Will Benedetti contributed to the MM Season 1 Kickstarter, and part of his reward was this walk on appearance. He had sent me a photo to use as a reference, but the photo had like 4 Kangaroo’s in it. Anyway, this strip was almost about Will and his kangaroo harem, but that would have been a pretty awful thing to do to someone who gave me so much money. So thanks Will!

Remember, if we make the top 5 I’ll do a full week of strips in the first week of November!
I will not ask about the Kangaroo then
Kangaroo vs. Medusa’s mom?
The Kangaroo was fun to draw, so it’ll probably be back at some point.
And in their greatest time of need, dread takes hold of them as Momdusa prepares the final blow… but in that instant, on the hill, to the east, a legion of katana-wielding kangaroos cheers. Running downhill with the sun, blinding Momdusa, and overtaking her, saving our valiant heros…. who were just going to throw chocodiles at her.
… Oh sorry, didn’t mean to give away the season finale like that! Keheheheheh 😛
Actually, there are two rules. Rule two: DO NOT ask about the kangaroo.
I vote we get that kangaroo some boxing gloves.
But… what would we name him?
Hmm.. |:
If ONLY there was some video game that had a boxing glove-wearing kangaroo we could borrow the name from.
|: Hmmmm………………
Is there?
Oh wait, is there a Tekken game with a Kangaroo? There is, isn’t there?
There’s also a Zelda game with a kangaroo in it: Oracle of Ages.
Really?
I forget the name but you can play as a kangaroo in a streets of rage game (3 i think). cant remember if he had boxing gloves or just bandages. lame memory Huh?
That was Roo, and I’m pretty sure she was female. She definitely had boxing gloves, though.
Yes, Roger in Tekken 2 (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters3/roger-n.jpg) and Roger Jr. in Tekken 5 and 6 (http://www.fightersgeneration.com/np2/char1/br/rog-6.jpeg)
Ricky! (Zelda Oracles games)

THANK YOU! I didn’t think it was that hard! Should I have thrown in some more hints, people?! >o<#
And you all are gamers who read a comic with COUNTLESS gaming puns and references!
You should all pay dearly for your crimes! Haha!
Thanks Druid, if SOMEONE didn't answer correctly by the time of my next return, I was gonna start making a game outta this. So thanks (even if you did use gamefaqs, not pointing fingers)
I vote “Skippy”
Why, you ask?
While doing some searches, I came across this, and I quote:
Skippy The Bush Kangaroo shows Skippy wear boxing clubs at the end of an episode, but as a joke. She never actually boxes. End-quote.
Seems fitting to me ^^,
Hmm… Maybe something like Lou “Skippy” Beneditti?
As it’s been pointed out, there are multiple games with boxing kangaroos in them. If boxing kangaroo is the only hint, people are going to think of whichever boxing kangaroo is most prominent in their mind. I thought of Roger too, frankly.
I gotta say, Charles sure is taking the loss of his arm in stride. Other than getting pissed at the suggestion of getting a hook, he’s pretty sanguine about the whole thing 😉
BTW, I just read Hereville – beautiful work on the coloring, man. Absolutely stunning work all around.
Thanks! As for Charles… lots of drugs, I bet.
Good thing I showed up. The other Will only has a motorcycle. With all the blood loss and drugs and only having one arm Charles would probably have gotten thrown from it when they turned the first corner.
Beware, Chainsaw Unicorn, for my kangaroo will avenge my death.
Hi Will, thanks for the ride!
Couldn’t they reattach it? That’s done nowadays.
I guess his insurance doesn’t cover it?
I’ll get around to explaining that eventually. There’s a reason.
Oh God, don’t tell me my arm has escaped!?!
I just figured it would be hard to reattach with such a messy removal method. I guess maybe it would just be a little shorter.
Maybe he’ll end up with a snake for an arm…

2nd row – second column
WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!
thats a cool beard will.
First time poster.
Love your work, lots of laughs.
Might I suggest Lou for the bounding bipeds name?
We’ll take Lou. Sure.
* Mrs Roger and Roger Jr. in Tekken 5 and 6
perfectly logical that thats the only rule but what the punishment for asking
Okay, so we’ll ignore the 180 lb kangaroo in the car.
Tekken 2 is where the boxing Kangaroo, Roger, was introduced.
It is the alternate costume for Alex the Raptor. Or was that the other way around?
For some reason i fell like you could have turned that into a Fight Club reference with the rules about the Car. Jackie Legs or Roger from Tekken. is two ways that kangaroo could turn out as.
His name is Skippy. Or this Australian will revolt.
nice
Jake
Two things:
1) Comments push the voting button down. You shoudl put up a giant, easy to see voting button (“VOTE HERE!”) maybe in a bright blue, under “UPDATED EVERY MON WED FRI, but above the archives. This will get people to vote–please make it e-a-s-y for us.
2) How about an incentive comic? Even a one-panel thing–but change it often. This will get people to vote a lot–as the only pace they can see that panel is if they vote. This is how the top 10 seem to be doing it–me having studied those JERKS for 2 years now. I love me some web comics and I pay close attention to the top-spotters. Anyway, thar’s my two pesos. (hmm… mixed metaphors abounding like… dare I say kangaroos?)
I think placing the buttons somewhere more visible is a good idea. I wanted to stay away from doing incentive comics if possible. Not that I don’t want to make cool stuff for you guys, but I don’t have a lot of free time right now, and I wanted to see if we could do this without that kind of bribery. I guess we’ll see.
I just want you to win (MM is such a great character–as long as the original series is untainted a little bribery won’t hurt my feelings). But I respect that integrity. Of course that’s how you end up getting sucked down a toilet by a giant angry snake whose bodyguard is a CHAINSAW UNICORN! XD
what the?! i want a rule like that!!!
Wait a sec! Charles is a guy?!
Missed that somewhere.
I know exactly what the kangaroo is for! It’s for killing zombies and then transportation when you run out of gas and the kiwi birds that turned into zombie people by going outside are in hot pursuit in their jeep. Trust me, I know what I’m talking about, I had a dream about this.
I tought the 1st rule was ” Dont talk about fight club” …..
the kangaroo is fine what i want to know is how did you get it in the car
He’s on some good drugs.
