(Financial) Satisfaction Brought it Back – Chapter 9, Act 2, Strip 11

Somehow, Snuka is back.

Well, actually it’s not ‘somehow’ – the reason for Snuka’s permadeath lasting only four days (real world) resp. some minutes (in-universe) is no secret. And no surprise. Which means it’s also not an ass-pull, actually! The fact that Snuka is highly lucre-motivated has been long established and often reinforced – and brought to higher and higher levels. Who could say it’s unrealistic that a healthy bundle of greenbacks (Canapanese yenllar) could lure his not-that-long departed soul back into the abandoned body? Especially if the body is largely undamaged and healthy, if you ignore a certain area. So, yeah…this resurrection is actually almost too plausible and realistic to be in a B-movie plot at all.

And we all know that money can’t buy happiness. Or at least we’ve all heard it said often enough. Therefore, Snuka getting a bunch of money out of all of this does not go against the nothing-nice-can-happen-to-Snuka rule.

Aside from his Snuka’s survival/revival, main take-aways today are the involvement of the midget COL in Snuka’s kidnapping – he plaid a major role, together with Snuka’s rarely-attested gullibility. That latter thing is more like real B-movie writing!

Snuka finds no real explanation as to why he has been kidnapped, but the audience receives an unsubtle hint. Which might be followed up or forgotten, you never know with B-movie scripts.

More on Thursday.

  1. Today I found a neighbor kid napping in my garden. So I reported him to police. For kidnapping. April Fools!
