Wake up, Tony. They’re gone.
on February 24, 2018 at 12:01 amThis is my favorite Tony strip. I think T wrote it. I told y’all, T writes a good Tony.
He’s just so happy that everything was finally over, you guys. That one second or two of complete bliss.
Things seem to be over on Squad 128’s side, but we’ve still got a few loose ends to tie up… or leave frayed out in the sun until the next story sets them on fire.
I spoke about how Mist’s contradictions kind of leave me puzzled now, but this strip’s a good example of contradictions that work. For once it’s Tony who sounds like a little kid for a minute, and then it’s Tony who comes up right to the edge of sounding like he’s aware he’s in a comic strip. Both those things are normally Walky, Joyce, or HA’s bag. But it all works, because it’s all informed by the tragedy at his core.
He understands, at least, that his world seems to work a certain way consistently. “No one’s dead until you see the body.”

“No one’s dead until you see the body.”
….. but we saw Tony’s body.
He got better!
They’re not always dead even if you see the body. He knows from experience.
Yes, but that’s less of a guarantee. Not seeing the body means they’re definitely alive.
Tony knows that in his universe even if some dies and you see their body they can still be brought back to life.
Took me a moment to realize the mark on Joe’s forehead is a bump from when the rock hit him.
Goodbye to these visitors from someone else’s narrative.
Enjoy your nap in the dirt Jackass.
I like “along with the sci-fi club”. Someone else might say “along with those people from the other universe”, because that’s what the investigation was for and what stands out most about them. But apparently meeting them quickly establishes otherwise.
