My grandmother freaked when she read the title of the artwork on this page. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me?! it's named after a U2 song (the one that plays during the end credits of Batman Forever, right before Kiss from a Rose.) That is itself named after the Mel Carter song Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me, and in fact one of the reasons I called Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me what I did is because I figured she'd be okay with that. Well, if she freaked out so much about the painting named after the pop rock song named after the R&B song, then thank goodness she didn't see the page with the naked cyborg... or the part with the secretary with the hots for the married guy... or that same guy having the hots for robots... in fact, the whole thing is just messed up.
The final sound effect the machine gun makes is "sickgnarly," if you look at that teeny tiny lettering there. Cailin, Stumps and I had a thing going on, where each of us had to somehow incorporate the word "sickgnarly" as a sound effect into our comic. It fit well into Joe's fair Dadaist comic, and for me, it began the long tradition of odd sound effects in Scourge. (Cailin forgot to do it in hers, which is just as well, as it would have been really distracting from her more somber serious comic, "Aurora.")
