                  Actually, Amazi-Girl would probably be closer to Neutral Good, since vigilantism is actually illegal. Unless alignments have changed dramatically with 4th Edition, Lawful characters have always been described as “obeying the laws of the land.”

    There was a guy like that who used to hang out with us in high school. You’d be out somewhere with a bunch of people, and you’d notice this guy was there in the back of the car, but nobody ever remembered where you picked him up… he was just there. We used to call him the Extra Slice.

    When we first met Sal, she had her motorbike suit zipped up to the collar. Then she took it off. When she next put it on, it was zipped up, but not to the collar (as it appears in panel 4 here). Then she took it off again. Next time she put it on, it was zipped up to the collar – and it has remained that way up to, and including, panel 1 in this comic.

    Continuity up to this strip, but not in this strip. Maybe she was taking it off, to reveal the swimsuit underneath, when she noticed Dina and stopped abruptly?

    I just noticed the discrepancy in this comic and looked up the archive comics tagged with ‘Sal’. I haven’t always been staring at Sal’s chest, really.

    I’m trying to match other DoA characters to characters from the Simpsons… Going through the DoA cast list in order:
    Joyce = Helen Lovejoy
    Sarah = … Maybe Marge?
    Billie = Sherri or Terri
    Walky = Ralph Wiggum (sorry, Walky)
    Sal = Armin Tamzarian (in his younger years)
    Dorothy = Lisa Simpson (established)
    Danny = Milhouse
    Joe = Disco Stu… or Duffman?
    Mike = Bart Simpson? Hank Scorpio? Herman? Snake?
    Ruth = Lindsey Naegle
    Ethan = Lenny or Carl. Probably Carl.
    Amber = Lisa with brown hair (from ep. 20, season 21, “To Surveil With Love”)
    Dina = ??? A mixture of Krusty the Clown and Wendell, maybe?
    Roz = Katja or Vicky. Probably Katja. 100 points if you recognise both of these names from the Simpsons.
    Amazi-Girl = Bartman.
    Becky = Maude Flanders. Because she’s Joyce’s friend, and we haven’t heard from her in a very long time.

    I’m kind of curious why there’s no “older” returning students in this series?

    The fact there’s been a trend of ex-military veterans (just out of the recent two wars) who’ve gone back to higher education to “learn”. I’d be curious to see a few veterans put in this web comic as its about “college” life. Let them provide some wisdom to the main cast and be alternatives to the usual lets go see an advisor behavior that many n00bs in college do. Heck, even veterans get pawned and confused because they’re adjusting to civilian life. This could be webcomic gold.

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action

Check out those stickers. They make him look pretty great, actually. That aircraft carrier mode shines. Tidal Wave is loose and incomplete! So there's only four (4) jets!

confirming that the reason there's been no Galaxy Version female characters in Blokees until now is that they felt they needed to make Round Lady Thighs For Ladies

It's #webcomicday? We have a special day??? Well, my name is Pat McHoarney and I draw 69 Mouse-Ear Blvd, a multigenerational story about women who all have sexy legs and probably other features. There was a grandmother, but she wasn't hot and so she died off-panel.

This @bransonreese.bsky.social four panel is never completely out of my head.
Four panel comic by Brandon Reese titled Animal Crackers.  In each panel Groucho Marx is speaking.

1 - One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas 
2 - How I worked up the courage to kill a living thing I'll never know.
3 - (silent)
4 - They mourn their dead, as we do.
