I created Doctor McLean for this year's 30 Days of Characters challenge, and this makes the shortest turnaround of one of those characters turning up in the comic.

I'm assuming the doctor is a Pink Floyd reference. Now I have that kazoo solo in my head...

The name is actually a M*A*S*H reference. McLean Stevenson played Col Henry Blake on the show so I combined the actor and character first names.

Well, Pink Floyd's "Corporal Clegg" opens with the line, "Hey there, Eugene, this is Henry McLean", so that's what I thought of.

You are going into the jungle with Bird shot????? OMG! Must have been more afraid of snakes than anything bigger.

because "set phasers to stun" isn't a real thing

but yeah birdshot is a pest control tool, not a weapon

To be fair, they were supposed to be on an archeological dig. So worries about snakes in the undergrowth and beneath rocks are valid concerns

The really crazy thing is, lirvilas (and also me, by a few hours) beat you to putting one of your 30 Days characters into the comic!! ;-D

Well. This is what I get for making characters that serve very specific purposes.

And my characters aren't exempt of that either!
(Those two were kinda cheating though...)

This seems like the origin story for many DC supervillians. Hmm, does he become "The Scarred Treasure Hunter?" Of course that would just be a rip-off of Marvel's Kraven.
