good ol' garbage roof

Railway Series Book Club

this being the first appearance of garbage roof (outside of flashbacks) since before the timeskip is kinda crazy

Astariel

Looks like Carla's been traumatized. I don't like that.

Lazuli

fuck

Andrea Andrew

Fuck ICE, and fuck the current transphobic society we currently live in.

GundamBradley

Thoughtful question for Carla, because yeah, I dread to think about what state the pigs left the room in.

Steph

*me looking at the preview* oh wow my two faves! *me reading the comic* Damn you Willis!

Grace Serenity

I cannot imagine the lawsuit the local police have just opened themselves up to vis a vis Ruttech. Carla's parents may be involved with the stuff in Bulmeria, but they have already moved heaven and earth for their daughter!

VengeanceKnight

Especially since the ending of Book 10 implied that this was going to be a regular thing with the cast now.

Dan Rabin

Establishing shot, then alternating panels for two speakers who aren't looking at each other: Carla is staring out away from the building even though Sal is talking to her. The final, wordless panel is almost standard, but there's a twist: the pinkish glint in Sal's eyes is anticipated by a similar coloration in Carla's eyes in panel 4. This helps tie Sal's wordless reaction to Carla's report that she has not yet surveyed the damage. But of course there's meaning here not contained within the limits of a single strip. Carla has been processing the role of her parents' business in the power structure that led to the search of the dorm. Like all the other residents, she will feel violated if her room is a mess, but on the other hand if her room was treated well, then it's her privilege, right in her face. Perhaps she would rather not know—not right now. She might as well feel rebellious smoking a joint. Sal is restless because she's not "dangerous" anymore. In the context of her previous stance against authority, this may mean she's not flipping off The Man lately, and that feels odd to her. Yet there is the Daughter of Ruttech right in front of her on the roof, ill at ease about the raid. Are they both rebels? Neither? One and not the other? See? All these words I'm typing, and David Willis used very few, with Carla repeating one of her sentences.

"I think we're going to have to kill these cops Carla" "Damn"

Edwin I Callahan

You’re playing my song, but real- life ICE (and fictional ICE, if Willis decides to make it a plot thread in the future) didn’t have anything to do with the dorm search. It was Indiana State Police who conducted the raid, apparently looking for evidence involving Amazing Girl.

Shane Wegner

Implication: they “searched” Carla’s room extra hard for one or more reasons.

Dan Rabin

I read the strip as saying she doesn't know that, since she hasn't been there to check, since she repeats her statement after Sal asks her directly how her room was affected.

Dan Rabin

But what if heavily-militarized police departments are good paying customers?

Sajuuk-Khar

Sal: “God dang it maybe ah SHOULD become Amazi-Girl, ackchually”

Fart Captor

ACAB and fuck ICE are basically the same sentence imo

Shane Wegner

Hmm, I could see the “I don’t even wanna know how bad it is” route vice the “I took a quick look, I know it’s bad, I don’t wanna face how bad yet”.

Kelly (they-them)

Fuck ICE, but also fuck 12 - these were the everyday pigs that ransacked the dorms. God, I'm really afraid of what they did to Carla's room.

Kelly (they-them)

I didn't even consider the privilege angle (and had kind of forgotten about the whole plot with her parents). I thought Carla was worried as a publicly out trans woman - like, what extra damage would they do knowing that? But now that I think about it, the cops were blindly searching for revenge. They probably don't know whose specific rights they're violating until they get to the room and either see its renter or things that identify that person. Like, completely possible the cops would get there, not realize who she is or be able to recognize from her belongings that she's trans, and just do comparable damage that they're doing to every other room. That leads to your point that if the room isn't especially out of sorts, it's her privilege in her face. But it's more than that - her parents or some representative on their behalf would have had to inform the pigs of what room to be relatively gentle with. That would imply that her parents were aware of the raid and did nothing to stop it or warn about it. And even if the damage is lesser, she's STILL open to hate crimes cuz they could "accidentally" destroy her estrogen or something. Damn, man. Good art analysis, Dan.

Packy Anderson

@Dan Rabin: not only does she repeat her statement, but she hesitates and her speech bubble is all wobbly when she says it. She doesn't know and fears the worst.

Packy Anderson

Or what it means if the pigs, who should have gone extra crazy in a trans woman's room, left it untouched.

Packy Anderson

Does that mean Garbage Roof (named, appearing since timeskip) is now eligible for bonus strip votes?

Katrina Marie Paton

Not sure I'd agree Kelly. If the University called the cops it's quite likely they'd also point out which room not to trash. The Ruttens have the money and the incentive to make life very difficult for them if Carla's room gets trashed.

Harold

@Andrea Andrew: They might be giving each other some space (not in a negative way, just to let things sit for a while) after that conversation about Carla's parents.

Preventer Wind

A lot of the heavily military equipment is actually‘surplussed’ military equipment available thanks to the War on Terror (or was it Drugs?) allowing police to buy stuff they have no need for from the government. My college town of like 4k people was the county seat and they’d bought an armored personnel carrier for their SWAT team. In the mountains.

meh

from sad becky, to sad dina, to sad asma and now SAD CARLA!? fuck it. lets go back to having our emotions toyed with through a never ending "will they wont they" between joyce and dorothy.

Empress of Robots

I am having such a hard time parsing Carla's crisis right now and it's making very anxious. I can think of like 5-6 things it COULD be (besides the generic invasion of privacy) and I hate them all :C

Empress of Robots

In no particular order: 1) cops really fucked up her room possibly bc she is a famous trans, 2) cops took her HRT, 3) cops DIDN'T search her room (with or without leaving something transphobic on her door), 4) existential crisis at the police state her parents are enabling/making money from is menacing her and her friends, 5) cops full on vandalized her room with some sort of transphobic images/messaging, 6) unrelated to the cops, the University is kicking her out of her single and sending to the boys side of the dorm, 7) some other bad thing. Ugh I hate all of it. Trying to remember what exactly was going wrong in the world 10-12 months ago when Willis would have come up with this strip

Harold

@Katrina Marie Paton: To echo Kelly somewhat, and as several other commenters have noted, if Carla's privilege has indeed shielded her from the bad stuff that happened to her friends and other dormmates, that's likely to make her feel even *more* guilty about her position following that conversation with Charlie. Carla's feeling lots of things these last few days that she's probably never experienced before, and it's shaking her meticulously constructed facade of brash self-confidence.

Rob McBobson

@FC: I see your point, but it's too limiting. ICE is just one force in just one country. ACAB is a roughly century-old acronym from England, and includes every act of police corruption in every country. There are many, many, MANY more corrupt police forces all over the planet than just ICE.

Harold

This is somewhat off-topic, but given the darkness of this strip and its potential implications maybe some lightness might be welcome: I just noticed on the main site that there is currently an offer in the online store for 15% off orders over $20. The code to enter for the discount: DORPY.

Rob McBobson

Yeah, exactly. Let's not forget who actually did this.

Rob McBobson

I agree with the general sentiment of "Fuck ICE", but I also think we should place at least *some* blame on the standard cops who actually committed the awful stuff here. The fact that ICE are both horrible and repugnant doesn't mean that these non-ICE cops should go blameless when, in this situation, they are the sole guilty party.

GundamBradley

Out of deference for who her parents are? True, possibly, but I got more of the tone here that something despicable happened.

Mitzi B.

I suspect it was left untouched, since she still has her weed.

Alexandra Falk

Really lovely lighting on this one. I'm feeling the mood.

David M Willis

Yeah, there's no in-universe reason for the lighting to be red, but it fits the vibes, so I feel it works.

Kelly (they-them)

Now the "will they, won't they" between them is whether they'll ever talk about the potential of a polyamorous relationship

Kelly (they-them)

@Katrina I hadn't considered that the University might have summoned the cops for the search. I assumed they were doing that just because they were furious with Amazi-Girl. I know the administration called the fuzz to the protest in the first place, but that was technically legal (even if it was immoral and shat in the face of the first amendment). The dorm raid was very illegal and openly in violation of the 4th amendment. So, I agree the University would point out which rooms not to trash if they summoned the police for a search, but I doubt they would have done that.

meh

fuck. willis may actually be evil

Maude Reads Things

Yeah, that's....not going to be fun, regardless of how bad it may or may not be
