Dangerously Chloe 29-11-18 Makeover

Post by Jason Waltrip »

New Strip! As the two Teddies walk back to their respective "homes," they run into some of the strip club girls and Charity, who is sporting a new "look."

This was pretty funny actually.

And it seems Charity can tell Teddy doesn't have the mark, though i wasn't aware that she knew.

Then why is she looking down Teddi’s shirt? Oh wait like she needs an excuse.

The Teddies have lost their soul, souls, or half a soul, and didn't notice any difference? Kind of checks out, actually.
Since Ted mentioned Al, wonder if that dumbass reaper has spare clothes or if their only outfit is the one Ted stole.

Nice to see how Charity was *allowed* to have *fun* without any proper supervision, so she is reduced to a blubbering, half-naked drunk, 'cos that's totally what being "free" is all about (granted, even if Teddi was there, it'd probably end up in the same sorry state).
At the risk of harping on: what the hell kind of people would give someone alcohol when they requested lemonade? If they requested lemonade, clearly they don't want to get intoxicated for whatever reason, so giving them booze presumably without Charity realising any better, is really terrible.

Hoping the non-character strippers flirting with macho Ted is only half of a joke, with the other half being Teddi getting puked on, harr-di-harr contrast; but regardless, the point being, it will be most annoying if this flirtation is continued beyond a one-off gag.

When you go to a bar and order lemonade the assumption would be a hard lemonade since most likely the bars Jordan and Ginger frequent don't offer soft drinks. And considering the drinking age in Canada is 18 I can believe Charity wouldn't get carded. Besides it's not like any of them know who Charity really is. Teddi could've told them she was her uptight cousin looking to cut loose for a night.

She did get lemonade, the alcoholic kind. When you ask for lemonade at a bar, that's usually what you get, because that's probably all they have.

This was my first thought too. Especially because they even specify that she wanted *only* lemonaid. They knew she wasn’t asking for the hard kind and to give it to someone who specifically isn’t asking for alcohol is all kinds of horrible. Whatif she was a recovering alcoholic? Or had some trauma from drinking to access in the past? Like clearly the reasonable response would’ve been “they only have hard lemonaid.” It would’ve been better had the strip presented it as them telling her there was only the hard stuff and Charity, unbeknownst to them, misunderstanding what that meant and accidentally getting drunk. At least then these women wouldn’t come off as just down right horrible.

Besides that, I liked the art in this strip and found the throwing up on Teddi’s breasts kind of funny. I also liked the joke that saying out loud what they’re doing IS talking to themselves because they would already know what the other is thinking.

I'm not blaming the bar. If we give Teddi the smallest benefit of the doubt, she would've told her stripper friends that Charity was "from way out of town," therefore not accustomed to conventions of pubs and such; despite probably being a lot older, Charity is a child in terms of knowing human society, so Teddi should have insisted that the strippers let her have *fun* without adding any mind-altering substances (which alcohol is, especially to someone who presumably hasn't had any before ever).

*EDIT* I've changed my mind. I am blaming the bar a bit - often establishments that primarily serve liquor can't be entered without a photo ID, let alone provide an alcoholic beverage without proof of age. It is especially off-putting here because Charity seemingly appears to be mid to late teens, so if a place would be so careless as to give alcohol to an ID-less individual that could be minor, then that place is lacking in scruples (which also contributes to the "Teddi is a bad person" reasons if they left Charity in such a place).

Agreed. It could be framed as a joke about misunderstanding, rather than the girls seeming like horribly apathetic chaperones.

I'm so-so about the vomit joke. Admittedly, it is somewhat amusing that the usual sleazy gag was side-stepped to become gross out comedy instead.

Interestingly enough is Teddy and Teddi are walking without Naomi. I would think one of them would escort her home, but then I remembered she ambushed him in the alley with Prudence in tow before sending her off to buy some cakes. She's probably collecting her right now to go home, but I wonder if they'll cross paths again and if she'll even recognize Charity after her makeover. She's dim enough to not notice that Chastity and Pandora were the same person and it's possible that with her divine powers diminished Charity could actually lie. She might tell her she donated her clothes to some needy floozies or on an undercover mission.

In Canada? Okay, cultural assumption clash.

(In the UK, “hard” lemonade is a rarity, to the point where I don’t recall ever seeing it on offer, whereas any bar will likely have some of the standard stuff available, because even if they don’t admit accompanied kids, and their customers aren’t the sort to order shandy — 50/50 lemonade/beer mix — you always get the designated drivers and such.)

Actually, I second that. In Australia, if you order a lemonade - even at a bar - you get a lemonade. If you want it mixed with alcohol, you have to specify.

It's pretty clear from the explanation "she wanted lemonade but we only had the hard kind" that the girls knew what Charity wanted but gave her something else instead. And they could have suggested another soft drink instead. I can't believe there's a bar in the world that doesn't sell cola of one sort or another.

Not just that, but Charity no doubt insisted on this makeover 'after' she was properly shitfaced - and these idiots went along with it.

That is not how you look out for the people you're supposed to keeping an eye on/show a good time to.

Yeah, no - not even there. I've lived in Canada, have been to their bars before and if you don't specify you want a hard drink (i.e. - you say 'lemonade' instead of 'a hard lemonade') you're going to get a booze free lemonade. If they don't have standard lemonade, they don't assume you meant the hard stuff and give you that, instead - they will tell you they don't have the non-alcoholic stuff and give you non alcoholic options (sodas or water - because all bars have those).

And, they always card you - even if you do look of drinking age; because older teens will doll themselves up to look older, so the bartenders always card to make sure they're not serving minors.
Please, don't come to me expecting me to fix your problems.
