Scapula’s certainly gotten meaner…but is he cunning enough to keep Jemini under his thumb (or gun)? And will they survive their first ROAD TRIP? Find out on Sunday!

Ha ha, that smile in the last panel is amazing.
You know, with the amount of modifications and plastic surgery scapula has had done to himself, you’d think people would find him more intimidating.
Have you ever seen Goth folks who wear those contact lenses that make their eyes look freaky or possessed? It may be a bit unsettling for a moment, but you get over it pretty quickly and realize the person wearing them is still a dork.
Scapula’s dorkiness seems to have been apparent for years, but here’s hoping his new-and-“improved” attitude matches his mask.
Hooowahhhh! I’m likin’ the new 90% more meaner Scap! Doin’ that Brodie from the chopper into the drink musta made his balls drop. Rock on, big guy.
He’s meaner, yeah, but I’m just hoping he’s just as interesting as a character (or more so). Whatever changes he goes through, here’s hoping you’ll all keep following along!
Under his thumb? Her boob is under his thumb! Copping a feel! He may be meaner… but he’s also crude and ungentlemanly like. Wait, what comic have I been reading!?
‘The left hand doesn’t know what the right is doing’. Scapula may be focused on his gun, but his subconscious urges slip out here and there.
It seems like Scapula has gotten stronger by embracing his weaknesses. Maybe that’s what he’s needed all along, Charlie Brown?
There have been so many ‘parodies’ of Charlie Brown that turn him into a violent badass (usually a skinhead) that I can’t really add anything to that. Scapula may be getting bad, but he’s nowhere near as bad as ‘Weapon Brown’.
Scapula IS, however, embracing one of his weaknesses in the literal sense!
Sometimes the “skinhead” is just a bald guy. Or I guess follicly challenged is more pc.
Bald guys just can’t catch a break, huh?
The sad part here is that Jemini doesn’t seem inclined to realize that she hides behind a gun just as often as he does….. probably more. More hypocritical, she hides behind OTHER people with guns pretty often, being a mob boss.
Don’t get me wrong, I use my guns a lot. You have to when everyone else is using a gun too. But I will never call someone a coward for hiding behind a gun if I’m unwilling to step out from behind the barrel myself. Fortunately for me, I’m quite capable of ripping someone apart with my bare hands, so I have no issue doing so! Still, guns are more efficient, and people are more scared of them on sight, so they’re less likely to do something stupid when one pops up in their face. The main point in bringing a gun to a situation nowadays is to prevent anyone doing anything stupid…… if you have to use it, someone did something wrong.
Jemini probably wouldn’t be saying the same thing if SHE was holding the gun. Maybe she’s just a sore loser (she must have been a lot of fun to play soccer with as a kid, right?).
I can’t say for certain if someone is better off with a gun or grizzly bear-levels of strength and rage, so I’ll leave that up to you gentle souls at home to decide for yourselves!
I’ve found ‘both’ works out rather well, but guns are usually a winning prospect at longer than arm’s reach. That said, never underestimate the power of a thrown office paperweight on someone’s anatomy when hurled with enough strength. I have seen some very terrifying pictures of what brute force can do to a body at any range.
That crazy look on his face is more intimitating than the gun itself. The gun is only a tool but the person’s mind is the weapon.
Guns don’t kill people, but they sure make it easier for jerks to kill people!
Indeed !!
You know I literally dreamed about Scapula characters again last night? Except this time Throgor, Toxsick, and El Disgusto had merged into the same character. He had Throg-level strength, Tox-level gas ability, but with, er, Disgusto-type dispersion method.
THAT dude was smelly. He was being kept in a plastic bag to prevent accidental asphyxiation of the rest of the cast.
What are you doing to my subconscious, Casserly???
I think I’ve seen that guy riding on the bus. He didn’t inspire me to create comic characters so much as inspired me to try walking wherever I go!
I don’t know if they do Omega-level classifications for fart powers, but…yeah.
Dear, me, it really has been some time.
Incidentally, Scapula’s shoulder plates are conspicuously absent.
Maybe they can’t be seen from this angle…or maybe those damned Miscreants swiped them off of his back when he was paying attention to Jemini!
