actually if she can get to a computer fast enough she can go to her settings, lock the phone and erase the data on it, she might lose her fav pics and such but it would help protect her identity.
Walky_Talky
Would she also lose all that smut……er, i mean……fanfic that she’s been writing?
Disloyal Subject
Only of she’s been thumbtyping it on that tiny widdle screen and neglecting to back it up online.
So… probably, actually. Even aside from her sporadic access to her room and computer when she’s patrolling, there’s something about a smartphone that seems to be way better for hammering out smut. Probably the implicit spontaneity and need for both hands; at a computer it’s too easy to get distracted.

You know, cell phone novels (a practice originating in Japan) are actually a thing.
I think it’s more that she, as a lesbian woman, wouldn’t want to be caught openly at a campaign rally for a candidate who is PUBLICLY against gay marriage (even if there might be personal chemistry).
NO, I MEAN, TO FORM AN OPINION ABOUT CURRENT POLITICAL AFFAIRS AND SHOW HER SUPPORT FOR A FEMALE POLITICAL ROLE MODEL EVEN IF SHE DOESN’T AGREE WITH HER POLITICS.

She wouldn’t, unless she missed out on the doughnuts. And that will be her undoing!

I guess that’s one way to cope, but this is probably one of a vanishingly tiny selection of times when “PUNCH THE FUCKER REALLY HARD” is an acceptable and productive means of venting. It would be a shame to waste it.
Amber is frantically trying to remember whether she locked her phone, or if the screen locks automatically. And is it after 30 or 60 seconds? She spent 40 minutes deciding between wallpaper images, why didn’t she even glance at the lock settings?
Nah, the ships ARE the security. She wrote software so anyone who wants to access her phone must read hundreds of pages of fanfics, and then answer questions at the end to get in.
When they get to Ryan, he’ll be a drooling mess, just babbling over and over “But WHY would Starscream fall in love with Windblade, it makes no sense! And I’m pretty sure energon is not useful as a lubricant!“

That’s the new Samsung, out of Amber’s price range. Mine too just for reference.

I apparently needed this information in my life. Thank you.
DCHorror
No sarcasm, by the way. Totally sincere, though I’m aware saying that makes it sound insincere.
Bicycle Bill
It’s the ‘kill switch’, actually. Samsung just shouldn’t have listened to the designer who suggested “Kill It with Fire”.

Somebody was obviously taking “Halt and Catch Fire” a tad too literally. 😉
Aeron
The Note 7 JUST NOW came out, jeez, you can’t expect a college student to go through phones like that.
miados
yeah wants to do good but not be associated with people around her. makes total sense.

qlx
I think she’s also not supposed to be at partisan rallies on campus, as she’s a professor and that might cause strife within the classroom
AnvilPro
Why isn’t Jessica listed in the tags? What was her role in the original comics before her debut in this universe?
Cedrick
I hope you are kidding… That’s obviously Leslie…
samae
sure? because she said her name was jessica?why would leslie say that?
miados
you mean people would do that? lie on the internet? i mean real life……. yeah….. i mean nobody would lie at a political rally right?
Dean
Guys, Jessica is obviously the name of the sign.
Fart Captor
Why would Leslie even be there to say it?! She would never go to a political rally for a republican! That’s crazy talk!

Jessica isn’t in the tags because she isn’t real.
It’s an alias for “Heddy Roe Sexual.” Who’s totally a real character.
Bicycle Bill
“That’s HEDLEY!!”
Bicycle Bill
And if I had read *ALL* the comments before posting….
trlkly
Huh. In effort to figure out the reference, I type it into Google. It came back Hetty Rose Sexual.
Yes, I know what it means, but there’s clearly some Hedley joke I’m missing.
Fart Captor
You apparently need to go watch Blazing Saddles.
Willoughby Chase
Just for your name, you have to watch it.

It’s been forever since I saw it, and I was cuddling with a cute girl at the time.

I, too, was disappointed by the missed opportunity.

Because it’s blasphemous

That’s Hedley!

OH THANK FUCKING GOD
Fart Captor
Oh hell I just noticed the complete lack of confidence in AG’s eyes in panel 5.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Gwen
Amazigirl doesn’t sound that confident that her phone actually *was* locked. Unless you were referring to something else…
David Herbert
Screenlocked, unless it hadn’t powered down in the time between Amber dropping it and him picking it up.
Someone should go check and see if he’s heading for Joyce now.
Benjy
… It’s not screen locked, is it.
S P A C I N G
Of course it is she definitely doesn’t look like she’s screaming internally

Mr. Mendo
That girl looks like Mary. Coincidence? I think not!
(((Mkvenner)))
Well they are both morally bankrupt hypocrites.
wwwhhattt
So we know she’s a hypocrite? I mean, maybe she’s fine with being terrible.
(((Mkvenner)))
She works in politics being a hypocrite is kind of job requirement.
trlkly
She does. At first I thought that maybe Mary was actually helping out the party. Then I remembered how much she hated Robin.
Like I said below, I forgot about the existence of Frieda.
Alopex
Jessica isn’t in the tags. Guess she’s just a one off character.
Idontcarenomore
She is Leslie.
Paradoxius
She pretty clearly said her name was Jessica.
Sazazezer
To be fair the continuity of the strip can be a little inconsistent, so i wouldn’t be surprised if it was both Leslie and Jessica.
I mean, we’ve got both Amazi-Girl and Sal in the same panel at the same time, and that’s obviously wrong.
trlkly
Apparently a ton of Twitter users didn’t get that you were joking.
Slartibeast Button, BIA
The Internet’s reserves of cluelessness cannot be overestimated.
Train Moblin
Amazi-Girl’s phone is screen-locked, touch-locked, breath-locked, and mind-locked, her folder labeled “Ships” Is even more secure than that
Doctor_Who
Nah, the ships ARE the security. She wrote software so anyone who wants to access her phone must read hundreds of pages of fanfics, and then answer questions at the end to get in.
