BONE CHINA pt.17
It’s on. Whether Scap is right or not in his suspicions it looks like he’s ready for some ol’ fashioned vengeance. Whatever the truth may be, rest assured, dear reader, this isn’t going to end with the usual screaming and running away.
You just like them because their initials are an anagram for Scap. 😀 Now if you can just get them to now if you coul djust come up with a way to add u-l-a to their initials somehow …
And as for the story … why am I now getting the image in my head that yes, Bone China is in on it but along the way got fond of Edgar? The image goes on to a nasty showdown where somehow Scap gets the upper hand, is ready to take out the Miscreants *and* BC – she makes a plea for what they could have, Scap thinks about it …
… and pulls the trigger! Final scene, he laments what was lost but moves on.
Man, am I getting involved with this story line. Damn you, Dada, why did I ever let myself get suckered into following those bread crumbs. Brig warned us, but did I listen? NoooOOOoooooo …..
Wow tried to adjust my typing mid-post but somehow it instead got hidden, and still appeared in the actual post. Bad browser, bad! If only we had an edit button …
I never edit people’s comments. If you make a typo, it’s carved in stone!
The flipside to that is that I’ve vowed to leave any typos I make in posts intact, so that I, too, may be mocked forever after.
CAPSula? Hey,I kind of like the sound of that! I would run it by the board, but I think they would throw the idea out…and me along with it!
Would Bone China really pull a ‘Pocahontas’ to get the Miscreants saved from the wrath of Scap? You would have to reeeally have to have a kind heart to want to put yourself on the line to save someone like El Disgusto!
As for the “bread crumb analogy”, Bridgett Spicer is TOTALLY the witch who lives in the candy house! And yes, I meant that in a nice way, Brig…
Watch it Scap.. The ole open mouth inset foot will get you everytime. I’m living it right now with my wife UGH
Jim
Yeah, but have you ever been as obsessive over your lover’s actions as Scap is here? Yeeeeeesh! Just be glad you’re with the loving wife you have, and not with a potentially back-stabbing Goth gal!
LOL if you only knew
Jim
Congratulations on your acceptance into CAPS! You most certainly deserve it.
Thank you, Michael! I appreciate your kind comment (now I just need to make sure they don’t kick me out!).
Congrats on making it into CAPS, Aidan! Way to go, champ!
I am so hyped up for Scap to get some revenge on that lil’ tramp. And I’m not even sure she’s guilty. But you know what they say about coincidences.
Hey! Just because I look like Lancelot Link doesn’t mean I’m a–oh, you said “champ”. Never mind!
It would take a huge coincidence for this all to be true…but hey, life just works that way sometimes. I’ve been tantalizing you readers long enough, so next week we really get the ball rolling!
Should be more worried about the amount of age you just revealed by dropping a name like Lancelot Link …
::snicker::
Don’t bet on it. They used to rerun that on Nickelodeon back in the day….way back in the day…well, waaaaay back in the day….okay, waaaaaaay, waaaaaaay, waaaaaaaay…
Damn it!
Congratulations on your appearance on “COPS,” Aidan!
Bad artists, bad artists, whatcha’ gonna do?
If that was the case, I would totally get my head slammed against the hood of a squad car.
Now that Scap is suspecting Bone as the mastermind, I’m genuinely starting to think he’s wrong (shocking, I know). But to avoid potentially spoiling it I’ve ROT13’d my suspect: Qbpgbe Wrenhxbi.
Damn your fiendish mind, Qbpgbe! 😉
Ohhh, Dadaman language, eh? But why would Dadaman be behind–oh, wait, ROT13. Let me get out the ol’ flashcards…hmmm…hey, she’s also a prime suspect!
Well, when you get right down to it, why does Dadaman do anything? 😉
Scap, dude… You’re dating a goth girl – Even if she isn’t the mastermind behind your public undoing, she’s still gonna disappear now and then.
One theory is we’re part pidgeon – I prefer part housecat, always vanishing but eventually turning up asleep in your laundry basket when the weather outside is colder.
Goth girls are certainly much more sanitary than pigeons, although they both like to ‘spread crap around’, so to speak!
The housecat analogy is probably more flattering (as long as it’s a black cat, of course). Mysterious, private, lithe and deadly…then mewling all hours of the night and dragging home dead things!
Over in here England many people refer to young goths as “pigeon-like” due to their propensity for gathering in town centres and sitting on statues .
The metaphor extends to cover the impact in their numbers and subsequent migration due to more aggressive species arriving in their territory, such as the noisy Chav-inch.
Wow! I never knew that. Man, I’ve got to hightail it out of the States and hit Jolly Ol’ England sometime, if for no other reason that to show off my ‘John Cleese Silly Walk’.
Cleese, incidentally, lives here in California and has refused all requests to do the Silly Walk for decades now.
The last reported silly walk sighting was on a talk show while promoting the release of A Fish Called Wanda (yes, that long ago), and Cleese would only do it if the cameras weren’t on him.
So at least Jamie Lee Curtis can say she saw him do it.
LOVE your lighting effects here, Mr. C.
AND congrats on the CAPS-ing as well! Awesome news!
‘You make a hell of a Caucasian, Jackie’
* in my best ‘Dude’ *
You got any Kahlua, man? Raise your hand if you’ve ever opened a carton of Half-and-Half in the middle of Ralph’s and stuck your nose in.
Pointless fact: I didn’t even know Ralph’s was a real supermarket chain until I moved to Los Angeles.
Congrats on getting in with CAPS… That’s an impressive roster of names!
It’s pretty overwhelming, sometimes. I still feel like the kid of the group. Here’s hoping I can grow up from a kid into a respectable man-child!
Which Witch? Hmm… maybe something like Ursula from Little Mermaid, Yes? (though I’d be part Squid)…a squid witch?) we do that hypnotic thing… and the tentacles and ink… we swim… we sing…… but I snagged a Wolf.
Bone China… she’s my gal. She’s not bad… no.
Brig would be the Little Witch in those Caspar comics; I forget her name or even what she looked like, except that she was short. That’s close enough!
What kind of person is Bone China really? Maybe she’s also a witch. Hey, next thing you know this comic is going to be loaded with witches, and THEN you can make the “which witch is which” jokes!
You mean Wendy, the one who wore the outfit that looked like a little red jumper with a hood?
Is that it? I was going to guess Wendy, but then I thought that was off. Dick Tracy has an antagonist named Wendy Wichel, a hardass reporter.
Yep, full title was “Wendy the Good Little Witch”, and went looking for a link to back it up but the google hit came up with either links to dead pages, links to pages where it would be hard to reference the pic, wikipedia page that had no pic even tho I knew it was the right one … or rule 34-type results that made me close the broswer REAL quick once I saw them. (surfing from work, hoping that one didn’t set off the surf tracker … yikes …)
Congrats m’friend!!
Thankyew, thankyew!
Now what’s old Scapula up too?
Up too, up to, or up two? I get that confused, too….uh, two?
Tu? Tuo? Tou? Tw? 2!
Now I’m just talkin’ all out my head, lawd lawd
Cheers!
Oh boy, I had a lot to catch up on Scapula! And a huge congrats on CAPS!!
Better catch up soon! Finals are this week, and summer vacation is about to begin!
rushing headfirst into revenge is bound to get said head hurt….alot
Confucius say: foolish man who jump off cliff has bad landing and look like friggin’ jackass.
Sound advice.
CAPSula, the “black capsule” guaranteed to end your depression*
*possible, no, LIKELY side effects: death, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
Don’t take the black pill! Your reality might become the world of the SCAPULA comic…a fate worse than death!
Also, don’t take the black jellybeans. They taste like poo.
The black jelly beans are licorice flavored–good stuff. It’s the WHITE jelly beans that taste like fu shampoo!
I was offered to join a group called CAPS once but I told my dentist I liked my teeth the way they are.
Scap looks so fearsome with just a TV glow casting on him.
Ohhh, a wiseguy eh? A joke like that is just bad enough to actually get you into CAPS!
A little lighting effect goes a long way in setting up a mood. I doubt he would look as fearsome with a sexy red light in the room (but maybe still disturbing).
I’m going to congradulate you, hun, and leave it at that. The comic is nice buildup, and the acceptance into CAPS is surely deserved.
You can’t hear me, but I’m clapping for you!
Awww, thankyew, thankyew! I owe it all to readers like you, who give the impression that my rotten comic is really popular!
Now maybe next Tuesday I’ll win an Eisner, but I’m probably not going to hold my breath just yet…
Paranoia will destroy ya! For better or worse, you’re green-eyed deep in it now, Scap!
Congrats on CAPS, Aidan!
Thank ya, Mark! Paranoia is a hideous spectre that sits on your head and rubs its butt in your eyelashes (if you don’t mind my mixing metaphors)…but you never know when the butt-rubber is RIGHT!
So is scapula a looser, when it comes to vengeance skills ?
Regarding the caps thing, I’m not sure how it is important ; is that a VIP circle for comic artists? And at the end would you have more money in your wallet ?
It never hurts to know the pros!
