Looks like Scap’s plans for revenge have burned up (har har). Will the villains escape the wrath of the hippie horde? Find out this Sunday…and see which one of them DOESN’T escape!

I’m wondering where Hyp went in all this. He probably feels right at home between the hyppies. (Get it? Hyp-pies? It’s a lame pun!)
Hyppies would be hippies who have decided to trade in love beads and unwashed hair for fancy tailored suits with nauseating tie dye patterns and silky smooth supermodel hair…and a complete disregard for decency and morals (or did they do that already?).
You mean art snobs?
I find most art snobs to be far too timid (despite their big talk) to do a lot of the outrageous acts that actual artists perform. Art snobs are mostly all talk, while artists (even bad ones) are usually doing something.
Okay, that’s fair. Although the complete disregard for decency and morals still stands!
Hypnausea at Burning Man is like Man-Thing in the Florida Everglades. It’s his natural environment. Possibly the very source of his powers. I have a feeling he’ll be juuuuust fine.
Whatever knows fear burns at the Man-Thing’s touch.
Whatever doesn’t get a shot of penicillin or doesn’t use protection burns at Hypnausea’s touch.
How foreboding!
Man, don’t tell me Scap’s gonna be deprived of exacting his inexact vengeance? I hate to have my rage deprived.
Maybe they’ll pull a fast one and blow up the entire desert? Maybe a meteor will fall out of the sky, or a giant Monty Python foot, and squash them all? Maybe Galactus will show up and threaten to devour Burning Man?!
We’ll find out on Sunday…although I wouldn’t get my hopes up on Galactus (the only thing more terrifying than the Devourer of Worlds are Marvel’s lawyers)!
The Monty Phyton foot referance made me chuckle 🙂
Pppplrt!
“The best laid plans of gits and goons…” Well, back to the drawing board.
‘The best laid plans of gits and goons
gang-aft-agley
and leave us not but grief and pain
for promised joy…and bloody vengeance.”
-probably not Robert Burns…maybe his cousin, Chuck
Emmm… Is it just me or did Throgor just indirectly say get to the pile of burning remains of a once airborn chopper and the ‘burning man’ with a headwound inside. Just how is the chopper gonna help them now? Distract the hippies with REAL burning?
Also the expressions and pure terror in this comic is wonderful 🙂
Maybe they can fix it? You never know; Toxsick might be good with tools, and Scapula certainly has a knack for yelling at things that don’t work (as do most of us…never mind the fact that it doesn’t help, but venting that rage is essential male behavior!).
Nothing warms a comic reader’s heart like seeing fictional characters in deep sh_t.
A little Throgor channeling Ah-nold in the last panel…
Throgor’s a bit smarter, but he never did hold a position in office.
It’s impossible for me to think of Arnold without remembering that bit on the long defunct MAD TV, in a sketch about a fake movie full of Arnold clones called ‘Stolen Identity’. Look it up and you’ll never look at him the same way again!
I submit that Throgor is smarter than Arnold because the former never sought public office.
isn’t getting to a chopper that is on fire worse than a mob of angry hippies? i wouldn’t know because i’ve never seen a not stoned hippy or piloted a burning chopper in my life before
These are very angry hippies, the kind I hope none of you ever encounter!
The helicopter crashed, but didn’t catch on fire (even if there did seem to be a pointless cartoon explosion…man, remember the days when those were really unexpected?).
i remember power ranger explosions, make a pose EXPLOSION! start the fight EXPLOSION! end the fight more explosions! make a serene painting…about EXPLOSIONS! and it explodes into a bigger explosions ….. sometimes mihal bay is right…explosions really are a story
You know what’s nice? His goon squad actually gives enough of a rat’s hind leg to extract their fearless leader. What’s even nicer? They’re smart enough to say ‘screw the caper, time to leg it!’.
Considering just prior to this they were about to leave AND rip off his limbs, it’s a nice change of pace. And as usual, it looks like Toxsick’s the one with all the concern for the old bonehead!
Hmmmm, I see what you mean. It would have been all too easy for them to have ditched Scapula (or, worse, thrown him to the hippies as a distraction while they make their getaway).
What do you think, folks? Does Scapula truly have friends, or just other folks who are in as deep of doodoo as he is?
