Sometime in 2000, Dennykun updated his dragonstarcomics.8m.com's sketchbook page with a simple pencil-on-Xerox-paper of the DeLorean from Back To The Future with a simple caption: "When it comes to vehicles there are really only two I can draw, The DeLorean from Back to the Future..."

If that's the case, I'd hate to see a car that you cannot draw well
Directly underneath his pencil sketch of the DeLorean is a sketch of Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters with the continuation text "...and the Ecto-1(A)* from Ghostbusters." Let's not all slap our foreheads at once, shall we? But I digress.

Since Dennykun has commented that the DeLorean is one of the only cars that he can draw well, let us further explore this:

Scott, despite not having any visible source of income, owns a DeLorean. According to the Kelley Blue Book, the 2001 street value of a 1985 DeLorean with less than 20,000 miles on the odometer was $25-$30,000 Worthless Greater American Dollars! The question is begged, where did he (or most likely his parents) get the money to buy that car? It's quite possible that the car came with this novelty license plate frame. It only makes sense. Unless his family is somehow superwealthy. But were that the case, why would Scott wear such tacky spectacles? Wouldn't his family be able to afford Radial Keratotomy?


This is the first time we see the only car that Dennykun can actually draw. Astute viewers will notice that this image was uploaded to Keenspace.com at the very least sixteen days after the proclamation that a DeLorean was one of the only cars he can draw was uploaded to dragonstarcomics.8m.com
Adorable! Kevin makes a hamfisted Back To The Future reference and Scott gets all angry about it, as if Scott had never heard that joke before, unless maybe he had heard the joke before and it was wearing thin like the crotch on his sweat pants. Either way, Scott getting so worked up about his best friend's light ribbing about his silly automobile is just precious. The DeLorean returns three months later (almost to the day) in this strip:

Apparently, Annamae loves me Scott for his boyish good looks and not his expensive car, showing that Annamae has way more depth than all the real girls out there that totally make fun of me him because I'm just so sweet and fun and cool and a great guy to be around. If only the girls took the time to get to know me Scott instead of being instantly repulsed by me him, they'd realize what they were missing and then there'd be a nonstop line of sexy girls totally sucking my cock! I mean Scott's cock!

Another appearance of the DeLorean:

I'd also like to take the time to point out that this strip shows another of Dennykun's persistent inane Kevin Smith references, except in Mallrats, it was "Buy Me Toys!" not "Buy Me Toyc."

Three in a row!


This one's special because it's yet another retarded Kevin Smith reference. FOGClub is just chock full of them. Furthermore, I'd, in a heartbeat play for a hockey team called the "Keiths"

If I see that DeLorean one more fucking time...


It's also worth pointing out that this is another ridiculous instance of music appearing in a comic strip.

There it is again! He obviously cannot get enough of showing off that fucking car! Truly, Dennykun must believe, believe deep down in his heart of hearts that the DeLorean is the superior nerdcar, the one that all fanboys will see and instantly launch an epic nerdgasm-induced jealousy attack upon the owner. And this of course goes part and parcel with the FOGClub self-insertion wish-fulfillment ethos. Scott is the nerd that Dennykun wishes he could be: one that's loved by everybody, always the center of attention and adored by everybody. It's said that all men aspire to be three things: President of the United States, Heavyweight Champion of the World and Scott Akimoto - and even the first two aspire to be the third.


This is the beginning of the story arc where Scott seduces Annamae by kareoke-singing the theme song to Escaflowne at her in a perfect storm of fantasy anime gamer nerd wish-fulfillment. Ah! My Goddess! ain't got shit on FOGClub. No, seriously. You should read it, it's hilarious
Interestingly enough, below is the last-ever appearance of Scott's DeLorean.
Farewell you beautiful machine, your presence will be missed.

It's been postulated among the fandom that either Dennykun just plumb forgot about Scott's DeLorean, his Rich Parents decided to repossess it after his supposed death, or that Dennykun realized that having his main character drive around in a DeLorean is absolutely fucking retarded. Knowing him as well as I do, I think the last option is as close to the mark as he's ever been to a real, live human vagina.

Scott’s embarassment implies he would rather not be rolling the DMC-12, and possibly that the Kanenwisher believes a De Lorean is just the kind of lemon you get saddled with when you are an impoverished college student who cannot afford anything without stainless steel bodywork, gull-wing doors and sky-high nerd cachet. I think I need to go car shopping. Comment by Usagi — December 12, 2007
