Our final guest artist is Vincent Kukua. As always, you may check out a higher-resolution version of this strip over on the GoComics mirror. Shaenon returns on September 15th!
As mentioned by someone else, the art style is quite cool. It somehow reminds me of early 20th century newspaper comic art.
If a security guard had been around The Sword in the Stone, King Arthur would just have been another stableboy…
…And good riddance, too.
If his idea in the second panel had worked, he would have had to cede power entirely to Wrenchie and then act as Wrenchie’s second-in-command.
(TUNE: “Holding Out For A Hero”, Bonnie Tyler)
Checking out the Naha Stone, and Jonah wants to try …
Try to lift the doggone thing, and Nera’s asking “Why?”
Jonah’s seen America, a country split in two!
Re-uniting ev’ryone is what he wants to do!
He’s not a hero!
He’s not a mystical hero, he’s failing the test!
Even using his wrench,
Jonah isn’t a mensch
But he won’t be deterred from his quest!
He’s not a hero!
Kamehameha the Hero was first and was best!
And the cop on the scene
Is about to get mean!
Jonah’s gonna be under arrest!
Under arrest …
Any hero worth his salt gets arrested for making a scene at LEAST once. Well behaved people seldom make history after all.
I, for one, welcome our new Wrenchie overlord!
They need a hero like Project Skinhorse, with their moderate incompetence and tendency to almost blow everything up once a mission… On second thought, maybe they can, like, zombify Kamehameha and use him as a poster zombie for uniting humans and non-humans or something…?
Problem with that is that even to this day Kamehameha I grave is still hidden in a secret location and undiscovered. One of the last secret resting places in the world.
He’s almost got it . . . he’s almost got it . . . he’s almost got it . . . he got it!!
Jonah now has a hernia almost as big as that rock. No wonder that guards keep people from trying to move it.
