Personally, I think the brick was a great idea. Perhaps not the most appropriate, but a great idea none the less. Looks like Monty may have to save the day.
It’s part of his style: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Mr. Shadez WILL BE cool as ice ice baby when he comes at you with his pimpwhip. B)
I feel ashamed for having described it in such a way, but I stand by the message: Nergil always plays it cool when he goes in for the kill. So long as there aren’t any giant Irish manbear’s around…
most hilarious my good sir. I love Nergil’s expression in panel 4…I’m beginning to get the idea that he pay be slightly pissed off, but I’m not totally sure about that…
So wait…. did Chase have a back-up brick in his pants?! Cause I thought he dropped the last one in fear unless he pulled a hackey sack move with it… Yay for over-analyzing webcomics at 1am! Totally loving Nergil’s expressions today. Always a dapper pimp wizard even after a brief freak out!
Ohhhhh I just realized where this is going. The whole conflict is based on a misunderstanding – Nergil thinks he needs Monty to put on a fantastic show to break his curse, and when he finally decides to calm down and explain his situation to our protagonists, he’s going to begrudgingly accept Chase’s help to pull it off. Curse lifted, Monty free, everyone lives happily ever after!
So I was speculating on what happened to Japser and Marian, and with the fervor that Nergil/Shadowman is looking for Montague got me thinking… there are two monsters (that we know of) and two people important to Nergil (that we know of). One of these people (Marian) and one monster (Snarky) has an eye patch/eye missing, both on the right side. Also, Jasper disappeared from the panel when Nergil turned, but what if Jasper turned into Monty and he didn’t run away, just shrank? The only problem is that Snarky has been referred to as a male and I think we’re all pretty sure Marian is a female. BUT STILL.
Your a genius it all fits.. well except snarky being male… but that can be ironed out! and chase should have yelled “Super brick!” I find it much more effective then “Brick!!”
Now good sir, you must explain something to me… Are you a fan of that flash-in-the-pan show that was on television a few years back, or is your name a reference to one of the greatest wrestlers ever, Chris Jericho? I genuinely hope it’s the latter…
I dare you to stand in front of a mirror and bend your arm that way.
Looking at the angle of her arm, she would have to have two elbows to bend that way.
Well, both of you are half right, that is the correct arm, BUT I dumbly followed my pencils when I was doing the line work and didn’t realize I had the left arm positioned wonky as hell. When I get the next post up I’ll see if I can go and make a quick fix to it.
I figured something like that xD
It would be impressive, though, to discover Taryn did have a hidden third elbow.
I love the work, by the way, and the little mistakes just make it feel more real 😛

That is odd, the brick is always effective. Must be one of those crazy fake bricks
Brick I choose you!
Use smash Nergil in the face attack!
… It wasn’t very effective.
Nergil used Brick Break!
It’s super effective!
LOL TOO FUNNY!
Oh god he actually did it…. But I love that he shouts brick as he is throwing it.
I love you.
I love me too! 😀
Chase used Brick Attack!
…
It was ineffective!
Chance hurts himself in his confusion!
Why did Nergil suddenly stop freaking out? >.>
‘Cause he found his target.

Ah yes, but evil is easily reheatable!
“This will be the most amazing enraged vengeance kill of all time. It may even amaze you…TO DEATH!!!”
I love this comic.
Man you don’t just throw the brick. You use other objects for a mechanical advantage, like stuffing the brick in a sock and swinging it for the head
Or in an industrial sized indestructible condom XD
most hilarious my good sir. I love Nergil’s expression in panel 4…I’m beginning to get the idea that he pay be slightly pissed off, but I’m not totally sure about that…
If Chase continues the plan as scripted, Nergil’s about to get pissed on.
Even if he doesn’t continue the plan as scripted, I’d say there’s a good chance of Nergil getting pissed on.
In the words of the Guinness brewers: BRILLIANT!
…I remember those commercials. They were awesome….
Yep, Chase is so dead.
At least Chase’s aim was good.
Chase, you’re doing it wrong. Look, you’re dealing with an evil curse. You need Uncle . I am completely unsure if that will work.
Yay, it did.
“Never Question Uncle!!!!!”
LOL! I loved that show.
“One More thing.”
While I questing the legitimacy and overall effectiveness of the plan, I must commend Chase on his ability to follow through with the idea.

Chase has many things in his pants
Huh. Cute Taryn is Cute. Also, hey, a brick!
Taryn looks awesome today.
For that matter, Taryn looks a bit…ample…today. She must be eating well.
Solid indeed.
Oh, Chase…. You make bad decisions…
Chase… the brick is not your friend today.
That used to be my main plan of attack. But now I have Mr. Steel Baton and Mrs. Stun Gun
More like a BRICK up his sleeve! *cheesy grin*

Or you know… Look for that monster in his pants. Violently.
Nergil and Chase need to hug it out.
Ma’am/ Sir- I like you thinking. Hugs make everything better.
everything just wants a hug=D even i it does eat your face off after wards

You may be onto something.

Sir, you’ve inspired me. The next time I charge into battle, I will do so with a mighty cry of “BRICK!”
Or… “SPOON!”…?
Of course “BRICK!” is a fearsome battle cry indeed, but only “SPOON!” can strike terror into the hearts of evil doers
*makes references that hopefully more than 4 people on the interwebs will get…. and also makes useless, pointless comments*
Ahem. “The Tick” came well before the “brick”.
Awesome comic as always! I really thought the Brick idea would be a bit more effective.
When is motocool updating again? I’m on the edge of my seat!
Now good sir, you must explain something to me… Are you a fan of that flash-in-the-pan show that was on television a few years back, or is your name a reference to one of the greatest wrestlers ever, Chris Jericho? I genuinely hope it’s the latter…
Brick: Works every time!
Great Comic ^^
(The lack of Motokool is killin me man! DX!)
I want a Monty…..
HE THREW IT! YES!
*cues the Benny Hill theme music* here we go…
::Performs high-speed stop-motion chase scene::
BRICK!!!
enough said.
So thought I just had, what happens if Nergil teams up with the koalas? We haven’t seen them in a while
Best anime-style yell the name of your own attack sequence ever.
Next: Chase pulls out a spork, pokes poor Nirgil and runs like hell.
Taryn has a thumb on the wrong side of her hand O_O
SHE’S A MUTANT!
Nope, Left hand to right shoulder, it works.

Its not very effective…
perhaps monty’s hidden talent will shine through at last
what happened to all the I’m GOING TO EAT YOUR EYE BALLS OUT OF YOUR SOCKETS! i thought an Nth degree ass kicking was coming or at least coming sooner
aND THEN IT WORKED THE SECOND TIME
Did anyone else think of the Hyperbole and a Half ‘five things to do with a brick’ post?
I PUT THAT BRICK IN YO FACE! NOW WHATCHA GON’ DO WIDDIT?
