Look… just go away
on March 12, 2017 at 12:01 amSUNDAY STRIPS ON THE WEEKDAYS! YOU KNOW SHIT IS GOIN’ DOWN!
Time for our jaded world-weary badass powerhouse to face down our wide-eyed idealistic innocent(?) in a NO HOLDS BARRED fight to the DEATH. Place your bets!
Loading ...
By coincidence, this is running on Sunday!
Well, as innocent as you can be when you’ve murdered someone in cold blood not that long ago.
Man, Joyce internalized that fast. Walky gave her that speech, like, a month and a half ago, and it’s turned her whole worldview around!
I’m trying to figure out where Sal is coming from. Is this a post-Year Zero “we’re all monsters and must be destroyed” thing like Blade or Angel? Has Sal killed anyone besides the mind-controlled Tony? Does Sal know that Joyce killed Anti-Joyce with less cause?
I don’t think Joyce is that innocent, she did kill Anti-Joyce and there was her more recent behavior when she was trying to get Joe to have sex with her or whatever. Definitely the more idealistic of the two though.
Dammit that wasn’t supposed to be a reply.
Short version: mental issues.
Longer version: Lots and lots of mental issues.
Even longer version: [spoiler][spoiler][spoiler] of Her Majesty’s [spoiler][spoiler] the Tokugawa Era [spoiler][spoiler][spoiler] with a cocker spaniel.
(I’ve always been a little vague as to the details of that particular plot arc, since it gets so convoluted and retconny.)
…A cocker spaniel!?!?
Darn it, now you’ve gone ahead and spoiled that entire arc for me. I hope you’re happy. 😀
The key word is “yet”.
HEAD ALIEN: okay so like i told my bookie to go in on Sal but i’m thinking maybe a little on the side on Joyce
“what’s the point of betting on both, tho”
So then they team up and destroy the world, right?
Then, we shall destroy the world.
Wait, that’s where that line comes from? I’ve had it in mind for ages, and I can’t find another source. And now I remember there was an earlier appearance of it with a slight change.
well, http://www.itswalky.com/comic/its-the-rain/

My money’s on Head Alien getting away or wreaking havoc while they fight.
I’m getting Ladd Russo flashbacks (even though this predates Baccano!); you can tell your Semme mommy still loves you, Joyce, because she wants to kill everyone else first!
I bet your hands are beautiful
I’m sure your head is beautiful
but the world is ugly
the world is ugly and it’s true
Everything is beautiful. Some people just don’t know how to open their eyes and appreciate the intricate complexities.
