasional ‘where did you get those awesome gloves from?’ I never really get feedback on my gloves when I go out in public, and I’ve worn them for a long time due to medical [pain] reasons.”
So probably doesn’t come up too often.
Those of us who live in countries where the legal drinking in pubs age is 18 are often baffled that youngsters in the USA work so hard at getting fake IDs, etc.
Heinousactsz1, you think Sal is a Dork? Totally hopeless you are.
Walky is her brother, I’m sure he knows why she wears gloves. As does Marcie, being her best friend. Joyce wouldn’t dare ask, she’s too in awe of Sal, and likely just thinks it’s an affectation anyway. As do most of the others around her. They go with her persona.
As for Jason. He strikes me in the same vein as Danny. Neither are all that outstanding in any one way. Rather bland, not bad, just boring. Danny could grow up to be Jason quite easily I think. Just give him a bow tie.
As to Jason’s authority, he’s not a full Prof., really hasn’t got that much authority. And he really should use his head and stop sniffing around a student, one that especially doesn’t hold him in much esteem at all.
Guess he is one of those guys that figure he can’t REALLY be disliked, you just misunderstand him.
Jason is apparently one of the few people at this school who WANT to be good teachers. Sal tried to fuck her way to better grades after He said it wouldn’t work, then called him a bad teacher. She was aweful. Danny got through because she let him.
In fairness to Sal, Jason probably IS a bad teacher, but I’m betting it’s because 1) his subject comes easily to him, 2) he’s the specific kind of personality that can’t see when things actually are difficult because they’re not difficult for him (I am that kind of person in some ways and I have to consciously fight to see the other side), and 3) he’s never actually learned how to teach, only how to lecture.
He has the desire to do better and be a good teacher, which is more than we’ve seen from Professor Rees or Penny.
From what we saw of their tutoring session, Jason is a bad teacher, at least for Sal. Danny got through to her because Danny tried a different approach, tailored to his observations of Sal, rather than alternating repeating the things the she failed to get before with critiquing her personal life.
Man…five years ago, this kind of girl would have been the worst kind of news for me. She’s beautiful. She’s smarter than she let’s on. She’s clearly hiding herself from everyone as best she can.
I’ve got a weird knack for getting people to open up to me. So she’d feel weirdly comfortable around me. Drinks happen. The things that, “drinks happening,” causes happen.
We get seemingly closer and closer, then at some point, it becomes clear that I know everything about her, but she knows nothing about who I am and what makes me tick. The entire relationship started because I saw an enchanting puzzle I wanted to unravel. In finding this hidden person, I fall in love with it.
I’ve fallen in love with her because she’s open with me. She was infatuated with me because she felt secure in telling me what she is afraid to tell anyone else. The infatuation doesn’t last and she looks for me and realizes that I haven’t offered up much of myself.
She’s bared all for me when she hides from everyone else, and in return, I’ve been cryptic and reserved about myself.
The truth is, I don’t know how to let anyone in. I don’t know how to get in. I feel like a stranger to myself. I like unraveling puzzles because I can’t even figure out where to begin on my own.
In this above written musing, I figured something out. People that feel misunderstood feel comfortable with me because I ooze empathy for being misunderstood. I don’t ask, “Who are you, really? What’s behind the mask?” I ask, “Why do you feel misunderstood? Why do you wear the mask?”
Yes, I am totally a self-aware Danny. Sal finds him charming and she doesn’t know why. Ethan is extremely attracted to him. Amber sees someone she can show herself to. These are all people that wear masks. Danny isn’t curious about the mask. He wants to know the person behind it.
Going to university in England, I find it odd whenever students have to sneak into bars or get booze. Without booze a British uni would cease to exist!
Seriously, are American colleges this strict? Especially with the alcohol ban in the dorms, how do you even enforce that?
Alcohol in residence is a definite no-no, it can get you expelled. Some schools are a bit more lenient insofar as they have an on-campus pub (I’m at the University of Alaska, and we have one.) Of course, the prohibition of alcohol doesn’t work particularly well, since it makes the youngsters absolutely obsessed with getting drunk, and so go about their consumption in far more dangerous ways than if it were just allowed.
Ah, Americans. We’re immoderate in everything but our politics.
If it had been Joyce (or Becky) using actual swear words, people would have noticed. But anybody else? I don’t see how it would be noteworthy, and I only had to go back to Sal’s previous appearance to see more swearing.
Fun Fact: His name isn’t “God”. It’s also not “Lord”.
These are what we call “titles”.
You see, His actual name doesn’t appear in the Bible, because you’re not allowed to say it. You can say “God damn it” all you want. That’s fine. His name isn’t ‘God’. If you demand YAHWEH damn something, then you’re in violation. The entire reason the Bible is full of “God” and “Lord” is because that’s what you’re ALLOWED to say.
Other fun fact: God never said this. You are totally allowed to say YAHWEH, or however you feel like translating it. It’s just that the Israelites were so paranoid about misusing God’s name that they made it sort of an unwritten rule to not use it at all. The intent behind “God damn it” and “YAHWEH damn it” is exactly the same, and that’s what actually matters. (The fact that today the phrase has lost much of its severity is also relevant in this regard.)
If you want to say God damn it, then just do it and own up to it instead of clinging to an interpretation of scripture that makes it not a sin. God isn’t going to love you any less for it. That’s kind of the entire point of Christianity, despite what some Christians would have you believe.
Obviously if you don’t believe in the Judeochristian god than none of this applies to you so feel free to do whatever, I guess.
Eh, agree to disagree, then. From my perspective anyway, nothing in that article contradicts what I said, except that the unwritten rule was in fact written, which I didn’t actually know, so thank you for that.
Those things in the foreground XD (bar-taps)? looks like one of them is yelling at the other one and that last thing to the left is just going “shit I’m staying out of this one”
By angling them like that it allows the bartender/beer pourer to be able to operate one handle without jarring and possibly accidentally opening an adjacent one. Also allows more room for the advertising knobs at the top to be more easily seen.
Unless I missed something, she’s part African American, not Native American.
And she got in because she’s hot and outwardly self-confident. Hot girls are allowed into bars/club more readily than other people, because they attract customers. People who are outwardly self-confident can go where they shouldn’t be simply by not looking like they shouldn’t be there.
Oh, I see. It’s a bar. And people under 21 here nowadays can’t be anywhere near the actual bar. Right. I thought he was asking about IU – which seemed a bit odd, actually.

Sal Comes Wherever She Wants?
It’ll be like that bit in Homestuck with the blue glowey arm but with Sal… well obviously you’ll have to pay Willis the Boonbucks to know.
Nailed it.
As will Sal.
As a teacher, it is equally weird to see students in the outside world.
You think that’s bad? My roommates once took me to a strip club, and I saw one of my students on stage…
But did you give her an A+ on her next test
If I remember correctly (this was years ago), she ended up with an 89% and, her being a pre-med student, I got complaints from her that I didn’t raise the grade to an A.
Seems like she should have been grateful for any marks? After all, she must have known that there was a risk that some people would think she had degraded herself?
did you just
My god, he did…
Oh internet points to you. I love puns. And this one was superb.
Thank you!
Badoom TISH!
Are you suggesting that a teacher recuse themselves from grading any student whom they’ve seen naked? Because….
…
Yeah, actually, that would probably be a good idea.
Actually, it’s about ethics in teaching.
Ugh, don’t even start with the Gradergate bullcrap…
I highly doubt there are any GGers to be found in these parts.
Excuse me, did you just mention sea lions?
Yeah no if by GGers you mean gamergate I also doubt it, I was just making a pun to continue your reference parodying it. Or maybe you knew that and my explaining the joke ruined it again, in which case oops.
Oh, YEAH? You think THAT’S BAD?? One time…yeah, actually, that’s way worse than anything I’ve got.
How much did you tip?
A whole grade point! So, generously?
That is too funny.
I’m currently a non-traditional (i.e., 44 year old) college student. I keep wondering when I’m going to run into one of my professors at a kink event.
I went to SFstate, and a lot of professors and teachers, particularly in humanities, were pretty open about what they did outside of work. Two TA’s and an assistant professors were burlesque dancers, and they’d put out flyers to come to their shows. One of my roommate’s professors was in a drag queen band.
Some of them still didn’t feel comfortable with some things though; one of my science professors hid the fact that she has a wife because she had had anti-gay attacks against her. So it was like things that really shouldn’t matter got hidden sometimes.
Hey there fellow SF person.
My FiL was a history teacher for many years and would always encounter students in the strangest of places. I happened to be with him once while we were on a trip, and at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, the guys on the pump next to us yelled “HEY MR. S!” and drove off. He didn’t recognize them, but they sure remembered him. He just says he hopes they remember him because he was a GOOD teacher, not a bad one…
My wife is a teacher — the students kind of freak when they see her out walking with this “old guy” — that’d be me. “Who’s that? Is that your father?”
Funny thing is, I’m actually younger than she is.
Can’t tell if she’s just motioning to her cleavage
or pulling down the zipper
Looks like sign language, but it could very easily just be her indicating the leather jacket ensemble.
Not that she’s got a big ego or anything, but “when you’re a girl who looks THIS hot”. xD
Sal is the sort of girl who’s been ‘hot’ long enough to be sick of it. You’ll note whenever she comments on her looks, she’s almost always scowling. Problem is, she has her own personal style, and she’s not willing to compromise it to ‘dress down’, so she continues to draw unwanted attention. Like from teacher’s aides.
to be fair, she’s scowling 90% of the time
…Because she’s usually hot.
A TA is a teaching assistant, a graduate student teaching or assisting in a class at the section level.
You don’t need an ego to acknowledge that people find you fun to look at.
To be honest, I thought that meant she put her finger somewhere… ugh, I assume you’re all old enough to know where she would put a finger during sex with a man. What is wrong with me…
*might*
Hrm… these two meeting in a bar and discussing Sals age seems…
FAMILIAR somehow.
I wonder why…
Does it almost feel like you’ve been here before?
I was momentarily confused into thinking I was looking at an art update on http://www.itswalky.com.
I cannot imagine why you would think that.
So this is when aliens enter the plot right?
Well they’re already in the comments…

I know, there is some serious deja vu here.
Yes, strange how we seem to have been here before…
Tattoos give you automatic entry.
wonder if he still has the sing on his back?
Now I am picturing a gang of sing-o-grammers following Jason, singing “punch me in the face!”, Bad Horse style.
Jason’s wearing a bow tie to the bar, because of course he is.
I was going to gripe about him being in a student bar rather than a british-ish pub, but frankly that bar looks like quite a few English pubs I’ve seen.
I’m surprised he made it into the bar. Like bow ties would be against the dress code.
Nah, they are students. He’s not the only Doctor who fan/anglophile in the building
And they were just glad it wasn’t a fez.
Anything but the fez?
I just imagined Faz wearing a fez and to be honest that is horrifying.
Anything but THAT fez.
What’s wrong with a Fez? Fezzes are cool.
Jason isn’t actually British. He’s just really into Doctor Who.
They assumed it was Doctor Who cosplay, I’m guessing.
Bowties are cool.
If the bow tie was good for James Bond, then it should be good for Jason. At least that’s what he thinks.
Funny how Bond in a bow tie used to be the epitome of cool; but now the whole world thinks bow ties are somehow ‘not cool’ just because a Scottish writer told you they aren’t five years ago. Ah, Moffatt, never did you dream you would have such power…
A tuxedo that includes a bow tie was good enough for Bond. Did he ever wear one otherwise?
I wore a bow-tie when I was younger. Nowadays, you’re more likely to see them worn by snooker players on Pot Black. Or classical musicians. Or, ahem, Dr Who fans.
The power of attractive people!
I bet Walky couldn’t pull it off though.
Walky just looks like a little kid to me.
It creeps me out when he’s in slipshines.
Yeah, I kinda agree.
Being an attractive guy only helps you in dance clubs and gay bars.
The power of a fake ID and crow’s feet!
When I was a kid it always really disturbed me when I would see a teacher in the real world, like at the grocery store or something.
It’s like “No. Who let you out? This is wrong somehow. And your taste in breakfast cereals is atrocious.”
I teach college, but my students are still weirded out when they see me in real life. It came as a major shock to a couple students I ran into this weekend, for example, that I have actual interests outside of the subject I teach. They still don’t know what those interests are, because I do actually try to pretend that I don’t for their sake (and mine, really), but just the idea that I would be somewhere that wasn’t the classroom was a shock to them.
Of course, I think we compartmentalize all the people we know into how we know them, and seeing them outside of those contexts can be a little odd.
Small faculty + drinking age of 19 in Ontario = many pub nights including profs.
My sister’ a lab director bought her and her friends five rounds of tequila shots last time they ran into each other at a bar. He either had to have loved her or loathed her, eh? :p
*sister’s
Tequila? Loathed. Definitely loathed.
I’m a bit confused as to what Sal’s hand’s doing in the final panel.
Clearly by the Crooked Index finger and the not quiet extended thumb she’s doing a luck-luster “Hook-Hand”.
She’s saying she’s a Pirate and Pirates get into any bar.
Yes. Definitely this.
Motioning toward her cleavage. That’s what got her past the bouncer at the bar.
I’m not sure she is actually. She might be gesturing to herself as a whole, since Willis used a similar hand movement here when Amber clearly wasn’t only pointing to her cleavage.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2014/comic/book-5/01-when-somebody-loved-me/clock/
to her breasts, i mean
Am I the only one who thought Sal was referring to her ‘tough girl’ persona convincing the bouncer she was of legal age at first read, rather than her cleavage?
No, you are not.
Bit of both here, since she’s not exactly showing them to the world the way some ladies do, but there is still a little bit showing there…
She’s gesturing at the goods….which in her case is everything.
All of her is good.
But she is a badass
Her ass is good and bad simultaneously
Schrodinger’s Ass, except it never collapses to just one or the other
This is correct.
She’s just indicating her whole self; the circle motion suggests “all of this.” Like the way you could gesture inside a room to talk about the whole building.
This was my Thursday
Sooo preview to a Slipshine from a certain poll over yonder?
I half-regret the “don’t care unless” options, because combined they would beat out Sal/Jason
but then, I also want Sal/Jason so it’s really win/win[/win]
It’s like Sophie’s Choice but with boners.
…so it’s like Sophie’s Choice?
I voted for three dudes. I’m sorry I’m a dude into dude’s that’s throwing his vote away but I don’t care!
Also… I just double checked.. 16%+16% = ..32%? Combined the gay options are winning o.O
Yeah, looking at it now having to dude options seems a little Nader-like.
Well, “gay options” would include Billie/Ruth, bringing it up to 41% for an even bigger lead. Not quite the majority though, unless “other people we know about” would end up being Mandy and Grace or Billie and Alice or something.
I voted for “other people we know about” on the hope that we’d get to find out what really went down with Becky and Kaitlin. Though Willis has said since that it was just like three panels of kissin’ and through-the-clothes groping before they got caught.
(Er, pun not intended, believe it or not.)
Well of course not. Nobody actually went down.
…. Sal’s voice just became Sandy Cheeks in my head.
It’s been Sandy Cheeks for me since It’s Walky, where’ve you been son?
Really? For me it’s Applejack.
Nah, Applejack is way too cheerful. Sal clearly speaks in a bored, morose drawl.
Mmm. Yes.
OH GAWD the deja vu!
At least we didn’t start with a lemonade joke this time.
Watch as Jason orders a Mike’s.
I will be a little disappointed if this doesn’t happen.
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
–With lemon.
A math TA and a college first-year walk into a bar . . .
Dammit, Jason’s supposed to GET her number not GIVE her numbers
I like how Sal was drawn in this strip. Dunno why. just do.
Huh, Jason and Sal meet in a context outside of their student-teacher relationship and interact with mutual respect.
I may have to rethink my Slipshine vote.
Yes. Talk. Get to know each other as people.
And then kisssssss.
Yes. Have a mutually respectful relationship. Then do iiiiit.
That’s pretty much how I regard feminist porn.
Aww, man, back to these dorks? When are we gonna get to Danny and Ethan and the hot sex they are surely having?
In our collective dreams. ~ le sigh ~
And Danny’s, where in a case of meta deja vu, he desperately urges Ethan to rub his thingy on his tummy because he doesn’t quite understand how gay sex works, being too confused by his newfound bisexuality to actually look up the logistics.
When you say “look up the logistics,” I immediately thought of something like Dorothy’s spreadsheets.
Then this: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=2418
Couldn’t think of a better word for it. I could totally see the guy in that smbc comic being Joe, tho. Lol
His “Do” list is much more complicated than we thought.
<3 Jason <3<3<3
No you’re not allowed to ship these two. It still has to happen in the other universe!
They’re going to work it out, okay!
I thought the other universe ended…?
Willis has said he’s going to finish up Joyce & Walky after he finished Shortpacked.
Sal and Jason were my favourite in the Walkyverse. Jason is still a dork worthy of a squeal when he gets comic time. So I am especially looking forward to the next strips.
So I’m not the only one that loved Walkyverse Jason?
Earlier comments made me wonder :'(
Some of us have a thing for lanky nerds!
I have never not loved Jason.
Okay people in this thread, can you explain to me Jason’s appeal? I’ve been deeply confused by his fanbase ever since I got around to reading It’s Walky.
People like the characters they relate to, and for whatever reason I relate strongly to Jason. He’s highly intelligent and deeply weird, but he’s not weird in an ‘acceptable’ way, which is to say people see ‘boring’ instead. He cares about doing a good job and worries constantly that he’s not doing a good job (sometimes rightly so), and he tries so hard.
I don’t know. Something about him just resonates with me and I love seeing him show up and being part of things.
Thank you!
Now is it just Dumbiverse Jason you identify with or It’s Walky Jason as well?
Both, but in different ways. I’ve already talked about Dumbiverse Jason, of course, in my first comment.
I find Walkyverse Jason unutterably fascinating because he’s this fussy uptight guy, but he’s also highly competent to the level of being a career covert ops field commander for a group wherein he’s basically the only vanilla human in a sea of superpowered folk. He’s the one who’s actually Batman there, not Sal, but no one actually sees it because he’s just Jason and he uses doors instead of windows.
I thought nobody saw it because he’s not actually awesome since everyone in SEMME, him included, is an idiot and hideously incompetent.
He’s witty!
and pretty
and pretty witty
…and gaaaaay!
Or not. Sorry, spent too long with the showtunes.
Because he so badly wants to be the good guy, do the right thing, and be thought of as smart and competent and charming, but he’s so shit at it it’s hilarious.
And thank you as well.
DON’T AND I REPEAT DON’T SHIP THEM!!!!
THEY WERE MEANT TO BE
Like Buffy x Angel x Spike, y’know?
But Angel is all like ‘hunk-hunk-hunk I’m no fun hunkity-hunk-hunk.’ Pre-stalker Spike and Buffy should totally leave him in the dust.
But that’s why they work as a threesome, Angel and Spike can get it on and Buffy can watch and enjoy. And before you say t wouldn’t happen Angel/Spike is canon.
Time knows what it’s all about
TOO LATE.
Always a pleasure to see more of the “real world” in this strip.
MTV’s Real World Indiana!
Apparently I’m just seeing Shortpacked! characters everywhere now, because panel 1 dude totally reminds me of historical Jesus.
I hope some of the SP newbies from the very last story arc are attending the univ, too.
Well, Dina’s there already, so I’m assuming you must mean SG Ravage.
You joke, but I think a robot kitteh might be exactly what Ethan needs to cheer up right now.
Well, that and a satisfying sexual experience.
Ugh, not with the kitty!
I would furvently hope not!
You are shameless, you know that?
Are you kitten me? While I don’t want to rub anyone the wrong way, I am purrfectly content with furnishing petty puns
Heh heh, I remember when I learnt about Earth cats, I started teasing Ravage with cat toys. Got some fun out of it, got some scratches out of it, it all pretty much evened out…
I think I said this before, but I actually feel sorry for Jason. He probably thinks she likes him.
What’s worse, He’s trying his hardest to be a good guy but still coming up weak. At this point the only thing he’s got going for him is his position of authority. It’s a shame because he seems like he’s be more competent give his character traits.
Given their last interaction, I think he’s got a clue she doesn’t. But given their interactions before that, I think he thinks she could if he proves he’s likeable.
Let’s give Jason credit, he’s the closest we have to an adult main character.
And I counter your point with Leslie Bean. Reasonable, mature, likable and shows up semi-frequently with her own little subplots.
But she’s smart enought not to get embroiled with drama that isn’t named Desanto
To be fair, that’s enough drama for anyone.
But yeah, both Leslie and Jason are good adult characters.
Leslie’s an important side character in that she manages a class that drives many discussions amongst the characters, but she hasn’t really been directly involved in any major stories insofar herself as a character. The closest we got was when Roz seemed to scheme to hook Leslie and Robin up, but we haven’t heard anything following up from that in years.
This comic is familiar!
This makes me incredibly happy.
Sal is so awesome she can deliver two punchlines in one comic.
And if he’s not careful, Jason could find out she can also line up 2 punches in 1 comic too…
Hilarity is sure to ensue if Walky and Sal ever try to get into a bar at the same time.
“C’mon, miss, you know better than trying to sneak your 14 year old brother into a bar.”
‘Hey, I’m her twin brother!”
“Yeah, and I’m Abe Lincoln.”
To be fair, they’d both be out like a light after one drink of light beer.
To be fair, it would be even funnier if the bartender was historical Abe Lincoln.
That’d pretty much be my reaction to Sal.
I wonder how many pairs of gloves Sal owns. Because I just confirmed in the archives that Sal apparently has sex while wearing her gloves. Which is a bit weird, and makes me hope she changed them afterwards.
Thinking about Sal’s gloves and the archives just made me realize: the reason Sal wears gloves all the time is probably because she’s got a scar from when Amber stabbed her hand five years ago. I suspect this was supposed to be obvious and I’m just slow.
Also I can confirm that she owns at least one other pair.
Yep
I’m waiting for the moment when Sal figures out that the “weirdo” girl she ran into a bit back is the same girl who stabbed her years ago. I suspect she’ll have a flashback and response similar to the one Amber had.
I don’t know. I’m half convinced that, once she realizes who Amazi-Girl actually is she’s going to let it slide. It’s not like Sal is proud of her actions.
I mean, she threatened to stab Ethan. I don’t think she’s allowed to have the moral high ground.
Don’t be silly, everyone knows the high ground is something you seize and then do whatever is necessary to defend … now get off my damn molehill!
*Preps built -in weapons, locks & loads 30cal, grins evilly before armouring up* Make me…
There might even be a heartfelt apology in there somewhere. Sal seems pretty self aware.
That’s where I’m thinking it goes. I don’t believe Sal has ever considered her victims when she thinks about robbing the store, so realizing that it wasn’t just her who was hurt that night would probably give her some perspective.
Yes this is the reason. She could try and wear just one glove to cover the scar but it’s still really weird even after Michael Jackson did it.
No, it’s still really weird because Michael Jackson did it.
It was fine when it was just Luke Skywalker. Jackson ruined it.
also Floop from Spy Kids.
I’m sure that’s part of the reason, but remember that she rides a motorcycle and wears full leathers too. Gloves, even half-fingered gloves with a padded palm like bicyclists wear, would be considered appropriate equipment and probably wouldn’t even cause a raised eyebrow.
Most people wouldn’t eat wearing gloves though. Or try writing school notes wearing them either.
Of course it would be amusing if in fact Sal doesn’t have a scar, and just wears gloves all the time because she likes to.
yep
Speaking as a major glove geek, good gloves don’t generally absorb odors and the like, and are generally easy to clean.
Moreover, yes, we always have multiple pairs.
Think people with shoe closets..
It’s interesting that her gloves have largely been ignored by the other characters. Walky and Marcie(and there’s a title for a webcomic) presumably know or can guess why. Joyce is ignorant enough of such things that she probably thinks it’s some sort of cool biker thing. Jason might think it’s a fetish. I can imagine Carla asking questions at some point, because being a pain in the ass is her thing.
To be fair, other than the occasional ‘where did you get those awesome gloves from?’ I never really get feedback on my gloves when I go out in public, and I’ve worn them for a long time due to medical [pain] reasons.”
So probably doesn’t come up too often.
Is that a Van Sweringen hanging on the back wall?
Exquisite! Cheerio! Pip-pip! *and other assortments of cliche English slang*
Are we here to see some real bonding with the two? I honestly hope thy talk about Danny at some point.
Sal – Too badass to be carded.
Those of us who live in countries where the legal drinking in pubs age is 18 are often baffled that youngsters in the USA work so hard at getting fake IDs, etc.
Heinousactsz1, you think Sal is a Dork? Totally hopeless you are.
Walky is her brother, I’m sure he knows why she wears gloves. As does Marcie, being her best friend. Joyce wouldn’t dare ask, she’s too in awe of Sal, and likely just thinks it’s an affectation anyway. As do most of the others around her. They go with her persona.
As for Jason. He strikes me in the same vein as Danny. Neither are all that outstanding in any one way. Rather bland, not bad, just boring. Danny could grow up to be Jason quite easily I think. Just give him a bow tie.
As to Jason’s authority, he’s not a full Prof., really hasn’t got that much authority. And he really should use his head and stop sniffing around a student, one that especially doesn’t hold him in much esteem at all.
Guess he is one of those guys that figure he can’t REALLY be disliked, you just misunderstand him.
Jason is apparently one of the few people at this school who WANT to be good teachers. Sal tried to fuck her way to better grades after He said it wouldn’t work, then called him a bad teacher. She was aweful. Danny got through because she let him.
In fairness to Sal, Jason probably IS a bad teacher, but I’m betting it’s because 1) his subject comes easily to him, 2) he’s the specific kind of personality that can’t see when things actually are difficult because they’re not difficult for him (I am that kind of person in some ways and I have to consciously fight to see the other side), and 3) he’s never actually learned how to teach, only how to lecture.
He has the desire to do better and be a good teacher, which is more than we’ve seen from Professor Rees or Penny.
From what we saw of their tutoring session, Jason is a bad teacher, at least for Sal. Danny got through to her because Danny tried a different approach, tailored to his observations of Sal, rather than alternating repeating the things the she failed to get before with critiquing her personal life.
I like how this time its Jason who meets Sal at a bar. Don’t think I didn’t notice that.
I hope Jason become more likeable.
Eh, Jason didn’t really strike me as a bar-lurker.
Jason dressed for night time debauchery
This night is going to end up with Sal and Jason in the same bed. Mark my words.
Agh Jason, great. And of course he would wear a bow-tie to a pub. Of course.
I actually hope these two end up together.
Man…five years ago, this kind of girl would have been the worst kind of news for me. She’s beautiful. She’s smarter than she let’s on. She’s clearly hiding herself from everyone as best she can.
I’ve got a weird knack for getting people to open up to me. So she’d feel weirdly comfortable around me. Drinks happen. The things that, “drinks happening,” causes happen.
We get seemingly closer and closer, then at some point, it becomes clear that I know everything about her, but she knows nothing about who I am and what makes me tick. The entire relationship started because I saw an enchanting puzzle I wanted to unravel. In finding this hidden person, I fall in love with it.
I’ve fallen in love with her because she’s open with me. She was infatuated with me because she felt secure in telling me what she is afraid to tell anyone else. The infatuation doesn’t last and she looks for me and realizes that I haven’t offered up much of myself.
She’s bared all for me when she hides from everyone else, and in return, I’ve been cryptic and reserved about myself.
The truth is, I don’t know how to let anyone in. I don’t know how to get in. I feel like a stranger to myself. I like unraveling puzzles because I can’t even figure out where to begin on my own.
In this above written musing, I figured something out. People that feel misunderstood feel comfortable with me because I ooze empathy for being misunderstood. I don’t ask, “Who are you, really? What’s behind the mask?” I ask, “Why do you feel misunderstood? Why do you wear the mask?”
Yes, I am totally a self-aware Danny. Sal finds him charming and she doesn’t know why. Ethan is extremely attracted to him. Amber sees someone she can show herself to. These are all people that wear masks. Danny isn’t curious about the mask. He wants to know the person behind it.
Ethan isn’t extremely attracted to Danny, Danny is extremely attracted to Ethan.
None of them are extremely attracted, but the attraction is mutual. Ethan is (slightly) better at hiding it because he’s used to hide his crushes.
She stole my act.
Awe man… I was hoping the two guys in the background would’ve been tagged. The more fleshed out the universe is, the better.
I still wanna know who the people in panel 1 of this comic are. http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/02-threes-a-crowd/trauma/
“If there is a bicycle hung above the mantel in the first act…”
…a drunk TA with a bowtie will crash out into a fountain layer that night in a feeble attempt to impress a hot biker chick.
So it is writ, so let it be done.
That’s like the third rule of literature.
Given the day, I have to wonder if this is supposed to be the Irish Lion.
Going to university in England, I find it odd whenever students have to sneak into bars or get booze. Without booze a British uni would cease to exist!
Seriously, are American colleges this strict? Especially with the alcohol ban in the dorms, how do you even enforce that?
Yes they are, and with weekly walkthroughs of the dorms by Resident Assistants.
Sure this is more for the Freshmen and Sophmore dorms but people still have to hide any semblance of alcohol on campus for the most part.
Alcohol in residence is a definite no-no, it can get you expelled. Some schools are a bit more lenient insofar as they have an on-campus pub (I’m at the University of Alaska, and we have one.) Of course, the prohibition of alcohol doesn’t work particularly well, since it makes the youngsters absolutely obsessed with getting drunk, and so go about their consumption in far more dangerous ways than if it were just allowed.
Ah, Americans. We’re immoderate in everything but our politics.
We had a campus pub too! *hi-5’s*
So, a brit and his bowtie walk into a bar…
Here we go again http://www.itswalky.com/comic/for-the-kid/
Ah, thanks, I got a bit mystified by all the references to what-had-been-before
Since I’m the only here to have noticed this, apparently, how many times has Sal “taken the lords name in vain”? I think this is first time actually.
If it had been Joyce (or Becky) using actual swear words, people would have noticed. But anybody else? I don’t see how it would be noteworthy, and I only had to go back to Sal’s previous appearance to see more swearing.
Fun Fact: His name isn’t “God”. It’s also not “Lord”.
These are what we call “titles”.
You see, His actual name doesn’t appear in the Bible, because you’re not allowed to say it. You can say “God damn it” all you want. That’s fine. His name isn’t ‘God’. If you demand YAHWEH damn something, then you’re in violation. The entire reason the Bible is full of “God” and “Lord” is because that’s what you’re ALLOWED to say.
Other fun fact: God never said this. You are totally allowed to say YAHWEH, or however you feel like translating it. It’s just that the Israelites were so paranoid about misusing God’s name that they made it sort of an unwritten rule to not use it at all. The intent behind “God damn it” and “YAHWEH damn it” is exactly the same, and that’s what actually matters. (The fact that today the phrase has lost much of its severity is also relevant in this regard.)
If you want to say God damn it, then just do it and own up to it instead of clinging to an interpretation of scripture that makes it not a sin. God isn’t going to love you any less for it. That’s kind of the entire point of Christianity, despite what some Christians would have you believe.
Obviously if you don’t believe in the Judeochristian god than none of this applies to you so feel free to do whatever, I guess.
Yeah, that’s just not true at all. It’s the name that matters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragrammaton#Verbal_prohibitions
Eh, agree to disagree, then. From my perspective anyway, nothing in that article contradicts what I said, except that the unwritten rule was in fact written, which I didn’t actually know, so thank you for that.
Another fun fact, there’s a reason I put “taken the lords name in vain” in quotes. And that’s why.
I haven’t been counting “goddamn”s (and am not planning to), but this is certainly not the first time Sal has said it.
Ah, thanks John. I brought it up because of the Catholic school thing, where it might have been, ah, “beaten” out of her.
And a Happy Amateur Night to you too, Mr Willis
Sal likes to spend her Friday night alone by the bar. She didn’t want to hang out with Marcie anyway.
Stupid Marcie.
“I-it’s not like she l-likes that stupid Marcie or anything!”
She prefers wal-mart parking lots.
“So how’s your day been?”
“Oh, ah alienated mah best friend. Yours?”
“A colleague put a ‘punch me’ sign on my back and I didn’t notice until after a janitor took a bloody swing at me.”
I guarantee you they will commiserate about Marcie and Penny, even if they do it obliquely without naming names.
Those things in the foreground XD (bar-taps)? looks like one of them is yelling at the other one and that last thing to the left is just going “shit I’m staying out of this one”
Your favorite beer is shit!
By angling them like that it allows the bartender/beer pourer to be able to operate one handle without jarring and possibly accidentally opening an adjacent one. Also allows more room for the advertising knobs at the top to be more easily seen.
Hsssssssss. We hates the Jason.
Yes, Jason, she’s underage. That’s why she’s just got a glass of chocolate milk.
But in a dirty glass!!
Wait so did she get in because she’s part native American or because she’s attractive?
Unless I missed something, she’s part African American, not Native American.
And she got in because she’s hot and outwardly self-confident. Hot girls are allowed into bars/club more readily than other people, because they attract customers. People who are outwardly self-confident can go where they shouldn’t be simply by not looking like they shouldn’t be there.
Mae West said it:
Good girls go to heaven…
So, a man walked into a bar…
And cried, “OWW!”
Man, I really like the background work in this one. Dunno why, it just has a very dynamic vibe.
Whoa, It’s Walky flashback
Oh, I see. It’s a bar. And people under 21 here nowadays can’t be anywhere near the actual bar. Right. I thought he was asking about IU – which seemed a bit odd, actually.
