Old bean
on November 25, 2020 at 1:01 amHey, look, it’s Jason! And he’s EXTRA British! He’s only on two pages, and I just really wanted everyone to understand he was British. Shortpacked!’s readers were mostly unfluent in It’s Walky!ese, you see. It’s two pages of concentrated Jason.
He’s also… more elaborately uniformed than usual. I’d placed Mike and Amber in this real-ish New York space, and I felt like Jason’s attire had to be spiced up. Also it more-quickly sold the idea that he was, you know, military. More than wearing just a turtleneck. It also better put across better the idea that Mike and Amber are civilians, just by how less elaborately they are dressed. (I mean, okay, Amber’s in a mask and cape, but you get it.)
Jason’s still got the bow-tie, though.
Marcie and Travis poke along in the background. They’re why this story is placed here rather than later.
yeah i’m tagging the honey bun by its eyeball
Loading ...
so is honey bun ok?
he ded
Several years later, in an alternate universe, another Honey Bun finds out about this Honey Bun’s death. In a rage, he warps reality to pass between barriers so he can take revenge. Unfortunately for him, he arrives in Walkyverse Prime a few months AFTER Soggies begin their rule. Honey Bun is quickly swept away and dissolves.
No one notices.
So long as he gets put in a very large oven.
It’s a tactical bowtie. It contains a hidden piano wire; you can garotte a man and make him look super dapper at the same time.
extra protection for the jugular
Wait, I don’t remember what happens with Marcie and Travis later on that would make their presence here important in terms of the timeline. Do they die later? I can’t remember!
I’ll accept the tactical bow tie, but what is up with that holster? I can’t see any way to draw that wouldn’t be incredibly awkward.
Seems like it’d be awkward for Jason to grab that grenade strapped to his military vest thingy too.
Those are for open-carry places
I carry concealed with a Dilon Desert Special that’s easily far less awkward than that. If the gun were lower and closer to horizontal, it might make for a decent cross draw rig. But for open carry, he ought to go for either a waist or upper thigh rig.
I’m loving the tactical bowtie.
Late again, Jason old son? Never mind, the real heroes have saved the day. Yes, I’m suggesting that Amber is a full-blown hero. I know that in my sequel fan-fic I was planning for Amazi-Girl to be the team’s Token Badass Normal.
Good thing Jason said “Old bean” or newcomers might not know he’s English.
I quite enjoy Amazi-Girl’s slyness in that last panel, too.
Is this before or after Amber got promoted to assistant manager? (Just wondering how many meanings her sentence has)
