Go Amber! If only more people were as self-aware (and selfless) as you are. I understand the biological imperative and social pressure create a strong pull, but we gotta think for ourselves if we want to make it to the next century.

To those talking about getting pregnant: please adopt. Please. We won’t run out of orphans any time soon, I promise. Don’t be selfish and insist that the baby has to have your genes and/or come out of your womb. Help a child in need instead.

But a baby is proof that Willis is preparing It’s Walky/Shortpacked – The Next Generation/New Generation.
Just imagine. In some years, Dannys’ kid will be old enough to babysit the kids that will be born in the next few years.

Looks like Ethan just got hit with the “shit, my friends are having kids and I still spend all my time collecting plastic robots, maybe Drew was right” hammer.

Reading this comic has me feeling like I’m reading the final season of Shortpacked. Like all the story lines are coming together, people are growing up and getting ready to move on. I love Shortpacked and hope this isn’t the case, but it does feel like things are winding down.

Whether or not there’s already a child being a good parent comes after the decision to… you know, be a parent.

It doesn’t seem to have been a question for Amber, but I do think the statement that if she had taken a moment after this was thrust upon her to consider her own needs it would reflect poorly on her is just terribly unfortunate.

And you know, she might still end up addressing the issue. I mean she was actively working to prevent this scenario. It might be legitimately unappealing to her.

I think Dan is more interested in Robin. Ethan fits the Jacob role better, with being the person of their group that Amber knows since most time ago (if I remember correctly). Let’s just suppose the baby is a boy (and let’s call him Damian).

Remember, Mike is an arsehole. What could be more arseholish, than to screw up a kid? Or use that kid to piss off others?

I regard this strip as further proof that Leslie and Malaya are not meant to be. Leslie cares about the people around her, she’s willing to listen, she’s happy for them when they’re happy and concerned for them when they’re not. Robin cares about her friends, too, even if she cares about herself a little more. But Malaya is hateful and doesn’t care about any of these people. We can’t expect her to have bonded with everyone yet, I realize. But she’s bitchy in a way that’s worse than Mike. Mike is upfront about being a total jerk, and he is this way with everyone. Malaya is a jerk, but she’s trying to act like whatever she thinks will attract Leslie. I think Leslie is smart enough to see this and decide from there if Malaya is worth pursuing anymore.
