And here’s the Head Alien properly introduced and in his full  Head Alien regalia, rather than just the towel tied around his neck.  That second panel is giving me serious Klik & Play flashbacks.

No, not really surprising, seeing as the Mind Wiper hadn’t been established yet.
I know you’ve mentioned that the HA sounds like Jon Lovitz, but for some reason I always hear Eddie Deezen.
I always get The Monarch from The Venture Bros..
Always got the guy who played Frazier in my head, Kelsey Grammer. Lovitz would definitely be a more jovial performance.
In my head, it has been a mix of the Mark Hamill Joker with a subtle bit of that autotuned scream effect used in The Matrix and Portal 2.
I don’t really assign voices that much, but if I did, it’d probably be Max of Sam & Max fame.
Gilbert Godfried for me.
Personally, I always hear David Kaye’s BW Megatron voice.
I know it’s a little obvious, but I always hear Marvin the Martian.
It’s Starscream for me.
Oooh, that’s a good one. Prime Starscream?
Will Smith
Yup
A pretty good introduction, seems menacing enough.
And then he messes up.
You know, HA keeps showing up in person around super people that want to hurt him, it’s a wonder he didn’t die more than he does.
If he did it would only go according to his plan……………….,,,
Dude just can’t resist taunting the bear.
It begins…
Oh my God.
He posted a link to the old games. I remember reading about them on the old It’s Walky forum but the site that hosted them was down.
I am kind of freaking out right now.
don’t get your hopes up
They won’t run on my Windows 7 machine anyway…
you are spared
“I will destroy your feeble robot like an old, senile dog!!”???
Eesh.
This appears to be the first appearance of HA’s distinctive speech bubbles as well.
Naw, they’ve always been around: http://www.bringbackroomies.com/comic/nastysurgery/
Jeez. For some reason I always thought only HA had the special speech bubble and the other aliens had regular ones. Shows how much attention I was paying back then.
Aw yiss, the Walkerton games! I am inordinately excited!
(I mean, I haven’t really got any reason to be, but they seem so oddly fascinating.)
Does the title card for game 2 remind anyone else of Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff?
YESSS !
Heady is here, now things can really start (screwing up for everyone ) !
He actually calls himself “head alien”? Okay, what the hell, why not.
…you know, since because to them it’s the humans that are the- oh never mind.
😛
We cover this later. He comes from the planet Alien.
Oh, I gotta find a way to play those games… maybe my old Toshiba laptop will be able to play ’em…. hmmmm…
Something I just realized. We have it firmly established young Willis was a a fundamentalist who was raised in a hard core fundie house hold and that DOA Joyce is basically his biographical character. Well, how come aliens are allowed in his world view? Maybe I’m just unfamiliar with how things work in the hard core Christian side of things, but wouldn’t a worldview where God created the world 6000 years ago and evolution is just a thing the scientists made up also be one that would preclude life existing on any place other than our little blue sphere? Especially evil alien life that tries to kill or enslave us? Just trying to figure out the logic here.
I don’t think Joyce was conciously his autobiographical character for a long time. It’s like a fish writing a story — fish may not believe in earth-dwellers, but they may include a horrific group of villain fishermen to add excitement, and they probably won’t notice all their characters have gills.
…wait, that was the worstest metaphor. Anyway, aliens may not be allowed in past-Willis’ world-view, but they can still be useful as a story tool.
I don’t think it has anything to do with Young Willis believing in aliens. He was a fan of Transformers and science fictiony things like everyone else, and he was just using aliens cuz he thought they were cool, or fun, or funny, or interesting (or something).
He’s not including them because he actually thought they existed. Nor was liking them “anti-Christian.”
….
And nobody else sees this?
Clearly the Aliens have the latest in Somebody Else’s Problem Field technology.
