I wanna see Howard/tube sock
Also I like the idea that Head Alien II has been to so many universes that he knows who Howard is.

Who’s emotionally attached to that tube sock that that choice would matter, I wonder
Joe, of course. After all, we know that DoA Joe can’t stand a sock being made a liar, which suggests grave concern for its well-being.
Okay but Linda/Tony… Um.
Just. Um.
SO many layers of ‘Um.’ there.
It’s the most fucked-up pairing imaginable and I can totally imagine Linda abusing her power to coerce the strapping young man who looks just like his father did when he was his age yadda yadda yadda into an affair. I cannot imagine Tony actually consenting to it.
I dunno, Faz/Rose would be pretty fecked up.
Yes, but a) Rose was already in a surprise-incest relationship with Zaph in canon, meaning the horror is blunted by the fact that we’ve already seen the basic outline of the plot play out, and b) these events would have occurred in an alternate-timeline version of Shortpacked!, meaning they would have been largely comical despite the dark subject matter.
The unequal power dynamic inherent in the Linda/Tony case is genuinely way worse IMO than any power imbalance that happened in the main It’s Walky! canon, and that makes it far more horrifying to me.
I mean, with infinite universes out there, there’ve got to be some where Linda and Big Boss never met, making it less weird? If there are multiple universes where Joyce ended up killing Walky, surely there’s one where Linda isn’t an utter trash pile of a human being. 😛
I’m pretty sure that most of those Joyce-kills-Walky outcomes were the result of Head Alien II brainwashing her to produce video evidence to show to Dorothy.
Yeah, between the connection between Linda and Big Boss/Anthony Sr. and the bit where Tony and Sal were an item, I just… cannot see a version of that one that isn’t incredibly fucked up on every possible level. (Unless, as mentioned downthread, this is a Linda/Big Boss kid, but that seems reasonably likely to preclude a Walky existing in that universe and since all the other kids listed are second-gens… just, no.)
Honestly I feel like that kid’d be an effective choice for the psychological warfare option HA2’s thinking about, just because their very existence would force everyone to stop and go “what the fuck” for half an hour straight.
Unless HAII means Linda/Anthony McHenry Sr., and is phrasing it to inflict psychological damage to anyone listening to him…
Or maybe that universe’s Tony is just into cougars. Who knows.
Imagining Joe and gender swapped Joe high fiving over ‘insert random female/male’.
Look just give us Joe / Gender-Swapped Joe’s kid and get it over with.
Where do you think dumbiverse Joe came from?
….
… wow. Just… wow.
Hmm, not sure if I’m willing to replace my old theory about DOA Joe with this. I say Joe’s dad is Joe from the future, but I’m not sure if he’s literally his own father in a time loop or he simply assumed his father’s identity.
Pretty sure Red Dwarf has done that plotline already.
“I’m Joseph Rosenthal the first. My father’s Joseph Rosenthal the second. His father’s Joseph Rosenthal the third, and HIS father’s Joseph Rosenthal the fourth.”
“How did THAT happen?”
“An accident with a time machine and a contraceptive.”
please tell me we get to see what howard/tubesock looks like i need to know
White with red on the toe, heel, and cuff stripes.
Just a sidenote, Brock Doc has been mistagged as Doc Brock in the last two pages. Unless he’s been replaced with his alternate universe dad…
I never normally spot art errors, but does HA2’s claw hand become a normal hand in that last panel?
I’m not sure I want to know how a future kid was created from the Howard/tube sock pairing.
I was going to say something about Ruth and male Sal but I’m more token off guard by Linda & Tony. I mean was stalking Anthony when he was a teen not enough for her, did he haft to screw his son to? Or was it Tony hang ups with Sal that made him want to get with her mom?
I… genuinely can’t imagine that the relationship was consensual on Tony’s part. Which is all kinds of ick.
Don’t want to be that guy, but Head Alien II’s claw-hand became a regular hand between panel 2 and 4 😛
He has a fake hand/glove he uses for facepalming.
I’m just assuming that in all those universes, nothing killed Hooper’s lonely.
