“You wouldn’t like me when I’m concerned” – Macho Man
“I find myself experiencing a consternation which shall not abate until the present situation is rectified OHH YEAHH” – Macho Man Randy Savage
“Hmmm … I just realized, you’ve now seen my face … THAT has me concerned …”
I’m still sure that many wouldn’t recognize him after a shave and a hair cut.
But then he’d lose his superpowers!
As proven by Dr. McNinja, a mustache like that isn’t just for show.
He could grow it back whenever he wanted through sheer willpower.
TWO BITS!
…sorry, reflex.
When you think about it, this does sound like a poorly laid trap. “If someone come looking for me, tell them exactly where I’m going to be.”
It could also just be that the person has gone lunatic, in which case I would be gravely concerned too, because, well crazy persons are often more dangerous than sane persons.
For example, a sane person would not attack JJ without at least 500 meter distance or heavy vehicles, a crazy person would go after him with a baseball bat, a tire iron or a steak knife. (Or a very desperate person.)
What, like swinging the desperate person as a weapon?
That’s what’s scary about crazy people; Whatever they intend to do, they’re deeply committed to do it. If you’re lucky, they get “committed” before they can do it…
It’s said that crazy people are the most dangerous. Professionals are predictable(“you magnificent , I read your book!”), and thus can be prepared for. Crazy people can come out of nowhere when you are unprepared.
Pretty much how I expected this to go down.
(… And I hope Shanna hasn’t been delayed…if JJ gets there before she does, he might think Joel’s played him.)
Now JJ, did ya have to go that way about getting Joel to talk? Should start off more friendlier than that, maybe buy a few books off of him, get him at ease, then ask him. Use sly threats if he does not produce if step one does not work.
He offered to help carry the books inside, like a friendly passerby, if he offered to buy books he would appear as either a stalker who followed him home or someone worse
I think, this is roughly how ~ 70% of all of his Information gatherings proceed.
You just give the Information to because he
A: is build like a brickwall, a brickwall with a bricktower in the middle.
B: has very stylish facial hair and nobody messes with that moustache, even, or especially, in combination with that horsetail haircut.
Nooooo, don’t kill Joel! I read his strip sometimes, when Willis links to it anyway!
So, who is Joel anyhow? The actual person, that is.
There may be a better answer to this shortly, but in the meantime: Joel is the author of Hijinks Ensue.
What I want to know is….where is his bicycle with the really big front wheel and tiny rear wheel?
It’s called a penny-farthing :)
And it’s more like a unicycle with a training wheel than a bicycle.
Wait so this is the guy that Carol hired to find Shanna? I’d thought he was… smaller.
TRY TO SELL HIM YOUR BOOKS, JOEL!
Market them as “potential blunt instruments for information gathering.” This dude seems to have a thing for being obtuse about being an obvious hitman, so that wording will TOTALLY be RIGHT up his alley! You could even autograph a few of them, make the offer more tempting!
If life is so much better when people help people…
Is he still going to help carry all those books back into the house?
Why not? It will also give him an excuse you survey the interior of the house incase he has to return
I assure you, you do not get arms like that by ignoring any chance to get in some lifting.
If Joel’s family sees JJ, that would make them loose ends that might need to be tied up.
I’m worried he’s still going to kill Joel even despite giving the info he wants.
He doesn’t strike me as the “trail of bodies” type. Bloodbaths tend to draw the kind of attention that makes the job difficult.
That’s probably the only comforting thought I have right now.
What a dick, he put the heavy comics box lower down on the ground. Thanks, pal.
He did that to take the address from Joel, jerk
People keep complaining about that, but really, I’d rather pick something up from the ground than from inside a trunk – one is a straight lift, which the human body does REALLY well, and the other is decidedly not, which can and does cause major back problems.
JJ’s one classy good, reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKSnRkARktk
*goon ffs
Not wanting to be the guy who talks tough on the internet.
But everyone does realize that one bullet and all that meat is no more?
Of course Shanna isn’t trained for that sort of thing, coolness under duress, and plucky as she may be it is a different knack.
But just saying, if you wanted to deal with a guy like this, get him to go to a certain location, then kill him in an ambush.
Hey it worked just fine in the old west, and in different forms all over the world in different eras.
But that doesn’t seem what Shanna is all about.
A large caliber bullet, maybe, but “all that meat” will quite effectively stop many civilian caliber bullets with no loss of combat ability for FAR too long for the shooter to care.
People can and do die from a single gunshot wound… and people can and do take 10+ shots and walk politely to the hospital under their own power, in some cases after dealing with the shooter themselves, first. I’d rather have a firearm than not, no question about that, but anything short of a serious combat weapon would not be worth the risk of ambushing a large, strong person with.
Someone who is high enough (on drugs or adrenaline) will not be stopped by anything short of being physically unable to continue (destruction of the hip, for instance) or destruction of the primary nervous system (spine or brain). They may indeed lay down and die 30 seconds from now, but 30 seconds is an ETERNITY when it comes to dealing fatal wounds in close combat. “Center of mass” shots from the front seldom do either of those.
I hate to get into a gun discussion, but I doubt many people will walk away from a direct hit from 12 gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot.
At close range? Yeah, that’s pretty potent (the power drops off FAST with distance, though).
However, the same rules still apply, even then – destruction of capability or destruction of nervous system. It would have a better chance than smaller stuff of either of those happening, of course.
A 12-guage with a slug in it would be even better, actually. That will just ruin your whole day.
Wait, your mental model of Shanna is willing to kill? Then why does she want to bring the company to justice for, in her mind, killing the 5. Why didn’t she just kill Carol when they met?
Shanna only makes sense with scruples.
She bought a gun. One presumes she is planning to use it for its intended purpose.
For defense, not murder
Guns are meant to kill people. Buying a gun shows that she has accepted the possibility that she may have to kill people to save her own life.
Guns don’t have a stun setting. Yet.
Just noticed, he has a very similar hairstyle to Ardaic
The real question is – will Big Guy buy one of the comic books to show his gratitude?
Nope. Unless he wants to intimidate Joel further, by showing him that he’s not afraid of having evidence that would lead straight back to Joel. Even then, he’d probably toss it in the next dumpster he saw.
