      Nobody dies in the strip. Which means everyone is killed by the truck’s children off screen.

          I usually don’t like Chuck Norris jokes, except this one:

          Once upon a time Chuck Norris had sex with a robot.
          The result is nowadays known as Optimus Prime.

    I-It’s the rain. It’s the storm we all have to endure. We hate it but it’s every drop that runs down your face that traces out who you are, your shape… including the freshman fifteen you’re already rocking down south. Seriously, if you’d lay off the studying a little and go out with me more often we might have kept up. We just got owned by a WoW nerd with a pair of bolt cutters. The storm shows me so much right now, but not your abs.

    Concern: that this is going to be a coin-flip of perspective; one, Dorothy and Walky’s sweet, romantic adventures (with which I sympathize and from which I think most readers derive a good deal of amusement) and two, Amber’s equally understandable POV. But, my concern is that with the latter, something negative will occur. There’s a moral shoe to fall somewhere, usually, in Dave Willis’s comics, and what if Amber is the new Ruth in a Princess Diana fashion? To evade pursuers who didn’t see anything wrong in a chase for their own goals– who actually had a lot of jesting fun out of it, and for whom it seems to have been just a tiny bit of a game– Amber’s been put in a dangerous position. She’s on the roof of a moving truck, in the rain. Just saying, she could get really badly injured as a result of her attempt to evade publicity.

    Alternately, we could cue to Amber drying off safe and sound, or skip the rest of this entirely and see Amber in another context later, thus deducting she was pretty okay with the truck-surfing; until then, though, the nagging feeling fears something horrible will happen.
