    Maybe he is clinging tenaciously to death now.

      Great lineโ€”I’m stealing it.

    Mouse to mouse resuscitation?

      Perhaps Sergio could administer CPR.

        Artie’s probably best qualified: Segio is too large, and the drone probably can’t breathe.

        If he wants his lungs to pop like overinflated balloons, he sure could.

      This should go without saying, but Echo Bravo plus Alfa Alfa equals Echo Alfa, the initials of Edward Allen Harris, who delivered the most famous soliloquy in the history of screenplays in the 1989 film _The Abyss_. Thus do the authors suggest that the two operators of the drone have merged into a single consciousness. It is a pleasure to follow a comic that rewards close reading.

        the most famous soliloquy in the history of screenplays in the 1989 film “The Abyss”? How many soliloquys in the history of screenplays in the the 1989 film “The Abyss” are there?

    Yep. Valiant lost his hat!

      Well since he went in feet first and the top of his head is still visible in the first frame, it’s not in the snake. His hat must have fallen off. Quick check the floor before Sergio steps on it!

      Well, I guess we know that was a bad plan. Good thing he’s got rescuers.

      You know it’s a bad plan if you lose your chapeau!

    Panel 2 would be adorable if it weren’t so sad

    But what about the snake?

      The snake is wrapping itself around Sergio’s arm in an attempt to get away and re-eat its dinner, maybe add a few courses while they’re standing around wailing.

      They should return Valiant’s “corpus delectamenti” to the snake, with their apologies…

    I know there’s references to Artie being a substitute teacher to young Sergio, but I still suspect that this Artie has known Sergio for a small matter of hours himself. And would be similarly committed.

      I don’t think it’s the commitment he’s objecting to, exactly.

    “Dang it Artie, don’t you know not to interrupt a perfectly good dramatic scene with logic?”

    “In my experience, that’s the best time to be logical.”

      There’s a certain game cutscene (no, not FF7 ๐Ÿ˜› ) where a character gets stabbed in the middle of a throne room, is told the medics are coming, and then… has a two-minute dramatic dialogue/reconciliation with their estranged father as they bleed out.
      Never saw any damn medics.

        For the most drawn out death scenes, I still recommend Pushkin. I seem to recall the main one in Boris Godunov lasted for most, if not all, the scene.

          What about the novel Mambo Kings Sing Songs of Love. By the end, I was “Just die already!”

            Wasn’t that a scene in “Absolutely Fabulous?”

          I would offer 3 1/2 acts of La Boheme as one long, drawn-out death scene.

    At this point I ship both agents with Valiant as a polycule.

    “That’s it, grip the head gently but firmly…” The fact that Artie is telling this to Sergio is pretty much making a bit of my brain giggle and order another round of Tequila.
