For the unacquainted: Tigadactyl was (supposedly) revealed to be make-up artist Rick Baker in SINISTER MONSTER DOOM LEGION pt.28.
Since that time I’m happy to say that I’ve met Baker in person and he’s a genuinely nice guy (I didn’t tell him about his ‘cameo’ in Scapula, though…).
Uh, right. I agree Hollywood’s a gigantic loony-bin with expensive shoes, but to have Baker go nuts on JUST that one occasion is still a little too sane for that block…
Here I thought I had already stretched credibility a mile long with having him play a flying pterosaur-man in the first place, but to be sent back home, without even a slap on the wrist? That IS pretty crazy!
Touché
I’ve always suspected that Hollywood was one big open-air Arkham. 😀
If it had been a famous actor who put on a Tigadactyl costume and run amuck it might have gotten him a ton of free publicity…well, only if drugs and attractive girls were also involved!
That, right there, if you didn’t make that statement in one of your comics already, you totally should!
I say the goverment is secretly ruled by the Joker or some other looney villain and takes all the other crazies and freaks and puts them to work on mass media sites and posts to spread the insanity ’till the whole world becomes as crazy as them!
It DOES make sense…..
In cartoon land!
If this were Marvel, he would just be “Tigadactyl II” (or Tigadactyl II: Electric Boogaloo) and there would be no nifty explanation!
It’s the merry Marvel tradition: if another writer/artist has killed off a character, just make a new person take their place…or resurrect them without explanation!
Jean Grey’s tomb needs a revolving door. Eventually they’ll get tired of burying her, and just wrap her in tinfoil, stick her in the back of the fridge behind the leftover turkey-loaf, and wait for her to crawl her own way out later.
Death in the Marvel Universe is the equivalent of taking your two-weeks vacation. I can’t even keep track of who’s dead anymore (is Colossus still dead? Did Nightcrawler just die? Do I really care anymore?), so let’s just assume every mutant’s got one foot in the grave.
Is it bad that I want to know what Hypnausea’s rates are for prostitution?
Not at all! It never hurts to catch up on what’s going on in the market these days. It’s always best to shop around and get a good quote.
Rate’s probably pretty high, seeing as how even his handjobs are good enough to buy parole for two offenders that should probably be in solitary.
Maybe it comes with extra goodies, like bumper-stickers or a free drink?
I’ve bounced for bars that gave away t-shirts with a girl’s caricature on them if you tipped the barmaid enough, so I can see prostitutes being that creative.
Man, that would have been a nice gig back in college (hell, even now!).
That would be cool. Can Hypnausea draw?
Making sense? We can’t have that!
Certainly not! Dreadful!
That would explain Sean Penn. loving the dailies btw
Good Lord, I’m too scared to even THINK about what Penn’s ‘supervillain identity’ would be!
What do you think, folks? What would his name and superpower be?
The power to grind up tanks in his disturbingly prominent brow ridges?
