            But I like being a jerk! 😛

            Today’s gravatar is Poong Sae-Young from the Korean webcomic The Gamer, the story about Han Jee-Han, who discovers that he has been granted the powers of being a RPG character in the real world, wish includes being able to boost any stat with whatever points he has earnt, often by grinding.

            Poong Sae-Young is the older cousin of Han’s friend and not only was she a Taekwondo Olympic medallist, she has super-human strength due to her training in her family’s martial art.

                  I already got into “Frivolesque” recently because of you(r gravatars).

          Y’know, I always though a gravatar/avatar was kinda like a trademarlk — like the two bearded guys on a Smith Brother cough drop box and the phrase “Trade Mark”.  Changing it at the drop of a hat seems to defeat the purpose.

            I like to think of PM as doing a public service, exposing the comments section to new and visually exciting anime via his/her grav. Besides, in her/his own way, it’s kinda become his/her trademark.

      Jason’s probably a gunfighter instead of a puncher. Has a pair of ancient Webley .455 revolvers that belonged to his great-great-grandfather, Lord So and So of Such and Such, who used them in the Boer War. Not that he could conceal them in that outfit.

    Interesting. I stop by to have 1 last look at Trousers at 12:12pm Western Australia time, only to discover a new strip. I thought it was supposed to be 13:01pm Western Australia time. Has daylight savings kicked in in the home of the Walkyverse & Dumbingverse?

      If Jason knows what’s good for him, he leaves her at the front door. The math TA cannot be seen dropping off a drunk first-year student (from his class!) in her dorm.

      Jason can’t exactly carry a drunk student up into the girl’s dorm. I’m thinking they run into Dorothy and co. and they’ll bring her up.

      Even when Amber was completely determined to beat the hell out of Sal thinking it was her last chance to ever confront her, she had to have a “legit” reason to do it (Underaged drinking?! Clearly she’s still a dastardly cur!) and even then prompted Sal’s group to throw the first punch. She hates Sal, but I don’t think she could bring herself to attack a helpless drunk woman.

      They run into Marcie, who will be exceedingly upset that Sal is drinking, since she knows Sal can’t hold her liquor. That is in fact what I had kind of expected for this strip, Marcie showing up in the bar and letting Sal have it with both hands.

      Amazi-Girl must be out on patrol somewhere right now, but I kind of hope she’s not, because it would be really interesting if they ran into Amber in civilian clothes instead. As much as she hates Sal, she can’t really express it without the costume for fear of inviting suspicion. So she’d have to say, through gritted teeth, “Yes, of course I’ll help my neighbor find her room.”

      And then she and Sal would have a strange, potentially bonding conversation that Sal would not remember at all in the morning.

    Sal manages to come off looking pretty good for a drunk. That’s a trick in itself. And not too much booze, not enough capacity for it. Jason said he’s now learned she can’t hold her drink.
    Sort of expecting her to barf all down the front of him when she ‘hrrrrrng’ at him.
    Funny and sad strip. Even Sal can feel sorry for herself it seems.
    Jason’s a gentleman, bow tie and all.
    Who’s standing “over there”? The guy from the bar? Amzi-girl?
    Stay tuned for another roller coaster ride on the DoA.

        I think it’s been made pretty clear that Marcie is Sal’s crutch. Like half of this chapter is about her dealing with it. Or trying *not* to deal with it.

        I just like the detail that Marcie is who keeps Sal calm and civil – crutch or not, she must have had a really important place in Sal’s post-holdup rehabilitation. As we don’t know much about that period of Sal’s life, every detail like that helps building it.

    I love that Sal wants him to go fight somebody for her because she’s just aware enough to realize, as she fails at shoving him, that it’d be too hard to do it herself, but drunk and depressed enough not to realize how stupid (and nonsensical) it is to ask Jason to do it instead.

Republicans: WE NOMINATE SKELETOR Democrats: We dislike Skeletor but we will vote to confirm him. Please give us between 5 and 50 dollars. Democrats: I stand before you to condemn the actions of Skeletor. He should have never been given this power. Please give me between 5 and 50 dollars.
