Everyone duck fer cover!

Characters: Anthony McHenry, Dina Sarazu, Head Alien, Jason Chesterfield, Monkey Master, Pic, Sal Walters
Location: Martian Embassy
The Martians really should have done something about their crumbling infrastructure. I mean, c’mon, that was just a coupla bodies that went right through the ceiling. Hmph!
Kind of a macabre character tag moment for Pic, eh?
… Better get ready to say goodbye to either Big Boss or Dina.

Isn’t there a comic between this and the last? One where Walky is seen snapping the cables and uttering that he hopes the Head Alien dies? Or am I misremembering the order of things?
That happens later.
It’s a sort of “Once more, with clarify” strip.
Man Sal, don’t you hate it when your parents drop in on you unexpectedly?
*ba-dum-tish!*
High five.
Quick Sal! Run to them and grab them quickly!…Oh wait, this is one thise “choose wisely” moments.
Get dunked on fucker.
…Wait. Did… did the floor give out before the chambers landed? I can’t think of any other way for HA to be under them and yet not squished flat…
My guess, the chamber narrowly missed HA, only to cause the floor to cave from under him.
Thinking at it from a stance of physics the chamber probably landed on head alien and then damaged and cracked the floor, then the weight of the chamber piled on to the damage of the floor then broke through.
Yeah, but the problem Adept is talking about still stands. I think Rycan’s explanation can account for it, though.
Oh look, 5/23. Drowning Pool time…
I forgot Walky pretty much kills Big Boss.
I’m going to remember this for later on.
So will Walky!
Now if only they had a way to bring dead people back. Perhaps some sort of revivification pod?
…and the body count’s only going to get worse.
Probably ought to get ready to say goodbye to both of them, just to be on the safe side.
Hoo boy, this little misadventure is gonna have plenty of lasting psychological effects, ain’t it? I mean… holy shit, there’s drama, and then there’s straight up psychological abuse of your characters, and this is just all kinds of psychological abuse.
Willis is a psychological sadist.
“Your dead parents killed your girlfriend”
“…what ?”
Not Walky’s parents.
For a bit there, I thought “Pic” meant “People in canons”.
It does now.
Seconded.
No Sal, “duck and cover” is what you do during a nuclear attack. Sheesh, keep it together!
