Irresponsible CHILDREN.
on April 8, 2017 at 12:01 amHey, it’s THE CHEESE!
Our first good look at him with his cape open, and I’d decided he didn’t have legs. He just kinda floats.
Sal and Danny “stage-looking” at him, wherein they look up at him for us, the audience, even though he’s got to be somewhere behind them, is kind of buggin’ me. I don’t mind the practice, and I still employ stuff like this today, but I just think it’s executed wrong here.
There was originally a “TO BE CONTINUED” at the bottom, because originally there was a week-long break between this and the next strip, with guest strip fill-ins by Avalon‘s Josh Phillips. I’ll be putting those below in the news/blog section of the site. The “TO BE CONTINUED” used a font I no longer have, causing it to render terribly and large in the layered version of this file, and so I just got rid of it. The strip continues as per usual tomorrow anyway.

It seems like the rare times the Cheese shows up he doesn’t make things better, he just makes them worse. Sal’s already been stopped from using the power booster rod, there was no need for the Cheese to get involved.
And let’s not forget that time at the Martian Embassy where he tossed away Anthony who was badly injured and may have caused his death.
The Cheese was already angered into action when Head Alien revealed himself, remember? The usage of the Power Booster Rod was just the icing on the cake.
I mean, I’d argue he helps out pretty well in his next appearance. He just made the bad guys go away.
“you will be joining them IN HELL”
“are they already dining?”
“walky you are not helping”
The Cheese stands. Atone.
The Cheese stands, atone, hi ho the dairy oh…
Bodies strewn about
Boop! Boop!
You’re saying Mary is–
Trying to remember
Say, where’s your yellow stripe?
Wherein Mary recovers her memories of secretly being an abductee and rushes in to save Semme.
“When the Alps glow bright with splendour,
Pray, free Swiss, Pray,
For you feel and understand,
For you feel and understand,
That he dwelleth in this land.
That he dwelleth in this land.”
Yes, I’ve been quoting the first verse of the Swiss national anthem in anticipation of this. The lyrics fit the action better than you’d expect.
This was really an incredible “holy @$#&#” moment when I first read-through It’s Walky.
Agreed. Probably my single favorite cliffhanger moment in IW! altogether.

Also,
I Mean… The “to be continued is still accurate.
It still continues” after this is accurate.
To be continued is still accurate.
It still continues.
Cheese almighty!
Praise cheeses!
I will never forgive you for not calling him The Big Cheese.
I wonder if you could build something like him in Fallout 4?
Joyce still glaring at Sal kinda tarnishes the Cheese’s presence just a little. Like, if Joyce was reacting like everyone else, that could really emphasize the impact of his sudden appearance.
SPOILER
I remember from way back when that someone’s brain is in the Cheese and that he’s from the future. Did we ever find out who it was? Walky or Danny or Ruth or what?
We did but I don’t get it~ I never understood the whole Cheese thing, even when it was explained who it really was. Hopefully now that comments are a thing I’ll get it this time around but I’m sure that moment is like IRL years away. ^@__@^;;
It was clearly stated who the Cheese is, your memory must have glossed it over. Hint: he’s none of the people in this big panel but was intimately related to one of them.
You mean intimately connected, not related, right?
er yeah, that. Stupid second language *grumble*
Ok, I did not imagined he’d look like this
Uh oh, looks like Johnny Five isn’t too happy about these kids interrupting his workout at the gym today…
Not the first time I’ll be asking what took him so long.
So Plankton turned Spongebob into a robot again? Man, ever since Stephen Hillenburg left, they just can’t stop rehashing.
