We’re back to Peter! Remember Peter, Mary’s husband, for a while? Sal took Jason in to see him covertly to get a bullet removed while the two were on the run? Yeah, he’s back. For this! Dang, if I were Peter, I would simply not work in a hospital in the same city as SEMME, I dunno. Seems like that’d end a lot of his grief. Especially since I’m pretty sure he used to doctor back in Indiana last we saw.
dang, I just had this idea that somehow Mary got everything in the settlement, so Peter’s stuck here
poor dude, except maybe he deserved it for hooking up with Mary
“Life after Mary”
*snif* i’m so happy for him
If only Dumbiverse Peter were so wise.
… Waitaminute, we haven’t seen him since before the time skip. There’s hope! (Of course now that somebody’s said it, I’m sure Willis will keep them together…)
Dumbiverse Peter totally deserves to be with Mary, though. The only downside is that other people have to listen to them. Walkyverse Peter, I’m not sure we know enough about one way or the other.
(I hadn’t actually realised “Everyone’s going to hell except me and Mary” guy was this dude’s counterpart until your comment.)
Just had a moment of Fridge Horror: Peter and Mary had a kid, didn’t they? Did Mary get the little tyke in the divorce? If so then I feel really sorry for the kid, nobody deserves to grow up with that bongo as their only source of moral guidance.
Mary was pregnant with Peter but I’m pretty sure she had an abortion
That was the first time she got pregnant. Willis outright stated in the strip commentaries that when she got pregnant by Peter, it was deliberate (as in, she “poked holes in the condoms or whatever”) to try and ensure he got her pregnant.
“haha yeah your kid was going to die anyways” thanks paul, that’s exactly what sal wanted to hear
I think his point was that since the kid was dying anyway he would have done the transplant without the threat of death
oh yeah, I’m exaggerating a bit because *wow* that’s rough to hear
Sucks to be the one medic with a name in the entire narrative!
I like how he says he hoped things like this would stop after he left Mary as if it were a common thing for people from Mary’s past to barge in and force him to treat shady injuries, not just that one time with Sal and Jason.
Somehow, I don’t think he’s being sincere in that last panel. 😀
I guess I forgot that Peter’s no longer with Mary. So even though he’s stuck doing medical procedures for former SEMMF agents, at least he’s got that going for him.
It looked like you didn’t forget. We haven’t seen them since Mary was pregnant.
