What the heck indeed, Ralph Wrinkles.

Ralph Wrinkles is becoming the Greek chorus of the Axe Cop world.

The plot thickens!

Hasta Mia solves the unemployment problem by turning everyone into zombies. Brilliant!

OH NO

Lobster Man is making a heroic sacrifice isn’t he :’(

In order to beat his enemy, Lobster Man must BECOME his enemy.
But where did Sockarang get that potion? Is he a potions master or something?

darker and darker!

i particularly like the image of fishy fishy grabbing that zombie’s eye!

Fishy Fish has such fun little kid proportions.

Sockarang clearly gained the knowledge when he was training to impersonate Dr. Stinky Head.  Duh.

GRAAHH! GAWAH! GAH GAH! AGAH!

Fishy Fish Zombie sounds like Calvin.

TANGLE!!!

oh man, look at wexter hiding behind that tree

No! Not Lobster Man!

Oh dear, not Lobster Man!

I have to admit that making Fishy Fish want only bad guy brains and thus leading the team to the rest of the zombies was much more clever than I expected from Sockarang.

Shouldn’t Sockarang have saved the potion to use on Hasta Mia?

This is possible one of the weirdest story arcs, but I LOVE it! And apparently those lobster danger powers are a bit faultier than Lobsterman boasted…

“...all its children and UNEMPLOYED (emphasis mine) parents into zombies.”...Priceless!

I believe the 3rd zombie from the left, may be my ex-husband. Just sayin’

Ethan…thanks for using “its” correctly.

What word did Malachai use for ‘unemployed’? I doubt a 6yr old specifically said ‘unemployed parents’. Anyway, absolutely AWESOME! I love Axe Cop’s, “Chop first, ask qusetions later” attitude.
SHPWIT!

Clearly, Malachai is using Hasta Mia as an allegory for the United States welfare system.

Also, I love how in that second-to-last panel you can totally see Lobsterman realizing that he’s going to need to rub his face in that blood.

@Paul:  both your comments made my laugh out loud.  I’m glad you caught that face.  I love when people catch the little things and mention it.

@anthony:  he said the zombies got all the kids and all the moms and dads who don’t have jobs.

NYORMF! SHPWIT! SHMUSH! TANGLE!

Oh the joy

i don’t know about you, but doesn’t it seem like it’s getting to the point where everyone’s getting a little too mutated? i mean serious freak show here, more like a chernobyl circus comic

Yep, you can clearly see on panel 5 that Lobsterman is hatching a dastardly plan… A troubled childhood is no excuse for evil Lobsterman!
