Now I can do all my Mad Max jokes and my Jurassic park jokes at the same time

Angel’s married to Jet, she’s Commander’s sister-in-law as well as his Captain. It’ll probably come up later but I figure I’ll just head off all the “why would Angel get any say if Jet takes is raptors to run around the Jungle” questions ahead of the game.
THE TRIUMPHANT(?) RETURN OF LEATHER COMMANDER
He’s making jam and she’s wearing horns on her mask, that’s triumphant in my book
Ah well, I probably would’ve assumed Angel had some say because she set up the event or something(I don’t remember if she actually did, mind you).
I wonder how much strawberry jam they need. That’s a pretty big kettle.
Probably stock piling for some sort of thunder dome meets iron chef competition. “Two chefs enter, Rock Lobster makes dessert.”
When you consider how much of it has to be discarded due to chest hair contamination, it’s really not that much in the end. Maybe he should wear some hairnets on his pecks while cooking. It wouldn’t be the silliest thing on a Mad Max-esque costume….
Random jam fact: did you know you can take the seedless versions and use it as fruit sauce? I do it with white chocolate raspberry cheesecake so that I don’t have to go through the headache of making the raspberry sauce half from scratch. Technically, you can do it with the seed versions too, but you have to run it through a strainer first and that’s a real headache.
…I’m sure I had a point somewhere in there… Uhhh… Post competition cheesecake?
So it’s Husband team vs Wife team? Such a contests can only result satisfyingly good or awfully, terribly and apocaliptically bad
If the husbands team won, the wives will sulks.
If the wives team won, the husbands will sulks.
Oh my God, you’re right! ^^;;
Too right. 50% of all couples’ survival activities end in Thundervorce.
“Two couples enter. One gender leaves.”
Y’know, post- Fury Road, B’s outfit ends up looking kinda tame.
It also looks easy to draw over and over again so hey there you go.
Hello, 911? Hi yes, I just witnessed a murder
Who cares!? Big, hairy chested man in leather straps equals good times in my books.
I wonder if the commander will eventually train his kids for the survival junk still it seems more like this is a friendly game rather than actual fight for your life survival from the way they’re talking about it
Gotta remember, Commander probably has access to med tech that makes the Doc from TF2 look like a wimp. That said, it also probably comes with side effects that may get nasty. Of course, if there’s no side effects, it’s only a matter of time before the kids want to grab a laser cannon and come along.
It’s possible but, given the injuries that Commander has endured in his career (such as having someone stuff his guts back in) and that this survival game allows for live velociraptors, there is still the mental trauma of injuries.
“Now, Now. Don’t cry, Junebug. Five minutes under this heal ray and your right arm will be reattached, good as new.”
Plus, given that Commander is considered property by the space future military force, I’m not sure that he’d want to bring them to a place where there is an admiral who is searching for legal loopholes to use against Commander.
I would hope even the Spacefuture Navy brass have the sense to not go after a guy’s kids.
video games tell me that no, no they don’t (well the spacefuture army and spacefuture CIA/FBI/NSA/other three initials don’t, and the EVIL spacefuture generic military ones also are that stupid)
I think he’ll probably be cool with whatever they want to do with their lives. He doesn’t seem the type to impose his own ambitions on his kids – admittedly, that may be because he lives such an awesome life he doesn’t NEED to live through them. :D
mad max and jurassic park ?
so basically Cadillacs and Dinosaurs…
…Why can’t they make that movie? And do it as a rockabilly musical. I’d go see that.
TAKE MY MONEY!!!
And my dignity!
And my pants!
Just leave ’em at the door.
by the jars with the faces in them.
I’m proud of you.
Ah~ Cadillacs & Dinosaurs~ The arcade game was a BIG HIT in here in Indonesia.
Good times, good times ^_^
To be fair… Angel has a point.
Junebug would be awesome at battle survival training.
Especially if it was on the millipede planet.
Or on any of the combat-planets from the Starship Troopers series.
SO MENNEH BUGZ.
CB as Lord Humoungus? (Snerk) Appropiate.
I wonder if Commander looks to the raptors like nieces and nephews, too. It’d make for some interesting holidays, that’s for sure.
probably another reason he got divorced ,honey waddaya mean my nephews cant come to the family get together , honey they are live dinosaurs, so they wont eat any one we dont like , thats my point!
Willing to bet Sam and June love them.
Well, Commander DID bring an Andrewsarchus (which is hilarious when Jared thought it’s Andrew Serkis. LOLs )
Well, he can control free-range fire with a harsh word and glare, so dinosaurs are probably well within his ability to Command.
P.S. I know that ‘Command’ shouldn’t be capitalized in this context. But he controls fire through stern parenting. It’s officially a thing all its own.
Well, hunting for food IS a bit easier when you can utilize pack tactics, after all. You’re more likely to survive as part of a team anyway.
Robert “Smart girl” Muldoon would agree.
now, Coela, (Is it alright if I shorten it?), this is a vital question.
Are the raptors feathered or non-feathered?
both one is the scrappy doo like tag along
I don’t know how, but I misread “Jurassic Park” as “Jellystone Park” for a minute there…
Is anyone bringing any bears?
Heya booboo, I smell some jam.
I was going to comment this last week but then forgot it…
if we ever organize a survival rally thing i want to be in coella’s team, call it
That’s a crossover I would watch multiple times, and twice on Sunday.
…the dinosaur whisperer stuff is still not getting old, guys. It makes me cackle gleefully EVERY TIME.
why can’t i help but find the commander damn sexy in that leather harness despite the mask on?
Despite?
well yeah “despite” his face is a big part of his great feature with that jaw and beard and stuff.
It’s the allure of knowing it’s there, waiting to see it. Like when a hot person wears clothing that hides their hotness, y’know?
you say it like that you make me want to unwrap him like a christmas or birthday present hehe
How, uh… How many velociraptors does Jet have?
More than one is more than enough :D
one velociraptor is more than enough
Speaking as a furry beef-monster, I disapprove of Commander’s off-screen waxing in panel two.
I do however approve of his full face mask whilst making vats of jam. Safety is important.
It’ll be fixed when I get the colour one up, it was a bonkers-crazy weekend and I passed out face down in my work when I was trying to colour it last night.
awesome….
What? Is the government shut down again?
It’s a versatile outfit.
I wanna see Commander with the chest harness but no mask. Just ’cause, um… sheer hotness. <3
I know, right? Which other gaming comic can say that?
Okay sure why not.
Holy… ! That is some really tasty-looking beefcake…
Thank you Coelasquid for the treat :)
LADYBONERS LAUNCHED CAPTAIN
All you women think about is sex sex sex…can’t you just love a man for his mind?
That depends on whether or not the man has a mind.
Actually, that’s exactly why the Commander is way more lady-boner-riffic than all the other half-dressed over-macho dudes featured in the comic – he has a brain, he demonstrably and regularly makes good use of his brain, and he does awesome non-macho things like make strawberry jam. Plus he’s a good dad and he doesn’t hate his ex. If this cat was real, ladies would be fighting to be Jonesy.
*GASP* I didn’t think I cared until I SAW IT. That is fantabulous. Thank you for asking, you who did, and thank you for drawing it, Coelasquid. (Pls forgive the rhyme, it just happened)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU <3 <3 <3
… I have no adequate response to this. Damn.
Hi there! I just wanted to say that I love this comic, it’s really funny! Oh, and I stole your joke comparing Mad Max’s get-up with Rob Halford for a blog post of mine. :-P Well, I didn’t really “steal” since I gave you due credit. Seriously, though, I hope that’s cool with you; if it’s not, just say the word and I’ll remove it!
Hm… -All- of his velociraptors… That kinda implies there are a whole lot of velociraptors involved.
How many velociraptors does one man need, I wonder? Is there an optimal a number, like too few and they get lonely, but too many and they feud? And are they color coded?
Hmm…
A man needs as many velociraptors as he can reasonably afford to feed (without prowling the neighborhood for strays. I’m looking at you, Jared!).
I have about 50 or so. They keep multiplying like giant flesh hungry feathery bunnies.
You train em good enough you can get em to do just about any task you need.
Is that Rocky’s pet fire?
I thought I had the vat-grown family dynamics figured out, but now I’m re-confused.
Survival wise, leather in a jungle is a bad idea, but I imagine they’ve got a complicated scoring system in place where being stylish or flashy is at least as important as successfully completing various “survival” challenges, like incapacitating a lounge of space-future cyborg komodo dragons with your bare hands.
Angel looks so much more clothed in colour. Commander looks the same =p
There a chance this has anything to do with ARK: Survival Evolved? Because you can and will get super attached to your dinos.
(In a twist, I ended up naming my raptor Furiosa in this strip’s honor.)
Dangit. We need more closeups on the strawberry jam!
THAT’S WHAT WE ALL CAME TO SEE!
ALL OF US.

So I just found this on reddit, turns out Canada is a greater fit for this strip than we all realized. Love your comic!
I kinda wanna see more of this storyline.
Oh shit the Commander has raptor nieces!!!!
For the life of me I cannot figure out where Jet and Angel are from. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.
