        it’s actually quite comfortable as long as you have the proper padding under the metal and the crotch area isn’t too big.

        Seriously, it’s no different than the various styles of plate armor worn for almost 1,900 years by greeks, romans, knights, and conquistadors…

        I am simultaneously disappointed and relieved that no artist, fan or otherwise has replied to this with “Challenge Accepted.”

        Also, luckily I couldn’t reliably draw Walky fully clothed, let alone less so, so I don’t feel the need as an artist to fill that void.

      Thank goodness for the Blue Jays, for a team owned by a major corporation they sure find ways of being cheap and losing their star players!

      At least the Leafs have “salary cap issues” as a legitimate excuse, the Blue Jays have nothing but apathy to blame.

          I don’t think it’d fit. But then again, I might be the only one who feels like Walky wanted the pajama jeans less to be a slob and more because jeans don’t have enough room.

    Seriously Walky, have you ever worn a metal bikini?

    It’d be super cold, it’d probably pinch, and it’s metal on your skin. That’s not comfy.

    • vlademir1

      June 14, 2019 at 12:31 am | #

      To be fair, you’d underpad the metal with leather or the like just as one wouldn’t wear medieval armor without a gambeson. Outside that very specific aspect regarding metal directly on one’s skin your point stands.

      • BBCC

        June 14, 2019 at 1:57 am | #

        In universe, it is indeed meant to be metal on skin. IRL, I’m pretty sure it was hard plastic. Regardless, it was still apparently uncomfortable as shit.

    • Yotomoe

          June 14, 2019 at 2:58 pm | #

          Lining it with leather or heavy cloth would remove the pinching aspect. Just ask Wendy Pini about chainmail bikinis…

      I have a metal bikini for a costume and all the joints are welded in a way it’s smooth. Hell yes to the cold to put on but it warms up super quick. No lining built in but made to have something under if chosen. (Cleaning products from cloth and metal don’t really play along). There are people who mix crochet and scale maile to make cool dragon stuffier. It’s just not something cleanable in a wearable setting would be my guess.

              You are right about Gennaro being killed before Arnold, but Gennaro was killed by the T-Rex when the power was killed. And he was the second person killed after the raptor handler(Jophery Brown) is killed in the opening seconds of the movie and whose death setup the whole chain of events to get the core group to the island

      Does that count as a Monkey Island reference? The “second biggest” thing was a catch phrase in Get Smart before it, and I’ve heard it in a number of things, from Garfield to Madagascar.

        Sure, it’s a fairly common joke that a lot of things have used, but Get Smart and Monkey Island are the two that used it frequently enough to have the phrase considered a catch phrase. And just based on Willis’ approximate age, Monkey Island seems more likely.

    I fail to see the point of cosplaying any Leia costume that doesn’t feature the side hair cinnamon buns. And I otherwise hate hair buns. The term brings up a disturbing mental image.

      Yes to this, Cattleprod. Actually, I’m surprised women don’t use that hairstyle in real life sometimes. I’ve always thought it would look rather nice.

        Have done before and for the most part I did not find how the weight put pressure oh my skull comfy in some designs and the number of pins others needed were ridiculous. I tend to stay away from any hair style that requires a handful of the little black metal demons because my hair eats them.

          The problem is the combo, hair (food). It makes me think about eating hair, and I think that’s why I’ve disliked hair buns ever since I was a kid.

        Sounds like a good title for a DoA book box set, if the box gets printed to look like a dorm room.

    I feel like the Raptor is warping time and space around it and making the dorm bigger on the inside then it looks from the outside, and that’s why everyone can still move around that gargantuan thing.

    I have two questions.

    1. Is reality warping against campus rules?
    2. How long until Amber and Dina make their own TARDIS?

      Dina may be on the autism spectrum, in which case she probably means it literally, and is unaware of the double entêndre.

      Amber, however, almost certainly gets it.

    Yeah, Walky? The chances of getting Amber into what Carrie Fisher described as both hideously embarrassing and awfully uncomfortable is pretty close to zero. That said, having mentioned it, Willis has pretty much guaranteed that he will face overwhelming reader pressure to create the pin-up.

    “Holy Muldoon” proves that, even when surprised, Walky’s pop culture wits are fully with him!
