For the unacquainted: the mohawk-topped woman with the baseball bat is Rizz, the bartender of the fine establishment currently being torn apart by these bastards. Her sexual orientation should be pretty obvious, even if it takes some spelling out for the Homophobe (and if you aren’t familiar with the Homophobe’s crippling weakness by now…just take a wild guess).
..Wait, I thought the idea was that the bartender doesn’t take sides? Homophobic comments from the Miscreants aside, now that they’ve gotten their comeuppance, shouldn’t Rizz be using that bat on Sam and throwing her out too? I mean, she was the one who technically started the brawl, attacking El Disgusto and all that.
Very true; she could potentially sully her reputation by taking sides with patrons, because there isn’t a baseball bat in the world that’s big enough to hold off some trouble-makers.
Aww, I will feel bad if the Miscreants die. As reprehensible as they are.
If they die, it would be really messed up (or funny) if someone played Britney Spears at the wake…see, because they’re punk rockers, and Britney isn’t ‘punk’, although she’s kind of a punk (is Pink ‘punk’?)…okay, I’ve completely lost my train of thought.
El Disgusto reveals his true supervillain power: Talking without a face!
In all due sincerity, the Homophobe is one of my favourite characters with that mask and constantly bulging eyes, it is quite sad to see his end. 🙁
I remember when Scapula casually told the bartender to call him when she quitted being a lesbian. I really wanna find out what happened to her eye….. and chest!
Maybe El Disgusto can use his own face as a puppet! He could do a pretty hilarious act, as long as you ignore the gorey mess that is his head.
We’ll find out more about the Miscreants, Rizz, Life, the Universe, and Everything very soon.
Yeah, sometimes you get screwed up, usually by an attack from behind. And sometimes all you need to recover is a quick break, or one of your enemies to get crushed into paste for you! I find Rizz’s reaction to Sam knocking some heads together quite realistic too….. people sometimes don’t expect things to get WORSE than a bat to the teeth, but oh, they do!
Sam’s only real mistake here was targeting El Disgusto over Wooly Rhino, but then again who wouldn’t? Target prioritization is a hard skill to master when target PREFERENCE looms large in the mind. I find myself doing the second sometimes too.
See, everyone? El Disgusto DID serve a purpose. Keep this in mind the next time you form a gang: the filthiest, most obnoxious person you’ve ever met just may be useful after all (just don’t tell him/her they’re there to be pummeled).
See? I told you. I had every confidence that the Miscreant problem would sort itself out all on its own. They managed to bring it on themselves!
A peaceful alternative if there ever was one.
OOftah! The trash is being taken out!
…and then they’ll have to deal with the Miscreants! Ba-dum-tssh!
Love the look on Rizz’s face in the last panel!
I’d say she got an eye-full! Ooooh…is that insensitive?
“KRRRTCH!” is always a lethal sound.
Especially when it’s the sound my pants make when I sit down.
This was an awesome, extremely brutal installment this go-round. It almost made me feel bad for the bad guys (even if I could decide exactly who the good guys are).
I think this fight was necessary, and even in its violent glory, it merely showcases how serious and dangerous a villain’s world can be. I hope Scap and his teenage henchmen will be prepared to battle this hard when the chips fall.
Glad you can appreciate some good wholesome carnage, George! Truth be told, if I can make anyone feel bad for the bad guys it means I’m doing a good (uh, “bad”) job with SCAPULA.
Being a crook is dangerous work, folks. Don’t ever buy the hype about the ‘glamorous’ criminal lifestyle. It’s DIRTY. Been there….. got the hell out.
Welp. Imma miss the Miscreants. Sorta. But at least got they get the honor of being the first characters to actually beat Knuckle Sam in a brawl.
I think.
It looks like they would have won if Rizz didn’t interfere, so I’d say the Miscreants still have some kind of honor in nearly defeating her (except for El Disgusto).
Let’s see if they pull through and fulfill that honor!
I dunno, when you start to take the beats you can have a serious rage-adrenaline rush. I’ve pulled a win out against three to one odds before by snapping like that, and my opponents were in better shape!
The same adrenaline rush that we geeks only know from our youthful Nintendo days (but I’d imagine you get the same feeling when you beat either barroom punks or Bowser).
I’ve just realized something. the worst thing one could do is kill El Disgusto in an enclosed space. Not only would it smell extremely repulsive, but I bet all the gas in his body would promptly explode after only a few hours of decomposition.
Now THAT’S got to be one of the worst ways you can die. That only upside is that you’d take everyone else with you (like, everyone within a city block)!
Debate: Given Toxsick’s ability to survive his own weaponry, would it be him AND Babirus surviving, or just Babirus?
Their stench would combine and melt the ozone layer like wet toilet paper.
This strip is b-b-b-b-bad, bad to the bone. Breaking bone, that is! One more thing I’d like to add: “YOWWWWWTCH!”
Not to mention: OWIE!
