epic.

"A game that's played differently depending on where you live."
... that's actually the best explanation of football I've ever heard.

Love the first panel. Not just because it has Rocket Hat in it. But that helps.

April 28, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterOz

Mmm, Madden...

..Oh, sorry, was diverted there for a second.

loved it!

I would like a t-shirt of the moon empress. Thank you for your cooperation.

"They've never had to."

You started with the best punch line. "The one called 'Madden'" is potentially funnier, but it loses points for being so terrifying. It's as if Jason Vorhees put down his chainsaw and stated a standup routine - however funny he might be, you'd be too scared to laugh.

Why yes, that IS a telestrator in my pocket!

Fantastic, I can now distract myself for hours!

April 28, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterC B

A punchline in every panel! Bravo.

MY EYES!! The mental image of John Madden in "something slinky" has seared my retinas. It burns like the red-hot fire of a thousand suns. Oh -- I got distracted. . .

Scantily-clad Madden. WILL NO ONE GET THAT IMAGE OUT OF MY HEAD?!

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered Commentermisterfweem

Rocket Hat?

Rocket Hat!

ROCKET HAT!!!!

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPetoo

The first panel was the best!

I've often wondered about the "real" Rick. He must be either a really good friend, a really good enemy, or imaginary.

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterPeter

Gah! A scantily clad Madden! I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Chicagoed? I usually scorn the grammar nazis, but it's just Chicago Bears.

Note from Scott: Yes, the Emperor is working with faulty intelligence. It's sort of a running joke between Missy and me to call Spiderman "Spidered-man." This sort of came from that.

"Chicagoed-Bears"?

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterIan

Thanks! Panel 3 actually made me laugh out LOUD! Too bad for me I am at work & now people are staring at me. I've got some splaining to do....


Good think we're all geeks.

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered Commentermohrorless

I think I have to give it to United. If you're not a Mank, you're a Wank!

I just noticed the legs in the first panel and started laughing. But then it occurred to me that there is less gravity on the moon so of course he'd have skinny legs.

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterStarthinker

The one think I just can't stand about Rocket Man is how he never seems to shut up. It's always, "Blah, blah, blah" with him.

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterDavid

Yay! Rocket Hat!

And Steve: In that case I'd be too scared to not laugh.

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterThalia

Well, if Chicagoed Bears is intentional, then I'd have to go with Manchester. To call them Chicagoed sounds like they've been overfed on deep dish pizza...

April 29, 2011 | Unregistered CommenterHari

A Madden joke--I did not see that one coming.
