In true 90s fashion, I have no idea if this was meant to be taken serious or if it’s a “can you believe we’re doing this?” style joke. That kind of sums up the whole decade worth of pop culture actually.

And now for some are samples from artist/creator Dale Keown and scripter Brian Hotton.
Somehow they couldn’t get Marvel to bite on the biker thug version of Hulk so they took it Image instead.
“@$$#*!#” What on earth could that mean??? I cannot crack this ingenious code!
A no-prize for the first person who can explain to me what in the hell just happened to Harras’ face.
That explosion was pretty targeted when it came to clothing destruction. Also it’s great to see that Harras knows to squat and lift with her legs.
Pitt didn’t think being sprayed with purple and green silly string was a great way to kick off his surprise party.
