No, it means Sal heard Walky say he’d rather do better by Sal than date Amber. That’s the thing she’s okay with. There’s still time for her to voice her approval for the ship, but she hasn’t yet.
I don’t know about for good, but definitely for funny. Given the first four panels yesterday, the fifth one was inevitable. I didn’t think the situation could get more hilarious, but Sal and Willis have proved me wrong.
Haha! Sal must have been taking trolling lessons from Prothy the Prothean. Also yes very proud of Walky actually growing up and wanting to be a better brother.
And is Sal approving of this ship? Dare I unfurl the sails once more?
Even if she does, that doesn’t mean walky’s okay with dating someone who hurt her
Freemage
Eh, they were both kids, didn’t know each other, and Amber was clearly traumatized by her circumstances. Ther’s lots of issues with Garbage Scow, but this really shouldn’t be one of them, so long as Sal is fine with it.
How can you get *inside* fries? They’re like the size of a finger, more or less.
Do you have access to shrinking technology. If so, can I borrow it?

I’d expect it to be more of a Scrooge McDuck vault scenario, if you could figure out the logistics. We all know fries only last about an hour before they go all mealy and gross. How do you fill an Olympic size swimming pool with fries and keep them hot and crispy?
Darkgloomie
U fry them in place, then drain the oil?
HeySo
It’d take too long to drain the oil, especially given that you can’t use any larger drainage that would allow for the fries to pass through it.
Needfuldoer
Temperature control is key. If the oil’s too hot, or the fries spend too long in it, they’ll get burnt and dry. If the oil isn’t hot enough, or too many fries get added too quickly (lowering the temperature of the oil faster than the burners can bring it back up), they’ll come out soggy. We need either lots of fryers, or a few huge ones.
This is sounding more and more like an xkcd What If question…
HeySo
So we’re surrounding a pool with rows and rows of friers and fry cooks?
Rich people parties really are different.
HeySo
Or in the case of McDonald’s fries, they turn rubbery and hard.
Well, do they have to be standard fries? Steak Fries are pretty great, and they last a heck of a lot longer, what with their insides being actual potato rather than just trace elements of potato caught within an oil filling. 😛
Of course, if we’re going that route, we could go all the way and just stock up on potato wedges, instead. Mmm, potato wedges.
Clif
Regardless, fries always taste better from someone else’s swimming pool. The rule usually works for plates, but applies to all conceivable fry containers.
HeySo
Yes, because we can find so many people who have swimming pools filled with french fries. :’P
..I hope we can find someone with a side pool filled with vanilla shake, for dipping..
As I’ve seen it, it’s more common to get trolled/sabotaged by younger siblings, while it’s more common to be mercilessly teased by older ones. I think you’re in the right dynamic for this comic, though mayhap your sister is a bit less stressful than most siblings in such a regard. 😛
Also, I know you guys mostly like tumblr, but y’all need to make Reddit accounts if not just to subscribe to r/dumbingofage and continue the drama if this source of drama ends in the future
Well right now the subreddit is basically dead, but if you all joined you could change the atmosphere to basically what we have here. The social atmosphere of a subreddit is made by the people who subscribe to it.
One of the key reasons we have what we have here is Willis’ careful and constant moderation. The subreddit, as far as I know, lacks that. I honestly feel more comfortable here.
Also, I feel like I must clarify that I’m not trying to slight or look down on those that do frequent the subreddit since I don’t know them; all I’m trying to say that this comments section here is what personally works for me.

Sal has learned Trolling!
It’s super effective!
Solenoid
WALKY has fainted!
Needfuldoer
She has baseline Walkerton Snark, enhanced by the subtlety needed for years of boarding school shenanigans.
AnvilPro
Lol, just a boy and his annoying sister walking in on him with his girlfriend. Just like any other
Yet_One_More_Idiot
So does that mean Sal is okay with Amber and Walky being a thing now? ‘Cos that would be cool. 😀
What should I call this ship? Amky? Walber?
…yeah, I kinda like Walber. It’s adorkable sounding, just like both of them. 😛
Sunny
I think “Wamby” sounds nice as well.
Darth
Wamber Bamber thank you Mamber

“Ambler”
It only uses one letter from Walky’s name, but makes up for it by being a synonym.

Although in fairness, she also hasn’t said she’s against Amber and Walky being a couple.

At the very least, Sal is amused.
Gvtprtsgvnit
Don’t you mean… Saal?
LeslieBean4Shizzle
It SEEMS like it? Maybe?
Anyway, I never put the sails away. Garbage Scow is still my preferred ship for both characters involved in it.
cbwroses
Same.
erejnion
I’d even say she revealed herself only because the kiss was going to be on the cheek. She’ll now try to get them to shag.
ValdVin
Are panel one Amber’s lips still pursed? If so, it’s hilarious.
Doctor_Who
She couldn’t get out of kiss mode fast enough.
Shiro
There’s a Transformers joke in there but I don’t know enough of the lingo to find it
wwwhhattt
I love how Amber’s trying to wipe the kiss off her face in the 3rd panel
ValdVin
Yep, as if it were lipstick (to mention the old movie cliche).
Shiro
Yay! We avoided a dramatic misunderstanding and began repairing the relationships between all parties involved in a healthy and adult matter!
uhhh
Am I in the right comment section? Clearly this is Smarting of Age
Pablo360
Don’t worry, it’ll be smarting in the other sense soon enough
LeslieBean4Shizzle
… yes? It kinda seems like Sal is about to give Garbage Scow her blessing.

Feelings aren’t always rational though.
Keulen
It’ll go back to Dumbing eventually, I’m sure.
Wizard
Yeah, this is going as well as I could possibly have imagined. So clearly I woke up in some bizarro alternate dimension.
But as long as I’m here, I have to say I am totally loving Sal here.
Yet_One_More_Idiot
I never thought I’d live to see the day I’d say this, but—
BLESS YOU, WILLIS!

That last panel smirk really Sals it.

I promise to only get into my own fries, Willis.
They’re chicken fries.
No you can’t have some
Rafe
🙁

You have fries? Let me get inside them!
Don’t judge me.

Suddenly “ketchup stuffed fries” takes on a sinister twist…

–When I look into your eyes
Is that love I see, or just another pack of French fries?–a parody of “I Can’t Wait” titled “I Gain Weight”
BBCC
And people wonder why Sal is my favourite when here she is being SUPER ADORABLE and probably relatable to Walky with the hijinks. 😛
Seriously though, this is literally every sibling I’ve ever met, hanging around until they think doing the thing is funniest.
Deathjavu
I mean, what is even the point of knowing/putting up with someone your entire life if you can’t occasionally use it for hilarious pranks?
Rosicrucian
Now Marcie needs to walk in for the double-troll.
Stephen Bierce
Then Carla for the triple-troll.
Then Malaya for the quad.
Chris Phoenix
We also need Danny and Dotty (but in what order?) And then Lucy.
And then Mike.
BenRG
MALAYA: “Sal invited us up here! She even gave us soda and popcorn!”
Roger
well at least thats one dumb plotline averted. I dont know how many i could take.
Sal has a good sense of humor. Love her smug face.
Clif
But now it’s mandatory that Amber and Walky put their heads together to find someone to set Sal up with. Whether she wants them to or not.
Roger
Wow what a nightmare
Mihalri
I love Sal so much
Danielle
LMAO
Lokitsu
Panel one Amber is the best expression ever.

Classic Sal.

I never had an older sister. My sister is the baby, I’m the oldest. So while I’ve heard of this scenario it’s not familiar.
