Since the major punch here is the “crushing your head” line, this almost became a Cliptoons with that punchline. I opted to go for the longer format, in part because I need more simple, not-too-wordy strips in the archives and in part because I really need to catch up on strips.
Originally I toyed with having these guys going around the country “crushing the head” of various people. I thought about people I personally revile, such as James Dobson, but decided the joke would only work with figures who are 100% universally hated. The man does have his adherents; damn him one level below the Hell he thinks he’s saving us all from.
I also considered obnoxious celebrities…Paris Hilton, et. al. Ultimately, I went with this “slacker as lifestyle and artform and possibly revolutionary stance” perspective, which has always served me so poorly in real life. 
I didn’t know who James Dobson was, so I looked him up on Wikipedia. Now I revile him too. Although I agree with his “Views on discipline within the family,” up until the “how long should a child be allowed to cry after punishment” part. Or at least the views of the people to whom he’s trying to sell books. I tend to doubt evangelical book salesmen and paid speakers actually believe anything they say.
Here’s the ‘original’ head-crusher:

(Oh, Canada. You gave us Ed the Sock, Loverboy, Mike Myers, Jim Carrey, and Rush. I would find these unforgivable, if not for the mitigating factors of Kids In The Hall and the bands NoMeansNo and Kittie.)
