Things are getting dangerous, but the worst of it is yet to come! Tune in this Sunday for the beginning of one of the biggest battles yet: it’s the Sinister Monster Doom Legion versus Burning Man!

….errr…. did…did he just make all of that stuff up on the spot? scap! that’s like saying my cousins nephews dog ate the homework…which is your dog! and you don’t even have one!
Oh, c’mawn, we’ve come up with worse excuses back in the old school days. “I didn’t come to class because I got sick and my great-aunt died and there was a fire that needed to be put out and my great-aunt is really sick right now–oh, I mean, she died and we have to go to her funeral.”
i actually got away with my dog ate my homework with a photo of my dog eating some random papers, now all i need to do is hope my old teacher never reads this comment ever, she’d kill me for being 9weeks late with my report wasn’t what you would call a model student
I think they very well may have a good time as well!
It’s funny, the next storyline in my comic is about a kidnapping, too… but that’s like a month away.
Kidnapping stories are always great during sweeps week! As in you sweep someone far, far away.
I think mine is a bit of a wacky caper story, where hilarity ensues… Just like it does in real life!
Somehow that might be like trying to catch a greased pig
They wouldn’t be trying to catch Babirus. In fact, they’re probably trying to get rid of him.
Oboy, this should be fun! Scap and Co. tangling with the most bizarre collection of weirdos, nut bars, head cases, space cadets, freakazoids, loonies and psychos since the last street festival in San Francisco. Only problem is that they’ll fit right in.
“Getcher programs here. You can’t tell the players without a program.” 😀
We’ll just have to see who belongs to the bigger group of freaks when the time comes. But that whole notion just makes me think of one of my favorite movie lines, from Batman Returns.
Penguin: “You’re just jealous because I’m a genuine freak, and you have to wear a mask!”
AWwww, loved these. Good old colour times. And Penguin was kinda cool.
I like the barb about originality. 🙂 and it’s good seeing the old scapula mask again. OFFENDERS ASSEMBLE!
‘The Offenders’ really does sound like a super-hero (parody) team that could work…but I’ll let YOU handle that one, George!
Burning Man’s an event that you can make a lot of money at….. I know one pickpocket who never fails to attend. Of course, it’s a pretty big mess, and I think these guys are going to fit right in. And at least there’ll be music right?
We haven’t learned much about the villains’ taste in music (other than Scap’s obsession with Alice Cooper), but the only member likely to enjoy today’s wacky-wonky music is Hypnausea. The rest of the crew will probably be wearing earplugs!
Pickpockets at large? Sheesh…you might be safer with supervillains around! At least they’re honest about their thievery!
Three hindsight notes. One: I like that Tox is basically back to ‘eh, it’s lame but why not?’ mellowness. Two, I like that Scap has that devil statue over his shoulder in the last panel. Three, I am chuckling that NOBODY has yet commented about Scap seeming quite murderous.
1) Toxsick has his priorities in order. While we know that he is not above acts of vengeance, his main goal is making money. Paying the rent trumps petty rancor.
2) I think I may have overused the Curse of the Demon imagery this week, but it’s a damned good classic horror movie. Again, see it if you haven’t already (here’s a link to someone’s YouTube upload of the entire film).
3) Everyone! Scap seems quite murderous! BEWARE!
Having watched it, I found something funny….. I know so many of these know it alls, and they’re all over the world. The connection? Money.
Fear and money, I’d say. Karswell gets his followers to give him obscene amounts of money, in exchange for not summoning a scary-ass demon to rip them apart. Hey, works for me!
And hell, it’s BURNING MAN! Every last one of them (even Throgor) has an 80% chance of getting laid.
Up next: Roadtrip montage! Woo! Hiiiiiighway to hell! Nanana na naaaaa!
I don’t usually like giving away what happens next, but I will say that I’ll be skipping most of the travel and just getting to the action. Twelve-plus hours of these guys riding together would probably be too excruciating for anyone to bear (especially the readers)!
But….. but….. Roadtrip….. Hilarity is bound to ensue!
Well okay….. But you gotta include it as a bonus in a future book release.
I think a road trip with Babirus and Throgor would be the funniest movie in years. “I laughed! I cried! I got sick when the smell hit me! The rollercoaster event of the decade!”
So something will go wrong for the gang and Moony will survive.
Called it.
&%/$ing called it.
You get a gold sticker and a juice box. Don’t spill it on the carpet.
