WALKYYY!!
on May 4, 2018 at 12:01 amChapter: "The Best I Could Do"
Location: Duct tape table, Transparent Steel Chamber
definitely a good time for a flashback
I’m just noticing the door right next to the hole Walky punched through to get into the lab, which everyone is stepping through. For when you’re so strong that punching through the wall is quicker than opening a door!
(i mean, i guess there’s probably security locks)
(for whatever value of “security locks” there is when a place is populated by people who can punch through walls)
ANYWAY, MEANINGFUL FLASHBACK TIME
Loading ...
The security locks are to stop people who aren’t SEMME, obviously.
Yeah! Like Britjas!
….. wait.
….. why couldn’t they get into the glass steel chamber, again?
They could have, but didn’t because there was a bomb in it.
A live bomb, mind.
Oh no, not–teal flashback panels? Those are never a good sign, probably?
(There’s a joke about Carol Danvers’ movie costume in there somewhere)
It’s a bad sign when Sal looks unnerved.
maybe SEMME security locks are just duct tape?
I think you are severely underrepresenting the holding power of duct tape.
It is, I suspect, psychosomatic
I’m not, just saying it’s not a complex mechanism
They can’t punch through walls, steal something, and then sneak back out.
Also, I know these are the inappropriate strips to say this but, hey green suit weatherman Jason.
Jason isn’t wearing green. I don’t get it?
His turtleneck is blending in with the wall behind him in the first panel, making it look like said turtleneck has been accidentally chromakeyed out when the background was put in–like when someone accidentally wears the same color as a greenscreen.
Thanks.
“Accidentally”
Never underestimate your local meteorologist on April Fool’s Day or Halloween.
These days, weathermen (and -women) stand in front of green screens when they give the weather report, and computers substitute the radar images, forecast graphics, etc for the color green before the feed is transmitted to the viewers. When they wear green clothes, they get those graphics pasted over that part of the attire. The effect can give the appearance of a disembodied head in front of a weather forecast if the weatherperson’s wearing all green.
And Panel 1 Jason’s sweater color matches the background.
That sounds…kind of funny, actually. I’ll have to look and see if I can find videos of this. 😛
Look up “World’s Worst Weatherman”. It’s actually a series of I think car commercials but it’s still pretty funny.
I’m pretty sure Mike hasn’t been retconned as having super strength yet. Does he just have Mortal Kombat levels of blood here or something?
Mike is plainly killed here. From time to time there is talk about Martian resurrection chambers, but I think the secret reason Mike is around later is that he spontaneously comes back to life on his own. Probably something about being an asshole to death.
http://www.itswalky.com/comic/okay-team/ The strip, with author commentary, where Mike was retconned to have super strength. A couple years before this strip or the Fans! crossover.
Sorry, that’s been bugging me for a while.
Oh hell.
We’re heading straight for the OTHER big moment, aren’t we.
Walky isn’t around right now, Joyce.
Quite the ride the reader’s going on.
