Ummm, yeeeeeahhhh…you, er, wear old-timey hats and…wear…hats…yeah. D’oh!
But seriously, a lot of my roller derby friends just refer to it as ‘derby’ (just like how I refer to them as ‘derby girls’, ‘yowza, derby girls!’ and ‘please don’t kick me in the junk again, derby girls’).
There are equal flaws to impulsiveness and indecisiveness, and Scapula may just be discovering one of them. But hey, it beats sitting around, smoking all day and grumbling!
Scapula, you were showing such progress, but now … I mean, think about it. What kind of group of women would someone like freakin KNUCKLE SAM be hanging out with? And you want to charge into a room full of them?
No wonder you keep ending up in the hospital. And not getting laid. >.<
Speaking of Uncle Sam, reading the older comics reminded me that I actually liked Uncle Sam more in her older version – she was more clever, and a blond faux-hawk with a mullet looked nice on her.
Yeah, this means my book arrived. Delivery was late in the day so I was asleep when it got here, and roommate didn't hear anyone at the door so it was a nice surprise for me when I stepped out.
I've actually interrupted my reading of the Squid Row book I recently got so I can greedily flip through my new Scapula tome. So if you were looking for a "neener neener neener" moment to throw at Brig, there ya go, Dada. 😀
Well, he’s only ended up in a hospital once (I think) for gangland-related injuries, but you would only know that if you read [warning: upcoming plug at the end of this sentence] the first zine story, conveniently reprinted in SCAPULA VOLUME 1. Other than that he just seems to recover from injuries pretty darned quick. A super-power, perhaps?
“Uncle Sam”…I can’t believe I never made that connection before. That could either be a relatively-funny new character or just a relatively-funny meme for the Facebook page come July! Hooray for accidents!
Finally, I’m really glad to hear your book arrived AOK and that you’re enjoying the stories. Don’t worry about Brig, she’s probably busy reading her copy, too!
…unless it’s being told to you, personally. I hate that! You’d swear the other person did that to DELIBERATELY irritate you! Why would someone do something like that?! Gah! Razza-frazzin’, no-good, rotten little….
To quote from an old book, You have not cause you ask not. Asking yields information that can be used to make better decisions. In a multitude of counsellors there is safety. The bottom line – after asking for info a person has to make a choice and not wait for a committee to act. Scapula is down a few men, he should at least get some cannon fodder to keep Knuckle Sam busy while they even up the teams. Hypnausea sure knows how to smoke with style.
That’s our bit of wisdom for the day, folks! Read it over; even if it doesn’t apply to the creeps in this comic it still is a darn fine bit of advice.
Hypnausea’s skills lie only in the ability to make things looks snazzy that are completely useless. He may not know how to form a scheme of his own, but hey, he can puff out a neat little flower petal!
You’d be surprised how many people start listening to you when you start taking yourself seriously. But what do I know, I’m just a silly ol’ cartoonist. Woob woob woob woob!
EXCUSE ME! I do believe you fellas think I don’t read the comments here… I’ll have you know Grey/Dada… I have put down my book, indeed, to read the new Scap…
Ahem… Nyah!
… and I love the sketches in the front… and the “black and white television” days in the beginning. I love your backgrounds, too…
And in today’s comic… I love the smoke from Hypnausia’s ciggie…. and he could TOTALLY kick Throgor’s butt.
Whoa boy…Bridgett is angry. She’s also probably on a caffeine-rush, so her strength and speed are tripled. Everyone run before she goes into a Popeye-esque mega-brawl!
Negative, Ghost Leader – throw down a Pop Tart and while she’s distracted we can evac. 😀
(she’s kinda like Throgor, in that way … keep a pocketful of snacks as bait, and you’re good ::snicker::)
And Mama Squid can rest easy, I may have put her book down for yours, but I moved hers to my nightstand for that few minutes of reading before going to sleep, so still working my way slowly through it.
Not going to comment today. I’m just going to see how this one ends up. What I am going to note is that I haven’t even heard roller derby referenced in years hun, good job!
No, I was never a derby girl. I have two half sisters who are.
Holy cow, just saw all of these comments you left! It’s so strange that I check in here every once in a while and find out this site still gets an occasional visitor (here I thought everyone would have just gotten the books by now…not too subtle about that, am I?).
In any case, thank you again for enjoying the old Archives and leaving all of your comments, they’re always appreciated.
Waaait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait.
There is an actual game called Derby? 🙂
Ummm, yeeeeeahhhh…you, er, wear old-timey hats and…wear…hats…yeah. D’oh!

I like his decisiveness. However it might not be the best idea at the moment.

Yeah, I meant Knuckle Sam in that second paragraph, still got a the back of my mind the obvious reference, and it got into my typing.
So bite me – and add an edit feature. >.<

The good ol’ ‘Because you didn’t ask’ joke, always offering some laughs.

Sorry. I have a lot of annoying acquaintances.
A day that starts with Hypnausea getting punched is always a good one.
A day that ends with him being killed is even better!
Ooops, ‘spoilers’.
But he is my favourite character.
Well, usually Throgor wouldn’t take orders from Scap. But if it’s giving the weenie boy a hammering…heck, why not?
I think any command that involves quick brute violence is something Throgor doesn’t mind lowering himself to.

How many cigarettes does this crew go through?
That’s a zen riddle, right? Because seriously, I can’t think of a number that high!
It’s nice to see that Scapula has become adept at delegating responsibility. Poor Hyp’s face. 😀
You’d be surprised how many people start listening to you when you start taking yourself seriously. But what do I know, I’m just a silly ol’ cartoonist. Woob woob woob woob!
That’s gonna be an exciting derby!
Isn’t it always exciting? Wooo!
Scapula vs Derby girls… You could have at least made it fairer for him..
I gave him a gun, didn’t I?
Well, no, if it was going to be fair I should have given him a tank.

I hate when people expect me to give up gems of information without asking (or payment)
Nothing’s free, especially in the world of criminals and total A-holes (Hypnausea fits in just fine).

It’s kind of hard to miss when you live in Los Angeles!
I knew instantly what Hyp was talking about. The Rat City Rollergirls are a BIG thing up here.
Oooo, I’d love to see my Sammy up against Grave Danger

Ooooooooh….VERY nice! Wish I had seen this before I designed the derby team that shows up in the next comic!
DERBY ROLLER! Er, Roller Derby. Derby, derby, derby…
