10:1 Cal is launched into the carnivorous Kudzu.
5:1 Cal is torn to shreds by a combination of Weapon Brown/Snoopy.
1:1 Cal dies horribly.
450:1 Cal suffers a fatal coronary upon realization that Hobbes is dead.
1000:1 Hughie stops being useless and actually kills him.
1500:1 Cal wins. Somehow.
15:1 Annie slices him in half, head to groin.
???:1 Walker shows up and wins the day.
Best. Page. Ever. Chuck looks freaking awesome, and Snoop popping up in the corner just as Cal mentions HOBS – brilliant. Can’t wait to see him spit HOBS nutsack up in front of Cal.
Thank you all for your praise and anticipation. I was pretty pleased with the way this strip turned out on very level, so I am happy to see it well received. I’m gonna go look for a clappy-smiley gif to congratulate myself with (maybe there is one in the Lctyli Greenhouse).
One thing not mentioned here that i think will become a big factor in Cal’s defeat is that Chuck has made several mentions that if someone besides him tampers with his arm’s power source, it will basically cause a nuclear explosion. Anyone wanna bet Cal tries to rip it open…?
Whoa, waitaminute, Cal v.1n and H.O.B.S. are based on Calvin and Hobbes?!
Also, captcha agrees with the headless Phantom fans that we are about to witness the entrance of yet one more heavy hitter to the arena: another eldrni
goddamn, this page is artistic perfection. the rough lines of ol’ Chuck contrasting Cal’s sleek, clean design. the unparalleled atmosphere of the shading and backgrounds. the anticipation building in every damn word.
Cal’s gone for the cheap shots, the easy outs, and the mind games and Chuck’s still fighting- but when i asked old man captcha what else he’s got up his stripy sleeve, the drug addled bastards just said “tediates including” and proceeded to gobble up all my expired pain meds.
I’m looking right at the spine of the C&H book in question, and it is “Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat,” rather than “Psycho Homicidal Jungle Cat.” Just sayin’.
Ready to eat the sweet taste of balls. Like a dog, or a beagle?
OOooh man, now we’ve got to wait until Monday for the awesome shock to Cal’s ego.
Chuck’s looking SO grim right now. I guess we were all right on Cal’s healing ability, and that Cal noticed Hughie.
Shit yeah
I noticed the carnivorous Kudzu in the background…
Taking all bets here.
10:1 Cal is launched into the carnivorous Kudzu.

And here comes Cal’s breakdown
How much and which parts of HOBS will Snoopy have in his mouth?
Holy heck that is such an incredible piece of art! Well worth the wait! I wonder when the next update will be! Fingers crossed for Saturday!
Hey Cal… REALITY CHECKS YOU!
GEM. MINT. TEN.
(Captcha just showed me an “eatypeg highlight”. It was the best I’d ever seen the game played.)
I see Cal’s regeneration is finally cleared up: quick, but not quite Wolverine quick.
JZ, gimme the odds on Cal getting blown up somehow.
That rendering of Chuck in panel 1 is among the best stuff I’ve seen you do, JY. Wonderful stuff!
love the reference to the psycho homicidal jungle cat.
so awesome. so badass.
awesome writing/dialog
NO YOU DON’T.
It’s just you, that belt, and three *very* angry and armed people.
For your sake, I hope you stole Batman’s spare.
Thanks, Likjizz.
Somebody’s about to lose all his Happy Thoughts….
Moment of Awesome alert on Aisle 3!
Best. Page. Ever. Chuck looks freaking awesome, and Snoop popping up in the corner just as Cal mentions HOBS – brilliant. Can’t wait to see him spit HOBS nutsack up in front of Cal.
My Guess is, this will Be Cal’s chance to actually prove he is a badass, instead of just popping helpless civilians.
And Captcha says he gets sent back in time to spend 1814-1862 nakedly
J.Y., the shading on Chuck in that first panel is flippin’ AWESOME.
Love how the chickens are coming home to roost.
I think Captcha is trying to woo me with some dirty suggestions about allocative elonged.
JZ, I called dibbs on the kudzu being the ultimate demise for CAL a few installments ago (to counteract his healing/regeneration ability.)
My bet is after taking a pounding, Walker grabs CAL and jumps into the kudzu. SHADES OF A SARLAC PIT!!!
Captcha knows I’m waiting for the next issue, Citylin!
If we’re taking action on Cal’s demise, my money’s on the Garf. Cal might even enjoy his slow conversion into a delicious Tashoc funda.
Guys what if the opposite happens. Like Cal just fuggin loses it after he sees HOBS is dead?
I wouldn’t want to be a secondary character right now, your survival rate just tanked.
Thank you all for your praise and anticipation. I was pretty pleased with the way this strip turned out on very level, so I am happy to see it well received. I’m gonna go look for a clappy-smiley gif to congratulate myself with (maybe there is one in the Lctyli Greenhouse).
Whoa, just noticed the top of Snoop’s head coming up the steps in panel 2. That kind of attention to detail is what puts this over the top.
(Captcha says neditiI University has all the benefits of a traditional University, with the added benefit of learning at your own pace.)
Another awesome strip, JY. Captcha has its own prediction that the headless phantom’s gonna finish Cal off: Corpus doentit.
Why do I still think Cal’s got a spare somewhere…
Mary. ldsycho
Someone is about to start trying to smack a pitbull around and regret it
Hello.

@ JY 2:47 am
I’m surprised that not more people picked up on the Watterson C&H reference. Well done.
@JY 11:45 am
Not only is the artwork great, but that characterization/dialog is awesome. Overall very well put together.

Alexander: Shhhhhhh! You’ll spoil the magic!
Aw man, gotta wait till Monday to get Cal’s reaction to Snoop!
It’s fucking ON now, chaps!
Hey cool! I thought I was the only one who referred to his hand as “mint in a box”!
Just sayin’.
