Indeed.
Obviously Quinn sending Alex out to pound the pavement is now coming back on her, as well as her isolating behavior. I actually cut out a few comics from the storyline establishing that Ellie doesn’t have a car herself, hence, Alex didn’t ask her for a ride in the previous strip.
Ohh, she should call her insurance company for a tow. Being she lives there, she should probably be aware just how many serial killers come from our state. Always said that part of the fun of living here is not knowing how you will die. :D
As many young adults, she may be floating without insurance. It can be assumed by this point she’s fairly broke. =)
I’m loving the shout-out to the Fighting Quakers, here. And I have definitely had this moment, although in my case it was more that my friends were in other states than that I didn’t have any. My sympathies for Quinn, here.
I’ve been stranded in other states as well. Absolutely not fun.
I hope Quinn meets a previous character on her ride home, perhaps one who is with dog and without sight.
That would certainly be a coincidence!
The temperament that wins out between ‘fighting’ and ‘pacifists’ is going to determine whether you get a cease and desist letter.
“WHY I OUTTA… nahhhhh, it’s okay.”
I looked up the school because I was wondering if that was their motto. Artistic license I suppose, and I really think that it fits Quinn almost to a “T.”
A friend in need’s a friend … indeed? Shoulda signed up with AAA.
lol. $60/yr > friends.
Don’t forget, you have to pay for the AAA membership before you can get the insurance. However, parental choice was already mentioned.
I just want to say I’m a newbie and absolutely savored your web-site. Youre really an outstanding artist. Thanks a bunch for doing these.
I’ve just scanned the comments, and I’m kind of wondering. . who’s paying for her car, does Quinn have a job, is purple her color, will Alex ever work on “Jeopardy”, and if Quinn’s dad is covering for the apartment, why not cover her car insurance as well.
But then, there are somethings that a parent will take care of and will not take care of, and that is on a parent by parent basis.
This is all information coming up. I was going to cover more so how broke she is later, but with so much concern over why she simply doesn’t tow her car, I’ll probably have to squeak that in the next strip. Not simply for you Pat, but anyone reading these.
Shotgun Shuffle will be notorious for not giving everything away to begin with. The character’s have back stories, and reasons they do things that will always be explained later. I usually don’t give the characters quirks without planning the reveal of it for later.
I can understand that. Forgive me if I comment so much, I just love this strip. I may not have been here from day one, but from the first day I read it, I’m a solid fan. Just don’t try to switch me from high speed to low speed without a Filet O’Squid with a goil attached. =D
Heck, any girl paying attention to me without having to take my drink order will trip me up enough to stall me out worse than Quinn’s car. Yah, school sucks, and sometimes it is hard when you don’t have two quarters to rub together.
But we do know that part of the backstory is that Quinn’s former roommate was a friend that she liked who was a free-loader. Not a front loader, just a free loader.
You don’t comment too much. Don’t be silly.
May I ask what Heather would say?
Great job on the car’s interior by the way!!
Haha. Thanks. I just tried to visualize the interior of my Cobalt, even though her car’s some kind of purple Buick Lesabre.
I am completely baffled by the buildings at the school. What do the ‘collum’ like pieces do?
Eh, just overthinking on my part.

What in the hell, that is exactly what it looks like in real life.
Bizzare.
I didn’t overthink this enough.
I thought that it was a weird football stadium.
Guess this means we can add ratches to the list of Florida’s invasive species!
I wonder if we can get the pythons to eat them…
tut tut. I’m sure that the EPA will prevent any changes being made to that cooler, thus ensuring that ratches are a newly listed endangered species.
Makes the court battle between the EPA and the local county health board seem interesting, don’t it? Larry for the Feds, Moe for the State and Curly as the judge. Oh, and Shemp is the bailiff.
The fighting pacifists is the best school motto I’ve ever seen!

(Heather get’s credit for that joke…)
Holy crap, are you in Lakeland, or did you just use FSC for a joke?
It’s my hometown. Moved with my job out of state about 3 yrs ago.
Sweet, me too! Grew up right across from Southgate. Love the strip!
