has it ever been proven that she knows what a door is for or is it like Sam in “Clarissa Explains It All” and she can only enter and exit through a window?
It’s how the original Batman got the inspiration to dress like a bat – dialogue’s the same, just substitute “criminals” for “aliens” (and replace Sal with a bat).
Batman is a pretty well-known superhero comic with many adaptations. Shortpacked! is an on-line comic about a toy store. When you say admitting this doesn’t help your nerd cred, do you mean by pushing it up or down?
Oh! So the restaraunt date is in London? Well, it should have been obvious and intuitive that Joyce and Walky’s plans weren’t going to go without a hitch (or even work at all) at this stage!
Loading ...
And so it begins.
Walky becomes Salman.
(what? you thought I was referring to the beginning of something else?)
I didn’t realize he had such a strange life before he started writing.
Not to be confused with Salmonman, Protector of the Streams, Aquaman’s third cousin.
Onwards and upwards!
Salman Khan, the famous Indian TV personality?
Nope, just Salmon.
And from that day forward, Walky dressed in motorcycle outfits.
Also, I don’t know what aliens Walky has been fighting that seemed superstitious – the Aliens never seemed that to me. Silly, yes. Superstitious, no.
I didn’t feel it coming, but it Shortpacked! a punch!
I know, I know…don’t quit my day job.
Oh, I wouldn’t say that.
I mean … your day job might be as a comedian.
Then you should definitely quit.
Oh great, some Mike-on-Mike action.
Would that count as masterbation or would it be the most awesome Slipshine ever?
I’m wondering if that was an intentional Rodney Dangerfield reference in the first panel or not.
Or maybe it’s a reference to ROVER Dangerfield, the 90s animated film starring Rodney Dangerfield.
No joke, the tagline is “The Dog Who Gets No Respect.”
Why does this movie exist.
At least Sal learned better window diving technique.
Smacking her face into Sal-proofed windows will do that to you.
So, this is where the thing with Sal only using windows to go in and out comes from.
No, she’s been doing this since Roomies.
has it ever been proven that she knows what a door is for or is it like Sam in “Clarissa Explains It All” and she can only enter and exit through a window?
Use a frickin’ door, Sal.
Walking through a door is not as exciting as jumping through a window. Sal probably wants to feel the adrenaline rush.
Quick, someone invent window-shaped doors!
Those have to be a thing, right? You know, for swashbuckling Cyrano-types to practice with.
Admitting this isn’t good for my nerd cred but Shortpacked! is the only reason I even get this joke.
It’s been a while since I read Shortpacked!. What joke is this?
It’s how the original Batman got the inspiration to dress like a bat – dialogue’s the same, just substitute “criminals” for “aliens” (and replace Sal with a bat).
For some reason that just makes me want to see Sarah as some sort of baseball-themed superhero.
I know, right. Have her dress as a crazy-ish harlequin with pale-white makeup. ♦♢♦♢
Wait, that’s neither very hero nor very Sarah.

This is the clearest illustration I have seen that Sal is, indeed, batman. Therefore, Sal can surely breathe in space.
Based on the Birds of Prey tribute picture Willis did for Dumbing of Age, I’m thinking that Sal is Black Canary.
You can feel Willis’ Batman nerd vibes in this one.
Just write a Batman story and make is proud, already.
Implying we aren’t already proud? He did “clever girl”. He has nothing left to prove.
“Hey, Sal!”
“Hi, Walky! Didya remember ya gun?”
Oh! So the restaraunt date is in London? Well, it should have been obvious and intuitive that Joyce and Walky’s plans weren’t going to go without a hitch (or even work at all) at this stage!
I read a parody along the same lines in an annual of L.E.G.I.O.N. It ended in the creation of Womanman, and Girl the Boy Wonder.
For a moment, I thought we were leading up to…
AMAZI…WALKY!!
Alright, that got me, this ridiculous setup and punchline almost made me laugh out loud at work.
This tongue-in-cheek Batman reference is right up my alley.
…Crime Alley, that is.
I’ll see myself out.
I know this is a horribly dramatic storyline and the ending is gonna mess me up, so thank you for the laugh.
