GIANT ATTACK MONSTERS MEGA-BATTLE! pg14
The kaiju rampage has begun!…and if you’re a really hardcore monster movie fan, see if you can identify all of the cameos in panel 3 (and if you’re a hardcore SCAPULA fan, see if you can identify all the cameos in panel 2)!
To all of theĀ Kickstarter backers who pledged at higher levels, you should have received an update calling out for your character art commissions (the call for the “Be a Kaiju” caricatures will go out in about another week); if you have not responded please check your inbox so I can get going on making your artwork. You paid for it, so now you’re gonna GET IT!…wait, that sounded wrong.
For Panel 2, I can spot Little Miss Miserable (if I’m remembering her name right) and Moonie (again, if I have the name right).
I’ve seen the balding guy saying “What th–?” before but I can’t quite place him.
Little Miss Miserable and Moonie are indeed the correct names (…and also stupid names)! Seems these ladies just can’t leave San Francisco…although they may be tempted after they see this monster.
The balding fellow is Barron Storey, a real-world artist who appeared a couple of times very early on in the series. Barron was one of the very first people to encourage me to pursue Scapula as a comic series (because young artists do need all the emotional support they can get) so I try to honor him every once in a while with a silly cameo.
I remember the moment that I saw the trailer for Pacific Rim that sold me on paying theater prices for a seat to see something big get hit in the head by a giant robot using an oil tanker as a club in a metropolitan city center.
Please tell me DadaHyena… what is going to hit the Throgordonanonagon in the head and what will be the blunt instrument that shall compel me to pay wax theater prices for such a sight?
Hmmm…let’s see. The top contenders for head-whopping are:
-Terry Gilliam as the Knight With The Rubber Chicken from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
-Ruth Buzzi, who used to pummel men mercilessly with her purse on those Dean Martin celebrity roasts.
-Marvin Suggs, the sadistic Muppahone player from The Muppet Show.
-Homie the Clown from In Living Color
-Moe Howard, the undisputed king of comedic abuse.
Got any other skull-pummellers that would fit the role? Comment below!
The Three Stooges. cant forget them!
“You numb-skull!” WHOP!
I vote for Homie the Clown!
“I don’t think so!” WHOP!
“Homie don’t play dat!”
I have a feeling you’re going to raise the bar for ‘Biggest Fart in a Webcomic’, soon.
I don’t think anyone’s going to top Moonie Meadows in that department…although it looks like she’s here in a very brief cameo. Perhaps an encore butt-thunderclap is in order?
I think Throgor here is in a PRIME position to literally destroy the old record. Some monsters breathe fire from their mouths….. Others? Don’t necessary have to breathe fire and it doesn’t necessarily have to come out of their mouth.
He looks awesome, by the way.
what about barbarus? he could allready clear a building…
I recognize about half the characters in panel 3. Do you think for ONE SECOND that I can recall so much as one name of one movie they are from?! Gawd, I haven’t watched an old monster movie in so long….. I gotta dig out my vhs collection and get back on that.
Well, time for a Throgormageddon! *grabs popcorn*
Am I allowed to assign homework to my readers? Very well, so be it! Everyone go watch some monster movies; you will be quizzed on how much you liked it and how silly of a movie it was!
…hey, it’s about as pointless as any college curriculum.
Man if that was my homework I’d have aced that class. Wait, I aced every class I ever had but math…… well I’d still have aced that! Don’t ask me to actually tell you anything I learned of course, it comes to me when IT wants to.
There are times when I regret drawing cartoons in every class I’ve ever had, and there are times when I think drawing cartoons has taken me a lot further than knowing about algebra and Walden. Live and learn (or draw, whichever).
Sooo many cameos
…and I have to pay all of them for having a spoken part!
Nyeeeeeeeee-YIPE!
YIPE! YIPE! YIPE! YIPE…! (trails off into the distance)
*DING!* Dr. Serizawa, from the first Godzilla movie (or rather, Gojira) is the guy with the eyepatch, right?
That’s one! Go for the rest!
Just had dental work. Brain not work so well.
Oh, duh. The one raising a fuss is Carl Denham from King Kong. You even gave me the name. *facepalm*. And I am thinking the blond man is Glenn Amer from Invasion of Astro Monster? If so that would probably be um…… had to look it up, Miss Namikawa next to him? Credit to Big Marty reminding me of that movie.
