About at this point is when Michael told me that he was leaving for bigger and better things. But I’m so glad that before he left, he was able to get me the rest of this chapter including this flashback. I don’t think Joey has ever looked better than in this short sequence. Although he was yet to get his fabulous hair…

Jacob: ...so really, I haven't been in India since '71. That's when Joey, Peter and I crushed your military, you know?
Brahmin: Grr.
Jacob: Ah, you're too young to remember. We came in on a stealth glider. The project's transports were crazy back then. We landed next to a monestary or something, with a pasture. Just full of cows. The dumb things just stared at us, not afraid at all. Then Joey starts going for them...

Joey, don’t kill the cows! You can’t do anything worse in India!
Peter did field work?
I thought he was a pacifist
Shame you lost the artist.
Peter was never called a pacifist, just a good man with a conscience. He did field work but specialized in the bioweapon side of operations.
It is a shame that Michael had to go, but let me tell you — our new artist, Kasey Quevedo, is producing outstanding stuff. You will not believe how good next chapter looks, I guarantee it.
I dunno
To my eyes the art here looks pretty good
It’s good to get back to your roots sometimes
Makes you appreciate how much you’ve really improved
BTW
THANK YOU for the way you killed Joey
Sonovabitch DESERVED it
COWS?
Really?
C’MON!
Cows? Ever wonder why toreadors only fight bulls?
Cows dont go for the red cape, but straight for the man.
In french being a “vache” mean dirty fighter.
Hunting moose, it’s the cow that will ambush and kill you,
or at least die trying to…
A cow will crush a Pit Bull in a second, (just sit on him)
while the mad fighting bull will be slashed and bled to death.
I think Joey’s attitude often tended towards “sacred cows make the best hamburger”. He must have had a wild time, what with the rest of the Project really thinking they were going to eliminate war forever… he’d love making hamburger of their ideals too!
(And so continues a long career of international incidents. And Accidents.)
I’ve been chased by cows, but Joey’s actions still seem a bit harsh
Man, once again I question why the Genocide Project even hired him! I mean, can you imagine how hard it must be to work with a guy like that?
“Joey, I’ve got our new assignment. I need you to-”
“COW!”
“Damn it, not again! Focus Joey!”
“Sorry can’t talk! Living thing, gotta kill it!”
you want “too young to remember” not “to young to remember”
Did I screw that up? Crap. I type the dialogue before there are speech balloons, so sometimes I lose track of the words over the art. I’ll fix it — thanks!
…and I really should work ‘Living thing, gotta kill it!’ into the dialogue at some point in the future. 🙂
Joey, it’s bad weapon discipline to throw your gun on the ground whenever you see cows.
I’m not going to count those cows out yet. Yeah, they die horribly… foregone conclusion… but this setting being what it is I expect some sort of twist.
Cows being used as incubation tanks for genetic abominations, or doing this aggro’ing something that DOES need to die. I shrug.
Something doesn’t look right (I don’t mean the genocide men) … monastery perhaps?
Yeah, I must have been asleep when writing the dialogue here. Thanks, Mark.
