I'm quite a fan of Army of Darkness (Evil Dead 3), as is Jazon19. In fact we met online due to a bad piece of fanart I drew. We're still friends!
I can't remember why the Mayor of Townsville and Ms. Sara Bellum show up. All it does is reveal that I used to watch The Powerpuff Girls. It seemed like a good idea at the time?
The final panel, with all the doctors hurtling towards a cliff/Cliff Richard sign, is a reference to the ending of the Young Ones TV show. Also Waite was shown to be spending most of his time watching Young Ones DVDs so I thought it was a nice callback.
And yes, you are supposed to believe that the mechs turned a city into a desert wasteland within five hours!
