If the bangs are the source of his power, I’m coming in at about 1.5 Mikes right now
Reltzik
The bangs aren’t the source of his power, but they are associated with the source of his power. The actual source of his power are all the nickles for those ba- *vaudeville hook*
Clif
But the real source was all the moms who provided both the nickels and the bangs.
King Daniel
Who knew that Jason was secretly powered by woodpeckers all along
Merbrat
Its the bowtie.
It is also a trick one, that spins, to facilitate blowing ciggy smoke back into rude customer’s face.
Wizard
You’ll know you’re at full Mike when your bangs can defy gravity.
Despite the road bumps he’s had a fairly uneventful school life. With so many characters and him not showing any particular problems it’s not unlikely he fell by the wayside. I mean, Daisy is here so it’s already kind of a “side character” chapter.
Huh. Is Ruth going to hit it off with Jason while Daisy’s in the bathroom? Is that where this thing is going?
I mean I hope not for Daisy’s sake but I can kind of see it happening.
Thag Simmons
This was not intended as a reply. Whoops.
Be nice if there were edit/delete functions.
Sirksome
Ruth is kind of insulting him in the last panel. Not really a great start to them hitting it off. Plus I don’t think Jason’s really her type personality wise, but I assume he has an accent so maybe Ruth would be into that.
Amias
You’d think an insult would be a bad start to a relationship, but look at how Ruth and Billie hit it off. With literal hitting.
Clif
Ruth became interested in Daisy only after there was yelling.
Needfuldoer
They just make small talk, but Daisy thinks they’re hitting it off. Confusion and drama ensue.
I mean he’s having some better days in the Joyce and Walky reruns right now. Horrifically violent days with characters on the brink of death, sure, but better than this.
Vague memory suggests that those born with dual citizenship, both US and something else, are required to pick one at a certain age, but I’m not sure what the age is, or if this is something my mind is making up.
Clif
Apparently I was wrong. It seems that the ability for adults to be simultaneously citizens of two countries under US law was recognized by the Supreme Court in Kawakita v. United States.
Cripes, Jason me lad, it’s been yonks! When’d we see you last, can’t’ve been more than a few months but it feels like years. The longer hair and darker brows suit you, mate.
Speaking as not-a-barman, I don’t get why this matters? Surely if someone’s fake ID was good enough you wouldn’t get in trouble for serving them would you?
Anon A Mouse
No, the law is pretty clear in most matters involving a fake ID. While the person with the fake ID will of course be in trouble ( I believe it’s considered fraud for faking a government document ) the other side will also be in trouble for not accurately spotting a fake ID. There are a few cases where this has been argued but it’s rare for it to change.
He Who Abides
Plus, you can’t come into a strip club (where I bounce) when you’re under a certain age. And we’ve had a few of our more persistent creeps try sneaking back in as well, hoping a fake ID will be enough to fool whoever’s at the door.
Clif
Like a lot of laws in the US, it varies by state. In Texas, knowingly using or even possessing a fictitious or altered driver’s license or other official personal identification certificate is a misdemeanor which can get you a year behind bars and a few thousand dollars poorer. If it’s not such a certificate but only confusingly similar to one, then possibility of the jail term goes away, but there is still a fine. Unless the confusingly similar certificate has a clear statement “not a government document” somewhere in the fine print, in which case it’s perfectly okay. Tampering with a real government certificate can get you ten years behind bars and a ten thousand dollar fine. Loaning someone your ID or providing them with a fictitious document gets you the same penalty as using one.
But.
If a bar takes your fake ID, there may be some minor criminal charges, but the serious thing is that the bar loses their liquor license and probably goes out of business, and since losing such a license in itself not a crime, it’s not entrapment when Alcoholic Beverage Commission conducts undercover sting operations at random, or on businesses that have ticked them off, using real minors to test the bar’s ability to spot fake IDs.
The Beatles made the most famous version but there are dozens. It’s one of those songs every garage band either does or tries to do, like “Mustang Sally” or “I Shot The Sheriff”.

the ghost of Mike manifesting in bangs on Jason

I knew the bangs signified something…

Damn came here to post just that. Can’t compete with the champ though.
Deanatay
Apparently no character in DOA is cutting their hair this year.
Octopus Ink
Hostility, thy name is Ruth.
Sirksome
Oh. I guess Jason is still in this comic. Still not very relevant though, even with new hair. Remember that time he and Sal banged? That was his peak.
Leorale
Banging and bangs. A fringe character now has a fringe. It’s all connected, man.
BarerMender
Don’t Bogart the joint.
RassilonTDavros
I see what you did there.
DailyBrad
Plus tutoring Walky. Wonder if he still is, though I’d imagine it’s not super likely.

TBF banging Sal would be the peak for anyone.

Are you saying that Ethan would never give us peak Danny?
Suet
He has seen better days. Still dang spiffy.
*orders whole wheat bread for the table*

The new hairdo suits him well

Cheezy bread for me, thanks

I wonder if the fact that Ruth’s new ID is probably American bothers her Canadian sensibilities, too.
Needfuldoer
It’s possible she has dual citizenship, if her mother was from Indiana and her father was Canadian.
thejeff
That’s what I’ve always assumed.

Mrimm
What if Jason has actually been Mike in a time travel witness protection program this whole time??
Clif
Now that his earlier self is out of the picture, he can slowly relax his disguise.
King Daniel
Nah, I’m pretty sure Jennifer is actually Mike.
I am Nothing
Y’sure it’s not Sal?
milu
Hello, Mike is Fuckface, obviously???
I am Nothing
Well, if it isn’t any of these people, it can only be Blowjob Cat.
ASTAPHE
Nono! Mike is Amazigirl!
Clif
They both disappeared at the the same time. Can that be coincidence?
Clif
But, King Dan, where does she hide all the woodpeckers?
King Daniel
In her trunk, obviously.
butts
jason with a combover, huh
Needfuldoer
Looks more like a combforward.
Self-conscious about your hairline, Jason?
Cattleprod
Nice synergy with the reruns, Jason’s performing CPR over there and talking about taking someone to the hospital here.
GoldDragon387

BBCC
Dude, if Jason has that good a memory for people who’ve used fake IDs, he’s gotta be kicking ass as a bartender. Good on ya, Jason, good on ya.
DailyBrad
College town, he probably gets a lot of practice.
BBCC
I mean, yeah, fair, I remember the Before Times.
Thag Simmons
I mean his last encounter with Ruth was probably more memorable than most
BBCC
True enough!
He Who Abides
I mean, you kinda hafta remember who’s got fake ID for when they try to sneak in again. Spoken from personal experience.

alright! thanks to the 3 of you for that context

You see, I had the wrong band in my head about this particular cut. Which is why I didn’t mention anybody.
RacingTurtle
And the same band did Keep Your Hands to Yourself. Weird. TIL.
Stephen Bierce
The Beatles made the most famous version but there are dozens. It’s one of those songs every garage band either does or tries to do, like “Mustang Sally” or “I Shot The Sheriff”.
EpochFlame
the jason with longer hair. first sighting in the wild
Thag Simmons
Dang, that’s not a bad look for him
bcb
Hold on, Sal said Jason had a student visa. How’s he still here? Either we’ll find out in the next few pages, or it will be a years-spanning mystery!
Thag Simmons
“Mostly by not thinking about it with every bit of his might”
RassilonTDavros
His new look is probably an attempt to hide from the authorities.
Nono
He got kicked out as a TA, not necessarily as a student.
Keulen
I’m sure Galasso doesn’t care if his minions have student visas or not, as long as they are willing to do his bidding.
