Creating dinosaur zombies because their brains are smaller targets?! I'm taking notes for uh...non-apocalypse reasons.

If you liked Scud, you will absolutely love The Mask (The comics by Dark Horse I mean, not the movie.).

Making it helps with your depression watching it helps with mine

I met Rob in 1993 at ComicFest in Philadelphia, which my parents took me to. I was a shy 14 year old, and had only been to local conventions previously. Meeting Rob was my favorite part of ComicFest. He showed me the first few pages of SCUD (they were huge), and gave me a sticker and shirt. Unfortunately, SCUD never showed up in my comics store, and then I got out of comics in ‘95. I picked up the whole series on Ebay years later. Nice video of one of my favorite comics.

As a cartoonist and lifelong comic lover I enjoy Chris’ channel because it exposes me to new characters, creators and comics. This episode is a good example of why I support his channel. Scud is also a perfect example of breaking from the mainstream drawing style of capes and six-pack abs, and showing the world that making comics is open to anyone with dedication. Great episode Chris, hang in there, my brother!

"SCUD is reaaaalllll Marty! SCUD is reaaallll!" lmao!

Thanks for the Video. Hang in there, I have really bad Crohn's Disease. I've had to stop working and am disabled. I am unable to go out and am fighting depression as well. You make my days bearable and I am so excited to see when you post. Stay strong and when you are having a bad day, reach out to us. We love you and will hang out with on a live stream anytime.

Yes. Shuds! Thank You Rebeltaxi for making me aware of this comic.

"Scud is Real" Honestly, based on what I'm seeing, that's an accurate idea. It's based on the artist's personal life after all.

I learned of Scud about 20 years ago. About 8 years ago, I found out that he had completed the series and my life was complete.

As to the subject of your review, it seems like Scud shares the lighthearted don't-take-yourself-too-seriously goofball universe tone of one of my fave 90s books, Mike Allred's *MADMAN*

Thanks for being vulnerable about your depression. I love your show. It cheers me up all the time

Had to order the collection from amazon immediately. Scud had been on my 'need-to-read-this' list forever.

Don't forget about the Scud video game on the Sega Saturn from 1997! It had one of the best soundtracks on a game I've ever heard, and one of my favorites! Excellent mix of Alternative, Electro-Industrial, Ska, Punk, Jazz... really crazy mix. 🖤 I played it as a kid and it was my first exposure to Scud- I didn't even know it was based on a comic until YEARS later.

When I lived in Chicago, my GF (at the time) and I went to see Dead Ale Wives and took our SCUD #1 to have Rob sign for us. He was super shocked and really excited to sign it and grateful we were loyal readers. I think he was even more socked that we kept it in a hard plastic case. lol

I remember as a spiderman superfan at age 10 being given this by my dad and crying when I finished the collection because it ended on such a cliffhanger. Then a couple years later Schrab decided to finish the story and I finished it with my dad by my side. This and the Maxx are the greatest Indie comics of all time IMO

I first became aware of Scud when I was 12 and went to a comics convention that was in the lobby of a hotel in down town Kenosha, WI. It was literally a room with maybe a dozen or so collectors and their long boxes selling back issues out of their collections. The only creators that i remember being there we the guys making Scud and I'm pretty sure I got a Scud sticker at this convention from them. I can't remember if I got the first issue though. Even though that convention didn't grow into something bigger it's still pretty cool to have gone to it and seen such a grass roots event being put on by people that just loved comics.

I was unaware of this comic and it's creator history, but I can tell this is straight up my alley and definitely will enjoy diving into it.This is the third comic you've introduced me (the other two being Planetary and Moebius comics), so thank you very much!

im fighting depression for some years and you help a lot with what you said and your videos, the world need more ppl like u! thanks a lot bro!!!!

My cousin had a collection of S.C.U.D. comic books he would let me barrow and read. I've been a big S.C.U.D. fan for a long time. I would always consider him my favorite comic book character. I did get kinda sick of no one knowing who we was though.

It's awesome seeing this, especially after learning about your channel because of GVP. The Harmon/Roiland/Schrab universe expands evermore! SCUD is so good.

Chris, one of the best parts of Scud was the sound track on the inside cover fir the panels. First and only time I've ever seen that in a comic. Mad genius🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

God I love this channel, I'm learning so much from the comic world. All while finding authors and artists that are inspiring. Great work!

I just started reading Scud! Awesome to see you cover it just as I'm in the middle of it. Love your channel! Best comic book KZfaq channel if you ask me!

Always loved this channel, such a wholesome show! Keep up the good work

Scud needs a movie!

I agree that Tick, Cerebus, Bone and Madman were probably the most visible "independent" comics at the time (I guess you can also count Beanworld since Larry Marder was brought on to Image to give them some cred) but there were still plenty of independent publishers putting out some great stuff: Chaos Comics had Evil Ernie and Lady Death, Malibu had Dinosaurs for Hire, Kitchen Sink had Omaha and Black Hole, and my personal favorite Slave Labor Graphics had Milk and Cheese, Caffeine and Ariel Schrag's books. It was also the time when Drawn and Quarterly was really ramping up with: Optic Nerve, Eightball, Peep Show, Jimmy Corrigan, Berlin, etc. And I guess Fantagraphics is the most well-known independent publisher today due to their award winning Peanuts and Disney reprint books. I'm not sure if I'd call it a "rebuilding" phase since it was really mainstream comics that collapsed leaving the field wide-open for the independents in the late 90's-2000's.

Absolutely LOVED Scud back in the 90s, it was my #1 comic way back then

I just love that you talk about the most underrated comics so much😤😂👍

I LOVE SCUD. Thank you for this episode. Im a huge fan of Rob Schrab too, so much of what he's done is inspirational and crazy. Love that that whole channel 101 crew is getting a lot of projects and attention lately

Thank you for doing SCUD! Long before Deadpool made headway into being the merc with the mouth, SCUD was doing it WAY before!!!

Thank you for opening up about your depression! When content creators are vocal about their struggles, it really helps to end the stigma! +subbed

Great video! Keep making these videos, Chris. I really enjoy and learn from them!

Please please please do BONE. That would amazing

scud was so different at the time. Really cool you took the time to make a video about him

I read Scud about a year ago because of this video. Thanks a ton man. You do great work.

Yeah, I remember seeing Rob's vlogs on KZfaq years ago documenting his work on the final issue of Scud. That's what got me interested in Scud, because I didn't know about it in the 90s when it was originally released. Awesome vid, Chris! Keep up the good work.

Love these episodes. I've known about Scud for a long, long time but just never really took the plunge to actually read it. But seeing a few of the highlights here and hearing the energy and enthusiasm for it in your voice, I'm finally convinced to give that Whole Shebang volume a shot.

This made me pick up the "Whole Shebang" version of Scud (all comics in one book)

I greatly enjoy your perspectives! And I enjoy learning about comics history as well.

"Your mileage may vary" is really turning into a catchphrase! Also, I have to order the Scud tpb now... Thanks Chris!

I just got the whole shebang! It is one of the most fun books I've ever read. Hands down

So happy to see you growing your channel, Chris! Since the very beginning, your content was always very good. Chin up, my friend, even battling your own demons you keep bringing smiles to a lot of peoples faces. That`s the mark of a modern hero.

My brother gave this to me to read when I was 7 years old. I'm not sure if he was a genius or irresponsible, but it completely blew my tiny mind with its awesome violence and weird humour.

Thank you for talking about Scud! I had the first couple issues from back in the 1990s and loved it, but I lost track of it as life went on. I'm happy to hear the story continued. I'll have to pick up the collected edition to see how everything turned out.

I recently started binging your videos and the second I saw scud I was absolutely pumped to see this! Scud is up there with Spidey in my eyes

I first seen and played Scud on the sega saturn. still love this game to this day.

Big fan of Scud and I love the art. Nice episode.

DUDE! I had no idea that you suffer from depression. Ironically, your funny insightful videos help me deal with *my* depression. You're doing great work so keep on keepin' on! ~Hugs from a fellow cubavera/bowling shirt aficionado

I'll have you know that thanks to this video, I bought the Scud TPB at my local comic store today. I was not prepared for it to weigh 10 lbs!

This video got me into Scud and I couldn't be happier

I can't believe Scud is originally a comic book character, i only knew him through the Sega Saturn dual gun wielding game, i can't wait to buy this now, hope i find it

NOW DO MAXX PLEASE

Sarah Silverman once said, "Most people wipe from front to back. Rob Schraub wipes from side to side". On another note, I had a friend from my hometown who had a good deal of success on Channel 101. His name was JD Ryznar and his show was called " Yacht Rock". It has inspired a whole genre labelling music by the same name.

I picked up the Whole Shebang on a whim at a stand during a convention and it was a great choice. I had no idea he was attached to so many other things I love, too.

Thanks for this! Ordered this one right away, loved the artwork!

I only recently learned that Dan Harmon was part of the famous DND “Then I’m attacking the darkness” sketch.

What if Scud is not aware of the targets death? Does he have to confirm his targets death or there a system in place or network?

I loved this comic back in the 90s! I felt like I was the only one who liked it. Thanks, this is a treat to watch and tickles my nostalgia bone.

This was really great! I am so touched. Thank you!

I ran across Scud in the 90's and it always had its hooks in me. Years later I was finally able to pick up the Whole Shebang, and I can say without hyperbole that it's my favorite comic. It's silly, it's sweet, it's frantic, it's insane, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Then again, you'd expect a guy with a Scud tattoo to be somewhat biased.

Man, you got me wanting to check this book out. Gonna start scouting around for a physical copy.

Channel 101... Man, that brings back memories

You're my favourite KZfaqr Chris!

I appreciate what ur doing Chris.

Thanks Christ again a incredible video, i love the video, story and all, thanks man good job.

I'm currently reading The Whole Shabang. It is truly one of the best things that I've ever read. Rob is a mad genius! It's like TMNT if they never went commercial.

Lack of internet be damned I’ll STILL find a way to watch your channel every week

Got the game on a whim as a kid and fell in love. Loved the books. Great to see this video.

thank you for your openness at the end of the video. Greetings from distant Chile.

Heard of this a few years ago and was surprised I hadn't sooner. Now I've gotta check this out for myself finally.

Good show, I enjoy every episode. Keep up the good work!!!

Dude, your chanel is my favorite on KZfaq.

I may not be 100% accurate on this but there was a Scud video game for the original Playstation/Sega Saturn.

Rob Schrab seems like a great, fun indie creator and this sounds like a cool read. Thanks for this video! I'll Definitely check this out!

Thank you for this episode. A dear friend of mine worked on House of Cosbys as a writer and passed away shortly before moving to L.A. to pursue that career. It's been nice to know that strange cartoon earned a little name for itself.

I've been listening to Harmontown for a while now. So glad you've exposed me to some Schrab history! And if you're reading this Rob, you're not a cheapy peepy in my heart

Wow, such a massive amount of character and wit. I'm definitely checking this out

This looks like a lot of fun, going to have to check it out.

I was made aware of Scud back in the mid to late 90s when the super obscure Sega Saturn game came out based on the comic. It sounded like super fun idea though I could never find anything at stores at the time. Thanks for letting me know about The Whole Shebang, definitely adding that to my list of things to get first chance I get!

Scud is such a lovable character!

"You caught me punishing my robot" would make a good euphemism.

I loved Scud when I was a teenager! My friend, John, got a second printing of issue #1, and we’d read it over and over. We liked the idea and look of him so much, yet we didn’t own any more issues. Our town’s comic book store closed around this time, so any comics we got was from a book store, which was only the big two publishers. That was also the reason why I stopped reading Spawn: I just couldn’t find the issues. But it definitely is a series of like to go through.

Hi! You caught me being depressed. Good job Chris, Scud is my favorite comic.

It's gems like this that keep me watching. I love when u do mainstream but the Indies and foriegn comics are my fave! I think I remember seeing this one on the shelves and passing it by. At that time, I was marvel or bust. Growing older has it perks. Great episode Chris!

I loved SCUD throughout the 90s.....glad u made an episode highlighting the fun it was....have you ever heard of BEAUTIFUL STORIES FOR UGLY CHILDREN? It was on par with this niche...

Loved Scud as a kid , he always had a koo look to him . a lot of great info in this video about behined the scenes stuff i didnt know about

Scud sounds fun. I miss fun in comics. And if Captain Comic Tropes was rejected by the Legion of Super-Heroes, maybe he can make it in the Substitute Legion!

Chris, I love yah vidz....I'm so Glad I came across ur channel sum how-i dnt even remember....wait I think I do! The "Bad 90s costumez" video I randomly saw on recommend....hahah....

Came for the tropes. Subbed for the content. Stayed for the intros.

Funny story: I was commenting on your most recent offering (about comic book inventions) and was going to suggest talking about Scud-not only forgetting that you had already done so, but that I had saw and liked it. I REALLY wish that Dan Harmon would finish Nostroid, and that it and all the ancillary comics/series associated with Scud and Fireman Press would be gathered into another omnibus. A shame, really...

This was a great episode! I'm definitely gonna go out and read this one! Actually, my local comic book store is the producer of a different indie comic you brought up, The Tick!

You sold me, I'm gonna have to check it out!

I really love this offbeat far out comics back in the 90s because you'd get these way crazy characters and just out there story lines that were just so entertaining

Hugs, Dude... As one who also is surviving Chronic Depression... Keep the good contacts. Say goodbye to the bad ones.

straight up my fav comic in high school. I traveled an hour to another town just to get issues of the comic. And unknowingly at the time, my first exposure to Rob Schrab and Dan Harmon. Drywall is still one of my fav characters ever.

That was excellent, please keep up the excellent work

I just wanna say. Scud is my favorite comic of all time. I pre-ordered the collected Image book immediately when it was announced, as it was $30 to the softcover's $20. Several weeks after it was supposed to have been released, I was informed that not only was my book delayed, I had been downgraded to softcover as the hardback price had been jacked up $20 due to buzz, but I could pay more for the fancy one... like I had already decided to do. Being poor and already having splurged on the purchase, I declined. I have occasional bad thoughts about the people who made this decision back in '08. Thank you for listening to my rant about capitalism.

This was one of the most interesting videos I've seen on this channel. I'm so ignorant about comic books in general but always wanted to get into them. Shows like this are a window for casuals like me to look into and see clearly what is out there I might really enjoy. This comic in particular has really grabbed me. Love the style and humour. Also I can't help but want to colour that entire comic. The strong yellow really leaps off the page making it easier to see through this guys art style. The Black and white pages are harder to see. But maybe that's because I'm watching on a computer. It would probably be very different holding it in your hand. What the heck. My comment is so long no ones going to read it anyway so I'll add that I bet in the near future it will be possible to use A.I to colour in comics. Googles can already colour photographs perfectly to look completely realistic so I bet it could do comics too.

So many ads for the video game in comics during the late 90s, don't think I ever saw anything for the comics.
