Aquarium tried to do the Vulcan neck pinch!
Sorry for the long wait on the comics. Especially poor Java Jaguar. Here’s to a strong and successful 2026. 2025 kind of ended with a whimper and a sigh for me. But looking forward to getting some writing and drawing done in the year ahead.
Most of you probably know that the Java Jaguar site was hacked and infested with Malware which took some work to get cleaned up. I’m 99% sure that it is clean now, and I have Wordfence installed on it doing regular malware scans and firewalling. I never even knew that there was such a thing as virus and malware protection for hosted websites. I know that I need it for my computer. But all these comic sites are on someone else’s computer somewhere in Bespin (get it…? Cloud City? In the cloud?). If Java Jaguar got infected, I would kind of assume that the entire Bluehost network should have gone down with it. But, what do I know?
Oh, right, comics. So, next page we can see if Aquarium’s throw had enough force for Kickman to reach the river. If so, Kickman can’t possibly be a match for Aquarium in the water can he? And if not, well, the fight might end with Kickman splatting on the pavement. Tune in next week to find out which way it goes.
Also, “salting the earth” is a valid strategy for keeping a desperate city under siege from summoning a legion of demons to kill all your Romans, am I right?



First frame; Not “Surrender” Dorthy???
What has happened to tradition?
That’s actually spelled out in the cracks where he’s punching holes in the ground.
Per Matt “If so, Kickman can’t possibly be a match for Aquarium in the water can he?”
Seems he thinks we forgot that the most important part of swimming is the kick……
Yeah, this has already happened when they fought the Zodiac gang. Aquarius didn’t last long.
But let’s not forget that Aquarium can also talk to fish!
So which fish tell the dirtiest Jokes?*
*Porpoise aren’t fish and otherwise would be the clear winners….
If those fishes get too close they will be sleeping with the fishes tonight.
…
I should have went with a different metaphore.
…if Kickman can hit him.
