Do you believe in – no, wait. Yep, they’re all dead.
This one goes out to Sean George. Because he loves hockey.
Anybody going to be in Austin, TX this weekend for STAPLE? Please, let us know, we can all hang out and you guys can buy me alcohol and stuff.

I like the Kirby dots in the last panel. Nice one, guys.

What I love is the use of the flag on the Latverian Hockey Jersey’s. It’s the same flag from those Doom mini-series from 10 years ago set on Counter-Earth. I loved that series.

I bet Latveria has a kick ass national anthem.

Makes me think of the Dr. Doom ride at Islands of Adventure, or rather the wait in line part – lots of Latveria-themed nationalistic stuff there. Don’t remember if they played a “national anthem” though…
Oh, and great strip!

I wouldn’t mind a reoccurring appearance from the Doom-bot hockey team in LBFA from time to time.

A great national anthem indeed, Mcgone. It’d have to be pretty good to beat out the old national anthem of the USSR, though.

Mathematicscore – Since he just sent his Doombots to play in the Olympics, I have to imagine Doom has little time for anything.
The Question – You have Curt to thank for that one. Well, I mean, he sent me a picture of the flag and said, “Be sure to incorporate this somehow.”
McGone – Surely.
Gavin – I didn’t think of that at the time, but you’re not wrong.
April – DOC-TOR-DOOM! DOC-TOR-DOOM!

Matt Drane – I don’t know if anything was the actual anthem, but I definitely remember them playing very Doom-ish music in that line. Speaking of that ride, I rode it like 5 times when I was down there last summer with my little cousins.
Matt Drane (2) – I think I know what you mean. Like this, right?

Now you KNOW you need to sell these jerseys. I will buy 15 of them.

SUNOVA! I was going to do this for a spring league hockey team. Latverian National Team, with Doom’s face as the logo.
Good stuff guys.

Have to agree with Sean, I would love to have a Latveria jersey.

Yeah. Latveria jerseys need to happen. I’ll do whatever sexual favors are necessary for this to occur.

The third panel rocks! I know it’s been said many times, many ways, but Latvia’s team looks badass (especially with the Kirby Krackle in the background)! I hope you can find a way to use the character design again in another strip.

I bet the Latverian’s kick ass national anthem is set to the tune of Gustav Holst’s “Mars: Bringer of War” from the planets.
