GIANT ATTACK MONSTERS MEGA-BATTLE! pg8
Egad! Look alive, kiddies (even you beloved gothy readers)…
THIS IS THE FINAL WEEK TO PLEDGE for the Kickstarter campaign for Scapula and the Sinister Monster Doom Legion (the campaign ends early next Sunday morning); every bit of help and attention is needed to make it happen, so PLEASE click, peek, share, and donate, my dear readers. Believe me when I say this comic is going to be the best Scapula publication of them all, so let’s rock!
This is how Jason would get me, just by forcing out the word “pizza” from his mouth. I’d swing the door open and get a machete to the face, hold the anchovies.
I think either Jason or Land-Shark would have fooled me with the very first excuse; hell, even the Encyclopedia Salesman from Monty Python’s Flying Circus would have had me opening the door the moment he shouted “Burglar!”
But no monkies? Babirus will be so disappointed! In all seriousness though, I have seen incredibly intelligent people do things at LEAST this bonehead stupid. Notable favorite: A guy who had just finished warning all of us working at a clean up (pretty much a one shot summer job really) from a knocked down building that the gas main had been damaged and we had to clear out until further notice. The idiot then proceeds to stick a cigar in his mouth and pull out his lighter. Cue literal MENSA member getting tackled by day jobbers so he didn’t blow us all to hell and back.
Ha! It’s been said before that intelligence and common sense can be light years apart (having neither, I wouldn’t know…hey, where’s my cigar?). It almost sounds like a Three Stooges bit you’re describing, except Moe never spent years at college only to be blown to smithereens.
Spoiler: they do not find any monkeys. Sorry, Babirus, but sometimes life just doesn’t hand out free monkeys no matter how hard you work for it.
Babirus seems to be making do in the last panel. After all, do we not share a common ancestor with the apes?
This job is really blowing up in their collective faces, inst it. behemoth? scrapped. telegatewayporter? too big to carry out. If its not one thing, Its another.
At this rate they’ll be lucky if they can steal the contents of the hallway vending machine (no chance, those damned things ALWAYS get stuck!).
Common sense isn’t. ‘Nuff said.
Speaking of a complete lack of common sense, I became kickstarter backer number 49! I’ve been scraping, scrimping, and saving so I could get SOMEthing in on this one.
Mostly in memory of Jenn. She’d have wanted you to succeed, because the woman was batsqueak insane in all the right ways.
Awww, thanks buddy! I saw your pledge, and it’s very kind to do it in Jenn’s honor (I can list her in the backer credits along with your name, if you wish your pledge to be done partially on her behalf).
I absolutely do. That would be great! I’m sure she’d be proud!
Come on folks, it’s almost there!
Congrats, Mister Casserly! Looks like you clawed victory from defeat! Although it does sadden me I don’t get to see you in orangutan mode……. oh well!
Thankya, Trev! We just made it, thanks to rocking readers like you! (hey, I feel like a PBS announcement)
As for the orangutan thing, you can always catch my one-man act “Improv at the Rue Morgue”.
Casserly does Poe? I am interested in this.
