Whoah! Rick is back to his previous, long-haired form! Then again, it may not be Rick but just moonman who looked like the old Rick :P

James Yeamans will be happy. A few months ago he wanted to here more of the moon men and their struggle to acquire Earth's gravity supplies.

So I suppose, in the end, the details *are* important.

Eh, seems too much a copy of the jokes from the first Austin Powers movie.

Thank you, kind sir. I needed a laugh.

As soon as I see "old Ric" in his magnificent robe I start laughing. And in the case of this strip, I didn't stop laughing until...well, I'm still laughing. Classic, man.

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterI am Tubby, yes.

Isn't it "tortuous" and not "torturous"? Anyway, nice one Scott. Keep up the awesomeness.

What's with old Rick? Does new Rick not exist in the future?

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAmanda

Torturous: having to do with torture.
Tortuous: winding, twisting, crooked.

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commentermissy

very very very funny. i truly hope your vision of the future will come to pass!

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterwhiterabbit11

Maybe the true torture is the use of excessive "that"'s! Funny strip, though.

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterkevdonahoe

I think old Rick is there because Scott did not want to redraw Rick.

Good strip. I love Rick and the robe.

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCBS

What, no one or no animal kicked in the junk today? :-)

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterEric

I had to resist the urge to bust out laughing the minute the page loaded and I saw Moon-Man Rick. I always love these strips; they're so absurd.

Don't mess with da Missy!

This has to be one of the funniest BI strips in several months.

July 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAlexR

good to the last drop...wait, wrong coffee commercial tag line...

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterJiggly McSickfingers

THERE'S NO SUBTLE WAY TO SHOOT A MAN WITH A &%$@ING KILL RAY!

Yet another amazingly choice line by the emperor of the moon men.

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterAnother Rob

Great! Rear Admiral Rocket Hat once again got a genuine laugh out of me.

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterTrustButVerify

That's exactly the post I was about to make! Ya beat me to it. I just burst into a laughing fit at that point :D

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterCookie

I think there needs to be a proper "How to" for evil villains.
How to deal with pesky heros -
Step 1) Don't skimp on the restraints. Yes, you may come off as a kinky bondage queen but it's better that than having the hero escape and ruin your plans.
Step 2) Don't gloat more than is really neccessary, and DON'T tell him your plans - that's just asking for trouble.
Step 3) Execute him yourself, no leaving incompetant lackeys to do the job. Nothing fancy, nothing elaborate, the cold hard efficiency of a bullet to the head is the only way to go.
Step 4) Send the body back to hisparent agency in pieces - sounds yucky but really gets the message across. Puts other would be heros off as well.
hmmm, maybe a bit too dark for BI come to think of it...

So is the Emperor's elaborate overcoat like a kilt? Such that he would not be wearing underwear. Just wondering that after I saw his knobbly knees in the first panel.

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterIntenseBordom

I hadn't even started reading and I was laughing! The visuals on this one are just hilarious... those stupid rockets!

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterVictoria

If you fired the rockets, wouldn't your ears get burned? And if you had the chinstrap, seems like you'd risk hanging yourself. Guess that's why they call them super heroes.

July 13, 2009 | Unregistered Commentersnowdog

and not a word about the lackey wearing pajamas! huh! Love the return of "old Ric(k)" as the Moonmen Emperor... well, frankly, I do much prefer "old Ric(k)" to the newer-but-older Ric(k) anyway, and how long have we waited for the Magnificent Robe?
