I kind of crack up at that third panel. Who talks like that? I guess whoever’s setting up a punchline.

I dunno, sounding pretentious is something Jason is generally good for.
That was my thought, too.
Yeah, I was gonna say, not all that out of character for him.
Oh, I was misreading that – from the pointy-thing on the speech bubble it almost looks like Joyce was saying that. But then I was confused when Sal called her “Mr. Narrator”…
Good job everyone you were absolutely no help what so ever
Past!Willis: “Ah, this strip is gonna be great. I’m gonna write this totally unreal-feeling line, and then immediately point out how stupid that line is”.
It’s like, you intentionally were writing poorly just for the sake of pointing out that you were writing poorly.
He may simply have felt – especially given that these strips were like two-thirds this size when originally posted – that some narration was required to make clear that panel two was in fact showing a ruined Alien base.
Which is why it’s hilarious.
boom!
Totally in character for Jason.
Why are the twins under the bush? Resting?
And more importantly, why didn’t they kill HA on the way out?
British people always talk like that. It’s why they get hired to narrate nature documentaries and read news reports.
Oh, but they do. From the original, British Robot Wars: one of the robots had caught fire, and the pit reporter had this conversation with one of the personnel:
– Can we have some water here please!
– Right, how much water do you want?
– Enough to put out a medium-sized fire, please.
– Got it, where do you want it?
– On the fire please.
I dunno, if you had the perspective of starting from a mundane realistic sort of understanding of the world and then it turned out to be a scifi conspiracy alien invasion sort of world, wouldn’t you want to start talking like everything was super epic (and cheesy) even on a day-to-day basis? It’s like “Five years ago I worked at Wal Mart. But today I set foot upon THE INSCRUTABLE SANDS OF ANOTHER WORLD. We must mind the tricorder, or else we’ll reap the whirlwind.” That sort of thing.
Arguably, Beef should be tagged here.
Or at least half-tagged. “ef” or “Be”.
ill say one thing those guys listen to everything head alien says he doesnt lie nor does anyone suspect him of lieing
