Monkey Squad One #4. Pages 14, 15, 16 & B4WeGo




WHAT THE FUCK??????!!!!
Dr Metropolis is running U.N.C.L.E.?
S.I.S. is Monkey Squad Two?
Monkey Squad One is on the run?
And where the hell is U.N.C.L.E. Doug?
Find out in two weeks when "Family First" begins in
Monkey Squad One #5!

P.S.
I was complimented by a reader for my original view of time-travel. That time kept moving forward on our Earth while the boys were traveling through time.
I'll tell y'all like I told him... that shit is SO from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Logan was a huge Ben 10 nut.
He's totally over it now.

The first time you ever hear about Connor & Logan being brothers is on page 14, when he says, "mom" not "your mom."

Dr. Metropolis has the Death Cannon last seen in Issue #2.

U.N.C.L.E. Travis' disclaimer page was an attempt to mollify my sisters because this issue had been way more violent than all the previous issues combined. Which is funny because this issue has NOTHING on the Zombie arc (#7-#9) which has all sorts of dismemberments and brain-eating.

NEXT WEEK: Issue #4 Extras!
Sketches and thumbnails and whatever other stuff I can find.
It'll be cool.

HollaHollaHolla!

Monkey Squad One #4. Pages 12 & 13.



The Journey Through the MonkeyVerse concludes...
with a visit to my high-school.
I graduated high-school in 1995. I had the haircut where I had long hair but the underneath was shaved to the skin. And I always wore it in a ponytail which was super-classy.
So, in panel 3 on page 1, it's me in the middle with my high-school buddies Jeff Kidder and Jared Thompson.
If you're wondering, Monkey Squad One, does indeed, beat high-school Doug's ass in front of his high-school. They talk about it in Issue #6 and the upcoming #10.
The last thing about page 12...look how Brendan, Connor and Logan are all looking out of the driver's-side window and talking about U.N.C.L.E. Doug being lame. But in the top panel, the Hot Rod Time Machine is parked as such, that the driver's-side window is facing AWAY from the school. The boys are actually looking at and referencing toward the parking lot.
That's just me fucking up, y'all. It's gonna happen plenty.
Page 13 is handy because I put the date I printed this issue in the comic. That kind of shit is kind of hard to remember.

Next week! Issue #4 FINALE! Extra Jumbo Sized Edition of Monkey Squad Monday!
Tell your friends!

Monkey Squad One #4. Pages 10 & 11.



The tour through the MonkeyVerse continues!

The Nexus of All Realities is a Marvel Rip-Off (It's where Man-Thing lives). I said a few posts ago that I rip-off all kinds of shit and here's another example.

The characters in this panel are as follows (From L to R, From Back to Front):
*Fantastic Four Monkey Squad One
*Teenage Hillbilly Monkey Squad One
*Robot Monkey Squad One
*Girl Monkey Squad One
*Original Monkey Squad One
*Black Monkey Squad One
*Baby Monkey Squad One
*Monkey Monkey Squad One

They'll all be back eventually. As to where the "nexus" is and who brought them all there, you'll find out (for the most part) in next summer's Monkey Squad One Annual #2.

But we ain't done yet, folks! That was just the 1st panel!

The Killer-Snowman Earth is a shout-out to Bill Watterson and his amazing Calvin & Hobbes.

Zombie-Earth was my response to the overwhelming demands from my nephews to put Zombies in the comic. I wouldn't be able to start the real Zombie story for another year and was tired of their bitching, so all they got was a taste.

All-Girl Earth was my attempt at embarrassing my nephews. Little did I know that it would be the setting for Monkey Squad One #10-12.


Thanks for reading! Next week: The penultimate posting for Issue #4!

Monkey Squad One #4. Pages 8 & 9.



The pissed-off moon will be back in the final story-arc!

The Squid-Face-Nazi-Aliens will be back sooner than you think!
If you're the kind of person who would think about stuff like that.

 Next week...More shit like this!
