We’ve seen in the past that Scapula’s relationship with the Sinister Monster Doom Legion is shaky at best, but if there’s one thing that unites a merry band it’s capitalistic self-interest (and the occasional trip to the local strip joint).
We’ve got less than a month to go ’til the grand finale, so now’s as good of a time as any to hint about what’s coming next: for all of you Patreon backers who have so diligently contributed to funding this series, you’ll be happy to know that your donations will continue to help back new comics for the new year. In January 2016 the Scapula Webcomic Patreon will become the Scapula Comics Patreon, which will include new details about the further adventures of Scapula, the continuing annual publication Dada Hyena’s Creature Show, and finally the next creator-owned series I have in the works. Every ending is a new beginning, my friends!
When even Toxsick’s composure breaks, you know there are a lot of zeroes behind that dollar sign.
…but you got to keep an eye on where that all-important decimal point is placed. $1.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 looks tempting until you squint at it.
I really enjoyed this one. Always a pleasure to watch Scap keep control of his gang by the skin of his teeth.
(Or the exposed, bleached-white bone of his teeth. And his face. And the rest of his ravaged body. You know what? Never mind!)
Good enough! I’ve always hated that aphorism, so pick it apart all you like (just don’t let that toothpick skin ya).
Can’t help but notice that that paunch is all gone! For all his billing as a terrible villain, Scap has come a long way since he was confusedly bickering with bank tellers after robbing a bag of dog doo. He’s in the big leagues now- I remember that promo image you made that showed Scap looking in the window of a league of super villains meeting. I almost wished that was still canon, just so he could crash in and rub his success in their faces.
Seven years can be a long time, and change can occur in but a fraction of that whether by commitment or chance. It looks like all Scapula needed was to lay off them Ding Dongs and go for a walk every now and then, but now he’s looking much healthier…if you ignore the cigar cooking his lungs alive.
Normally I would caution to not kill a good thing.
Greed is not always good.
However, in this case it would not make a good story.
The moral of the story is…uh….don’t be like Greedy Smurf? Actually Brainy Smurf was probably the biggest douche, even if Smurfette was also an insufferable knowitall. Damn it, just kill them all, Gargamel! I’m rootin’ for ya!
