I found the aliens.

Here’s your “I’m all ears” punchline. Â Those of you who know the original strips were probably wondering where it went in yesterday’s redraw. Â I moved it! Â It’s not quite as on-target as back before Walky also found a leg (which was because it was hilarious), but it’s here all the same.
Joyce’s face makes me laugh. Â It’s the “Fire swamp is really quite lovely this time of year” reaction face.

I like the shift. A lot more interruptive. Bigger impact.
And during a battle, when quips are mandatory.
more of the “ow I have lockjaw and can’t move my neck” reaction face
also, I keep thinking “Mega Man enemy”
“Prepare to die, Earth scum. Prepare to die, Earth scum.” I’m gonna make sure they carve that on your tombstone!
Willis, PLEASE tell me you’ve seen that movie, and this was a reference.
“Fix all of it! All of you! Fix it! FIXIT FIXIT FIXIT FIXIT FIXIT!!”
I got the reference XD I haven’t seen that movie in 15 years…*checks EBay to see if anyone’s selling the DVDs*
I remember that movie, vaguely. Used to play on local networks regularly back when I lived in Northern California. No idea why.
At least they don’t have to worry about any R.O.U.S.!
I don’t believe they exist.
*KA-RAT!*
I was right! 😀
Don’t blame the Americans, Jason, you’re an asshole.
I know British humor.
I like British humor.
You’re just not funny, Jason.
Well it’s something the old-school Bond might say.
Too bad they didn’t find his hand, then we could have had variations on “lending a hand”.
“Can you help me get a leg up on this guy?”
Ehh, kinda forced.
With that big mech after them, I think they’d better leg it.
Jason picks up leg, then says:
“it’s time to (puts on sunglasses) kick some ass.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that’s overdone.
Oh, tell me you don’t lobe these jokes!
I hear ya! 😛
Jason, if that’s gonna fly in America, you have to put on sunglasses as you say it.
This moment was really fundamental in my roleplaying of Jason. He’s usually so serious, but this joke shows a particular kind of black humor really enlivens the character. One of my top ten favorite Jason moments.
I still find that fucked up but that not why I’m not laughing, I just didn’t find it funny. Also Ya a single pistol is going to take out the giant ass Mech
Wait what Am I talking about Joyce has a fucking plasma Cannon they got this.
Watch Monty Python?
Yeah the Brits have a dry sort of humor or it’s totally over the top.
Not sure if Joyce shocked at Jason’s ‘joke’, or the size of that mech.
Jason is looking at the alien mech. Joyce’s eyes are pointing at Jason, not at the same direction his eyes are pointing.
Yeah, the enemy with a hostage shocks Joyce less than Jason’s pun.
Joking about that severed ear you just found. SLICE OF LIFE!
Well, I thought it was funny.
Damn Jason, that’s cold. I’ll admit I laughed, but still…
I don’t think I mentioned it at the time but I don’t think we see these mechs much after this storyline, so seeing them drawn well is really kinda thrilling. It’s a very striking design that required proper art.
This redraw is just full of great Joyce reaction faces.
