ha ha ha ha patch madam
Anyway, I don’t recall if we ever find out the answer to Jason’s first-panel question. Am I just lampshading this incongruity before never giving the solution to save my own ass? I dunno. I forget.

woo dated jokes that no one who didn’t know about Patch Adams would get
Yes but who doesn’t know who Patch Adams is?
I’ll admit, my first though was, ‘why is Sal calling Penny a Cabbage Patch?’
Everyone should know who Patch Adams is. If only because if they didn’t, that would mean there’s a Robin Williams movie they missed, and that would be a travesty.
Eh, not every movie he made was great. I didn’t much care for “Boulevard”, for instance.
Patch Madam, that’s a good one.
They’d served their purpose and need to be disposed of?
Penny’s plans are half-baked, terrible, and made on the fly?
C) All of the above
Not to mention that she’s completely insane and that doesn’t mix well with designing plans.
Also true. She can’t even decide what order the ‘fuck, kill, dismember’ plan goes in. Definitely not a stable person.
She hates them, plain and simple. They are the pet project of Dargon and the friends of Dargon’s son who were gifted superpowers and official status while she rot and became unhinged in the shadows. This is a show of the power she thinks she has: If she manages to destroy SEMME, it’d prove that she can handle the Martians better than they would.
Jason, ferchrissake, there’s only a one in three chance you get anything out of this.
Sal, you don’t have a multiversal artifact of ultimate power anymore, don’t brag.
It’s possible Dargon and Penny’s plans were very different, and Penny had no actual endgame besides just gathering followers, thus she’s being coy in just not giving Jason an answer out of a sadistic streak.
In other words, even Penny’s not sure what her organization had planned?
I wonder if she even knows what the organization’s named. She probably never even asked because she was too busy concocting half-baked world domination plans.
So I’m assuming Jason has some plan for how to get out of getting killed by Penny here. That or he really wants her to kill him.
IIRC, SPOILERS: the gun was empty, and he knew it.
