Hey Ladies! It’s time for Scap to find himself a new ‘special someone’…but how much luck will this icky creep have? Let’s all hit the bar and watch for ourselves (and better make that a strong drink)!
First time seeing Scapula without his mask/face paint (I sincerely thought it was a mask, why with attaching the horns and such, unless they grow naturally in his country?).
Well, except for that childhood flashback, but what happenned to make him look that BAD?! Whatever did his dad do with that belt?!
The face putty IS the mask! Scapula had his actual face removed years ago and replaced with the hard plastic shell we’ve seen in the series (don’t worry if you don’t remember this, it was never actually shown and I have yet to do a flashback story detailing the surgery).
As for the how’s and why’s he had his face lifted (ugh, PUN!), we’ll see that story someday. For here and now it’s clubbin’ time!
PLEASE tell us you thought about that occuring BEFORE the Joker had his removed. It was an awful idea on DC’s part because it made no damn sense, and I’d be highly disappointed if it turned out to have somehow been an “inspiration” to you.
Scapula having his face removed was mentioned as early as 2007 (in the debut zine, which you can read in SCAPULA Volume 1: Losers Never Quit…buy it! NOW!).
I haven’t read anything from the “New 52” the moment I heard they redesigned Amanda Waller to look like Rosario Dawson (mind you, I have nothing against Rosario Dawson, but she sure isn’t who I would cast as ‘The Wall’!).
Is it bad of me that I see a couple ladies in that pic that I wouldn’t mind seeing a more detailed drawing of? 😀 Especially seeing as how likely it is that Aidan doesn’t even have a name for them other than “background character #U812” …
Yup, I just hate it when I forget something on my shopping list, especially after a night of screaming, running, and generally getting the crap kicked out of me.
You never realize what’s missing until you come home and you’re either too tired to go back out again or that every shop will be closed at the late hour.
I mean, maybe he could have gone and burglarized some cosmetics/special effects place, but that means making an extra trip!
He wouldn’t have gotten far with a polo shirt and khakis at this kind of joint, but dressing like Jack the Ripper probably wont win him many points either!
Yes, that is a shirtless dude doing ballet, and even more strangely, he’s based on a real person.
The goth club that I used to go to with my friends had a lot of odd people who you’d see there every single time, but none were odder than this guy. He looked like he was in his late 30’s/early 40’s, never wore a shirt, and apparently never came with or talked to anyone. He just showed up on the dance floor, twirled about to the music, then left.
Who knows? I guess if he paid his cover charge he has ever right to come in and twirl.
That’s some pretty backwards logic.
If that’s what he does after being told to respect females, I shudder to think of the consequences of him attending a meeting in which he is repeatedly reminded to NEVER EVER EVER EVER, under ANY circumstances, bring a truck of chainsaws to the Colicky Baby Convention.
Good thing he doesn’t have the time or patience to attend meetings like that.
I think Scap has only one thing on his mind right now, and he isn’t going to let a little thing like logic get in his way (not that he ever has). But at least he’s leaving the truck of chainsaws behind tonight!
Hey, after being told for days not to drink the first thing I tend to do is get drunk outta my skull. Don’t even bother telling me not to fight with people….. that never happens! Still, post-explosion I would probably just lie down with a bottle of high octane still-swill and some kaiju flicks.
If that doesn’t solve EVERY problem, then I’m fresh out of ideas!
I don’t know how many kaiju films promote drinking (possibly King Kong vs Godzilla, which has the Kongster getting wasted on narcotic berries), but they sure as hell promote fighting! Whether it’s the viciousness of Gigan slashing open Godzilla or the idiocy of Minya flipping Gabara with a log, kaiju eiga are all about fighting, fighting, and fighting!
Somedays you need something fast, hard, and with a kick like a city-smashing monster. For that I’d suggest Godzilla: Final Wars and combining all of the leftover liquor you have in the house.
Haha, I meant there are plenty gals I would merrily set up on a blind (possibly necessary both sides) date with Scap.
A vegan I used to live with, who rearranged the fridge according by color, for example
Aww, that’s sweet. One of these days I might have to do a ‘reader write-in’ comic where people can suggest blind dates/hook-ups for the various cast members of SCAPULA.
I’m curious to see what lovely lass Scap is gonna pull while attending this function. I still like his ex, though. I’m hoping she wasn’t as devious as he was led to believe.
There will be time enough to rue the past another time; for here and now it’s about meeting someone new! Let’s just hope it goes better for ol’ Scap this time.

At this point, Wolfie, I kind of expect that kind of reaction from you!
Every woman in that panel is named “Jane Doe”, in what most be the most amazing coincidence of the week.
I cannot lie, I do enjoy my cheesecake. 😀
No comment on that id#, eh? I suppose I could have made it more obvious and left the OIC at the front of it …

But enough about work…

And how far does he think he’ll get with that lack of fashion sense? Anyways, best of delusions to Scappy Boy and hope he doesn’t crash too hard!

Is that guy on the far right on the last panel doing ballet.
Pretty impressive in a crowded club.

Still-swill I’m not too familiar with.
The stuff from a home-run still that isn’t good enough to feed to people you like……. or is too good, depending how you prefer it! Hehehehehehehehe.
Current personal favorite: Destroy All Monsters and a jug of ’94 corn hooch.

You might not survive, but what a way to go!
Hm, sounds like what I remember of thursday.
Hmm… I wonder what Scap’s equivilent of a smooth pick up line is? I guess we’ll find out!
We will indeed! Let’s just hope it’s a lot smoother than his planning skills…
Is he taking applications? Because I know a few ladies who’re very deserving-
I mean…
Okay… I mean people I really dislike.
Hmm? Applications? Like, to join the Sinister Monster Doom Legion?
Heck, they could use a female member; their clubhouse is a total sausage-fest (although I don’t think Hypnausea minds)!

Ha! that would be adorable. I feel like to “fan art” by photoshopping up some horrendously awkward dating site profiles for ’em…
At the moment I’ve lost the use of my drawing arm, but I’ll stick it on my “things to do to avoid doing any actual work” list.
Looking forward to it! Let that warped imagination run loose!

Hypnausea is the best nurse ever. <3
Any nurse who prescribes beer is fine by me!
Now let’s just hope he doesn’t go “Florence Nightingale” on them…
But where is his wing man
Disco infernal! Nice job on the art and color, Aidan!
