Before all of you zombie fans go crazy, I have to confess that the only George A. Romero film I’ve ever seen (or remember seeing) is the original Night of the Living Dead. I know zombies are super-popular right now, thanks to the Walking Dead show that I’ve never seen but still get drawing requests for at every convention I attend!
Looks like the Sinister Monster Doom Legion have escaped the hippie horde (well, most of them). What happens now? Find out on Tuesday.
Now THAT’s what I call a happy ending!
*audience groans*
Sorry,sorry.
But seriously, I’m glad that the gang escaped safe and sound (mostly. Wow, Babirus has an even thicker skull than I thought) and the extent of their failure is limited to a simple inability to actually achieve their goal, as opposed to getting beaten up, arrested, humiliated, killed, put in the loony bin, the list goes on.
Props to Hypnausea for managing to find Moonie and get laid in the middle of all that commotion, by far my favourite character!
Trust me, you could have made a LOT worse (and inappropriate) puns involving an “ending”!
In terms of how defeats go, this one may have been pretty severe. Losing a member aside (even if he left by choice), we still have yet to see what the gang thinks about Scapula’s brilliant idea to come out to the desert full of angry dorks. That wont score him too many leadership points anytime soon!
Figures that if any of the SMDL would feel at home with that bunch, it’d be Hypnausea. Well, Scap’s done himself in again with his big mouth. Likely they all know what he was really up to, but hey, since they’d already decided to cut and run, it was probably gonna be a no-payout anyway…
What is going to happen when they put two and two together and realize Scapula’s been using them? Here’s hoping they’re REALLY dumb and add up those two’s into five!
My money is on Toxsick quickly realizing that there never was a payday here. He’s focused that way.
Are you sure that’s a man Toxsick?
And why am I not surprised Hyp took his chances to get laid :P?
It’s as much of a man as that furry carpet-ape that jumped around an airplane was!
Here’s hoping they at least pocketed some loot on the way out. And yay! Babirus’ brain is small enough to have been missed! Hm, maybe the guys will feel like more of a close knit unit after this near-death escape?
Figures Hypnausea would make out like a bandit at Burning Man…… his typical low standards must mesh well with the poor judgement of the thoroughly stoned.
Remember: No matter how angry you are, do not hang onto a fleeing helicopter. When you fall, you will either be killed or maimed, especially if it’s moving forward with any speed!
The crowd is awesome looking hun. Panel 1 is actually pretty disconcerting.
Babirus seems to be capable of surviving a lot of damage. Life toughens a body when you live on the street (or in the sewer).
If anyone profited from this whole ordeal, it was Hypnausea. Moonie should probably get herself checked if he didn’t bother to use proper protection (then again, who knows what she was carrying beforehand?).
Glad you enjoyed the art, and there’s more carnage to come!
Few things make a sturdier skull than inbreeding.
The more and more redneck stereotypes I see, the more I believe your statement is true! Nothing’s offensive anymore, huh?
If hillbillies didn’t want to be made fun of, they’d… uhh… I can’t think of anything that would convince me to stop making fun of them.
Shot in the head, but the brain wasn’t hit – it’s probably a difficult target in this special case. 🙂
He might have left his brain in his locker on this particular day. It could happen!
How is that chopper still flying?
Babirus may have been shot, but his expert mechanic/pilot skills allowed him to pull a super-fast repair job.
Does anyone believe that, or should I whip up another last minute excuse?
That was my question…but you of course handled it..hahah
thank god that you need a actual brain to get brain damage :D, also good to see that at least SOME ONE is sticking to the plan, with some slight personal modifications, also those are some fierce and hurtful hippies O_O random name calling!?!
P.S. i like your night sky it looks nice
I may hate the desert but the sunsets are nice. They’re probably more enjoyable as a desktop screensaver when you have the AC on full blast, but that’s just me.
Babirus makes do with whatever gray matter God stuck in his dense, dense, dense skull. He may not seem bright, but if you give him an order he’ll see it through, come hell or high hordes of hippies!
Toxsick’s delivery was positively Shatner-esque, I’d say.
SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!
…and some other great moments turned into overused memes.
Is…is it just me or did that fella in purple on panel 2 remind anyone else of a Twilight Zone episode???
Only his face wasn’t effed up enough
You mean the one with Shatner?
*cough-cough*
(Geez, I am too subtle for this room…)
Which one could that be? The one where the little doll wants to kill the mean daddy? The one where the airplane goes back in time? The drunk who wants to be Santa Claus? Or maybe the one where the general, the clown, the ballerina, the hobo, and the Scottish stereotype are trapped in a huge room?
And many, many, many, many, many more awesome ones to choose from…
(but seriously, that gremlin’s face was pretty screwed up!)
I told you…the source of all his powers.
It ain’t spinach, that’s for sure!
Is the ‘man out there’ with the mascara bizarre, ape-like features a reference to that episode of The Twilight Zone? Whoa, it totally is!
You got it, Dandabug (well, it wasn’t the episode with the tiny robots who antagonize Agnes Moorehead, that’s for sure). If I can stick a pointless cameo to a show or movie that I love into my comics, then I know I’ve done a good job!
Ah-HAH! Good going Dandabug!
And it’s another successful retreat from another failed mission. Babi shrugs off a head wound, Hype gets his end wet, Moonie gets her jollies, Scap’s frustrated as usual, the rest of the gang’s realizing they’ve been had (again), the Army gets its chopper back and the hippies will think the whole magilla was another head trip.
All in favor of removing Scap as our leader say “Aarrghhh!”
Sums it up pretty well, methinks. We’ll see this week just what’s in store for Scap in the gang.
As for the hippie crowd assuming it was all a hallucination…it’s possible. I’m sure they’ve witnessed stranger manifestations after dropping it!
Hey, it’s not like any others are plotting any heists!
We’ve most certainly learned that Moonie doesn’t have standards for a lot of things… including men!
Is doing Hypnausea a step up or down after doing Scapula (and all those hippies in-between)? I leave that query for you all to decide for yourselves!
Hm, more skilled, but at the same time a highly used ride. I’d say Hyp’s a step down. Kind of like moving from a used truck to a used compact car.
What’s a bit more disturbing is that Moonie thought she was bopping a monkey… Don’t do drugs, kids…
I didn’t want to think about that, but it’s true: Moonie had the time of her life, and she thought she was getting laid by a giant psychedelic monkey. I feel a collective shudder in the air…
We all have a little monkey business going on! … Moonies banana peeling good time Isn’t really a stretch from the average, knuckle dragging guys you see pass through this place anywhoo! [grin]
It funny how quickly men revert to their primate roots when there’s a woman in the vicinity!
Oh, snap! That is so devilishly awesome. I love the way this one concluded, Aidan. I certainly was not expecting that to occur. Poor Scapula, he can never seem to get a Win on his record.
Thanks, George! Scapula may not have ‘won’ this one, but he gets a little better each time. At this rate he should be able to pull off a 7-Eleven heist in, oh, a decade!
