   I thought he looked like a protagonist.

   Vaguely.

     Nah, he’s always been a sideline snarker. He got a few storylines to himself back in the day, but protagonist is a very strong word, especially because one of the defining points of the comics was just how much shit revolved specifically around Joyce, Walky and Sal.

     Just make sure you abandon all sanity before you do it, and are used to plot threads more convoluted than George Martin’s… Okay, almost as convoluted as George Martin’s…

     Half as convoluted…

       It took me like three rereadings to understand where the hell the zombie virus came from.

   I guess ever since Baywatch ended, the Honey Bun’s been hard up for attention.

   I like that Amber may actually know she’s in way over her head, but she’s going to take the invitation anyway. She’s that mad at Mike.

   As I saw Mike’s “Hero Pose”, Twister from The World Ends With You started playing in my head. That has to be one of the greatest subconscious compliments I can give this comic.

   I’d do it for the broken bones. Definitely for the broken bones.

   …wait, “Internet Relay Chat Chat?”

   That line struck me as odd the first time I read this comic, but it’s apparently taken me two years to figure out why.

    …! Up to this point, SF wierd stuff in Shortpacked is fairly discrete and unobtrusive. The Mundanes are really going to notice this one!

    I’m more shocked that Mike wasn’t insulting her than that a giant mutant creature appeared.

    This should be the theme to this battle…cause as soon as I saw this one, that theme began playing in my head.

    Just saying…

    The perspective on the last panel reminds me of Princess Jasmine taking Aladdin’s hand in the movie.
