Monkey Squad One #10. Pages 9 & 10.

This scene is one of my favorites. But so is next week's so don't put too much stock in my opinion.

We're reminded that Dr. Metropolis isn't so bad & that Logan is really still an 11 year old.

P.S. Kimbo Shrekenegger would be an awesome webcomic.

NEXT WEEK!

RIDING IN CARS WITH BOYS!

Monkey Squad One #10. Pages 7 & 8.

I debated long and hard about what song U.N.C.L.E. Doug was gonna sing as he walked into this scene. He's singing a line from the song "Surf City" by The Beach Boys from, like, fucking 1961 and I really thought I should find a song that was a bit more contemporary. So, I left the balloon blank until the last minute & as usual, went with the original idea. I don't regret it at all. I've referred to pop culture shit like iCarly & that's already irrelevant. At least a song that's 50 years old can't get more played out than it already is!

In current Monkey Squad One news, I'm 2 & a half pages away from finishing the inks on the Annual #2 and the story I'm currently inking takes place immediately after this scene! It's a 2 page story called "Fish Girls Don't Cry" & it's pretty fucking hilarious!

NEXT WEEK:

Dr. Metropolis makes Logan cry!

Monkey Squad One #10. Pages 5 & 6.

Current readers of Monkey Squad One can maybe see some greater significance in this scene seeing how #12 played out. Those of you that read MS1 here will just have to wait until the summer to see what I mean!

NEXT WEEK:

THE JOURNEY TO ALL-GIRL EARTH BEGINS!

Monkey Squad One #10. Pages 3 & 4.

This scene was really tricky to write. It really relies on readers having read the earlier issues of MS1. See, the boys are recounting their off-world adventure from issue #4 to U.N.C.L.E. Doug. They mention visiting an All-Girl Earth in the Hot Rod Time Machine that they drove during the adventure & Doug immediately knows where he can get a Hot Rod Time Machine of his own because he used to ride in one when he was a member of Monkey Squad Zero. (Read the Monkey Squad Zero adventure from MS1 Annual #1 here.) Doug heard Brendan mention how he powered up the Hot Rod (which happened back in #4 here) and Doug realizes he's seen the car they're talking about before (back in #4 here) and puts it all together. 

We'll see how he plans on powering up the Hot Rod Time Machine next week!

Page 3 also marks the first appearance of Professor Metropolis. I know in price guides & stuff they note if the character is "in shadow" but fuck technicalities, there he is.

We'll see more of him in the upcoming Monkey Squad One Annual #2!

NEXT WEEK:

U.N.C.L.E. Doug & Logan say goodbye!
