Welcome to Wapsi Square Fashion Show…
At least Bud found a way to give herself a new hairstyle…
But I don’t think that she likes the make-up… put on too quick
Troll Doll. But I don’t think she needed to be that modest in front of Brandi. Of course it is funnier with the steel suit. At least we know she didn’t poit out at the last min.
Is it strange that i reply to other comments before making my own post? I noticed I do that a lot and its even spreading to facebook….
Also Ouch, if her bathing suit was caught in the blast, and Bud didn’t put that around herself, then she would have some major breast pains right about now….
…if she wan’t invulnerable….
Not strange at all. 🙂 That’s what I do. I go through all of the comments and make my replies before deciding if I want to make my own stand-alone comment. Keeps me from repeating what’s been said.
Not unchanging anymore! Yes, Bud has now found out all she needs to do to style her hair (It goes up! She’d fit in well in Gunnerkrigg Court!) so be at ground zero of a kiloton or so explosion…
Ach! Gunnerkrigg Court! I first start reading Wapsi Square… Love it and have to go to day one and read upt to the present… then I follow a link to Questionable Content, love it and go to beginning too, that one took awhile… then Gunnerkrigg Court… and I just got caught up there too… Dang I hate getting caught up!
And yes Budd would make a dandy elemental wouldnt she?
My second thought was wondering if the blast left her wrapped in wreckage or if she improvised because her swimsuit got blown away. My first thought is not for sharing in a PG forum LOL.
This is a PG forum? I mean, there are childs about? News to me (but then, I’m German and what I heard as a kid at home would make some US adults blush)
you’re going to have to stay up late rather than wake up early. the new comic is posted at midnight, and wapsi goers are there before the clock strikes 12:01, or in my case 2:01 since i’m in New York.
Orr..move to the Paris/Amsterdam timezone. We get the comic at 7:00. Exactly half an hour before I have to bike to work.
Pretty ideal in my book, coffee in one hand, mouse in the other and enjoy…unless Paul pulls a gag like this out of his hat. In that case my keyboard usually gets a messy shower of spilled coffee that has to be cleaned-up 😆 .
When I first looked at the header, I thought it read Share the Sushi, and I thought, Oh dear. Poor Stinky.
Then I saw it was just the word sunshine, cut off.
I think it would be more like designer free-diving wear…guaranteed to make the average human sink to the bottom faster than they could otherwise. That hard part would be getting back to the surface. 😛
Swimsuits are made for people to wear while prancing around the pool trying to impress other people, or for getting tans — it’s not like they design them to be worn in the *water*. That would be silly! XD
Did anyone notice that the blast and it’s after-effects left a pattern of what almost looks like fishnet stockings on her upper thighs? Talk about kinky! And that’s a very classic up-swept hair-do she’s got to go with the ensemble. Tres chic! Post-apocalyptic-industrial punk?
Oh my! Bud wasn’t fast enough on the *poit.* Well I hope all you guys who hoped her suit wouldn’t survive are happy; I bet you didn’t expect an explosive formed replacement, though. Paul has shown
just because you can survive an explosion intact, doesn’t mean you come away ‘clean.’ Gotta worry about the ‘object’ and Stinky yet.
Maybe Jin has some extra lines of magic code that let her adjust her hair, or maybe they all can do it and only Jin has figured how to do it yet.
Interesting how Bud has developed a sense of modesty as she has acclimated to life among humans — wearing a bathing suit, wrapping herself in debris to poit home, &c. This is, after all the girl who trapsed along the lakefront clothesfree back in ’06.
nope, she’d still do that if she had to, it’s just that physics applied to the explosion in this case. It’s more than likely since her body is indestructible, she was shot out of the sub like a cannon ball, and as a result some of the metal piping or even the wall of the sub got “explosively formed” around her.
That was my impression too. Bud doesn’t care a whole lot about “modesty”. Sadly, Paul has to abide by the strictest denominator as far as nudity goes, otherwise the comic would end-up “R-Rated”, potentially narrowing the reader-base.
To be honest, to me Bud’s lack of “modesty”(by our standards) is not too strange since she is from some ancient mediterranean civilization, and if I remember my classic Greek and Mycene history and legends well, a lot of peoples around the mediterranean did not care about covering tops and such. Many pieces of old pottery, statues and artwork had the subjects buck nekkid. It seems to have been a non-issue. Heck, even the egyptians often had their queens and ladies-in-waiting portrayed topless…..
“modesty” is a decidedly late-medieval, western catholic affliction.. 😉 .
That’s what I was saying ->“modesty”(by our standards)
We are talking a culture from the mediterranean, and the european side of it.
In medieval times no-one thought anything of men&women sharing a bath in the bath-houses. Only after the church did his mind-f*** on Europe, nudity became a problem.
Bud’s cultural upbringing is from waaaaay before that.
That so??? O_o but..how did menage a 3 do it then? Or is that connected to that rating system? i.e. Boobs in PG: end of contract, boobs in R: no problem?
*shakes uncomprehending ,continental European head* Wow..they better never try to make Sillage in a webcomic, and call it PG…….
Hrm. Look between Friday’s and today’s comic, I think Bud may have inadvertently learned how to lengthen her hair. Her new “updo” looks like it’s a lot higher (longer) than her hair on Friday. Or maybe it’s just some artistic license.
Or perhaps the girls are like those doll busts made for little girls to style hair. The hair can lenghten by pulling on it (or cranking, whatever). Maybe that’s all Jin does. Grab her hair and pulls. The explosion provided the same effect for Bud. Instead of blasting the hair off, it pulled more out. Now, how does it go back in? Is there a crank somewhere? Or is it like a window shade? Pull a bit and let it get rewound back in.
Sure, but you can’t get to the crank without opening the hatch. Cue the comedy routine when the girls start playing with the control knobs. Brandi: “Hey, what’s this one do?”
Steampunk swimwear! I like it, Bud!
Oh you son of a chimpanzee >_<. You stole exactly what I was going to write, lol.
Now i wanna know exactly what that wheel does.
Being that it’s a hatch cover? Best hook-and-eye fastener EVER! No more reaching around to undo the (insert expletive here)
The best part is Bud has total freedom of movement.
I don’t think that’s the right way to go Steampunk or even Cyberpunk. 🙂
Unless behind that door is a new portal. 😉
Knowing the eating habits of the supernatural beings in this comic, it’s more than likely a pizza portal.
OMG. I can’t stop laughing. Ah poor Bud.
Same here! My belly is starting to hurt here….
That was an impressive bang.
Missing teeth? Scorched hair?
I think we’ve encountered Roger Rabbit’s first Law of Cartoon Physics:
Or, more specifically, Bud has…
This is strange. Bud should be fine. she was at the exact-center of the explosion.
I was wondering, if they have any smoke detectors in the house? Guess we’re about to find out …
*puts fingers into ears*
Her hair!
It goes up!
http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=327 !!!
And this one. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=330
Man! She looks hot in that “tube top”!
*shakes pun donation jar*
Now that’s a bathing suit with a twist!
….I need Bud’s special lockpick… NOW.
\m/ That look if F’in METAL! \m/
More like an Industrial Music accident…
Language Girl ! If you don’t like it, Pick a different size or color.
Welcome to Wapsi Square Fashion Show…
At least Bud found a way to give herself a new hairstyle…

Troll Doll. But I don’t think she needed to be that modest in front of Brandi. Of course it is funnier with the steel suit. At least we know she didn’t poit out at the last min.
I’m not sure Bud “put it on”.
It may have applied itself…
Yeah..it looks a bit like she got “kablooi’d” into some piping by the explosion. She might be invulnerable, but physics still apply to a golem body.
Fits to well. The explosion destroyed her bathing suit, so she put together something from the available materials.
Explosive forming.
Suddenly I remember how a contractor that poured the concrete floor in our stables, cleaned the cement-mixer drum of his truck…..
Let it dry and throw a small amount of dynamite in it.. 😆 worked like a charm.
WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Now THAT’S what I had hoped for…. 😆 😆 😆
Where’s the artifact?
Right!?!?! That was my thoght as well! Where is the curiosity love???
Maybe its on the inside of that suit?
Put in a quarter, turn the crank, and see if it pops out in a plastic capsule…
Now where exactly do you expect the capsule to pop out from o.O? Those things are usually gravity fed, lol.
Not to comment on WHERE, but the Girls do seem to exercise excellent muscle control in not crushing their partners during the sex…
I’m not one to pay attention to ladies’ fashions, but since this episode brought it up, Brandi is looking good!
Hopefully she had time to toss the McGuffin into her belly hatch before boom-time, but I’m not very confident….
Oddly, this was my exact thought–maybe not first or second, but after I stopped ROFL.
And here we see the creation of “Industrial Accident Chic”
I dont know. I think bud looks a shade more tan.
could be the dust…
smoke
whats the word, grime? no… SOOT! aah yes the soot from the explosion, sticks to her like a ceramic pot over a bonfire.
More likely a coating of diesel fuel, which is more disgusting and hard to clean. Bud is going to need 2 baths to clean that off.
Can’t she just poit it off?
Probably, but where’s the fan service in that? 😛
Carbon scoring. She’s seen a lot of action. (nod, nod)
Awww, but I wanted to see some boobies!
😀
ME TOO! :/ oh well, that’s what the imagination is for right?
maybe next time, when it is isn’t so funny! XD
But I like it when boobies are funny…
Is it strange that i reply to other comments before making my own post? I noticed I do that a lot and its even spreading to facebook….

Same here!
That iron girdle may not give much support–but whatever support it does give is pretty solid. . . .
YEEEAAAAAPPP! Swimsuit didn’t survive that…
Can’t tan, well that explains things. Thanks Paul.
It’s like a “Road Runner Cartoon”
Not quite the classic “black face, hair back” look, but close enough.
Bud may have more sympathy for Wile E. Coyote., now.
“The Big Bang Theory” Bud got a bang outa that, huh!?
So, if their hair is totally impervious as well… how on earth does Jin cut hers?
Apparently, Jin can lengthen or shorten her hair, at will. Bud remarked on that, with some disgust at her own unchanging hair.
Not unchanging anymore! Yes, Bud has now found out all she needs to do to style her hair (It goes up! She’d fit in well in Gunnerkrigg Court!) so be at ground zero of a kiloton or so explosion…
Ach! Gunnerkrigg Court! I first start reading Wapsi Square… Love it and have to go to day one and read upt to the present… then I follow a link to Questionable Content, love it and go to beginning too, that one took awhile… then Gunnerkrigg Court… and I just got caught up there too… Dang I hate getting caught up!
And yes Budd would make a dandy elemental wouldnt she?
…Can I interest you in some Octopus Pie? How about Something Positive? Girls with Slingshots? Meaty Yogurt? Bwahahaha! I shall bury you!
/evil
…Punch an’ Pie? Misfile? Exiern? Mysteries of the Arcana? Evil Diva?
(I would never be so crass as to laugh evilly in print)
Linked the Up Hair in GCC above. Somehow I missed these when I prescanned the comments. :/
It’s all about will and knowhow. 🙂
My second thought was wondering if the blast left her wrapped in wreckage or if she improvised because her swimsuit got blown away. My first thought is not for sharing in a PG forum LOL.

I’m up at 6 for a comic like this and STILL the good jokes are already taken!? Curse you 9-5ers and your early schedules…
you’re going to have to stay up late rather than wake up early. the new comic is posted at midnight, and wapsi goers are there before the clock strikes 12:01, or in my case 2:01 since i’m in New York.
Stay up late? I just got off work at 23:00 CT, so by the time I change clothes and eat a bite of supper, hey, the update is in!
Orr..move to the Paris/Amsterdam timezone. We get the comic at 7:00. Exactly half an hour before I have to bike to work.
Pretty ideal in my book, coffee in one hand, mouse in the other and enjoy…unless Paul pulls a gag like this out of his hat. In that case my keyboard usually gets a messy shower of spilled coffee that has to be cleaned-up 😆 .
yes, I’ve learned to check Wapsi without any food or drink at hand, since some of the comics can get a good laugh too. 😀
GARGH! *comments not comics
What I wouldn’t give to sleep in till 6… ;D
When I first looked at the header, I thought it read Share the Sushi, and I thought, Oh dear. Poor Stinky.
Then I saw it was just the word sunshine, cut off.
Ditto
Ohhohowahahaha!! Snorted my morning tea up my nose! Love it!!!
“Hot” couture? Industrial punk?
She could probably start a line of designer swimwear based upon that!
Or not… ^.^;
I think it would be more like designer free-diving wear…guaranteed to make the average human sink to the bottom faster than they could otherwise. That hard part would be getting back to the surface. 😛
I believe it would be a “sinking” business venture.
Swimsuits are made for people to wear while prancing around the pool trying to impress other people, or for getting tans — it’s not like they design them to be worn in the *water*. That would be silly! XD
I hope that pressure fitting doesn’t buckle on her
Great laugh to start the week! Curse that strategically placed steel plate 😀 … Oh dear, we still don’t know what happened to the artifact or Stinky.
It’s a bit more than just a plate – it’s wrapped around her.
Bud’s look, somewhere between bafflement and annoyance is absolutely gold!
By the by..I wonder if that wheel opens a hatch in that metal-top.. kinkyyy
Did anyone notice that the blast and it’s after-effects left a pattern of what almost looks like fishnet stockings on her upper thighs? Talk about kinky! And that’s a very classic up-swept hair-do she’s got to go with the ensemble. Tres chic! Post-apocalyptic-industrial punk?
I was thinking it’s the new Post-Neo-Metal-Grunge look.
Wellllllllll, that is a new look for you.
Oh my! Bud wasn’t fast enough on the *poit.* Well I hope all you guys who hoped her suit wouldn’t survive are happy; I bet you didn’t expect an explosive formed replacement, though. Paul has shown
just because you can survive an explosion intact, doesn’t mean you come away ‘clean.’ Gotta worry about the ‘object’ and Stinky yet.
Maybe Jin has some extra lines of magic code that let her adjust her hair, or maybe they all can do it and only Jin has figured how to do it yet.
She wears it well!
Just like one of those Daffy / Bugs ‘toons. “Rabbit Season.Duck season.”
Or, perhaps, this…
(I just noticed for the first time that that strip happened to appear on April Fool’s Day eight years ago…
(And a long strange trip it’s been, too.)
Forgot to add the “BANG!”
“What happened to the ‘Ka-Boom’?”
…
…
…
O…kay. That’s impressive. Disappointing to those who wanted to see Bud completely au natural, but visually pretty eye-catching. AND funny.
Brandi confirms the GGG can’t tan.
Funny page, but she doesn’t seem to have the light cross-like object that was near the captain.
completely off topic, but…your gravatar is awesome.
Talk about a SUB plot; Bud’s the only girl I know who can get BLASTED, and still stay sober…
GROAN!
The ONLY one? I can think of at least three others…
damn it, where is that coin jar! ahh here it is. *SHAKES VIGOROUSLY in Chris’s face* where is your dime mister?
They’re on my dime, I threw a dollar in yesterday and couldn’t think of a pun.
*Throws another dollar in for emergencies*
pages like this are why I read this comic, Paul has a great sense of timing and knows just when to lighten the mood
Interesting how Bud has developed a sense of modesty as she has acclimated to life among humans — wearing a bathing suit, wrapping herself in debris to poit home, &c. This is, after all the girl who trapsed along the lakefront clothesfree back in ’06.
Stupid social taboos…
nope, she’d still do that if she had to, it’s just that physics applied to the explosion in this case. It’s more than likely since her body is indestructible, she was shot out of the sub like a cannon ball, and as a result some of the metal piping or even the wall of the sub got “explosively formed” around her.

“modesty” is a decidedly late-medieval, western catholic affliction.. 😉 .
The Jews developed modesty first–and I know the Japanese had modesty rules too–if rather different from the Western notions.
That’s what I was saying ->“modesty”(by our standards)
We are talking a culture from the mediterranean, and the european side of it.
In medieval times no-one thought anything of men&women sharing a bath in the bath-houses. Only after the church did his mind-f*** on Europe, nudity became a problem.

Not only that, but if he actually sjowed boobies and someone complained, PayPal might shut him off – it happened to Exiern…
That so??? O_o but..how did menage a 3 do it then? Or is that connected to that rating system? i.e. Boobs in PG: end of contract, boobs in R: no problem?
*shakes uncomprehending ,continental European head* Wow..they better never try to make Sillage in a webcomic, and call it PG…….
The latest in German Metal Fashion!
Whoa. Hot load, full metal jacket. (Sub) props to Jabberwonky for that “Bud in a can” line.
Now, whether to tell Brandi about Stinky or not.
Brandi’s lookin’ hawt.
Bud looks hotter.. C’mon..she’s actuallu ssssmokinn’
*puts dime in pun-jar*
Last panel… pure pure win! 🙂
ROFL!
Hrm. Look between Friday’s and today’s comic, I think Bud may have inadvertently learned how to lengthen her hair. Her new “updo” looks like it’s a lot higher (longer) than her hair on Friday. Or maybe it’s just some artistic license.

fdap – fdap – fdappp…
Bald golem girl.
Sure, but you can’t get to the crank without opening the hatch. Cue the comedy routine when the girls start playing with the control knobs. Brandi: “Hey, what’s this one do?”
Happy Birthday to Paul!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to Paaaaaul…
We’d die without Wapsi! (no pressure…)
And many mooorrreeee!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,PAUL.
I first read the title as “Share the Sushi” and feared for Stinky’s continued existence…. ;^)
Bud needs to channel Gilbert Gottfried with her line.
Soot, tan, tomato, tomahto.
