"I can taste key lime pie."

[Tokiko Mima]

This is probably going to turn into something like V's gender isn't it? Every now and then we'll get another key lime pie reference out of the blue. :D

(cannot ... resist ... urge ...)

... Pie.

Wait a minute, have we actually seen Manpower as a zombie? Which comic is he in?

The very last one. #27

The very last one. #27

As well as #3, friend. Look at the timing of the post.

And this most recent comic seems to answer my question of whether Manpower constantly tastes pie. Maybe.

[sethdarkwater]

And now for my two cents... here it comes... Maybe he just thought "hmm... what would be funny for him to say... hmmmm oh I have it I taste key lime pie. Yes Im a genius."
Then agian why think simple, this a thread after all, bad me bad.

I like pie.

Lord Manpower the Temporary's final words are "I can taste key lime pie." The great warrior, the brave and valiant commander dies with pathedic last words.

No great, "I die free." "FREEDOM!" or "ET phone home."

He dies with an anti-climax. Insult to injury. an ignoble death.

Great warrior? Brave and valiant commander? No, he was a pretty boy. I can't really see this as ringing true.

I think it's mostly the brain injury, with the slim possibility of a Dead Like Me reference.

It's an anti-climax to his life. He dies pathedically because his life is meaningless in the greater scheme. It rings true.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Indeed. Incidently, it could also be an obscure referance but i think the referance might have come about accidentaly and some people just try way to hard. Incidently, i read a book where a guys last words where "The perfect taco". He said these as a result of something his spirit smelled just as it left the 'waiting area' of the afterlife.

Instead of seeing a light they taste pie, maybe.

Or it's just the fact that they poked the brain in a convenient spot as to make Manpower say he could taste key lime pie.

Whatever it was, Mnpower's gonna end up like Phineas Gage now.

From Lunch at the Gotham Cafe by Stephen King:

"'Boot!' Humbolt cried. I'm quite sure that's what his last word on planet Earth was. Boot."

Even less heroic than Key Lime Pie, though to be fair to Humbolt, one is not expected to be particularly heroic over lunch.

Gee, there seems to be a lot of thread necromancy around today.

I think he died because PLOT deemed it necessary. The last words are a riot though. Really classic.
