Location: Professor Doc's lab, Transparent Steel Chamber
Remember, Billie and Beef were established to be a thing in high school. Billie grew up with this guy they’re shootin’ at. It’s awkward.
I’m not sure he was, like, ten feet tall back then. Probably only seven. He tends to be ten feet tall mostly suddenly when I need him to be, I dunno.
Shooting at Beef sounds like a euphemism
Sounds like one of Roz’s escapades.
I’d like to imagine that Beef spent half of high school shorter than Walky then he grew like an extra 4 feet overnight
He spends a lot of time in the background so he fits in the action shots.
Fun Fact: Beef is exactly the same height as Gamagoori from Kill La Kill.
“As big as he needs to be” with a floor of “taller than you.”
God, it’s amazing 2013!me never, like, pulled every strip containing Beef to chart his height over time.
2019!me is sorely tempted.
Don’t!
You don’t want to be remembered for an Assessment of Several Steves, do you?
Maybe Beef’s abductee power is that he can grow or shrink in height a few feet whenever he wants.
Every time I read this strip, I go through a moment of, “Wait, Billie knows Beef? Oh, yeah, they would’ve been neighbors growing up too.”
And then I forget until I read this strip again.
I’ve always kind of figured that Beef had a couple of ranks of Growth with Permanent and Innate, and a couple more ranks that were just Sustained.
“It’s taken a few days to get… caught up on my TV shows first.”
Wait, Billie and Beef were A Thing? I knew they grew up together just from basic logic but I didn’t remember that.
