Parsley: The longer we delay Piper’s first kill the lower her total body count will be when she realizes murder is a solution!
Considering the post-human world (and how long ago this was, if that story told in the last chapter was accurate), I imagine that “long walker” probably refers (or referred) to humans with their silly, gangling legs, but since nobody seems to recognize that Tam is one of these gangly-legged weirdos, it’s probably likely that “long walker” is mostly just an insult and not really connected anymore to its origins.

Thank god we have transcripts to tell us what Piper said in the second to last panel. The hell’s a “long walker”?

Wow, lots to unpack here.
Loving the reactions of each person in the crowd, especially how clueless Penny’s little bro is.
Tam pleading with them to stop feels significant. Wherever she came from, she must have seen a lot of fighting in front of her.

The two most hot headed kids in town, together are an explosive mix.
At least it’s only first and last name. Had it been fist, last, and middle names…
*plays Vader’s March*
Late, but I thought I’d note that Tam seems to be signing “help”
