GANGWAY pt.7
The gangster’s muddled dialogue can be traced to any number of Benny Hill sketches where an entire skit was built around a character having a speech impediment or thick accent. Maybe I overdid it a little.
…and speaking of ‘overdoing’ things: yes, that deadly weapon Olivia throws is exactly what you think it is. That’s right…it’s a flashlight!
Okay, I’ll admit, this week’s installment is really pushing the line of good taste, which I normally try to avoid (I’ve tried to keep this comic PG-13). I leave you now to go say some rosaries and try to purge this wicked evil from my system. Next week will be nicer…trust me.
Wow a pink flashlight. Where do you buy thoses?
I think Scapula is in love now.
Man, I enjoyed this week’s comic! It contained everything I liked: characters with funny names and physical maladies, 93%-naked thick-chicks, flying vi–…ahem, flashlights, and a ripped out bone. I don’t know what you’re gonna come up with next week, Aidan. 🙂
It’s the Valkyries’ Vorpal Vibrator! +10 attack bonus against humorless thugs, with an additional +2 for every item of clothing the wielder is NOT wearing!
Tony Montana says:
Come on! Go ahead! I take your (*$#%&@!) flashlight! Come on! I take your (*$#%&@!) flashlight! You think you kill me with light? I take your (*$#%&@!) flashlight! Go ahead!
🙂
@Bearman Just about any trendy store back in San Francisco…seriously. And I think Scapula falls in love with any woman that terrifies him (like any guy)!
@George It’s weird, because I felt really nervous about posting this one. The majority of my professional freelance work is children’s entertainment, and while I would never include graphic sex or violence in any client work I still do worry that SCAPULA might frighten away potential clients or studio recruiters. I can only hope such interested parties are keeping their sights on my professional portfolio instead of my silly webcomic.
…but enough of that. Glad you’re enjoying the show, George! Feel free to borrow some of the leftover blood and gore!
@Hoomi Is that an RPG? As in “Really Perverted Girl”? 😉
@SpilledInky I think Hannah Montana said the same thing on TV the other night…heh heh heh…
Yeah, you’re probably pushing the boundary of PG-13 with this one, but really no more than Hollywood has done on numerous occasions (I think it was a Steve Martin movie where they’re at one gal’s house when the power goes out, and the guy tries to retrieve a flashlight from the hostess’ dresser, and, well, you get the drift). “Two and a Half Men” would never have made it on broadcast television when I was a kid (yes, we DID have television that long ago).
Heck, we were at Walgreen’s this evening, and I noticed a “Health Massager” on display, and thought, “Yeah, a little satisfaction is a healthy thing.” I think it would difficult to fault someone for showing something in a comic that the average kid is liable to see in a PG-13 movie or at a typical drug or department store (though maybe not one quite so, um, “powerful”…).
I am so amused by this weeks comic, I don’t know where to begin! =) … I would just take every innuendo you can find and assume It’s what I was going to say! BRAVO!!
Assault with a deadly… um… er… weapon? I think a fella’s pride would be hurt worse by having to admit to being knocked out by a dildo than the actual physical damage.
@Hoomi Very good points you make. We could go into the whole “which is worse for kids to see: sex or violence?” debate, but that should be saved for another time (when there’s coffee and pastries). I do completely agree that things in the media, especially cartoons, have gotten a lot raunchier (thank you, Seth MacFarlane!), further proving that people will pay anything to see what they want to see.
I don’t think I’m going to make a helluva lot on a comic where a gangster is killed with a…flashlight. It was just the most outrageous thing I could think of for the situation. Playing it safe can result in dull, uninteresting work, so, in the honor of art and creativity, I present you: a gangster being killed with a…flashlight.
@jynksie I am very honored by your praise, Scott! Glad you enjoyed!
I also think it’s interesting how many married men read SCAPULA…am I tapping into some hidden vein of the psyche? That’s another debate to avoid for now.
@David Oh yeah…a few of my women friends get a humongous pleasure out of making their male friends (or at least me) squeamish by showing off their…flashlights. It’s not amoral or anything, it’s just…well…it’s…it’s YUCKY, dat’s what it is! Dirty filth! Get thee to a nunnery!
The Scarface reference – love it!
@Dan I completely forgot about that…and it’s funny, because I prefer the original Howard Hawks version over the Brian De Palma remake.
Well, at least there’s something for everyone to love!
Heh, “weach for da ceiwing”. Please tell me that reads aloud as a high pitched Mike Tyson impression.
@Chris W Y’know, I didn’t think of that, but maybe Big Wips could be a bad Tyson lampoon! He’s certainly been a pugilist in his time (how else would you explain the swollen lips?).
hahaha, did she just dildo him in the face? nice.
@Slug No. It’s a flashlight. Everyone knows that’s a flashlight! Let it rest, already!
Yes! Let it rest! That flashlight is obviously being overworked in some dark places! It needs some time off! It may be highly rated for customer satisfaction, but it’s having a hard time avoiding burn-out.
@Hoomi …I…uh…Lordy, I’m just speechless.
Give Hoomi a treat!
