HEAT #423 – Making Beers Fall From The Sky
As much as it’s a terrible and unsafe thing to do, I LOVE the visual of garbage being thrown into the ring when a heel succeeds. Think about how much atmosphere it adds to the Hulk Hogan heel turn...
View ArticleHEAT #424 – Arm Draggo En Mexico Part… 3? Or 4? Math Is Hard
The time between writing this strip and drawing it was long enough that I had the hardest time remembering what the duck-under-springboard-arm-drag sequence was originally intended to look like. The...

Up front: I fucked up. Sorry. I forgot to post this on Monday because I was out on a Monday night for the first time in months. I don’t really have an excuse for the four days after that, though. While...
View ArticleHEAT #426 – Bom-Bard, Honk-Honk-Honk
This strip exists because of a line in my notes that was a reminder to reference the awesome/annoying air horn chants that are common in Arena Mexico. If you haven’t watched any lucha, it’s worth...

View ArticleHEAT #431 – One Last Indignity
It’s not enough to make the guy unmask, ya just gotta be a prick about it, too, huh? Why yes, that’s kind of why he’s El Bastarde and not, like, El Pleasant Guy To Be Around. That would be a pretty...
View ArticleHEAT #440 – The Train Of Consequences Pulls Into The Station
