The Homophobe still has a crippling fear of homosexuals. Some characters are only defined by their running gags (hey, it works for the Looney Tunes).
It looks like the Halloween Gang kids are on their way to becoming true terrors…or are they? And where the flying hell has the Jemini duplicate been all of this time? Find out this Sunday!
I cannot picture his reaction in anything other than the shrillest and girliest shriek of alarm and panic ever.
It is beautiful in its irony.
I could have done a follow-up where he runs as far away as possible, only to run into the same guy he was avoiding.
Hey, it works in Droopy cartoons!
And God bless those old shows, every one!
The way he stands in panel one, nice touch!
But I’m still not ready to believe that those kids will function as soldiers. Isn’t it part of being goth or emo to ALWAYS seperate from the meanstream, no matter the sence or the cost? So following orders and working as team schould be difficult to achieve. Then again they are quite good in being subordinate to the iron rule of goth to always wear black and never like anybody and show it to them… so, meh.
It’s no easy task getting any large group of followers (and I know…five years on-line and not even five hundred Facebook followers!). Getting kids who are rebellious by nature to follow your orders means really knowing when the balance the whip and the carrot: make sure they get a chance to destroy, but let them know you can wipe ’em out if they screw up.
We’ve only just begun with the new Halloween Gang, so let’s see what happens next!
Never had problems keeping rebel teens begging for orders from me, hehehehehehehe. And I only EVER had to use a whip. Of course, I have tits.
Try whipping them hard enough to “uncrack” their voices.
Oh, this one is delicious.
So is this Christmas turkey!…yeah, I know it was meant for next week, but I ate it anyway.
I haven’t seen that big headed alien mask in a long time. The shoulders of that alien would pull that snazzy coat all out of shape.
I take it you’re referring to the Metaluna mutant from This Island Earth (and if you weren’t, correct me). The mutant is really the only memorable thing about that movie; I’d rather spend money on the merchandise than an actual copy of that film (unless, of course, it was in Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie).
You are right on all counts. I always thought the mutant should have had more screen time.
Well, if anyone’s going to get people in shape (that Scapula has access to), it might as well be the psychotic hillbilly. Trust me, we psychotic hillbillies tend to be in GREAT shape! Even after major surgery knocking me on my keister for months I can bench 600.
It could have been worse: Scap might have put El Disgusto in charge. That would entail eating a hundred bucks worth of Taco Bell a day and jerkin’ off to internet porn.
( whispered ) Wow, Lady Jenn must look like Knuckle Sam, no wonder a 10 lb. trigger pull is nothing to her. Sssh, is she looking this way? Just smile and walk away and maybe it will be okay.
I’ll take the hit; I moderate these comments, and unless someone is flat out insulting, slamming, or being a douche to other readers I don’t delete them (not including spam).
If anything, I’d call Lady Jenn the “Knuckle Sam of rational people”!
“Knuckle Sam of rational people” is most appropriate. I only meant to say that being able to bench 600 lbs is world class ability and I should have been less subtle. Only a few football players are in that class. Anyone able to do that is intimitating just by their presence.
Can’t argue with that!
Yeah, now if only I qualified for the olympics! I’m flattered, boys. That’s what growing up hauling buckets of water and quarters of bear around on sleds will do to you. Of course I love the adrenaline rush of heavy weightlifting.
Incidentally I think Sam has a couple pounds on me, but I agree I am intimidating to most. In my line of work (and my previous line of work, actually) it’s a good thing. In dating scenes? Let’s just say I get awful lonely these days, since that ‘barely twenty’ shine wore off and the scar tissue’s piled on!
So he was a literal homophobe, huh? No, wait, a literal homophobe would be afraid of things that are the same as other things. Twins, routine, show reruns, massively-manufactured products.
Nevermind, the point is I am not that surprised that he has not fliched in front of Hypnausea, he is more of a omnisexual guy.
The Homophobe has most certainly been terrified of Hypnausea before, but maybe he was able to tough it out for the duration of their van ride through the desert. And as long as Scapula is smart enough to keep the two of them apart there shouldn’t be any problems…maybe.
As for those other things, perhaps the Homophobe is afraid of show reruns. Heck, you could torture him with an entire evening of Nick at Nite!
That is so funny. Ha, ha, ha.
I came from the 90’s generation where ‘gay’ was just a general blanket term for anything that was lame or sucked. And the thing is, during that time, at no point did we ever associate it with homosexuals, that was strictly reserved for ‘faggots’.
God damn bundles of wood.
I remember that, and truth be told every once in a while I slip and call something ‘gay’, only to have every liberal person in the vicinity call me out on it (I live in California).
I really don’t mean to insult LGBT people, but those stupid childhood habits are hard to break (other outdated phrases I catch myself blurting out: “hella”, “moded”, “friggin”, “man” as punctuation, and “awesome” in the Ninja Turtles sense).
Think that’s odd? I still call people that interest me or make me laugh ‘cards’. Habit from me Pa. And lately I’ve picked up another oldie……. unless you’re well away from Germany, never call someone ‘schweinhund’. On the other hand, I know a lot of brits so periodically I use the word ‘fag’ instead of cigarette. Hooo boy, the misunderstanding around that one, and I don’t even smoke!
I also get confused when people use the word ‘gimp’ to describe someone with a deformity or crippling injury. Of course, spending years as a dominatrix, ‘gimp’ meant something a little different, so imagine my confusion when I started hearing that one tossed around freely in the early 2000’s……
I’d call an enemy ‘schweinhund’, but I’d probably call a friend ‘dachshund’, because those are cute and funny and make good friends (especially if you have food).
‘Gimp’ is a term that I’m familiar with as somewhat old timey slang for injuries (usually in the legs)…and honestly, I don’t actually hear a lot of people use it in reference to sadomasochism (even friends of mine who have seen Pulp Fiction often forget about that character; let’s face it, that Gimp didn’t do anything!).
It’s humorous to hear you say it since one of your characters is a zipper mouth away from wearing a gimp mask!
