There we go! We good, right? Eh?? EHH???
Walky did the right thing and I’m sure that solved everything.
Anyway, there’s a framed photo just barely peeking into the second panel. Though the other two are of the original Big Boss, Tony’s dad, the third one is actually a page from Scott McCloud’s The New Adventures of Abraham Lincoln. Specifically the splash page where an impostor Abraham Lincoln punches through the wall dramatically while announcing, “I CARE! THAT’S WHO!” while some kid shouts “OH MY GOD IT’S ABRAHAM LINCOLN!!”
It’s art.
And so Walky solved the problem once and for all.
“But-”
ONCE AND FOR ALL.
“all right” is growly-faced
Okay, so…
correct me if I’m wrong…
I’m pretty sure there’s no payoff for that last panel. Tony and Walky don’t really interact at all for the rest of the comic.
Okay, wait, they do, after the Canadian Anomoly. But there’s no payoff specifically for this resentment Tomy feels right noe. It doesn’t really produce anything for the story. Tony jusy zips right from resentment to acknowledgement of Walky as commander.
Have they just not figured out how to use the alien reincarnation tech at this point? Tony’s here, is there some other reason they couldn’t have brought his dad back from the dead? (Maybe politics?)
…you nailed it. It’s not explained until Shortpacked! why but that’s the gist of it
Tony was resurrected by Head Alien, wasn’t he, not SEMME?
Well, they do interact in Canada, but nothing hostile.
I’m sure Tony will be fine.
He’s gonna get baked
Into a pizza
Because it was on sale and that’s Professor Doc rolls
Wait, what’s this in reference to?
I really need to go and reread the comic.
Tony’s dad (former Big Boss) was killed on a raid of Head Alien’s underwater base. Walky accidentally dropped the resurrection chamber of Sal’s dead parents on him. Walky just told Tony the truth about what happened.
Here’s the stip: http://www.itswalky.com/comic/everyone-duck-fer-cover/
IIRC, technically it was the Martian Embassy, not the (a) Alien Base.
We’re good….at least I think we’re good even though It doesn’t feel like it- No no he’s good, I’m good, we’re all good.
But uh, everything’s perfectly all right now. We’re fine. We’re all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
*punches Tony*
Boring conversation, anyway.
David Walkerton.
You killed my father.
Prepare to die.
It’s amazing how many characters in the strip were quite able to betray humanity to alien invaders because of petty personal grudges.
…Come to think, if Sal had saved Anthony McHenry things would have just been kind of… objectively better, huh? I mean, Dina’s great and all, but she went and got kaboomed anyways, so…
