Scale, Hank, Handler and Gertrude are all visiting us from “Cowboys and Crossovers”

Drawn by Ron Bender (Well, when they aren’t being drawn by me, that is…)
Also, thanks to Ron Bender for helping me translate Hank’s dialogue into “Old Westernish”.
Did you mean "Clash" ?
t!
Uh…. yeah. 😀
Heh. I like this guy already. Not half smug, is he?
But Handler’s response in the third panel confuses me. That ending question mark doesn’t really make sense–it reads like a statement.
It’s a form of sarcasm. Make a statement, but use a questioning note to pitch the intent as a non-rhetorical rhetorical point that can’t be answered as a question without making the target look foolish. It’s more of a put-down or trash talk, in that sense.
Unless the target is even more clever and dumps it back in the face of the person attempting it.
"At the Black Mountain"… which Mountain? 🙂
And Handler feels his position threatened by something smaller than himself… not that he didn’t have size-issues already…
I really wanted to call him Larry.
But, I guess I’ll have to respect the decisions of the Creator.
Got a very Flintstones-esque vibe going. I kind’a hope he survives to be part of the cast for a while … but, he also strikes me as the sort of "… it’s getting him to _stop_ talking that’s the problem." Often doesn’t bode well when assigned to a stealth mission.

Thanks for the clarification. That interpretation makes sense.
Handler is a pooka from A little more Humiliation. Those Pookas respect stealth. Being big is anti stealthy in pooka thinking. Handler is very large for a pooka which feeds his insecurities. Having someone smaller doing what he considers his job is just icing on his cake.
"Being big is anti stealthy in pooka thinking"
Interesting. So, what do the pookas in "A Little More Humiliation" think of Harvey?
