It ain’t professional

Location: SEMME downtown housing building
Other important information: Sal and Tony are secretly bangin’ or whatever. Â That wasn’t revealed in Roomies!, but it’s important to know for the story coming. Â Also, Jason is totes jelly.
I can’t remember why Sal and Tony have to be a secret. Â Oh well.

Jason, you could not be any wronger. Kissing Mike is totally an acceptable substitute.
Acceptable? I’d even say superior.
Because Tony hates PDAs?
Also Jason, Mike is /totally/ an acceptable substitute! Go for it! 😀
Aaaaand now I ship Beef/Mike. Admitt it, it’d be hot.
Shit, I’m asking for Beef/Cake
>GRUNT<
Better.
This one page makes me almost like Beef. As oppose to the one note of constantly forgetting he exist.
Yeah, he was an interesting character for the first story or two, before he disappeared and everyone else stopped talking about him for like years at a time.
Little Known Fact: After becoming a minor character in It’s Walky!, Beef went on to have a successful part-time career as a traveling webcomic stunt double, portraying Doctor McLuchador in The Adventures of Doctor McNinja, Sir Mansley Girthrod in Nimona, and one of the stick figures in xkcd.
They have to keep it a secret because (SPOILERS)
(Sal’s mom is head of SEMME and probably has a special “No one is allowed to bang my daug//// Sal Walke//// Sal Walters. Or else! Because of reasons.” rule on the books.)
(END SPOILERS)
…Tony’s dad is the head of SEMME right now, though.
Then maybe it’s the same just with Tony in place of Sal?
I don’t know I forgot these two were even a couple honestly.
I assumed it was because of fraternization rules.
Not that SEMME seems to have those later.
Presumably SEMME has antifraternization policies which would prohibit a relationship between a squad leader and his subordinate. And Tony’s straightlaced enough to give a damn about such policies.
Sounds legit. This is an early sign that SEMME understands the human nature of its squad members about as well as Walky understands Mandarin Chinese.
yeah, that’s standard protocol in the military. (and increasingly, many other places.)
I just always assumed they needed to keep it quiet because they were on the same military-eqsue team and isn’t fraternizing with teammates generally frowned upon by superior officers in that sort of work/danger situation?
Oh wow, that first panel. Sal looks so vulnerable.
Kind of obvious even if not noted.
As noted fraternization not looked upon kindly, gets ya killed in action.
Yeah, I just read it as them not being able to quit playing lookout long enough for them to kiss.
Considering the Head Alien’s MO (and Tony’s backstory), I could see Tony just wanting to keep the fact that a teammate is something more to him a general secret.
Also, it is important that it be revealed that Sal has breasts. Revealed breasts, that is. (Evidence that these are the redrawn strips is presented by said breasts in panel 1.)
Yes, them breasts are indeed… eye-catching.
Now the only question is: Is Jason jelly of Sal, or jelly of Tony?
mustn’t get attached mustn’t get attached mustn’t get attached DAMMIT TONY
Also revealed: Jason can translate Beef’s mono-syllabic grunts into multiple sentences.
Oh, who can’t? (Other than the readers…)
Is Sal’s shirt translucent or something? like we can see the line of her stomach through it and her boobs…i can’t really figure out what’s going on with her boobs actually
I don’t know what’s weirder, the fact he allows people to call him “Beef” or the fact that he can be understood. Or maybe it’s the fact that he has a sense of humor.
