I said INconspicuous
on October 1, 2017 at 12:01 amI should put Sal in that first shirt for Dumbing of Age sometime.
This is one of my favorite strips, if only because it can deliver its punchline without a word. Also, this is the last time in… a long, long time that Jason is seen with a bowtie. I don’t think he wears one again until, what, Shortpacked!?
It would’ve been so obvious to make the punchline something about shorter hair making her look like Walky, I expected that as soon as Jason mentioned a haircut and was pleasantly surprised.
though I’m surprised Jason doesn’t react at all to his bowtie being ripped basically in three… is it made of paper??
For the love of…
George
Um, hey, Joyce?
I don’t know what I’m doing, Sal
Effin’ Dina
It appears to be a clip-on bowtie
The kind where the strap detaches (the kind you wear with a rental tux.)
Actually, bowtie-shredding is one of Sal’s lesser-used powers. Just think, if SEMME could get Head Alien to wear a bowtie, the war would be over!
Well, super-strength. I’m just surprised Sal didn’t accidentally break his scrawny neck.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Sal with shorter hair in this universe or DoA, and Jason’s a Brit so his accent will make him stick out unless he’s able to fake an American accent for the whole time they’re on the run.
Thank the gods. Shorter hair on Sal would be bad.
Just a head’s up – the tag for Sal’s gone screwy.
The hair’s fine.
Daisy, we might need Sal
Only Mr. Bellybutton
Didja see that?

Sal, what are you doing down here?
Monkey-humped
Aah. That hurts
My son.
This was always one of my favourite punchlines. The looming hand in the penultimate panel is a big part of what makes it great.
Jason’s face in panel two is a giveaway, isn’t it?
Jason and Sal’s inner monologues while changing:
Why can’t she just love me for who I am?
Yer immune to The Sound of Music
Utterly depressin’
Ah’m gonna #@?!in’ wipe this place off the map.
Walkerton’s taking a long time
RIP bowtie.
With the “P” standing for “pieces”, obviously.
just rip it! rip it good!
