All well that ends well? or something like that?

But you did shoot before checking the setting Tesfay, didn’t you?
If I’m grappling with someone for a zap gun, I’m not going to take time out to check what setting they had it on. You go ahead. 🙂
There we go. Symbiont is NOT DEAD.
But that was a nice way of showing it!
I think Tesfay was speaking to himself in the first panel. Also, the weapon fired in this comic is not the same weapon they were hit by two comics ago. We have no solid information on Symbiont’s condition yet, unfortunately.
Tesfay is wearing the symbiont again. Or, to put it a better way, the symbiont is back in stealth mode. We don’t know if he’s injured, of course.
Is the a hint of Symbiont not being dead ? I can’t see it.
It’s a good sign that the symbiont has backed up into “shirt” mode. You would think a dead symbiont would default to “green glob” mode.
I don’t know about “not killing anyone today”, some of the falls could have broken necks or the anatomical equivalent.
Also if that smoke in the last panel is rising from Blue Meanie’s body, then it might not have been “stun” actually.
Looks like there is a Deep Fat Fry setting…..
They listed the settings once, long time ago. Possibly when the Russian was playing with it.
That just indicates a smell. Incontinence is a common outcome of a strong stun attack.
Like Lead Belly said. “I meant to shoot him your honor. I didn’t mean to kill him”.
I shot the Meanie.
But I did not shoot the symbiont.
LOL!
Let’s just go with “a stunning victory.”
Oh, Blue Meanie. The boot has been such a reliable option for you. Too bad for you that you couldn’t get your foot up in panel three.
Let’s just say, When the shooting stops, it’s time to look around and figure out an exit strategy.
Remember the words of Dr. Manhattan: “‘In the end?’ Nothing really ends, Adrian.”
I like it when space opera sci-fi portrays humans as a physically capable species. So many take the road of humans = weaker than most aliens.
Edgar Rice Burroughs made John Carter superbarsoomian in his Mars series.
Well, we are pretty weak physically. But that weakness turned out to be our greatest strength because it caused us to devise increasingly clever ways to compensate.
Who says it’s ended? And ended well?
Now that Symbiont has backed into “shirt” mode (Sleeping? Healing?), Tesfay needs to get himself to the nearest Puceberry Muffin Bar and start eating quickly, if not gorging. The Symbiont doesn’t seem to need to consume calories itself, which means Tesfay needs to “eat for two,” as the case may be.
I’m surprised I’m the only person who seems to have considered the idea that the symbiont is faking just to see what tesfay would do. It’s probably not the case but it would totally fit with how the symbiont acts.
When I read this episode, there were only a few comments and yours wasn’t around. I too wondered if the Symbiont was faking, especially considering the way his tongue was hanging out when hit. Perhaps he judged Tesfay to have matured enough (overcome his previous hesitancy) and withdraw his help. It would prove to Tesfay that he can really do it alone.
