In my opinion (and I’m fairly certain John agrees), Doctor Who is the greatest television show of all time. It has the capability of making any idea anyone has be cool no matter how stupid it seems on paper. There is no reason Agatha Christie fighting a giant bee, finding Satan in a black hole, or Vincent van Gogh fighting a parrot-bear should be good at all. It manages the perfect balance...

The world class legal ass whooping laid down upon Samsung this past weekend has the potential to radically change the development of mobile technology. The billion dollar settlement that Apple will get from a major competitor is certainly a lot of money, but as far as I can see, by far the most important decision is that Apple has the rights to the face design of the iPhone, A rectangular screen...

When we set out to write a comic for today, we realized it’s been an extremely long lime since we’ve actually used the characters we created for this comic strip. We almost went all of August in fact. I’m sure there are a few of you readers who have no idea who any of the people in this comic are. Particularly though, we’ve been neglecting Micheal Otters. It’s been 33...

Hello, dear readers. It’s Scott again, back from vacation. I hope you enjoyed our Power Rangers epic and John’s commentary. Now, back to your regularly scheduled comicstripery.
John picked up Darksiders 2 Monday, and we’re really enjoying it. It strikes me as a sort of mix between a Zelda title and I want to say God of War even though I’ve never played God of War. I really...

Angel Grove’s city planners’ precognizance in their placement of abandoned warehouses is miraculous to say the least. Nearly half the alien-monster innovations take place in the only unpopulated part of town, the other half taking place in the quarry outside of town or the notorious Angel Grove caverns. The amount of money they must dump into the rebuilding of what amounts to little...

For those who may not know, and I hope your numbers are small, Power Rangers is made using characters and footage from the Japanese show “Super Sentai.” They would usually take fight scenes from Sentai and then mix in American sub plots. Knowing these facts allows us to see the writers’ handicap when trying to come up with their “original” stories. They are especially...

Its time to “Conquer Earth,” the next 3-part arc in our 6-comic Power Rangers spectacular. These next 3 comics will bare the title of world domination and find our heros fighting to save the world. Stay tuned.
The definition Jophaboia is an irrational fear of cakes. The definition of Pastrophobia is an irrational fear of pies. Farkas “Bulk” Bulkmeier and Eugene...

Billy Cranston, the blue ranger, is undoubtedly the most intelligent mind on the planet. A mere high school student and yet he conceptualized and built a flying car, the RADBUG. This teenager has also dabbled in weather manipulation, age modification, and space travel. Billy has no intellectual equal on Earth.
That being said, every single power ranger is complete and utterly oblivious to their...

Each episode, Zordon would proclaim a need for “teenagers with attitudes.” I always found it rather odd that a force of justice and good, like Zordon, would be interested in attitudes, Zordon being a rather emotionless floating head who’s usual desired companion is a extremely attitude-less robot, Alpha 5. Maybe years and years of Alpha 5’s general lack of attitude made...

Welcome to a ReadySoup first. The future is now with ReadySoup’s six-part Power Rangers spectacular. It shouldn’t be a surprise to any loyal fans that Scott and I are mighty fans of Super Sentai’s American brother. Before he left for vacation Scott and I sat down and wrote 6 comics of pure morphinominal bliss; they will be broken into 2 parts (3 comics each) starting with...

Hello, ReadySoup readers. I am John McDevitt, artist of what I hope is your favorite webcomic of all time. I’ll be writing the next few posts while our usual captain of colloquialisms, DJ of discussions, our idol of idioms, Scott Mitchell, is on vacation. I’ll do my best to keep things lively and entertaining while maintaining our high standards of humor and storytelling…now onto the...

John is back. I’m not sure if any of you readers enjoyed the fill in comics, but we certainly had fun making them. Today’s comic is a bit strange, but we have a history of returning from breaks with rather bizarre entries.
As I’ve discussed in previous posts, we love Groose. And Groose hates wimps. therefore, we don’t approve of any story that bills its main character as a...

And back to me drawing for this last one. John will be back drawing on Monday. I will be going on vacation starting late next week, but it won’t make nearly as radical a difference to the strip. We’ll just write them beforehand.
