Much Doom. Very Patrol. It's the penultimate episode for 2016, featuring the penultimate issue of Doom Patrol volume 1! So everyone get ready to take a drink (poor Cliff) and let's get patrolling!

So let's hop to it! 

Here's the cover for Doom Patrol (v1) #119. 

Some of the visual highlights from Doom Patrol #119

Inspiration comes in all forms, right, Mr. Way?

Just a sip. 

This is DEFINITELY Doug's Dig for #119. 

Larry's being kinda negative. 

Cliff's expression says it all. 

As Paul calls it, "A stranger to blinking."

Creepy guru making Rita a baby. Creepy, creepy guru. 

Another sip.

Everybody has a guru. WilFreD needs one too! 

A regular paramecium, that one! 

Once a nutjob, always a nutjob. . .

And the visual vittles from Doom Patrol #120 (cover can be found on the post from a couple days back).

Rage, Wrecker, rage! 

Aw yeah! Drink.

DRINK.
DRINK. DRINK. DRINK.

RA-2. Also, I'm no brain surgeon, but that doesn't look too good, Cliff. 

A secret room on the Island of Misfit Toys. 

So toyetic. Sigh. 

Groovy. 

New World island! Huzzah! 

At least the Wrecker is kind enough to not deprive Larry of his smokes. 

RA-2, Cliff, it's all the same. 

Truly, no caption required. 

As the guys do, here's a trip down Derington Way

Challenging the Unknown for the win. 

Man. Nick Derington sure has brought us some great, great work this year. I cannot wait to see more from this guy and I hope 2017 puts him at a con I'm going to. (C2E2 sounds good to me, Nick. Just sayin')

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
What is the worst continuation (prequel/sequel) to something?
