In Security by Bea R. for September 16, 2019

In panel#3 I could swear she skewered his ankle! I wonder if Bea would ever show such a serious injury on the strip?

I’m not sure where the neighbor’s house is in relation to everyone else’s.

A Little Help, Please? ✨

For those who missed it (… kind of belatedly buried within a string of replies) here’s a link to – I think – the EC Comics story that was referenced on Saturday …

I actually know quite a few girls who would react like this if you took their candy! However I don’t know if they’re as good at the “javelin throw” as Michaela! XD

So the old lady does care! Or she just doesn’t want alien blood on her property, either way she’s showing more concern for Sam than his “best friend” Roy!

Kill the Wabbit!

And why do you suppose it was a monster who stole your candies?!.

Did… she just skewer his foot?!

Saturday these nosy neighbors were going to call the police, today (Monday) they’re calling an ambulance! Who will they be calling tomorrow?!

This has gone pear shaped, who knew that Michaela is a potential javelin champ?

Pretty good hurl for a kid…

That’s going to leave a mark.

She is like totally channelling Mary Sue from Yojo Senki!

I know it’s a comic, I know he’s supposed to be a bit of a sleaze and an idiot, but Roy just shot blanks at his best friend’s head at point blank range. That is NOT okay. The imagery is downright disturbing. In 2017, 39,773 people died from gun-related injuries in the United States (Citation: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/16/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/). I understand this is fantasy, it’s a comic strip. But this? It isn’t funny. People playing with firearms aren’t a source of humor, they’re a source of tragedy.
