On Today's Alley Oop - 24 May 2021

Just Friday, Queen Chrab described how the Chrabs had mysteriously been transported into the Wild West Universe. Apparently Doc wasn't paying attention because he asks her if she has any idea how they got there. More likely it was Joey forgetting what had just happened in her own story. Today's big joke is that if Doc helps the Chrabs return to their universe, will they release the prisoners to which the Queen says "of course" and then realizes that they mean alive. The joke fails to work because it is impossible to release someone that is dead since they can't move. Why does Doc even ask, though? He could simply send the Chrabs back and then release the prisoners. A little bit of logic in this strip would be very welcome.
