- Sandra: Huh, what just happened? I heard sirens and screams…?!
- Larisa: Oh, that was nothing!
- Larisa: But we better make a run for it before it gets nasty here!
- Sandra: Where are you going?! The exit’s that way!
- Larisa: No, it isn’t safe outside!
- Sign: GUNS “R” US
- Larisa: Aaah! Firearms!!
- Sandra: Larisa!

Gunsyaus… LOL (“Я” is read like “Ya” and you will not convince me otherwise)
Trust Larisa to be interested in a gun store – and interesting that they’ve chosen branding suspiciously similar to a certain toy store chain…
But still, if it’s mechanical diggers on the loose, then as long as the mall is solidly constructed and removing a support pillar won’t send the entire upper stories collapsing, then heading upwards and inwards should be safer. Hopefully.
Though that look on Sandy’s face… Like “What did I expect?”
@ Trimutius:
Only if you learned to read Eubonics.
@ mittfh:
You do realize how badly most malls in the US are built right?
Sandra’s facepalm. 😀
@ Van:
They’re still big. Anything that big has to have its support system widely distributed.
@ myth buster:
That may be true, but all you have to do is hit the right support pillar. At least 3 of them most likely. Or hit a gas line.
larisa’s eyes seem too close to the top of her head in panel 2
Larisa: Ah! Firearms! Such a great idea… ‘cos has the word “FIRE” in it!!! X-D
Sandra: Yes… and there’s another great thing with the word fire in it:- FIRE EXIT – which is an even better idea because it has the word “exit” in it!!!
Larisa: Nooooo! I’ve gone through loads of those, and none of them have ever been on fire!!! It’s false advertising, but no-one ever listens to my complaints!! D-X

How could this german guy Oliver Knörzer make jokes about
our beloved guns? This is against our patriotic feelings. 😀
…Only in the US…
Time to shoot some angels… Should’ve gotten Cloud into this, honestly. He’d totally fight if Sandra’s life were on the line.
weird, feels like a game of Dead Rising.
@ Trimutius:
Technically, Я after a consonant is read as “u” (as in “guns”) while the consonant becomes soft, so S before Я would sound like S in word “sick”.

I remember Dawn Of The Dead had a gun store in the mall and other older movies. But now we’re in a age were gun stores in a mall is something you only see in those movies still. I’m thinking about Halloween stuff so that I pick Dawn Of The Dead right away.
@ Night-X:
Depends on where you live.
In my state, I’m pretty sure there is an ‘outdoorsy’ outlet at the malll that sells firearms…
…Maine 😛
I think it’s due to seeing them in a full body shot, but those two look older in this strip.

Yeah. But if doesn’t know what he’s up against he might just get killed.
On the other hand to know what he’s up against, he’d probably have to sell his soul. And he’s much less inclined to like that as much as Larissa is doing.
GunsRUs. Mmkay. America, why?
You can’t spell firearms without fire!
It doesnt seems to be too safe inside too…
Unfortunately flamethrower is likely not in the selection
I’m starting to wonder whether the green zone wasn’t there just because Larisa is supposed to be within 5 miles of that area 😉
Because, Fire Arms are okay in shopping places but letting Sandra live is Gods isssues, WOW
@ TvTropesgotmehooked:
Ayuh, that use to be the case out in Farmington, but I haven’t been up that way in a while. It shared space in a “mini” mall with a brewery. However, I think Larissa will be disappointed when she finds its all “small” arms and not a single flame thrower anywhere. And said shop would be a lot more secure than we’re probably going to see in this comic. Now, if it was a pawn shop, then it would be easy access as one pawn owner in Bangor has now learned the hard way.

Detour anyone?
@ dudeman:
I think her head is tilted up a bit.
@ Night-X:
Not exactly – there’s a gun store in a strip mall in my town (and I am in NC, not TX). Admittedly, it’s not an enclosed mall like this one, but still.
@ dudeman:
That’s because her head is tilted back slightly.
Somehow i would’t be suprised if there actually was a store like this in a US mall….
And ofc there had to be one in Sandra’s town.
Maybe thats where Larisa got that Flamethrower before??
I see trademark infringement! Toys R Us owns that “R”, backwards and forwards, and will sue anyone else who uses it… unless something has changed… But nice choice for comic effect.
@ M. Peach:
Well, it isnt “R”. It’s Ya. Entirely different letter.

Well that’s nothing to worry about. Guns make everyone safer after all.
Is Sandra residing in the US?

Very nice and all but glorified clubs unless they sell the proper ammo as well.

What’s the opposite of holy water?
Should be “AAAAAH! Platemail!”

You can’t spell firearms without arms. Unless you use your face, or toes, or something.
“Я” is also the first person singular pronoun, which looks a bit silly right next to the first person plural pronoun “Us”.
“Я” is also a brand of fruit juices and juice-based drinks.

In Christian “mythology” (by which I don’t mean Christian faith as a whole, but only those legends about hell and demons that mostly have very little basis in the bible), there is no Magic controlled by the devil or even mere humans to repel angels, that would rather obviously not go well with god being allmighty. If god decides to send his holy supernatural messengers to beat the devil up, they will suceed and will not be stoped by some cheap hocus pocus.
In some RPGs (like D&D), there is something like “unholy water”, i.e. water blessed by the priests of evil gods, which can repel good supernatural creatures. But that really does only make sense in a polytheistic system with more or less a balance of power between good and evil deities.
@ GPedia:
Because Jesus Christ died for our sins, and Larisa’ll be damned if Sandra does too. To that end, I’m putting ten bucks down that she chooses what looks like a .357 in the top right corner and has a Dirty Harry do-you-feel-lucky moment at the end of this arc.

“Я” is a Russian letter for “ya”, and that how I am used to read it, because I am Russian…

Problem is in english there is no way of displaying soft consonant other than putting “y” or “i” right after it. so it still will be “sya”

My favorite gun-SMITH is right across the street from the police station in the little town just up the street from me! 🙂 (also in NC)
