Oops the seems to be some form of Aye infection going around.

So you have a sti in your aye, do you?

Main cast. Mary’s the Starscream at best.
Heck she’s not even Starscream. She’s Terrorsaur.
Reltzik
She’s the considerably-less-omnipotent Q.
Needfuldoer
Q was too essential. She’s more like Lore.
That Damn Rat
Please Starscream is more central to the cast a plot of transformers than most of the autobots. A recurring antagonist is still part of the main cast.
KingOfGreyfell
Mary’s roughly the investigator trying to pull a fast one on Nyarlathotep. Tampering with forces beyond her reckoning. Probably gonna get eaten by an angry red-headed eldritch horror.
Pecker Holder
A hypocritical bully that abuses authority is a force beyond one’s reckoning now?
Spencer
Reality warping would explain how Ruth gets away with being a violent abuser.
And nicely showed that there aren’t apparently any police officers on campus in this world. I thought maybe she was one, but a police officer wouldn’t be working the mail room.
Hence why I cannot feel bad about Amazi-girl. She’s a citizen stepping in because the police, who should be doing her job, are absent. No wonder she thought she was on her own with Toedad.
(I do want Amber to get better, of course. But I hope she can still protect people–albeit with a more level head, and less unnecessary violence/escalation.)
thejeff
Well, she did say “I can escort you outside the building or security can”. Whether “security” is actually cops or not, I don’t know, but I think it just means she was the closest thing to an authority figure on the scene. There aren’t cops stationed inside the dorms, certainly.
As for Toedad, there were cops. We even saw Amazi-Girl try to get their attention, but things were moving too fast. They were too busy responding to the reports of a shooting at the fountain, to realize that the crazy girl surfing behind a car on a skateboard was actually in pursuit of the shooter. Which is understandable.
Reltzik
Who pays? Or would they be going Dutch?
SgtWadeyWilson
If you’re still talking Walky, they split the bill since he’s still with Dorothy.
If you are more current with this thread. Mary pays, and Asma orders two lobsters… minimum.
That Damn Rat
If she takes out Mary, she’ll have to take her place as a heel though.
N0083rP00F
Why can they not both be in heels? That way they can collapse into each others arms after they twist their ankles whiles lovingly wrapping their fingers around each others …… oh wait, that’s David Carradine.
I know, it’s such a great little moment, because he’s being a total smug prick in Panel 2, like, oh, I’m so regularly receiving packages I’ve bought or been sent by rich parents that you should know me… what, you’re calling me out on that and demonstrating that I don’t at all treat the “help” with even the decency to remember their names? Oh fuck.
It’s just a great character moment and reminds me why I look forward to Asma comics.
To be fair, he probably never knew her name, although she probably would’ve seen his name on his packages. I mean on one hand, he probably could’ve asked her name at some point, but he probably just wanted a more personal interaction instead of something so business, knowing Walky’s slacker nature. I know I don’t commit half the people I know’s names to memory. There’s people I talk to on a daily basis that I couldn’t tell you what their name is.
Orion Fury
I partly think the only reason why some of us here know her name is we can see her name tag. There doesn’t appear to be one in-universe and they don’t have any overlapping social circles. IT’s like him expecting to know the name of the person that gives him McNuggets.
Ok, he probably knows their name. My point should still stand.
BenRG
I hope that, if I was in the situation of seeing the same desk clerk several times a day and having direct dealings with them often, I would have had the courtesy to at least eventually find out their name. I freely admit that I’m not always as good in this area as I should but I certainly wouldn’t expect them to know me as more than ‘hey, you’ if I hadn’t gone that extra mile.
Yotomoe
I mean Ideally yes. It’s one of those things you’d probably want to do. But it’s REAL easy to not do that for extended periods of time. Like the girl at my school’s cage who scans my ID so I can get lab passes and tablets. She’d know my name cuz she has to look at it whenever she scans my thing. But I’ve yet to ask her name or even hold a conversation with her for any length of time. That being said she’s more likely to call me by my name than by 636747
Yet_One_More_Idiot
My dad and I shop in a large Sainsbury’s supermarket that serves thousands of customers on a weekly basis. We’re also on reciprocal first name terms with both our regular checkout lady and the girl on the customer services desk. On weeks when my dad’s away running a Scout camp, they even ask me where he’s gotten to, which is nice. 🙂
In an age where such big companies are trying to reduce customers to statistics in their computers to be analysed to predict our shopping habits, it’s nice to still get on with the employees on a personal level. 🙂
I see the lady at the cafeteria who gives me hot chocolate and sandwiches all the time. She seems like a nice lady. But her purpose in my life is to give me hot chocolate and sandwiches in exchange for money. I have no particular need to use up brain juice memorizing her name when I’m so terrible with names I don’t even remember some of my classmates’ ones after a semester.
Hello hot chocolate and sandwich lady. I would like a hot chocolate and a sandwich. Thank you. Goodbye!
Actually, Walky is the opening bookend to the college scandal. After that is the enabling of that notorious urban vigilante who has made such headlines by ‘cleaning up’ inner-city Indianapolis (making the Chief of Police and DA look so incompetent in the process), drunken antics in the dormitories and associating with that redheaded woman who has become such a hate figure to the Fundamentalist end of the electorate amongst many other juicy little adventures.
The spin doctors who thought that this would destroy her ended up being major polling positives. It turns out that the electorate hate people whose lives are basically a sheet of bland grey or beige.
Dean
Nah, Becky will be her Secretary of the Interior, if you get my drift.
No, Dina. She was so overly adorable that Mike tried to mail her to Abu Dhabi. But then he realized that would cost a fortune in postage, so he figured mailing her to Walky would be bad enough.
Has anyone in a comic strip or cartoon ever held a box with a “this end up” arrow the right way? I’m beginning to think the arrows exist just so fictional characters can ignore them.

This is the first story I’ve heard/read about free porn (that’s not on the interenet) that someone didn’t find in the woods.

Asma has begun her invasion into the main cast. First she needs to take out Walky.
Mr k
Naw, I like Walky. Can she take out Mary?

All in favor say “aye.”

That was almost flirting, Walky.
Mr k
Hopefully, Dorothy won’t kill Asma for that, then.

Are you implying Dorothy won’t want a three-way? Any good president needs at least one college scandal.

I think she counts Walky as her college scandal
