Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm pretty sure Beast is eating a burger here, but I can't see it as anything but an homage/crossover with the Cookie Monster

[–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 12 points 3 months ago

My guess is that the artist or someone realized that: Beast is big and shaggy and blue. Inevitably, he is going to look like cookiemonster to some extent. So they hung a lantern on it

Funnily enough, this was addressed directly in the comic with the Morlocks. The mutants unable to pass and were living in the sewers under New York.

X-Men #169 to their ultimate elimination in the Mutant Massacre in #210-214, X-Factor #9-11, and New Mutants #46. Also touched on Thor, Power Pack and Daredevil.

In the 90s X-Men animated series, there was an episode where there was a city wide mutant attack pushed by the Friends of Humanity. One of the scenes had a guy explaining he just looks different and that he has no real powers. 😢

He's probably in a gang.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Are the Morlocks a gang?

No, they are an allegory.

Well, we won't hold that against you, that's for every man to decide for himself.

I can accept Panel 4 as Hank may be having a veggie burger. However Panel 3 breaks it for me. There is no world where in every day life Logan feels for Scott. I can suspend my disbelief for almost any magical, SciFi, super natural or even fairy tail story. However panel 3 I can not believe.

I thought the joke was showing 2 of the mutants who you can't tell are mutants in one panel

At the point X-Men stories usually are, Hank and Kurt cope so hard they actually enjoy the attention.
