Here is Sal beating her brother to death with a Segway. It’s atrocious, but it’s atrocious built on the foundation of the absurd. Like… with a Segway, dudes. A Segway. Beating her brother to death with a Segway. It’s this interaction between drama and the ridiculous that I would later carefully hone in my Shortpacked! days.

I like the Corn-Popper better. It would make for a funnier coroner’s report.
“So how did this guy die Steve?”
“By looks of the hits on his it seems like he was hit with a corn popper Derek.”
“Don’t be silly man, nobody would use a popcorn popper to kill somebody.”
The next day Derek was found dead, having the same head injuries like the previous victim.
^ And this is why I read the comments.
They almost always add that fun little flair to webcomics. And you get a nice few running community jokes that make the solitary experience feel more fleshed out.
Like it’s a group of you reading it together and laughing next to each other, rather than one person alone.
What could be more ridiculous than a Segway? A child’s popcorn popper?? LOL
an Easy Bake Oven, especially one that still had a cake baking inside!
Dean Kamen, eat your heart out.
When they eventually make Its Walky!: The Animated Series, do you think this scene would be funnier with a classically apocalyptic orchestra-and-chorus sort of soundtrack, or something closer to “Night on Bald Mountain” meets “Cotton-Eye Joe”?
I’m thinking a cross between Leonard Cohen, Joy Division, and “Yakety Sax”.
Something like this.
Maybe something in between those extremes, like the Anvil Chorus.
Aww, the link died…
Hall of The Mountain King, maybe?
Beaten to death with a Segwey is a pretty ridiculous way to die.
she does kinda remind me of Amazi-girl here.
Family dinner at the walkerton must be really really akward
“Hey, Remeber the time when i almost beat you to death with a segway”
I don’t get the problem with being beaten to death with a Segway, honestly. But then again, I dedicate my life to reading a manga where a century year old vampire attacks a Japanese school boy with a steam roller.

didn’t you end shortpacked by having the villains of a cereal commercial attack the cast?
