Scatterpulse, a good question! This strip was created before the character was fleshed out (at all) and I didn’t give it any thought at the time. Looking back, I also wondered who lit the brood signal. Then the obvious answer occurred to me. You might even be able to guess. DBMD-Man lights the signal himself! He probably claims it “intimidates the criminal element,” and vehemently denies that it is blatant self-promotion.

The “brood signal” is hilarious. Both the image and the concept. I wonder who lights it…?

Hahaha, that’s brilliant! I assumed he lit it himself and tried to pretend other people were doing it to make himself seem more important.
