These two have done a good job staying out of the fracas. That’s a healthy mentality. However one of the more aggressive types spotted them. Should have been watching. Now, however, it’s a little late for blame. When identified by a very hostile and very violent person, best job is to either give them a reason not to attack without harming them (words CAN work, a bigger weapon is better….. but an injury only pisses ’em off), take them down immediately (go for the eyes, throat, or inside of the arm or leg with something sharp if you can, or go for the head with anything else), or run away and try to scrape them off on someone else (running past another combatant looking for a foe and yelling ‘go for the knees!’ or similar can have the pursuer suddenly believe they’re about to be attacked and go for the new guy). I’d say don’t panic, but yeah, right. Run like the dickens when it all comes down to it, especially if you just have to make it to a set time….. which doesn’t often happen in real life. Also, always keep your feet. Never get on your knees or sit down in a situation like this if you don’t need to.
By the way I’ve seen people with almost the exact same expression as Nazz in panel 3….. more normal eyes, but about the same. Unless you have allies, don’t do what Harken is doing….. screaming only draws more predators to you. They might take out hte big guy, but more likely they’ll help him pulverize you.
Oh yes…… forgot to mention. If you can keep something between you and a foe, they’ll be slowed getting over and around it. Merry-go-round is fine, but keep an eye out for others looking to bash in your skull from behind.
My eyes caught the word (words?) “Merry-go-round” and now I’m picturing a battle on a carousel of doom. Kind of like the ending of Strangers on a Train only with more fighting and less uncomfortable homoerotic tones.
Where was I? Oh, right, fighting!
From my experience growing up in a household with a lot of bullying jerks, I will say that getting your enemies to fight each other may work but more often than not they’ll just team up to hurt someone weaker (and guess who that was?). There are very few “noble warriors” out there who seek worthy combatants to hone their skill and test their honor. Most folks looking for a fight are really looking for someone who can’t fight back.
…and hopefully, some day, they’ll all end up on a carousel of death while a creepy middle-aged man named Bruno comes on to them and begs them to kill his daddy.
I have somewhere north of 15 half-siblings. Getting them to fight each other was a matter of proving they didn’t want to fight me, and making them have a quibble with each other. Incidentally every time I think of a merry-go-round battle I think of the first Silent Hill game.
maybe weenie mc matchstick arms will get out of it using his brain, also a man will get uncomfortable when other man sobs on the floor crying for his mo…owyeah he probably won’t do that, i hope our rocking rock star, will keep on rocking with his rocking rock
I still think Weenie McMatchstick Arms should be made into an animated series. Hey, it’s no less sh_thouse-rat crazy than Spongebob Squarepants or Uncle Grandpa.
My mom was mixing drinks back when she was in grade school. Of course, she was mixing them for her parents and this was back in the days when a well-stocked liquor cabinet was a staple of any family household!
Wow… most parents hide the keys to the liquor cabinet. Well, in Europe, the kids are raised on red wine… so I guess yer mom was being rather cultured and European…
My mother’s party bag was pretty close to his, with more liquor and coke and less mescaline. Thankfully she kicked most of her habits…. AFTER I was born! ARGH.
By this point Jemini would have either a) shot everyone, b) convinced them to work for her or at least shoot each other, c) tried to seduce them and end up getting a plane crashed.
While most problems CAN be solved with violence, the outcome is never exactly a clean and desireable one unless it happens to be ‘killing someone who needs to be gotten rid of’. Such as incurable pedophiles, completely unhinged serial killers, particularily bent dictators, politicians, and people who are so mentally damaged they’re a permanent threat to themself and everyone around them. Of course opinions may vary but that’s pretty much my list.

Highballs… useful info… he should have gone into bar tending… his dad would be proud of him then.

Highballs!..That was the reason I couldn’t drink Mom and Dad’s 7Up!
That awful childhood memory when you discover Mom and Dad’s medicine-cabinet was actually more like the contents of Hunter S. Thompson’s briefcase…
My mother’s party bag was pretty close to his, with more liquor and coke and less mescaline. Thankfully she kicked most of her habits…. AFTER I was born! ARGH.
Jesus Holy God, bats and huge flying manta rays all around the car!
Actually with my mother I think it was toucans. I don’t know why toucans, but I seem to recall a few instances of her yelling about them.
Oh, man. They’re gonna need some quick wits to keep him from laying harm on ’em. If Jemini can do it, maybe they can too.
By this point Jemini would have either a) shot everyone, b) convinced them to work for her or at least shoot each other, c) tried to seduce them and end up getting a plane crashed.
Who needs wits when you’ve got a switchblade?
Few problems can’t be solved with stab wounds. It worked for Varg Vikernes!
I wanted to say “violence never solved anything”, but a couple million years of human history proves otherwise…

All problems could be solved with puppies, if only people could realize it.
*except for the problem of peepee puddles on the floor, but it’s a small price to pay for world peace.
Harkin appears to be taking in air for a girlie scream that will shatter glass and break eardrums. Actually, not bad for a natural defense.
He’s winding up…here’s the pitch! An ear-splitting pitch! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
In case you missed it? Nazz just pooped. If you rewind it you can see the exact moment on her face….. Que up the instant replay on that!
At least it saved her a bathroom break!
High balls are a good skill to have
Yeah, if you’re a giraffe.
