Invisible Scarlet O'Neil 6/13-15/40





I've been thinking pretty much this exact thing about this strip's premise. If you're just invisible, with no other abilities or self-preservation, you're probably going to get hit by a lot of cars and people walking around and stuff.

There was some family hero show I remember from years ago called No Ordinary Family where the mom had superspeed. Awesome, cool. So she was racing around finding bad guy poo poo out and escaping and...never wore a loving mask because why would she need a mask or way to hide herself?

I think I remember an old X-files episode like that. Guy got turned invisible and the first thing he did was run across the road in front of a car.

Scarlet is pretty good. The right mix of old timey super powered insanity and an actual bit of realistic grounding so far.

I'm extremely irritated that this is basically the only time we've ever seen Ed express a sincere, spontaneous interest in physical fitness and his wife is making GBS threads all over him because she believes, simultaneously, that pole vaulting is disproportionately dangerous compared to other physical activities and also that it's a dumb sport for babies.

It's because the only "eight six" Ed cleared in college was a stack of cheeseburgers.

I'm of two minds here. It would be irresponsible for a man in his early-to-mid 50's to go from "completely sedentary" to "extremely intensive physical activity" on a whim.

But also:


His wife's response is "For even entertaining that idea I will divorce you" because Dustin isn't just written like a sitcom, it's written like a bad sitcom with an icy, dark heart.

He has been shown whining at a personal trainer in the gym and the strip went through an extended period promoting peloton, so it wouldn't be 0-60. They'd need to get him to the point where he run before he can vault anyway. He'd have to spend a year or more just getting to the point he can attempt a launch.

Exactly. It's a sitcom where every female character is a joyless shrew who exists just to mock, criticize, or reject the male characters.

I hate it when romances do that.

Remember when we were the ones having adventures and falling in love? Eh? Eh?"

I mentioned it in the last thread but something I really hate about Crankshaft is that there's a streak of "Only My Sports Fandom is Pure" running through it that rears its head from time to time. We're getting a whole week of it here with these two schlubs watching a football game where every gag is "Too many penalties! Too much tech!
