Hey everybody, let’s lampshade our various power levels, and maybe perhaps our dissimilarities to our twin brothers. Â I’m sure this won’t be a thing later.

YEAH TWINS NEVER NOT LOOK ALIKE I KNOW HAVEN’T YOU SEEN ARNIE AND DANNY DEVITO
Hey, even they have SOME traits in common.
Financial success and commercial appeal?
My desire to pelt them with rotting squash?
You know, after reading Dumbing of Age, I have to ask: How obvious was it that Sal and Walky were related?
Not very, he kept them separated and kept Sal’s appearances down quite well.
Know the resemblance is uncanny.
And with black and white comic-style line drawings, a lot of characters end up looking similar, so you don’t necessarily assume they’re related.
Exactly.
Sorry, wrong comment. I don’t get why (spoiler) Sal’s his twin in DoA, and Beef’s his twin in the Walkyverse.
Just keep reading…
Fraternal.
You know, I forget. What was Sal doing the whole time as soon as the three of them dropped?
She shows up later in this arc if my memory serves.
She’s basically Batman.
(Presumably, finding her own way to the alien HQ as mind-wiped Joyce and no power Jason wouldn’t be of any use in her mind).
Joyce is actually thinking about how much she likes caramel.
Eh, I only like it if its salted first.
Oh, myyyyyy.
Dammit, how do people keep getting on this line!
So how exactly does Semme not know he’s an Abductee couldn’t they do some sort of DNA test to be able to tell the difference or do they really do know and are just keeping it a secret ?
Given how complicated what is going on behind the scenes at SEMME is and who knows what the answer could be all of the above.
McHenry the big boss probably knew and was keeping Walky out of danger/action on Walky’s mother’s request. My guess they want’ed Walky as unassuming as possible seeing as he presents the biggest danger to Head Allien.
Except Head Alien knew the whole time about Walky and what he and Sal were capable of. All this did was cripple Walky’s ability to fight back.
I always wondered why Walky never tackled people while screaming “Do you even know what fraternal twins are?” and strangling them when they pointed out the differences. It’s what I would have done.
To be fair, Beef doesn’t even look like Walky’s OLDER brother. I’d never even guess they were related.
I think “A Tony a Mike and Nearly a Beef later” in my new favorite way to tell time.
What Joyce was thinking “But you look exactly like Sal but with bad hair.”
Wait. Why would being mind wiped make Joyce weaker? Did she forget how to use her muscles?
She forgot to lift with her legs, not her back?
Exactly.
There’s “fraternal twins” and then there’s “Doesn’t look like they’re even part of the same family”.
Interesting… No-one bothered pointing out how easily he was helping carry Beef in the original strips (The only ones I read before now.)
