Duct tape? Of all materials?
Ooh pumpkin spice season. I must flee that trend!
hey it’s been pumpkin spice season since mid-august
I’m beginning to think Starbucks sneaks it in earlier and earlier each year.
to quote some of the greats: “Failure is always an option”
Maxim 70: Failure is not an option – it is mandatory. The option is whether or not to let failure be the last thing you do.
Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery, hmm… but weakness, folly, failure also. Yes: failure, most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is.
Head Alien must have sensed the last remnants of the drama tag.
Hoisted by his own petard!
Or rather his own programmed-in failsafe to keep a bunch of genetically modified human kids who would all have MANY reasons to hate him immobilized.(I feel like that’s known information by now in-comic but can’t remember when exactly it’s established, though I know it was before this particular block ran.)I read through the entire comic earlier this year and I don’t recall that, but it was my first readthrough so I’m sure there are things I missed and would remember if I’d read through more times. I’ll assume you’re correct.
It’s entirely possible it was ACTUALLY established over in Shortpacked, not the Joyce and Walky trio of comics. Either way, it’s not really meant to be a big reveal here because if we’re not already in strips that came out after Shortpacked ended, we will be, like, tomorrow, so I don’t feel too bad.
Remind yourself that Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer
Overconfidence kills much faster when it involves skydiving. Or a motorcycle.
Or crashing a wedding with an army of brainwashed future kids
Heh– the good old duct tape, back for the finale!
Though I have to wonder who it is that’s taping her down, and where they got the tape. I doubt either Joyce and Walky would just happen to have it on their person in their wedding attire– I’m guessing wedding dresses don’t typically have pockets– and nobody else is tagged, I’m guessing to avoid spoilers.
Maybe Robin just made a quick run to Lowes.
I’m assuming Robin too.
I’m surprised someone with a Doctor Who themed name is guessing wedding dresses don’t have pockets — ISTR Donna Noble being very vocal on the subject.
Using “I guess” when it isn’t strictly necessary seems to be one of my writing tics.
In any case, it’s been a while since I last rewatched much Who. Honestly, the sheer amount of negativity about the show on the internet these days (whether you believe it’s deserved or not) has kinda made me want to think about it less. The current era has its flaws, to be sure, but I haven’t hated it– and it feels like every other post on most of the places I used to visit a lot between seasons is someone saying it’s the worst ever, which just kinda gets me down.
“Now I’m in your superstrong almost-girlfriend’s body”
I can’t help but notice that Head Alien isn’t looking to his left, i.e. at Walky specifically, when he says this, and is instead looking at both him and Joyce at once.
He’s probably learned to at least not take his eyes off a potential threat.
…maybe.
Probably unintentional but it’s a nice bookend with the Year Zero redraws, in which Heady directly alludes to the possibility of being jinxed, and despite this does flee to fight another day.
I also like “I’ll even keep the monkey”, you know, like he’s doing Joyce and Walky a favor.
Heady didn’t actually fight at all in this arc, huh? Kind of a waste of Dorothy’s abducteeness, but I guess given his own inexperience in battle it woulda been kind of a retread of Walky vs Dorothy.
Heady failed to make effective use of any of the resources at his disposal, not just his host’s abductee powers
There’s literally no way that holds right?
…
Right?
It’ll hold. Abductees are conditioned to be unable to break Duct Tape restraints
Except she is not an abductee.
You sure about that

Yes, they were abducted, she volunteered.
“… eeeeeetty bitty living space.”
Nobody expects duct tape.
Everybody expects duct tape.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
ha may be genresavvy but his problem is he thinks this is the kind of comic that has an end when he’s winning and thinks it’s not when he’s losing
“what if instead of the end of IT’S WALKY, this story was NOT the end of IT’S WALKY, what if it just kept repeating the same fight with basically the same guy over and over until the cartoonist died, wouldn’t that be better”
i mean even newspaper adventure strips have more than one bad guy
Oh Heady…. to paraphrase the probably very mortal words of Eggsy from Kingsman: the Secret Service: “This ain’t that kinda comic, bruv.”
