    cue Sal taking one of those XL Sharpies to the jacket arms in 3… 2…

    1. Someguy

      “Annnnnnnnd it’s gone!”

      1. Doctor_Who

        Maybe she’ll just change it from “Rutten” to “Butter”.

        Everyone likes butter, no one would question someone wearing a butter jacket.

        1. Kyrik Michalowski

          Especially not here in the South, we use that crap in basically everything we cook. Which may explain the morbid obesity funnily enough.

        2. Some1

          The sugar tea probably doesn’t help either.

        3. Doctor_Who

          It’s not proper sweet tea if the spoon doesn’t stay upright when you let go.

        4. desolation0

          Drop one more crystal in and you have tea flavored rock candy.

        5. Annonymouse

          Sadly more times than not, that won’t happen due to predominant use of corn sugars.

          Blech

        6. thejeff

          I now want tea flavored rock candy. I may need to do this. 🙂

        7. motorfirebox

          Hey. HEY! We do not always use butter.

          Sometimes we use bacon grease.

        8. Ryek Hvek

          ….or even lard

        9. butts

        10. Deanatay

          Somehow, I knew you’d approve that change.

        11. Michael

          I’m not really sure how that n could be changed to an r with a sharpie.

        12. Reltzik

          Use red sharpie and white-out.

        13. Geneseepaws

          Or,… Use a knife. Doesn’t everyone carry a two inch pen knife?

        14. Needfuldoer

          Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife.

          But it’s a capital N.

  2. Nono

    Carla’s nice and all but she needs to get out of here so we can have this genuine moment.

    1. Delivery Mcgee

      IDK, it might be better that she PREVENTS this moment. Shit was about to get weird. (In other news, I love how Carla just towers over all the other women and most of the men. Between that and the “silently rolling up on people” ability, I’d wear skates all the time too if I could get away with it.)

      1. DailyBrad

        Yeah, even with the skates taken into account, she’s gotta be pretty tall. I think Duncan may still be tallest, but Carla I think is definitely up there even in regular shoes. I forget who is taller, Sarah or Carla, but one of them’s probably tallest girl.

        1. Regalli

          Duncan the jerky Shortpacked customer’s actually appeared here? When?

        2. Marsh Maryrose

          One appearance only, not particularly memorable.

          He was tagged, unlike a certain cricket, er, piece of lettuce.

        3. Needfuldoer

          His name is Tag and nobody’s convincing me otherwise.

        4. King Daniel

          Rachel’s pretty tall too; her last appearance together with a similarly tall person – Joe – put them at practically almost the same height.

        5. BBCC

          Carla’s six feet.

        6. Foxhack

          Anyone know what Carla’s height (in her humanoid body) was in Shortpacked?

      2. Tan

        Re: “it might be better”

        Disagree vehemently. Yes, the conversation was going to be (will be?) awkward, because it has to be, but Sal knowing is An Immensely Good Thing(tm) for Sal, for Ethan, and for Amber, and it is far better that Ethan explain it than Amber/AmaziGirl attempt to.

        1. thejeff

          Though hopefully Ethan won’t tell her about Amber because that’ll be worse if Amber doesn’t know Sal knows. And certainly doesn’t tell her about Amber/Amazi-Girl.

    2. Doctor_Who

      Couldn’t resist.

    3. Stu

      Well, she DID fuck that moment.

    4. Amazi-Stool

      Carla’s nice and all but she needs to get out of here so we can have this genuine moment.

      There must be some kind of way outta here
      Said the Nono to the Sal
      There’s too much confusion
      I can’t get no relief

    Who had CarlaXMoment in the prediction pool for next major ship?

    I was way off, my guess was MaryXGalassosChefToque.

    1. SpaceshipPilot

      You mean, this moment?

  5. Yotomoe

    People fuck, but I’d definitely blow this moment.

    1. butts

      moments blow, but i’d definitely fuck these people

      1. LeslieBean4Shizzle

        That’s my motto.

    2. Dean

      Carla has already fucked this moment.

  6. Someguy

    Oh boy, here it comes, time for the revelatio-DAMMIT CARLA!

  7. jeffepp

    “And the moment is gone”

  8. Rex Vivat

    So, who wants to bet that Ethan just gave her enough data for her to know what he’s talking about without him having to finish the sentence?

    1. Bathymetheus

      That would require her to care enough to make the effort to figure it out.

      I’d say the odds are poor.

      1. abysswatcher1993

        Sal isn’t an intellectual that connects dosts. She just punches and has a cynical world view, like Guts form Berserk.

        1. Amazi-Stool

          In english there is always a chance that your accidental mistyping forms a real word. Well, I looked it up:

          “Dost” is not english. but in my langugage it’s a rather obscure form of “oregano”.

          Yeah right, Sal doesn’t connect (collect?) oregano.

        2. TheBenenator

          Thou dost not truly believe that?! http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dost 😀

  9. Defensor

    Why does Sal call Ethan “apples to apples”? Is it some slang I’m not familiar with?

    1. BBCC

      They met while playing Apples to Apples at Joyce’s dorm party.

      1. Someguy

        my Reply being below bbcc’s makes me look dumber than I really am

        1. BBCC

          Nah, it happens. People post at the same time. We call it getting ninja’d.

        2. Bagge

          In general, me and BBCC commenting on the same post makes me look just as dumb as I am, which is rarely flattering.

    2. Someguy

      I thought it was like… uh, balls to balls? Fuck it, I don’t know either.

    3. RicardtheDragoon

      He was at the party Joyce hosted playing Apples-to-Apples. Someone else can find the link.

        Ta-da! http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/03-the-butterflies-fly-away/tall/

        1. Bagge

          Let’s not forget about how Sal lost her virginity – or the face Joyce made upon finding out.

          vhttp://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/03-the-butterflies-fly-away/applestoapples/

    4. Deanatay

      Sal rarely calls anyone by their real names (Malaya and Marcie being notable exceptions). Sal just realized here that she didn’t have a handy nickname for Ethan, so she dug one out of their most memorable interaction, for her.

      1. Larkle

        I was thinking that it was because Sal often can’t remember people’s names, so she uses a nickname instead.

  10. butts

    FUCK YOUR DRAMA iiiiiit’s CARLA

        It’s FUCKFACE come to MAGICALLY MINDCONTROL your CARLA (when sitting on Joyce’s head)!

        1. Amazi-Stool

          Not sure what went wrong. Heres the link.

    2. Emily

      Fuck your actual interesting plot development it’s Carla and a stupid joke that’s only gotten more annoying since the first time.

  11. Stephen Bierce

    Today’s strip is sponsored by the Honda Fourtrax. Ride Red.

  12. Nikolai Geier

    I want the next Slipshine to just be Carla doing a joyous dance through this moment.

    1. butts

      Carla solo could work

      1. King Daniel

        Now you’ve got me imagining Carla dancing in a Han Solo outfit.

        1. Roborat

          Doing the Snoopy dance.

  13. ShinyNeen

    Well it was basically guaranteed that they would be interrupted at least once.

  14. Yumi

    Never thought I’d say this, but NOT NOW, CARLA.

  15. cbwroses

    Carla, this moment is not about your parent’s company’s jacket.
    This is about Ethan dealing with some teenage trauma he had.
    Quit (for lack of a better phrase) cock blocking his trauma!
    (Trauma blocking?)

  16. Beef

    Is this the first in comic reference to Carla being Ace?

    Also I’m wondering if Sal recognized Ethan and Amber and is choosing to not say anything just in case they forgot and she doesn’t want to remind them.

    1. Kyrik Michalowski

      I get the feeling she doesn’t really remember them, she had(has had) other things on her mind. But I could be wrong.

    2. King Daniel

      It’s come up before – when the whole situation with Ruth’s depression finally came to a head, Carla was telling Billie to “get in [Ruth’s room] and do gross things to your girlfriend!”

      http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/04-it-all-returns/grossthings/

      1. jeffepp

        She keeps offering to do gross things to Malaya. So, that doesn’t mean much.

        1. King Daniel

          Carla’s ace, so pretty sure I’m going to need a citation on that – a quick search through their combined tags doesn’t reveal anything.

          (And remember, potential romantic attraction =/= asexuality.)

        2. BBCC

          We also know she’s still sex repulsed (at least with people) – it’s why Willis said she wasn’t going to be in slipshines. He also said he wasn’t going to do her posing sexily, masturbating, etc. because, again, that’s how her repulsion worked.

        3. thejeff

          Probably a reference to this sequence, but that’s more Carla wanting Malaya to be mean to her, than actually offering gross things.
          And I’ve still got no idea what that was really all about.

        4. King Daniel

          My guess is probably a reference to how Ultra-Car and Malaya were an item in the other ‘verse – note how Carla lost interest later in the chapter once Malaya propositioned Joe.

        5. thejeff

          It was just weird and apparently out of character for Carla. It came out of nowhere. Carla was essentially pleading for abuse. And then it stopped.
          I’m sure it was set up for something that hasn’t yet paid off, but I’ve no idea what.

        6. autogatos

          Carla is basically asexual but Malaya-romantic and is into Malaya’s meanness. It’s not an uncommon attraction. It’s why the “girls like bad boys” stereotype exists. Some people find themselves attracted to snark (whether it’s healthy or not).

        7. thejeff

          I guess. But as I said, it came out of nowhere, with no previous hints I’d seen and seemed to have vanish just as quickly.
          And while the “girls like bad boys” thing exists, it’s rarely as blatant as publicly begging for it to be directed at them. Without a relationship even having started.

    3. Regalli

      Handful of references, most of them oblique, yeah.

  17. BBCC

    I am torn between angry yelling because Carla interrupted and laughing because she’s a delight and is still on about Sal wearing a shirt with her name on it (albeit in kinda an ass-y way since Sal’s already said it made her self conscious).

    And I am SO PROUD OF ETHAN <3333

    1. lilyliv

      I second the entirety of this comment. 🙂

    2. Regalli

      Like. Carla. You blew the mood. We were SO CLOSE!

      But yes. So proud of Ethan. He’s trying so hard.

    3. ShinyNeen

      You’re just going to have to process all the emotions at once, like the rest of us : P

      (But ditto emphasis on the Ethan-pride!)

    4. chris73

      t seems to me that Ethan has started to “improve”, be less wishy-washy and be a bit more decisive ever since he had sexy times with Mike.

      I’m glad he’s improving I’d just have preferred it if the sexy times was with someone other than Mike.

    5. Emily

      There’s nothing about Carla’s behaviour here that’s delightful. She’s just forcefully interjected herself into a private conversation literally just to harp on about something that Sal has already told her she is uncomfortable with. What part of her blatant disregard for others is cute?

      1. BBCC

        Her expressions mostly But you’re right, this is also definitely jackass-y.

  18. Goki

    Welp, this was pointless….

  19. Rabid Rabbit

    Carla.

    Stop. Touching.

    Seriously, we just went through a month of trying to teach that lesson to that fucking bird in Wilde Life, we don’t have the energy to start all over here.

    1. Darkoneko

      heh.

    2. Miri

      Nah, it’s fine. We just need to learn from our earlier success: summon the spiders!

      1. Rabid Rabbit

        Blowjob spider?

        (Yes, there is of course a relevant Oglaf. No, I can’t be bothered to find it.)

        1. Delicious Taffy

          I’m angry that I know the exact strip you’re talking about.

        2. Rabid Rabbit

          I’m pretty sure it’s one of the most unforgettable ones. Whether you want it or not.

      2. Khyrin

        A red wolf runs through the quad, chased by an enthusiastic brunette. In the distance, a bear roars.

        1. Roborat

          Hey, I am part of the hip crowd, I got that reference.

  20. Agemegos

    I dunno which sucks worse. Self-centred jackasses who roll in to other people’s conversations and talk about themselves right over the top of what anyone else was saying. People people who talk loudly about personal stuff in public places. People blow.

  21. abysswatcher1993

    FUCK OFF CARLA! We were close to the awkward revelation moment and you blew it over! You blew it worse than Fin the Human in 2013. YOU BLEW IT!!!!!

  22. Darkoneko

    Stop Carla-ing it up !

  23. MatsuoTanuki

    MOTHERFU– *cuts to color bars and unconnected signal tone*

  24. Bagge

    Re: Alt text. I think she’s just bad at remembering names.

    1. 3oranges

      Can you be bad at remembering names but great at remembering nicknames? I know, that’s the premise of that trick to remember names by relating to them to something about the person, but I thought if you were really bad at it that didn’t work.

      1. Bagge

        It’s different for different people. In this case “Apple-to-apples” refers to the specific situation where they met, so I think Sal would have an easy time remembering that one. She doesn’t have to connect the nickname with an association – the nickname IS the association (just look at some of the things she has called Joyce)

        I have no idea why she would associate Danny with ‘Wonderbread’, though.

        1. Khyrin

          Wonderbread is the whitest bread I can think of…
          It’s also frequently used as a synonym for milquetoast.

        2. Rabid Rabbit

          Not just whitest — it’s also flavorless and easily malleable. There’s nothing there. It epitomizes blandness. It’s inoffensive to basically everyone, except people who care about bread. Nobody begs for it, but almost no one actively hates it. Those who do hate it, however, hate it with a passion.

          I would argue, in fact, that it’s Sal’s most accurate nicknaming.

      2. Felgraf

        I would say yes?
        While I don’t nickname people, I can VERY EASILY remember a lot about a person, including a detailed history of the first time we met, etc-
        But when I try to call up their actual *name*, my brain blanks on the issue.
        If instead I created a nick-name based on the circumstances of our meeting, Is suspect I’d have a much, much easier time remembering that.

    2. thejeff

      I’m not so sure. She seems to use them over much for that, even when she should have eventually picked up a name.
      It’s also an interesting parallel with Walky – who we’ve seen make up names for Jason and Amber, despite knowing full well what Amber’s name was at least.

      A distancing mechanism, maybe?

      1. BBCC

        Maybe she just likes nicknaming people, at least at first? Most of the time when she uses nicknames, she’s either not known the person well or, in the case of calling Joyce ‘Pollyanna’ a little bit ago, because she was mad at them and being snarky.

      2. Bagge

        Sal, distancing herself from people? I never! *faints*

  25. Keulen

    Dammit Carla, I wanted to see how awkward this would get and you went and ruined the moment!

  26. Keulen

    Sal’s superhero name should be The Nicknamer.

  27. 0kami

    “CARLAAAAAAAA!

    What’s your sole purpose in this storyline?!?”

    “To ruin a perfectly good moment of character development and dramatic tension!”

    “Dammit, Carla… You’re a goddamn genius! That is the most outstanding answer I’ve ever heard! You must have a goddamn IQ of 160!”

    1. SillyGoose

      It’s over 9000!

  28. Catman

    So Sal’s face in panel 5 looks a lot more like “oh shit that thing I did.” rather than “oh shit that jacket I’m wearing.”

    Maybe.

    1. Reltzik

      I read that as “wait what’s happening now?”

  29. Marsh Maryrose

    Well, it’s not the worst superpower ever, but is “having nicknames ready to go for everyone” the lamest superpower ever?

    I’m trying to remember the nicknames she bestowed, but this is one of those searches for which tags aren’t particularly effective. These are what I’ve been able to recall/find:

    Danny: Wonderbread
    Joyce: Blue Eyes
    Jason: Bow Tie

    Others?

    1. BBCC

      Dorothy – Lisa Simpson
      Joyce – Pollyanna

      1. Nono

        Does ‘Bro’ count? It was her first…

    2. Wraithy2773

      She’s certainly no Varric…

    3. Amazi-Stool

      I knew there would be a nickname for Jason, but here’s what I found:
      peewee herman
      bowtie
      scrawny
      scrawns
      the stick
      stick-assed motherf–

  30. Fart Captor

    Carla is the most glorious jerkass and I love her expression in the last panel

  31. Reltzik

    Dammit Carla.

  32. Lingo

    She definitely fucked the moment, that’s for sure.

  33. chris73

    I know its not on purpose but it could be mistaken as domineering position what Carlas doing right now, both hands on shoulders and leaning in to someones personal space

    Reminds me a bit of this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Dbcwe.jpg

  34. Bagge

    And for the rest of the day, Carla fluttered around Sal like a lovesick and very annoying puppy.

  35. JessWitt

    Carla, your presence is always welcome with this exception.

    Ethan, persist with your moment.

  36. BenRG

    So, it’s confirmed that Sal doesn’t know who Ethan (and, or so we must assume) Amber are.

    Carla, I love you girl but your timing stinks. We can deal with your self-esteem issues late. Right now get lost, Ethan and Sal are having a life-critical moment here.

  37. Ainara

    Aw, I like Sal’s faces in panels 1 and 3

  38. CJ

    I’d say third panel Sal has a “wait, where does this go?” moment with more than a touch of “shit” in it.
    That said, Ethan, wow.
    Carla, get your ass out of there.

    But, this being DOA, probably Ethan will slink off leaving Sal with a vaguely disturbing idea that someone is around who recognizes her from one of her robberies.
    Though, don’t we always hear Sal robbed supermarkets and from what I alsways thought and Ethan confirms here: Ethan and Amber were involved with a robbery in a gas station?

    1. Ainara

      Sorry if I’m misreading what you said, but Ethan and Amber WERE involved in Sal’s (attempted) robbery of a gas station. We got the whole flashback eventually.

      1. CJ

        The point is, we saw lots of flashbacks about Ethan and Amber involved in a robbery at a gas station. It looked like one an Ethan’s words here say so, too.

        But from the Sal side of the equation, we only heard of the robbery of, thanks for the correction thejeff, convenience stores.

        A gas station is no convenience store in my understanding. I’m not a native speaker, though, so can they be two different words for the same thing?

        1. Elisto

          Gas stations often have a convenience store attached.

        2. Mehri

          Some (but not all) gas stations have convenience stores attached. So it IS a gas station but if you’re not getting gas and you just want to go in the store, you might refer it as a convenience store. (For example, before I stated driving, I’d often walk up to a local gas station to buy candy or something and just called it a store.

          Because Amber’s dad had stopped there to get gas, that’s probably why Ethan thinks of it as a gas station. (And in Sal’s case she may have robbed normal convenience stores and at least one attached to a gas station. So “convenience store” describes both)

          From an English language standpoint, just call it a gas station regardless of whether or not it has a store attached and you’ll be correct. 🙂 hope this helps and didn’t end up being too much information

        3. CJ

          Ah, ok, so it isn’t the big clue that the stories don’t match.
          Thanks:-)

    2. thejeff

      I think it’s normally been referred to as a convenience store. At least from the Walkerton side.
      I don’t remember supermarket.

  39. Wraithy2773

    Ugh, I really hope this doesn’t turn into one of those “Psych! You thought you were getting character and plot development, but instead we’re delaying that for some wacky hijinks!” bits.

    Because, honestly, I don’t know how much more can be gained by having Sal remain oblivious to Amber and Ethan. It’s a good time for her to learn about it, and maintaining the status quo only really serves one point: Making it Amber who tells Sal instead of Ethan.

    And sure, women having agency in critical info about their stories, I’m normally all for that. But Amber’s had that opportunity like fifty times by now, she’s avoided it every time. I think it’s fine for someone else to broach the subject.

    1. Nono

      Same? This Sal thing’s been dragged out too long. At least the ‘Danny thinks Sal is Amazi-Girl!’ was mercifully brief in comparison.

      Also, I’m finding Carla really annoying lately, and she’s doing herself no favours right now.

      1. abysswatcher1993

        I agree! Carla has become as annoying as Bloo from Foster’s Home for Imnaginbary Friends. She is selfish, narcisistic and is aware she is a jerk and continues to be.

  40. GUIGUI

    Willis, I swear if you are weaselling out of that conversation, I will make a point to locate and obliterate your Hot Rod shrine. There will be no survivor.

  41. Lone Duck

    Obviously, we’re being set up for a twist that it was Carla, with a wig, colored contacts, and blackface, who robbed that gas station so many years ago. Everything else was coincidence and misdirection.

    1. Clif

      I like your universe. Let’s burn it to the ground.

  42. SpaceshipPilot

    Carla, we all love you, but please stop.

    1. Phil

      No, we don’t all love her.

    This is why I don’t like Carla. There’s a line between having a healthy sense of self worth and being an insufferably arrogant douchebag and she’s about 17 miles on the wrong side of it and whether or not it’s a facade is kinda irrelevant because it’s goddamn annoying either way.

    1. JBento

      My issue here isn’t where (or how distant) she is from the line, it’s how she’s clearly interrupting someone’s conversation to make it about a completely different topic. 8/

      When people treat you like you’re not even a person sometimes you react by forcing people to acknowledge you. It makes you annoying but that’s part of the point.

      1. HMH

        I’ve actually known someone with the exact complex Carla has. It’s an exceedingly accurate character.

        1. Schpoonman

          Realism and accuracy can only make up for a story-derailing nightmare so many times.

          For the most part I like Carla. But when she’s this invasive with people who already give her respect and dignity (Seriously? She followed Sal downstairs?), we’ve got a fucking problem.

        Is this about Carla trying to get attention because of transphobia? Well, her attempts are empty because nobody likes annoying people that make every issue about themselves.

        1. thejeff

          This is Carla’s jerk persona. Laid on so people will hate for being an asshole, instead of risking that they’ll hate her for being trans.
          She’s actually not very good at being an asshole, as we’ve seen many times, but it apparently works on some readers.

        2. JBento

          Part of the issue now is that she’s not JUST being her usual self, which is the opportunist jerk, in which she’s there and she jerks.

          She’s actively chased Sal down to do this. That’s not being a jerk, it’s being a harasser.

        3. timemonkey

          She thinks she’s messing around with one of her friends. She has no idea something serious was going to go down.

        4. thejeff

          That’s likely it.

        5. HMH

          This is something I constantly fail to grasp with a large subset of the readership who post comments here. How is it so difficult to understand that our omniscient awareness and knowledge of what’s going on doesn’t extend to the characters?

        6. Zee

          Barging in on a private conversation, and chasing sal down because of the stupid jacket, is rude as hell

        7. Emily

          The difference between a jerk persona and just being a jerk is largely meaningless to the people who have to deal with you.

        8. thejeff

          That’s a problem with that approach.

          Though we have seen the jerk facade fall away and seen her care for and help others, which is where the difference really lives.

        9. HMH

          Generally, transphobia isn’t the ONLY reason somebody is like this. It’s sort of a feedback loop where you’re treated in dehumanizing or exclusionary ways constantly, for various reasons, over the course of your life, and it leads you to – as timemonkey put it – “[force] people to acknowledge you.” It’s an understandable personality quirk psychologically, but of course, it can also easily have the effect of making you even more off-putting, even intentionally so, which can at times exacerbate that mistreatment or isolation.

    Speaking of fucking, this drama really got cock blocked.

    1. JBento

      You, uh, might want to use a different idiom in this particular instance.

    DAMN IT Carla!!

  46. Zee

    FUCK OFF CARLA

    1. Zee

      I really want sal to dump the jacket in the trash and walk off with Ethan. Or for Ethan to stand up to Carla and try make her leave

  47. Tunasammich

    I was just about to comment “hahaha I love Carla, she’s the best 5eva” and then scrolled up to see all the haterade

    🙁

    Ah well, even if they have no one else, I will always love Carla and Sarah the most

    1. alice

      it’s ok, i love carla too!

    2. thejeff

      I like Carla. She’d probably annoy me in real life, but here we’ve seen through the facade enough for me to get past the minor annoyances.
      Some people definitely overreact though.

      1. Inahc

        Same.

    3. PigeonPollyx

      Most people in general love Carla? She’s great. This is just one of those moments where, yknow, no one wants the gadfly to do her thing because she’s interrupting something really necessary and that sucks. Don’t read like haterade to me

  48. Inahc

    I did it, I reread all of shortpacked! 🙂

    …

    the soggies aren’t quite so funny any more. :/

    1. JBento

      Rulers seldom are.

  49. Kazumi

    *reads alt-text* Except Carla apparently.

  50. Gojira

    Which which genitals does she fantasize fucking this moment with?

    1. thejeff

      Don’t.

      1. stoodmuffin

        Agreed. Do not.

  51. Tgape

    Obviously I fail at the Internet, as I thought the easiest defacing of the jacket Sal could do would be to change “Rutten” to “Rotten”, and yet nobody seems to have posted it yet. Obviously, I just haven’t refreshed my browser enough.

  52. stoodmuffin

    Oh. Kay. This is going as about as well I should’ve thought it would. But, More Carla. So. Good. <3

  53. Thomas

    Aww, Ethan, five years is not a long time ago! No wonder this is all still very raw with y’all. Makes me wonder if Sal will start falling apart, too.
