All the blud is rushing due by head…
on January 18, 2018 at 12:01 amIf I recall, T’s original idea was for Shanna and Meighan to be strung up inside Head Alien’s ship by spiderwebs. I was like, yeah, okay, that’s certainly creepier and more effective, but Head Alien opts for the simple duct tape, yo. That’s how he do. And so here we are. That’s probably why Meighan’s upside down. The upside-downness seems like it’s more a deliberate choice when it’s duct tape on a table, but spider-webs have a mind of their own.
and yeah my bad guys aren’t very outwardly threatening, giant robot monster gorilla besides
HEY T GIMME SOME WORDS
One time, when I was thirteen or so, I didn’t listen too carefully when my mom described, multiple times, what I should expect at the dentists’ office that day. So what I thought was a regular checkup was instead an appointment to extract a couple of stubborn molars, which involved a lot more pain than I was expecting. I have no one to blame for that surprise but me, but since then, I’ve had a phobia of the dentist’s chair, and my time in there this week tells me I probably always will.
But the hardest part is the anticipation. Before I get into the chair, there’s a wide margin into which I can scribble my irrational fears, but it shrinks once actual information starts filling that space. “Okay,” I thought during this week’s visit, “she’s cleaning those back teeth, so guess what that means? Means she’s not going to surprise-yoink them out, you dumbass.”
This has been a roundabout analogy, but I’m sure you can guess where it’s going. Shanna’s experiences have left her weirdly both more and less vulnerable as a POW: jittery as hell before the experience begins, but wise to a lot of the tricks once they start coming. If HA had stuck with his plan of maintaining silence in front of his abductees, just for a bit, it would’ve gotten Shanna’s imagination working against her. But as it is, her reaction is pretty much inevitable.
I love this moment. Get on Shanna’s level, Head Alien.
Never gonna happen, in any dimension.

Is she laughing because she doesn’t believe HA’s claim that he’s ruler of the world, or just because they look kinda silly as villains?
Not sure, but “And this is my monkey.” got me.
It would have came off as some odd euphemism if the actaul monkey wasn’t present.
well he’s clearly overcompensating for something being tiny…
😂
But … he’s a (robot) ape?
All three. H.A. missed his villain’s entrance by that much.
…it’s the Martians that have the spider motif, isn’t it? Alien aesthetics tend to be a lot more…scattershot.
It’s weird seeing Heady’s speech bubbles approaching perfect octogons, as opposed to just having the corners cut off.
I can’t believe I didn’t catch this the first time through, but . . . doesn’t the duct tape only work on abductees? The girls should be able to pull free with ease. Hell, Meighan should just fall free without hardly any resistance. (don’t know about Shanna; she seems pretty scrawny)
Maybe it’s Gorilla Tape?
It’s pretty strong stuff and as Mythbusters has pointed out multiple times it’s capable of doing a lot of things we never thought of including holding a normal person in place especially one who doesn’t have superstrength
Yeah I would have laughed too.
Poor Head Alien! Whenever he tries that introduction, it always seems to have this result. Maybe it’s the delivery? Maybe he needs more mood lighting and evil laughter? XD
It’s impossibly to have gravitas when you sound like Jon Lovitz.
“Would you like to touch my monkey?”
“I would be honored to.”
“Touch him! Love him! Liebe meine abschmenkee!”
Following the link to the Fans!-with-commentary page, and refreshing my memory of the early strip…
…I can’t remember if this happens, but I want the groups to compare their pop culture and each become absolutely convinced that the others’ world is a ridiculous parody of their own. 😀
Is this the first panty shot to ever appear in It’s Walky!?
I guess technically this is a Fans strip, but we know how our favorite pornlord needed to get eased into it, so to speak.
Ah, duct tape. So versatile … so useful … so much easier to draw than spiderwebs.
I’m sure Meighan being taped to a wall upside down is supposed to be funny, but it reminds me just a bit too much of the horror stories I’ve read about the production of the Channel Awesome movies for me to laugh.
