HOUSE OF SCAPULA pt.6
This page is dedicated to my cartoonist associate, John Hazard, and his excellent webcomic Frankenstein Superstar.
Halloween is upon us, so to everyone out there, I say: have a happy, safe, fun-filled night! Also don’t forget that next Friday (November 2nd) marks the 4th Year Anniversary of the SCAPULA webcomic, and next weekend is Long Beach Comic Con, so there’s plenty of reasons to celebrate!
…and for those of you who can’t get enough Knuckle Sam-goodness, you’ll be happy to know that she’ll be playing a major part in our next storyline. Tune in next Sunday for the beginning of a new, action-packed adventure with a few surprise appearances by characters you know and love (or maybe don’t remember, but that’s fine as well).
Next Week:
THE JEMINI KILLER
Now that’s what I call a conclusion! Random and funny!
I actually expected the Werewolf to return, since a whole page has been dedicated to him. Remembers me to the ‘false preparation’ technique I’m currently reading about being used by Aeschylus in his tragedies.
Maybe I was studying the works of Aeschilicious and the nuances of complex story structure…or maybe I just wanted to stick in a page with a Wolf Man parody. Take your pick!
Glad you enjoyed the random ending, and here’s hoping you’ll join us for our next tale of terror!
There were too many big words in that response
Oog. Urgh. Raar.
Nonono….. Next week?: The whorehouse of Scapula! Muah-hahahah!
Better than the Outhouse of Scapula, that’s for sure…
I tell ya, there’s nothing worse than a backseat surgeon…
…except for a backseat HMO agent, bugging the doctor to quit using the overly-expensive equipment!
You have to wonder how many nations were on alert as she laid there, t*ts up?!? [blinks] [grin]
I’m surprised they didn’t hide more Cold War missile silos in gigantic bras. No one would think of tearing those down!
Well, now she knows what most guys and other lesbians have to go through trying to get a decent date. It’s a good lesson to get outta the way early!
And I agree with Scap….. when you can’t sleep, porn. Works for me anyways!
Happy Hallowe’en folks, enjoy the parties. As for YOU, Mr. Casserly, keep up the excellent work. I rather enjoyed the black and white look, incidentally. I do hope it’s slated to return someday!
Boy, I hear that…(again, the worlds of horror and romance always seem to meet up).
Anywho, thank you kindly, Lady Jenn, and enjoy your Halloween as well. And, if it’s humanly possible, STAY OUT OF TROUBLE, YOUNG LADY!.
You’ve got to laugh otherwise you’d cry. The idea of Dr Scapulastein rebuilding the annoying-screechy-skinny-hag-of-doom and the Knuckles-monster not appreciating that MUST be where Scap began to realize he was dreaming. After all, ol’ Samantha’s no slouch in that department herself (except for the skinny part).
The Jemini Killer – hmm, two possible meanings there, and I’m happy to wait and find out.
Love the black and white artwork in this chapter. Makes me want to head down to the French Cinematographique downtown for a classic. Just glad they serve salted popcorn nowadays instead of frog’s legs…
Snack away on some tasty Crunchy Frogs, from the Whizzo Chocolate line (there’s a Monty Python reference that no one will remember…no one but a geek like me!).
Glad to hear that you and the other readers enjoyed the black-and-white (which you will probably see again next year…). Grayscale artwork is a lot of fun, and I loved referencing all the classic monster movies of yore.
And yes, do tune in for the next story! Ponder away on what the title means, or if it’s a typo and I meant to write “Jemini Spiller”.
Excellent finish. It’s great because it’s true… because everyone knows that porn isn’t scary… unless they have a character whose butt talks… uh… I’ve said too much… TMI! Great finish tho… everybody loves a happy ending!
Talking butt? Egad, do you mean…Ace Ventura porn?!
Hmm…would that qualify as a “happy ending”? Wocka wocka!
This homage felt like you hooked a couple of jumper cables to an old Universal monster film and zapped it back to life, if only for a few moments. Well done, Aidan, enjoyed every panel of it!
Thank you kindly, Mark, and here’s hoping we can all go re-enjoy those Universal classics again and again!…without thinking of the travesty that I made of them.
Well, Van Helsing ruined them first, but appearing in SCAPULA is like the kiss of death!
not even in dreams, scap should steal some luck first before he starts stealing other stuff
If only luck could be bought in a store…but you CAN buy Lucky Charms.
Deus Ex Machina! Or Morpheus EX… or something… Horror films give me nightmares, too.
I never understood what a literal deux ex machina was supposed to be, or look like. What is the exact logic? Is it a literal thing? Does an actual physical object save the day? Or is it just a magical reshaping of the world and circumstances? Is it like the Disney ‘Winnie the Pooh’ cartoon where Pooh gets down from the tree by having the narrator tilt the universe-encompassing book? Could somebody explain this to me?!
Oh, and Happy Halloween, Jande!
I think of it as the ‘machinations of the gods’ (literally god outside the machine, iirc.) That being, the creator can do what ever they bl**dy-well please to bring a story to an end. ;`)
Dada, you’re sick… but I like you. I like your waking up from dreams ending. It was all just a dream… whew. I love panel six with the lackluster “it’s alive, it’s alive”… like big whoopdey doo.
On that note. Happy Halloween, sicko.
This is probably the only time I’m ever going to use the “it was all just a dream” ending (although, to be fair, I made it clear from the beginning that is WAS all just a dream). I can only imagine how annoyed people would have been if some of the other stories had ended that way.
Happy Halloween, Brig!
It’s a good thing he had some spare parts sitting around…hmm… alright… it’s not a good thing.
If only he kept the good stuff lying about! Then again, those spare boobs had to come from some special place…
Well, waiting for the next time when scapula would dream of porn.
Trust me, you REALLY don’t want to see that.
That was stupendous, A. You certainly know how to wag a tail…I mean, weave a tail. That’s a face only a mutha could love. Love the boob surgery too. Tasteful, yet appropriately erotic. 🙂
Ha! Thanks, George. She turned out pretty gross (she might even be able to give Voodoo Lady a run for her money!), but in the end that can be lovable too, right?
…well, don’t look at me!
I love the understated, “It’s alive, it’s alive.”
BTW, womens’ breasts are never the same size. It’s true! The left breast tends to be a bit larger than the right. Of course, I read about this little titbit somewhere, but my rather limited, personal study of the issue does tend to confirm it!
At this point “It’s alive” has been parodied so many times that I think everyone reacts to it the same way!
I’ve only been out with one woman whose breasts were (noticeably) different sizes, due to an estrogen imbalance. I think us menfolk are too obsessed with BOOBS to appreciate subtle nuances like differing size ratios.
Imagine my surprise when I saw the KnuckleSam creature running around loose at Frankenstein Superstar webcomic.
John is a really awesome guy, and it’s always great to discover new artists on the big bad internet who geek out over the same crap as me!
