( ! ) position aside, that is one powerhouse pose! (and gunnr, well done on topping me on “joke-shock” yesterday w/ mjollnir/mjollfar!)
A Mexican hottie in a Viking, uh, “bikini”?
What’s not to like?
Not very often i get slapped by my wife for looking at a comic….too long. OWWCCHH. Quit with the nails will ya…
That’s not all that I think is in Minnesota… You’ve got Garrison Keillor and Prairie Home Companion and… uh…
…and she’s no battle axe either…monica too. Owwwchh….
Another good one! Wish I could Poit! on up there, but alas…
…hope it goes well for you!
Horned helm aside, vikings have never looked so good
I wanna be… her Sledgehammer
Moments later, Amethyst Shadow wish was granted. His head was repeatedly smashed against a brick wall.
Pretty much every kind of cleavage there is, I approve, very spathic!
I had to go look up the word.
Looks like you’ve changed Monica’s proportions for this picture. Or that she’s secretly taken up tight lacing or misplaced her ribcage.
I haven’t liked M’s longer neck and torso she’s had lately. She’s been looking like a mini tall person.
(Sorry Pablo)
Monica’s always been tiny in the waist and non-breast chest region. It’s just usually hidden behind mounds of man-teasing flesh.
She wears around a 30G, 28H, or (more recently) a 26I.
Boy, as horny as Monica’s been these days, Kevin must be really happy!
I think I can relate…
Well, at least he’s got handlebars now!
That’d be nice if I could make it to the Con .
Great artwork and colouring, Pablo!
What’s old Norse for Ha-cha-cha?
Arrrgh. If I weren’t “between jobs” at the moment, I’d totally be on the next powered vehicle to St. Paul. Winnipeg (Canada) isn’t that far away.
Apologies for the double-post, but I just thought of another hammer-wielding-babe joke that cannot be passed up. *ahem*
I’ve heard of “WarHammer 40K,” but THIS is too much!!
*dodges tomatoes*
Monica’s got quite a pair of… horns, there.
Huge… tracts of land!
I can’t believe that everyone forgot what else in in Minnesota besides the Vikings – The Twins!
(slinking away)
Congrats, you made me choke on my water
Hmmm…my uncle, an old navy gunner said those “shells” would do the USS Montana (if it was built) proud. But yet again the IJN Yamato sported 18.1 inchers.
An my cousin, who is a navy corpman home from dodging Iraqi bullets thought they could be used to crush walnuts.. I don’t think he was referring to the hammer either.
I really like these colored ones that Paul does.
Whew…finished the archives! Totally worth it!
Hey, maybe Kevin did the ‘photoshoot’ for Springcon and talked Monica into posing – then thes latest two strips could be worked into the story……(hint)
Just got back from SpringCon. Paul was great, but Wapsi Square is still not very well known.
VOT E! VOTE! VOTE!
I got two books, sketch book, posters. Paul did an inked sketch for me of Monica and her personal emotional demon.
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
Wanted to stay longer, but I need to sleep so I can work tonight.
Coffee IV(That’s eyevee, to you) on schedule to start dripping in six hours!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
if there are any pictures of people cosplaying this… PLEASE POST THEM!!!
