“Stinging foam” is another Mystery Men reference. The last panel of this strip reminds me a little of a scene from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, where Brian shouts out of the window “You are all individuals!”, and the crowd[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Come on, you knew this would be too much fun to keep just between Science Guy and Sandstorm, right? The more the merrier, I always say. Smokescreen’s “Mama pajama!” is a tip of the hat to Mystery Men, where the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
