As a D and D player in my youth, allow me to share an experience everyone who plays the game has eventually had: this is what happens when you roll for a bluff check and get a 1.
Now the Miscreants are a pretty tough crowd…… well okay, Homophobe and Wooly Rhino are pretty tough, and in close quarters El Disgusto isn’t someone you wanna be around. But then again, Jemini is a nasty piece of work and I’m betting she’s packing heat, maybe a couple pistols even, and she always seems to have a knife handy. Tough call, but if I were a better I’d have to go with the Miscreants unless she can keep them at arm’s length……
……… and good God look at the arms on Wolly Rhino! He must have a good few inches on Sharkmouth!
I had to ask my nerdy but lovable girlfriend to explain the ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ terminology to me (even the ‘D&D’ part threw me for a loop…I almost thought it was ‘Daredevil’, which goes to show I’m more of a comic book nerd than a fantasy nerd). But thanks to her explanation, I think I get what you’re saying.
This is going to be a close call, but if those of you who love to bet on the comics care to wager who will come out on top of this debacle, place those bets now!
…and Wooly Rhinoceros is indeed a very big dude. Slightly larger than Sharkmouth and Throgor, but just a tad smaller than Knuckle Sam (she’s got more, er, ‘larger masses’ to add to her overall size).
Lady Jenn: Forcing Comic Geeks to Breathe since 2013!
I was fortunate enough to have lots of money half the time in my youth (the half living with mom in NY), so I got to be all sorts of nerd hehehehehehehehe. The other half of the time I was living in the sticks where hydro’s a daydream and throwing a knife with skill is considered more essential than reading and writing. Hm, does that make me a Geekbilly? Cave-Nerd? Neandorkithal? Maybe a plaid-neck!
Hm. Still putting Knuckles Sam on top in estimation, and I think Sharkmouth would be a strong (ba-dum-tish!) contender for second place in the ‘not someone I wanna fight up close’ rankings, followed by Seal Sakuro and Wooly Rhino scrapping for third. That said, of those four, I’d have the hardest time fighting Seal. I would give myself even odds against the rest.
That said, I bet on the Miscreants if no guns get involved because Wooly Rhino is backed by Homophobe (who is a pretty vicious little rat) and the disturbing distraction that is El Disgusto.
Jemini is apparently stupid or careless enough to get on a plane with complete strangers (especially when original Jemini didn’t say anything about Rico stepping out). Does she AT LEAST keep a gun on her? Is the suitcase she has a bomb to blow up the next wave of would-be assassins?
We’ve learned that Jemini is pretty dismissive, even disrespectful, to her hired help. But she didn’t get to the top of her gang by being a sap, that’s for sure.
What do you think, folks? Will she learn a valuable lesson at the end of this charming tale, or will she be dead as a rock?
Well, Scap has been able to bungle his way from one job to the next, never really harming anyone while failing spectacularly. Jemini, on the other hand, is playing in the adult world with the gloves off, where people die a lot. However, I think the miscreants are more in Scap’s world than Jemini’s, so she MAY be okay. After all, she’s in a tiny tin can thousands of feet in the air. Killing her would be EASY. Failing to do so…. now THERE’S a story…
I must have killed at least one single non-clone female (as opposed to a non-clone female in a relationship) at some point over the course of this series…I just forget at the moment when and where. Any true fans out there want to answer that one?
El Disgusto, as his pseudo-Spanish name might imply, is of Hispanic origin.
See: anything related to Dadaman’s rampages, the Sinister Monster Doom Legion massacring dozens, then hundreds, plenty of indications of dead women in Babirus’ family cave…….
Very true. We have also yet to learn the fate of Mona Naware (or Auntie September), for those looking for actual female cast members who have bit the dust. We’ll just Mona in the “maybe” category for now and continue with our current story!
Is it just me, or does El Disgusto look rather quite different from his previous appearance than the other two? I mean, sure he has that beard instead of just some patchy hairs, but I think he also had a nose job. And a chin job? I guess maybe the hair is also throwing me off.
Several characters were tweaked sightly when I began the new style, but El Disgusto was given a fairly heavy make-over (and yet he’s STILL filthy). His original look sort of veered towards hip-hop or 90’s grunge, while his new longer hair and somewhat Satanic facial hair (?!) now leans him more towards rock fashion. I figured this would make him fit in better with the other Miscreants.
Not that I’m an expert on fashions in the music industry, but hey, I doubt the Miscreants are experts, either!
It’s even better when you’re not even up to anything. Just looking like an insidious schemer will make random people keep their distance from you, which is always handy when taking the bus.

As for battling Dadaman, well…that just leads to sheer horror (if you’re crazy enough to fight him in the first place).
Not I says I.
This Jem might have been cloned last night, but she wasn’t born yesterday.
D’ohhhh! Wonk wonk!
(She was actually duplicated last December, but I didn’t want to ruin your joke)

Agreed, besides, hell will freeze over completely before Mistah Casserly kills a single (non-clone) female in his comics.
Also, Isn’t El Disgusto just a white guy with a tan?

Mysterious giggling and palm-rubbing has always been my undoing. I need to put the brakes on my smirking until after my nefarious deeds are done.
