Recreation complete
on January 22, 2017 at 12:01 amAnd so “Culmination” begins, the overarching chapter title for a bunch of storylines. It’s titled that because, frankly, this wraps up the last parts of what I had planned long ago when Roomies! first started. I wouldn’t have known it would have played out exactly as it would at the time, but some important Happenings were to have happened. I’ll point them out as we go along.
This is the only time we see an Alien without their spacesuit. It’s silhouetted, of course, ‘cuz even I don’t want to know for sure. I guess they’re kinda chunky under there, like Oscar the Grouch or something.
Loading ...
I figured the suit was their skin
kinda is, for all intents and purposes
Dear Head Alien, do you take your atmospheric helmet and claw hand off before you go to bed
Specially the claw, he can accidentaly poke himself while he’s asleep.
He likes it!
Dear Head Alien, if you hate Waly so much, why don’t you kill him?
Kind of like Strong Bad’s lucha libre mask?
Dear Head Alien,
How do you type with
boxing gloves onlobster claws?Crapfully yours,
Abdi
I didn’t realize they were wearing suits, since we never really see the aliens without them.
Nobody wants to see Alien junk.
*is probably wrong…is afraid to try to search to find evidence*
Depends on what species I suppose.
No it doesn’t…people are weird.
Well, I specifically meant the species named Aliens.
I know full well people want to see alien junk. (Gimme a naked Caitian, Twi’lek or Asari, and I’ll be happy. >_>)
(Also, I have seen a disturbing amount of Xenomorph porn, which doesn’t even really make sense…)
The Alien (also known as a Xenomorph XX121 or Internecivus raptus) is a fictional endoparasitoid extraterrestrial species. From Wikipedia.
Head Alien is like if you cross Vandal Savage with one of the toy aliens form Toy Story.

Wait, the claw is biological?
always
Oh huh. That’s neat. I figured it was just a Saturday morning cartoon affectation.
AW YEAH HERE WE GO.
This is fun because you really can define the series’ fulcrum at this point. There’s ‘It’s Walky!’ before this arc, and there’s ‘It’s Walky!’ after this arc.
Oh God yes. This upcoming storyline is the best and It’s Walky! just keeps skyrocketing in quality from here on out.
It’s funny, I’ve actually thought for a while now how the events of this in-universe day work pretty well as a grand finale to It’s Walky.
[SPOILERS]
There are loose threads coming off of it, such as the organization that brainwashed Linda, the escape of both the Head Alien and the Cheese, etc. But those things could have easily been rewritten to better fit an immediate ending if David Willis really wanted to.
Oscar is FURRY, not chunky.
Ok, it’s really matted fur, but fur nonetheless.
Trust me. I’ve seen the puppet (and Carrol Spinney, his puppeteer) up close in person.
I keep forgetting that Oscar and Big Bird have the same main Muppetteer. (IIRC, when the two characters interact, he fully performs Big Bird, and just voices Oscar. Must make it hard for the guy running Oscar.)
That last panel is one that’s always stuck with me.
I really love it because despite Head Alien’s usual bravado, it’s such a nervous laugh. He knows he got away with one this time. He might not get so lucky again.
Are these and the last page out of order?
They were. It was deleted and published properly the next day.

I don’t know why it hit me on this strip, but I finally realize whose voice it is I read in my head for the Head Alien – Mark Hamill! Duh.
Finally
Say hello, Dexter!
