Previously in KandyLand:
While making a run for the Mike & Ike gang, the kid-who-would-become-LemonHead was knocked unconscious and subjected to tortures by the diabolical Mr. Smarty Pink. After being submerged in a vat of boiling lemon juice, the kid is left for dead.

I had this idea for LemonHead’s origin from the moment I conceived of the character. Newt did a masterful job in this strip bringing the climatic moment to life.
Since we are both film buffs and fans of Sam Raimi, it should be of no surprise that we used a Dark Passage/Darkman riff in the fourth panel.
