The second one looks homebrew. Good luck tracing that. The first is damned interesting though...looks professional and military. Lion...didn't Saddam's regime feature lion logos?

They're not *speaking* Spanish, they're just creepin' across the border. They only need to look Mexican at a distance through some Border Patrol agent's binoculars, that'd be easy enough for a whitey never mind a middle easterner. Border Patrol can't hunt down every Mexican crosser and they don't re...

First, I think the sobbing and all was real. She didn't know he was there. Second, she's got to have a certain respect for and downright fear of him now. He went toe to toe with a whole human mob and came out with his skin, now he's gone all pyrotechnical on her. Note too that after birdshotting the...

What I like best is his expression in the second-to-last panel. Dear GOD is that one POed little furperson.

Good thing he had a couple days to calm down before running into that crazy chick again.

So much for Quentyn having killed a buncha hoomans. As to this nutty chick, best to walk away. I doubt he will, but...there ain't no WAY it'll be safe to sleep near her. If you can't trust somebody not to mess with you or your stuff while asleep, you can't be around them and if they insist, you must...

I believe we are about to see the ancient martial art of "Toe-Fu".

Quentyn is going to dial up half a dozen doses of pain and plant 'em in that big barsterd's right foot.

You know what that elfshot thing needs?

What's interesting is that there's a bit of bad blood between David Hopkins and Ralph. Ralph isn't too fond of David's pro-gay thing, and isn't real keen on the moral sense overall of "Jack". David on the other hand stopped linking to "Nip and Tuck" right as the "border patrol movie sequence" was en...

Look at his eyes in that last frame. That is one pissed-off little furball. She tries to keep running, it'll be with him tearin' her apart as she goes down the road.

In my studies of the various "Indian wars" (often a poor choice of words, I realize) it became obvious that the nations that put up the best fights against European encroachment had something in common: low levels of "xenophobia" and a basic ability to get along with their neigbors. These peaceful t...

Well the push-pull effect is more stable. No question. It's directly derived from how you handle a long-gun, pulling it into the shoulder, and THAT they definately know!

As to recoil that first time he fired it there sure looked to be SOMETHING going on!

You are absolutely wrong about "cupping" with the off-hand. Whoever taught you that was flat wrong. The fingers of the off-hand go around the front of the grip on top of the shooting hand fingers. If he's really doing it right he's pushing forward with the strong hand (errr...yeah, "paw") and pullin...

No, wait, Quentyn gets to select the number of SEQUENTIAL shots, not "all at once". Recall him firing at the rat-wrights in "full auto", clearly a burst-sequence. It's the same thing now, he can just select the length of the firing sequence. If Ralph knew more about guns he might have set it up as t...

Elf maybe? Remember, Quentyn carries an "Elf-shot" submachinegun.

(Sorry about that last term but it's clip-fed, select-fire, it's a subgun. Deal with it :)).
