…and it looks like the usual ‘Scapula luck’ has pulled through. Then again, he’s not the one covered in bruises and lacerations; it’s time for a whole new generation of creepy criminals to take up the mutilated mantle!
Here’s to the new Halloween Gang: they may have passed the initiation test, but what will they find in this eerie organization? Find out this week!
Aw, lil’ Buttmuch is still okay!
Everyone’s okay!…except for the grievous injuries and hurt feelings.
Though Hypnausea does look nice in that dress. If only it didn’t come in matching shades of venereal diseases…
Ugh. Hypnausea. In that outfit.
Can…not..unsee.
Just close your eyes and think of Rush Limbaugh in that outfit.
Hypnausea doesn’t look so bad anymore, does he?
What can I say, that’s not a terrible outcome actually. At least you know your mooks are tough enough to survive severe beatings! Admittedly they have a small issue of all being badly brutalized, but on the upside they have all proven capable meat shields. And hey, 27 of them is pretty damn good for a starting gang.
Also…… Oh, Hypnausea, you so crazy!
Now there’s positive thinking. If these kids can survive a brutal ordeal, and not call the cops on Scapula, then maybe there’s something worth having to them after all.
Of course, now the question is whether or not being in the Halloween Gang comes with health insurance.
Woo hoo I called it. What do I win!!
You did? When? Did you write it on a card, put it in an envelope kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s porch since noon today?
A hermetically-sealed mayonnaise jar, thank-you-very-much.
Hi-yooo!
No I commented on it the day before you posted silly boy
first rule of halloween gang, YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT HALLOWEEN GANG!
…and you don’t reference Brad Pitt movies (Scapula’s not a fan of Brad Pitt).
You don’t talk about the Halloween Gang, but you DO get to gripe and moan about it!
Love the close-up of Scap’s eyes in panel 4. Of course, it’s only hitting him right now just how colossally stupid his plan was…standard procedure for Edgar it seems…
Well, at this point, I’d say it’ll take a few weeks before the new Halloween gang will be remotely ready for duty. Wonder what’s going to happen in the meantime?
We’ll be seeing the Halloween Gang’s training and procedures in the upcoming week. Until then, just sit and watch Scapula’s sinking feeling. The bar has dropped a few notches once more!
(Slow clap.)
Twenty-seven possibly seriously-injured henchmen. No doubt they’re eager to get right to work. Bra-vo, Scap.
Not even going to comment on Hypnausea’s change of clothing. I’m just accepting that that’s how he rolls.
Well, at least Hypausea is trying to help the kids…maybe? I dunno, that one guy doesn’t seem to know what to make of a cross-dressing supervillain binding him up. I don’t blame him.
…how do you NOT kill someone with a chainsaw? Kids these days. They’ve got no HEART. Everything is half-assed with them.
Chainsaw-wielding girl was probably too busy taking “selfies” on her smart-phone all night to ever get around to chopping up her opponents.
Kids…bah!
I do confess, if I were gifted a chainsaw, selfies might be in order.
You’re a bad man, Charlie Brown.
But…but he has humility, nobility, and a sense of honor that is very rare indeed!
Ten bucks says Hyp’s the one doing the bandage-and-patch routine simply as an excuse to wear that outfit (which he already had with him anyway for unrelated reasons).
You never know when you’ll need to throw on a ‘naughty nurse’ outfit. Comes in handy for birthdays, bat mitzvahs, and funerals!
Hahaha! That was so Scapula-like. He ends up with a full-fledged team of cohorts who are ALL on the injured-reserve list. That sounds about like his run of luck.
Well, at least, he knows that they can take a beating. Here’s hoping they have another two or three still left in ’em.
By the way, that looks like a beaten-up Bearman in one of those panels. Is it?
No Bearman cameo here; I already learned my lesson about including him in my cartoons (he gets one brief cameo in 2010 and he’s been pestering me for more ever since!).
Scapula knows these kids can take a beating. Perhaps he’ll be able to vent on them with a blunt instrument when times get tough? Hey, that’s what kids are for!
I’m glad Charlie Brown lived. Now he can go on to become Weapon Brown.
Time to make that Kite-Eating Tree pay for all the childhood joy it devoured!
It’s like a nightmare before Christmas. Decked in a Hall. Red, Black & Blue decorations… kicked in bal(lsnevermind)…
I don’t see Jack Skellington anywhere. Aw hell, knowing these kids, they’ve probably all got at least one Nightmare Before Christmas item on them, whether it’s undies, earrings, or pacemakers (available now at Hot Topic)!
Not THE Nightmare Before Christmas… BUT A nightmare…
