Characters: Dorothy Keener, Head Alien II
Location: Final battle wasteland
It’s good Dorothy cut Heady II off, ‘cuz he’d run out of fingers to count on.
I mean, fundamentally, what’s the diff
or is it something about ruining their wedding day
“I’ll get my revenge during your wedding so it’s extra tragic and memorable” is pretty on-brand for Head Alien, to be fair.
Try and make an impression or don’t try at all
I read Willis’ commentary as “he’d run out of fingers to cut off”.
Wow, you can almost hear the unspoken “And Guilder to frame for it” in panel 2.
So while HA II thought he had only five minutes to set stuff up, he’s been talking instead of actually trying to set things up.
It’s like when you’re reading webcomic comments when you’re supposed to be getting ready for work, keeping one eye on the clock as it ticks into “I’m going to be late” territory, and now you’re worried but you keep reading anyway.
How DARE you! I’ve never done something like that this morning.
Head Alien’s philosophy is great: “All the fun of things is in monologuing about them”. The best part is that once you said your monologue there’s no need to do anything else, you’ve already had your fun.
