  • I always knew that after the war, all that would be left would be the icky purple soda. That stuff stains your eyeballs.
  • This is just awesome! Pop-alypse Now made me giggle!
  • Absolutely awesome.
  • That is so incredibly great. The more I stare at the gasmask dude in the last panel, the funnier he looks! Awesome job, guys.
  • That's just beautiful. I want a wallpaper based on one of the panels.
  • This is awesome, I love it.
  • Grape soda? Really? I guess that's pretty cool.
  • So, is this where the Purple Ninja got his start?
  • Sometimes I want soda that badly.
  • it's a flavor explosion
  • That stuff can't be much better for you than nuclear fallout
  • I want to know what he has in that satchel.
  • I would have pushed the red button.
  • haha! loved the expression on his face!
  • After the apocalypse I would want nothing more than a cool drink. Nicely done.
  • Really, you have to appreciate the speed of some greedy corporation to conveniently make an apocalypse-themed soda. At the very least, they made that nice backglass for the survivors.
  • I like how the soda machine says "Pop-alypse Now!"
  • I'm in suspense as to our post-apocalyptic survivor's fate. Is he drowning, or deliciously refreshed? Also, what's powering the soda machine, or are we missing the panel where it steals his money and he crowbars it open?
  • It's powered by the deadly radiation of the land.
  • I'm also a bit confused about the last panel, but I like it either way. In one, he's figured out a way to drink the stuff without exposing himself to the radiation and his expression is one of delirious bliss. In the other version, the evil corporation that engineered the apocalypse left these soda machines around for the few people that donned protective equipment in time. The can suspiciously fits into the gas mask and instantly floods the victim, forcing him to decide between drowning in grape soda and removing the mask and exposing himself to toxic radiation. Or at least that's my take on it.
  • @jake
    Wow, you are over thinking this too much.
  • Excellent reasoning, Jake!
  • His shoulder belt is missing in the final panel.
  • Actually, it isn't. If you look in the second panel, you can see that from the correct angle, it would be blocked by the collar. It is possible that at the overlap between the upper and lower collar, the belt would be showing, but it's also possible that it would not. Also, the panel cuts before showing where the lower collar ends, so the collar is hidden, but not missing.
  • He's just a guy who wants a soda, can't figure out how he's going to drink it without taking off his mask. He figures out a way, but now he's flooded himself in grape soda. Kinda like, oops. We've all done stupid stuff like that.
  • Well, in any case radiation has nothing to do with gas masks. Chemical fallout, possibly, but then again if it was realistic the strip would be moot.

    Funny, though.
  • Wouldn't you want to keep radioactive dust out of your lungs?
  • I'd've gone for the Nuka Cola, myself.
  • I lol'd anyway
  • It is actually possible to drink while wearing modern gas masks. They use basically the principle pictured above, except that the filter stays on and the bottle or canteen is screwed to a adapter which has a straw you can drink from.
  • And if you ever in your life tried to use the stupid things, you know they're completely worthless. Thank god no one's ever used the nastygas, that would be a very thirsty couple of days.
  • Idiot
  • ye I think u are all stupid to discuse this simplie, lets say that, funny picture, but wtf make story for that, its stupid ...
  • It tastes like purple.
  • Purple Ninja Flavour
  • lol this picture totally reminded me of Fallout 3
    mostly because of the wasteland and the twist on the name of the soda.
    For those of you who don't know in F3, the major soda company is Nuka-Cola (mention above). Also the game takes place after nuclear war which is what makes the joke funny.
