snerk
on September 30, 2016 at 12:01 amThe build-up was a little messy, but I like where it goes. Sure, Walky and Jason make good foils, but Walky never threatens any of
Jason’s beliefs, he merely reinforces them. Joe, meanwhile, kind of upends Jason’s security in his feelings of what masculinity should
be. And so you end up with this glorious moment where Jason actually tries to be different.
The problem is Joe’s feelings on masculinity aren’t terribly great either, oh well.

Sal’s laughing because panel 3 shows just how MUCH of a twig Jason is
it occurs to me now the panel layout is an extra nice touch, too
At least the clothes were on sale.
Dammit Jason, just ditch the bow tie and your look is fine.
Honestly, I think just being less pompous and snooty, while dressing exactly the same, would be fine.
(bowtie and all)
“Snerk”? That is no coincidence. Whose comic was first, this one or that one?
This comic has a publication date more than 2 years prior to the Girl Genius comic.
I am completely baffled why this commonly-used word for a short, snorty laugh can’t possibly be coincidence.
What? How can you not know? All the prominent web comics get together and coordinate their memes.
. . . ummm, never mind, forget I said anything.
It’s an utterly common onomatopoeia. It’s even in Wiktionary.
I remember using “URK” for the sound of violence, and a friend thought it was awesome I acknowledged its existence. Apparently, another friend didn’t understand the word, so he’d said, “What do you MEAN it’s not a word? It’s URK!”
O SHIT IT’S AMAZI-GIRL
I had the same reaction as Sal when I saw what Jason was wearing.
I love IW!Sal so much, but if I called her my waifu I think David Willis would come to my house and actually murder me.
forsrstho, she’s a bastion of genuine depth and complexity even while things were a bit silly, and between the mistakes she makes and her development, where by the end of the day she’s not magically cured of her problems but owns them and lives with them as best she can, I seriously think she’s probably the single best written character in Willis’ entire history as a content creator.
