Our own Rick Chandler loves the old Saturday afternoon serials, and he really loves comic strips. So, to fill the time and Super Bowl piffle, he put together this special installment of Hercules' misadventures in our little world. He put a lot of time into it, so enjoy, or at least appreciate.
It all happens after the jump ...

Is this the new SSW?
Where is my piece of Bazooka Joe bubble gum?
hercules! hercules!

Just another excuse for gay lion porn on Deadspin . . .
That's historically inaccurate! Where's the gay centaur?
Otherwise, very well done.
When does Rick get a book deal?
This doesn't compare to that one Garfield where he talks about how much he loves lasagna! I mean, it's a cat and he's eating lasgna! That's people food!
Tragic joke crutch analogy time!

This is amazing. I hearby declare that Brady Quinn be henceforth known as the Goat Molester.
Can I buy some pot from you, Rick?
You miss ONE Deadspin production meeting, and you miss a chance to name the segment Mystery Deadspin Theater 3000.
I only read cartoons that feature the "Not Me" ghost.
What the hell just happened? Who mixed fumetti with my sports snark? And why?
That was a good MST3K.
Good job, Rick.

...'SUSS--... Richard Basehart?
@iHaveaRagingTebowner:
... he's eating lasagna! That's people food.
That's just silly. Italians aren't people!
@'Suss--: I presume that this makes Tuffy our Tom Servo, or Htom Sirveaux?
Man, I can't wait until Rick does Schindler's List.
Rick, this man over here is a doctor.
He's here to talk to you.
Even an arthritic, toothless lion can still f*ck the sh*t out of you. I'm glad he's dead.
The next Afternoon Movie better be Eegah. After all, Tom looks like a Cabbage Patch Elvis.
They're steam cleaning the horses!
@Stay Away From Oprah: And it's always there, in the bottom right hand corner, just waiting to suck.
Eegah?
@ Suss

If Rick doesn't do Sinbad next, well, I don't know what I'll do.
Probably nothing. Well done, Rick.
It makes much less sense if you watch the YouTube intro.
You're not mister current events are you Rick? Hercules just tested positive for Winstrol yesterday. We all know that if he was clean, Fuck Lion would have owned him.
Lion hosting PTI >>>>>> "Five Good Minutes" with CHB
"Jerkules" slayed me.
Next Episode: Hercules learns that the only way to defeat the mythic beast of "Around the Horn" is to burn the neck stumps once the head has been cut off.
Rick, mad props if you do Blacula Meets Black Dracula next week.
that's historically inaccurate. dee mirich has long preferred stagecoaches, not chariots.
@ArmansCopyOfSwank: wouldn't that be some sort of Hydra or something? Or is it once you cut off Mariotti's head, that's it?
TAP OUT, BITCH!
/classic
Well, at least I know what Harry Hamlin's been up to.
That was great. Kudos, Rick. I like the middle of the movie with the sex and talking horses the best.
I enjoyed it, but I sure as hell didn't appreciate it.

@suss
Does that Kyle Orton is Torgo?
@Camp Tiger Claw:
Plans to major in biology
Oh, but he is already is.
@Gourmet Spud:
Nice spellcheck nice
@Camp Tiger Claw: Plans to pursue medical school, huh? I can certainly think of one area of specialty that he might be "well equipped" to study.
There are currently 68 "Long Wang's" on facebook.
@Crookednose: Veronica Mars and Dancing with the Stars, I think. : )
I hope the Deadspin Afternoon Movie becomes a regular feature. Also, SSW sucked.
@Crookednose: He also has been inflating his wife's lips with a bicycle pump.
@Camp Tiger Claw: I hear their manager's name is "Enormous Genitals".
@Signal to Noise: Yeah, I was going for the Hydra reference. It was either that or tie ESPN/Fox Sports to Hercules using the river to clean out the stables, but I couldn't make a connection between EPSN or Fox to horseshit. No, I just couldn't think about how the quality of reporting at ESPN or Fox could be compared to horseshit. ESPN, Fox, and horseshit. Nope, no analogy whatsoever.
@OhTheHugeManatee: That was the one that got me, too.
@MDT:
or Schindler's Fist
@Lady Andrea: Once Ditka turned down Dancing with the Stars, I lost interest. If the one-legged Beatle chick could do it (sort of), then double knee-replacement Ditka would have been something to behold.
@Weed Against Speed: Last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.
That first panel has it all - Brady Quinn playing a man flute surrounded by goats and grease.
@1980 David Bowie From The Music Video Ashes To Ashes: Agreed, and agreed. More DAM, please.
