    I propose that from now on, Amber’s name be changed to Sugar Tits. All in favour?

      One problem with that… that character name has already been used in Questionable Content.

        Actually, I think she’s Sweet Tits.

        Good thing, too. That Jeph Jacques can be quite litigious.

          Ah, I was thinking more like Faye’s self-abusive nickname . . . “twinkle-tits,” for those of you who don’t read QC . . . but that IS a better reference.

            Actually, Angus coined twinkle-tits; Faye did agree with his sentiment, though.

          Fun fact: Sweet-tits now has a name!

        That girl’s Sweet Tits. And Amber’s a main character (Sorry, meant Sugar Tits is a main character) while Sweet Tits is a barely used novelty. Should be fine.

        I think Sugar-Tits is already firmly engrained enough in the collective unconsious that calling a character Sugar-Tits doesn’t infringe upon any artistic property or ideas… That was a weird sentence.

          It’s the left eye (his left) that makes him look worried; cover it up and he’s back to the pissed off Mike we all know and love so much.

    Damn, I really hope we get to see Robin kick actual ass in this storyline. It’s been too long since she’s put her alien powers to use!

    While I admit that Faz is probably the member of the Axis of Something best used to represent Tarantulas, it still wounds me inside because Faz is a pathetic human being and Tarantulas was probably my favourite Beast Wars character (it’s debatable between him and Inferno).

    Is it even possible to have a woobly Nerf sword not look guffawingly phallic?

    Also Robin just acknowledged that something is more important than her IT IS THE END TIMES AND THE FORETOLD GEEKPOCALYPSE IS UPON US

      If you click on the tag, it will show you Dawson’s previous appearances. To summarize, he was a customer who had some advice for Ethan about rearranging his planagram. Specifically about the placement of Transformers Fast Action Battlers. Ethan disagreed with him, and he proceeded to have a screaming hissy fit about how “arrogant” he was not to drop everything and follow his advice. After Dawson and his strangely nearly identical friends failed to “save” Shortpacked! from Ethan’s “arrogance” Dawson joined the Axis to teach his nemesis a lesson once and for all.

      Oh, and fear not fellow Shortpacked readers, Robin has not suddenly realized that something is more important than she, she simply wants to deal with the Axis single handedly so she can have the spotlight all to herself by being the lone hero, and therefore, the center of attention. She’s just quoting gritty action movie dialogue because it sounds cool. It’s not the End Times just yet.

    I can’t believe the first thing I see after the new Anime New Editorial featuring an Epic Nerf Battle on TGWTG is a Nerf Sword here.
    Is it Nerf Day?

    To be fair, it is a valid concern. I’d hate to go to a funeral and constantly remember the last thing said to me by the person was being called sugar tits.

    You do realize, of course, that now Robin has to die in a self-sacrificial death.

      Or, at least, THINK she’s died in a self-sacrificial death. She has been watching a lot of Dinobot stuff, y’know…

      Oh, snap! should that have had a spoiler tag? ;)

    Is robin in any actual danger here? I mean, last time the store got robbed, she refused to take the situation seriously and got shot as a result, but she’s got super-speed and the axis don’t seem to be genre savvy enough to use guns, which is really the only way you could fight someone like that.

    On the other hand, it’s powered by sugar, and she might not have any on her.

    It occurs to me that not only did Leslie disappear right behind her, she actually lives with both her coworkers. Wouldn’t she notice that they weren’t right beside her?

    Anyways, it seems like a mistake to place a call. Anyone with genre savviness would know that backup would show up just in time to see you utter your last words. Of course, with this being Shortpacked, I don’t see it not playing out differently.
