I know! She is a stout little bugger isn’t she? I know she’s punched a guy and a window, but she’s actively holding back Mike while wearing a cast (and touching some man chest might I add?). Go Joyce!
I don’t think he can make her go full rage mode, because she doesn’t expect anything good of him like she did of her community.
That said, her willingness to employ violence against confirmed assholes means he doesn’t have to.

And since he enjoys violence used against him, this creates a virtuous circle.
The original is ‘hard’, though now I try to be creative in my use of it. Or at least varied.

I was more worried about the inflection, I feel like I could’ve put more emphasis on loud, but you know how paraphrasing goes, especially when you don’t know the original source
Orion Fury
It did read a little soft on that part. But that just could of been the vowels at work there.
There really is. Attached to the biology building and open to the public. (Glares at Harvard.) I loved going there in winter; a few of the rooms are tall with trees, not just plants sprouting in pots.

Mike vs. Sarah, place your bets

It looks like we actually have Mike vs. Joyce back there
Doctor_Who
It looks like she’s about to suplex him.
BAH GAWD, SHE’S KILLED HIM.
butts
Walky gets his wish, Joyce gets some catharsis, Mike gets a nice six-foot hole in the ground. Everyone wins, really.
Deanatay
Except that Walky doesn’t get straight ‘A’s for the semester, The internet LIED to him.
Clif
My Sarah/Mike fantasies are being thwarted by Joyce. This is probably a good thing, but still …
Orion Fury
Mrs Warner’s baby boy been near broken in half!

And he didn’t even get his nickel!

Yet.

IT WAS ALL A PLOT
Mike gets to feel Joyce boobs on his back while being suplexed.
Slartibeast Button, BIA
Totally worth it.
Cholma
Good ol’ Mike; always willing to take one for the team! 😉
Reltzik
Sarah. Mike doesn’t do combat. Sarah does.
Also, that’s Joyce. Ima bet on Joyce. If anyone can make her go red-eyes-of-fury and be stupid enough to do so, it’s Mike.

Already in place at the top.

In a straight fight, in this universe? Sarah. Definitely. Mike’s many things, but I doubt he’s nearly as good a brawler.
Kelli
You talk to her… No, YOU talk to her…
Orion Fury
I’ll talk to her, except I don’t want to.
SgtWadeyWilson
NOT LOUD ENOUGH!
(Am I saying that right?)

Good. You have something in common. She doesn’t want to talk to you either.
Have fun.

They have it just to discourage webcomic artists. Not an airtight plan, but still.
Anvilpro
I think this is the start of Mike and Sarah’s beautiful friendship.
butts
I mean, they’re both misanthropes, but they’ve got pretty much polar opposite forms of misanthropy.
Bluewind
Agreed, but their personalities might bounce well off each other like Dina and Amber.
butts
Or they could murder each other. Who knows?
Bluewind
…Willis?
Reltzik
Has promised no character deaths, so if he is planning to have them murder each other, he’s lying to us about it.
Orion Fury
Non-canon slipshine?

Which will blossom into true love! A la Mr. And Mrs. Smith
Proxiehunter
Or Mike and Joyce’s beautiful Slipshine.
Spencer
A beautiful fiendship.
Actually fiendship sounds like a great name for Mike/Mary.
Doctor_Who
Nonono, Walky won’t get all As because his roommate died.
He will get all As because Mike died, and it will be a campus-wide day of celebration.
Foxhack
AND EVERYONE GETS A NICKEL DISCOUNT AT SOMEONE’S MOM’S PLACE!
Orion Fury
NOT ENOUGH NICKELS!

With the death of Mr. Warner, all tests for the next school year have been cancelled!
*Everyone cheers except Dorothy*

hug it out guys

Where’s the downside?
Doctor_Who
We will never discover the secret of Mike’s hair, as he will take it to the grave.
Orion Fury
I’m not even sure Willis knows it. I think I recall him trying to work it out when he was making a statue of him, for I believe a Kickstarter?
Kernanator
I don’t think even Mike knows how his hair works.
Reltzik
SHAVE IT FROM HIS CORPSE AND DONATE IT TO SCIENCE!
….
whadyamean science doesn’t want it?
Orion Fury
Watch it turn out to be an edgelord crown, cause breaking people just isn’t enough for him, he needs to break physics as well.
Deanatay
Then create your OWN science!
The Mike Warner Memorial Institute For Advanced Hair Science
or, as Mike would name it:
Hair Analysis and Technical Epistemology For Universal Care of Keratin

We can’t introduce Mike to Mary?
Bluewind
Oh yes please!
Bluewind
Now I am thinking of new combos. Mike and Carla would be fun.
butts
Pretty sure if the two were ever to touch, they’d annihilate, wiping out most of Indiana.
…on second thought, go right ahead
maxyai
I agree. Who needs Indiana?
MatthewTheLucky
Even Mike doesn’t deserve having to deal with Mary. Being so vastly out-assholed would break his soul.

With their powers combined, they are ________!

Your mom

You misspelled “Faaaaaaaaaace”.

You only get ‘A’s if your roommate commits suicide.
Bluewind
Isn’t pissing Sarah off basically committing suicide?
Idontcarenomore
No she’s seems to be violent only when her friend(s) are threatened.
She will just scowl you to death.
John
By Ankh-Morpork law, yes.
Nemirthel
Sooo… throw him out the window instead of using the bat?
