      I don’t see why. Walky doesn’t know anything about that and even if he did and cared it would be easier to get him fired from his new job since he doesn’t have a bartender’s license.

          When you attend a funeral
          It is sad to think that sooner or
          Later those you love will do the same for you
          And you may have thought it tragic
          (Not to mention other adjec-
          -tives) to think of all the weeping they will do
          But don’t you worry!

          No more ashes, no more sackcloth
          And an arm band made of black cloth
          Will some day nevermore adorn a sleeve
          For if the bomb that drops on you
          Gets your friends and neighbours too
          There’ll be nobody left behind to grieve!

    I like how Amber’s default is still set to violence, old habits die hard as they say. Also I’m split on hoping that Walky gets back with Dorothy or getting together with Amber again. Truly a dilemma, because which couple is better for each other?

              Actually, 100 kilos ~= 1000 N. If you can jump 1 meter high, you’ve just delivered 1000 N-m = 1 kJ. (= 1000 W-s, which is kind of impressive if you think about it.)

              One arm is weaker than two legs, of course. But Amazi-Girl’s fist might deliver a couple tenths of a kJ.

                Of course, Amber doesn’t weigh 100 kilos (220 lbs), and if she did, she couldn’t jump a meter.

                  No, she couldn’t. IIRC she’s about my height, and not that much.. wider.. than me, and even when I had enough muscle to cause trouble finding clothes I was under 130lbs. I’d guess she’s around 140-160.

                  For her to be 220lbs, at her height she’d have to be, like, a sumo wrestler or something.

                What if the punch is delivered from a low rooftop? (As in jumping down from the rooftop and punching as she does.)

                Well an average trained boxer’s punch delivers 776 pounds of force to the target, which translates to 3450 N. Now to figure out how much energy is actually being transfered i would need to know the crossectional area of Amazigirl’s fists, and whether or not her gloves have ridges to create smaller contact points, not unlike a brass knuckle.

          Not necessarily.
          They’ll definitely jump in when other crimes are going on and it’s fairly common for them to track down known villains who must be up to some nefarious scheme.
          This on the other hand sounds like pure revenge, since they have no idea he’s currently up to anything bad.

              To be fair, the original series didn’t sport many comprehensible plots. But robots as murderers and model planes that drop bombs on offending parties are incredibly cool ideas for that time. (Not to mention that Emma didn’t always need to be rescued and obviously was the more intelligent of the pair).

    Walky: “I was thinking of talking, or a prank, or seeing if that guy is still bad or became a better person…”
    Amber: “I don’t do those things. I just punch evil people and small time criminals.”
    Walky: “Well, we could go punch Trump?”
    Amber: *Suits up as Amazi-Girl.* “Let’s go.”

    If he’s trying to track down Asher I’m not too why he’d bother. If Asher has done anything against Sal or Walky I don’t think it’s been brought up yet, and if currently going to college he has probably put his criminal past behind him.

      He has a history with Sal. Last time someone showed up with a history with Sal, it kinda blew up. Probably wise to get ahead of it this time.

      That said, I really hope Asher’s doing better. I think it’s clear something was rotten in his house.

        +1 for the pun!

        Last I heard Asher ran away from home at the age of 10 and was heavily involved in this underground animal fighting ring. He got really obsessed with catching and training new stock, it got pretty bad.

      Walky blames Asher for Sal doing the robberies? I mean, that’s a little bit right, but we haven’t seen him pushing her into it. He definitely enabled, but the feel of that storyline was that Sal went looking for fast money by any means neccesary.

      • BBCC
        BBCC
        June 16, 2019 at 12:06 am | #

        I think it’s more, Walky knows he was involved and he and Sal have some sort of negative (or he thinks its negative) history and so he doesn’t want it to blow up if they run into each other like Amber and Sal did.

        Does Amber know Asher?

          Marsh Maryrose
          June 15, 2019 at 11:55 am | #

          Extremely unlikely. Amber is from Indianapolis, smack dab in the middle of the state, while Asher is from Evansville on the southern border. The two cities are about 180 miles apart.

          The only time we know Amber was in Evansville was the field trip where Sal held up the convenience store. We also know that Asher wasn’t at that particular holdup.

          So unless there is some as-yet unrevealed plot point, they probably don’t know each other. Of course, Sal-and-Amber was once an unrevealed plot point, so no one knows except Willis.

    Walky, stick to goof and denial (or if you want to improve, work on the denial part). Don’t waddle into the ‘sneaky schemes’ way of dealing with things. You are not built for it and it WILL make things worse.

      June 15, 2019 at 2:09 am | #

      Look, I get what you’re saying. Normally, I’d agree with you that this is not Walky’s forte and he should stay out of it.

      BUT

      This is my chance at getting more Sal backstory, so instead I am gonna say YOU HUSH. Let the Duke of Thingley try new things!

      …Yes, I realize I just got a whole storyline full of Sal backstory not that long ago, but imagine this were like…I dunno, more Becky or Dina backstory. That’s the level of enthusiasm I have for this. 😛

          Sal’s not allowed to have a break. She’s my favourite character so I want more info about her, and sadly she has a sad backstory so the incidents that reveal said backstory will probably be unfun.

    I’m guessing that they’re talking about Jason. Although, IMO, the worst thing they can do to him is to tell him that a freshman student has done a better job of tutoring Sal than him and that her grades are up. That would be twisting the knife in his ego!

      If he wanted to get back at Jason it would be easier to get him fired since he doesn’t have a bartender license. Insulting his teaching abilities means nothing since he knows he wasn’t good at it.

      Walky doesn’t know Jason and Sal have a history. He is not likely to be thrilled if he finds out, given his attitude towards Ruth after finding out about her and Billie. He was less than impressed.

      Hmm… we’ve established that Head Alien and his lot are fictional in this universe, but no similar establishment has occurred for SEMME.

      Then again, in this more grounded, realistic universe, it’s a lot harder to believe that a top secret government organization would ever employ someone like Walky.

        Since Monkey Master and the Head Alien are a part of the Dumbiverse — at least as a comic/video format — why wouldn’t SEMME be a part of that same universe?

        Or better yet, try this on for size … the person who designed the hoodie as seen in real life was inspired by having read “It’s Walky”, and only the cognoscenti would recognize the stripe and understand.
