SINISTER MONSTER DOOM LEGION pt.28
The first choice (and probably more logical) for Tigadactyl’s secret identity was Stan Winston. The teeny little fact that he’s passed this mortal coil scrapped that notion, although I suppose I could have just been silly and made it him anyway (explaining his “death” as simply him disappearing so he could go ‘play monster’). Hey, I used Eiji Tsuburaya in another strip, right?
Rick Baker is a funny person, even if not intentionally. Watch the interviews with him on the Universal monster movie collections. He flaps his hands around a lot (almost like…TIGADACTYL! See, it works! IT WORKS!).
So now we’ve seen the deaths of Darkevilhelldeath-Man, the Behemoth and today’s morgue filler: Zodi Jr (that, and a good chunk of the populace of San Francisco). If you’re going to have a climax, you might as well bump off as many folks as possible, right?
Tune in next week to find out who’s going next. This is the end, beautiful friends.
Some great sharp shooters there, they must be Navy seals. Two ass shots and a head shot, but with this bunch, it’s all the same. I am saddened by the death of Zodi Jr. early on in the story I had said that I really liked him, so I can only assume that you killed him because of me… WHAT DID I DO TO YOU?!?
Nice story wrap-up! I love the Scooby-doo ending! As a Scooby fan from way back… I give you many Scooby snacks for a job well-done!
Um… so where the heck is King Naughty-pants? Hypnausia.
Unbelievable scene and a great unmasking, Aidan! I can wait to see the mighty conclusion and more sharpshooting. 😀
@SquidRowMommy Zoinks! If I was going to compare Scapula to a Hanna-Barbera show, it would definitely be “Lippy the Lion and Hardy Har-Har”…I don’t know why, but what the hell.
@George The end is nigh! Thanks, George.
I love that panel with the helicopter – and the flaming bullets – your effects are crazy awesome, A.C. – ridiculously cool!
(Now where did I leave my kevlar vest again?) 🙂
Guess the cops don’t care much for whores.
Does that mean The Bearman might finally make the cut soon since all the other baddies are getting knocked off? haha
@SpilledInky Kevlar vest, lead helmet, steelclad socks…deck yourself from head-to-toe with the latest in bulletproof fashion! Ooh la la!
Glad you enjoy the violent artwork, Robert.
@Bearman Ends justify the means…that, and the police didn’t bother to realize the villains had a hostage (and they cant hear Scapula yelling).
The Bearman was already appointed class treasurer of the Sinister Monster Doom Legion, but had to quit his afterschool activities when homework got too tough.
And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I’ll say it clear;
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
I’ve lived a life that’s full –
I’ve travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
…seems a rather fitting swan song for this band of misfit thieves. A little Sinatra goes a long way! *grin*
@jynksie Whenever I hear that song I think of John Cleese (as the voice of an Ape named Ape) in the “George of the Jungle” movie. Funny sequence.
Now we all can picture Scott at karaoke, drunk and dramatic, singing his artistic heart away!
Looks like the hostage negotiations didn’t go well…and now he’s dead. What have we learned? Never skip that day in hostage taking class.
@JerryBenedict Dude, tell me about it. The only thing worse than flopping hostage taking class is being the “class clown” there…EVERYTHING goes downhill.
I hate homework.
@Bearman I hate it even more.
Interesting but worthless fact: there was a ‘Calvin & Hobbes’ strip where Calvin answered all of his homework questions: “I don’t know” (since it was technically an answer). I then did the same. The teacher was not amused.
Rick Baker! Too cool. I knew that guy was no good. Love the layout, dialogue and pacing. This is a really fun strip to read.
@Frank Well…he’s good at making monsters, ain’t he?
Glad you approve the work, Frankie Boy!
Did I offend with my first comment? just wondering, Usually I get a feedback. lol. Was it my love for Zodi Jr.?
@Roland Holy Hell! I forgot about you! Sorry, man, it’s been a busy week and you don’t demand attention as much as that little brat from Squid Row comics.
Regarding your comment, Zodi Jr was just marked for death. “Live by the sword…” and all of that (I’m probably riding on thin ice making a character based on a merciless serial killer, so maybe wiping him out will make the decent readers satisfied…the bloodthirsty ghouls…).
Bloodthirsty? We just want justice–long, slow, painful, and bloody justice… 😉
@macsnafu Egad, man! That’s either really frightening or really exciting, if you’re into the whole “kinky” scene. Justice should always be exacted with leather, whipped cream and an experienced dominatrix (amateurs always end up breaking your furniture).
Methinks the lady yet lives, and Scapula only got shot in the scapula. And a couple hoods are goign to be picking shrapnel out of their hind quarters, all while the dingy dinghy thinky sinkies… er sinks..
@Jande Your words almost have the makings of a classic dirty limerick. Now, let’s get the beat going on the little ditty and start repeating it wherever we go! “Ohhhhh, methinks the lady yet lives, and Scapula only got shot in the scapulaaaaa…!”
;`) would have worked better if I hadn’t typoed “thingy”.. But i agree with you. It coudl be a classic. or something.
Head shot!
@Jande Get enough bratty grade-schoolers to chant it and it’s good to go.
@Goeber That’s, what, ten points? Twenty? We gotta keep score, here!
“If you’re going to have a climax, you might as well bump off as many folks as possible, right?”
I’m going to use this to describe my sex life from now on.
@Brian Ooooooh, a smart guy, eh? Actually I think smart guys get a lot of action, so just don’t bump off anyone I know!
Know, or like? They’re not always the same! 😀
