Special guests sparkle in the second panel of this, another great entry in the @$$hole story arc. Pogues is sporting his support for Trutle, who won the Turlte vs. Bunny race that recently concluded on the Digital Pimp website. Tom Brazelton from Theater Hopper is accused of reviewing crappy movies - and let's be honest, the guy reviews just about everything. He's a hard worker. And Joe from Joe Loves Crappy Movies rounds out the special guests with his appearance. Joe works on so many comics that it's impossible to list them all, but his work is very distinctive and very entertaining to read.

The funny thing about watching The Prisoner is that the fashion is completely different from today. Obviously, this is due to the fact that the show was filmed in the 1960s, and in the British Isles. I tried to pass some of that along to this strip, although still maintaining the same outfit as the main character (who wears a very dark brown coat, black or blue turtleneck, and tan pants). The background characters were usually always wearing bright colors, capes and ponchos, and everyone seemed to be very pleasant despite the fact that they were all stuck on an island prison. While trying to factor this into my version of The Village, I tried to think of characters that I knew who were typically seen in bright colors.

Pogues, Tom, and Joe jumped into mind almost instantly.

Ignore the fact that they don't have English accents, and then next week's joke might be a little more funny. Until then!
