Instead of walking across the ground and climbing the wall, she needs to learn how to levitate so she can follow the hypotenuse of that right triangle.
Use a Hook of Dissonance so that you just teleport to wherever the grappling hook attaches. Nobody can tell whether or not you traveled in a straight line.
That looked extraordinarily cheesy, and I love it. Like, first the dude cautions him about the bomb being extra deadly on an elevator, like, what? Then the elevator gets stuck because the little girl pushed the stop button and somehow they can’t just un-stop it? Then the dude makes a terrorist joke? Now everyone has blood on them? Why? It never even explains WHY the guy had a bomb in the first place! What even IS this?
I don’t even want to watch it, because I feel like getting the context would ruin the magic of that trailer and absolutely BONKERS it is!
One time in freshman year Spanish class, this girl (who was not so good at Spanish) responded to the teacher’s question with, “Yes. No. Maybe. I don’t know.” And then this other kid in class sang out “Can you repeat the question?”
In my preferred version of what happened next, the entire class burst into song. In reality, maybe three of us half-sang a couple more lines.
Ever seen white pumpkins? That’s what’s left after regular pumpkins have been drained of their spice by illegal poachers. FIGHT BACK!! DEMAND ONLY ETHICALLY-SOURCED PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES!!
Naked Danny walks out of shower, expecting only Joe.
Sal sees naked Danny.
Sal gets horny.
They still go to East Studio, with its soundproof walls.
Sal about to test Danny’s vaunted cunnilingus skills, Slipshine getting likely.
i’m not sure how high up it is but i’m surprised there’s enough diff textures ‘jutting’ out for her to get a good hold onto even with gloves/parkour skills
Are we heading towards that classic manga situation where Sal will see Danny arriving wearing only a towel and blush, Danny see Sal see him and blush and everything becomes an awkward silence broken only by a salty joke from Joe..? Not bad! Sal don’t seem to like the idea of waiting, is she afraid Joe will going into an apprehensive mother-style interrogation or is she just afraid that she likes Danny too much? Let’s hope to see them playing in that music pratice room.
Wouldn’t Joe be savvy enough to realize that when Sal is waiting in the room for a semi-naked Dan to return, being a proper bro means suddenly deciding that he needs to go to the library *right now* for an extended study session?
Sal becoming forcing herself to be a regular normie despite it going against every single one of her instincts. Her original plan was to ride her motorcycle straight through the window and stop in an Akira slide. Not enough space? Her coolness bends time and space.
I’m glad that Sal’s good at climbing buildings, because in real life this would be pretty dangerous if she slips and falls. Especially in winter when there could be snow or ice on parts of the building.
Sal has been mad at her mom ever since she chose Walky to be on that video instead of her. I’d really like to hear her Mom’s side of the story. Of course, I’m assuming there is another side to the story. Maybe it really was just because Sal is darker than Walky.
It isn’t just that, in general Sal feels Linda favors Walky, and even Walky has acknowledged it, even if his initial reasoning was different from Sal’s.
It was on this day that I managed to fully catch up on every strip from both dumbing of age and It’s Walky! (currently working through Shortpacked! to complete the set). Also I love how no matter the universe, Sal is still incapable of understanding how doors or elevators work. Hence why even the bike she rides has no doors to ensure they don’t get in the way of her rule of cool;
Loading ...
Look, Sal happened to learn the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, why you gotta be hatin’, Joe

Have you heard the word of our lord and saviour: Grappling Hook
More evidence that Sal is Amazi-Girl.
If there’s one thing Worms: Armageddon taught me, it’s that grappling hooks don’t pull you in a straight line.
Gosh darn force vectors. So inconsiderate.
You play Worms? Awesome!!! 😃
Use a Hook of Dissonance so that you just teleport to wherever the grappling hook attaches. Nobody can tell whether or not you traveled in a straight line.
If Sal wants to live in an assassin’s Creed game, let her!
OK now I HAVE to make a stealth game with her! 😃
YES PLEASE
makes me think of those flash games where you dodge stuff so maybe a climbing walls kinda thing lol
A wall-climbing video game has already been made. See the 1980s arcade game “Crazy Climber” by Nichibutsu (released in North America by Taito).
doesn’t mean one with sal wouldn’t still be a fun parody lol
Sal just has shower Danny on the brain doesn’t she.
Also Sal, get Danny’s phone number or something by now.
I know *I* have shower Danny on the brain lmao.
“Shower Danny on the brain”? What does that mean?
It’s implying that she would have imagined Danny in the shower and found it hot.
Sal is real scared of being rejected by Danny I guess?
She’s scared of being seen to care too much, because it’s been used against her.
Right, vulnerability has been punished more than once by her mother and others.
She’s afraid of being lied to or gaslit or preached at with conspiracy theories, and doesn’t want to get anywhere near his bunk.
Context?
Puns need context?
Sorry, I just didn’t get the pun. Wasn’t sure of the reference.
Elevators. She’s afraid of elevators.
She’s right to be afraid of those death boxes.
I remember the scene with the faulty elevator in “Hotel”, the 1967 movie based on the book by Arthur Hailey.

Hovertext POV: the ledges and handholds are slippery with ice
(probably cursed)
You’re not the boss of me now! 🎵
And you’re not so big! 🎵
😆
Life is unfair~~

For what it’s worth, the real version still sounds cool 🙂
And as I look the title banner has Sal, Danny and Joe all in various states of PSL. Welcome to that time of year.
PSL?
Pumpkin spice latte?
https://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/PSL
“Perverse Sexual Lust.” It was a very common acronym on the It’s Walky! message boards back in the Keenspot/Nighstar days.
Well, that’s just Joe’s default state. Doesn’t really count.
Ah. Thank you.
…Pumpkin Spice Latte?
Dangit, it *is* the beginning of September…
Ever seen white pumpkins? That’s what’s left after regular pumpkins have been drained of their spice by illegal poachers. FIGHT BACK!! DEMAND ONLY ETHICALLY-SOURCED PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES!!
Port St. Lucie? Pumpkin Spice Latte? Puahate Sluthate Lookism? Private Storyline? Paid Sick Leave? Help me out.
Sooner or later those wall are going to be slick with ice or snow or DAMMIT DANIEL!
*reads hovertext*
And now I have the malcom in the middle theme stuck in my head
Thanks Willis/s
I said damn you willis as i started humming the theme song myself.
I’m happy to see people getting this reference.
Please tell me Danny and Sal are forming a band, I neeeeed it
I love the side of Sal that Danny brings out, I really, truly do.
Naked Danny walks out of shower, expecting only Joe.
Sal sees naked Danny.
Sal gets horny.
They still go to East Studio, with its soundproof walls.
Sal about to test Danny’s vaunted cunnilingus skills, Slipshine getting likely.
So was Danny naked in the hall or did he immediately drop the towel when he entered the room?
I do like to imagine Danny and Joe hang out naked in the dorm but Danny doesn’t seem the type. Ready to be proved wrong though.
This comic strip rather seems to prove you right:
https://www.dumbingofage.com/pajamas-2/
Don’t you discourage her, Joe! Sal likes the windows. They remind her of her better times at boarding school.
i’m not sure how high up it is but i’m surprised there’s enough diff textures ‘jutting’ out for her to get a good hold onto even with gloves/parkour skills
I think there’s a tree
“You’ve got an open window and Ah’m gonna use it.”
“Don’t telll me what to do, I’ll only what not to do even more!” *shoves jellybeans up nose*
Joepunzel, Joepunzel, lay down… nvm
stop telling sal to not be sal.
The elevator doesn’t suit her idiom.
That’s why they called Sal “Spyder” (yeah, that’s right, with an “y“) in the joint, Joe.
Cause she… Likes to climb shit.
re: alt text: Joe is still pretty big though
Compromise: take the stairs
I just adore Joe when he’s exasperated.

Goota pratice to keep in shape :muscle:
I guess she COULD use the stairs, but that’d be absolutely barbaric.
I don’t ever remember reading what Sal’s major is, that she would require a music practice room.
What’s she taking at the university?
Sal is in fact a music major, although she was undeclared for most of the comic’s run so far
Undeclared? https://www.dumbingofage.com/2021/comic/book-11/05-as-long-as-its-free/garaged/
Have we seen that music room before? I’m thinking of…Sayid and Brian?
Sal becoming forcing herself to be a regular normie despite it going against every single one of her instincts. Her original plan was to ride her motorcycle straight through the window and stop in an Akira slide. Not enough space? Her coolness bends time and space.
She’s given up on the bike for now, remember. Too expensive to keep on campus.
Her next thought was to do exactly the same thing on her bicycle.
Que Malaya: “Ooooh, too cool for elevators, are you?”
Sal: “FINE, I’ll ride the elevator.”
Malaya: “Oooooh, too cool for climbing, are you?”
This, but unironically
One day we shall see Sal take the lift.
I’m glad that Sal’s good at climbing buildings, because in real life this would be pretty dangerous if she slips and falls. Especially in winter when there could be snow or ice on parts of the building.

I know that Billie can’t distinguish the realmAmazi-Girk, but will she learn the truth aboht Sal being Spider-Woman?
Maybe she just doesn’t want to deal with you being a dipshit for another 10 minutes, Joe.
