It’s okay Hannibal, you had a good run

Consider this my tribute to Cockeyed.com, my one-stop shop for armchair science. Whether it’s building a twelve foot solar death ray just to find things to set on fire with it or figuring out the value of the gold after you filter out the schlager, sometimes there are just scientific queries that need to be answered and no self-respecting scientists willing to apply for a research grant on the matter.
I’ll admit that the A-Team movie is my only exposure to the show, but as much as I love Liam Neeson I figured it would be bad form to draw anyone other than George Peppard Hannibal for the sake of a cameo. And of course it looks nothing like George Peppard because I have never had a reason to draw George Peppard before.
Discussion (215) ¬
Well, I recognized Hannibal! Lovely work!
Ditto, not a bad job at all. Of course if you ever want to get in touch with your feminine side, you could watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
I feel like we’re missing someone…..
Peppard had a role in that movie.
(Hey, you waited nearly 2 years to post, over a month is nothing in comparison. :P )
He’s probably not going to love it when the Commanders’s plan comes together…
Hellboy and Sarj. Johnson.
I am happy
you and me both.
Also, Commander’s expression in the second to last panel is Win. :3
i recognized Duke, Commander, Johnson, Hellboy, Wolverine, Hannibal, and Lobo. The other three are beyond my gaming/comic/movie experience.
Tychus Findlay from Starcraft 2
Or just about any marine from that game or the first one. I mean, they all look the same.
Tychus is the only one who likes to hotbox inside his helmet as far as I know.
yeah, and most marines probably wouldn’t make the cut for this group… they’re after all generic soldiers…
Firebat here!
The science vessal cinema from the Zerg campaign in the Original Starcraft had a Marine who unsealed his helmet to reveal a smoking cigar.
Is that Mike Haggar in panel 2?
Yes maybe? Looks like it.
I thought Haggar was “too successfulE to hang around with this lot
“I’ll admit that the A-Team movie is my only exposure to the show”
Aaww, you missed out. The A-team is that kind of retarded that you can only really enjoy as a kid. so you can’t really watch it now and get anything out of it. But at the time, it was fun.
He’s too successful to be looking for work, he can still hang out and play foosball.
True dat.
The man became President and still wanted to brawl whenever.
I’d say so, the Mayor loves Cigars.
I confess I thought it was Race Bannon at first (only so many muscular guys have that white hair!), but! Having been filled in I can definitely see the likeness.
I am very happy to see Hellboy in the first panel. As always your comic made me laugh and put a smile on my face.
Wow, it really feels like a monday now. No classes for Presidents Day and the comic comes in on a tuesday… it’s going to mess with my whole week perception now.
Hellboy has made an appearance, I can die happy now.
Hellboy and Tychus. My day is complete. <3
Wait, and is that Sargent Johnson and Snake Plissken? Also, yes, that IS Mike Haggar.
That’s Snake?
Weird, I thought he was dead.
Yeah, you and everybody else.
Hey, if Snake is dead, Tychus is dead too. Just saying.
Snake?
Snake!?
SNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!?!?!
THATS NOT EVEN HIM!
….
Its a hologram.
Great work, I had a good laugh.
Nice Easy Rider Poster in the background there.
I’d say Wolverine’s the smallest, but his healing factor probably makes taking in carbon monoxide something akin to photosynthesis.
I dunno, I’m not a mutant scholar or anything.
He’s probably, the shortest, but if we’re taking density into account…
Yeah the man is a walking metallic skeleton.
But yeah, he can’t take gasses just because of regeneration. It is one of the ways his enemies get the jump on him. He may be able to smell you coming, but he can’t do anything about it if there is a knockout gas canister next to his feet.
X-Men comic where Wolverine dies quietly in his sleep due to a freak carbon monoxide leak would be the best X-men comic ever written.
Tis a low blow to all fans.
There is not a single more shocking or groundbreaking thing Marvel could pull out of their hats.
They could kill Jean a few more times.
Go for a record, kill her TWICE in a single page!
How many times has she died by now anyway? 20? Every issue she appears?
Well, as the Pheonix, dying and coming back is kind of her thing. Sorta like they have to show Reed Richards using his stretch powers in every single page he appears on, even if there’s no point.
I think Reed Richards just really likes showing off a lot, to the point where he is always stretching because otherwise somebody might forget he can.
I thought that was because it’s easier to draw a stretched arm than a properly proportioned one?
Somebody better get the phoenix out of her first or she won’t stay dead. She’s about as bad as half the Dragonball Z characters..
DBZ characters didn’t die nearly as much as Jean.
As many times as Jean has in one of the universes in Marvel? Or the entirety of Marvel altogether? (It’s too confusing to where I ended up sticking with DC.. less universes to keep up with. XD)
Goku died like… 5-6 times. 7 max
I died laughing. Please make some off-topic comic about this.
I’m not sure how Marvel could bring him back to life after this though. Glorious death begets ridiculous rebirth, so… what happens here? Do they even officially bring him back, or does he just casually appear in a crowd scene a few issues later and we just accept he’s back to life?
That’s more of a Marvel Transformers thing, where we can be treated to a splash-page death scene of a minor character who is standing around chatting three pages later.
Pfff… Impostor Space Marine stealing the glow of the true Holy Emperor’s Chosen Warriors. HERESY.
That doesn’t look to be a Space Marine. They don’t have helmets like that. It is a soldier from the Starcraft series.
I believe, to be specific, the ultra manly Tychus Findlay.
THAT was the word I was thinking of. I am not much of a fan of Starcraft, seeing as I have never played it. So I kept forgetting it
Oh and NOACuelemans is probably also making a pretty clever, if obscure, comment about the Blizzard ripping off Games Workshop for all their material.
They’ve been doing it from the start, every one of their games has blatantly ripped SOMETHING from GW.
Yep, was it Mark Twain who said, ‘Immature poets imitate, mature poets steal?’ Same goes for games I guess. ;)
Now I think about it, Tychus was probably the instigator of this experiment, after all he smokes in his helmet with his visor down. The others were probably curious to see if they could do it.
Yeah, I’m putting Tychus down as the last man standing.
smoking inside CMC combat armour is something of a trend in starcraft, I remember starcraft original’s destruction of the Amerigo cut scene. “thank god for cold fusion!”
‘I got your zergling riiiiiight here – ‘
*SPLORCH*
I fucking LOVE that cutscene.
Also Coela, please tell us you’re going to do some sort of comic for Duke when DNF comes out! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?
It was picasso, and he said artists, not poets
Thanks, I was far too lazy to research that last night. ;)
That’s right. Terran Marines are pretty much a direct ripoff from Macragge’s own Ultramarines.
Who are probably a rip off of Heinlein’s Mobile Infantry (Starship Troopers).
Which was probably ripped of armored knights.
And he’s still stuck in that suit, too. Man, he must smell terrible by now.
The Emperor’s Finest wouldn’t be smoking cigars, though.
They would for THE GLORY OF THE EMPEROR!
Panel 8 looks pretty Peppardy to me! I also enjoy seeing Commander Badass being a big,stupid boy for a change.
Stupid nothing, he’s doing SCIENCE!
Science for the WIN! Also, I think they should stick Jared in there as an air-tester, just to be safe.
Jared’s going to be too busy emptying the trash cans that they’ll be hawking tar-black loogies into.
Air tester? So Jared’s the canary in the mine?
The lifetime achievements of one Adam Savage have taught me that it’s perfectly possible to do science stupidly.
Just tell Jared there’s candy in there and see how long it would take for him to pass out.
Tell Mr Fish there is fresh pokemon and see long it takes for him to pass out.
Is that Duke Nukem? Sorry if I’m stating some kind of heresy. I’m just glad he’s not acting all nerdy this time :P
He was only acting like a fanboy the one time, point being that everyone can have hobbies that crack their armour.
As one off my friends put it “You can be a huge fucking nerd, you just don’t need to act like one” :P
Yes.
“You’re wrong Proton-breath. I’ll be done with you and still have time to watch Oprah!”
—Duke, in the opening of the first game
I love tvtropes
… wow Oprah’s old. X3
Ha! I love how a Starcraft Marine is there too.
Totally worth the wait. :) Is that …Dillon?…from Predator in the first panel, looking into the fridge? I never remember anyone’s names from Predator except for Dutch, but I think I remember Carl Weathers smoking a cigar? Maybe I’m making things up entirely; I just woke up, and I was always more of an Aliens chick in the whole AvP thing.
Also, yes, panel 8’s is very Peppard-y, though I’d figured out it was Hannibal by the time I got to panel 5. Love the first three panels and the way they flow together. Great establishing shot(s)!
My guess is either Sgt. Johnson of Halo fame or Malcolm from the Unreal Tournament games.
Malcolm has dreadlocks I am pretty sure. It is Johnson. I know that armor anywhere.
Sgt Johnson is based on Sgt Apone from Aliens.
Honestly I’m surprised it’s NOT Apone. The first thing the dude did upon waking from cryosleep was chomp down on a stogie.
NOPE! That is Sargent Johnson, baddest of ass to ever give glory to the UNSC.
Indeed he is. He’s almost as badass as the Master Chief himself.
Almost? The man is the original Spartan. Back when it was all about intense training and unforgiving conditions WITHOUT super suits and biological alteration. He was a walking tank of war-hardened knowledge.
Hell, I’ve watched as Master Chief unloaded entire clips into him without so much as a flinch. He’s died a lot fewer times than Chief when I’m in control, though a bit more permanently…
*Sergeant. I apologize if Grammar Nazi-ing is bothersome to you, I just wanted to help.
Definitely assumed it was Dillon too. I also thought Haggar was Joseph Turok. I’m really crap at this game.
Nothing like doing irreparable damage to your lungs in the name of science.
First thing I see is Hellboy.
Just noticed Marilyn Monroe poster, is it covering a hole?
He doesn’t really have a reason to be tunnelling out of his garage, but I guess it could be.
Hey, you always need to be prepared!
I recognized Hannibal right away! (coincidentally, after watching classic A-Team for the first time a few days ago…)
More Lobo, awesome!
So Duke seems pretty well adjusted here. Does this mean he’s gotten over his (suicidal) angst about never getting another game?
Well he IS getting another game. Great timing too, because first Coela does a comic about him not getting a game and being sad.
Couple months later a new game is shown.
Next couple weeks he is happy again.
Yes i heard, its why i figured he seems so much more relaxed… well that and the Cigar.
Everyone has a rough day every now and again.
I’m offended. Not by the comic, love it, seriously, but by the comments. You make an A-Team character cameo, in a webcomic called MANLY MEN, yet no one Is begging for a Mr. T cameo??? MR. T CAMEO DOT NOW :D
Seriously, watch the old A-team and tell me I’m wrong.
I feel like most Mr. T jokes at this point are just beating a dead horse. Not gonna rule them out, but we’re a decade late for that train.
Agreed. The WoW commercials finished him off in the mohawk-department. There’s nothing left to joke about now, unless he turns out to be an extremely talented ballerina or something.
Think I once saw him performing an infomercial for some deep-fryer THAT FRIES WITHOUT GREASE!
You could always do Barrett from FF7 instead. He’s close enough in the looks department, and he’s got a gun arm for that added flair.
I suppose they could do BA Baracus at some point, but Mr. T is still a wildly popular actor, and doing characters that are slightly more obscure, or else imaginary, avoids an awful lot of complications. Remember the guest comic about all of the Arnold Schwarzenegger variations? http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/images/guests/gueststripjamiestone.png I’m pretty sure Mr. T would induce the same sort of confusion. Is it Mr. T as himself or BA Baracus from A-Team or Clubber Lang from Rocky 3?
Come to think of it, it would be almost as bad as doing, say, all of the video game characters that Raphael Sbarge has voiced all in the same comic.
Or one about everyone Nolan North has voiced. That might actually take more than one comic.
I find it ironic Hannibal is complaining about carbon monoxide filling the room. Anyone who’s seen the old show’ll understand.
I am betrayed by my lack of classic A-Team know-how. I just figured the guy best reknowned for his strategic planning would be the first one to notice potential issues.
He was never seen without his stogie. (cough)grew up on it and dukes of hazzard(cough)
Oh, I know he always HAD them, but, yanno, there’s a difference between smoking in a well ventilated area or a tank for a few minutes now and then and consciously filling a garage with smoke :P
This is quite true; sometimes a cigar is just a prop.
And it should be impossible to be sneaky while smoking a cigar…
It should also be impossible to be sneaky when travelling around with Mr. T, eight-time winner of the World’s Most Conspicuous Man contest.
Isn’t today the comic’s first birthday? (correct me if I’m wrong, please). Congratulations :D
Started reading it last week and I already am looking forward for the years to come. I’m trying to spread the word here in Brazil, so that everyone can share the awesomeness of your work. Congrats again.
Yep. Coela didn’t want to post about it because it was a topic in last weeks.
It’s so hard to hold a cigar in your mouth and talk at the same time (and to smoke it that way, too). How come I can’t do that. D:
Still makes me want a cigar tho, despite my obvious handicap.
Is that Rambo or Big Boss in the third panel?
Big Boss.
At first I thought it was Snake Plissken, but the patch was on the wrong eye.
Happy one year. Also good job with tychus finlay
The top left of the 4th and 7th panel, is that an empty bottle of crown?
On a related note I just bought a “IT’S MOTHER-FUCKING BOOZE TIME” T shirt that I will be wearing on St. Patrick’s day. I would ask that if you do the same, you stay the hell out of Jersey, just in case.
Until the last panel I was convinced they were somehow smoking cigars with Charlton Heston.
This panel-time for Lobo makes me happy. Also, lulz to the back of Logan’s scalp. It’s a rare angle with him anymore. :P
hehe… Tychus would be in his power armour still…
I laughed. And enjoyed so many of the little touches on this comic. :)
You should really make those top three panels a print, nicely done.
Ah, Tychus at last.
Anyone ever notice the HUGE DIFFERENCES Starcraft: Wings of Liberty and Warhammer 40,000 – Dawn of War II?
Tychus: Bald, scarred, experienced Space Marine in a power suit with a big ass automatic rifle who leads his squad into combat against the hated space aliens, but follows the lead of of a young hipster-looking commander.
Tarkus: Bald, scarred, experienced Space Marine in a power suit with a big ass automatic rifle who leads his squad into combat against the hated space aliens, but follows the lead of of a young hipster-looking commander. Is his name Tychus, or Tarkus?
Oops, scratch those last 6 words.
Well, it’s not as if videogames nowadays are lacking in the “Bald, scarred, experienced Space Marine in a power suit with a big ass automatic rifle” department. And the ‘similarities’ between the Blizzard games and the Games Workshop franchises have been mentioned before.
Did you just suggest Warhammer 40k was ripping off Starcraft?
For Shame Sir. For shame.
Next thing you know You’ll say Tyranids are copying the Zerg…
Well, my Warcraft 3 buddy told me how the Lord of the Rings movie was totally ripping off Warcraft’s elves and orcs and etc…
I had to tell him LotR came out 50+ years ago.
Not to be a hater, which I am, but tyranids totally are cribbing zerg. Yes, I am aware the tyranids are older, but the designs on those things have changed to look more like the zerg. I would say the zerg are cribbing the arachnids. In fact starcraft and warhammer both took from ST.
I think I got emphysema just reading this… *cough cough*
How does hellboy hit the other joystick/button with that enormous hand of his? Haha, I’d assume he’d break it xD
pinball machines are sturdy things.
I see Wolverine betwixt panels 1 and 2.
Way to compensate last week’s romantic story with this week’s overly manliness-fest :p still, either way you go with this comic, it still stays the best!!!
Sgt Mgr. Johnson, the toughest, cigar chomping-est, Marine on the battlefield.
Hoorah!
oh my god
OH MY GOD IS THAT SERGEANT APONE
OH MY GOD YOU WERE MY HERO BEFORE, BUT NOW I WILL *WORSHIP* YOU
…it…it IS him, isn’t it?
It’s actually Sgt. Johnson frm Halo, but they’re baaaasically the same person.
yeah, i…kinda jumped my gun there.
everyone seems to have gotten that but me…
BUT HEY, like someone else said, they ARE both Space Marines, right?
Yes but Johnson is far more bad-ass.
We don’t speak ill of Aliens here, m’boy.
But JOHNSON.
HE DROVE A GIANT LIVING ALIEN VEHICLE AND USED IT TO CRASH INTO AN ANCIENT MACHINE THAT COULD BE USED TO DESTROY THE UNIVERSE.
But APONE!
He was in charge of a unit who unknowingly walked into a deathtrap where they literally became FOOD! He’d trained his troops so well that even after the human-chomping alien menace took him back to their hive to EAT him, the remaining troops STILL managed to hold the line and fuck the aliens’ shit up, even though they were losing! AND he did this with an annoying tight-ass higher officer breathing down his neck, before dying an extremely grisly untimely death!
also, i’m pretty sure Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley counts as +10 Badass, negating gender and thus lending everyone else sharing the movieverse with her at least five Macho points.
and she wasn’t even a Space Marine.
And she managed to survive no less than two major encounters with the space bugs when all of her compatriots died horrible nasty deaths (Alien 3 killing off the other survivors from Aliens and the bleeding Android).
Johnson ran a battalion against a force so powerful, it destroyed planets. Every human planet except Earth. He trained super soldiers for a living, while being one himself.
Dude bro don’t make me argue at you.
Mr. T? Seriously?
Too easy. It’d be like putting Chuck Norris in there, and I think the Commander’s opinion of Chuck Norris has already been made clear. :p
Eheheheh…. Always great that your buddies want to use you as a canary. Also, the back of Wolvy’s head just makes me so happy. Well, all these comics make me tremendously happy, really. But hand-knife-wielding Canadian guy just bumps it up a level.
I’m not one of those on teh intarwebz who dumps on the movie, but I think you’re right, if it’s Hannibal, you gotta use George Peppard (RIP).
I’m afraid, though, that without the strip title I wouldn’t have recognized who it was. As someone who can and has screwed up stick figures, however, I’m not going to be complaining too loudly about it. :P
Hehe, well done. I’m a big fan of the A-team.
In fact, I was just rewatching the new movie atm, but I’ve seen the whole show and planning on watching it again soon, it’s really awesome.
The movie has it’s cool points as well, but it’s not the real deal overall :D
Well I finally see Tychus Findlay.
But still…no Adeptus Astartes. Guess they’re too much to be chomping cigars.
You had me at Hellboy but you upped the ante with Hannibal, fan for life!
Damn, your art just keeps getting better and better coela…..
Also, the sheer manliness of that room would be enough to make any non-manly man to pass out without inhaling the carbon monoxide……..
Wolverine, a Starcraft marine, Commander Badass, Hellboy, Duke, Hannibal and all those other guys i couldn’t identify just seem to ooze testosterone.
Wait, did I see Lobo there too?
Also, I have just realized that panels 1 through 3 might make for a good widescreen wallpaper.
When theory is boring, just enjoy experimenting !
(Works with about every physical theorem)
I wonder if we´ll ever get an actual space marine in this game. Then again they may be too huge to get in and out through normal doors. Especially the PAULDRONS
Excellent idea for an experiment. Will talk about it with science teachers at elementary schools meetings.
HELLBOY, HELL YEAH!
Y’know, it’s probably been said before, but I can’t help but notice the impressive….er……wrinkle…..in the Commander’s pants. 0,0
This was actually something we had to do as Plebes.
On Thanksgiving we were allowed to chill out in the open for once and were allowed to converse freely with the upperclassmen. We’d get a little out of line and they’d tolerate it. Then, at an appointed hour a horn would sound and we’d all have to start bracing again and, still in our crazy Thanksgiving outfits, they’d cram all 50 or so of us into the smallest room in the company. We’d all be given cigars, or cigarettes if the cigars ran out, and told to SMOKE them. I capitalize it to emphasize how they said it, because we smoked furiously. There were people standing on the furniture, someone was about to fall out the 4th floor window, and in the middle of it someone threw up into a nalgene because he couldn’t move to the sink on account of being wedged upright by people and someone fainted from the smoke and no-one knew it until the room emptied and she fell to the floor. I tell you, I haven’t been as light-headed in my life.
The worst part of it all, dear reader, was it was my room, and the guy threw up in my roommate’s nalgene! I tell you that room stank of cigars for a week. It was great timing too, because we had an inspection that weekend.
Anyways, I just thought y’all would enjoy that seein’ as how it applies to the comic.
Cheers.
what would have been cool is if the guy “Bull” from band of brothers was included in this hotbox. He was pretty badass and he was a real person
Honestly, more often than not I shy away from using real people. Even actors I kinda keep on the low-side.
Ah, the A-Team. I remember watching it with my dad when I was little. Good times, good times…
no solid/ naked snake?
Well, Big Boss is there.
I thought Big Boss WAS Naked Snake, and Solid Snake and Liquid Snake were the clones.
Yeah, you’re right. Although I thought that guy in the 3rd panel was Snake Plisken from Escape from L.A./N.Y.
Hannibal was a success. He looks exceptionally manly without forty pounds of steak strapped to him.
So, is it bad that I recognized every single character in this comic (took me a second to figure out Haggar was Haggar)
Is the guy in the second frame Power pete :O?
If so that is an OLD reference :P
I once accidentally conducted this experiment myself. The result was two continuous hours of projectile vomiting.
I have homework for you, watch every episode of the A-Team that you can. Hannibal would fit in good, though I think B.A. wouldn’t mesh the best with these guys, unless he was kept under Hannibal’s thumb that is.
That couldn’t possible be a New Conglomerate MAX Unit splashed between panels two and three. You couldn’t be that awesome, could you?
Is that Snake Pliskin? No love for Mr. Burton?
I just love this comic, i can just seem to identify each cameo she does
Coelasquid, just keep up the awesome work, you bring manly tears to my eyes.
I think one of the signs I need to get out a little more is that I recognized every single character in this strip before I actually got to reading anything.
I also love that these are all cigar smoking badasses!
All these badass guys who I know keep showing up, it makes me feel good. Particularly Wolverine. As soon as I saw that hair, I did whatever the manly equivalent is of a fangirl squeal. THERE IS SUCH AN EQUIVALENT, DAMMIT.
D: Why is there a shortage of good muscle-y men around here? Its all skinny jeans and crap for guys now-a-days. D:<
I love the comic as a cigar smoker, gamer, and for the way you got Wolverine to hold his cigar. Is there any chance you can retroactively fix the spelling of “accommplish” in the fourth panel?
Hehe I feel so happy I actually recognize these characters XD
Even Sarg. Johnson
I’m as much a fan of Hellboy as the other ten people commenting on his appearance, but I have to ask what he’s doing here? Last I heard he was keeping pretty busy at BPRD, and it’s not like he’d need therapy with Banon or, well, anything the Manly Guys agency seems to offer.
Then again, I’m not sure what’s happening in the comic. Some kind of informal gathering? Some excuse to draw a lot of pop culture? ;)
More or less an excuse for a lot of cameos because it’s the one-year anniversary, but they’re just hanging out and smoking cigars in Commander’s garage. Nothing to do with finding jobs, just guys drinking beer and playing foosball.
Actually Hellboy would fit in really well at a Governmental funded program for people like this.
He constantly gets out and is spotted early in the series. Then he is finally shown to be real, and people go nuts. Guess maybe the Government could have used Commander to try to help him get his fill of real life with people to hang out with.
Though I bet Abe would be with him a lot.
That could work. Let’s urge Coela to convince Mike Mignola to allow Hellboy a steady role in the comic!
(truth be told, I’ve only read one volume of the comic. I’m more of a Goon fan)
Good comic. No offense, but the first three panels are a little inconsistent with the size and distance of things. Just trying to give helpful criticism.
The whole page is inconsistent in almost every way. I’ve been looking for places to live and moving the past couple weeks, so I’m staying up until seven AM and doing a crappy job to make updates happen these days.
Oh god. I thought Mike Haggar was Saxton Hale. Shows how little I know : /
I daresay that’s Snake from Escape from NY/LA not MGS
It was intended to be Big Boss, but it’s basically all the same thing.
I feel like I could totally see Starbuck sitting in that room.
What’s the hell is Haggar doing there? Haggar does not need to adjust to society. Haggar is a damn public servant/professional wrestler. He has a healthy outlet for his need to kick-ass, and he has a career based on his other talents and personality traits. His rehabilitation is surely complete.
As I said to whoever asked this earlier, there’s no rehab or jobsearching going on here, just a bunch of buddies hanging out to drink beer and play foosball.
I just wonder, does Mr. Canada smoke cigars? Or smoke at all?
Appropriately, “Mexican Slayride, part II” happened to be playing when I read this comic.
I’ve been wondering when Hellboy was gonna show up… lol
Going through this comic finding all the characters I love. Hellboy gets checked off the list! Wonder if Atomic Robo will ever show up…though I guess he’s technically not a “Man” per se…
FOr the longest time I thought the blue guy was an ultramarine.
When I first read this, I thought Hannibal was Jack Kirby.
I wanted Hannibal to say “I am NOT a canary!!”
Holy shit! Is that Snake Plissken I spy in panel 2?
ALL MY YES!
I just have to say, that unless the navy restructures the commissioned officers in the future, then Col. Smith outranks him, but since Hannibal is in civies, he’s not in much of a position to give orders.
Isn’t Hannibal on the run for a crime he didn’t commit anyway?
Y’know what’s better than Hellboy playing pinball in the corner?
Nothing.
Nothing is better than Hellboy playing pinball in the corner.
…unless he gets a triple ball bonus or something. I didn’t think this through.
just so you know, some scientists DID get several million dollars (at least) to make tiny treadmills for shrimp. (and yes, I DO mean the kind that live in the ocean.)
i have no idea what FOR, but they did it.
so you never know, you COULD possibly get money for this experiment… (label it “health” or “biology” or some crap)
Anyone else notice sergeant Johnson by the fridge in the first panel
I was about to say that Wolverine might be smaller, but then again, healing factor. He wouldn’t probably pass out until a ways after the Commander did.
either that or I’m seriously misunderstanding how healing factors work.
