Or maybe to the Cargo Cult, surfboards reminds of them of their very large serving trays which is used to serve ala-carte delicacies such as roasted pig or in this case, (future) roasted surfers ala-carte!
Actually the Iron Cross wasn’t specific to the Nazi’s it was actually used well before World War I and is even used today in the German Bundeswehr (“Federal Defence Force”.)
Probably not, since the Germans focused on Europe and Northern Africa, whereas the South Pacific and Asia were Japanese territory (or, so the Japanese wished). Most likely it’s a combination of the anime hair and their claiming to be professional surfers when, clearly, they are not. Such offenses cannot be tolerated!
Professional Surfers is probably the Surfer Dudes best pick-up line for the babes and all…Very pathetic if you ask me…Now if they said Professional Mercenary Surfers..that would have been more interesting!
Actually, “Jews in Space” was more action packed than “Hitler on Ice”. Spaceships, laser blasts and Tie like figthers…and the rabbis, don’t forget the rabbis.
i can see it now:
Twin Rabbis of the Space Tabernacle versus the Iron Sky-Nazi; a film by Quentin Tarantino
[Cyborg hitler-clone tries to destroy New Babel Tower using some sort of weapon beam that makes 'piwoo' noises when he shoots it. The Jew Duo combats this with brotherly love, the love of the God of Abraham - and ridiculous amounts of firepower. Some lady, probably Uma Thurman, walks around in a silvery outfit and talks without any facial expressions, or vocal inflection.]
No way, no freaking way! I had no idea you dudes were surfers!
(but why does that make them want to kill you?)
It’s against their religion?
Lost in translation regarding the words “Professional Surfers”:
In Old Tribal Lingo – “Professional Surfers” means “Man Whore, please pay me first before service is given”
New Tribal Lingo – “Professional Surfers” means “Man Whore who taste good! Please eat me!”
High Tribal Lingo – “Professional Surfers” means “Man Whore who tastes awful so we sacrifice him to appease the volcano god!”
Low Tribal Lingo–”Don’t forget the ketchup!”
Did he do an accidental nazi salute?
Maybe it was a gang sign…..
It’s 1942, right? He probably looks too Japanese.
Only if you mean Japanese anime [Lordy, that HAIR!]
Geez, Guys!
What the hell did HE do to get up yer’ collective nose–*Huh!?*
[Perhaps it's the logo on his t-shirt]
It’s probably because he touched the chief’s surfboard. NOBODY touches the chief’s surfboard.
Surfers -> Deserters, I expect.
There’s a connection there?
Maybe surfboards are sacrilegious because they aren’t airplanes?
Or maybe to the Cargo Cult, surfboards reminds of them of their very large serving trays which is used to serve ala-carte delicacies such as roasted pig or in this case, (future) roasted surfers ala-carte!
I LIKE that explanation, Jago–
[And save me leg]
leg meat is too stringy… (not that i would have any way to know that… heh heh) you wanna go for the pecs.
Yes!
I’ve always liked the white breast meat!
maybe by “help” they meant “offer themselves up as a human sacrifice” or something?
although surfers-deserters does also sound possible…
Only if the connector is “Loafers”, I suppose…..
Good call, Xav!
incidentally, in panel 3 his logo almost looked like a sound effect (totally thought he was screaming like a little girl)
[Drat! I meant this comment to be down here....]
Good call, Xav!
They probably think he’s either Japanese or a heathen that needs to be sacrificed to whatever made up god they worship. (It’s a tribal island thing.)
cargo cult god = john from
Perhaps they figure Surfers are already half-cooked, what with those golden tans……?
So our surfer dudes are technically “Men Ready to Eat” or MREs? Sucks to be them!
Either way, they’s TASTY!
MREs – LOL
many surfers ware iron cross necklaces (the symbol of the nazi army besides the swaztica )
Actually the Iron Cross wasn’t specific to the Nazi’s it was actually used well before World War I and is even used today in the German Bundeswehr (“Federal Defence Force”.)
But do our Natives know that, I wonder?

Surf Mercenaries would be the most ultimate premise for any form of entertainment imaginable.
It’s right up there with “Hitler on Ice” and “Surf Nazis Must Die!”
Long live TROMAVILLE!
And they haven’t even watched the required Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello “Beach Blanket” movies!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_party_film
“Hitler on Ice” was boring, that was up until Captain America came in and knocked his ass out!
You mean, there really WAS a movie called “Hitler on Ice”?
[I just thought Mel Brooks made that one up in "History of the World: Part 1".....]
Actually, “Jews in Space” was more action packed than “Hitler on Ice”. Spaceships, laser blasts and Tie like figthers…and the rabbis, don’t forget the rabbis.
Yeah!
Those rabbis are a BLAST!
[And they dance nice, too!]
Ok Jago sure why not, hell for good measure we’ll also throw in the Nazis from “Iron Sky” for more ridiculousness.
Familiarize yourself with the Mel Brooks classic History of the World Part 1.

Hey, I’d spend ten bucks on that, just to see it in 3-D!
