So sad. But isn’t it kind of in keeping with Bloom County? Most of the action is in their heads. Granted, I haven’t really read Bloom County since the strip ended…
Really wondering how the WB/Calvin throw down will go. I think we’re all expecting Calvin to switch sides.
I also noticed the Banana Jr. computer there, and I’m wondering if Oliver Wendell Jones is using it to keep an eye on his buddies; if so, he’ll soon be sounding the alarm, and the battle/exodus will begin.
I also wonder if the Opus-bat will be decanted and revived so he can take part in the coming fight; someone with Opus’ staying power just might give CALv1N one heck of a struggle.
— Captcha just can’t stop bragging about his “grospost length”.
First time commenter! Gee that was fast, but, whenever Milo and Binkley were under pressure they did fold likee origami. Cutter is still over there though! All hail the Weapon!
The bloodless decapitations here remind me of a story arc in “Bloom County,” where Binkley dreamed that he was Luke Skywalker; first he lopped off the head of Darth Dallas, then that of George Lucas.
— Captcha is giving “Clanski problems,” and he won’t quit it.
Wow, that was a well telegraphed bummer. I’ve been waiting for Bloom County (my personal favorite strip. Ever.) to make an appearance, and this is it? Much like the comic, canceled before its time. I know Opus and Steve Dallas are probably still out there, but those two by themselves reeks of Outland, and Outland just sucked.
By and large, JY seems to tap the majority of strictly newspaper strips for characters, though I am sure he may also have nicked a few online-onlies along the line, but beyond that, other media like videogames, etc. is unlikely…
I just noticed a hidden bit of irony: Bink is smoking a cigarette, whereas the original Binkley went to great lengths to make his father quit smoking. Love those hidden little details.
I was very disappointed in the ease in which Milo and Binkley were killed. I would much rather have seen the C.A.L. grab their necks and therefore make it at least a bit of a cliffhanger. You knew they would die, just not that easy…(sigh)
Due to circumstances entirely within my control, there will only be one update this week, on Wednesday. But it will be so good you will not mind more than just a little bit, I swear!
Well, I guess we have run into the end of the surplus from the hiatus….back to the one update/no update for a week period again 🙁
BUT…as long as we’re promised a worthy update in lieu of the regular one(s), I think I can deal……like I have a choice LOL
Wow, that was depressingly quick. I can’t wait now for a real fight scene with good ol’ Chuck. I figure that was your devious plan.
YOU’RE A MONSTER, YUNGBLUTH!! A MONSTER!!!!!!
I hate you.
I love you.
I hate you.
I love you…
While I knew that they would be killed at some point, it still made me sad to see them die.
Bink’s face in the final panel reminds me of Hugh Laurie in full twit mode.
is that a banana 3000? loved those things…

Well, that was certainly easy. And bloodless.

Captcha now wants to fhock syrion
The new springloaded Cal-v-1n action figure comes fully equipped and with new karate chop action and kung-fu grip!
*sigh* At least it was quick. Hopefully CJ won’t suffer either.
He’s still smiling. Why do I get the feeling I don’t want to see him frowning?
Sherlock: notice that the Banana Junior unit has a bifurcated base. Almost like feet…

Seriously. That looked like Guybrush Threepwood.
Captcha, I don’t want to help you “Find hookers.”
@Shatman: Yes, it does….:)

Nice.
Never did like those two.

@Duck King — Opus appeared here: http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2010/06/15/weapon-brown-166/
— Captcha says, “Be vewwwwy quiet; I’m hunting Moulián hoppirs. Hahahahahaha!”

@Gus – I sincerely doubt Cal will change sides, considering who’s side he’s always on…his own.
UPDATE 11/8-
Due to circumstances entirely within my control, there will only be one update this week, on Wednesday. But it will be so good you will not mind more than just a little bit, I swear!

You’re getting it for free. Don’t complain.
@D_SL: WHAT this is free…How come I’ve been sending JY a penny a week.
Love this stuff and even if I had to pay a monthly fee I would still love it, may bitch a bit ut would pay.
Yes! Pay! YOU’LL ALL PAY SOMEDAY!!!
Oops… sorry. That speech is for another occasion.
Captcha latest Al Qaeda franchise suicide bomber: McMartor 188
@sentroller: pennies?? you should be sending him a bullet a week
I reckon it would be a better investment
Hmm… the “CLOP” sound-effects and the style of the decapitations remind me of some old comic I read a long time ago, could it be a Don Martin comic?
My Googling didn’t turn up anything, but I did come across this wonderfull list of Don Martin onomatopoetica: http://www.madcoversite.com/dmd-alphabetical.html
JY, if you give us tyrannosaurs in F-14s, i might just kiss you right on the mouth
I have no idea who these guys are, but they seemed like dicks, so good riddance.
Hey CALv1N, thanks for dropping in!
At least the Bloom County guys got to tallk up a storm! “You’ll need Einstein to do the autopsies” is just awesome!
Oy. Milo went down like a bitch.
So did Binkley, but honestly, he died as he lived: Befuddled.
ReCaptcha wants me to lfmai. Laff my fat ass… in?
