Thing is, Knuckles Sam isn’t exactly the sort of adversary who can just be beaten into submission, Scap. Beating someone with your bare mitts, especially someone as large as her, can take quite a lot of effort if you’re planning on doing some major damage, even if she WERE harmless enough not to fight back. Again, think this through before you do it.
I’d have to say, it is quite a clever stroke for him to be able to deduce the connection between Caliban, Toxsick, and this group of women including Knuckles Sam. A few months ago, Scap would never have caught on.
Ok, who is this dude, and what has he done with the real Scap?
I like how people are picking up to Scap being a little more collected than before, even if the change is gradual. Did he put all the pieces together through cunning or paranoia?
As for tackling Knuckle Sam, let’s just see if that leans toward the “smart” or “stupid” side of the scale!
“Bitch-hog” is a reference to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre (uttered by the cook father/old brother character), and seemed like the kind of lowbrow insult that Throgor would mutter.
Sweet. Nice to see Scapula finally getting his act in gear. He’s still the “lovable loser” in his own right, but not only do I want to see him catch a win once in a while – I want to see him get revenge too!
But show mercy on the Little Miss, Scap. She’s just misguided, you can make her a minion and show her the right way to be a badass and piss off her father. 😀
I guess Scapula forgot how tough KSam is. She beat the Gee-Whiz out of him when she thought he was her father. I would scout out the opposition first and pick off the weakest one first. Throgor better use a force-mulitplier this time since his snake isn’t available for tag team action. A 20mm anti-tank gun would be a good start.
We shall see how they go about this soon enough. I suppose if Throgor wants his chance he’ll have to upgrade from the boa constrictor to something a bit more formidable…like a tyrannosaurus.
A T-Rex would be nice for you to draw and confuse the Gang of Gals enough to get in a few hits before Knuckles Sam makes a matching set of shoes and hangbag out of it.
Not like when we were kids, right George? Back in the day when if mom or dad wanted “the truth” about who broke what, they went for the Great Equalizer (usually a belt)!
My dad cut me a lot of slack. It was dear sweet mom that used a pinch of flesh and a twist to get to the straight skinny about things. It started out as a slight pinch and progressed from there until I confessed about the Lindburgh baby kidnapping. A belt was too crude a device and not useful in a crowd. I learned to make good choices from those experiences. Good choice = good consequence bad choice = spanish inquisition.
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! Sorry, had to say it.
Each new generation of parents seems less reluctant to use corporal punishment (aka whuppin’s), and it’s having both better and worse results. I wont go into a full debate here, but if anyone wants to share your “favorite” punishment stories, go right ahead. The rest of us are here to support you (or laugh like jerks)!
My Pa and I used to get into boxing matches over which of us was lying about things Woooo, picked up some nasty tricks from him when I was like, 8.
These days we just play pinfinger to see who’s right about things. Sucks though….. he’s missing the tips of two fingers so he’s got less to stab. Rassem frassem….
Lemme get this straight…you’re going to BEAT the truth out of Knuckle Sam?
Scap, I doubt that fancy dental work you have in your mouth comes cheap, you should probably think about this a bit more. Typically beating a person built like a tank doesn’t do much. 😛
“Beat the truth out of her” is really just looking for an excuse to go beat someone up. I don’t think Scap and Throgor are expecting to hear any life-shattering epiphanies out of their intended victim. They just want to hear some bones crunch!
Seems like everyone’s going after the heavy hitters. Tox is the most dangerous member of SMDL flat out, and Knuckles Sam is the most dangerous member of the Feminists-gone-bananas.
So, Scap, Throgor, Hypnausea, Tigadactyl, Babirus, and Bombastar vs. Knuckles Sam. You know what? Hypnausea’s got a good chance of pulling MVP here. The rest straight up can’t out-brutalize her unless Tigadactyl’s a better martial artist than previously established (I believe ‘He flies around and screeches a lot’ was mentioned?). Or Bab brings the chainsaw and doesn’t wimp out. But Hypnausea’s already beaten Sammie once with his chemical warfare when he was playing elder god.
Seems like all my faves are on the chopping block first. SIGH. On the upside, if Sammie gets put out or forced to back up a bit, we can see what the rest of the gals can field.
Um, other than Crybaby, I’m really having trouble seeing them as dangerous though. The Mad Doc(s) might go all mad doc, I guess, and Lil’ Miss Miserable has proven scrappy previously (although it was against Sam, ergo ineffectual). I dunno if Dr. J is ready for Scapula’s quite shifted psyche though. She hasn’t run across him post-Bone China.
Still hoping Toxsick makes it outta this in one piece.
“Ten Little Indians, filled with dread, they got punched by Sam, now they’re all dead”. I forget how that dumb poem goes, but that seems more applicable here.
You do bring up some very good points about the group, namely that some members who cannot fight are forced to use other methods of attack. Hypnausea can be dangerous when he’s properly motivated, although, when you look over his past shenanigans, a lot of his motivations might seem kinda’ stupid (he does it for art, fame, fun, self-indulgence, etc). We shall see how he handles the next threat.
I did get a laugh out of a comment you made, although this is really an inside joke. Little Miss Miserable’s real-life counterpart, my artist friend ASH (you saw our collaboration a while back), was also described as ‘Scrappy’ on more than one occassion. Whether or not that’s a realistic description of her is debatable, but it’s a cute nickname and seeing it here by coincidence makes me smile.
Next thing you know I’m going to hear about her snapping at a bigger dog and barking him away. She’s scrappy, all right!
Scape seems smarter/more competent than in earlier stories.
Interesting change.
But will he fare any better in this scheme? Let’s find out!

I believe that the correct word for “bitch-hog” is “sow”.
“Bitch-hog” is a reference to the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre (uttered by the cook father/old brother character), and seemed like the kind of lowbrow insult that Throgor would mutter.
Talking tough to cover for the fact that the last time he threw down with Sam, he nearly got his neck snapped.
Maybe he’ll fare better in Round 2…or Round 3….12…837….

Glad you enjoy his new-found sense of evil! Now let’s just see how readers react when he drives a busload of kids off a cliff…
I’m sure this will end well.
That all depends on whether or not there’s an impromptu ice cream parlor trip. Yaaaaay, icey cream!
Whew. Started to get worried that Scap was falling back into bad habits…glad to see he isn’t!
There’s one bad habit he’s definitely not making any progress on: smoking!
For shame, Scap!
Shit just got real….
If it was imaginary then I wouldn’t have so much trouble eating burritos.
…moving on…

That rhino he was riding once would be handy too.
A T-Rex would be nice for you to draw and confuse the Gang of Gals enough to get in a few hits before Knuckles Sam makes a matching set of shoes and hangbag out of it.
The rhinoceros was a great ally, until the zoo repossessed him.
Sounds good to me. It’s been awhile since I’ve had the chance to beat the ever-lovin’ truth outta someone. 😀

I suspect that the gang might be the ones to have something beat out of them!
Let’s just say SOMEONE’S not going to have a happy night…!
You need a wikipedia thread to keep up with all your characters past run ins.
Tell me about it. Maybe in the New Reader section I should have two lists set up, marked DEAD and YET TO BE DEAD.
Lemme get this straight…you’re going to BEAT the truth out of Knuckle Sam?

Oh, I’m sure bones are gonna crunch…just probably not the ones they were hoping for. ^^;
Looking forward to seeing this story pan out. I’m SO happy to see your work every day now! 🙂
Aww, thankyasomuch!
