I feel bad for Scapula, I actually accidentally dated a girl like this without actually knowing it. She kept me around for like a week and then dumped me and did that to every guy she met, she still does it and I dated her almost 4 years ago.
Ouch. Still, look on the bright side: more than a few people have stumbled into marriages without even knowing what they were doing. There’s plenty of amusing stories on that topic (well, amusing unless if you’re the unwilling bride/groom involved)…
Moonie’s method in choosing/discarding lovers will appeal to some and offend others, but hey, I’ve always said the SCAPULA characters are here to be loved or hated. We should have enough of either by the time Moonie has said her piece.
As for Scapula, he seems the type who is ALWAYS looking for a reason to get angry (and when you’re in that state of mind, you quickly find what you’re looking for).
For what it’s worth, I’m much more likely to cave in a guy’s face for this crap than a girl’s. After all, common stereotypes might mean a girl seems like a slut for this, but guys are supposed to be able to take a punch. Not many can, honestly.
This makes me love your universe even more — Johnny wasn’t assassinated, he just decided he wanted to live a normal life of dating crazy hippy pot-head witches who fart goat cheese and divine light. <3
Which compared to being in the Beatles could definitely be considered a normal activity.
It warms the cockles of my heart to see that Hippiedom is alive and well and still promiscuous. Then again, who wants warm cockles when there’s hippie nookie.
Hippiedom is still alive and thriving. Hey, as long as unemployment is on the rise there will always be those willing to live a simpler, somewhat-smellier lifestyle!
Ouuuchh…. Poor Scapula. 🙁 See, I was expecting her to explain that she was polyamorous or something, not… “I have a new boy every week because I dump the old ones.” These days it really seems like whenever you meet a potential partner, you’ve got to ask them what their, erm… choices are for this sort of thing. I for one don’t like anyone to just expect that my lifestyle is the same as theirs, no matter what it is, I’d rather have the clarification.
Love and dating is so tricky like that, because so often we assume the ones we get along with are perfectly compatible…and then the differences seem to hit that much harder (and I’m not talking about ‘toilet seat up or down’ issues). This seems like a pretty clear-cut case of misunderstanding (maybe…we’ll find out more tomorrow), but that doesn’t make it any more easy to deal with.
Maybe Scap should pursue the same policy as my Pocket Philosopher: “Dating? Ah yes, that thing other people do that leads to sex, headaches, arguements and lots of wasted money, no thanks.” (Actual quote)
Whoa. Damn, Scap! I haven’t been treated this carelessly since 5th grade. And I wasn’t even a sociopath then. I can’t imagine what he’s gonna do now. I think Moonie mooned the wrong guy this time.
Sure Scap is a colorful and interesting character, but the star of this strip is really that sad, sad man staring into his drink in panel one. What is his story? Why is he so sad? Is he drinking alone or being consoled by someone off-screen? That’s the real story.
Is he looking into his drink, or at the frowning woman at the next table. What’s her story? Isn’t she Toxsick’s ex-wife? Does she have anything to do with Scap’s current predicament? Will Baldy Sad Man work up the nerve to speak to this woman?
None of this matters to the current story at hand, but what the heck. It still could be interesting!
weelll…atleast edgard has some more time to think about his awesome heist sothat his…friends?..is that the right word? won’t kill him for skipping his homework

I would say I’m surprised but I’m not. It explains a lot about her lack of pickiness. I have throttled women for this behavior. No lasting harm.
Hm, maybe Scapula will use this to springboard some visciousness back into his game…….

Amen. I never run out of reasons to visit violence upon my fellow human beings! Too few hours in the day, I say.
Why shouldn’t woman do as man do?
No one would call a guy, who discards his dates that way, a slut.
No, they would call him an asshole! Bad behavior is bad behavior, regardless of who is doing it.
Thats true. But sadly not for everyone.

I was JUST waiting for someone to talk like this, it’s rediclous. Men are constantly looked down for this kind of behavior.
I wish people would start looking past genders. I have never cheated on a woman, although I have dumped them because a better interest came by.
Johnny have a brother named Shaggy??
Naw, but this Johnny might have known a Paul or a Ringo.

Yoko may be lovable to some, but sometimes you just need a break from that sort of thing every now and again. That’s where Moonie Toons comes in!

Cockles and mussels alive, alive…and, uh, warm?

Sex, headaches, arguments, and lots of wasted money…sort of sounds like the government!
Thank you, thank you, g’night everyone!

Your turn now, Edgar.
I think Moonie’s been mooning more than a few guys! But now it’s someone else’s turn to gag on rancid fartbombs.
Now it’s Edgar’s turn to…get revenge? Break down and cry? Swoon her off her feet and away from the other schmuck? We’ll find out tomorrow.
And people wonder why villains have a hard time redeeming themselves…
Imagine how much different Dr. Doom would be if he could only hook up with the right kind of gal!

We’ll so if Edgar gets his mind back in the game in time to pull that big score. Right now it looks like he has other things on his mind!
Hey! I know that guy! Scap could take ‘im.
Brig could take him! She’s scrappy like that.
