The Kickstarter has passed two goals, and we’re now on goal three: $28k to print Roomies! Book 2! (I may have to move that goal up to $30k so I can print more-than-originally-intended copies of Dumbing of Age Book 1, since response has been craaaazy.)
I am at Phoenix Comicon RIGHT NOW! I’m tabling with Rob DenBleyker of Cyanide and Happiness in Artist Alley at table 649.
nothing sexual huh? So no Faz. A rule I fully support by the way.
She’s an intelligent person, surely she jests.
So bananas up the tailpipe is Ultra-Car’s kink huh?
The more you know!
I always said he wasn’t a “plug-in hybrid”.
You’re not gonna fall for the banana in the tailpipe? It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this – “Look, man, I ain’t fallin’ for no banana in my tailpipe!” See, that’s more natural for us. You been hanging out with this dude too long.
And a flawless Beverly Hills Cop quote nets you 10,000 internets!
Also, welcome to the internets where the rules are made up and the points don’t matter.
Girlfriends? Faz has more than just Fen? I guess carrying a torch for Amber held him back all those years.
naw, she’s saying noone is alowed to have sex with their creepy girlfriend. She can’t single Faz out by saying it’s him. It’s worker/manger confidentiality.
Considering everything that goes on there I figured protocol went out the window years ago, but then again Leslie has never been in charge… and come to think of it Faz has never had a girl to have sex with so I guess it’s new territory.
Um, she singled out Rick. Then again, no one likes Ninja Rick.
Faz as a ladies man? This must be some kind of Bizarro SP!
Ugh…do I have to show you the Graph that shows how much of a ladies man Faz is?
NOOOOO anything but THAT!
“As you can see, the arrow is pointing up.”
…like his penis…
Like Faz’s MIGHTY penis.
“Boner. Boner boner. Boner boning a boner. Boner boner. Erect penis.”
Yeah, this immediately jumped out at me. The mere fact that there could be ONE girl willing to sex up Faz is unlikely enough.
Two would be like getting struck by lightning but being saved because a meteorite got in the way, and you ducked under it accidentally while picking up a wining lottery ticket, and the number on it just happens to be the phone number of that girl back in high school you always wanted to ask out but never got the courage until just now.
The amount of weird kinky scenes at the store is actually pretty high, so you cannot really blame Leslie for being generic to force everyone to follow that rule.
Anyone remeber that one incident with Ethan, Willis, Robin and syrup?
The storyline we will NOT get next week: Galasso announces he needs volunteers to head up the Sort Crew for the opening of a new store in…”Gotham“.
Leslie takes all the fun out of it! *pouts*
What disturbs me is that apparently Amber allowed all of that.
maybe amber wants robin to bribe leslie cuz she wants them to get back together so Robin can get the fudge out of her house
and simply doesn’t want ninja rick to hit her with a plastic sword
and have you ever tried to stop your half-brother from having sex on the desk…it’s very awkward for all involved
Amber is currently gestating Mikespawn. She’s in no position to criticize anyone’s sex life.
Listen up Maggots! Leslie’s about to explain the pecking order. There’s the dirt, the worms in the dirt, Leslie’s stool, Galasso, then Leslie.
Any Questions?
Yeah umm- *gets knocked into the shark-pool*
Now I want you all arranged in order of sexual prefference. I want it Gay-Gay- Straight- Faz- Straight- Gay- Straight.
Les… I think you’ve gone mad with power.
of course she’s gone mad with power! have you ever gone mad without power!? It’s boring; No one listens to you!
wait… WHAT??
tailpipes? bananas? what??
Not familiar with the classics, eh?
Here you go.
If you want to criticize someone for not being familiar with the classics, you have to link the right video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGbgAisf6_c
The end of that episode is pretty much the best thing ever.
“Who’s driving? Oh my God, bear is driving, how can that be?!”
Yep, the first thing that came to mind when I read the last panel was anime Judge Reinhold and Eddie Murphy trying to stick bananas up a giant anime rat’s patootie. I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing.
So why would Ninja Rick equate Malaya with Rita Repulsa? I can only assume her voice sounds like Barbara Goodson screeching at the top of her lungs.
“These nerds are giving me a headache!”
Oh Leslie now what is everyone going to do when they get to work?
…She… wants them to work, doesn’t she? This is going to be a week of nothing but actual work with no crazy hijinks, isn’t it?!
Willis! You’ve gone crazy! Someone stop him!
only a week for maternity leave? yikes.
i’m hoping we don’t see anything going on in the store until amber returns. and by then, leslie will have become some maniacal dictator. basically like galasso, only more imposing.
Better keep all bases covered before.
Yayyyy baby! When will we get to see the baby?
When it bursts out of Amber’s chest, runs across the room and kills the doctor.
“Take off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Hold on a second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
They can bill me!
THE John Hurt moment!
Is Leslie blushing slightly as she’s doing this? Or is she getting “hot and bothered” contemplating all this naughty activity?
They’re colored a little darker then usual, but Leslie always has those cheek spots. I ASSUME that’s what you’re talking about…?
Yes, that’s right. Checking the cast page and a few archived comics, I see you are correct. In fact almost all the SP! have cheek spots. So I stand corrected.
Still it is more amusing to imagine that Leslie is getting stimulated by all the hanky-panky at the store!
At this point, I can’t help but thing Leslie’s become desensitized to it.
I can’t help but feel that Leslie’s statement is also a challenge to the reader base and maybe even Mr. Willis himself.
However I know a lot of people who would rather ship than breathe so…
To Quote Will & Grace: “A Sexual Harassment Lawyers could drop some pamphlets there and retire.”
I want to start a meme where I stick Faz’s speech balloon in panels of other webcomics.
This needs to be a thing like, yesterday
Unrelated to the current comic, but I just note that I’ve been really digging Shortpacked even more since Ken and Mayala have joined the cast. I’m a long time Willis comic reader and part of that is because of the awesome character dynamics. Ken and Mayala really add a great chemistry and balance things out. So yeah, I dig them.
How long before she breaks all of her rules?
I give her twenty minutes before she dresses up as Leia and seduces herself.
So no long car rides huh??? I can just imagine the hospital now…Mikes first words to his small child… Oh gawd
I am displeased as well. I want to see more Wen and Faz
Ehh, just because Leslie’s banning hanky-panky at the store, that doesn’t put a ban on Wen (or anyone) actually appearing in the comic.
Yes, she has merely banned them from having sex. They could still talk about having sex, with graphs.
Wait…Ninja Rick is a Power Rangers fan? Well there were two seasons where they were Ninja’s.
Boy is he going to have a problem when Gokaiger is adapted.
i expect ninja rick to be a fan of all sentai, regardless of ninja theme.
Is it sad I’m glad I’m not the first one to post that I knew that reference?
I saw what you did there with the Power Ranger reference.
HERE WE GO!
Ethan and Ken will get in trouble for making out at work.
Seriously Willis, give Ethan a good relationship.
I like how Leslie gets to be assistant manager despite being one of the newer employees (compared to Mike, Ethan, Amber, Robin, and Faz). Good for her, moving up in the world.
Would you trust your store to any of the other cast members? Leslie gets to be assistant manager by being one of the only even remotely sane choices.
No I would not. Leslie’s clearly the best choice, though Ethan wouldn’t be bad (then again, he HAS been assistant manager before, and we all know how that turned out). Though assistant manager Robin might be entertaining.
