The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

Looks like Doc is going to have to Ninja his way out of this.

Can angry ghosts get negazoned?

He'll Rules Lawyer his way into arguing he's an astronaut too.

Not with Radical's finger in his mouth, he won't.

He could have claimed that he's an astronaut himself, and therefore under the mystical protection, back when the nasaghast attacked him in space that first time. Since Doc didn't then, I think it means he already knows that argument won't work.

Wait, the Nasaghast follows orders???

Dammit Chuck...

Clearly the real way of winning against Radical is to make all lame citizens into radical citizens so nobody gets replaced xD

I'm guessing that nasaghast still recognizes the POTUS as his commander-in-chief.

Which means Radical is in trouble when Funkhouser gets back :)

So that's why Radical put Doc in that prison. He's not willing to just shoot him because he legitimately believes that Doc should be one of his Radical citizens. He has to beat Doc to win but he also has a certain reverence for a doctor who is also a badass ninja that punches ghosts and solves medical issues like Paul Bunyan Syndrome. That makes perfect sense.

Still pretty dumb.

Radical doesn't seem to consider McNinja to be an existential threat. He seems to feel that he can beat him whenever he wants, and having him as an opponent increases the "radical factor" of the world.

I mean, he's not wrong. Doc and his entire family are pretty radical.

Can I take a moment to call BS on the fact that the Nasaghast follows Radical's orders, but wouldn't follow Chuck's orders to attack the Horrorsaurus until after Chuck died?

Man, even by the standards of implacable spirits of vengeance, Nasaghasts are terrible.

^ Future!Chuck wasn't radical enough. Besides Rad is telling the Nasaghast to take Doc home, not kill someone. The Nasaghast is probably a lot more willing to follow that line.

Maybe they only act in defence of an astronaut, but will take their advice on how to defend them (which also explains why Chuck couldn't call them off Mcninja for punching out the other astronaut).

I haven't loved a page this much since...

Oh, now that's absurd. Riiiiiight.

I'll admit, that's the only twist so far that's has me giggling.

What's the twist? I'm not sure I get it.

The Nasaghasts, or at least that one, is a Punchclock Villain.

That's a twist?

Not one that affects the plot much, but it does contradict a prior assumption.

No wonder he waited so long to attack the Horrorsaurus.

"Eh, you're still alive, and that thing hasn't even punched you yet. Stayin' on my smoke break."

I thought it was just a joke that a dead being was using the phrase "it's a living"

Regardless, we did see that they are capable of independent thought and aren't just reactive rage-fueled vengeance spirits. They can make choices and what not, which is why the other hesitated against the Horrorsaurus.
