Dang, Sal, treat your maybe-son’s donated organs better.
Also there’s something viscerally satisfying about drawing Head Alien’s helmet shattering off in pieces. It feels more final than him just getting stabbed in the back by a spear.

Rip
More like a crack, really.
*hums 500 Miles*
Oh joy, is it time to boot up HAIII?
Wait, do we get to see Dexter’s face now?
There’s just a photo of Michael C. Hall under there.
Maybe his ‘helmet’ was his face, like Strong Bad’s lucha libre mask.
The fifth and sixth panels make it look like HAII’s helmet never had a head inside to begin with
He was only ever the helmet!
The real helmet was the friends we made along the way!
Maybe Aliens were gaseous life forms all along, and the suits are how they interact in a solid-heavy world!
Wait, are we going to get a look at his ugly ass mug? That’s something I never actually prepared for.
Maybe it’ll turn out that HAII’s face is not ugly. Either way, I definitely didn’t expect that we might see him without the helmet.
rest in peace head alien II, you would probably be missed if you weren’t trying to murder everyone
It’s tough to imagine a more fitting end for Head Alien than “literally stabbed in the back by his favorite victim after a final manipulative speech”, but “died while laughing at his own joke” comes pretty close.
Also being to arrogant to think someone was sneaking up behind him.
Eh, arrogance is a pretty typical part of the cartoon villain repertoire. I don’t rate it’s exploitation as a vital component of a satisfying defeat.
“that’s not funny… that’s not…”
Oohoo the helmet shatter made my eyes BUG.
Ding dong. The alien is dead.
If I remember the Shortpacked! Comics right.
This isn’t the end.
It’s complicated but basically, from Head Alien II’s perspective, all of Shortpacked! happens and then all of Joyce & Walky!, while from the perspective of the rest of the cast they happen moreorless in release order.
Isn’t that contrary to Robin’s solution to the problem of his continued existence?
I think the Head Alien trapped in the drama tag dimension was another copy.
Robin explicitly says she tried very hard but couldn’t kill him.
I was talking more about the references to things that happened at their wedding.
Don’t mess with Jason (except if he wears a bowtie).
Never try to conquer a planet where you can’t breathe the air. It rarely goes well.
It’s funny how, despite all of the abductee powers and alien tech, the day is won by a plain old unaugmented homo sapiens (eruditus britanicus subspecies) wielding that most ancient of ancestral weapons, the honkin’ big improvised club.
Also Sal would be absolutely horrified to see how much she resembles Linda in the first panel.
Superlative move, Jason!
Getting some serious Joker vibes from Head Alien II’s… death, here? …no, that can’t be right, I know from Shortpacked! that some shit goes down that hasn’t happened yet… curious to see what’s going on there, then.
I still think Sal finally stabbing the bongo when he had the audacity to try the “if you kill me” crap was the most satisfying of his three(?) deaths, though.
I had never realized that HA’s helmet was made of a shattery material. I’d always envisioned it as sort of semi-rigid, like a hard rubber ball.
AND JASON BRINGS IT HOME
