[up]Maybe they wanted to get it out before he becomes ruler and clamps down on the media?

I'm trying to think of a real life parallel to this (or at least one involving a famous person that's currently deceased) and I've got nothing. Anyone else got one?
There were a lot of American comics during WWII that directly featured Hitler as the villain. And of course there's Charlie's Chaplin's the Great Dictator, which I've heard Hitler himself watched. More currently there was the fuzz that North Korea threw over The Interview.

@Brickman, seven disaster stones for the disaster masters, plus one for NK himself.

Is he wearing a cape but no shirt, or does his armor have abs inscribed into it? Which is worse?

[up][up] I get the feeling it's the first one. Which I personally consider to be worse than the second one.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

It also looks like he's wearing a speedo, so that's a thing.

So to recap his outfit: Helmet, Cape, Gloves, Speedo. Nothing else.

That is quite the getup.

Behold the disaster masters! Well, some of them.

I didn't notice it on the previous page, but I love how the "Nightmare Knight"'s speech bubbles have their black background held on by scotch tape.

...They didn't even do a shred of research, did they?

What, was this filmed last week?

To be fair, our records of five thousand years are ago are pretty spotty as well. Though this does seem to imply that Cucumber's group are reasonably famous and their exploits well known.

I mean, Nautilus knows quite a bit about them, so records definitely exist somewhere.

Soooo, the fictional NK's speech bubbles appear to be taped onto the comic page. What's that supposed to represent? That all his dialogue is really blatantly dubbed?

That moment when you realize they've still shown more knowledge of the Disaster Masters than Nautilus has.

[up][up] I assume that means that whatever effect they're using to give him a deep, resonating "evil" voice (aka black speech bubbles) is a cheap kludge.

The crime spree.

the opinions expressed by the disaster masters on this show do not reflect those of the producers

Update.

the real nightmare is this show running for 7 seasons.

Peridot, you might want to cool it rooting for this girl to beat up a stand-in for the person sitting right next to you on the couch.

I see this NK subscribes to the TheBestMaster brand of evil.

The lottery of bees sounds like a mixed blessing at worst.

[up]Honestly, that'd be pretty valuable, what with the honeybee crisis and all. Make a killing, corner the honey and beeswax markets.
