Death from above
on May 24, 2016 at 12:01 amBack when this storyline was going on, I was part of Keenspot, and everyone in Keenspot got a monthly rotation in the Newsbox that featured on everyone’s pages.  We all had some disparately-toned content, and so there was a “normal” Newsbox and a “G-rated” Newsbox for the folks who didn’t want sexytimes or whatnot in them.  And I was like, ha ha ha ha ha, what if my Newsbox was a pile of corpses landing on somebody and killing them, obviously I wouldn’t do that, that is TOO EXTREME!  But co-Keenspot guy Darren Bleuel was all like NOPE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME AND I TOTALLY INSIST and so that month’s It’s Walky! newsbox was a pile of corpses landing on somebody and killing them.  What was the G-rated box?  I don’t remember.  Let me go dig them both up.
Aha. Â Walky’s horrified face. Â Yeah, that works.
I have a feeling some other webcomics switched to the G-rated box that day.
That skull has a mustache.
He has deep roots.
Wrong, that’s clearly a brown batarang.
but how did you get more readers when you showed off the best stuff?!
Those Walkertons sure have it in for those McHenrys, don’t they?
Shit, that never occurred to me.
Huh, how about that.
Those are the Walters, actually.
I think Walky meant that this is the second time one of the Walkerton twins ended up killing a McHenry.
Mostly Sal, too.
This is going to be so hard for Walky to explain: “I may have dropped a ress chamber on Big Boss, but the HA was crushed by it as well…Hooray..!”
Mike should chime in: “Big Boss always said, ‘That boy will be the death of me'”
Seriously Walky, did you really have to use the one thing that could have brought people back as a bludgeoning weapon? :/
That’s not the Resurrection Chamber. He never got inside the Martian Embassy, remember? That’s just some transport/display tubes.
Oh. I figured those were a pair of resurrection chambers that came with the UFO or something.
Well, “Bring Your Parents To Work Day” could’ve gone smoother.
Seems more like “Bring Work to the Parents Day”.
Bodies smodies, check out that Sal booty in panel 3
Sal is so damn sexy…
…..THIS is the page you feel the need to point this out? Really?
That’s why sex&crime contents sells so well. Don’t like the sexiness? Let the horror and gore of the crime distract you from it. Fed up with the gore? Let the sexy help take your mind off it.
Early onset Butts disease.
You gotta admit, that’s a lovely shot of her posterior in panel 3.
This is why I love It’s Walky!.
Very few fiction lets their characters fuck up in unacceptable ways. Mistakes are always acceptable or explainable, something that a character can do and still remain morally in the clear, and Damn You Willis will have none of that, taking his wacky screwball lead and having him drop Sal’s dead parents on his boss. It’s not even a “okay I guess I should be a better person now” kind of mistake, because the way Walky tries to deal with it is, well, about as Walky as possible.
Also I should have been commenting during the entire storyline because between Anti-Joyce and this is when IW! became one of the best webcomics to grace the internet and never let up, so there’s that.
This is something that has always bugged me. I don’t see why Sal had to pick between Big Boss or Dina. They were standing right next to each other, and Sal sure is strong enough to move both, so why doesn’t she?
Because then there would be no angst.
She’s diving, so I’d say it’s not about strength but momentum, the more mass she grabs the more she’ll slow down in mid-air and the less likely they’ll be to clear the danger zone.
Or, she’s just not used to saving people and it didn’t occur to her to grab both in the heat of the moment.
I was gonna say, are we sure Sal is strong enough to move two adults (especially a heavyset middle aged guy), but she has superstrength, right? I get a little mixed up on the strength levels for each character.
What I don’t get is the Boss’ reaction. Isn’t he trained as well? How could he panic, give in to instinct, and crouch down?
Sal had time to shout, run from wherever she was, and save Dina, while Big Boss simply froze.
He’s an old tired guy who’s already lost a lot and isn’t used to field duty.
My question is why he was doing field duty in the first place. Who does he think he is, Jean Luc-Picard?
I’m an horrible person, and I have no regrets about it:

That John Walters, he always did have trouble keeping his head on straight. He was always losing his mind. He always did have trouble keeping his wits about him.
