Cal’s face is starting to look like Weapon’s face … perhaps he is finally experiencing the true loss inflicted by Post-Apocalyptic life in the Weapon-verse?
And there go the Happy Thoughts. Looks like someone can’t fly no more.
Unfortunately, he can still fight. But now that he’s angry, he’s more prone to making mistakes than he was when he was cocky. Chuck, on the other hand, has liquid nitrogen flowing in his veins, so he’s going to be a lot less likely to overreact and make similar mistakes.
Sorry, Cal, but Mint Out Of The Box here against Chuck means you’ll be going into another kind of box real soon.
(looks around for a place to sit down in school as Captcha advises him to “find diesks”)
Sorry I’m late, just reliving the Snoop/HOBBES throwdown in back updates….
The last time Cal uttered those words, Honey ended up a stain on Duke’s shirt, so I see a bad end coming to possibly…everyone LOL
As we have seen in flashback, weapons seem to just be the whipped cream on the violence sundae Cal is…if you want to add it, OK, but if not, still a damn fine dessert 😉
Captcha seems to be playing Cockney about Cal’s injury: the(‘)inged (‘)and
I dunno 🙂 If I were Huey, I’d have no interest in freaks like them running around while the honest folk try to eek out a living. If the people are safe, and Anne is safe, Huey may just take it upon himself to try to ice both of em!
@punx I guess what I’m saying is that if the two of them end up in a lock of some kind, if I were Huey, I’d probably just do ’em both the pleasure, Goku/Raditz style, and have the day be done with.
Now it’s time for Brown to deal out the ass-whoopings! And being the veteran he is, he knows how to push Cal’s buttons to make him seethe and screw up enough for Snoop to get his jaws on him.
I’m going to be pissed if Cal and Hobbes don’t walk away from this. They are begging for either recurring villain status or a pseudo-face turn. (I could see Cal and Chuck always hating each other, but both have reasons to hate the Syndicate.)
@Mordecai: I’m pretty sure this is the final story arc of Weapon Brown and then JY is putting it to rest, so I don’t think there’ll be any re-occurring anything =(
It’s a tough call. Ending it with a true finality would definitely add to the impact of the story but I personally think it would be a mistake to not leave open at least the possibility of a Weapon Brown return some day. (Of course this is influenced by my wish that it never end.)
But I understand an artist’s need to do different things and not be trapped creatively and so must yield to the whims of JY while continuing to plead for the lives of Chuck & Snoop.
Captcha respectfully agrees. Withtact Capitu
I will be sad to see this strip go but JY had me addicted to his work so I will continue following whatever her puts out. Lets just hope that JY ends this properly and not a stupid cliff hanger or Soprano Style.
I don’t see this story’s ending right after Chuck and CAL go at it. Chuck’s still got unfinished business with the Syndicate. So does Anne and her people.
The one-armed desperado, the canine sidekick, and a black guy with the noisy cricket, Why do I feel like a giant space flea is going to drop out of the sky?
How did he get his mega-arm back?! In #240 (there’s a gap of 37 for some reason) C.A.L. V1N took off the twig-arm, and here in the next one he’s got his original nuke back. How’d that happen?
dun dun TUUUUUUUUUUUN!
Captcha is still confused by the 1996, erweatic.
Cal’s face is starting to look like Weapon’s face … perhaps he is finally experiencing the true loss inflicted by Post-Apocalyptic life in the Weapon-verse?
so fucking badass. Awesome writing, awesome characterization and awesome artwork. Go Snoop!!! Go Chuck!!
I love how Chuck isn’t the last bit surprised
The tension is soo thick…
…that i bet they start f*cking each other.
Let’s get dangerous…
Oh boy, now he’s mad.
Dammit, JY. Now what am I supposed to do about this penis-shaped hole in my monitor screen?
That’s the Annie’s-eye view in panel 2.
Where’s freakin Walker?
(captcha has the precise answer: 4.1613 ilersis away and closing)
Tension just keeps building!!!
muh-muh-muh…
Chuck, grandmaster of marble-fu, about to apply his worldly knowledge…
It may not have been a brilliant idea to lean on Cal’s berserk button like that.
Freakin. Called. It. Cal is about to fuggin lose it.
First ones to die are the Ecentsth people

@Pennychucker: That would be a massive FAIL on the part of Hughie, if you get what I mean 🙂
Captcha invokes the Old Ones (to help Cal against Chuck?): increas ctuthos
I’m surprised that Snoop brought the tail. Hob’s head in his jaws would’ve been a much better button pusher.
Snoop turned hobs from a tiger to a Manx cat…
Excellent reference to “Cool Thumb Brown,” JY; I wonder how many others here got it.
— ReCaptcha has a `major suesdre`, so he’s getting a penicillin shot.

Poor Cal, not a friend in the world.
Now it’s time for Brown to deal out the ass-whoopings! And being the veteran he is, he knows how to push Cal’s buttons to make him seethe and screw up enough for Snoop to get his jaws on him.
You don’t suppose this could end in an ultimate Pyrrhic victory, a la Abdul Abulbul Amir?
(Capcha KingDur 303 thinks maybe not.)
I think snoops about to get pasted. No way chuck gets out of this with just a few more superficial scars.

@DeadPup – BITE YOUR FUCKING TONGUE.
I will be sad to see this strip go but JY had me addicted to his work so I will continue following whatever her puts out. Lets just hope that JY ends this properly and not a stupid cliff hanger or Soprano Style.
Oh hell… if this is the part where we beg J.Y. to keep it going… consider me begging.
Even Captcha thinks J.Y. has the power ofppro.
I don’t see this story’s ending right after Chuck and CAL go at it. Chuck’s still got unfinished business with the Syndicate. So does Anne and her people.
@Steve… that’s my thought as well…
@Junii didn’t JY say it somewhere?
The one-armed desperado, the canine sidekick, and a black guy with the noisy cricket, Why do I feel like a giant space flea is going to drop out of the sky?
dnxcel same
I would buy a t-shirt with the last panel of chuck without the dialog. Just Pure Chuck(tm).
How did he get his mega-arm back?! In #240 (there’s a gap of 37 for some reason) C.A.L. V1N took off the twig-arm, and here in the next one he’s got his original nuke back. How’d that happen?
JY: Hmmm… I don’t know what gap you are talking about (anyone else not able to access all the pages?), but here is the moment you seek: http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2014/04/16/weapon-brown-259/
