    Oh please, let that Catholic school be in the DEEP SOUTH, and let them have a liberal hair policy. I would hate for Sal to lose her accent. Or her hair.

      It wouldn’t have to be that far south even. S.Indiana and S.Ohio have considerable Kentucky accents in places.

        When I went to journalism camp in high school, there was a girl there who was from the southern part of the state who had the most adorable southern accent.

        Indiana pretty much IS a southern state, in every sense except the strictly geographic.

    I like how he says “WE sent her to Catholic school”. And then he has no idea where Sal even is. *slaps forehead* Oh well, hopefully Sal will straighten Billie out with a karate chop from God on the head.

      You win. The leathers are the same, the figure is right… The only problem that Willis hasn’t dealt with is that her hair won’t fit under the helmet.

        Actually, it would. You don’t even have to pin it up or do anything to make it stay. Just pile it up, stick the helmet on quick, and it fits.

        This coming from a girl with hair longer than Sal’s.

    I don’t know why, but Walky saying “A walky talky” with that blank expression is utterly adorable.

    Never read this before, but loving this. Is it really based off a strip nearly 10 years old?

    The funny thing is, looking back on this strip now, Sal actually is in the comic. Right there in the second panel.

    It’s weird going back and reading this all again – Willis drops characters left and right, and it’s only now that I see/recognize them.

    In Walky’s world, do people do the surfer thumb-little-finger greeting to God when they take communion?

      No, that’s the “Turn your thumb and little finger into the shape of the handle of a mug and then tip it up like you are pouring the contents down your throat” sign.
      It indicates drinking.
