I just noticed there’s a lot of duct tape usage in this comic. Did any of you south of the border folk ever catch the ‘Red Green Show’ on tv? Or was that just a Canadian only opus. Red took duct tape to new heights, long before the Mythbusters were building boats/planes whatever out of the stuff. I don’t believe they ever fired a cannon ball into the suburbs though.
I recently did a bunch of baby themed designs for WOJ stamps. As I do happen to be a little familiar with babies, it was a pretty easy theme to get into. Ultimately this one wasn’t used but it’s still one of my favs.

Never saw Red Green Show, but you Canadians are so lucky to be able to watch first runs of Lost Girl without having to download it!
February 20th, 2012 at 12:20 am
I thought they were ripping fur off, and evil may be dead, or at least drowned by the time this is resolved.
February 20th, 2012 at 12:36 am
oh my goodness, i loved the red green show! we would get it on pbs and it was always a riot! i even saw the movie in theaters. I live in MI, so not too far from the chilly north of canada.
great expressions on all the characters as always :3

i live in Spokane, Washington and i used to watch the Red Green show. I loved it then and I love it now. Used to only get it on ch 7 late at night.
February 20th, 2012 at 1:24 am
I am from the U.S. and yes we do get it, but only late at night among the many british tv shows shown on pbs. Really odd line up some times. Once I believe it went Red Green- Doctor Who- Keeping Up Appearances. Awesome stuff. I always loved the black and white segments with Bill and Harold. The Septic Sewage Sucker Guy was always awesome. His advertisments were hilarious. I also liked the kleptomaniac. I remember all of the renovations the opossum van went through. Who knows how many times they set the lake on fire. One of my favorites is when they began producing barbecue sauce with jet fuel or something like that. And of course there was the man’s prayer: “I am a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess.”

I used to watch the Red Green Show! I’m from Michigan, so we’re right under you guys so that might be why, but I love that show! “If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.”
February 20th, 2012 at 2:02 am
the red green show is still one of my favorites
February 20th, 2012 at 2:02 am
Red Green was a great show. We had it television here in Texas for awhile. “If the girls don’t find you handsome at least they will find you handy.” Or something like that. Love the comic too.
February 20th, 2012 at 2:13 am
Not an American, but my local PBS station, out of Watertown, used to show RED GREEN.
February 20th, 2012 at 2:36 am
I have watched Red Green a few times on PBS - pretty funny stuff
February 20th, 2012 at 2:46 am
aaaaaaaaaaxaxaxaxaax this is sooo EPIC
can`t wait for the next page :3
February 20th, 2012 at 2:59 am
Ok ok, I live in NJ and the Red Green fundraiser show has been a PBS highlight of my youth. From that I bugged my father about what show had a duct tape fundraiser to the point he looked the show up himself and bought the entire run. Since then we have spent many months rewatching them together. That and Home Improvement. Can you guess what my father does for a living? heh. Btw, love the comic. Takes the “Care Bears” to a new, dark, twisted cuteness.
February 20th, 2012 at 4:06 am
I grew up in Wa State, and we watched Red Green Show all the time. SO I totally know what you’re talking about
February 20th, 2012 at 4:13 am
I think they’re gonna get found out.
February 20th, 2012 at 4:39 am
I live in Seattle, and it’s aired still on late night on one of the local stations. A lot of Canadian things tend to spill over here though, so I’m not quiet sure if that answers your question.
February 20th, 2012 at 6:06 am
You will find soon enough, Prozac… D:
February 20th, 2012 at 7:15 am
If the women don’t find you handsome, they can at least find you handy! Love the Red Green Show. Lived up by BC for quite a while. My folks get it on netflix, I understand.
February 20th, 2012 at 7:21 am
Nice job this week but why does it look like Steven got his arm back in panels 4 and 5?
February 20th, 2012 at 7:30 am
The Red Green show was awesome, but has been a long time since i watched it
February 20th, 2012 at 7:51 am
*Snerk* Bahahaha, forget about Prozac. The duct tape is cracking me up. And Gay’s expressions, though I kinda feel sorry for him being the incidental verbal punching bag.
February 20th, 2012 at 7:53 am
Red Green is aired on our local PBS station. However, the American king of Duct Tape is MacGyver.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:01 am
I live in New Hampshire and i watched that show when it was on pbs
February 20th, 2012 at 8:16 am
Panel 10. Is that… an Ermine???
February 20th, 2012 at 8:24 am
And Macgyver. He basically showed you all you ever need in any situation was a swiss army knife and duct tape. you could solve any problem.
Red is much more hilarious with his duct tape use though, and I give him the crown of duct tape usage.
February 20th, 2012 at 8:39 am
I love the Red Green show. I’ve got their movie on DVD, even.
February 20th, 2012 at 9:17 am
The local public television network used to carry Red Green, a program that demonstrated Canadians have rednecks too.
“If women can’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!”
February 20th, 2012 at 9:20 am
Actually, I’m “south of the boarder” and love Red Green! My dad was a huge fan too. hehe..
February 20th, 2012 at 9:55 am
Red Green was always huge here in Iowa, mainly due to our PBS station never being allowed to pull it from the lineup. The cast would come down every year to add to the fund drives in character, especially when the movie came out and we got to be the first folks in the US to see it.
February 20th, 2012 at 11:22 am
In MI Red Green is huge. I have a friend that took an old an and made the possum van!

February 20th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
we live in the states, but PBS did play a few seasons of Red Green - loved the leaf sofa, and how to change the headlight in the car with a chain saw. My hubby loves Mythbusters and yes, its surprising what Duct Tape can do. Personally, I find it has a very musical quality as you pull it off of the roll. (and what guy can resist the smell of duct tape in the morning??) : D Never knew though that it could be used as hair removal tool. Poor Nerd!!
February 20th, 2012 at 12:45 pm
People had an interesting take on this when they said it WAS Prozac’s fault that it was happening, for not fighting back in the first place and making them an easy target. However, come to think of it, it’s Nerd’s fault for wanting revenge, suggesting Evil’s voodoo, and then ripping the voodoo doll’s arm off. Even if it WAS a mistake, it was a pretty big one. I know it’s easy to blame Evil here, but Nerd fueled the fire on this one. I always say, you can’t put a fire out with gasoline. :3
TECHNICALLY, that means Prozac was right in the first place. The bears (i.e. Nerd and Evil) fought back, caused a crap storm, and now the polar bears are coming back at them more viciously. This is the exact ‘vicious cycle’ that Prozac suggested in the first place!
Long story short, this time, it actually SHOULDN’T be Prozac’s problem.
February 20th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Prozac, you’re always the one to give solutions. You’ve always given advise and solved conflicts between the bears before. Of course when things get hot the other bears are going to come to you to be told what to do when stuff like this happens.
February 20th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati.
Love that show, watch it all the time here in Oklahoma.
February 20th, 2012 at 1:44 pm
I remember watching the Red Green Show when I was a kid! XD I live in Tennessee, too.
February 20th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Dude, I live in Ft. Wayne, IN, and my mom, sister and I LOVE the Red/Green Show!! That stuff is legit!!
February 20th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I live in Minnesota, and we get Red Green on here at night. Our northern brothers and sisters do have good tv. I love Red Green. Love the jokes and the philosophy in that show. Bunch of oddball segments with a running theme that somehow sticks everything together like the Handymans Secret Weapon would.
“Remember, I’m pulling for ya, we’re all in this together.”
February 20th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
“I am a man, but I can change, if i have to, I guess” always cracked me up. It used to be on all the time on PBS here in Iowa, but it hasn’t been on much in a while.
February 20th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
I used to catch Red Green Show late night on MPT (PBS) in Maryland years ago.
February 20th, 2012 at 11:21 pm
Yep, late night PBS for Red Green Show.
Was wondering how long it would take for Prozac to stop caring what happens to everyone.
February 20th, 2012 at 11:59 pm
Still on PBS both Iowa and South Dakota here. closest red green show came to cannon shot into nieghborhood was the Sauage missle episode. Even met red once about 17 years ago a signed roll of duct tape is a prized possesion of mine.

February 21st, 2012 at 2:14 am
My dad and I watched that together when it came on PBS. Loved it. ^.^ “When all else fails, play dead”
February 21st, 2012 at 4:30 am
@Summer omg hahaha small world i live in Spokane too
February 21st, 2012 at 4:31 am
i remember watching clips of the Red Green show, i think he did something disastrous with a lawnmower
February 21st, 2012 at 7:26 am
I live in the States and watch the Red Green show all the time!
February 21st, 2012 at 7:31 am
I don’t know why, but I find this stamp absolutely hilarious!

Whoa! Poor Nerd
February 21st, 2012 at 7:57 pm
Red Greed was awesome! Meeeemories!
February 21st, 2012 at 8:52 pm
Aw the Red Green show! I was too young to remember most of what I saw but what I do remember was pretty funny.
February 21st, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Red Green… one of my favorites. Somehow we managed to get it waaaay down in North Carolina…
One of my favorite episodes was the chainsaw races in the Quarry…duct tape a chainsaw to a skateboard with the blade pointed at the ground… Zooom!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:24 am
Used to watch it on PBS in Pittsburgh, PA. Two episodes of Red Green followed by two episodes of Red Dwarf. Awesome times. I introduced Red Green to my husband about 18 months ago and now he’s got almost the whole series on DVD.
Keep yer stick on the ice!
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:23 pm
For the first time, I feel kinda bad for Gay.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:23 pm
CANADIANS FTW!
hahamy family still references the red green show all the time.
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:45 pm
ok, I have a strange feeling, I want to slap Prozac (hard) across the face, and tell him to stop being a jerk…anybody else feel like that?
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:59 pm
You know, this may seem wrong, but I have no sympathy for any of these bears once so ever. Evil, being the dick he is definitively deserves what he got. Nerd should have never fueled the fire and wanted to play God with another bears life. And as we all know from Death Note and Shadow of the Colossus, if you try to challenge God, you get f*cked. Lech was just being stupid in trying to get involved anyway. What did he prove again. The only bear I have sympathy for is Gay; he’s just taking all the verbal abuse from Prozac (who clearly didn’t take his pills yet). So, for the 1st time ever, none of the tortured bears gain any sympathy from me once so ever! Oh yeah, and poor monkey.
Oh yeah, it’s just something weird! You know, a polar bear is drowning a bear under his but; nothing too serious though, just thought you might want to check it out.
February 23rd, 2012 at 12:34 am
Red Green is pretty well-known here in Joplin, Missouri. One of my co-workers seems addicted to imitating the possum call. Great show.
February 23rd, 2012 at 8:46 am
I was always a casual fan of Red Green. I loved the unflappability of the character; just ready to take anything in stride. It was kind of fun watching Ian Thomas playing the boastful American Dougie Franklin (while his real life brother Dave played the stereotypical arch Canadian Doug McKenzie on SCTV–anyone remember the Great White North?)… I remember one episode where they were trying to get him to say “Canada”; one of the clues was “It’s the country you’re in” and his response was, “Is that STILL a country??” I think they best parts though were the “Adventures of Bill” spots with Rick Green. He was always taking a shot in the jewels, just like certain bears around here. Wincing, but funny.
February 23rd, 2012 at 11:17 am
Ahahahaha! I love Red Green! I’m in the lower bit of Idaho, but we still get it later at night on PBS. It’s one of my favorite shows to watch when I hang out with my dad.
February 23rd, 2012 at 11:30 am
I love the Red Green Show. I think it’s what inspired me to be a designer, cuz if the women don’t find you handsome, they should atleast find you handy. Coming from a Virginia/Africa girl.
February 23rd, 2012 at 12:07 pm
@Blacky: Agreed!! And…just FYI for the future it’s “whatsoever” rather than once so ever.

whats the white creature with black tipped ears and tail?
February 25th, 2012 at 4:39 am
Red Greene in awesome. I live in SoCal, and it only ever showed on PBS around here… rarely, and with such inconsistent scheduling that it was basically impossible to actually plan to watch it. In other words, it was de facto not broadcast at all. I was actually introduced to it via a friend who’d taped a bunch of episodes, and for the longest time (basically until the advent of youtube) that’s all I ever saw.
My favorite was his car stuff. Things like giving his car gull wing doors by tearing the door off, punching a hole in the roof, and wrapping duct tape around the top of the window frame and through the hole.
February 25th, 2012 at 7:33 am
I just noticed, Prozac’s pretty angry yet he hasn’t “hulked”
February 25th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
I’m in New Brunswick, so had plenty of exposure to the Red Green Show over the years.
Reading the comments about that reminded me of a local news story a few months back about a group boys who were making and selling duct tape wallets (apparently found the instructions on youtube) to raise money for a friend from their elementary school. He’d been spending a lot of time in and out of a children’s hospital over the past year, so they were doing it to help cover some of the family’s expenses.
A lot of the duct tape invention ideas on the show were actually viewer submitted, and that’s the sort of thing that would have probably ended up getting the kids invited on to the show if it was still being produced.
February 26th, 2012 at 12:23 am
I watched the Red Green show when I was a kid, and I live in Thailand! Duct tape ftw.
February 26th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
holy crap, I LOVED the Red Green Show! I don’t know how I managed to get the signal from way down in southern California, but I sure loved it. Excessive amounts of duct tape to make muffin cannons, etc. Beast mode!
