Looks like the anger level is rising in Wally.

Man! I love Wally’s expression in panel 3!

Excuse me, mister referee sir, but Home Depot called and they want their garden gnome back.

Wally has turned into a mule..

@TSOJ: snerk

“Last man standing?” Thought they were lizards and a cat…

It’s hard to interpret Wally’s stare in panel 3. It could either be resigned anger as in “do your worst, I don’t care” or defiant anger as in “I’ve decided to go out fighting anyway.”

Overall, it feels to me more like a stubbornly suicidal defiance, like Wally is going to follow through an let Phil kill him, but believes that by so doing, he’ll show up the lizard society’s corruption. Or something.

Phil’s not going to be satisfied with this fight if Wally doesn’t fight back. There’s no superiority if there’s no challenge.

Forget dying a martyr, he should just take out all his anger and frustration out on Phil. Make them rethink reptile superiority.

I say he goes for the Ref first.

Wally’s expression is kinda hard to read for what he intends to do. Whichever, it looks like raw hatred.If anyone has a right to feel hatred, Wally does.This is going to end in a very dramatic way. I expect all the people who we think may all show up, might all arrive about the same time for a really big "shoe"*

Some young folks might not have ever heard Ed Sullivan show. May be I’m showing how old I’ve gotten.

Lizards got nipples?

Oh, man… The look on Wally’s face. He may just put up a fight, after all. Or, at the very least, dodge some of Phil’s blows to make him look slow and stupid in front of everyone.…Sarah is in the audience, right? Gee… I wonder who she’s rooting for…

To my mind, the expression on Wally’s face is “truculent” as in “I have to be standing here and I hate you all, but don’t expect me to fight”. The referee seems to think so too, as in his “Oh – for…” in the last panel.

I predict….Wally will win!!! At least I hope so……..

They are running out of water, too? This is really a non-viable community. __________^_^

“Last man standing.” So if Wally sits down, the lizard has won and the game’s over?

I not only remember Ed Sullivan, I remember the first time Elvis and the Beatles were on his show. My father was disgusted at “what you young people like these days”!

I’m rooting for you, Wally!

I’m interested to see how this’ll turn out.As long as it’s not just Aaron Marx jumping out of a portal at the last second to punch Phil in the dick.

“My name is Inego Montoya. You killed my girlfriend. Prepare to die.”

I was born on the tail end of the baby boom generation so I don’t remember watching Ed Sullivan, but I’ve heard enough references to the show that I have some idea of what it was about.

It seems likely the fight will be interrupted by the pre-show entertainment of a lizard being pulled into the alimentary canal of a paw-less Raccoon.Perhaps Jim has grown them back?We really haven’t seen everything the healing abilities of an anthro-mutant can do.

Is the ref wearing a wristwatch?

Louie the Lynx easily out weighed Phil, Wally has this in the bag

Its interesting that these mutated-into-animal reptiles have mammary glands, …for…..breast feeding? Has Aaron ever touched a biology book on reptiles before?
