The Beginnings of the Ends
on September 20, 2020 at 12:01 amIt was a Thing to figure out where to put these. The full-page “Beginnings of the Ends” strips ran on Saturdays for free concurrently with the member strips as a way to catch up the unsubscribed with what’d been going on so far in Pay-Per-View Land, and they also sort of intermingle with the member strips as well. I crossposted them there, because they were important to the story.
So, uh, trying to balance the concept of “series of page-tall updates all in a row” with “not being too redundant or too early,” I’ve opted to dump most of them here, mid… cliffhanger? I guess before yesterday’s strip (Dorothy arriving at SEMME’s ruins) would have been more mid-cliffhangery, but the reveal of Head Alien II himself happens more naturally if you let that one slide through first, even if you interrupt their conversation for these.

For the first time it’s personal? The other times were just funzies?
checks out
I mean, at least a couple sure sound like they were.
Hey, you never know. Sometimes the funzie killing can get upgraded to the
foreverpersonal one.After this I’m probably going to have to go reread the HA2 arc in Shortpacked, since I read that long before reading Joyce and Walky.
Same. I remember being super confused by that whole thing back in the day.
If I recall correctly, that arc takes place several years after this one. So you’ve got some time to catch up.
The SEMME were created by Head Alien. They evolved. They rebelled. They look and feel human. Some are programmed to think they are Human. There are many copies. And they have a plan.*
* they actually don’t
I was kinda wondering if Head Alien was ever gonna do anything useful with all those future kids he captured.
As far as interrupting the conversation goes, I straight up just read this as the Head Alien monologuing to Dorothy about stuff she probably already knows if she’s working with him, becacuse, well, Head Alien.
Look, you sign up for working with Head Alien, you get monologues. That’s just the price of admission.
Linda had to listen to at least two a week. Neat trick when he wasn’t supposed to have her phone number.
So in countless universes all the other Head Aliens failed?
So he did it for shits and giggles?
Yeah i can see that
So has that one Shortpacked! story happened yet for him?
