Bikers second at bedazzling only to wastelanders

I accidentally spent all day turning the sleeve of my jacket into leather scale mail and forgot to draw a comic until 20 minutes before I was supposed to post it.
Probably could’ve just taken pictures of that, sounds cool!
I’ll second that.
I agree! I wanna see this leather scale mailing myself!
I for one am just loving your net-handle
That’s probably one of the most on brand things I’ve ever seen you type.
+1
But are the scales shiny and multicolored, whatever the material, and do they form neat patterns? That is the important thing!
Also, I’m highly amused by the mental image of Commander Badass and the patrons of a sterotypical (because what other type of bar is there in this comic’s universe) Badass Biker Bar all teaming up to bedazzle her jacket.
It’s like a barn raising, except with bikers instead.
So now the quest is what a barn would end up looking like if raised by the patrons of a Badass Biker Bar.
Question*
IDK I think quest works.
^Seconded.
Given the height of Commander and his friends, the barn would probably look a little over six feet taller than before.
Thank you. I’m now humming ‘raise this barn’ from MLP
This reminds me so hard of that time I read about a group of buff scary looking bikers walking down a street with a little girl asking if she looked pretty to them with her doll and outfit. ….Need more stories like this.
Though I feel like my brain just smushed several stories together to fill in the gaps. o.O
Was this a BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse) thing?
My first thought, too. BACA is fucking awesome!
Awesome. I hope by the end, his jacket looks like it was made from robot-gator hide.
It’d be super durable, at the risk of accidentally blind passing motorists on sunny days.
Robot-gators are a species under threat of extinction, you cna’t just hunt them for jackets!
#StopRobotgatorHunting
I would never hunt such a majestic machine to extinction just for a jacket. There’s enough hide left over to make some wallets and belts and even some kick-ass boots! That would be much more ethical.
The robot gator sheds its skin painlessly, like a nauga.
Little known fact, Nauga is good eating and tastes exactly like something other than nutria.
Wait, is Naugahide is from an actual animal?
I always thought that was the brand name of a synthetic leather.
You got me…
It is a brand name of artificial leather.

Knowing her enthusiasm she will probably bedazzle her bug and her own face while she’ll be at it XD
Please let us see what your scale mail jacket looks like.
Agreed, I would love to see a picture of your jacket!
I think there’s a picture of the sleeve on her twitter. It’s really cool looking with overlapping leather scales, of all sorts of different textures and colors of leather. If I saw her jacket in real life, It’d be almost impossible for me to not stare in amazement and ask to touch it.
this is so adorable.
Pics or didn’t happen!
Adding my voice to the crowd wanting to see how your jacket turned out.
Requesting (fully aware my request is unwelcome) a comic where the bikers beg Commander to calm down his daughter because they can’t keep up with her and she’s generally just freaking them out.
On the matter of bikers and kids: There is something called the B.A.C.A. in Germany, Bikers Against Child Abuse. It’s a biker gang (or several around Germany) that formed an association to protect abused children. They accompany the kids to court and support them emotionally even, stay around their home. The kid becomes part of the gang, jacket and all.
It’s not just Germany, either; I know there’s chapters of the group in America, too. It’s amazing <3
…I had to look that word up Wiktionary, haha
“Oh my, your jacket is so pretty, sweetie! Did you get somebody to help you with it?”
“Yeah, the Hell’s Angels!”
If you do a sequel to this comic, we need the teacher’s expression.

“Daddy’s Little Angel”…

NEW REALITY CRAFT SHOW!
I feel like this could make for an absolutely adorable and cool Fathers Day Card
Is it just me, or does June get bigger every time we see her?
Well she have a very large dad so I guess she might be quickly growing into a imposing figure like her father.
And now I’m wondering about the timeline~
Her mother is also fairly tall and broad.
OMG this is so adorable, and just what I needed this morning. :) <3
“accidentally”
Okay, now you gotta post a picture of the jacket.
Given the type of people the Commander knows, odds are they’re a group of burly hairy men that meet every second Tuesday for some sort of crafts. Like knitting, or cross-stitch, or bedazzling, or macaroni art.
I used to work the night shift at a restaurant that was popular with truckers. I met more than a couple big, burly, grizzled, truckers who knit or crocheted or sewed as a relaxing and portable hobby. A couple of them made amazing quilts
If there is a follow-up to this, I’m sure Dante (not that one) will make an appearance. I mean, he was shown to do cross-stitch. The group he was with seemed to lack his conviction though.
Aw too bad the wastelanders couldn’t help. There would be so many guys and gals from the Fallout and Borderlands franchise that would fall over themselves to make that kid’s jacket look fabulous.
The male sole survivor from Fallout 4 is a veteran so he should have gained some skills in sewing from his military career.
Now I’m curious how you did that to your jacket – it sounds badass! :o
I had a dream last night that Commander tried to teach his kids about hockey.
Juney said they’d be able to fight better if they took down the walls [between the rink and the spectators.] I guess she thought the audience was also part of the two teams and fighting was the point? Commander said that was called a riot and maybe she would like football better.
All Sammy said was “puck.”
For some reason Commander had a Terry Crews vibe/voice, even though I normally headcanon him with something much lower.
