Hypnausea, like some sex fiends, mainly uses his dirty passions as a means to gain control over others instead of merely seeking pleasure. Needless to say it has its uses, especially in the criminal underworld.

Why is it that in this world, which seems to be populated exclusively with villains who are disgusting (The Dugong), cannibals (Thorgor), or completely insane (the sewer guys who wear other people’s skins)…
…a world where the heroes are drunk jerks (Inspector Farley) or crazy extremists (Dr. Jeraukov), and the creepiest part is that the extremists might be right…
…a world where even the weakest villain can cause massive damage (Bombastar) and the strongest is a complete nutcase (Dadaman)…
…well, anyway, why is it that Hypnausea consistently manages to be the one who creeps me out the most?
Very nice summary, Psyducks! If nothing else you can say this comic is filled with nothing but wackos, but at least it’s a variety pack of wackos. “Life is like a box of criminally insane chocolates…”
Now I’m just surprised at which characters didn’t make that list. The super-flatulent hippie and the perverted sock-puppet probably seem tame by comparison!
Let us remember this is San Francisco we are talking about! (The city, not the Saint, mind you.)
Moonie creeped me out a lot, at least Hypnausea seemed to add wittisism to his insanity.
Moonie was creepy? I can buy ‘weird’, but ‘creepy’ is an interesting reaction to have about her. If anything she may have been the most harmless character in the series…well, unless if you have a sensitive nose.
FART!
Have you seen real life lately?
I read Scap because I actually consider it a more realistic and insightful depiction of the personalities and mindsets of villains and evil than most other media out there…which is a little scary, to be honest with you, considering that this is a comic about an insane, Satanic loner supervillain who needs a sock puppet on his hand to unlock the psychic barriers on his personality and genius-level intelligence. :>
I’ll take that as a compliment! I may not make the most powerful supervillains (an honor belonging to maybe Dr. Doom, Tetsuo Shima, or the Cavity Creeps), but I do try to make them human.
Incidentally, Scapula isn’t a Satanist, but he sure does attract a lot of them (maybe it’s them horns).
I thought he just used his dirty passions to irritate Scapula, but I like your theory better.
Hypnausea probably does get a kick out of how many people are repulsed or annoyed by his antics (and the constant retelling of said antics). He’s such a delightful prick.
What about the tira misu???
Yeah, man, we’ll they eat it now or later? So many questions!!!!
No one will ever know. I’ve chosen to keep it a mystery just to annoy you loonies.
Among the many things I find hilarious about this strip is that Scap and Hypnausea seem to make far better life partners than any of the women Scap chases.
That goes into the next story line haha
Stranger things have happened as far as supervillain romances go; look at what Grant Morrison did to the Doom Patrol‘s villains The Brain and Monsieur Mallah (a talking gorilla). That relationship would make a Scapula/Hypnausea marriage seem wholesome by comparison!
The fun part is, before I found out violence yielded much faster (though usually short term) result, I was well on my way to being a very buff female Hypnausea without quite so many drugs. I totally understand how easy it is for the guy to get his way. Sex is a powerful but sometimes dangerous weapon……. it gets results, but it’s very easy to fall victim to your own habits simply because it’s fun, and then you start getting into dangerous territory and dealing with REALLY crazy people.
Hm, sex and violence really ARE two sides of the same coin. I just described my entire life.
A very buff female Hypnausea would be an awesome (or terrifying) sight. Perhaps a character in a Bizarro-type of parallel universe?
Hm…… purple tie-dye…… never tried that! Don’t know how it’d look on me,
I like Hyp a lot! He’s always happy and pleased, even in the midst of chaos. However, I’ve always said that it’s best to keep an eye on those happy-go-lucky folks who seem like their feathers never get too ruffled.
