She’s a ninja, it’s part of the training that we get super strength without having bulging muscles, essentially just denser muscles so we can still keep up our speed.
Maybe she has started to use American spelling and words after being in the country for a fair while, after all even Arnold Schwarzenegger HAS to work with a speech coach so he can KEEP his accent, otherwise he would just sound like a typical Hollywood American.
I always wondered how he kept the accent after so many years. I always figured that at some point he just started doing the same Ahnold impression that everyone else does, and we never noticed the difference.
I know British folk who have lived in the US for years who sound exactly like Americans, and ones who have lived in the US for years whom Americans think sound British (though British think they sound Australian). Personality quirks, I think, have something to do with how much on assimilates an accent. I say this having had linguists “diagnose” my own accent as a mishmash of everything I’ve ever herad.

My late grandmother kept her German accent all her life, even though she came to Israel in a rather young age.
That accent is fake. The speech coach is so he doesn’t forget his public persona. In private he speaks more like this: “I say, I shall return. Good day, ol’ chap.” He’s not Austrian at all! 😀

DaJoshMaster, your comment is much more amusing when read in Penny’s voice. (The Penny in your avatar, that is, not the one in the strip.)

Her tattoos give her super strength.
NCP19
I’m glad someone said it. Also her voice probably doesn’t hurt either.
Zeptometer
Her voice gives her super strength.
(Anyone?)
Sir Robin
Sal sounds like Applejack
Doctor_Who
Yes. I cannot hear any voice when she speaks except for Ashleigh Ball.

Hitler.
Plasma Mongoose
Hitler, Adolf Hitler…
DudeMyDadOwnsADealership
Applejack has a much bigger vocabulary and, I think, speaks at a faster rate. I think Rogue from X-men Evolution is closer.
Plasma Mongoose
If Sal sounds anything like YGO Abridged’s Tristan, she might end up staying a virgin for a very long time.

Bill M.
So… she’s a runelord?

Just had to comment on this just to say +1 Good Sir.

Bellflower Tattoo. I didn’t think she was Lawful enough to qualify for that prestige class, though.
DaJoshMaster
Okay Jason, I’m jelly.
Plasma Mongoose

Sal’s power comes from tattoos? She must be one of the Rakyat from Far Cry 3!
…Ma, those pirates wouldn’t stand a chance against a pissed off Sal.
Kernanator
Or the Nameless One.
Aizat
Or a ghost.
AckAckAck
Uh…. actually Rakyat means Civilians.
Those people who made FC3 love to throw ambiguous foreign words to make it sounds cooler.
Wonder Wig
Tattoos are like equip magic cards. They boost the targets original power.
DaJoshMaster
You can channel some mana to move them onto other creatures?
They die to artifact removal?
Tattos just got so much cooler.
AckAckAck
So what’s the tramp stamp tattoos power?
Plasma Mongoose
Tattoos which magically give you a +6 bonus to your STR stat.
Aizat
That would be the Fighter’s Tattoo.
GrrArg42
I know I shouldn’t have gotten this Banjo tattoo.
… wait what am I saying? Of course I should. I’ma going to get a matching one. They can be friends!
Aizat
Let me see, Banjo Tattoo gives you +5 on any musical based attacks.
Ancestral Hamster
Get a Banthulhlu tattoo!
“That is not Dead that can Eternal lie,
And over Strange Aeons even Death may die.”
Aizat
Or the Dragon Tattoo. +5 on all stats plus a 50% to all elemental magic.
AckAckAck
But becareful, a wrong design and it will raise your douche meter to +5!

WHY HASN’T TORMENT GOTTEN AN HD REMIX YET
Animaniac
because they are working on the sequel instead?

If Penny’s actually meant to be English (or, hell, from ANYWHERE in the British Isles), she would say “maths”, not “math”.
DaJoshMaster
Yeah, that’s really bugging me too. 😛

His voice is pretty much his trademark, so it is in his best interest to keep it.

And noone wants that.

That doesn’t make sense…accents are not that easy to lose.
jnzooger
I actually called this a few comic back infact. I knew someone would say it wrong eventually.
Mkvenner
Its the bowtie.
Plasma Mongoose
It spins around and makes anyone looking at it get all sleepy.
Yotomoe
Hypnotizes them into thinking it was a great night of sex and debauchery when really we just watched Monty Python in our underwear.
Plasma Mongoose
Are you suggesting that Monty Python < sex and debauchery?
