Nah, it’s a bandana. It fits her whole “rebel without a cause” mystique
wwwhhattt
Isn’t it a shawl, or are they bigger?
Inahc
Much bigger, and they generally go around shoulders.
TCS
So I looked it up because it was bugging me: A kerchief is any cloth worn on the head, and a bandanna is a large handkerchief that is often worn on the head (i.e., as a kerchief). TIL!
Willis is probably trying to be more mindful about the portrayal of Black girl hair maintenance. Hair like how Sal keeps it now, if she naturally has Afro-textured hair, needs specific upkeep. Including keeping it covered when you’re about to go to bed.
BBCC
Yeah, Sal does wear a sleep bonnet. Not as often as she should to keep her hair up though, according to the book PDFs.
My man if you go to bed with relaxed hair without putting it up in some way, prepare for war the next morning
Also it gets a very gross and dry texture afterwards
Presumably, Sal is sitting at her desk, which is under her loft. Ergo, Fuckface is in Sal’s bunk.
No idea where Malaya is. She lets Fuckface roam free even when she’s not there. Which, if you have an iguana, just don’t do that, okay? Malaya is not a shining example of pet ownership.
I don’t remember iguanas being particularly “house broken”.
Eventually, Sal’s going to run across some iguana guano – and the shit’s gonna hit the fan.
Alanari
Also iguanas are pretty specific about temperature and air humidity. As in “an average western human bedroom is too cold and too dry for an iguana to be comfortable”.
But since this is a comic, it’ll most likely work out just fine.
Needfuldoer
She has a heat lamp set up for him, presumably she just doesn’t close the lid on his tank.
But yeah, iguano everywhere.
BBCC
She also has Sal mist him regularly (as does she) but like….yeah. Iguanas carry salmonella..not infrequently. I’ll be amazed if everyone isn’t sick in short order.
Alanari
She should close it though. A heat lamp does not heat up a whole room to 30°C and he’s pretty mobile. Also, he most likely isn’t misted while being alone in a room.
BBCC
Nope – after all, who’s going to do it while Malaya and Sal aren’t home?
Needfuldoer
Fuckface lives by the MST3K Mantra, like Quincy from Foxtrot.
Needfuldoer
I’ll level with you guys, I just wanted an excuse to post “iguano”. Never pass up a good portmanteau!
“Endotherm? You seem displeased. It must be your head covering. It’s preventing me from absorbing much body heat. Remove it. Nobody can be displeased when I am absorbing their body heat.”
Well, she took one off for the pre-fight dramatic scar reveal, but then she put it back on while climbing the stairs a couple strips ago. It was definitely a one-time thing.
The scar’s a mark of shame for her, unless she starts covering it every day with that heavy foundation stuff they make for hiding tattoos, the gloves are staying in some form or another.

So Fuckface is Sal’s true father?

That both explains Linda’s behaviour and also raises even MORE questions

Why’d I think this was sarah for a brief second
Foxhack
Sarah’s been shown to use a similar cloth on her head. Whatever that thing is called. I can’t English right now.
TCS
I think the word you’re looking for is kerchief.
Agemegos
Maybe “scarf”.

It’s the headband-ponytail combo. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Sal with her hair like this.

I did too. I think it’s the bandana + hair + under her bunk.
Katherine
I thought it was Walky T_T
BrokenEye, the True False Prophet
I was certain it was Galasso
Shen Hibiki
Most said its the clothing.
I say it’s the attitude. XD
Keulen
I thought so too for a moment, because Sarah often wears a bandana (or whatever that is) on her head and looks grumpy.
Darkoneko
I kinda get why, but I didn’t think people with straightened hair would need to use one too
Zee

Oooh

Sarah also presents a rough, scaly exterior to the world, but is soft and warm up close.
OH YOU MEANT SAL
Tan
I will grant you that they have fairly similar facial expressions, but Sarah and Fuckface have completely different skin colors and head shapes.
Bon
I forget. Does this mean Malaya is in her bunk?
… Also where did sal get the bandana/out of her clothes? Does sal have sexy clothes discarding powers?
BBCC
…She’s in her bedroom. I presume she just…took off her clothes and put pjs on.
As for Malaya, I believe she’s still at roller derby and hasn’t learned a damned thing about letting the lizard free roam.
Shiro
Bold of you to assume Malaya is capable of learning from her experiences
BBCC
LET ME BELIEVE.
Marsh Maryrose

Least Fuckface won’t ask any questions…

Fuckface’s indifference to the entire situation makes him the best face to see right now
Cheesy1
“Man, your face got fucked!”
Jair
This is the first time I’ve ever considered Sal cute.
Shiro
Lizard senses unrest
BBCC
He wants to cheer her up!
“Endotherm? You seem displeased. It must be your head covering. It’s preventing me from absorbing much body heat. Remove it. Nobody can be displeased when I am absorbing their body heat.”
Shiro
Like a cat, but with scales. Including the head/shoulder riding!
BBCC
He’s just hugging her with his claws!
Doctor_Who
Fuckface is like Cappy from Super Mario Odyssey. He can’t control you if you’re already wearing a hat, so he needs to knock it off first.
BBCC
I’m sorry, I think I just haemorrhaged from how adorable Sal looks with her hair up and rocking a bandana.
If you need me, I’ll be calling an ambulance. …At midnight.
…Man, no wonder my neighbours all hate this comic.
Doctor_Who
A cacophonous SQUEE rips through the night at 12:01.
Neighbor 1: Dammit, must be a Dina strip.
Neighbor 2: I contribute to the patreon so I know in advance when to sleep with earplugs.
Neighbor 1: I subscribe to Slipshine.
Neighbor 2: Does that keep you abreast of all the ships?
Neighbor 1: Yyy…esss, that’s exactly why.
BBCC
I’d like to think my neighbours know by now that if I squee, cry or call 911, it’s a Sal strip.
Needfuldoer
You’re not wrong.
BBCC
At this point, I think my whole block hates me. 😛

I wanted to make some joke about Sal’s face being fucked up, but it kept coming out too sexual. So.
Bagge
Eh, of all the people that could pop up in the last panel, ol’ fuckface is the least annoying.
Clif
Which raises the question of which face would be most annoying.

Malaya
Do you really have to ask 🙂
Bathymetheus
Uh oh! Fuckface smells blood!
Roger
Cute outfit. Also noticing Sal’s back to wearing gloves.
Needfuldoer
