so, here's the second ever Special Event Comic Exhibition. it has to do with Mentski(!)

yes, back in the day (apparently; i wasn't here yet) there was a stripper named Mentski who wrote a wonderful (!) series called MOHH OMLO AND HIS "AMAZING FREINDS" [sic], in which every strip ended with the skeleton saying "moh!" on the apocalypse background, for no apparent reason. don't believe me?

http://www.stripcreator.com/view.php?author=Mentski

now, Mentski's work was often imitated (read: ridiculed), but never duplicated--until today, that is. the objective of this SECE is to pay homage to this SC hall-of-famer by extending his already vast legacy.

the rules? try to keep the episodes in numerical order (that means read this thread immediately before making the strip so you'll know what number we're on), and use the original, misspelled title as your own:

MOHH OMLO AND HIS "AMAZING FREINDS" Episode (current number)

make sure the skeleton says "moh!" and nothing else, on the apocalypse background, in your final panel--the rest is up to you.

in keeping with dr. k's original SECE vision, there will be no judging, no time limit, and whoever wants to start SECE3 can do so on the slightest whim, for whatever reason. now, i'll lead us off:

Existentialism is so bleak and depressing. How can you believe in it? No, man, you got it all wrong! God is dead; anything is permissible! Ooh--I can see how that could be inspirational! That's right! Only when you realize you're alone in the universe can you truly be free. moh! You said it, brother. Give us a hug?

The story behind Mentski is that he is a longtime regular poster to a newsgroup called alt.digitiser , dedicated to the uk teletext games magazine of the same name. They also have an IRC channel somewhere. I used to post to it years ago when it was full of witty banter, but it soon fell foul of the dreaded injoke, with people spouting gibberish like "Moh" and talking in l33t. He has a site at www.mentski.co.uk I think.

Say "moh" if you love being savagely violated by large red robots! Yeah, right. Who would fall for... oh no! Ha! Just as I suspected. You can't let a strip pass by without saying it, can you? I am so going to make you pay for this. moh! RAAAARR!

Now I have to go wash my brain out.

The what mentioned above is total fiction. Please don't take it seriously!

Hey, look, it's Stevie Cargot, the world's slowest talker! Hey Stevie, I bet you can't say the name of the 1992 Daniel Day Lewis film that took place in revolutionary America before you die. Last  of  the moh! Too late!

....but those strips stink.

MOHH OMLO AND HIS "AMAZING FREINDS" Episode 39 by itsclark 10-13-01

OK, how should I work this scene? What's to work? You're a skeleton. You stand against an apocalyptic backdrop and say, 'Moh!" But I must have some kind of motivation... Surely there's SOMETHING I should be feeling at this point! I told you -- the 'Moh!' thing is pretty much it! Now roll 'em! *ahem* mmMMooOOHH!!! Cut cut cut! Look, you're just not getting it, are you?

i have a feeling i could live to be a thousand, and i will never have the inside joke "moh" explained to me...
is it a variant of homer simpson's "doh"?
