I was going to post a “For the unacquainted” explanation here, but let’s see if you loyal longtime readers can fill in the newbies on the dearly departed members of the Sinister Monster Doom Legion. Can YOU name them all?

If I ever become a supervillain, I will either recruit the real life equivalent of Toxsick or pay someone to become his real life equivalent, if this should not exist yet.
Also: How did those guys get into a church/hold a … I don’t know what you call this type of meeting. Technically, it is probably not a funeral…
Scapula and his crew have a current base in an abandoned church/reform school. It’s pretty convenient for a gang to have their own chapel, so score a few points for Scapula’s choice.
The real life equivalent for Toxsick could probably come in handy (unless if he murders you, but really, you have to keep your eye on EVERYONE these days). If nothing else, there’s always someone to fumigate for roaches…and kill the whole neighborhood in the process!
Shy of poisoning everyone, I know a very similar figure to Toxsick. He wrote up some bios for Scapula characters, actually……
Jesus Christ, you are right. Seems like every time I comment, I mess something up. Damn…
Oh, pshaw. I love comments. The only way you could mess things up is to click “Post Comment” and somehow blow up the Internet.
…don’t ever do that!
Zodi jr., Bombastar, Ghost Walrus …and Darevilhelldeath-man
Good job! Go get a cookie out of the kitchen (if mom yells at you for ‘spoiling your dinner’, tell her I said it was all right).
Probably beat to the punch already, but why not:
– Zodi Jr., AKA Mr. Kennedy, gun nut and sociopath with a thing for murder with a side of excessive murderous joy. Shot in the head after the initial wave of terror from the Sinister Monster Doom Legion’s first incarnation when floating in a raft defying the police.
– Bombastar, AKA Douglas Naware, chronic loser, bullied kid, Mona Naware’s abused brother, and passive aggressive rage case who was nuts enough to wear a helmet full of explosives and actually DID light the fuse. Saved Scap and co from Mona Naware, her nutty Aunt September, and a gang of roller derby girls in the process. Still a whiner.
– Ghost Walrus, AKA a very good Cab Calloway impressionist. Made one appearance leading the SMDL members who had turfed out Scapula, got shot several times by Sharkmouth Massanti’s gang, and died.
– DARKEVILHELLDEATH-Man, AKA D.E.H.D.-Man, a robot in a sock puppet on Scapula’s hand, with laser eyes. Represented all the ruthless competence of Scapula as well as his self hatred (at least that’s how I read it). Formed the Sinister Monster Doom Legion (including importing Tigadactyl), led them to make a giant robot dinosaur, killed when Scapula got his mind back under control thanks to the promise of big tits and ripped it apart to get it off his hand.
– Behemoth: The giant robot brontosaurus built by the first SMDL. Roasted a lot of San Fran, stomped on a lot of what remained, humiliated Inspector Farley, and then got hit by the military while rendered immobile as Scap and D.E.H.D.-Man struggled for control. Dumped into the bay while retreating across the Golden Gate Bridge. Not an actual member but I like to think it had personality.
Looks like one person got ahead of you, but you went the “extra credit” route and wrote up biographies AND the additional member/vehicle, Behemoth! That’s probably worth, ohhhh, TWO cookies at least!
I’m still amazed how some people can just recite the history of SCAPULA characters; it’s flattering to know that my stoopud comics have some merit to the few, the brave.
Sweet! COOKIES!
What can I say? Your comic is way more interesting to read than ACTUAL comics these days! And the characters are actually easy to get to know and like or hate as you prefer.
I suspect Hypnausea stages these little tableaus just for the sake of dressing up.
Pretty much. He’s having a baby shower later that day, despite the minor fact that nobody’s pregnant.
That’s ok, he’s sure somebody is pregnant with his kid out there somewhere at any given time. 😛
I think Hypnausea just jumped up to the spot of my favourite character in this comic. I was going back and forth between him, Throgor and Jemini, but there’s just something about how absurd the situation in this strip is, and his straight-faced dialogue, that I find really entertaining.
Also, the departed gang members are, from left to right: Zodi Jr, Bombastar, and Ghost Walrus. The “sock puppet” mentioned is Darkevilhelldeathman.
He takes his business seriously (even the stupid business), and while most of us may think he’s being excessive or pointless, well…to him it’s important. Why? I don’t know, because I’m sane.
You do have to give him credit for being passionate about what he does, unlike a certain other member who’s grumbling in his gas-mask!
It’s a fair question. The answer would be, for laughs, I think.
I hope my eulogy is as well attended and nice
Everyone will make the “Bearman face” in respect.
Box Pres… THANK YOU! Someone else who sees the joy of Hypnausia… His dandyism makes me rather happy…. so much so I wanna drink twice!
He’s probably the closest thing to “happy” in the group, if you ignore Babirus’ childish naivete. Again, Hypnausea is a passionate character, and that’s what makes him fun to write and draw (even if I’m writing and drawing idiotic scenarios with a cross-dressing crook).
What abou Tigadactyl? Isn’t he happy to be in a major villain organization?
On that account, we really need to know what he was thinking when he accepted!
He staying in character, and it’s apparently not a very cheerful monster.
Other than Minilla, ARE there happy monsters? (And Minilla can burn in hell)
My wife won’t announce my death! She’s going to wait and see if anyone even noticed! [smirk] … I loved that creepy sock puppet. He never once complained about that arm going up his backside!
Here’s hoping the Mrs. never runs away with a sock puppet; then you’ll have to put your boot up his backside!
Oh, Toxcsick….. Doesn’t he know that most great men have to ascend a great big pile of stupid people to get to the top? 😀
He must stick around with the crew for the validated parking and cheap healthcare. 😀
