At first I thought it was a typo in panel 1 (“give him ride”), but then reading the rest I realized it was just Tig’s speech pattern – kinda Eastern European broken-English style speech. Thinking about it, I realized we’ve just never heard him say much, before, and I don’t think we’ve heard a whole lot about his background.
And boy did they trash Roy’s place. They have no idea what kind of ass-kicking debt they are racking up, do they?
His dialogue comes out of nowhere, I agree. In the earliest version I did of this story Tigadactyl was actually completely silent, and Hypnausea was the one who discovered Toxsick’s disappearance.
I swapped out Hypna’ because I wanted to try giving Tiga’ a little “screen time”; he’s been the single hardest character in the series for me to develop a personality for, and while today’s strip may not exactly be a lot to go on, at least it’s a start.
…and no, there wont be any racist Asian stereotype potshots. I have too many Asian friends who would kill me (you think that’s a joke, right?).
Planet Earth has only two years left. By that time, the acid that just made a hole on Toxsick’s apartment will have reach the center of the Earth, causing an explosive chemical chain reaction that will make our planet explode like the Death Star!
I am intrigued by that vat of sludge. It might prove useful in destroying electrical waste by dissolving it. Never mind, just my little grey brain cells wandering off on some rabbit trail. I think you are starting to get the hang of your new tools because the little details are starting to appear again in your drawings.
I may have gone a little too slick and clean early on, so here’s some texture for you all to enjoy: flaky walls, scummy floors, and acidic pools for your pleasure!
Y’know, it’s one thing to commit an assault. It’s another to wreck the house. Sheesh! Trash his gear fine, but easy on the property damage folks. People can get over injuries but they tend to stay pissed about broken possessions. And hell he didn’t have much to begin with. That’s just plain pointless.
I also like how Kenpachiro wears the Tigadactyl suit more like a helmet than the previous appearance.
By now it’s been made clear that Tigadactyl is a man in a suit; in his first appearance this wasn’t established (even I hadn’t planned that out yet; for all intents and purposes, he was an actual pterosaur in shorts).
As for Toxsick’s place getting trashed, well, damn…it was pretty much a dump to begin with. Whether there’s garbage all over the floor or all over the furniture, a room full of garbage is still a room full of garbage. If anything they might have made their point clearer if they cleaned up the place!
For what it’s worth, I do applaud him having the steel security door in the last strip. Incidentally his place is still nicer than my old loft in Soho was when I moved in…..
By the way, would it be wrong of me to point out this is what happens when feminism goes wrong? And I’m a woman who deals with most of her problems violently. I don’t know how you make it seem like a bad idea.
I think this is what happens when ANY “-ism” goes wrong. There comes a time when you have to take a break from mob mentality and wonder just what beating up someone is accomplishing in the long run.
…other than just enjoying the fun of beating someone up (Jenn, I know YOU do enjoy that, but only on your own terms!).
True. And to be fair most of it these days is legitimate above-board stuff (pro bodyguard work and mutually agreed beat-downs).
I don’t get one thing….. are they expecting them to just sit back whistling and get picked off one by one or what? Strategize people! Swarming only works so long. Humanity knows how to fight swarms nowadays.
He’s sort of right
Hey, as long as he’s not completely wrong!

First they broke Toxsick, then his Toxsick gear? What’s next? his legacy?
As long as they don’t break open his hidden drawer full of candy I think he’ll be fine.
His “legacy” for now consists of a few crimes covered by the news and his bratty children!

Or, if gravity takes a lunch break, it will come out the other side of the Earth. Boy, will THAT surprise someone!
I. AM. JOB.
Get a Job, sha-na-NA-na, sha-na-NA-na-NA!

My brain goes on a rabbit trail, and winds up on wonderland every waking, and sleeping, moment of my life! 🙂
At least Scap is thinking analytically. He may not be as stoopid as I previously thought. Now, if only he can locate Tox without falling into a trap….
Is Scapula getting smarter? Let’s find out as the story progresses.
What do YOU think? Yeah, YOU! The guy in the third row!
I think even a broken clock is right twice a day, and Scap’s had his ass handed to him by enough gangs to recognize the signs. 😉

Good to see tigger up there getting some screen time. If he ever mutates into a real dinosaur, good for him
