No that looks like she was slipping the phone back into the boob pocket and then running. Seriously though, you’d think for being a pro she’d have a better spot to put her phone.
Women’s clothing in general is RIDICULOUSLY short on pockets. Even many of the few pockets they do have are for show and don’t actually hold anything (or nothing of any size).
Ive noticed that as well. So many girls who do stick a cell phone in their pocket is likely to lose it because half the phone is still sticking out of it. Its pretty foolish to make pockets like that.
I have seen similar stuff in real life (though the ones I saw were even more person-shaped). It seems to be used mostly by grappling-focused martial artists as a a training dummy, as you an grab it by the “arms” to do stuff such as a Judo Ippon Seoi Nage. It does look cute, though.
If the training fizzles out,Rimi would secretly tell Jan, “Hey,I think it worked. Your daughter will be so discouraged that she’ll go back to being a normal teenage girl…!”
Jackie’s a very good gymnast (Courtesy of Mom), and a good gear-head (Courtesy of Dad). Wonder if she attempt to use her tech in training and I wonder how quick her trainer will nix that. 🙂
The hero who’s serious about their secret ID is going to have more than one phone. Silence that personal phone when you’re in costume. My character, Stalker, has a bluetooth built into the mask, so no one but her even knowns the phone rang.
Indeed. And make sure to turn off family tracking & location, too. Might be a better idea to forward to the HeroPhone® & leave the personal phone with your street clothes.
You know it would be intresting if Miss mellee had another blast from the past. Like an arch nemesis who in some ways styles himself as her opposite. Like a tech villian who does up front fighting only he uses more older tech which might be old fashioned but old tech does tend to be more reliable and redundant than new tech. The guy could have spent his years figuring hout how to protect himself against that inner power strike Miss melee can unleash. Only he created a new change to his armor it can absorb kinnettic energy into itself and redirect that energy somewhere else when it reaches a certain threshold. The Suit might get some straign and damage but the vast majority of the kinitic damage would be redirected to exit out some other area of his armor. Would probably be really difficult to do. Unless your a tech genious who probably spent years figuring out how to do it. It would be so interesting seeing that animeish high tech armor doing that much damage only to have next a guy in comic book 80 stile robot armor and 80 style robots show up and cause even more trouble than the high tech anime armor…(another difference would be that guy actually knows how to fully utilize his armor and it’s strength’s and weaknesses unlike the hacker)

Can’t wait to see how this training session turns out…!
Me too, its gonna be sooooo good1
I have a feeling real quick is going to take a long time.
Trying to see how bad she wants it. If she washes out, she wasn’t serious enough about it.
It also builds strength and endurance.
Gotta say that I’m impressed Jackie sees this for what it is, and isn’t voicing any complaints. It says a lot for how badly she wants this.
Is Jan leaning on the training dumy in the last panel?
No, that’s her about to dash.

Cononically, Jan does it this way because she doesn’t wear a belt.
My son’s in a competitive karate dojo. The girls all keep there phones tucked in their sports bras/chest protectors.
Put that back, Jackie. Rimi needs it for the car pool lane!
Nah, look where her hand is. She’s just returning her cell phone into it’s, um, well, I guess you could call it a holster…
According to TV Tropes (which I won’t link to, so I won’t be blamed for your lost productivity), that is known as “Victoria’s Secret Compartment.”
Im actually astonished by how many women Ive seen pull cell phones from their boobs like some kind of perverted magic trick.

Jackie’s gonna wish it was R. Lee Ermey instead of Rimi…
why does the punching bag have arms? that’s cute. :3
Probably to simulate a foe trying to block Jackie’s attacks.

See the link for some more pictures of practice dummies that are both punching bags and have arms.

Jan, something tells me that what Jackie and Rimi are going to do will only be ‘fun’ for Rimi.
If the training fizzles out,Rimi would secretly tell Jan, “Hey,I think it worked. Your daughter will be so discouraged that she’ll go back to being a normal teenage girl…!”

I wonder if Jackie would recognize the ringtone if she wasn’t so distracted by the training?
