Characters: Anthony McHenry, David Walkerton, Jason Chesterfield, Joyce Brown, Mike Warner, Monkey Master, Sal Walters
Location: Denver, Colorado
So anyway, I guess Sal rescued Big Boss against his will! Phew.
That wasn’t meant to sound sarcastic. Stop trying to sacrifice yourselves needlessly, everybody.

Nice choice of words Jason.
If this was a DoA strip, there’d be a huge number of people saying ‘Slipshine title?’
…aaaand I am officially creeped out. >_<
Well whether Sal comes is up to her
I award you one internet, and may God have mercy on your soul.
What, “Amazin’ How Big Boss Fit Between Them Bars So Easily: An It’s Walky! Pornographique”??
So they were able to get him out of there no problem so that means all that Drama earlier was for absolutely nothing.
Why was this not the plan from the beginning? Why are Jason, Walky, and Mike even on the monkey? Why did they not just send Sal to bust Big Boss out and Joyce to plant the bomb?
Because nobody at SEMME actually understands strategy and logistics.
At least Jason does it, and he gets all pissy when he’s not in charge.
Well yeah, they’re not soldiers. They’re kids with super powers that were declared soldiers by dint of their super powers. I get the impression that the majority of their training is “beat up these little purple guys… no, Joyce THEY ARE NOT CUTE! Stop saying that!”
I mean, every time an outsider talks about how screwed up Semme is, well, they’re right. And it’s what MAKES the story. I don’t think any of the current entertainment value would survive if the story had been written about an actual professional military/paramilitary organization acting efficiently.
And why each and everyone of them insisted in trying to do a heroic sacrifice when there were perfectly feasible means of escape available? Why does everyone suddenly default to it so easily in this particular storyline?
That’s honestly something I actually really love about It’s Walky; the characters are dumb sometimes. They’re 20 year olds with superpowers waging a barely secret war against a tiny alien jackass.
Except the story doesn’t even acknowledge how stupid they’re being (in this particular situation).
There’s a difference between “dumb” and “To be, or not to be, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to blow yourself and all your friends up with a suicide bomb, or to set the bomb and then leave by one of a number of available routes, thus blowing up the enemy but not yourself and all your friends. … Yep, suicide bomb sounds like the best solution here!”
I guess they are all learning strategy and logistics….and while doing that: Sal dragged Big Boss our thru the bars and up to the top.
I’m not so sure he fit “so easily….between those bars”. He doesn’t seem to spry.
Oh man! This WHOLE time I was thinking that those bars looked wide enough to slip through! I thought it was just, um, sketchy art!
He probably slipped just like Barney in Viva Rock Vegas(anyone remembers that movie?).
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Head Alien built the Tummy Cell will bars large enough for humans to get through with only trivial discomfort. It’s things like this that make me wonder if he wants to win or whether this is just one elaborate way to deal with boredom!
Rather than the bars, the biggest problem was problably to actually get down the robot. It looks like a big fall from up there.
Well he’s been playing the long game from the start. After all kidnapping, generically modifying, and brainwashing children then waiting for them to grow up only have that plan fall apart… is a very long play. The question becomes what does he consider just a battle, and what does he see as “the war.”
A better question, outside of being killed directly, would Head Alien die from aging. He doesn’t seem to be worried about that, and is willing to keep on keeping on.
Portly middle-aged humans, no less! Imagine how easy it would be for most of Squad 128 to get in and out of that cell.
It might trap, like, Joe or Galasso or something??
Or Joelasso, the womanizing would-be world-conquerer created in a bizarre accident! (It scares me that I was deliberately going for “Incredibly ridiculous” and instead hit on “Plausible Walkyverse AU.”)
Head Alien really looks bad in this plot, not only is his super weapon incredibly poorly designed, he managed to fail at making a prison cell and can’t even kill off a group of idiots who are all racing to get themselves killed unnecessarily.
he was counting on their intense desperation to not be in Denver
Everyone in this plot is super high right now
Like 5280 ft above sea level at least
Somebody set up us the bomb. (I hate to do it, but SOMEbody had to…)
You actually got the word order right! I love you!
Well Big Boss probably had to suck it in but yeah, those bars are wide enoug.
