Throgor seems more accustomed to training animals than training punk kids. To be fair, the animals are probably smarter.

As a former Dominatrix, and owner of many dogs, I can assure you that animals are both much easier to train and much more likely to remember what you teach them.
…and less accountable for the messes they make. If a dog craps on your rug, there’s not much point yelling at it. If a drunken idiot craps on your rug you have every right to beat the living hell out of him or her.
The shocked guy in the second panel! He’s hilarious. I just love those small expressions in the background.
Another influence of MAD; if there’s a pointless gag or funny picture to slip in the back, do it!
*Sniff Sniff!*. Oh! So that’s where the smell was coming from!
I blame the kids. They all stink of drugs, cheap cologne, and dirty laundry.
Kids. BAH!
Honestly, I’d probably pick Team Throggy given the choice. Seems the most useful for when shit hits the fan. Just let Throggy go at the problem while you skedaddle out the back way. Second most useful team leader in a jam’d probably be Toxsick. But hanging out with him would give you cancer.
So very much cancer.
I was inclined to think of that as a “Team Edward/Team Jacob” reference, except that fad has thankfully run its fifteen-minutes of fame course. Excuse me a moment while I shout: GOOD!
Now then, back to this comic: there’s probably ups and downs to working with any particular member of the SMDL. Toxsick is probably the most lax, which also means he’s not going to particularly care if someone dies. On the other hand, he’s not roaring at anyone like Throgor.
It still beats working for most temp agencies.
I am surprised the various ‘generals’ haven’t customed tailored their troops to match their particular sense of style and methods of doing things.
But it’s probably good that there aren’t a couple dozen Throgor’s in training wandering about…..
How to be Throgor: stop bathing and eat people. You can fake the rest.
If you ever put out a line of ‘how to be’ advice columns, warn me which one is Babirus. I really don’t want to know.
I’m trying to decide which one of Sap’s capos I’d rather work for, but that’s too hard of a decision to make. 😀
There’s really no easy answer. Although the kid in this comic would prefer to work with Hypnausea, there would probably be a whole lot of mental-scarring involved. Hypnausea does things that aren’t easily forgotten…
