            It’d be funny if she was still pursuing the story while billie was slowly dying from alcohol poisoning.

            “don’t feel so good…seeing a white light…grandma?”

    Dorothy and Billie are both missing out on the big story in the next room. I know it’s Billie’s job to cover the Amazi-Girl story, but she’s so blotto Dorothy could easily get the scoop she wanted in the first place.

      Billie should apply to to be Amazi-Girl’s sidekick. Amazi-Girl’s bones were rendered “super-dense” by a “lab accident”, and Billie can say her liver was rendered “super-efficient” by a “keg party accident”.

            No, actually. Because the alcohol relaxes you, you don’t tense up in anticipation of injury, which means you take blows without taking nearly as much damage as you would sober. That’s why drunk drivers usually walk away from their car wrecks relatively unscathed.

            ((To be clear, I am NOT advocating drunk driving.)

                Speed McGee has a steroid and neural enhancement suit. Its’ listed effects are that it makes him super fast and numbs him to all pain. This allows him to run through brick walls at 700mph and be unscathed by the experience.

                Explain that. If pain isn’t the direct cause of harm then how does that work? You telling me a comic book did science wrong?

        “Try as she might, Amazi-girl was still but a moment to late as the package went over the railing and into the enormous brewing vat. There were only seconds before it would be dissolved and the chemical inside would turn to a poison gas, killing everyone in the area. That vat had to be drained – and fast! “

    GLASSES! All the cool kids wear glasses 😀

    It shocked me to see Beef! And in this setting! And Roz is introducing Beef. I don’t think Roz ever met Beef in the Walkyverse, in fact that’s most definite!

    I read through the comic, and was starting to read the comments when I remembered to go back and look for Amazigirl.

    …not today. Almost tempted to head over to Shortpacked to see if Willis put her in with the Robins…..

      I’m not sure Roz is wearing a bra. I think that might just be a cami. Which doesn’t really give her room to talk about somebody else wearing a comfy PJ sweater…

    It’s amazing how little things like that take one back. Although if I see references to the piggly wiggly, I’m going to wind up with some gawd awful redneck flashbacks… (and yes, before people bongo that it was a joke in a movie, that damn place is real… it’s real I tells you! Sadly, so is a place in alaska called 3 bears.)

      Supposedly Piggly Wiggly still has about 600 stores (according to wiki anyway), but you never really see them around anymore. The only places I’ve actually seen one recently are Western Tennessee and North Alabama. Like everything else in the south they’ve been devoured by WalMart and Kudzu.

          There are two Piggly Wiggly stores in my town (one of them moved in after the Food World finally died), and the next town over has a Piggly Wiggly and a Winn Dixie. Most people around here buy their meats from Piggly Wiggly even if they do the rest of their grocery shopping elsewhere.

    I came across a few when I was roaming from louisiana up through mississippi and arkansas. saw a few in georgia too. Admittedly, it was 15 or so years ago, and I’m betting there weren’t that many teeth in total among either the customers or the employees. It was a nightmarish experience that seemed to feature banjo’s quite often.

    When I read today’s strip Billie’s voice was Toot’s voice from Drawn Together. Maybe because of the drunkenness.
