At the point I have no idea where McBell is going and no choice but to simply let her cook. I have faith that McBell has a good point to make but she’s taking me for a ride on the way there.
I wrote this farther down, but I’m pretty sure her point is: “You should put a child’s well-being first, even if that child’s fear of you is the only thing stopping her from reporting your various crimes.”
It’s from just outside the gala, after Bout punched Magoon through a wall to stop him from hurting the mayor. I think it’s just a scene change, as McBell continues her monologue
I love those last three panels. Mr. Magoon was literally punched out of the fight, by having the fight punched out of him. He was put through walls in the most comical way possible, and yet there’s no harm done to him at all.
This is the difference between a Clown’s Routine and an actual fighting style. No matter how violent it looks, it’s still a gag.
Please forgive me for not understanding how McBell helping her idiot friends rob an auction will actually improve the current state of Pinfall, since it doesn’t seem like doing so will result in either reforming or disbanding the Clown Corps.
Well, it looks like it at least set up for one of the political/economic powerhouses getting sense knocked back into him, that’s probably valuable. Depends heavily on how long it lasts.
She’s not referring to her decision to help with the robbery. She’s referring to her decision to put Dot’s comfort first, even though that could have led to Dot ratting her out. In other words, Mustard’s example helped her decide that it’s wrong to get what you want through intimidation. And that is heavily ironic, because Mustard has spent the past several months running around town intimidating people, up to maybe an hour ago with Platt Jr. at that exact same phone booth.
No, Platt Jr. went outside to use the phone booth because the phone lines inside the building were cut. See Chapter 6 page 82. You’ll also notice that Platt Jr.’s phone booth was next to a blue mailbox, just like this one.
I’ve solved it this time! McBell and Echo are going to start a new organization called the Mime Corps! Yep. That’s gotta be what’s happening.
Oh dear, Mcbell’s really gonna live by ‘What Would Mustard Do’ huh? Oats better invest in a helmet.

Huh ? I am a bit confused about where the last time three panels came from ?

It wasn’t the punch, Magoon, you just touched grass for the first time in eighty years

It took me a minute to put everything together.

The layers, man, the layers.
It’s gotta be a different phone booth. The call made it to the answering machine, and phone lines at the auction building were cut

oh my god Bout knows the mystic arts of the Shonen Protagonist
Hmm, improv comedians are clowns who don’t wear face paint or have stage names.
“I do not aim with my arm; he who aims with his arm has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not throw with my arm; he who throws with his arm has forgotten the face of his father.
I throw with my mind.
I do not punch with my fist; he who punches with his fist has forgotten the face of his father.
I punch with my heart.”
—Bout, probably
Wait, this is when we FINALLY snap to seeing what Binky is doing.
