The Finale of DDD Volume One, Part 1!
Don’t forget to be back at 12:01PM (MST) for the second half of our SPECIAL two-part EPIC FINALE and a link to the full double-page splash.
For now, I’ll just let this page speak for itself. My final thoughts on Deep Dive Daredevils Volume One and a look ahead at what comes next will accompany the next update.
See you in 12 hours!
-Matt-
Lol what?
Welcome aboard, Jon Courage!
I must say, your name definitely fits in with the old-timey pulp/adventure vibe we’ve got going on around here.
And, if you Lol’d at this page then hold onto your hat when the second-half of the spread drops because this half is tame by comparison.
Thanks for reading!
Combining Multiverse & Alternate Histories; cranking it up to eleven?
In its very own strange way, this is surprising yet inevitable.
That you managed to pull off surprising yet inevitable, again, is in itself surprising yet inevitable. (There’s an infinite recursion in here.)
BTW: Correct German would be Meine Führer. I’m telling you so you can pretend you knew, and decided to go with what sounds better.
That settles it, SURPRISING YET INEVITABLE is officially going to be the title of the eventual biography of the 315.
Correct German would be “Mein Führer”.
Duly noted, Sgt. Minor (lots of sarges around these parts lately). We’ll add in the umlaut over the “U” before it goes to print.
If one of them was addressed, it would be “Mein Führer”, for all of them it should read “Meine Führer”. And regardless of singular or plural, it’s always “Heil Hitler”.
But then again, bad German adds some humour for Germans
Welcome aboard, Frisian!
Your corrections are duly noted, and I’m glad you found our Google Translated German amusing.
Thanks for reading!
Frisian is, of course, fully correct, including the last sentence.
If you want to one-up – or multiple-up – on “Heil Hitler”, you could use “Heil jedem Hitler” (Heil each Hitler), which sound slightly awkward, but in just the right (sic) way, as it evokes a fake gravitas / pompousness.
For the record, copy-editing Nazi terminology is an ignoble and invidious task. But we cannot just leave you guys hanging!
THAT’s why the stupid thing is soooo huge… all those egos had to fit somehow. Six Schickelgrubers with five bodies, eh? Ought to be like herding cats…
You are counting what we can see now; on the first half of a double-page spread!
Yeah, Sarge, we got a few more Schickelgrubers to go before it’s all said and done.
Just a little over 3 hours to go until you see the entire predicament the Daredevils find themselves in.
In my military experience, this is refferred to as a ‘Target Rich Environment’- BOOTS & SADDLES- LOCK & LOAD
… the one schluck with two heads-
1) was this the first clone attempt?
2) who does his shirts?
1. We call this one Conjoined Twin Hitler. And, who said they were clones? Though that is an interesting theory.
2. His shirts are custom made, naturally.
Somewhere in this is a “How many Fuhrers does it take to change a light-bulb” joke…
Here goes:
1- It depends on how Heil up it is.
2- Just one, he had the Reich stuff.
3- Nein (I don’t know why but it sounds cool in German)…
Ha! All of the sudden, I see this scene as some sort of Monty Python sketch and that is HILARIOUS.
Punchline #2 is my fave, BTW.
I thought the answer would be “None, he has Goebbels do it and when Gobbels fails at it he has a fit and blames Winston Churchhill.”
Late WWII word to “The Colonel Bogie March/ Theme for Bridge over the River Kwai”
Hitler has only got one b-ll.
Goering has two, but they are small.
Himmler’s are quite similar,
But Goebbels has no b-lls at all!
Holy *censored* Thats *Censored* and *still censored* a lot of alternate reality hitlers…
hmmm Say think if we threw a copy of ‘Mein Kamph’ in the middle of the room do you think they’d tear each other apart to get at it all the while yelling “MEIN!” at each other repeatedly in high pitched voices?
Are they alternate reality versions of Hitler, or clones as the Old Sarge suggested? Or Both?
Only time will tell.
Well, now…consider me officially surprised. Shocked. Poleaxed, even! I mean, we’ve got Standard!Hitler, Wrestling!Hitler (kind of reminds me of the Iron Sheik from the ’80s WWF), Old!Hitler, Samurai!Hitler [ASIDE: Must mention this to the gang at "No Need for Bushido"], and Two-Head!Hitler. Wasn’t Standard!Hitler bad enough? Oh wait, I forgot who I was talking to.
Great job again! (I saw the other half first…)
Just one thing, the one you called old Hitler is in fact Blond Hitler, haha!
(Matt will have a good explanation for that later I guess…)
Blond!Hitler looks like an evil Captain Kangaroo. That is sick and wrong!
Yeah, great work, crazyman, you nailed them all on this page except for Blond Hitler.
And, the explanation for him (I dunno how good it is) is that we wanted to do an Aryan version of Hitler to highlight the irony that Hitler was very much not the “ideal” man (his words not mine, BTW) he sought to create.
The platinum-blond look really threw me off, and he does look a lot older and more careworn than Standard!Hitler. It really makes you think…about a spread of Mk. 48 ADCAP torpedoes homing in on the “Behemoth”!
