Look who’s back! It’s Scap’s old cold flame herself, Bone China. For you new readers out there, I advise you to jump back and read the BONE CHINA storyline and get caught up on their whole deal.
As for the rest of you, be here on Sunday. The trouble has only just begun!
HHHHHHHHHHohshit….. RUN!
Don’t run in horsesh_t!
Just curious and I’ve always wondered this. How old is China and Scap? They must at least be 7 years apart. She must really like him in order to fall for a guy who is as old as her dad. I bet she needs his help but how willing is he after what happened during their break up. Will he help her, will they fall in love again or have they always love each other? Cant wait for Sunday 😀
When the two first met Bone China was in her early to mid twenties, while Scap was just about forty. There’s a noticeable age difference between the two, although whether or not that was ever an issue with them was never brought up.
What INDEED will happen between them? Let’s all read along and find out!
Something’s not kosher. When they met each other at the ritual she was very unmoved (drugged???) now she’s shocked to see him.
Come on Sunday!! I’m ready to see what’s gonna happen.
True, but keep in mind Scapula was incognito at the time. She probably assumed he was just another rich twat from the Kabale meeting.
More excuses from me this Sunday! Be here!
Oh yeah…. DURP
YAY! But yes, there is something wrong… but still… YAY!
That’s the spirit of reading SCAPULA in a nutshell!
Yep, that’s what I thought. I figured BC was likely the only one on the inside her sister would be talking like that to. But with Scap’s habit of going off half-cocked, he might take this the wrong way. BC probably had these guys marked as a bunch of easy rich twerps she could shear for some cash with their cult and got herself in over her head and can’t get out. Rich gangs are as bad as the ones downtown – they just hire muscle to do their dirty work, but they are even more vicious since they don’t have to look their victims in the eye.
Keep it cool, Scap. It’s redemption time.
So many potential dangers…but which one will strike first? We shall see in good time, my dear readers, we shall see…
Or I may be a major jerk and have a cop-out ending where they all turn into chickens.
Getting an image in my head from and old Bugs Bunny cartoon when Bugs told Fudd that his gun was an elephant gun and he should be hunting elephant. The elephant’s reaction is what came to mind after reading that … “you do that, and I will give you such a PINCH!” (followed by the elephant thumping him on the head)
Damn you, Joe Besser.
FYI, Aidan, might want to post a clipped and uncompressed (or at least less compressed) version of the panel from last sunday where Delilah and BC were talking on the other side of the door. I magnified it on my laptop with its UHD screen and BC’s words were just illegible scribbles, couldn’t decipher them. >.<
It doesn’t bother me, really; as I said before, what they’re saying isn’t important, it was just to indicate that Scap was hearing voices coming from the room. Actually, if you could read the dialogue it makes it pretty obvious who was in the room, which would have given away the surprise.
I suppose I could have just filled the word balloons with little squiggles or whatever, but for some reason I felt inclined to write actual dialogue they would be saying. No, folks, you’re not missing any hidden jokes in those balloons, so don’t strain your eyes reading ’em. Trust me.
…Gonna be honest, part of me wanted it to be a Norwegian Blue parrot.
One that has been carrying messages back and forth between the sisters so they can communicate secretly, and thus was obviously really intelligent.
Oh well, time for awkwardness!
Seems like forever since we had some of that in this comic.
No no no…if you want messages carried, you don’t use parrots. You use swallows; the African variety can carry bigger messages, but the European ones do just fine if they grip it by the husk.
Norwegian Blues don’t do anything but pine for the God-damned fjords all day.
….well, there’s your awkwardness for ya!
I meant verbal messages, but clearly they might be useless at that if they’re too busy being whiny about missing fjords.
Probably be giving the message, then just start making sighing sounds and saying fjord over and over again.
And that’s assuming you the parrot *is* really just sleeping at the bottom of the cage …
“‘E’s not dead! ‘E’s resting!”
*BLAM!*
“Well NOW, e’s bloody dead! Empty the register!”
….. wait, I was RIGHT?!
Y’know, that is about the best ‘deer in the headlights’ stare I’ve seen that wasn’t on an actual deer. Just sayin’.
Wait until he pulls a gun on her!
