And so capitalism was born. Brilliant.

I’m a chemist, why wasn’t I informed of this need prior!

Yesterday, after reading an article about all the reboots and sequels Hollywood’s cranking out this year, I put my head in my hands in despair and said Ok.  That’s it.  There’s no more new ideas left in this world.

...And then I read this page.

... How much do chemists cost? That might take a while at $2/stunt…

I’m sure the cost of gas of doing those stunts far outpaced the money he received in return. Renting a chemist and two helicopters doesn’t come cheap… For two dollars a stunt, he would have been better off selling his car to begin with. Come to think of it, how does he have a car like that and not have any money? He must have spent it all on pimping it out.

As for Axe Cop, he should ask for a raise. I mean, he is a policeman.

Politicians and economists should be taking notes here. This seems like a great way to get money from other countries.

“What you want to see our top end fighter jets blow up a water melon with an air to surface guided missile? That’ll be $2,000,000,000 please.”

Bat Warthog Man has proven himself to be far more inventive than Axe Cop. This kind of money-making scam would make Ed, Edd and Eddy salivate in jealousy.

@Smart Alec
They probably just didn’t have money with them.

What’s this, a plan that DOESN’T involve massive amounts of violence? Now THAT is a twist.

Also, I bet that pressing the “HORNS” button actually makes the car sprout gigantic, sharp horns rather than the honk honk sort of horns.

Haha, I totally thought the stunts were a distraction so they could steal the helicopters. I did think it was weird that they’d actually steal something though, and I’m glad they didn’t. :D

I love how the night watchman has enough money to actually buy helicopters and a chemist.

This is Axe Cop World. Axe Cop buys a Poop Sucker Gun that sucks up an entire PLANET made of poop for one dollar. The weapon store on the beach sells golden chainsaw blades for whatever Sockarang carries in his socks. The point is that after maybe two stunts, Axe Cop and Batwarthog Man probably had enough money to buy two helicopters, a chemist, and another weapon or two. I appreciate being reminded that dinosaurs are free. Been meaning to replace my Pterodactyl, but I was afraid I didn’t have enough money

So how many stunts did this take?

For sake of argument we’ll say the helicopters cost $500k two helicopters is $1m a chemist salary, say 80k that’s $1,080,000 so that works out to 540,000 stunts.
All in a nights work I guess.

Awesome. Gotta love those filthy rich security guards.

Did you base the guard on Patton Oswalt?

Dinosaurs are free? Awesome!

@sam i based it on me actually.  James and John said they wanted to see me put myself in the comic as an extra so I did.  No beard and a hat sort of disguises it though.

lol the first panel is incredibly epic. Insane Jumps while discussing finances.

“What about dinosaurs?”
“They don’t cost money!”
I approve! By far my favorite panel.

*draws parallel between $2 stunts and gold farming in mmorpgs*

I’m glad that they have enough morals to just stick with bribing the guard.  Stealing the helicopters while he was distracted would have been immoral. 

I’ve seen some bad addictions in my life.. but losing thousands of dollars in stunt-watching beats them all..

@coldfusion haha yes you could say they were immoral because they took advantage of a stunt addict and ran him out of house and home.  I bet he went home that night and tried to explain it to his wife and his marriage is back on the rocks.

That is the finest moon I’ve ever seen!
