After reading that last panel I think Scott should be more worried about his future misdeeds (and, with a little modification, I think he's discovered the world worst pick-up line).
I cannot really relate. My ancestors came from two idiosyncratic communities that each have there own way of doing things and making moral judgments that don't really interact with the outside world, Armenians and Will Feral Fans.
Just to set the record straight, Victor Meyer died 17 years before WWI even stared. He described the substance known as "S-Lost" ("S" for sulfur and "Lost" for the names Lommel and Steinkopf) 28 years before the breakout of the war. Despite being german, he did so out of scientific interest, and not in search of a deadly weapon. S-Lost is nowadays used for the treatment of psoriasis.
Note from Scott: Thanks for the clarification. I actually threw in the line about how he did a ton of impressive things in an effort to be more fair, but as Jerry Seinfeld once said, "This is comedy. Somebody's gotta get hurt." Usually my work hurts me or Ric, but in this case I did target a dead chemist who's work had some sinister applications.
my first thought from panel 4 was that it was going to reference oscar meyer somehow... but inhalable condiments was awesome... maybe he should try to invent some laughing mayo gas to go with the mustard :-D

At least one of my ancestors was a pirate. I am ok with this.
Oh, dear... I really laughed out loud at that last panel! I thought "inhalable condiment" was pretty good, but panel 4 cracked me up.
One of the few Scott / Rick comics where Rick gets in all the licks! GO, RICK!
The only reason I live in America is because my ancestors were caught stealing sheep, and their punishment options were jail or the New World.
I don't know which I love more--the fact that this is a running joke or that Rick delivered all the best stingers.

It is sooooooo funny !
Just too good! Panel 4 rules on this one.
(Insert hilarity + unrelated cat picture)
Fantastic...inhalable condiment cracks me up.
Wow, Rick is in the driver seat?!? WTF? What did you do that allowed Rick to get the goods on you?

Poor Missy...
@Gregory Bogosian : That's one of the funniest (un?)intentional typos I've ever seen: "Will Feral"
