I think that the original was crazy enough from the looks of it but still greaet work all the same Protoguy.

Bonus points to anyone who can identify the third Joe who remains in his fatigues the whole time.

I'll go out on a limb and say...Duke. If that is not the case, then I default with Fonzi.

That just wrote itself didn't it.
I can't even imagine what the original was!

Well done, El Blanco. I'm guessing you've read the issue before, since he looks like Captain Generic without his official "costume" on.

Haha, I couldn't resist. Didn't exactly hide it, but I didn't want to quote it exactly either.

I almost want to see the original, but no, let some of the mystery remain.

I realize that these older comics sometimes depict situations where, when taken out of context, are extremely funny given the changes in customs over the years, but my GOD, could we have changed this much? Since when was it OK for a mom and her children to attack someone at a frigging mall? Seriously, they must have been replicants eating ice cream, yes that makes sense.

Actually, Protoclown, your version is way better than anything the original writers could have come up with.

This is soooooo much better than the original could ever be.

Didn't Spirit usually have a bird with him?

Actually, taken as a stand alone, the original is pretty funny. the "father" really talks like that. Sadly, I think that turns out to be one of the better story lines in comic books.

Sorry for the double post, but I feel I should mention that bear eventually becomes Ripcord's girlfriend.

Yeah, I loved the majority of Larry Hama's run. It's far more entertaining than the Image stuff of recent years.

Clearly whoever made the original never saw the G.I. Joe PSA on not doing drugs on the job, maybe Spirit shared some poyote with him.

Proto, you should put a link with all of the original pages of the protocomics... Or at least tell us the original issue.

Great job, anyways. One of the best ones so far...

The original issue is always mentioned up at the very top of the page, right above the comic, for those of you curious to check out the unbutchered version.
