Yes, Jason, very clever. Eyewinky at you, sir, eyewinky.
This is it! The penultimate strip/update! I mean, by Scott McCloud rules, it’s the ultimate strip, since tomorrow’s is a single image, but
Time to parade everyone out one more time, curtain call, etc, before ejecting them unceremoniously. Ha ha ha, Danny still thinks this story is about him, isn’t that precious.
I honestly expected to never draw any of these people besides Robin ever again.
wait how does ultra car fit back through that door
does
does she have to stay behind and watch
well this explains some things
Ghola!
By Howard’s expression I assume he’s like: ” Why am I even here for?
Also I can’t believe you forgot an importsnt character….Phil the janitor.
CURSES
Phil wasn’t forgotten…he’s smart enough to get the heck out of there before the two superpowered humans cause the building to shake with their violent sex!
He’ll be back to clean up after them since they’ll be too tired to do anything else but sleep
Ultra-Car still has intangibility at this point.
That was my assumption as well. She should just be able to phase out through the wall.
but why do that when she can piss off the humans by crashing through the wall just for fun 😉
Oh yeah!
That or the lab where Walky was regenerated has a second, car-sized door for some reason.
How else would they get the regeneration tube in? It looks a bit big for a regular pedestrian door.
“Some assembly required.”
It’s not like they actually salvaged it wholesale from the Martians, they had to reconstruct it wholesale from what they had to work with.
Maybe so, but even some of the components, such as the chamber itself, look bulky enough that some kind of freight door would greatly simplify things. There’s no way you could get a forklift through the door they’re using. (I know this for certain, because some genius at work tried a couple of months ago. Tore the entire door frame out of the wall.)
How did Ultra Car even get in there to start? WHY would she be in there, she didn’t even know Walky, carrying her through the door piece by piece and reassembling her inside seems like a lot of work to see someone she doesn’t even know wake up.
she’s Danny’s ride, so she had to be there because she had no choice- Joe would have taken her offline if she didn’t stay
Also: intangibility…she can phase through the walls like she did with the Martian mothership
Why did she bother putting his hoodie back on if she’s just taking it back off
also… is this Walky’s re-birthday
also, wait, that was a whole month between “totally done but don’t come in ’cause he nekkid” and actually popping the hatch
it took that long to reintegrate his soul and ensure his neural pathways regenerated…you wouldn’t want a braindead Walky walking around, would you?
Then again, how would you tell 😉
No, but it is his TubeDay
“Put this on, I want to undress you” makes a certain amount of sense, impractical as it may sound.
Also, everybody in the room just saw Walky buck-assed naked, with Walky actually *in* the body. Ironic after Joyce was making everyone stay out because his body was nakies in the tube.
I mean, even if you don’t do the paid strips Joyce & Walky still comes next, doesn’t it? we’re Not Done Yet!!
joyce glaring at danny will never not make me laugh
danny: when I was fighting astronaut zombies with my best friend, his girlfriend, and their talking car, I learned
joyce: that you could shut up
[welcome to life, irken child. report for duty.]
[The duty is bangin’ your fiancee.]
Ultra Car must have teleported to the amazon to get away.
Don’t ruin the moment Danny.
Ewww, c’mon Joyce, let the man take a shower and clean the weird artificial womb juice off first before you get down to pound town
I mean, there better be one adjacent to that room, or Joyce is smelling worse than Walky right now. So I’m assuming that that’s where they’re headed during the shirt-flinging.
The third panel really conveys the reunion feeling.
Darn Joyce’s pent up libido, now we will never know what profound observation Danny was going to make.
Also, note whose top is actually coming off in that last panel.
Joe: don’t look at Joyce in her bra, don’t look at Joyce in her bra, don’t
Clearly we’ve all learned that nobody cares what Danny has to say.
I legitimately love Danny trying his hardest to wrap things up with a saturday morning cartoon moral, and just getting absolutely shut down.
