Okay, let’s look at a likely final installment of ‘What young punks are using to murder each other and why it’s a good thing not to be hit with’. Harkin’s got a spatula. Hm, yeah….. carrying on.
The Sadako looking chick seems to have a common rice sickle. Like an axe it’s easy to use and deadly, but it’s also lighter and easier to manouver. Much like a long handled machete, they’re ideal hacking and chopping weapons but they’re nowhere near as durable, being made of lower quality materials. They tend to snap off near the handle. Still you could mess someone up bad with one and it’s not entirely unfeasable to lop off a limb if you hit a knee or elbow hard enough.
The humble spear is humanity’s oldest weapon shy of the rock or club. Mass produced for thousands of years and used by billions of soldiers, there’s a reason it’s so common in history: it’s easy to use, can be effective with little training, and is also capable of being used for many advanced techniques. It keeps people at range, isn’t entirely useless at close range, and is defensively solid.
And a mop. Everything good about a staff with a big tightly packed ball of fiber at the end good for clubbing with and yet still largely non-lethal. If they weren’t typically made of cheap aluminum or wood they’d actually be surprisingly ideal weapons, but durability is always an issue with the common mop.
Also, yay! Harkin gets the beatdown he so sorely deserves! You’re so good to us, Unca’ Dada!
Of note this drooling pack of maniacs isn’t entirely unbelieveable in a scenario like this. Once humans get fighting they tend to become very aggressive and target anyone weaker than them long past the point of sanity. This is why discipline is a very important part of training soldiers…… they have to know to stop when an enemy is done for or when ordered and not constantly attack everyone in sight, or you end up with massive civilian massacres which, often, wasn’t the plan (capturing a civilian population means more workers and potential soldiers, after all).
Huh…so I guess I really DID give Harkin a weapon. Man, sometimes I can’t even understand my own damned drawings!
If this crowd was looking for the weakest link among them (and no making tired 90’s references to briefly popular game shows), they chose well with Harkin. True, they probably aren’t aware he’s a cop’s son, but with this pack of loonies it’s doubtful they’d put much thought into it. Hell, they probably aren’t putting much thought into ANYTHING, except piling on an emo weenie.
As for whether or not a mop can do damage, well…guess you have to go ask Carol Burnett’s “Charwoman”.
The only way I see Harkin surviving is if he suddenly develops the strength of ten gorillas, the surly attitude of a pissed off wolverine, and the killer instincts of a cobra. Berserker gorilla-snake mode is about what it would take!
Maybe he can by some animal DNA from Throgor and then…I dunno, mix it with his drugs and shoot himself up. Probably wont do anything (except kill himself), but it’s worth a shot.
That doesn’t look too good for Hark. Lets hope the heavy guy just crushed his head in panel two quick and simple.
The days of mercy killings went out a long, long time ago…kids nowadays want to enjoy the torture they inflict.
Kids…bah!
humbug
Welp.
He’s not a puppy!…oh, I thought you said “whelp”.
noooooooo weeny mc matchstick arms!, atleast they can light a smoke with his arms once they pull em off 😮
Just as long as all of his emo hair doesn’t catch fire. The smell would last for weeks!
So right, too bad you can get M. Jackson to verify that for you. To this day I still stay clear of Pepsi commercials.
Sadako?
I prefer crosswords…oh, I thought you said “sudoku”.
It couldn’t go better for Scap – his new minions already know about teamwork. 😉
Nothing brings a group closer together like having an annoying little turd-boy to beat up.
Oh, the inhumanity!
Oh the huge manatee!
Aww, I thought I was original when I thought the manatee joke. Turns out someone else also made it up before.
My only acomplishment….
Oh, I thought you said the man with the goat tee.
Oh, I thought you said the man with John Gotti (the one with cement shoes).

Oh yeah….. they might have just murdered a cop’s kid. That’s not going to go well in Scap’s plans.

*steals Hark!*
What? Crybaby steals children…I steal Bishonen.
*steals Hypnausea while I’m at it*
As far as Scapula is concerned, you can KEEP ‘EM!
