You know, I really “hate” talented people and Aidan Casserly of the comic “Scapula” seems to be a really “hated” person! Aidan has come through again this year with a terrific piece of guest art for my break, and since he was the first one in, he gets published first. I’m kinda simple that way.
There will be more guest art next week!
Now that Summer has arrived officially (Summer Solstice was yesterday for us Northern Hemisphere folk), nothing says summertime rock then the old San Fransisco heavy metal band Blue Cheer. I remember seeing photos of this power trio standing in front of what seemed like a wall of Marshall amps. Probably only two amps, but for my young eyes (1968) it seemed like a lot. And speaking of 1968, this was the year that saw this song hit #14 on the Billboard charts and also saw “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro hit #1. It was an odd year for sure. From pop syrup to psychedelic rock! A great year to be 11 for sure. I had also discovered Playboys in my Uncle’s basement. Nice…
Anyway, crank this sucker up and annoy the hell out of your office mates, they’ll love you for it!

That is amazing work Aidan. (you shithead – I hate you and your talented pencil..haha)
I love the guy in the lower right who’s googling the chick’s naked boobies. Classic joke in a joke stuff. Plus, some guy on the left is NOT a fan of Mr. Scapula as he’s giving the one-finger salute to him.
🙂
I completely missed the boob guy.
“Boob Guy”?!! What is this, ‘Fight Club’?
Check out the live Alice Cooper concert DVD “Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper”; there’s some jackass in the front row of the audience who repeatedly screams, “F___ you!” to Alice. Then Alice shouts, “I’M GONNA BREAK THIS GUY’S ARM!”
Ah, concert days.
OMG, Aidan, that is TOO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a scene stealer you are!! 🙂
I know, the little bastard! Now I gotta do something for him, but I’m not that kind of colorist at all. So I’ll have to “wow” his readers with my BS.
🙂
Thank you, Pam!
This is awesome! I think this is the first time Scapula has people cheering for him. Maybe he should rock out more often. 😉
They’re cheering for Bud…. just saying… 🙂
Thank you, Patricia! The folks in the crowd are hopped up on cheap beer, so they’ll probably cheer (or fight) anything!
This is absolutely amazing. Great, great job Aidan. Just WOW!!!
Wow says it all, man…
Glad you enjoy, man!
Very cool picture!
The Alice Cooper-esque guillotine wins me over every time!
Hells yeah!
Thats it, I quit! I can’t compete with this! *grin* …. WOW! Aiden, I gotta say, not bad! AND by not bad, I mean that is a wicked awesome piece of guest art”! o.O
Wow and wicked… let’s keep the “w” exclamations coming!
What’s weawwy wice of wou, wynksie!…okay, enough of that.
OMG, this is AWESOME! Aidan, I always love your big, postery panels and pages and this one is no exception. WONDERFUL!
More “w” exclamations! Yes! 🙂
And from a Wikan to a Wilkins! W’s rule…
Aww, thankyuh Samantha!
I have to admit the drawing style does nothing at all for me, but the colouring is fantastic!
Fair enough. At least those Crayolas didn’t go to waste!
You can colour my screen any time, dude! 😉
Right, I’ve had a long look at Scapula in his own home. Your chosen style still doesn’t and probably never will speak to me, but I tip my many hats to you in respect for a job well done. Fun storylines. Also, ALICE. Also, you made me snarfle tea all over the keypad at ‘Prefers pitching…’ 😀
Honest replies are always appreciated. Rock on!
This piece catches the perfect moment, Aidan. Great work! Love the guillotine behind Scapula, heh. Byron. looking forward to the new storyline!
Thank ya, Zombie Man!
Scapula reminds me of King Diamond in this pic.
I was thinking just the same thing! King Diamond put on the best metal show I ever went to!

This thing screams Cooper man.
Damned right, rock fan!
Byron, glad you enjoyed the artwork and thanks for the shout-out! Everyone keep on rocking and support your favorite webcartoonists…they all love you, too!
Aidan Casserly is EVERYWHERE! I need to dust off my work ethic and do it The Casserly Way. This man is an artistic locomotion. Good work, man!
“Aidan Casserly is EVERYWHERE!”…they’ll shout that if I’m ever blown up by a bazooka.
Thank you kindly, George. I wish I could recommend ‘The Casserly Way’, but it mostly consists of looking for more work, grumbling a lot and drinking too much coffee!
Hmm… no updates in quite awhile. Hope everything is ok.

I’m returning August 1st with new comics and stuff! Almost there!
