SINISTER MONSTER DOOM LEGION pt.10
In regards to last week’s comic convention news, no, I will not be doing a storyline about Scapula going to a comic convention, because NEARLY EVERY DAMNED WEBCOMIC HAS DONE A STORY ABOUT THEIR CHARACTERS GOING TO A COMIC CONVENTION, and the jokes are always exactly the same: nerds who can’t get laid, fat guys in spandex costumes, nerds who can’t get laid, long lines that end up being for the bathroom (d’ohh! wonk wonk), nerds who can’t get laid, insane fanboys and obsessive compulsive cosplayers, and, finally, nerds who can’t get laid.
Now, a storyline about going to the Farmer’s Market…that would be something.
Oh, dear merciful heavens, it’s THE WORLD’S BIGGEST BAGPIPES! AHHHHHHHH!
Love how he encourages them to use the potty.
Something change with this one? The text is a little harder to read (or maybe I finally need to get some glasses)
Actually looking at it on my RSS reader it looks fine but on here it is a little blurred.
This week’s page was surprisingly funny. Oh and finally, a plot! Am I right to say this story has got a looooooooooooooooooong way to go?
@Hoomi The master plan revealed: blast out the world’s eardrums with gargantuan bagpipes blaring “Scotland the Brave”! Awesome-sauce!
Actually, I like bagpipes.
@Bearman Darkevilhelldeath-Man is really stuck with the hard task of “parenting” all of these little supervillain bastards. He knows that they’re going to fight in the car, complain about eating vegetables and having to go to the bathroom every five minutes. Am I right, moms and dads?
The text might be fuzzy due to a poor choice of color for the dialogue boxes (not enough contrast between the letters and color). The file also may have been saved at a lower quality, but I’m not entirely sure. I apologize if it’s hard to read (I screwed up, yes yes I did). Is anyone else having trouble reading the comic?
SCAPULA comics will be switching from JPGs to PNGs in a few weeks, so here’s hoping that helps you all from straining your little peepers.
@montecristo Quite a ways! Well into 2011…maybe the plot will make an appearance.
I’ll bet it’s the newly, redesigned Ford Pinto under there. Nothing says explosion by rear end collision like a Pinto!! o.O
As for the reading, I thought it was a tad blurry as well, but the blue is bright and my eyes are old! o.O
FINALLY! An evil mastermind who recognizes the need to schedule a bathroom break! As a wise man once said:
(even when engaged in an evil scheme)
when ya’ gotta’ go ya’ gotta’ go else when ya’ go to go you’ll find out you’ve already gone. Or something like that. 🙂
@jynksie Gotcha…let me get out my old steno pad here. “No…more…blue”.
If we’re looking for exploding vehicles, then there could be any number of cars underneath that tarp. Could be a prototype SUV that rolls over and explodes in advance (to save time).
@SpilledInky Don’t spend too long seeking the meaning of those wise words…you’ll end up peeing yourself!
Further proof that DEHD-Man may be evil, but not as evil as elementary school teachers who forbid potty breaks!
I spent several hours yesterday at the Tucson Celtic Festival. I didn’t think there were ever that many pipers in Arizona. It’s said that, long ago, the Irish gave bagpipes to the Scots as a joke, and the Scots never realized it was a joke.
That said, I have both Irish and Scottish in my heritage, and there’s just something about the pipes that call to me. They have, however, been used as a weapon of terror in the past.
Aiden, I love the lighting effects you have, especially the flashlight ones, they have such wonderful depth. Very cool. I will steal that. ;`)
Oh! and thank you so much again for the wonderful comic and the wonderfuller art with Throgor and Aedre! Love it Love it!
Nice, I like the sense of space in the workshop.
That, and the hilarious instructions….!
@Hoomi There’s a pretty twisted joke about “the octopus and the bagpipes”, but I’ll let you all find that one for yourselves (you could try searching for it on-line, but they don’t allow dirty stuff on the Internet).
Irish in Arizona? Wow…how do they take the sun?
@Jande the First Steal away! Lord knows I’ve taken a lot of techniques from other artists, directors and crazed street performers.
@Jande the Second Glad you enjoyed! Hope you enjoy the read and being able to take SCAPULA with you wherever you go.
See, fellow readers? She bought the book! What’s stopping YOU?
@speearr Thank you very much, sir! Perspective nitpickers will probably poopoo it, but then again some people poopoo everything.
Sunscreen… lots of sunscreen.
Cool pics, Aidan!
I like the “word balloons” in the first panel. Great effects on that. I also love the bathroom recommendations. This is a leader who’s got all the bases covered. 🙂
@Hoomi Well, Baz Luhrman says we’re all free to wear it.
@George Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get pics of all the people who bought books, namely one attractive punk girl who was obsessed with Godzilla (she has yet to contact this comic…sniffle).
It’s interesting that everyone gets a huge kick out of the toilet reference. I might end up having to do another “Crappy Crime Caper” story, just to appease all of you pottymouths!
What can it be! I am scared at what it could be under the tarp. We are doomed as doomed can be, I must say!
@Roland I just love it when the audience plays along (“Don’t go in there!”). Roland’s getting into the spirit, everyone! Join in the fun!
Love the “Ape Crowd”….and am I the only one who is strangely mezzzzmerized by the evil sock puppet…?
HAIL Sock Puppet of EVIL!!!!
ahem. I feel strange.
@Squid Row Mama Not at all, Brig! The puppet is indeed mesmerizing…why else would anyone listen to him?
