The creepy members of the Sinister Monster Doom Legion (go to the NEW READER section if you’re not familiar with ’em) may not be the most pleasant of friends, but they share a number of mutual interests…namely booze, women, and being contemptible bastards.
Looks like Hypnausea is off to run an errand, even if Scapula hasn’t given him the whole side of the story. But hey, would YOU trust Hypnausea?
Trust him? No. Do very sleazy things with him? Yes.
Anyway, Scap’s doing the smart thing. Can’t very well walk up to this bunch and say, “Hey guys, I need you to help me rescue my ex.”
And lastly…I wonder if Throgor and Babirus ever exchange recipes for cooking human flesh.
Egad! I know Hypnausea has his share of fans (possibly even more than the main character), but would most of you actually…y’know, DO things with that guy?
Aw, what the hey; in hypothetical world I guess everything is harmless. Gowan and fantasize away (just don’t send me any more disturbing fan art, kiddies)!
What? I was hoping he’d be my wingman in getting a date since Scap shot my Sammy!
Don’t be ridiculous. Throgor doesn’t cook ’em..
Well there are lot of recipes that involve raw foods! Human tartare, Baby sushi and sashimi, MILF Meringue…Or perhaps they just talk about what kind of beer goes best with what cuts.
“Long-pig” can be pretty tasty.
Um…not that I would know.
Absolutely loving the shading on this one. It’s subtle but looks amazing!
Also, girl chili plus the “I Eat Cannibal” song. Just the weirdness I needed to start my day.
Glad you enjoyed! For those of you who aren’t familiar with the song or have seen the mildly disturbing video (‘disturbing’ as in it recalls popular trends and styles that may seem baffling now), look it up and gasp away.
Quite the “ice cream cone” Throg’s got there.
It’s a severed leg! Actually, it sort of reminds me of an incident on Monty Python’s Flying Circus, where a character holding a severed leg caused a censor to complain, because the leg was mistaken for a ‘giant penis’.
That said, Throgor is not holding a giant penis.
There’s someone with a sound sense of profit.
Here’s hoping the bartender is making good tips!
Ah, my home environment……. tacky strip clubs full of creepy violent spaz cases, weirdos, shaking booty and egomaniacs. You’d be amazed how much you come to miss those places once you’ve gotten used to them! Heck I know a few of them even a guy like Throgor might hesitate to start a brawl in.
Good to see Tox knows the ins and outs of stripper commerce. I especially like the ‘That also costs extra’ line! Hehehehehehe. So I assume Throggie decided to bring lunch in? Can’t see him paying extra for cold dinner!
Also: Why yes, I would certainly trust Hypnausea. Not to do anything I wanted him to, but certainly to be a slimeball and stick me in the back. However, at the time being, throwing a giant ball of cash at him means you have his loyalty MOST LIKELY. Besides, who else you gonna send to dig up a cult? Tigadactyl?!
I think I may have missed out on a great epilogue to today’s comic: supervillains versus bouncers!
Scapula needs to be careful in selecting who performs what tasks, so we’ll see if he chose wisely. Here’s hoping the paycheck is enough to buy off a bad guy’s loyalty!
If they let a guy dressed like Tigadactyl in I assume they have enough shotguns to take this crowd out without their weapons. If not……. I wanna see that comic hun! That’d be awesome.
Love the lighting for this page. Trying to work out who said what and imagining it is pretty fun for the last panel. 😀
As for trusting Hypnausea, it’d depend how entertained I think he’d be by what I’m asking him to do, I guess. The more mundane a request, the more likely I’d imagine he’d be up for finding a way to make it less boring (for himself).
I think it was best to let readers decipher who said what (or who didn’t say anything) in the last panel. Only Scapula and Throgor have specially-colored word balloons, so the rest is up to you to see how well you know these characters!
Hypnausea probably knows all sorts of ways to turn a boring task into something fun (for him, that is…for everyone else, something they can’t ever erase from their minds). He’d be a fun coworker, if you didn’t mind filing several dozen sexual harassment complaints a day.
Scap…you’re about to make the same mistake twice.
I’m sure we remember what happened last time he tried manipulating his dastardly allies into his personal vendettas. And yet there he goes again…
Still, I suppose Scap might not have much choice in the matter unless he were to ignore it entirely. If he slipped off on his own, the SMDL would take control of his organization for themselves, and if he told them what was really going on, they’d take it as a sign of weakness. It seems his choice is either to play the poker game again and hope for a better hand, or back out of it altogether…
…and if he did that…well, this wouldn’t be an episode.
Better start lining up your contingency plans, Scap…
He’s definitely more cautious this time around, but only time will tell if he makes the same mistakes again, or just makes brand new ones. Wait and see, my friends!
As for skipping the plan and ending the episode altogether, that might be an interesting curveball for a comic writer to try (if they’re a loonie). Maybe for a Dadaman story, someday…
Oh my. Saw it on Facebook when you previewed it, looks even better colored. Any chance we can get our hands on a hi res version of panel 1? It’s going to be my new desktop wallpaper no matter what, but a hi res source would make it look so much better …
I’ll see what I can do. Perhaps I can post something to the Facebook, or make it a Patreon exclusive.
…oh, yeah, there’s a Patreon for SCAPULA on the way.
You had me at stripper with glasses.
I do believe that Hypnausea is my favorite character of yours. He delights me so.
Man, I feel like you’ve taken my eyes to the candy store! Make a print of that first panel, and it’ll be a best-seller! This page is Casserlyiscious!
