WCDT Strips 3286 to 3290 (15-19 August 2016)

<< < (5/42) > >>

BenRG:
One of the problems with alcohol in large enough quantities is that it basically turns an adult into a spoiled pre-teen who wants it all and wants it now and will fly into a violent rage if he or she doesn't get it. That's why bars tend to need people like Elliott and probably it's also why Brun kept a harpoon under her own bar counter.

At this point, I just want to note that: "So... Um... You like Kiki's Delivery Service?" is one of the cutest attempted ice-breaker lines in the strip to date. I wonder if Elliott is really interested in Brun or if he's just trying to be polite, friendly and welcoming (something that is entirely in-character for him)?

I'm guessing that he didn't want to upset Brun or give her the wrong impression about him by telling her that he got involved in a violent incident. However, I think that he would be surprised how phlegmatic she would have been about it.

Additionally, I don't think he was proud about how much damage he did to the door in that collision!

The reason why the bottle breaks in the movies are that the bottle is probably made from crystalline sugar which break very easily.

There is a long history of actors and stuntmen being seriously injured and even killed because they were hit with real beer bottles rather than sugar-glass replicas.

Squiddlywinx:
Lady in the background of panel 3 is my new fave character. I really hope she gets more screentime and joins the main cast.

sitnspin:
In my experience bottles do not break very easily when applied to the human body. Hitting someone in the head with a bottle is more likely to just thump and cause blunt force trauma than shatter the bottle. Glasses, on the other hand, do shatter on skulls. The shape of a bottle is partially self-reinforcing. A glass's open top makes it much less structurally sound. And, yes, breaking someone's nose is a very smart opening salvo in a fight. I'm not a large person, I primarily rely on speed and training in fights to survive, especially against larger targets, which most of them are. Broken noses are extremely painful and disorienting. In a fight you should be trying to end it as quickly as possible. Actually knocking someone out is very difficult. Any single blow hard enough to render someone unconscious is very likely to cause serious head trauma. Crippling strikes, like breaking a nose or damaging joints, is a much wiser move than attempting to knock them out cold.


I apparently get into way too many bar fights for a 50kg girl.

Gyrre:
Sounds like that "door" flew off it's hinges.

hedgie:
Why do I think in this case that the gentle giant was more of a splatter[1] than a bouncer.

[1] A splatter uses more force.
