All Wrapped Up in this Bitch – Chapter 9, Act 3, Strip 77

Meanwhile, Snuka is receiving some medical attention. It might not be great medical attention, and at the end you have to wonder if it was even helpful, but Snuka received it. He’ll probably mark this day in red in his calendar, given how far outside of his normal sphere of experience this amount of care for his well-being is. Usually, he is just expected to walk it off, even if ‘it’ is a near-lethal or actually-lethal injury. And here, actual doctors are taking care of him, trying to help him…and all just because he was mummified alive and then later got his neck broken by a base..uh, cricket ball. Trivial injuries, by his standards.

But before the whole experience can get too disconcerting for poor Snuka, the universe re-establishes its long-standing hatred for him and makes sure he ends up in an even worse state of mummification than before. Which is probably extremely uncomfortable for Snuka, but still gives him the reassuring feeling that everything is still as it has always been, and the world has not been turned upside down. Not that he’s currently very sure where ‘up’ and ‘down’ actually got to.

More on Monday.
