Same Scap time…same scap channel
Does Scap wear chanel? Well, it might make him smell nicer…oh, yuh said “channel”. D’ohh, wonk wonk.
Yeah, Scap called in his now-conspicuously-absent friends.
Though knowing these guys, it may take longer than they have to figure that out…
The MIscreants don’t look like the type that does their homework or can connect Point A to Point B. Scap might be able to pull the wool over their eyes…maybe.
Honestly, I’m feeling this new, darker, more competent Scap. I’m intrigued by how he’s essentially the weakest figure in the cast in criminal skills – no super powers, no confidence at all, no physicality to speak of, no real successes to speak of, no real loyalty or even honesty, nothing except the latent super-genius that is so repressed it could only manifest as a freakin’ SOCK PUPPET before (and yet still destroyed half a major city) – and yet he is learning to master his environment and conquer his foes through force of will and perseverance alone.
That’s some shit Lex and the Joker could be proud of. Scapula is definitely my favorite webcomic right now for a whole lot of reasons.
Thankya kindly, Andrew! Glad you’re enjoying the new and improved Scapula (depending on if you call being a cruel sumbitch an ‘improvement’), and it’s good to know that readers are appreciating the character’s struggles. Showing sympathy for a character can be done in less manipulative ways than making them perfect or superior to others, and my goal with Scapula was to avoid taking the more obvious route.
…even if it is the route that involves a living sock puppet!
It’s very easy to negotiate with dimwits when they are injured and need your help. The hard part? Making them realize it.
He may have to write it out for them…then get that written statement carved onto a blunt instrument and whack them across their faces!
I used to have a set of brass knuckles with ‘LISTEN!’ written backwards on them to make sure they got the message when they looked into a mirror. It worked out way better than it should have…… I give people too much credit in my head.
Another good message they can read in the mirror is, “TOLD YOU SO”.
I’ll have to keep that in mind next time I get a set engraved. Thanks hun!
if he wasn’t such a weenie he could be great, the plotting the menacing look in the last panel, scap…hit the gym and a gun range where they you wil learn to shoot with the pointy part not hit with the grippy part
He could probably do with a little shooting practice (but hey, don’t we all?), but Scap seems to be set on making something of himself. Now let’s just see whether that ol’ rotten luck kicks in…
Wow..El Disgusto is still alive?! Have to say I didn’t see that one coming. As for Scap..He really has come a long way from the pathetic sap who took hostages just to get a hug from a woman.
El Disgusto only got his balls shot, and let’s be honest, it’s not like he was using them for much anyway (although his voice is probably somewhat higher). As for Scapula, he is definitely not getting sucker-punched by any cops feigning sympathy this time around!
His disfiguring injury can only improve his mutant disgustingness ability. It’s like that dude who sliced his johnson into a religious symbol to do performance art, you would notice. 😀
I don’t know who that dude was..and I don’t think I want to know (lest I get a mental visual of it)!
That last panel makes him look very intimidating. I like it, it’s a nice change of pace from being a fucking whiny pussy.
Is Scapula really changing or will something send him right back to square one? Let’s find out!
Man, I’m really liking this side of Scapula. Maybe he’s finally coming into his own.
