Also, that “dead, just like you remember her” line is definitely one of my new favorite Head Alien taunts ever. I don’t think anything’s ever going to top “this universe agrees with me that your life’s a joke,” but this is definitely up there.
I haven’t seen anything of the Joyce and Walky! finale, but Sal does have a tagged appearance at Amber and Mike’s wedding in Shortpacked – which I at least think is supposed to be chronologically-set after this.

I like to believe that Head Alien II has giant speakers that shout “DEATHRAY” whenever he shoots that thing.
I want to believe there’s also a giant motorized speaker arrangement with a guy playing a fire guitar off-screen
The people of Denver just shrug it off. They’ve seen weirder by now.
Oh.
Well… shit. So much for mother-son bonding.

And of course, the pinnacle of Sal-related Head Alien taunts, “Why, Sal! I didn’t know you cared!”
So did he like build a second lucky Masters or did he somehow convince the current one to work with him?
I feel like I’ve forgotten something here.
Ah well.
I’m sure Sal’s fine.
… Right?

True, but these people do have resurrection chambers at their disposal.
…Come to think of it, why the heck haven’t they revived Ruth, anyway? Was there really nothing left of her they could have used?
Ruth wasn’t SEMME, and they didn’t have the Rez chambers until the end of the Martian war.
I’m kinda hoping so, but I haven’t read these particular Joyce and Walky strips before.
She’s not dead, she’s resting!
I, for one, am in love with devices with their corresponding descriptive noun as the sound effect.
So, how many deaths is this for Sal? It’s nowhere near as many as Walky or Mike but still…!
No matter what alternate universe, HA always has the best lines.
Is that a giant boot?
Giant FOOT. Monkey Master’s foot.
There is no foot!
