Hypnausea has proven useful as a comic foil to Scapula (and also as a red herring); if there’s anything more to him than that, I’ll let you all decide for yourselves. Some things are meant for the readers to interpretĀ on their own.
As for Dr. Caliban, he just wants to be a jerk and build killer toys. Can any of you diehard monster fans identify this kaiju?
Angirus, I believe.
Anguirus or Angilas or Angirasu or whatever the hell translation you want to use. Either way it’s the Spiny Norman-dinosaur.
DINSDALE?
Dinsdale was a gentleman…what’s more, he knew how to treat a female impersonator.
Obviously its triceratron
Triceraton, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
I cant really speak to the monster but Hypnausea, of the supporting cast always seems to have been written with more depth.If there was such a thing he would get my vote for a spinoff character.
A Hypnausea series could be interesting, even if there aren’t currently any plans for me doing one. Truth be told he’s one of the few characters of mine who I would actually rather enjoy having another writer/artist try their hands at in a solo story (I’d say go ahead and do some fan-fiction, everyone, but that’s just asking for porn…really, really, really disturbing porn).
Hmm, you could look up info on Iggy Pop, Andy Warhol, and any of the other of the wilder characters of the early 70’s, and roll them together to get a petty good Hypnausea “early days” story. Right now Hypnausea porn would read too much like a Bill Cosby anecdote.
Agnostic… agreed. Hypnausia is deserving, I feel.
Anjou, I see a deep fondness for Scap by our Hypnausea. Complicated relationships are interesting, aren’t they?
Anjou? Whodat? Izzit mee anjou?
Complicated relationships are usually best when they’re over (as I can finally laugh at a number of mine from years ago that, ultimately, were better off done with). Hindsight and all that.
Offing word correct… SEE! I said EFFING! Sigh… and too seems to have been changed to Anjou… effigy (I mean EFFITY) ef ef.
Hypnausea has always been a good counter to Scap, since they’re both brains-first cowards who have to watch their hydes. I’d still vote Toxsick as his best friend by length of time (He was putting up with Scap when nobody else would!), but by Memento Mori Hypnausea has certainly been more involved with him. it’s good to see a relationship grow, even if it’s a bent one!
As for Dr. Caliban, hey…… if I could build mechanical monsters, I would, and I’d probably be a jerk about it! It’s not like just anyone can get a fully functional Angurius robot built! Still makes him a jerk though.
Scap’s best friend is up for debate. His closest ally was originally Throgor (as those of you who have read the very first Scapula zine will remember), although those two seem to have gradually grown apart. Toxsick tolerates Scapula, but only so far (let’s not forget that both he and Throgor came pretty close to killing the ol’ bonehead). Hypnausea, well…that all depends on who wants what and who they can get it from.
Got your own opinions on Scap’s BFF? Post ’em here in the comments, my friends (yes, my readers are my bestest westest buddies forevs)!
I’m not sure I’m comfortable with how Barbarus is eyeballing that pincer assembly.
Looks like he’s got himself a new butt-scratcher! He needs the heavy-duty steel kind, since most everything else melts after touching his ass.
