Could be Thor, but I doubt Marvel would ever approve of that team-up…waitaminnit, Thor’s a public domain character! You can’t copyright mythology, right?
Next week: Scapula meets Thor and some superheroes who are in the process of avenging someone or something.
Corn Pops, maybe? I can recall a lot of pointless commercials from the 80’s and 90’s, so maybe I know the one you’re talking about (if you are indeed referring to those decades….if we’re going back to 1950 then I may need to do some research).
How did Scapula survive the blast? He hid behind the thickest roller derby girls (not because he knew of the imminent explosion, but because he just like big ol’ asses).
That’s a roller derby girl wearing a helmet, but if you squint at it it DOES look like the decapitated noggin of Bombastar! Maybe they can keep him in a jar?
Well, we knew that would happen. Now listen to me, Dada… if you kill off Hypnausia, I will hunt you down… Yes, and I will hurt you something fierce! Don’t make THIS cartoonist come down there and…
That’s it, now I’m changing everything: Hypnausea is dead, dead, dead and all of the characters have a great big celebration just like the ending of Return of the Jedi. Hypnausea’s ghost is then digitally inserted over the old Anakin’s spirit, because the fans need to be infuriated as much as possible. Happy now?!
I’m kinda hoping that Mona survived, but her pretty face has been hideously mangled. That would make her achieve heights of angry and bitchy that are how equal to super-villainess level, and she’d wanna kill Scap and the gang even more! Because we all know she’d be just as much of a useless klutz as Scap is, so it’d be hilarious watching them both failing at each other. XD
(Since she can’t take her anger out on Bombastar anymore, she’d have to redirect it somewhere).
Then again, she might crawl out of the wreckage with an epiphany…and realize that she really has been a very unpleasant person all her life, and that she drove her dear little (big?) brother to suicide. And from then on she goes to found a suicide prevention non-profit, and becomes soft spoken and sweet.
That would be a surprise twist…but really not very funny.
Hilarity or surprise twist, hilarity or surprise twist….Hmm.
Actually, tell the truth, I’m more hoping that Crybaby survived. She’s extremely FUN.
BTW, you totally nailed Scaps very unimpressed “What the FUCK — Seriously?!” expression. I love it!
Mona as The Abominable Dr. Phibes? Hey, that would be awesome! Imagine her getting her revenge one-by-one, with murders themed after Biblical plagues, assisted by a hot mute girl and owning a clockwork orchestra band?…okay, maybe that’s TOO weird, but it’s a nice thought.
The alternative (kind, saintly Mona) might not be as unfunny as you’d imagine: suppose if she was overbearingly, sickeningly nice? That would be hilarious!
The last option is that Mona was blown into another dimension and returns as some kind of Frazetta warrior-girl. Not as funny, but my ratings might go up a tad.
Miss Jen, if he does this, I propose you and I link our art forces and humiliate the hell out of Dada with our epic abilities to render life-like cartoons.
Never piss off artists. We will make your life a LIVING HELL on paper.
Moreover, never piss off female comic artists by killing off the sexy character.
Yikes! Warning taken! I’ll just be moseying off to the witness protection program now.
Waaaaitaminnit…’Miss Jen’? There might have been crossed wires. Lady Jenn is our resident combat expert, while Squid Row Mama (or Brig) is my webcomic ‘neighbor’. Regardless, either one will clobber you if you upset them or if you kill off their favorite comic characters (which is why I’ll be living under a new identity courtesy of the government when I draw the death of Toxsick story).
Don’t call me in on this one, folks, I’m on the story teller’s side. No matter how much I would be annoyed, angered, or upset by character deaths, I wholly support the right of any comic artist to make any such decision without interferrence (beyond a few unpleasant words and tears), as long as it’s for the purposes of writing a good story. After all, if I had an ounce of talent for narrative, I’d be doing my own! I don’t so I support those that do.
Don’t worry, Dada, I got your back! And while conventional wisdom claims a pen is mightier than a sword, you will note it doesn’t say much about shotguns, handguns, submachine guns, brass knuckles….. or, as we’ve all just seen, explosives!
Well, Scapula survived being beat down by Knuckle Sam and thrown into a river and various other near fatal episodes. Maybe he is a mutant that is able to regenerate after a fashion. Doesn’t make him any smarter though.
He may have Wolverine’s healing factor, but he doesn’t have as much body hair, girls smothering him, or tons of box-office moolah. Hmm…maybe Hugh Jackman should play Scapula? He’s been in worse movies!
In my life I’ve only ever had to dig myself out of a pile of debris once, and I’m not getting into specifics about that. Advice: shimmy your body a little, get help if at all possible, cover your mouth to try and limit the dust you inhale, and try to determine what could be damaged BEFORE YOU MOVE IT. If you can’t feel something, assume it’s broken and try to make sure nothing is lying on it. Also, make sure under all circumstances you don’t destabilize the situation further in your efforts to burrow out, if possible. If the situation looks bad, get outta there before you get hurt.
GOD, I wish I could go back in time and give myself advice….. or a whallop on the head for being stupid!
I’ve heard about the dangers of needlessly moving an injured person, so all I can say is you should pray to God that someone is around to summon help. I could share a story about a family member who suffered a horrible accident and had no choice but to drag themselves up two flights of stairs to a phone to call 911 because no one could help them, but it’s really not a happy tale.
Help each other out, folks, otherwise we’re all just dead meat under debris!
Much like the gopher in Caddyshack, he survives!
If he had been farted on by Rodney Dangerfield he wouldn’t have been so lucky!
Whoa, did someone step on a duck?
Pop goes the weasel.
I’m just wondering who holds the hammer.
Could be Thor, but I doubt Marvel would ever approve of that team-up…waitaminnit, Thor’s a public domain character! You can’t copyright mythology, right?

Like a cockroach … they just didn’t stomp hard enough and … HE’S BACK!
YAY!
Also like a cockroach, Scapula loves junk food and scurrying away at the first sight of danger!
Sound effect reminds me of an old breakfast cereal mascot character I saw a lot as a kid…
Gotta wonder how Scap survived being right next to ground zero with little more than twisted horns when everyone else bit it…
Corn Pops, maybe? I can recall a lot of pointless commercials from the 80’s and 90’s, so maybe I know the one you’re talking about (if you are indeed referring to those decades….if we’re going back to 1950 then I may need to do some research).
How did Scapula survive the blast? He hid behind the thickest roller derby girls (not because he knew of the imminent explosion, but because he just like big ol’ asses).
He also has a habit of going limp when things go wrong, which allows you to soak a broad impact like an explosion or car wreck marginally better.
And they were making fun of him for limpness! HA!
Sugar Pops Pete, maybe.
Hey, I can see Bombastar in the wreckage! He is fine! 😀
I’m so happy, I won’t even bother to ask what “$·! is going on here!
That’s a roller derby girl wearing a helmet, but if you squint at it it DOES look like the decapitated noggin of Bombastar! Maybe they can keep him in a jar?

… well, have a nice day. Happy tooning.

Happy tooning, everyone!

You do that, and I swear to DOG I will have your name legally changed to Dada Lucas. 😛

*Derpy voice* Oops! My bad! Sorry to Lady Jenn and Squid Row Mama!
No worries; I sort of suspect that they’re the same person at times (or at least separate personalities inside the same crazy skull).
You’re forgiven. By me at least…… but of the pair I might be the sane one! Watch your back!

I love that “I’m still alive” expression
He may not be too happy right now, but at least he isn’t buried under tons of debris. Maybe some day he’ll be grateful for that!
That’s the look of a man who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Universe is not done kicking the stuffing out of him.
“Life will go on as it has always gone on—that is, badly.” -Animal Farm
He always was hard headed
Comes in handy in this profession, that’s for sure.
He rises from the ashes!
He also rises from the asses of all the derby girls around him. Scap is a creature of opportunity!

I think I’d need some Chablis after making it thru all that debris.
I’d need a really, really, REALLY strong drink and some time to forget about all the pain!
Rubble rouser.
Rubble Rubble!…maybe the Hamburglar could join Scap’s crew.
