Rescuing Machete
on May 13, 2020 at 12:01 amChapter: All My Children
Location: Final battle wasteland
Yeah, the title of this storyline is “All My Children”! Because there’s a buttload of Future Kids From Various Alternate Universes here.
is that a Marcie/somebody child, lith/mike’s kid, a… half-brother of machete who’d be the kid of… i dunno, joyce and… somebody with those glasses, bobbi and d.j. again, walky/tony’s kid again (who’s here to rescue Jean Rosenthal, another junior high-era character of mine, the daughter of Joe and Rachel), BROCK DOC, somebody with galasso’s nose, somebody with billie’s eyes…

Did Shortpacked exist at this point? Is the Galasso nose a deliberate reference?
Shortpacked! had been around for nearly three years by now. That’s definitely a Galasso nose.
I wonder if we’ll ever see the canonical future kids who fight back against the second coming of the martians
I mean, this year’s April Fool’s Shortpacked featured Donna again, and she’s like eight or nine now.
I’d kind of like to see Future Kids vs Martians vs Soggies, honestly.
… I assumed that Ethan used the Thanos-Snap to eliminate the Soggies last year since the world seems to be back to mostly normal in this years strip.
Maybe Mike, since IIRC Willis apparently said that the wake held for Mike in S*P was for Walkyverse!Mike?
Found the citation for that: https://twitter.com/damnyouwillis/status/1222028631578378240
Joe still has the secret resurrection chamber room, doesn’t he?
Wasn’t that handed over to the US government?
Ah. That would make sense.
As far as being returned to the government – was it never not theirs? Joe was working in a secret government lab if I remember correctly (which is like 60/40).
I’m amused that this kid is specifically Walky/Tony’s kid and not Sal/Tony’s kid
Why is one of those kids Davan
Joyce and Howard, maybe? Also, ew.
Definitely Joyce and Davan from Something Positive
If we’ve got a Walky/Tony kid, and we’re doing Shortpacked kids, maybe Joyce and Amber (who I think would have had those glasses at the time).
Wow that is a lot of alternate universe future kids. Maybe instead of arguing they should just focus on trying to rescue Machete already.
I gotta ask
Why are glasses genetic?
Bad vision is genetic.
Source: Am nearsighted and have needed glasses since third grade, just like both parents.
I know bad vision is genetic, I mean why would the kids inherit the same shape of glasses as the parent? THOSE aren’t genetic!
Glasses are exoskeleton growths that form as the body’s response to bad eyesight.
This is why we don’t create new timelines for funzies/torture, HA!
Lith/Mike is hilarious.
At some point during the original run of the strip I proposed a Joyce/Hooper offspring just for shits and giggles.
After several hours spent looking at this panel, here’s my top 3:
1. Lith/Mike
2. Brock Doc
3. Marcie/Walky??
These kids are the end results of all those crack pairing “two people making out” Kickstarter tiers Willis draws for his books.
