Hahaha, Scip's expression in the second panel is classic!

Okay, this is about the reclamation taking over buildings in the oarlock, isn't it ?

GOD, that guys a douche. He's not even real and I wanna wring his neck. And as always Scip has the best facial expressions. Him an' Sunny. Him an' Sunny an' Mose. Him an' Sunny an' Mose an' Gene.

Did Gene get boobs when he squealed like a fangirl? It's subtle, but it seems to be there.

I have to say, I prefer Scip's show. But then, I AM a geek. :D

Gene? Gene's not in this. That's Pippi, Scip's roommate, for whom it might be perfectly expected to squeal like a fangirl and have boobs while doing it, being a teenaged girl and all.

So THAT'S where MTV's Jesse Camp went.

Nice to know Scip and I have the same reaction to Mr. Collision. Good lord. He's like if Morbo were a gay hindu punk.

OK, no-one else seems to have mentioned this, sooooo...
You know there is pretty much a real-life 'Master Wu' show, right?
Ask any Australian between 20 and 35 about 'Monkey', and you will instantly hear the words 'the nature of monkey was... IRREPRESSIBLE!!' That's because we all watched it. ALL of us.
Monkey. It's a late 70's Japanese show about Indian mythology set in China. Truly. And as such, caused more confusion in English speaking primary schools than anything else before or since.
Basically, 'Monkey' (aka Hanuman, an old monkey God), Pisgy (a pig spirit), and Sandy (a people-eating water demon) have to accompany the monk Tripitaka (aka 'Master Trippy' - no joke) to collect sacred scrolls. They fight various ghosts and demons on their way, while learning the Buddha's true path.
It's good stuff. Get into it.

In the UK we too love Monkey. The dubbing was terrible and most of the translations made no sense. But on the plus side Monkey has some serious sideburns going on. Basically a very cheap tv version of one of china's oldest storys, Journey to the West.

Nicky ain't gay.
Nicky is an evil little pimp, is what he is.
Nicky has gotten a television show out of the realization that if you work the assumption that you're hot shit hard enough, your baseless contempt for everyone and everything that is not you becomes an aerosolized fuck-me virus.
Prince does the same thing.

All of the facial expressions here are brilliant. But I especially love how Nicky Collision's face in the final panel tells you just about everything you'll ever need to know about him.
I mean, just LOOK at him.

America seems to be the only place on Earth that DIDN'T get that show. My Dominican girlfriend asked me about it once and the only response I had was a badly mispronounced "¿Que?"

Man, I really didn't needed to be reminded of Ruby Rhod. Those are horrible painful memories.

1> Something about the presentation of Master Wu made me assume it was based on Xena or some other Raimi-eqsue mid-90's series. Still, I am totally going to start downloading Monkey now.
2> Scip's reaction = my reaction
3> Ruby Rhod was never that crude.
4> "¿Que?" can be mispronounced as "Q?"

I think "I am comin' to y'all straight out of a bowl of alphabet soup, because babies, I am DELICIOUS" may very well be the best line ever spoken, written, or thought.

If the bastard child of Prince and Perez Hilton had illicit sex with Chris Tucker, the end result would be something like Nicky Collision. Beautifully grotesque, inside and out.

Agreed. I hate everything else about this guy, [well... I do kind of like how he delivers the news] but I have to respect him just because he decided to sit in a man-sized bowl of alphabet soup. It is lateral thinking like that that makes men legends.

"Master Wu" isn't an adventure show, I don't think. I got the impression that it was like Judge Judy or Jerry Springer - two people with grievances would go onto the show and argue their cases.
Only, instead of mediating the dispute he'd just beat the crap out of both of them and then preach a bit of scripture to justify it. I could be way off though.
As for Nicky Collision, you're all just jealous of his clearly god-like awesomeness. ;)
*squeals and claps her hands, giggling at Nicky in a soup bowl* *is wearing a "I fucked Nicky Collision and all I got was this Tshirt..." t-shirt that reads "...and syphillis." across the back.
(And yeah, it's totally re: reclamation. I hope Dove takes those commy hosers to TOWN. *throws up the horns*)

Best. Templar. Evar.
Is everyone else still at dinner that went, timeline-wise? It would be fun for them to run into Nicky... or over him, i'm easy

I'm pretty sure it's the morning after, based on Scip's fresh clothes and cereal eating.
Of course, Moze might still be "at dinner" if you know what I mean.

we got some variation of that monkey show in Canada too, because i definitely recall that bein rebroadcast when i was a kid.
finally, i have to say it, am i the only one who frequently has no idea what's goin on in this comic?
i love the characters, they are freaking fantastic, but sometimes i find i am runnin a complete blur to everything beyond the expressly obvious.
am i alone in this?

piet:
Go back to the beginning, and re-read it. Then re-read it backwards. Then break for lunch, and read it again in order with all the comments.
Then you'll not only understand it, you'll start seeing stuff that you didn't even know was there.

Spike, I'd love to see Nicky and Moze interact at some point if it fits in with what you're doing. They're two sides of the same person. It would be amazing.

Yeah, Spike seems to really like that cards-close-to-the-breast technique that means you have to pay attention and occasionally go back to catch any foreshadowing. As an avid reader of fiction, I've learned to catch a lot of it, but at least there's this group of us who post in here, sort of MST3K-ing the entire thing, except with more "Spike is great" then snark.

I am not enjoying this "show" and the strip focusing on it lately.
No offense but this arc is the weakest and least interesting of all of them so far.
I am seriously tempted to just wait until you are done with it, skimming it for anything important later and moving on to better stuff.
Sorry, it is just turning me off your comic :(
(the page loads to oh god not more of that again)

Best Strip Ever.
Man, that man has Mouth!
I bow to the intellect who can be that... profane and sacredly funny!
Okay, now where is that scruffy old coyote again?

I think the television shows in Templar are not for everyone. *comforting pats for Brian* No worries, Bri-bri. This too shall pass!
I think Nicky's great.

First off, Chris Tucker as Ruby was excellent.
Second off, if that guy was making a show IRL, I would want to punch him (I envision his voice to be a bad impression of chris tuckers ruby and chris rock rolled into one)
Third off, Clutch. New Years Eve. Baltimore. Just cuz its important.
