(I couldn’t remember whether they had any and I was on a phone and anyway it’s Sal talking, no doubt she was too distracted to notice the Twinkies and/or Amber was in the way)
I’m assuming there must have a been a few other random people in the convenience store who could’ve also called the cops on Sal, though they did arrive pretty fast if I remember right.
Blaine paid with his credit card at the pump and than sat in his car waiting for the kids to come back, because to him any time away from them was blessed. And then when the cops got there, he stayed out of it until he was sure no trouble would redound to him.
The convenience store was pretty much empty apart from Amber and Ethan from what we have seen. But the cops arrived pretty much the MOMENT she decided to act. Like, she kicked over a display sign then bam, the cops were there.
Fun, slightly-relevant fact–one time my brother (then 6) punched a black belt (then 11) in the stomach in my defense. The guy was my classmate, one of those “bullies you horrendously because he Likes you” kind of jerks. (Still got a tiny scar on my finger from that kid, actually.)
The black belt almost cried. My brother faced exactly no consequences somehow, and I still tell this story at parties. Jk, I don’t go to parties–but I do still tell the story in comment sections.
Yeah, no one gets to be called a black belt at 11 years old. That’s just parenting code for, “I want my child to feel special, even if they’re worthless.”
If I remember correctly, in the style of karate I was in, underage black belt level students got red belts, then were awarded black belts when they were old enough.
I was thinking Sal had likely connected the dots, but I guess we’re seeing this wasn’t out of left field, but not something she knew for a fact yet. Interesting.
Also, while it’s not for the best reasons that it’s been brought to the forefront, it’s been nice seeing Walky and Sal care about each other a lot this storyline.
At first, I thought you were talking about the “two fingered salute” and I thought “This is set in America. That’s not a thing in America.” Then I realized you probably meant flipping the bird with both hands… I’m a bad American.
I think that’s a disturbing thing to say about a 13 year old. Sal doesn’t look like the kind of person who’d threaten to slit another kids throat but it happened.
Walky punched Asher because Walky has poor impulse control and Asher rubbed Walky the wrong way. If Walky cared that much about Sal, he would have, I dunno, called her or emailed her or texted her while she was away for 5 years?
Walky is a pretty easygoing guy, and so far his impulse control issues have mostly resulted in him eating too much junk food, and doing other things when he should be studying. But when faced with other situations where impulse control matters…well, he’s Walky.
I’m not saying he cared (or at least, cared in the same way) during the five years, but he has been realizing how different his life has been from Sal’s, and how much he hasn’t been showing up for her, and that is literally what he got mad about on the page.
He didn’t care during those five years, but he has realised since then that he does care about his sister and lost 5 whole years with her because of Asher. And he regrets the fact he didn’t care before.
To be perfectly fair, I think he WAS a piece of shit at age 13. He might be perfectly correct that he has left his shitty ways behind. We will probably find out, eventually.
“Well, you wouldn’t expect a sister to call her brother ‘father’…” – Father Mulcahy, after Hawkeye reads him a letter his sister (a nun) wrote him in which she addressed him by his given name, “Francis”.
I used to call my sister “sis”. Because I thought we needed more running gags and catchphrases in our lives and “Stop calling me that” seemed like a good one.
I call both my siblings nicknames and they both do the same for me. I think it depends very much on your actual manner of speaking in the same way that different people call their mother, well, Mother, Mum/Mom, Mummy/Mommy, Mama, Ma etc. but don’t use all variations. Some will find saying ‘sis/bro’ natural, and others won’t.
I have a twin brother. I say things like bro, bro-bro, bray-bray, brie-brie, Broseph of Arimathea, Keeper of the Most Broly Grail. At that point, it mostly is just a game to waste his time before actually making whatever point the conversation had. Don’t really do that with my sis. Her name is Sarah, so I occasionally call her Sar-Sar.
Finally found work again, yesterday. My brother hooked me up where he works, which was totally cool of him. Really wasn’t expecting the first interview, paperwork, and e-learning to all be on the same day, talk about hired on the spot. My first shift is 11-5 today, too, so that’s extra helpful. I was literally four days away from running out of phone service entirely.
Thank you! Allegedly, payday is on the 6th, and I’ve got like 20 hours scheduled next week, so at least my house obligations should be taken care of. That abyss is gonna be rough, though.
not a lot to say about this mary worth other than i was curious how you make vegan lasagna and i looked it up and received psychic damage from three-to-four different revulsions/phobias
today in #9chickweedlane i learned that despite being ostensibly new yorkers, the characters in this strip sure like to talk about british royalty all the time

question: does the UK still call the ninja turtles the hero turtles, and if not, how far back did they stop
in other words, would dumbing of age's jason, who's like 22, still call them the hero turtles
“ah mean, who ELSE woulda”
“like, a dozen OTHER witnesses?”
“seriously? have ya SEEN that convenience store? din’t even have Twinkies”
Ding dong, you are wrong.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2013/comic/book-4/01-the-only-dope-for-me-is-you/twinkies/
Although, speaking of ding dongs, they were out of those.
(I couldn’t remember whether they had any and I was on a phone and anyway it’s Sal talking, no doubt she was too distracted to notice the Twinkies and/or Amber was in the way)
All very good points to my pedantism
(sorry to be obnoxious about it but I really wanted to make a hostess snack joke)
Puns have no place in our Funny Bones.
There is ALWAYS places for puns. Have you no humerus?
We are not worthy.
When it comes to bone puns, we need to put the hammer down on the anvil. Otherwise we could stirrup controversy.
I hear that!
Listen, you ring dings, Funny Bones are a Drake snack cake, at least here in the USA.
You mean in the Eastern Seaboard of the USA. Never heard of Drake’s or Funny Bones ™ until I googled them just now.
Well, this is only going to Snowball.
HoHo, breaking out all kinds of Zingers, are we
*tries to think of a way to work Hostess Fruit Pies into a pun, fails*
When all else fails, pie, pie again.
“There is ALWAYS places for puns. Have you no humerus?”
Is there an exact place for puns, or do they only have to be within a certain radius?
understandable. the chance to bust out all hostess and packaged snack cake material only comes along so often.
:O
Now punch your parents like a good brother, Walky.
It’s Scooby’s Law: the innocuous secondary character who doesn’t seem to have any reason to be there did it.
Dang, and I totally thought Red Herring had done it. I never woulda guessed Asher did it!
Well, in fairness, Sal has had a while to think about it.
*plays Mattiel’s “Food For Thought” on the hacked Muzak*
So Walky, ultimate comic/coward, has punched someone, and that’s only after being with Amber.
I never thought of it that way before.
Yeah, in retrospect, there’s not really a ton of others it could have been.
Only other people I can think of, with enough narrative buildup anyway, are the Walkerparents.
I’m assuming there must have a been a few other random people in the convenience store who could’ve also called the cops on Sal, though they did arrive pretty fast if I remember right.
Man, where was Blaine during the whole scene? It doesn’t take that long to pump gas and then come in to pay.
Blaine paid with his credit card at the pump and than sat in his car waiting for the kids to come back, because to him any time away from them was blessed. And then when the cops got there, he stayed out of it until he was sure no trouble would redound to him.
I hear Shotpacked-Blaine was with the Mob or something along those lines, part of me is surprised that he didn’t just vanish when the Cops showed…
(This Blaine also has mob ties, as Mike found out by going through restaraunt receipts…)
The convenience store was pretty much empty apart from Amber and Ethan from what we have seen. But the cops arrived pretty much the MOMENT she decided to act. Like, she kicked over a display sign then bam, the cops were there.
Fun, slightly-relevant fact–one time my brother (then 6) punched a black belt (then 11) in the stomach in my defense. The guy was my classmate, one of those “bullies you horrendously because he Likes you” kind of jerks. (Still got a tiny scar on my finger from that kid, actually.)
The black belt almost cried. My brother faced exactly no consequences somehow, and I still tell this story at parties. Jk, I don’t go to parties–but I do still tell the story in comment sections.
Yeah, no one gets to be called a black belt at 11 years old. That’s just parenting code for, “I want my child to feel special, even if they’re worthless.”
Yeah, the first two ranks of black belt that kids could gain were more “practice” black belting. (I was one too, haha)
If I remember correctly, in the style of karate I was in, underage black belt level students got red belts, then were awarded black belts when they were old enough.
Who said we can’t have a party in the comment section tho?
BYOB Party! Whoo! *starts channeling Billie*
Fortuantely, I came pre-drunk so I can get super-drunk quickly!
I was thinking Sal had likely connected the dots, but I guess we’re seeing this wasn’t out of left field, but not something she knew for a fact yet. Interesting.
Also, while it’s not for the best reasons that it’s been brought to the forefront, it’s been nice seeing Walky and Sal care about each other a lot this storyline.
Yeah, that’s made me really happy too.
I mean, have you seen him? Totally looked like a guy who’d throw a friend under the bus.
But seriously; Walky is making up for the lack of fingers he lifted in the past. With five; to be exact.
Now he just needs to lift one particular finger to his parents in Sal’s defense, lol
How about two?
At first, I thought you were talking about the “two fingered salute” and I thought “This is set in America. That’s not a thing in America.” Then I realized you probably meant flipping the bird with both hands… I’m a bad American.
five finger defense punch is my favorite band
I think that’s a disturbing thing to say about a 13 year old. Sal doesn’t look like the kind of person who’d threaten to slit another kids throat but it happened.
People aren’t the sum of one action.
If only named characters are relevant, then what other secrets are hiding in the background?
What is Asma hiding under the front desk?
Just how badly does Daisy want to get laid?
Who is getting a blowjob form Blowjob Cat?
How many of those questions is the phrase “Mike for a nickel” the answer to?
How many nickels have I?
Probably not enough.
Never enough.
An etemal motion machine.
EXTREMELY badly.
Anyone who wants, BJ Cat ain’t picky.
Called it, back on the 28th.
You did. You called it to the exact quote. Impressive.
everyone called it
Also, I really hope Walky tells Sal like, specifically why he punched him (ie, that he lost 5 years with his sister)
Walky punched Asher because Walky has poor impulse control and Asher rubbed Walky the wrong way. If Walky cared that much about Sal, he would have, I dunno, called her or emailed her or texted her while she was away for 5 years?
Walky is a pretty easygoing guy, and so far his impulse control issues have mostly resulted in him eating too much junk food, and doing other things when he should be studying. But when faced with other situations where impulse control matters…well, he’s Walky.
I’m not saying he cared (or at least, cared in the same way) during the five years, but he has been realizing how different his life has been from Sal’s, and how much he hasn’t been showing up for her, and that is literally what he got mad about on the page.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2019/comic/book-9-comic/04-vote-for-robin/trail/
He didn’t care during those five years, but he has realised since then that he does care about his sister and lost 5 whole years with her because of Asher. And he regrets the fact he didn’t care before.
I didn’t.
*many called it
Sal: “You punched a guy for me?!”
Walky: “Because he is evil…”
Sal: “That I already know, but you punched a guy?!”
Sue Aside must be walking around with a swelled head right now.
This is another of those strips where I can’t help but imagine Sal sounding like Applejack.
Oh… You too? :-p
I really love the Walkerton kids’ family dynamic. There’s so much love and mutual protection here! They really WANT to look out for eachother!
Okay, Sal, first apologize to Amber, then tell the tale of how you’d figured out Asher’s role before today.
In conclusion: Asher was a piece of shit.
I’m starting to get a feeling Asher isn’t your favourite character.
And here I am all subtle and shit
To be perfectly fair, I think he WAS a piece of shit at age 13. He might be perfectly correct that he has left his shitty ways behind. We will probably find out, eventually.
As subtle as your avatar.
Do any two siblings call each other “bro”/”sis” more than the Walkertons?
Well do you expect Sal to call him “Walky”?
“Well, you wouldn’t expect a sister to call her brother ‘father’…” – Father Mulcahy, after Hawkeye reads him a letter his sister (a nun) wrote him in which she addressed him by his given name, “Francis”.
I mean there’s “David”
Sal’s called him ‘David’ a couple of times.
I used to call my sister “sis”. Because I thought we needed more running gags and catchphrases in our lives and “Stop calling me that” seemed like a good one.
I call both my siblings nicknames and they both do the same for me. I think it depends very much on your actual manner of speaking in the same way that different people call their mother, well, Mother, Mum/Mom, Mummy/Mommy, Mama, Ma etc. but don’t use all variations. Some will find saying ‘sis/bro’ natural, and others won’t.
I have one sibling who does it often, but I also have a boatload if siblings do they may have just given up on learning everyone’s name.
I have seven sisters and a brother. None of them call me “bro.”
I have a twin brother. I say things like bro, bro-bro, bray-bray, brie-brie, Broseph of Arimathea, Keeper of the Most Broly Grail. At that point, it mostly is just a game to waste his time before actually making whatever point the conversation had. Don’t really do that with my sis. Her name is Sarah, so I occasionally call her Sar-Sar.
Finally found work again, yesterday. My brother hooked me up where he works, which was totally cool of him. Really wasn’t expecting the first interview, paperwork, and e-learning to all be on the same day, talk about hired on the spot. My first shift is 11-5 today, too, so that’s extra helpful. I was literally four days away from running out of phone service entirely.
Congrats!
Thank you!
Congratulations! Now you simply have to survive the YAWNING ABYSS between being hired and getting your first paycheck! Good luck!
Thank you! Allegedly, payday is on the 6th, and I’ve got like 20 hours scheduled next week, so at least my house obligations should be taken care of. That abyss is gonna be rough, though.
Yay!
Yay indeed!
Good lord, but my spoons are about gone.
Sal’s pas is more and more sad. Betrayed by parents and friends. Marcie was really the only one for her.
If her suspicions are confirmed, I wonder if Sal will bother seeking Asher out. And hopefully to just talk, not fight.
It’s probably bygones be bygones at this point, putting in the energy to care for something five years in the past.
