Jay

Okay just a shoulder shot she's fine

Kazo

I already like this guy. "Get out of my kitchen."

GPanda

Damn who was the guy who theorised about the mob doctor. You might have been right

Heatth

Back alley doctor. OK, that is good, all things considering. I am surprised Willis didn't hold on to this cliffhanger for longer.

Sajuuk-Khar

Hey hey hey it’s our new mob doctor! I love him! What’s his name?

Maybeeus

...New character?

Jeremy AR

Who the hell is this guy and why do i already love him?

C

Always good to have Doctor friends with big kitchens.

5099 5618 v2.0

(Glad i wasn't the only one who didn't recognize him)

MrShoggoth

No idea but I won’t be surprised if he wants pictures of Spider-Man as payment

Bronxden

Is this a mob doctor

Lisa

Is that Asher's grandfather?

Buck Caldwell

All the best Mob Doctors smoke Carltons.

Harold

4 out of 5 mob doctors recommend them!

HenryVolt

This whole Quote in the title walks the fine line between A-class referencing and being down right cryptive...also points to Sal for having good enough connections to find a back ally doctor.

Maude Reads Things

KITCHEN? Oh jfc Sal where did you bring her. PLEASE TELL ME THE INSTRUMENTS ARE CLEAN.

Railway Series Book Club

i love this doctor guy already, gonna be reading all his dialogue in my head in prime!Ratchet's voice

Harold

Dumbing of Age, Book 16: The Bonnie Situation

Kazo

also, in b4 this guy gets the monthly strip vote

tifani

So I won’t be getting my Walky and Amber reuniting in the hospital scene but I am getting mob doctor kitchen post surgery with Sal so yeah I’m good. This is very very good.

Lisa

I'm confused why she wouldn't have been able to walk in that case. Amber strikes me as having the combination of toughness, stubbornness, and ability to compartmentalize that she could block out the pain in order to move to safety, which she was clearly unable to do in the last strip. Did she lose too much blood because she kept fighting after getting shot? Or is that spot of blood under her back from a separate wound?

Harold

@HenryVolt: As many have speculated, it's very likely that Sal (begrudgingly) reached out to Asher, who would *definitely* have these kinds of connections.

Bad Poetry

Mike Ehrmantraut: you know this town? Cabbie : yeah. Mike: How well?

Maybeeus

Actually gonna bet it's his daddy, makes the most sense to me. Mob nepo baby that went the "straight" route and decided to become a doctor only to end up working for the mob anyway. I could be entirely wrong and this is just a bit part guy but you never know!

Heatth

Of course they are clean, I am sure he rinsed them in the sink beforehand!

Railway Series Book Club

I'm really glad Amber/Amazi-Girl and Sal are doing things again in the story btw, before the recent Joyce/Dorothy ramp-up started they were my favorite part of the comic and it's great to see them back in the spotlight.

Anna Phylaxis

it's SO convenient to know a mob doctor

Heatth

I just remembered who this guy was! He is the coroner from Fullmetal Alchemist!

Omnithea

Does Amber wake up or does Amazi-Girl?

Edwin I Callahan

My question is how Sal knows this person and how to find him? Sal hangs mostly with the Read Hall cast - none of who would be likely to know such a person. Asher is a possibility, but I don’t think they’ve reconnected enough she’d turn to him as a first choice. Marcie? We don’t know that much about her outside of her relationship with Sal, but I don’t think Willis has brought up anything about Marcie so far that would make it plausible for know such a resource.

Kelly (they-them)

He sanitized them with the same flame he used to light his cigarette, of course!

Heatth

Seriously though, if he is indeed a mob doctor he surely knows how to clean his instruments in a kitchen. You don't want to give infections to your mob clients, that is a good way to loose a finger! Like, it is obviously not as good as an actual hospital but, probably not *that* disastrous.

Lindsey Bockhorst

oh good she's alive. Amber dying of sepsis wouldn't make for a very good story imo so she's probably gonna be fine

Heatth

We haven't have much of Amazi-Girl since the timeskip really! And much of Sal have been Danny related. I am looking forward for more super-hero-type plot-lines. Now with more cop punching.

Kelly (they-them)

I really didn't think we'd get these two again today. I guess I was correct when I wrote the biggest twist would be staying with Amber/Girl and Sal. And now Amber's gonna fuggin' die. Not now. Later. To taunt us. My money is on Dr. Kitchen Doctor being Asher's father or relative. Some sort of mob connection. Sal's only got 2 degrees of separation from the Korean mob. Occam's razor and all tht

Andrea Andrew

No more death. Willis already confirmed that.

Heatth

I think it is implied grandfather is a mob boss? I like Maybeeus idea though.

Heatth

I think there is another injure in the right side of the abdomen, which would match the blood in the last strip (and the fact she couldn't walk).

Railway Series Book Club

i mean, it's been implied in the past that a lot of Sal's off-panel time is spent doing Cool Loner Sidequests, so it feels reasonable for her to pull up to somebody we've never seen before for a favor

Dan Rabin

Perhaps we will find out via further strips. As of now, we only know that Sal was able to find this person, who is practicing outside of legitimate medical channels, and that Sal is avoiding outing Amber/Amazi-Girl.

Fart Captor

"Her bloods all dirty from being left on the ground. She needs to take better care of it"

Heatth

Wait, did Sal redress her as Amazi-Girl before going to the doctor? She wasn't wearing the mask last time. And why are her costume on the chair not the clothes she was wearing previously?

Dan Rabin

Waking up is important.

Railway Series Book Club

Exactly! I'm very happy to have gotten into this comic at the same time Amazi-Girl came back in full force, because I'd have felt very impatient waiting for the story to get to where it is right now, lol

Heatth

Sal doesn't like Asher, but surely she would risk calling him if it meant saving Amazi-Girl. Probably still safer than going to an hospital. Anyway, if there is one core cast member who would know a mob doctor it would be Sal. Like, if the only explanation we got was "Sal is a cool rebel and knows cool underground shit" I wouldn't call foul. Though I do expect future strips to address this directly.

Grace Serenity

Well, we're ALL going to die, just not right now!

Maybeeus

I don't think Willis would inflict this much suffering on Amber/Amazi-Girl only to fridge her out of nowhere. She's one of the like, main leads of the story. More than anything it's just the stakes are being upped now. She spent several months on break came back and two days later started getting into fist fights with 30 cops like she was making up for lost time. She's def not in fighting shape anymore which makes me wonder if we're going to see more bizarrely well costumed internet weirdos show up with nobody around to stop them...

Grace Serenity

I think we've been through enough in the last month!

Grace Serenity

It's kind of obscured, but there is also a bandage on her right side

E

Oh no incelerator is totally gonna work with the cops

Callum

Only logical conclusion is that this is Sal’s cigarette plug (you have to be 21 to buy them now)

Harold

@Heatth: Dan Rabin, in another thread, speculates that Sal's trying to protect Amber's identity and not out her as sharing a body with Amazi-Girl. Not that Dr. Whatzisface is likely to rat her out, but the fewer people who know, the better.

Shane Wegner

It’s the same blue pants from before and the sports bra she was wearing under the shirts and coats. (Which are hanging from the chair.) The mask was maybe backup Sal took from an Amazi-Utility Pocket™️ to help with “I didn’t see her” face plausible deniability.

Maybeeus

Joyce: "Me and my GF out here living our best lives." Sal: "Amber is bleedin' to death." Joyce: "This ain't about her."

Harold

@Fart Captor: I'm hearing this in the voice of Chris Parnell as 30 ROCK's Dr. Leo Spaceman

Heatth

I can see that, though the logistics are still a bit weird. I am more curious on the doylist explanation. Like, Amazi-Girl was wearing the costume in the first place, so she changed clothes in between her last appearance last strip. But now she is in costume again. So, like, why? Why Willis decided to draw that way? I wonder if something non obvious happened in the times we haven't been seeing her.

Tessea

I presume that despite the news report, it's a gunshot wound. Otherwise Sal could have taken Amber to a regular hospital and claimed she was mugged or something.

Maybeeus

It explicitly did state no sniper shots not no gunshots period but it also seems more like she was stabbed rather than shot but i could be wrong. I feel like she would have already been dead by the time Sal found her if it was a gunshot wound from the police. I'd guess somebody hunted her down after her escape and caught her after changing and stabbed her. The stomach wound definitely makes me think it was an assault post-escape though regardless. A sniper shot would have been way messier she wouldn't be going "ow" after getting hit by one of those i would wager.

Sajuuk-Khar

that’s Dr. J. Kitchen Doctor, M.D. to you

Sajuuk-Khar

As long as he doesn’t try an “oh no, Megatron, I am your doctor of doom” with Grandpa Park

Sajuuk-Khar

I am nominating Dr. Kitchen Doctor as soon as humanly possible

Sajuuk-Khar

Given that the cops were doing their Less Than Lethal shit, it’s entirely likely it was a “nonlethal :)” round that did a lot of damage, or a tear gas canister that blew up due to being kicked and gave her a shrapnel wound, etc. There’s many ways a cop could have done this! However, yeah, I’m wrong about the sniper. I think if this was that kind of ordinance the cleanup would not be…this clean.

Sajuuk-Khar

Nah, she’s marked for “owing a favor to Grandpa Park, if she knows what’s good for her”

Jasmijn Wellner

It is also dark out, last we saw her it was full daylight. She wasn't hurt back then either. I think she got away, changed into her Amber fit and then someone jumped her when she was just out and about as Amber

Ray Fay

Eh, even if it’s not a gunshot wound, I still think Sal wouldn’t take Amber to the hospital. A student being hospitalized for an assault on campus would absolutely result in the cops being called, and they might put two-and-two together vis-à-vis Amber being the same height and build as Amazi-girl, and her involvement with the stabbing and kidnapping last semester.

Kazo

Eh, wouldn't be the first time a school tried to cover up shit.

Dan Rabin

Do I recall correctly that, in at least some jurisdictions, all gunshot wounds seen in a medical facility must be reported by law?

Dan Rabin

The previous strip was the end of a book, so it's already a cliffhanger for print readers.

Katrina Marie Paton

Willis also said NO ONE was going to die this time around didn't he? And yet the bodies have been piling up ever since.

The Deliberate Myth

Similar to Willis' thoughts on end-games... anything is true until Willis thinks of something better. So II think there could be more death among the main cast. That said... Amber seems to be a particularly favorite subject for Willis to draw, so I have a very hard time imagining Amber getting removed from the day to day cast.

The Deliberate Myth

How did I not get the HAL/IBM connection between MOB and NPC before? That's fuggin brilliant, and something I will need to drop into one of my campaigns somehow.

The Deliberate Myth

Welp... if we assume that this Dr is involved with Asher's family business... and checking the google for name etymology... his name could legitimately be Dr. Christopher "Kit" Jin (if he is Korean).

ScrimpArt

i keep forgetting that Amber is like, ripped. Walky fumbled.

Edwin I Callahan

Anybody noticed Sal’s upset enough she’s not maintaining her Tennessee accent?

Harold

Other commenters have noted Kitchen Doctor's resemblance to a character in FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

Naff

Crazy that just before this panel, all three were wearing gloves.

Naff

Clearly kitchen doctor no longer thinks it’s cool.

Nikpack

Kind of? I knew something was out of place, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Thanks for pointing it out.

Edwin I Callahan

A couple of years back, Malaya noted that the more Sal got upset, the less southern she sounded. The Sal character, when she was introduced at the beginning of Roomies, had a southern accent because she grew up in Alabama.

Maude Reads Things

Not really? She's still using 'fer' and 'y'think'. And yeah Malaya said that but usually when we see her pissed off, her accent gets thicker not less southern, so I'm pretty sure Malaya's full of shit

zee

Who the f-

Edwin I Callahan

Well, “fer” and “y’think” are Midwestern as well as southern. And Sal didn’t have a Southern accent in the flashbacks to Marcie’s attack or Sal’s attempted robbery. Anyway, Malaya often is accurate but still full of shit.

Harold

I mean, the real tell would be if Sal was saying "I" instead of "Ah," but we don't get that here. (The "I" in panel 4 is coming from Dr. Kitchendoctor.)

Sajuuk-Khar

🎶 Doctor Kitchen Doctor! If you need medical care And you can’t go to the hospital, because of cops Well, he lives right over there! Doctor Kitchen Doctor! He’ll never send you a bill But things might get real real bad If you don’t help out the mob Like you say you will! 🎶

Maude Reads Things

Yeah, she didn't have the flashback in Marcie's accident because she hadn't lived for 5 years in Tennessee yet. Malays can be accurate (or partially accurate) sometimes but as I said, so far I've mostly seen her accent get thicker when she's angry. I think if it was gonna drop at being upset, it'd have been when her friends were kidnapped or during her confrontation with Amber but that wasn't the case so I think it's okay to say Malaya is wrong about her accent.

Lisa

Fair point. I was thinking the grey hair around his temples implied an older generation, but everyone greys at different times.

Jay

Probably blood loss
