Bout should just “accidentally” trip and fall on the next round of saving the mayor from one of his assailants.
Everyone would still give him hero cred for trying so hard, and the city would truly be better off.
Probably not that well. Even if they had similar strength (which I doubt, wasting a table is not on the same level as punching through a prison wall), Strongman had clown training, he’s very much more skilled than this old man who spends his time chugging screws.
Well, Bout can dodge Magoo’s blows as seen here (although he’s calling his attacks), Binky can easily beat Bout in hand-to-hand (Binky was not calling his attacks) and Strongman overpowered Binky in hand-to-hand and needed reinforcements to beat, soooo… Who knows. It would go the way the story needed to go at that point.
Realistically, I would probably bet on the fiftysomething with demonstrated super-strength over the hundred year old man, no matter how healthy or well-trained the latter may claim to be, though Magoo is clearly powered by some sort of ki (or by the stolen lifeforce of people killed by the US healthcare system, apparently).
He may be a terrible terrible Mayor, but he is having the correct amount of fun over being protected by a Paladin that vastly outclasses the also-terrible rich men in the room.
I have a feeling that in the next few pages, James/Binky and/or Morgan/Mustard & Maggie/Echo will hear the explosion coming from the auction house and that’ll result in either one or all of them to show up to the auction unannounced, trying to figure out what the hell is going on.
Yeah, the mayor IS acting rather strangely all the time- but not suicidal so far. Can he be really sure that Bout could mop the floor with Nerdy and the Beast? It’s been a close call two times already…
You know, there’s been no “auction” in this “auction house” throughout this entire night. It doesn’t even look like these guys would even care that the place was robbed.
I hate how smug Burke is about this. Although I guess it shows how confident he is in Bout’s ability.
Note that Burke is also ‘relaxed’ off his ass.
Like. Maybe you could just let them wing him a little?
Bout you could probably save everyone a lot of trouble if you just let this dude get murked by his awful friends.
But that would prove his dad right!
At least I think Bout believes that…
Poor Bout really deserves better than this
Little gremlin mayor is having the best time. How “relaxed” is he at this point?
They’re gonna take the cost of that table and that roof out of Bout’s paycheck.
Not a good night for roofs in this town

I wonder how the insurance guy would fare against strongman.

I cannot wait for the night to end and for Bout to immediately show up at his dad’s all “hey do you have any burgers left”
yup
I guess Nonna Conan is a palindrome after all!

Yo Chief, how’s it coming with those terrorists?
Just let it happen, Bout.
I hate this dinky little son of a bitch soooo much
The palindrome would be “Nonna Cannon”, and I think she’s a little too tired out for modern warfare these days
Alternatively it could be Nano-Conan.
So either a little barbarian dude or a miniaturized talk show host.
For a clown whose routine is ‘just punches’, Bout is actually handling this strikingly well.
I’d suspect Juniper of slipping something into the Mayor’s drink but honestly he’s not acting any different than normal.

The mayor is more of a clown than any of the clowns

This really was just a cocktail party.
I like how the guest have caused more harm than the criminals.
