on February 28, 2018 at 12:01 amIT IS OVER, FINISHED!
On a Monday strip, because, really, this epilogue bit didn’t need the whole Sunday treatment, no?
Anyway, this checks off one last item on the very long list of sweet stuff I was able to wrangle out of this crossover. After Joe has a run-in with Jackie, aka nerd babe hottie, he starts to question his closet nerdness versus his public reputation. I’m sure this has nothing to do with his ongoing character development.
Let’s see, the rest of the list includes the aforementioned “ticking bomb” of Joyce and Walky’s relationship, Walky’s inflated sense of … whatever he’s got going on, Dina’s had a few important moments, we got to see what The Cheese CAN’T do, and holy crap even Tony got a few good strips. All that plus we got to subvert the usual pattern of comic crossover plots, and you know how I love my subversions. Oh, and I improved my comics forever and ever by having to switch to a typeface in order to fit all these words in. Oh, AND I got to work with T and see my guys drawn by a Waltrip.
It was a good.
Joe’s bedmate is new, of course. I rather envy her ability to go from zero to “zzz” in about 1.5 seconds.Jackie’s blanket statement about “women” was obviously not a reliable description of all women everywhere, and Squad 128’s high-adrenaline culture might not be the best place to look for women who value builders over brawn. We’ve already established the science division is basically Joe, Professor Doc, and Dina.Still, we leave Joe with a little hunger that he can’t yet name. Yeah, I still like most of the quiet moments like this one.Aaaand this is it, the last It’s Walky! I had a role in, and thus this is my last installment of the commentary track, It’s Talky. Thanks, David and everyone, you’ve been great.

Is falling asleep fast her special abductee power? I’m jealous.
like Mankanshoku Mako?
At first I thought this woman with Joe was Sarah, but clearly her hair is too short. Also I’m pretty sure Sarah doesn’t know Joe’s still alive.
I don’t think Sarah cares about Joe’s whereabouts. If I remember correctly she was pissed at him, maybe because she wanted more than an adventure with him.
Also she smile
Ok so I got to the end of book 5 of FANS which feels like it should be serious finale but isn’t because of book 6 & 7 which is odd. Either way the was a blast. I feel like it’s made a fan out of me. ( no pun intended)
True confessions! The end of Book 5 of Fans was indeed a series finale. I walked away from Fans after that and did not intend to return… but a few years later I started to realize my head was full of ideas about the new situation shown at the end of that book, so I picked the series back up for a second run.
It feels finished to me now, more so than before. Occasionally the changing perceptions of fandom and government service in the post-2012 era makes me waver in that decision (and I got as far as discussing that with Jason at one point), but Guilded Age has mostly been my outlet in the 2010s, and when that one wraps (soon), I ‘spect I’ll do short, focused projects for a bit and then something else.
Thanks for the fun crossover T!
Doesn’t Mechanical Guy have a nickname? Or is it only called it Other Jacob in DofA?
I don’t understand what Joe is talking about here, is he asking her if she has ever fucked a Transformer?
Joe’s asking if she ever slept with a guy who was into nerd stuff like mechanics. This seems weird to me, a nerd who frankly shouldn’t be trusted with a screwdriver lest he injure himself and others, but nerdery comes in many forms, I guess.
Am a little disappointed the crossover is over, I enjoyed the run. Also, who the heck falls asleep that fast?
Aww, I’m gonna miss T’s commentary. It was super interesting.
I have to say, this crossover was a joy to experience – and adding to the fun was both artists’ commentary.
I pretty much live for this sort of thing – crossovers! with commentary! from BOTH people??! Thanks you guys! It really was awesome.
I think her name should be Nox. Because she sleeps fast and gets knocked up. Idk I probably shouldn’t be doing anything at my time of night.
