At this point in the Walkyverse, it’s totally plausible that large building-sized explosions can be caused by the sneezes of little purple-spacesuited Aliens who persist in a cartoonished blackened state.
Should we assume that does or does not happen often?
But if the Aliens sneezed explosians wouldn’t they all die since it would blow up their helmets?
Maybe they have sneeze-powered weaponry?
Does this ever happen again? Does it even get referred to? Because I have no memory of this strip.
You think the aliens wouldn’t be such jokes of they could do this.
HA made them stop using pepper after this.
I keep on forgetting that Brick exists. Considering the relations he has with a main character, he doesn’t actually stand out that much nor do much.
I think you mean Beef?
Kinda would have taken the dramatic edge off if Dina walked out of that room covered in soot. Spoiler.
You’re a terrible person.
āIām sorry. This was the best I could – ACHOO!ā
But where did that explosion happen, Tony? Ohhh, up there. Why didn’t you say so?
Sorry, his dialogue just bugged me a bit.
You mean the dialog up there? Someone should go up there and proof read it. What was he thinking up there?
I kinda assumed it was a joke after re-reading. Like Alien 2 was holding a bomb, “hey guys, take a look at what I made!” Alien 1 is being an ass and uses pepper to make him sneeze.
I swear this is funny. Somehow.
Agree that this is first time I remember seeing this type of alien event occur in the strip. Don’t remember it at all. Talk about explosive sneezes.
Considering the weird sense of humor of HE, I would also have guessed that they set off a bomb for whatever reason, and then were making a feeble attempt at humor….except for the “sniff, sniff”.
Look how he’s sitting. I have a feeling he didn’t explode *up* there.
On rereading, I assumed that one of the Aliens touched the Power Booster Rod and that was the result. The sneeze thing seems like a misdirect.
