Aliens are so 90s… wait a minute…
You know, in retrospect, it makes sense that Joyce would gravitate to that book.
Yes, Willis wasn’t very subtle at this point in his career.
To be fair, at this point it just seemed like a joke.
If you remembered the strips that immediately followed this one, I don’t think you would believe that’s the case.
I have rarely been so tempted to peek ahead to the next strip.
You don’t want to go down that path unless you’ve got a few days to kill. I made the mistake of peeking ahead a couple weeks ago, and eventually I came out the other end of Shortpacked!…
And now I don’t remember what strips are coming up next here.
Basically this turns into a whole thing about Joyce being fixated on aliens.
“Related Comics: Could anything be more dreadful?”
Compared to body piercing at home? Uh…
I wonder if the aliens are into home body piercing.
They might have any number of piercings and tattoos inside those suits.
I find it more amusing that that’s in a university library, honestly.
So “hobby options” include cross-stitching, home body-piercing, or aliens? Whatever happened to reading or learning an instrument??
That sounds too much like study and hard work. 😛
It was that or toy-collecting.
Instruments make too much noise.
Joyce was into far fetched alien conspiracies before the History Channel made it cool
A little strange that she’d be excited about aliens. You’d think she’d want to avoid the subject.
Well, it did work out for her in hindsight.
Maybe they’re cute aliens, like E.T., Alf, or Xenomorphs?
…you think Alf was cute? o_O
dude sings bob segar tunes into a cucumber, man
Is it weird that of the aliens in that list the only ones that didn’t give me horrible nightmares for years were the xenomorphs?
I love how empty the shelves are. Have they already removed all of the books?
“Largest library in Indiana” isn’t saying all that much.
Whoa, those are empty shelves. I thought they were windows to a dark outdoors. Now I’m sad.
There is actually one book per shelf, all as wide as the shelf is. The books also all have black backs with no text.
… Actually, come to think of it, in high school one of my teachers had a horror story about a student accidentally piercing her lip in class.
Yeah. You’re welcome for that image.
One of my friends in high school pierced his own nipple. With a safety pin and a lot of vodka. (Applied both internally and externally.)
Seven out of nine medical doctors advice against applying safety pins internally.
Eight out of five drunks recommend vodka, applied. No matter how.
Joyce doesn’t seem like the type to go for scifi stuff, so I assume this is foreshadowing. Or just a segue into another run of alien jokes, since the storyline planning during the college newspaper phase of the comic probably didn’t include any of the alien-abduction/government-anti-alien-force stuff that came later.
Dude, Joe got abducted just a little while back. There’s mentions of the Head Alien and Mutant Frosted Honey Bun in the backgrounds.
Yes, but that abduction was a quick gag, not part of an action-adventure alien war plotline.
Sarah’s slightly more like her DoA counterpart here. Sarcastic, irritated by those in her presence, with the main difference being that she laughs at these people rather than just sighing at them.
Aliens are just going to make her a different kind of crazy. Quick, find a different hobby!
Also surprised “home body piercing” is any thicker than a pamphlet.
You will need:
1 Hammer.
1 Nail.
1 disposable block of wood (or anything you don’t mind getting nail holes and blood on).
1 friend with reeealy steady hands. (*)
Jewelry sold separately.
(*)Pro tip: If you have borrowed money from your friend, pay them back before requesting their assistance.
Screw you, Sarah. Aliens rock
