Robin WHO??
I remember Robin stripping to her undies in the store. Will Malaya go one step further?
Will Leslie join in?
Will David finally give us the Shortpacked we’ve all been wanting: Hot girl on girl on Ultra Car action!
Answers to all those questions in order:
Yes
Maybe
Nope
And now that can happen!
Robin Who’d
…Had to make the bad joke D:
I beat myself to my own joke
…I’m not even sure how…
WHY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU COULD MEAN
Squeeeeeeeeeee~!
awww, she can’t keep up her charade. yay.
Aha! See, everyone who hates Malaya? YOU ARE JUST PLAYING RIGHT INTO HER HANDS.
Suddenly I love Malaya so very much and don’t want anything horrid to happen to her and I want to be her bestest bestest friend.
…
Is she gone yet?
Um, no. She’s going to have to look elsewhere for hatesex.
That’s a fast iguana. Off Malaya’s head and onto Leslie’s boxes before she can even ask about it.
Smart one, too. He saw what was coming and he got out of the way.
Or Malaya moved him, but that’s boring.
Oh man, I read that as “boxers” and got a very weird image out of it.
Iguanas move like that. Still… still… still… over there now.
Lizards gotta keep conserve energy!
“Short controlled bursts.”
Like a quasar.
If quasars were in any way blooded…and then also cold blooded.
They’re clearly quantum-locked.
Aww, there goes my brilliant theory that the reason Malaya was acting friendlier than usual is that the iguana on her head was controlling her brain.
Is Malaya removing her shirt as a response to what Leslie said, or was she going to do it anyway and it coincided with what Leslie said?
I expect we’ll know by Friday. Me, I’m just hoping her action indicates she’s quitting, maybe to go find work on Randy Milholland’s pages or something.
That would be AWESOME, because I could totally see Randy finding some sort of nasty fate for her. He dislikes characters like her.
He used Teleport!
It’s Super-Effective!
So is Malaya’s breasts at causing folks speach issues.
Does this mean that Fuckface is a Pokemon, if so, what type?
Well, going by normal Pokemon naming rules, it’s probably something like FACKFUCE or FUCEFACK.
When I said type, I meant like ground, water, psychic, dark, you know, that sort of thing.
Ground-type, maybe? Perhaps Grass? Maybe PSYCHIC?
It does occur that Malaya and Robin are very similar, save for their attitude towards life.
Heere Lizard Lizard Lizard! Hmm… Leslie’s gonna need a bigger box!
I see what you did there.
It’s time to BURRRRRRN those BRIDGES!
Better yet, BUUUUURN those BRAS.
There seems to be an epidemic of brain-boilage in the walkyverse today. First Walky and now Leslie. Oh noes!
I was thinking it could be to do with the Lunar Eclipse earlier today.
Malaya’s SHED SKIN ability comes into effect.
Will Leslie respond with ENCORE?
Leslie is infatuated. She can’t act this turn.
Leslie is immobilized by love!
You can’t ENCORE Shed Skin, its an ability not a move!
You CAN use ENCORE on ‘ATTRACT’ and I think that’s what Malaya just used :p
And as we’ve seen, Malaya’s burned a lot of bridges already…
Has she had a full conversation with Mike yet? Because I’d like to see that happen.
I’m not sure any of her bridges have been burned yet. She’s upset Robin on purpose but Robin hasn’t displayed any lasting anger at her yet and she hurt Ethan by accident and remains unaware of it.
No, Leslie! Be smarter! BE SMARTER!
She was in love with Robin. ‘Jerk’ is a step up from that.
No. Despite what cheery lies they spread, “jerk” is only a step up from flaming shite. Now, in Malaya’s case, “self-absorbed asshat”, which she is, is several steps down from “self-absorbed goofball”, which is Robin’s classification. And now you know!
See, not wanting to hurt people is not a major advantage, when you’re a complete idiot, and thus everything you do hurts people.
Malaya’s a jerk, but she’s got an IQ above room temperature, therefore she hurts fewer people than Robin.
Jerk is better than ‘idiot who hurts people anyway’. Any sane person’s better off keeping both out of their lives, but, if you’ve got to choose, go with the one who’s not going to cause chaos and then look at you and say ‘I meant well’ and expect that to make everything better.
If one has to choose, one is smart, and picks neither. UNLESS! The jerk stops being a jerk, and/or the goofball realizes she doesn’t have to constantly be “on”, settles down slightly, and thus starts causing far less harm. …The sad thing about that, now that I think of it, is it means the jerk would have a lot more of a way to go. =\
NO! You keep your shirt on and go fetch Robin!
It was about time that we get some moar fanservice.
mmmm, fanservice.
I am a lion and I approve of this message.
I’m also a lion, but I’m indifferent to this message.
What? Why? It’s even got an iguana in it. I hear there’s good eating on those things.
I used to be a lion but now I’m a scary guy
oh yeah, I approve this message too for what it’s worth
Leslie, the reason why you and her get along is because she doesn’t treat you like you’re beneath her. She would get along just fine with everyone else if she was, you know, FRIENDLY.
Also, and I don’t think she’s noticed this about herself yet: Leslie is interestingly naive about some things. Nothing wrong with trying to see the good in people and give them the benefit of the doubt… but there is that, and then there is self-delusion. She is already in danger of falling into the same trap here, that she did with Robin. =\
The iguana in panel 4 reminds me of Sam the Eagle for some reason. (This is a good thing.)
So Fuckface is going to start babbling on about High Culture while knowing almost no correct facts?
No, he’s going to lecture us on how immoral people are today, explaining how, beneath our clothing, we are totally NAKED.
Still my favourite from Sam’s soap box.
Honestly, the best way to sum up the Shortpacked gang is with the word “weirdos”.
You saying gay people are weird? O`_’o
Naw, even I don’t think that’s what Wackd meant. I mean, these are the folks who stab fast food cashiers, get themselves into trouble under the influence of Cadbury creme eggs, and wear their pets on their heads. Not exactly the most normal folks around.
And that’s why we love ‘em!
I was making a joke >_>
DAMMIT. FOILED AGAIN!
It’s always hit-and-miss with me when trying to figure out who’s being sarcastic on the internet and who’s just being a plain ol’ dumbass.
Well, carry on. Allons-y!
I love how neither Malaya nor Leslie know who the other one is at all.
This.
There’s more to people than trim athletic bodies or the fact that they’re into girls!
Well, Malaya is just in to Leslie because she’s an attractive lesbian (and as we’ve already established, she’s not very nice)
Leslie is just turned on. She doesn’t seem to have the same crush on Malaya, it’s just arousal. I can hate the girl in front of me, but if she has a nice body and starts taking her shirt off in front of me, I’m gonna get turned on no matter how much I hate her
I… Am kind of disturbed by the people who want Les and Robin to get back together. Robin was hurtful and careless, and Leslie does not deserve that. Hopefully they can be friends some day, but Robin is not showing any signs of changing that kind of behavior overall.
Also, Malaya’s hot, so, whatevs.
I think it’s the fact that they seemed to flow well together, they were a really cute couple.
you’re the POPE! you should be all about forgiveness and turning the other cheek!
But he isn’t really the Pope. He’s just an old man in a funny hat.
As far as I’m concerned, Jeremy Irons is the only real Pope.
It took me three times to look past the fanservice, to notice that shortpack now has a second floor O.o
They’ve had one for a while, you can see it in Robin’s epic battle with the Axis of Something
It’s had that for a pretty long time, actually. Like, since the whole main-characters-are-unemployed arc ended.
IT BEGINS
I thought the reason they got close was because Leslie hates Robin’s sister
So, the solution is killing her with kindness?
So… when did Leslie become retarded?
“GEE GIRL WHO’S AN ASSHOLE TO EVERYONE BUT ME I WONDER WHY IT IS WE GET ALONG HURR DURR DURR. I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY NO ONE ELSE LIKES YOU.”
“ALSO DESPITE ME BEING A LESBIAN I TOTALLY CAN’T TELL THAT YOU’RE COMING ON TO ME.”
Maybe Willis is developing Leslie? And Willis speak for “developing” is “saddle with horrible personality flaws and irreversible immoral actions,” so this should be fun!
(I kid because I love)
Was Leslie even around to observe Malaya’s interactions with the others?
Leslie’s ability to see the good in people is what allowed her to be with Robin in the first place. This is nothing new.
Being able to see the good in people doesn’t mean you just ignore the bad all around it.
Kinda hard to stay angry/hateful over something that you’ve seen naked before… In the same bed as you… Doing -very- fun things. Anyway, as you can tell Malaya is trying very hard :3
Is it just me, or does Leslie’s sudden blabbering about lean, athletic rebels feel totally uncalled for?
seconded, it feels kind of forced
I don’t think it’s forced. I think that’s Leslie’s own shy, awkward way of hitting on Malaya. Leslie is chatting Malaya up, telling Malaya how pretty she is and how cool she is… classic flirtation. Seems to me Malaya just happens to be way more direct in her approach.
She’s in withdrawal.
From hot Robin-sex, specifically – and Robin has lately been parading around the store in front of her due to non-separated schedules.
Oh, look, Malaya’s making it even more obvious how shallow she is by trying to appeal now directly to Les’ pants.
…tell me the next panel she spontaneously combusts.
Maybe, hopefully, after hearing about Les and Robin and how she is just like Robin, Malaya is quitting and we won’t have to see her again…or she’ll just hook up with Sydney Yus.
I see this ending painfully for Leslie. Malaya’s being way too forward in her advances. I think she’s just looking to add Leslie as a notch on her bedpost and not a serious relationship.
If you think Robin hurt her, just wait till this bitch gets done with her.
I’ve been seeing it. I think that this is going to be like the triangle in shortpacked, with Malaya taking Mike’s role, Leslie taking Dina’s and Robin taking Walky’s
LESLIE: I’m sorry Robin, this is the best I can do. *explodes*
damn it, I forgot about that
This might just be Leslie’s rebound relationship, assuming it ever actually goes anywhere. Even if they do hook up it might just be a fling or an ‘I tried but I’m not ready’ or Leslie will see her being a bitch at Robinn and intervene.
I guess the day that Malaya was born, there was a glitch in the Allspark…
…
I’m calling it now! They’ll be Face-Fucking on top of Ultra Car within the next few strips! :p
… Or am I going to have to wait till I can pay to get that picture drawn of my perverted fantasy at a convention.
but one way or another, pie will be involved!
One of the less subtle euphemisms for oral sex…
Or Ultra Car is chucking a pie at them to get the girls off of him.
Or Ultra Car holds up two pies. One for each girl and the girls each dip two fingers in that sweet creamy pie…
Does “face fucking” really count as a euphemism?
No.
Term for making out came to mind since the iguana’s name was Fuckface. To subtle?
I wonder exactly how much of Malaysia’s attraction comes from the knowledge that she’s hurting Robin through this. It’s going to be an ugly, ugly scene when all of Malaysia’s actions come back to bite her in the end.
I don’t think she’s quite that flexible, and I doubt Leslie’s into that sort of biting.
Robin might be, though. >.>
…You may have a point.
Malaya’s expression in panel 4 is really cute.
Mmm, oh yea. Pacific Islanders are Hawt.
It occurred to me that in retrospect it seems likely that the shirt-removal is more likely in response to the “Robin and I only got close once she burned all her bridges with everybody else here” comment than to the homoerotic musings, given Malaya’s panel four reaction and the timing. So perhaps she actually is about to quit, or deliberately wreak havoc perhaps?
Only time will tell.
Every time I see the tag “fuckface” I start to giggle uncontrollably.
I think I need to see a doctor or something.
SHIT JUST GOT REAL.
(And that “nobody liked Robin” bit made me cackle. I knew it!)
Wasn’t everyone’s dislike of Robin obvious for a while there? We knew Amber really didn’t like her, Ethan was annoyed by her, Ninja Rick and Faz seemed indifferent.
and Mike felt Mike towards her
I love how everyone’s like “OMG SHIT’S GOING DOWN NOW”.
…it COULD just be the end of her shift, and she’s getting into her normal clothes a little quickly. Could be wrong, though.
Yeah, with one strip left for the week and no sign of a cliffhanger, I doubt this is the part where she reveals herself to be a brainwashed Skrull clone of Sidney Yus that has only just regained her original memories.
wow chika wow wooooow
so… when was the last time a week went by with NO gay stuff in the comic?
not complaining though, i love man on man as much as the next gay, but this seriously is starting to have more gay content than most of the “gay” comics i read. much better written than most gay content comics too…
So… i am not one to beat around the bush so are you also one who dislikes beating around the bush?
let’s get things straight, are you?
(i know he isn’t i just wanted to use those lame puns and i forgot to go to sleep so it is 7:50AM and i am still awake shitposting on the internet)
Considering there’s only, like, one confirmed straight character the abundence of gay stuff shouldn’t be much of ashock.
God dammit it. GET BACK WITH ROBIN!!!
“Rebel against THIS”
They make a cute couple.
No, I don’t care about this person you call Robin.
Isn’t the fact she’s stuck around to get close to Leslie, meaning that she’s only there to be liked? I mean, before that, she wanted to quit.
Willful? No see, willful would be okay Leslie. It’s the vulgar language, complete disregard for the feelings of others, the lack of amusing behavior and the fact Malaya acts like a bitch that turns people off to her.
And technically, wasn’t Leslie was draw to Robin long before she burned all the bridges around her and turned herself into a complete outcast. She was in love with Robin since day one, where Robin was using her as a prop to trick Ethan.
“Drawn to sexy rebels”
Her first crush was princess lea >.>
You know I didn’t think about that at all, but now that you brought it up I think that connection made my day. Well done, sir.
I was going to say “Where did fuckface go?” but then I saw he was on Leslie’s box
Bow-chika-bow-wow.
must stop reading… About to catch up with the current… must be strong… must resist…
clicks next*
I can’t believe anyone said it…
“Dat ass” on panel 7…
