SCIENCE FICTION DOUBLES FEATURE pt.17
Some news updates: tomorrow is Halloween (play safe, eat lotsa’ candy) and Wednesday is the 3rd-Year Anniversary of the Scapula webcomic. Celebrate it as you see fit: drink, party, spread love, whatever floats your boat (just don’t blame my comic if the cops catch you making a ruckus).
Next weekend is Comikaze, so if you’re in Los Angeles don’t forget to stop by and visit Jim Smith and my happy self. I will be doing caricatures and selling prints, books and the newest SCAPULA collection, SINISTER MONSTER DOOM LEGION (for those of you who can’t make it but want a copy it will be available for sale on-line after Comikaze. Stay tuned!).
Busy, busy week! Thank you everyone for following along and making my life much more interesting!
how to get rid of alot of unwanted dupes the lazymans way*subscribe now only 59,99 a day!*
wonder what scares scap more the huge group of people trying to turn him inside out and outside in again, or the fact that he might get blown up
I love the look of the Miras in the background in the panel after Scapula rushes through.
And, of course, Scapula’s look as he realizes something is NOT going right.
BOOOOM!
Scapula’s got a whole bunch of tailers to lose. With all the butt-hauling he does, I’m sure he must have lost a few pounds this time around. I wonder who set all those explosives – it obviously wasn’t Jem, Inverto, Sam or Mira.
Hmm, somehow I see the next strip being a big mess, but as always, great artwork. It’s like you can literally copy from your mind’s eye.
As a wise king once said “Run away! run away, run away!!!”
3 years. Woo hoo. I am going to wear a costume and drink in honor of Scap…or maybe it was Halloween. shhh don’t type so loud…my head.
Ah, the healing power of mutual hatred towards Scapula!
Mind you, I agree with him. “What a lousy day, time to get a few bucks and a bottle or two and just say fehgeduboudit.”
Yay! Is there going to be a big explosion?
This is gonna be a blast!
Of course Scapula would find a bomb and run away. xD Congrads on making it three years.
Celebrating Halloween was fun last night, hope you have fun celebrating as well.
Man, I can just feel the tension building in this one. I found myself holding my breath as I was reading! Can’t wait until next week, A.
So who put the bomb, and why ?
I really need to get up earlier on Sunday mornings. Let’s get down to those wonderful, wonderful comments:
@BarbaricBob Lazy, am I?! Ooh, I’ll show you…just as soon as I get up out of my recliners and put on my shoes and get my car keys and walk across the room to…to…aw, the hell with it.
@Kinare You’ve got to admit, this is probably the most easily distracted crowd in history. They go from attacking each other for no real reason to stopping and staring at some random meathead (er, bonehead) rushing by. Wait until one of them notices that quarter on the floor!
@Treike ‘Copying from my mind’s eye’…I like that, rather poetic. I almost interpreted that as, more or less, drawing what I’m seeing, which either means I’m going nuts or all of these Mira Miras fighting is really happening in front of me. Perhaps I’ve been too desensitized to violence to really notice anymore!
@Tigerkaya A wise king, indeed. He knew more about swallows than all men in the land (too bad he never noticed the police on his trail…).
@Bearman Remember, this comic nor the goofus who created it will not be held responsible for inebriated readers who commit misdemeanors. You have been warned. All of ya!
@LadyJen Maybe the world would be at peace if we all hated Scapula just a little bit more? Hey, that would be a catchy T-shirt slogan!
@ToCoWu the First You betcha! Having lots of bombs with no explosion would be like Halloween without the candy…and we aren’t going to let that happen, are we?
@ToCoWu the Second Yes, indeedy.
@Encoyroaba Thanks, man!…waitaminnit, Halloween was last night? What’s going on here?! Blast these tricky timezones!
Hey, maybe you can see into the future! Will I make it another three years?
@George Breathe, George, breathe! I don’t want to be held responsible for any lung damage or heart failure!
@mehdi Well, isn’t that the million dollar question?…see ya next Sunday!
3 years already, I feel like you just got here. Congrats on your longevity, I’ve always said, if you can last three years, you’ll make it kid!
I have a feeling next weeks comic is going to -bomb- big time! [smirk] o.O
Bug-eyed Scapula is strangely adorable.
Wow, cheers to your third year! Congratulations and hope to see more years down the road!
well maybe not azy but efficient
can you immagine wht the funeral costs would be for 500 mira’s?
It’s like “It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World” with supervillains and a bomb!
@jynksie Hey, man, I’ve been bombing for three years straight, and they still haven’t pulled me off the internet!
A big thanks to all of my fellow webcartoonists who have supported me with those comments and directed traffic to my site. You are all da bomb.
Here’s hoping I last three more years, and then some!
@Reikenbach Awww, glad someone thinks so! He certainly doesn’t get those kind of compliments from the ladies he meets.
@Jenn Thank ya, m’lady! Here’s hoping all of us live happily ever after in WebComic Kingdom, whatever that is.
@BarbaricBob They would just buy one really big coffin and dump them all in there. Or incinerate them and have a very long ‘spreading ashes in the sea’ ceremony
@JerryBenedict Now if only I had included Jonathan Winters tearing down a gas-station this would have been REALLY funny!
Now THAT’s what I call a cliff-hanger!
Ha! It’s (nearly) another Halloween Massacre! Run Away! (cracks me up!)
AND… a super congrats on YEAR THREE, my friend! Here’s to another 3 years of poop jokes, childish humor, and Mad cap/sinister fun! Huggies!
Scap’s “meep” face is too precious.
Yeah, I know Scap would break down and cry at being called “precious.” Supervillains should never be described as precious. Except for maybe Seal Sakuro. But then, he’s smart enough to use “precious” as a ploy.
Anyway, I’m rambling. *steals Knuckle Sam away for dinner and a beer*
@Jande …bomb-hanger, maybe?
@SquidRowMommy Three more years of poo jokes? Wow, imagine if a presidential candidate used that promise (the fourth year would be spent apologizing).
Hope everyone out there had a wonderful Halloween massacre of their own!
@Longtail Seal’s parent were horrified at how precious their puppy-eyed son was, so they mercilessly trained him to become the deadliest assassin in the Pacific. So now you know: precious is vicious!
…hey, where the hell did Knuckle Sam go?
Great strip this time out. Way to pull all the characters together. I really love the looks of surprise in panels 4 and 8!
It was so nice that those explosives were so clearly labeled. Scap’s survival instincts kickin’ in have for once made him the leader of the pack! Go Scap! I have to commend you on blending slapstick and nail-biting suspense so seamlessly – great job!
@macsnafu Thank you kindly! I should have thrown in a few more surprises; maybe monkeys flying into the camera…
@MarkStokes Explosives just don’t quite have the same impact when they’re hidden inside Costco boxes, do they?
Glad you’re also enjoying the madness. It takes a certain, collected state of mind to draw a page of friggin’ idiocy!
Loved the countdown at the end. And big congrats on the 3 year anniversary, keep rockin’
“The hardest thing for an intelligent man to do is act like an idiot for any length of time.”
Quote from Trevie.
I actually have been wondering, how on earth did Jemini (the actual one) expect to take over from her clone? I suspect the clone might be a little miffed that real Jemini just decides to hide out and waltz in when the fires go out!
Guess that’s why I’m not a criminal mastermind. Not enough ego!
(And I can’t run fast enough either….)
wonder who will survive….
i hope our japanese seal man friend made it out with his stealthyness
and what about the security gaurd O_O my god so manny people will die….
well 3/9 people but my god so manny dupes
@Roland Thanks man! Counting down to the big 3-year explosion!
@LadyJenn A good question, indeed: my rationale is that Jemini, of all people, is used to dealing with an identical copy of herself….hey, she carries one on her shoulders! But it is also likely that a double-crosser like her might get tired of her duplicate. It’s a dangerous business.
The intelligent man quote…who does that refer to? Scapula? Inverto? Knuckle Sam?
@BarbaricBob Seal Sakuro seems to have a knack for survival; after all, we all thought he was dead the last time he appeared (well, I considered him dead, and I made up the damned character!).
Oh shit!
Love panel 7. Also great line “Did they forget they were going to kick the crap out of me.”
@jwbalsley Language, young man!
@FrankMHansen Glad you liked! If there’s one thing we’re not short of around here, it’s drawings of Scapula running away.
I think that the quote was about YOU, hun!
Ha Ha Love the look you captured on Scap’s face in panel 4. I have a feeling the mext episode’s really gunna go off
@TonyMcGurk I predict your prediction will be right, sir!
