      She actually looks surprisingly un-Sal in the 5th panel, all doe-eyed and everything. Kind of cute.

        I think it’s just the lack of scowl. It tends to change people.

        Sal’s so attractive she can make men’s eyebrows disappear (or rise so high they blend in with the hairline).

        You blew it. The eyes, the rest of the face, the pose, even the tanktop and tattoo, she’s quite innocently seductive in that frame.

            It works. It’s like she’s saying, “Hey. Look. Hot bod. Your opinion’s OVERRULED.” She don’t need to do nothing, just let him notice her and make the tatto and the top work their magic.

            And it kinda makes it seem like she’s at least a little bit interested in him too and waiting for how he’ll react. She certainly didn’t care that much about what anyone else thought or did in the strip before.

            So yeah, the pose + the blank face, definitely works.

              I’m not seeing anything seductive or sexual in what Sal’s doing. And I’m the sort who thinks everything anyone does is coming on to me.

      Given that it’s Joyce, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had been waving the whole time.

      Also, as a TA, turning away the hottie is often the wise decision, at least initially.

              Personal experience, both myself and two sisters. One sister was already touching the floor by 18, due to insisting on not wearing a bra. My twin is a little bit better, but she had trouble for a while with fitting bras under tanks, but appears to be fine now. Mine are still perky and I wear a bra every damn day (my family tends to have large, heavy breasts)

    … Ethics be damned, that’s one of those situations where the teacher would not only pay attention, but he (or in some cases she) would look like he was paying attention.

        Joe, don’t forget, they showed him dieing 😛 Time might not be SET IN STONE, but they are the most likely conclusion of the events that will transpire if left unchanged, and nobody has done anything to change them thus far 😛 Even if he finds out how/when he’s going to die, it’s still doesn’t change the fact that that was the most likely event.

        And Grrt, you’re forgetting that a time lord can die if they’re killed before they can regenerate, which he was.

        Is the comment section confusing in this continuity? Has it just not realized it yet?

        Seriously though, He’ll be back. They always come back.

        Yeah, Hinamizawa’s a bongo that way. They should really put up some warning signs or something.

      A picture of a Martian, or an actual 2 dimensional being who comes from Mars?

        Martian ship now that I look closer at it. From It’s Walky.

        A Tarantugan to be exact.

    So, from this point on, Jason will spend the next 3 – 4 years trying not to get into Sal’s pants while secretly lusting after her? Way to go, mate! You better stick with that set of ethics forever…. NOT.

    …seriously, just jump her bones already. You know everyone’s into the guy with the charming accent (also bow-tie).
    But, fine, you shouldn’t abuse your position of authority doing it, I’m sure that would be somewhat immoral. I don’t see why it should be wrong as a TA to have an affair with a student they’re into, as long as they’re of legal age… but I think even that may be a gray area. If he was a teacher, things would be different.

    I’ve come back five times to squeal over Jason.

    … I believe I may have missed him more than I previously calculated. *sigh* And I thought I was staving it off by re-reading ‘It’s Walky’ every month.

        Yes, yes it is. The first thing Jason says to Sal when he meets her, right before R! turns into Sci-fi.

          I thought as much.

          It had been several months since I did the Roomies/It’s Walky/Shortpacked archive binge.

          Took several weeks it did.

    … I would laugh if the commentary today inspired some sort of Doctor Who references later on.
