Scapula may have failed and betrayed this group before, but they seem more forgiving of his mistakes than they are towards Dr. Caliban. You can read about Oliver’s ill-fated plan for the team in the early storyline, THE SICKO SIX.

I expected this strip to be Throgor calling bullshit on Scap, since he did not say anything in the last one and seemed agggravated (Okay, that is his default mode, but still).
I like the shadow in panel two. It reminds me of older cartoons, with the silhouettes having mouth holes and all.
Is Calibani wearing mecha gloves or padded gloves? It doesn’t seem like the typical rubber/spandex I would expect from someone in a lab coat.
I’m looking at those wacky shadows again and now it reminds me of the Daffy Duck cartoon The Great Piggy-Bank Robbery. If only the SMDL had hired Rubber Head or Neon Noodle they would be unstoppable!
Dr. Caliban wears metal gloves, for no other reason than they look “cool”. He has pudgy little sausage-fingers within them.
At least Scap put together a gang. Dr. Caliban has done little with his time but jack an electronics store. And of course he seems less inclined towards profit than blatant egomania, something I suppose they’ve all had enough of lately.
Plus he’s short, ugly, and loud as an air raid siren.
Give him credit, he did go an get an education during all those years when he was MIA in the stories. He used to be a smelly little dork who took out garbage for a cheap eatery, and now he’s a bona fide mad scientist!
…and still nobody likes him. Them’s the breaks.
Any education that takes an idiot and turns him into an idiot with skills probably missed the point. Besides, I think he’d be a much better leader with some kind of, y’know, leadership skills, maybe charisma. Never follow a commander you actively want to shoot…… or one you couldn’t shoot if you had to.
Nothing like an even worse alternative to break the tension and make everyone agree.
I really wonder what Toxsick will do to Scapula this time if he doesn’t live up to his expectations, though.
Makes you wonder: perhaps Hitler got in power because the opposition might have been a guy like Dr. Caliban. That could be an interestingly stupid “What If?” story.
Well, in any case, he certainly came in handy now, and all he had to do was be the worst troll imaginable.
Oliver gets no respect. But, I DO wonder what he’s gonna get for his attempted mutiny?
He’s probably the kind of guy who’s going to go badmouth them on-line. I’d imagine Dr. Caliban has his own blog where he blasts everything and everyone.
….saaaay, that could be a funny idea!
Jeez… Scap does all the work, and Caliban wants to horn in!
To be fair, Oliver has been building all of those robots and gadgets that have been giving Scap a lot of his recent successes. To also be fair, Oliver is a total jerkwad.
Hahaha, Oliver, you suck. 😀 It’s funny because nobody likes you!
That’s the philosophy of nearly every TV show or movie these days (just replace “Oliver” with nearly any character).
Well, instant democracy. Seems pretty easy.
Just add water…and a little A-hole punk!
Scap is a different guy ever since he started getting a little something something
Isn’t that true of every guy?
Nobody ever gives respect to the mad scientist. *sigh*
They should! Hell, there’s a whole sing-along blog musical about a mad scientist, and EVERY FANGIRL I KNOW GETS HORNY FOR HIM!
I wonder, what ever happened to that other super villain organization Scapula was never invited to? http://www.scapulacomic.com/?p=68
Ugh…THAT one. That was a ‘filler’ strip from when I first started the webcomic. It’s not part of the official continuity and the only reason I don’t take it down is because people would bug me about it.
Gowaaaan, LAUGH at my humble beginnings! See if I cry!
