Honey looks very “pointed” in that second panel.
“I need to show Slapso which way the bad guy is, but my hands are bound! What I can point with?!? I know! I’ll think about Henry Cavil and Ryan Gosling doing a BVD ad! Except the BVDs are whipped cream! And..”

“A Deadly Race Against Time With Seconds, The Measure Of Life Or Death–Seconds!”
Mostly because there are only two levers… And he could just pull them both…And that would really only take a couple seconds tops…As opposed to the minutes it seems to be taking…

“Okay You Dirty Ratzi-Now We’ll See How Brave You Are!..
…Because you aren’t very smart, since you have a pistol, and could have just shot us. Heck. You could shoot me this very second…”second”. That word again…since I’m awkwardly climbing up a swinging crane arm…which I plan to rush down in high heels…So you better be brave! Because you sure aren’t smart or competent!”

Meanwhile, the construction crew who had been standing directly below Honey on the swinging crane arm all agreed that had been the best darn lunch break they’d ever had.

Honey is very strong, independent, tough, and luscious and all. But let’s be honest: Slapso really is the heart and soul of today’s cartoon.
I thought “Wambi” was the best name for an adventure comic character ever. But “Slapso”….that’s gonna be a close race.
Like the new font on the comments section by the way.
Great comments, Jams. (As usual.) And, yes, Slapso should get his own series.
By the way, did you get my e-mail this weekend? I need to hear from you before I proceed.
Hi John. Sent back a response yesterday. Sorry for the hold up. Thanks.
Saw the colorized panel and thought full niqab would be needed. Half would do.
“Slapso”?
