Weapon Brown 164
Enjoy today’s strip! Savor every detail of the laboriously crafted containment chamber, every particle of broken glass in panel five, because the Dark Betrayer has returned again!
Yes, my week is committed to my trip to Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC this weekend. As such, I must deny you another update until after I return.
I hate the Betrayer as much as you, and wish he were not the cruel Heckle to my sweet-natured Jeckle. But I promise that my return will herald such unprecedented bad-assery that the tension of the wait will seem like that blessed eternity before orgasm which is the animating principle of the Living Force itself.
UPDATE: Yes, I am return-ed! New strip this Friday! Woo hoo! Of course, maybe there is still another container within the one that just exploded….

Dude, you don’t have any respect for your readers’ cardiac health. Cliffhanger after cliffhanger!

@artiecoon: You are just realizing this? You should have your Blockhead status revoked, sir! LOL

Tjis is, of course, the irony of dribbling out a graphic novel as a web strip. In print for, the last two weeks of suspense would have been resolved in something like 42 seconds.

Lisa stood outside the home of Mr. Captcha, her Colorado paramour, took a deep breath, and slowly pulled the Remington from her purse.

I know, really. What I’d have devoured in a few hours is taking me years!!!!
I like it better this way.
But if I die before you’re done, I’m haunting you. Slacker.

THOU ART A VILLAIN, SIR!!!! That’s right, JY, I just went Shakespearean on yo’ punk ass.
….
He stood silently, staring at the empty halls of Captcha Junior High. The silence was deafening, all-encompassing, and entirely enjoyable. The screaming, overprivileged masses gone for the summer. Triumphant he stood alone. He had taught long, he had taught well, he had TAUGHT OTHER.

I’ve got a feeling that this won’t end well for DIlbert…

The Syndies are DEAD MEAT.

I wonder if, right after he steps out of the freezing chamber, he’ll be covered in frozen condensation and look like one of Calvin’s insane snowmen before we finally see his face.
– Captcha was invited to several parties: fests his.

Awesome strip. Too bad it is the only one for a while, but is pretty sweet.
May 31st, 2010 at 8:49 pm
“Frassh”? Shouldn’t that have been “Frazz”?

Did anyone else notice that Mary is busy looking at the King or Duke, and not at the decanting Cal?
It had gotten old, just going up to some poor schulb and wacking him. Now they liked to give the sucker a bit of hope before they did the deed. Frank turned to his partner and tapped the switch at the base of his palm. “Don’t forget the halos, Jan.”

@SW: Since this is the only update we get, either JY already has that in mind, or with all this time we have you just gave him an idea. Either way, BRAVO!
@Matt Davis: Now that you mention it……it may be, but also due to resolution artifacts (or maybe my newly 40 year old eyes) it looks like that. Final judgement, JY?
(Not that I actually expect a serious answer here, right, sir?)

@Matt
Mary looks like she is observing the reveal of CAL-v.1N to me. But then again, I am afraid to let that scary bitch catch me staring.

I am suddenly reminded of a line from the TV show THE A-TEAM…
\He’s waking up, Hannibal…and when he wakes up, he’s going to bust those straps and feed us our shoes.\
June 1st, 2010 at 12:33 pm
@Matt – I think that’s a piercing, not her pupil.
June 1st, 2010 at 8:47 pm
If we don’t see cal soon, I will scream.
…Come to think of it, Calvin WAS rather destructive in the strip. Didn’t he break at least a lamp once a month?
Captcha’s hallucinating about weird things: Kabobs following

I just realized that I started reading this strip two years ago. WB was turning over Bucksley the first year; Chuck was finishing Crokk the second. At this rate, we’ll have the end of the strip shortly before the world ends in 2012! What a way to go!

I just noticed that reCaptcha is formulating its own plotlines for Max Headroom episodes: are bryce
June 2nd, 2010 at 9:53 am
Oh holy Hell…
Captcha has flashbacks: Vietnamese knowlton
June 2nd, 2010 at 2:00 pm
That’s a lot of glass.
Captcha has forgotten its oral hygiene: been toothier
June 3rd, 2010 at 11:44 am
@Alexander: Frazz does seem oddly reminiscent of a (somewhat) grown-up version of Calvin, doesn’t he?
What do you have to toggle to get actual words in Captcha? Mine this time included “masaryk”, which looks more like a sound effect.
June 6th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
update tomorrow?
June 6th, 2010 at 11:02 pm
I’m guessing more like Wednesday or Friday….but if there’s one tomorrow, I surely will not complain!
June 7th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
I sure hope so, I can only balance on the edge of my seat for so long.
Captcha and I have haven’t exactly gotten along in the past: quarrels our

Could be worse, Dannyboy captcha wants me to rescind my citizenship and move to the Balkans: be serbian
June 8th, 2010 at 3:15 am
And it apologizes for delays, and wants to make amends: expiated cause…then changes its mind when I fail to type, and swaps to aggressive sports beatings!:mean racquets

Am I the only one thinking that when Snoop does eventually return, he’s gonna have a few “after-market” parts?
June 8th, 2010 at 9:13 am
i just have to say i loving this comic!
June 8th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
This comic sureley it is damn great, the bad thing would be that at this rate, we might see snoop again until 2011
June 8th, 2010 at 4:59 pm
I think I understood what you were trying to say Mike T. Man, I really hope Snoop can go back to killing guys and eating balls and just being an all-around badass before next year.
Captcha wants this to be a fair fight: advantage shameful
June 9th, 2010 at 6:09 am
reCaptcha wants to state: the obvious
June 9th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
If there is another container inside of that one i swear to god i will kill everything.
…
OH NO!!! Violent comics have made me want to do violence!!!
captcha says that from now on the ladies must be wearing lingerie: nighty rule
June 10th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
An update anytime soon?
June 11th, 2010 at 12:03 am
update tomorrow?
June 11th, 2010 at 2:41 am
Captcha prophesy about tomorrow’s: morning mods : to the website, thus preventing an update for THREE MORE MONTHS! BWAHAHAHAHA
(I hope it’s a false prophesy)
