SOS: Save Our Skins Page #7

what else does Canada have?

Kill!

BENZ Killie!

Killed it...

No!

Killie...

Whoa! Too slow, big boy!

I could shoot

you down there, you know...

like a real pig.

Like a real, fat pig in the dirt!

You know what's funny?

I said, do you know

what's funny?!

No, what?

Well... It's just that I've been

pretty lonely since everybody left.

But having met you two, well,

I've come to realize

I much prefer being on my own.

So you're going to let me go?

Let you go?

So you can just

creep back in here

in the middle of the night

and eat me?!

I told you,

I'm not a zombie -

and neither was Killie!

Are you sure about that?

'Cause she looked like a zombie.

And you're definitely

dumb enough to be one.

Well, you're wrong!

Really wrong!

Am I now?

Well, pig boy, that's because

you do not know what I know...

That the whole

population of the world

has turned into zombies,

and they've all

marched off someplace

to prepare to take over...

Zombie Earth.

That's the stupidest theory!

Stupid?

Who you calling stupid?!

I'm sorry! I meant to say

that's an excellent theory!

Now, I've been

wonderin' somethin'...

Do you know what

I've been wonderin?

Where to go on holiday?

I've been wonderin'

what you'd look like...

without any skin.

Without any skin?

Well, it's just that I've skinned

a lot of animals in my time...

But a man?

I ain't never skinned a man before.

We could just talk.

We could talk about

anything you want!

Have you ever been to England?

It's really nice!

You'd like it there...

Although the food's

not that great.

I'm done talkin'.

Besides, you'd probably

be too busy screamin'!

Come on, big boy!

Come on!

No, please don't

take my skin off!

Please don't take my skin off!

It's alright, little piggy.

It's going to be okay!

There's going to be

a little bit of blood, is all.

Ben!

Are you all right?

What the hell was that?

Did he hurt you?

Yes, he hurt me...

And he tried to take off my skin!

We heard a gunshot.

What are you doing here?

We had to leave the house.

There was sh*t coming

out of the taps...

Now who is he,

and how did he shoot

a laser out of his hand?

This is going to sound weird,

but he's an alien.

Okay...

Killie!

My warrior princess!

She was trying to protect me!

You can shoot lasers

out of your hands -

I don't suppose you can

bring the dead back to life, can you?

- Yes.

- What?

I can bring the dead back to life.

This is my death hand,

and this is my healing hand.

You have to be kidding me!

What are you waiting for?

Oops, wrong hand.

That could have

been embarrassing.

U I q

Killie, can you hear me?

Ugh, my head hurts.

Oh, your...

I'm sorry, what?

Oh my God, Ben!

Thank God you're alright!

What happened?

Killie, you sound different.

Stop calling me "Killie".

My name is Susan.

Oh, I think I might have

healed her a bit too much...

- Oh, Killie - or Susan!

- Oh, please!

Oh, honey...

You really stink.

L-low can you smell

this bad already?

We just had, like, three baths.

I don't get this at all.

Oh, hi. I'm Susan.

Oh, hello.

I'm Andrew.

- Andrew?

- Yes.

- You didn't tell me that!

- I didn't have a chance.

You wanted to know

about the world ending.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Yeah, we need to talk...

Alright, you can start

by apologizing.

You called me a lazy,

selfish idiot.

Okay, well,

I'm sorry I called you that.

Alright, I'm sorry, too.

I guess I've been a bit useless.

And I'm also sorry I called you

a lanky, really annoying prick.

Okay... Hang on, did you

actually call me that?

And I'm sorry I tried to

kill you and... stuff.

Okay, you are definitely weird.

So we're friends again?

Yeah, we're friends.

What the hell are you doing?

But Ben, you're going to turn

into a zombie! He said so!

I out it on a branch -

while I was saving you from him!

Oh, right...

So there probably aren't any zombies.

- You dick!

- You're the dick.

Come on, boys,

let's go get something to eat.

- Good idea, Susan.

- Thanks, Andrew!

I've got plenty of cookies...

As soon as it is light,

we must journey to the control unit.

There I can beam us up to the ship.

Can you fly?

No, I cannot fly.

L-low many of those lasers

can you fire out of hand?

About 28 per year.

He's not that impressive, is he?

So you're going to

beam us onto the ship

before the asteroid hits?

Yes, there you will

be safe with the others.

What about our friends and family?

Are they on the ship?

Yes.

What about my mate Terry?

I'm not sure that

I've met Terry, but probably.

Cool. I've been trying to call him.

But what about Earth?

It's just going to be destroyed?

No, not completely,

although it will be uninhabitable

for several million years.

We will place you

in cryogenic sleep

along with the rest

of the human race,

and then place you back on Earth

once the radioactive fallout

from the asteroid has subsided.

This is too weird.

I just don't believe it.

An asteroid hitting Earth,

wiping everything off it!

You don't have to

just believe it - you can see it.

Oh God!

I'll have to get

a photo of that.

U I q

It's quite a long walk, I'm afraid.

I guess I should have

learned to drive.

Still, nice day for it.

We are almost there.

Wait for us, Susan!

You guys are so slow.

I think I preferred her

when she couldn't speak.

I think she's great.

I'm probably going to

ask her to marry me.

Do you want to be my best man?

Tell you what...

How about we beam up

onto this spaceship first?

Actually, I might ask Terry.

We must continue.

We are almost there.

You said that two hours ago!

Here it is.

This is actually

the new Teleporter 6-8.

It's got more memory, apparently,

and I think it's slightly faster.

That is one big-ass asteroid!

I'm glad I remembered to

put the rain cover on.

So, the bit where

we get beamed up...

Does it hurt?

'Cause the thing is I really

don't like getting hurt.

You will experience only

a small head pain...

Okay, cool.

Followed by a more intense pain

all along your spine.

Right...

Then all the atoms in your body

will be deconstructed,

transported into our laboratory,

and reassembled -

But you won't feel that... much.

Are we the only ones to

work out your video message?

- Isn't there anyone else?

- Not at all!

You weren't the only ones to

miss our original sucking-up.

Cool! So out of all

the other survivors,

we got here first?

- No. You took the longest.

- Oh.

I beamed all the others up yesterday.

Although, I am still waiting

on two others called

Jack and Dwayne.

Uh, yeah,

they won't be coming...

They kind of got killed

by the blue monster.

It was totally their fault.

Oh, well, there's no need

to worry, then.

That's all behind us now.

Andrew!

Susan, I really wish

you were still a psychopath...

Eyes...

Go for the eyes!

Susan!

Stephen, get the gun!

U I q

Slugs!

Nice shot.

Thanks.

He's still alive!

Can you hear me, Andrew?

My time is at an end.

Can't you just heal yourself?
