Death Squad Rides
I think every person dips in and out of an amorphous blob phase throughout their life. In my own experience, it's usually when I'm embarrassed to admit that I like something others will think is "uncool". Like the other day, I was hanging out with my motorcycle gang at our gang hide-out. And they were all talking about motorcycles and stuff, and I was just like: "Yeah — motorcycles are awesome." Then Oilcan was like "Let's ride, Death Squad." So I told them I had to go to the bathroom, and I'd meet them outside. I have to do this every time because I'm scared of motorcycles, and I don't actually have one. Which is fortunate, because once they get outside and there's no riderless cycle, they assume I'm out there and zoom off.

It was just really bad gas, wasn't it?
I bet Senior Blob is regretting that extra-spicy chimichanga he had for lunch.
Not the first chap to succumb to the noisy killer: SCES (Sudden Chimichanga Explosion Syndrome).

Wha...?
Que...?
You ...?
This is nuts, so very very nuts.... and I like it!
Does that make me a squirrel?

Oilcan got you into the Death Squad! Oh, man... he told me I would have to start out in the Seriously Injured Squad.

I wonder what movie they had just seen? Spiderman 3? Stealth? Road house?
What ever happened to Swayze, anyway? I bet after Havana Nights he exploded, too.

Henrik - That depends. What does your tail look like?
Gerren - They're BOTH good squads.
Testmonkey - I believe he's working on Ghost 2: The ReGhostening.

Y’know… Blobby’s not really saying he doesn’t dig the skanks because they look like skanks, just that they look like skanks. For all we know, he sidled up to them later to put the smooth, amorphous moves on ’em.
Elsewhere: Looks like he was the exploding man… poor New York.

Well, the one is DEFINITELY a skank. The topless one. I guess the one next to her is a tranny?

Oilcan is one of the coolest people in the world, so I find myself faking that I have a bike as well, only it's not a totaly lie, because I do ride bikes, just not the motorized kind.
Only when I leave I always pretend I got some important call on my cell phone and I ahve to leave, I usually time it when I start seeing Oilcan get that "crazy" look in his eye cause I know thats when he is about to unite the "DEATH SQUAD" in taking a RIDE
Although I've contemplated actually riding with them a few times just to get one of those cool leather jackets they wear.

I assumed that Mr. Amorphous Blob here spontaneously combusted as a result of not being able to agree with both people at the same time.
Am I right?
Also, I'm very pleased to finally find someone else who hates Bob Barker as much as I do.

Terry - The nice thing about skanks is that they won't have conflicting views on doing skanky stuff.
Monkeyinabox - By definition, skanks dig ANYONE.
Nikki - Haha - WHOOPS... in every comic I forget to draw a line... usually it's mojo's tail or something... but this time, it brings a whole new meaning to the comic!
Shane - You can get the jacket without riding. It's the chaps you need to work to get...
I assumed that Mr. Amorphous Blob here spontaneously combusted as a result of not being able to agree with both people at the same time.Indeed!
Am I right?
And as for the character's hatred of Bob Barker... how can he NOT hate him, after being on the show 5 times and always guessing nearly $15,000 off the mark...
14. Pierce
I hang out with one of these. Whenever a situation like the above occurs he just goes *schluup* into two parts and is then able to simultaneously agree with both people. Or else he just starts bringing up Manga again or something.
He gives great massages, though.

I assumed the gentleman was annoyed with a contestant who bid "twenty-four hundred AND ONE, Bob!"
THOSE guys are jerks.
19. diane witman
POPO,
It's even worse when the next contestant in line bids "twenty-four AND TWO, Bob!"
That person is even more of a jerk!

I really need to start reading what I write before actually posting, because my spelling and grammer is beginning to scare me.

Hey Kevin, just received and read the Swap Meat Scrapbook, and it was everything I was hoping it would be and more! (2 more mojo-kicking-men drawings than expected...fantastic!)
23. martha
i want an amorphous blob friend. i feel much better about myself when someone is in constant agreement with me. and it would be even cooler if he exploded if/when he disagreed with me.
fear is always trustworthy to keep those amorphous blob friends in line.

First off, I love Bob and the Price is Right. How else would I have discovered yodeling? Bob is a better man than me, Gunga Din, because he stood in harm's way every day. Ever get wrastled by a crazed shopper?
Second, I used to teach band...surrounded by 50-60 antithetical Amorphous Blobs. Can I get a hug?

Because the blob is amorphous, I can see his explosion being the result of many things, such as (a) awkwardness (b) frustration or (c) confusion. I could be projecting.
