Verbally Abusive Monsters
 

We all know how awful it is when monsters attack us. But occasionally there is a monster that crosses another line and becomes verbally abusive before attacking. This is literally adding insult to injury and it is a horrible thing to do to someone.

A good example can be seen here in this excerpt from Marvel Comics' "BEWARE!" #1 from 1973. It shows a werewolf being very rude and insulting when disturbed in the middle of its poetry-reading session. The werewolf says "You Englishmen are all alike" and calls the hunter a "fool" and a "cad" and a "little man."

"Shocking"is the only word for it.

What do you expect ? The Englishman called him a STUPID werewolf.

Not to mention a COWARD.

Yeah, but that was still rude of the werewolf. He's mean to call the hunter a "little man."

yeah, i know that if someone interrupted me while i was reading (and i do that a lot) i would do more than yell at the person who did it. especially if they're pointing gun at me. i think the werewolf was pretty sensible about the whole thing.

Everyone sides with the monster??!?!??!

What awful people.

Maybe so but I guess its better than the alternative, which would be ripping his arse to shreds.

Well,to be fair...the hunter IS bothering him.
I mean would werewolfguy have gotten all snippy if he was allowed to finish something he probably worked very hard at?
I mean to hold the pen alone....

Yeeaaaahhh, I ....guess you're right.

The hunter was bothering him.









But that's still rude of the werewolf though

Okay, maybe it's not.

You have a point.
Just because someone is rude doesn't mean you should be rude back,right?

I am so glad we have comics that show us how to be ethical.
And of course good people like crabapple to expound on such mysteries.
