Woo! I am definitely not afraid of the fucking DENTIST

Hehe, nice.

anyone ever actually do shots of scope? its the only scenario where you vomit uncontrollably and can still make out with a girl in the following seconds.

No, but they drank Listerine at my high school.

I hate people.

I'd love to see what type of girls will make out with a dude who puked 10 seconds ago. I have no doubt they exist, I just want to see them.

They're best to be looked at only AFTER you drink the scope.

I feel the same way about hot lesbians.
jollysaintpete » neu 3 weeks ago
actually the scope isn't totally necessary for that...[i]promise

hah, i wanted italics, but that worked out better than most code failures...

First Lyle in Misfits shirt, first Sex funeral. An historic strip.

Note for the interested: Scope is not a good thing to be intoxicated by.

I never want to see a band's first gig, even if there is Scope.

Another four, but yeah, the strip being Cornelius and Todd's adventures really weirds me out. I wonder if Cornelius was really old from the get-go.

the bathrobe and pince-nez seem to indicate "well-aged, like scotch."

Listerine is $2.
jokercross » neu 1 years ago
That is way too much for scope.

Lyle gets so drunk he shits himself.
rapid_roy » neu 1 years ago
Every band starts somewhere; I guess Lyle played for hobos in an alley.

I wonder what kind of scummy venue of a dive bar Lyle's gig is at. At least now Lyle wears a T-shirt.

It was called the Moonlight Café. It was a barn with the roof blown off.

The band is called "Sex Funeral" and they charge $1 for a shot of Scope. This is the kind of gig where if you still have all your teeth at the end of the night, you got RIPPED OFF.
max » neu 1 years ago
Now that's my kind of funeral.

Teodor is ENORMOUS here.

The moustache no longer resembles a stealth bomber.
em2 » pro 2 weeks ago
Yeah, and the Misfits shirt is in place too. All that's missing is a bottle of booze (or Scope).

You know, I always assumed the Scope meant that whatever was going to happen was going to leave the worst taste imaginable in the viewer's mouth, to the point where paying a buck for a shot of Scope sounded like a reasonable proposition. The alcoholic content sailed passed me like a poorly-aimed paper airplane.

I think it may be better that way.

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure.
lokier » neu 11 months ago
a dollar a scope shot is pretty expensive, non?
spectre » neu 11 months ago
See, you don't have to present an ID to buy a bottle of scope . . . and if they catch, like a whole bunch of 17-year-olds all Scoped out, the cops still ca'nt make a bust. Strategy, man. Strategy is everything.

I performed a show as Sex Funeral. It was awesome. We got in a lot of trouble because we said that all the other bands playing at CBGBs Downstairs Lounge that night were awful and that we were the best band in the world. The next band shoved their amp at one of my band guys and argued with us.

for some reason, i find that a great story.

chubbied.

i'll take 3!

For a relatively minor character, Lyle has undergone more bodily and facial hair-related transformations from Then to Now than anyone. More than Star Jones, even.
pillbot » pro 6 months ago
haha...we did shots of Scope in junior high...it was free.
envika » neu 6 months ago
Mr. Bear clearly disapproves of Scope. Because Listerine is better.
gbeaton » pro 6 months ago
A shot of Scope is better than a shot of Aqua Velva, this is truth.

Sex Funeral-A band for which I have the greatest respect.

Lyle came into his own with this strip.

Kids be all at drinking mouthwash for the 'alcohol' around my little nephew's hangouts. Honestly, if they laced milk with LSD and charged a dollar a shot NOBODY would ever get calcium deficiency. It's a big problem where I come from. Brittle bones. Gran has it.

Moloko plus is where it's at.
odweed » pro 2 months ago
Should be closer to 5 :)
thatgunskid » pro 2 months ago
that was great.
aristagoras » pro 2 months ago
This is the first glimpse of the true Lyle. Even with the strip no longer worried about preserving a concept of housebound stuffed animals, it's still quite Lyle to sell Scope shots.
