Dargon, your son has just been born.

lol it’s you who inadvertently create him, you dopes
I see I was shrewd enough to draw some children-sized people in the background among the other silhouettes. Otherwise all those Britjas they’re fighting in the present day are… quite old.

Wait, so our The Cheese is artificial? Shouldn’t he be called something like The Velveeta then?
The Cheese Whiz
All cheese is artificial. “Natural” is an arbitrary concept.
Would call the concept an… artificial construct?
He’s American. That makes him “pasteurized cheese food/product.”
If Dargon HADN’T taken action, they would have not even inadvertently made the Wanderer, and probably wouldn’t have had instigated the events that would bedevil them.

You know, I kinda wonder why a child born with the wrong life signature would be of “no” use. Perhaps he couldn’t be of the same use, but maybe as some sort of spy? I dunno – Dargon seems kinda short sighted here. Then again, I can’t actually remember his plot very well – the thing that always stuck out to me was how shitty of a Dad he was.
Part of that is likely because I had to portray Jason for my It’s Walky game (he was set up as an NPC to direct the PCs), and thus deep-dived his character backstory to make sure I got him just right. I’m a method actress after all.
Willis, did you ever make a “Dargon, take me away” joke?
ok, now I’m confused as to how Wanderers get created in universes here.
Well, you’ll see the answer for this one, at least.
You see, when a mommy Wanderer and a daddy Wanderer love each other very much…
During the process it is possible that an alternate universe gets destroyed. (joking)
Well, this strip reveals that this group of interdimensional travelers joining a new universe is the trigger. As for how, that will be revealed later.
I wonder if Dargon ever realised that it was his actions that created The Cheese? There really hadn’t been one in the IW universe until he started screwing things up!
It involves some sort of time travel and he’s dead by the time we know who the original Cheese was, so I don’t think he does.
I’m a little confused as to what constitutes having the “wrong life signature”- Jason’s from another world just like all the other humans that passed through the portal, he just happened to be inside another human-shaped protective carrying case at the time.
Then again, we see good evidence later for the existence of souls in the Walkyverse, so maybe a baby isn’t actually awarded a soul until it’s popped out, drawing from the soul bank of whatever universe it’s in at the time.
That’s why he talks about “lifeforce”, not genetics.
It’s part of the idea that children aren’t really alive until they’re born.
Father of the year material right there in panel 1.
Baby Jason seems to know it in panel 3 too: minutes old and already horribly unhappy that his dad’s about to take him.
