Meet Moonie! She’s happy, chatty, and completely out of it…but will Scapula really warm up to that kind of person? Only one way to find out if he does indeed ‘still got it’!
Meet Moonie! She’s happy, chatty, and completely out of it…but will Scapula really warm up to that kind of person? Only one way to find out if he does indeed ‘still got it’!
As soon as I saw the ‘Nyee’ show up in her laugh last time, all I could think was: my God, it’s my half-sister Flo. Heavy built, brainless, motormouth, boundless optimism and a stoner. God, please tell me she gets shipped off to Cali eventually and it’ll be just like her.
I like Scap’s constant ‘what the hell?’ expression, it’s fantastic hun. And exactly the expression I’ve seen on many people’s faces around these kind of airheads. Well, with bigger eyes….. Also liked the strobing light.
She’s definitely a California girl, not just because she’s sort of an amalgamation of several women I’ve known here, but because this whole series takes place in San Francisco which is never too far away from the hippie communities. You don’t need to look too hard to find them (start with Haight street).
But hey, here’s hoping we can grow to like her all the same (you can hate her, too, which is an option you have for any character around here). She does look good under a strobe light!
Is it any surprise that, as she reminds me of a relative, I find her repulsive? I don’t think that’s a surprise. Well, let’s see where the space cadet ends up……
Some of the SCAPULA characters remind me of my own relatives, only less mean-spirited!
Still got it, eh? Well, wait to see if she even remembers you in the morning or if her attitude hasn’t done a complete 180 when you call her after the weed wears off…
Ah, your single-colour panel scheme pays off again after the lovey-dovey fest in the last arc. You gotta admit, a nightclub is the other place it would work. Your art is getting better all the time, Aidan.
Somehow, I doubt Edgar’s optimism is going to last much longer once he discovers Moonie is Hypnausea’s half-sister…hence the “royal turnip” outlook.
The weed wearing off isn’t the problem as much as some of the stronger stuff. Then again, I’m guessing a girl like her was raised with ecstasy in her lunchbox, so maybe it’s like candy to her at this point!
Glad you enjoyed the artwork, and as for Moonie being Hypnausea’s sister that would be a pretty hilarious twist (although judging by her speech she’d probably be related to Dadaman)!
Related to Dadaman?! Well, I know she could be described as having a few screws loose…heh.
Love Scapula’s expressions in panels three and five. It’s an interesting attempt at a dance from him too. Is he trying to “walk like an Egyptian”? If so, good for you, Edgar, you can bring it back! Reading this and taking in Moonie’s witless gibbering, I almost wonder if she’s some previously unmet relation of Mona and Bombastar who takes after Aunt September. Only with lentils instead of wheat germ.
Ohhhh no! Not another Naware! Well…she’s not. Breathe safely, folks, we’ve seen the last of their kind for the time being. Now we have to deal with this new type of crazy person!
It’s no surprise that Scapula is a terrible dancer, but hey, maybe that old Bangles cover can make something out of him.
that grin just sums it up PERFECTLY!
All it needs is a: “Guh HYUCK, huh huh huh HYUCK!”
How did she find the time to actually swig a drink?
Super-fast, like, quicker than the eye can see. She’s a pro!
…or maybe she never got around to drinking it. This woman’s attention span is shorter than a dachshund’s leg.
I almost didn’t recognize Scap in the last panel – I don’t recall ever seeing him with a genuine smile on his face before; it’s usually just a grimace, scowl, frown, or scream.
I think he’s smiled a couple of times in the past (and not an “evil smile”), the most notorious instance was during his relationship last year. See the goofy grin, if you dare!
Scapula could most likely befit from someone like that in his life.
He could certainly do better with more smiles around…as in, smiles from people who aren’t about to stab him!
What? What’s he still got? 🙂
Y’know, “it”…
No, not the hairy Addams Family cousin, the Mad Monster Party version of King Kong, or the Tim Curry clown in that terrible made-for-TV movie. Just…”it”.
Oh, the Clara Bow “it.”
And no, no he doesn’t. 🙂
Perhaps Bela Lugosi knows? He certainly got close enough to Clara!
He’s definitely still got somethin….. Dunno what, but he’s still got it.
He’s got the most ridiculous smile in the entire club, that’s what!
Something tells me if he wants any information out of her, Scap will need to have Hypnausea do the talking. He’s probably fluent in “Nyeeee!”
Oh, geez, that would be a riot. I can imagine that a table conference between the three of them would result in a lot of giggling while Scapula tries to decide whether to shoot them both or run them over with a truck!
I think I’ve met her …
In a brightly colored nightmare, somewhere?
I just noticed that she’s barefoot. Not a terribly good idea in most of the clubs I used to go to…
I have a lot of friends who are able to go barefoot in public, and it always puts me on edge. Then again, I wear steel-toe boots nearly all the time, so obviously I believe in foot protection (just tell those barefoot folks not to walk too close to me!).
Awesome coloring, A! I could smell the sweat, smoke, and alcohol thru my monitor. I like Moonie. She reminds me of the sort of gal I used to take advantage of in the clubs (or rather, they’d take advantage of me). I just seem to have always fallen hard for the weirdo thick chicks.
Hey, who doesn’t fall for the lovely, lovely weirdo thick chicks? I know I do!
Nyeeeee!! What a goofball. It’d take a bucket of brain bleach to remove that non-stop blather from my consciousness. Poor delusional Scap, thinking he’s scored with that pudgy motormouth. Run Scap, run!
Maybe it’s not as bad as it seems; there’s always that old zen trick for tuning out noise (LOTS of noise)!
Love the look on Scap’s face throughout…. still getting used to his real face though…. Love the colors… well done on the techno clubbie thing… Moonie…hhheee heeeee.
The “real face” is just putty smeared over his familiar skull encasing, so just remind yourself it’s all fake!
