Didn't Dina trick Toedad into getting on a bus, then got his car towed thereafter? I'd presume, assuming I didn't just make that up, he was driving that bus.

HenryVolt

Sal is one more crazy motorcycle ride from becoming infamous in the trucker world.

George

It's what I'd be tempted to do if I were a bus driver. I mean, that's probably why I could never be a bus driver. On a side note, does MD9GA mean anything?

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

Presumably "Make District 9 Great Again", Indiana's 9th congressional district containing Indiana University and Bloomington. It's a play on "Make America Great Again", a Trump slogan often printed on red baseball caps.

Brian Danger Hicks

The funny thing is all of these events are actually unrelated to the comic events you think they're about. It's just a string of crazy coincidences.

George

Huh. It's funny how easy it is to miss the obvious. I kept thinking it was some kind of in-joke, maybe a reference to an older comic.

Seth Aaron Hershman has they/she pronouns

I'd be genuinely surprised if anyone remembered the comic was set in Indiana's 9th congressional district off the top of their heads. Even I only had a hunch and had to Google it.

Davide V.

I'm so sorry for the non-Patreon folks that are gonna miss this one :)

Chasey

I missed voting for this one this time; is this seriously who we voted for? I freaking love you guys!

Caitacular

This is the second bonus, which he decides on himself, no vote. Might be getting the two confused myself, tho

Maude Reads Things

The one we voted for was Marcie. That said, I want these truckers to become recurring characters. They can hang out at the bar Sal goes to sometimes or at Galasso's bar! EDIT: Except Robin supporter guy, fuck that.

Maude Reads Things

...Shit. I didn't notice that either. I thought it was 'Indiana' at first. Well, I suddenly feel a lot less sympathetic for this guy. Fuck him then.

George

He can be the token-evil-teammate.

Regalli

I’m torn between ‘third guy, you could have saved us such trouble!’ and ‘but then third guy would’ve gotten in trouble and Toedad would still be a martyr, but a much more socially-accepted-at-large one.’ Still, poor third guy.

Regalli

I feel like we’ve seen this bar before but can’t remember when. Then again, it looks pretty platonic ideal of roadside dive bar so it could just be that.

Regalli

It being that bus would also explain why he was ranting about dinosaurs, assuming he eventually remembered Dina’s hoodie was an Evil Dinosaur Shape and not an Evil Pokemon Shape (it however he was butchering that, I just checked and immediately cleansed it from my mind.)

Chasey

OHHHHH okay! that explains why I thought I had missed voting on this bonus strip! Thanks for the explanation, and awesome choice, Willis, hehe. Great strip.

Doomed

But Robin completely changed her platform around. And presumably Becky is still tweeting from her phone.

Dean Reilly

I am guessing that this is one of Robyn's campaign hats.

Maude Reads Things

The campaign hats would've had to have been distributed a while ago though and Robin's change in platform's been about a week or two.

Eric Lusby

As a lifelong bus rider, I've always had a lot of empathy for bus drivers (well, not the ones that skip stops or drive like Mr. Toad, but the competent majority). Some of the people they have to deal with are really off the wall. And Sal, please stop scaring truckers, their jobs are hard enough. The Amber situation was necessary, but now you're just doing it for kicks.

Bagge

Obviously

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I was so hoping there were THREE Sal truck shenanigans but I guess Toedad makes a better punchbag LINE punchLINE

Dana

His name is, uh... Jessica. A very common name.

Regalli

Technically, there’s two Sal shenanigans and two Toedad shenanigans. A common thread runs through them all. (Also if the cyclist’s wearing their helmet like 80% of risky ‘do you have a death wish, friend?!’ behavior is just normal Motorcyclist Who Does Not Understand How Scared Everyone Is For Them. The Amber-catching though, that’s unusual.)

Chelsea Kenna

I always miss voting on here because I forget and I am always fine with it because the rest of you make such good choices.
