Marc reminds me with this strip how much fun it is to get out of Valhalla. He rendered the snot out of that alleyway! Those with eyes attuned will recognize the boy’s shirt for what it is.
Did you see it? Did you see The Avengers? I saw it at the end of a 6 movie Marvel Marathon. Wow. It is possible to become desensitized to big guys pummeling each other. Not that that made the movie less amazing. Hoping to have a full review up soon… not that it matters. You know if you want to see this.
Now I really have to go watch “The Return of Captain Invincible” again 🙂
I… do not know that reference. Must investigate.
Now that surprises me. From the way this is going I really thought it was one of your important influences. Do yourself a favour and find a copy somewhere: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086189/
First you run out of whiskey and then the space monkeys appear. This day keeps getting worse and worse.
Here’s a tip: if you ever start seeing space monkeys, you’re mentally and emotionally in a bad place.
hey brock, why would he walk down a dead end? unless he knew they were following him. also what does the sign say on the prison (?) wall?
Bad off as Cap is, he wouldn’t litter. He ducked down the alleyway to toss his bottle into a trashcan.
As for the wall, it’s not necessarily to a prison. My guess is that it says “Post No Bills.”
Broken heroes
“Me and Hans can pull that back fat down into the shape of a cape and you can a brand new super hero known as Flabberman.”
I would have given even odds in this fight, but the wrestling singlets on the space chimps tilts the scales in their favor (although Cap’n looks like he could cave in pretty much any scale- dude is circling the drain)..
Hans and Franz!
The fight breaks out in the next strip!
Even when you are hiding at the bottom of the bottle the space monkeys will find you…oh they will find you. Poor, poor Captian. He has fallen hard.
The question is… does he have farther to go?
I do believe I feel some monkey business coming on…..
Do those feelings come with a faint banana odor? Because they do for me.
I always love the mainuqenn drawings. They are so full of energy and movement. I find it so amazing how a static image can portray movement so well, but animation which doesn’t consider it properly (or live actors in fact) can look stiff and unreal. All my sketches are looking dead at the moment, because I’m concentrating so much on getting the anatomy proportionally correct. It will nice to bring them back to life again.
Yup, I’ve read a few reviews that say much the same about the mildeasing cover, and what a shame because I love the cover too, and the fact that it hints at a romance is what makes me love it even more. But yeah, I probably wouldn’t be able to stand Corrine either. She seems to be so stereotypical, and I rather avoid those kind of characters if I can. Thanks for the honest review, Nina. 🙂
I’m not too worried about Wilbur. He’s a drunk superhero looking for something to hit. As Chester from “Gunsmoke” once said, a drunk can be “meaner than a yellowjacket in long underwear.”
Good question… is Cap a mean drunk? A sad drunk? A funny drunk?
