    “He plays rough”-That’s from the Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin brings Hobbes to school and wants him to maul the bully, Moe. He tries to get Moe to take Hobbes,and he says “Hobbes plays rough, but he’s lots of fun” (or something like that). Then Moe thinks a teacher is watching, so he won’t take Hobbes. But Calvin and Hobbes think it’s because Moe is scared of Hobbes.

    Oh, and I’m very excited to see Hobbes in action here.

    In “Tumbleweeds” Snookie isn’t soft in the head, he’s only 12 years old. He’s just developmentally, um, advanced because he gestated for 18 months.
    I’m not so sure he deserves what he’s probably going to get. He seems kind of sweet-natured.

    I am waiting for a sudden change in Hobs body similar to blanket.

    Hopefully, he’ll eviscerate everyone in the place apart from Rose, Pasquale, and Jimbo.

    That way, Cal can walk in, sit down at the counter, and ask where his chili is like nothing happened, while all of the survivors are scared shitless.

  4. Jody

    Flab: “Survivors”. Ha. Good one. :)

  5. MeatShield

    Was Snake-Eye deliberately designed to look like Danny Trejo, or was that an accident? Because either way it’s great.

    And I love that Snookie is still wearing his sailor’s cap. With the ribbon.

  6. HAL 9000

    @TheArchitect Nice job building suspense. I feel my mind going already.

  7. punx

    I think the teaser image from a month or so ago is about to make its storyline appearance….I see the jaws on Hobbes opening up and swallowing poor Snookie’s head like a jalapeno popper….followed by Snake-Eye’s hand with the revolver in it…and MeatShield, hadn’t taken notice of the resembalnce, but you might be right, even if it was accidental…..

    Hey, JY, any chance we good little Blockheads can get a Friday update, just because this is too good to have to wait alll the way to Monday to see more of it?

    (Yeah, I know, if I have to ask, it won’t happen, but a Blockhead can dream, right?)

  8. punx

    @Richard: You might be right, but this is Weapon Brown, not Tumbleweeds, brother….:)

  9. punx

    To correct myself, that teaser image is from a month and a half ago, and as I look more deeply into the image, I see Snookie’s face, not sure if it’s his whole head, under a counter seat, and Snake Eye’s faceless body in a stall toward rear right of frame…I also think Rosie’s hand is also visible on the counter :)

  10. Richard

    Stop trying to figure out what’s going to happen. Just savor the suspense.

  11. Butterfly

    I spy a Dominic Deegan reference in there.

  12. Michael

    The cockroach in the penultimate panel! I never know the names of newspaper comics, because I only read them when I find one someplace where I have nothing else to do, but that cockroach is a newspaper comic character. I’m thinking his name is something really creative, like La Cucaracha.

    Also, I’m figuring Hobbes is just like in the strip – imaginary. Cal is going to eviscerate everybody and imagine it’s Hobbes eating them.

    Captcha has forgotten how to spell, even with the University. implace.

  13. Michael

    Also, what’s the roadkill? It has a little diamond on its forehead.

  14. Michael

    Also: “Death from above”. Hahahaha!

  15. Fading Aura

    Michael: The roadkill is more than likely Peekaboo, the family cat, from Rose is Rose.

  16. Sherlock_Watson

    Him not gonna be soft for long. Of course, we probably won’t see the actual slaughter, because JY is saving HOBS’ big transformation scene for the final battle. Most likely, CALv1N will walk back in after the tiger makes cat food out of everyone, and him will be soft again.

    – Captcha: IN yuliner.

  17. sentroller

    Great line…”he plays rough” cannot wait to see the outcome of this though I bet it is pretty predictable. Go H.O.B.

  18. Alexander

    The roadkill couldn’t be…Roadkill, could it?

  19. Beepo the Clown

    I can’t wait to see the page where Hobbes turns into a robot tiger monstrosity and murders everyone

  20. chris

    This might be a little thing, but can we get the tags back under the comics? I enjoy the lampooning of the funny pages, but my memory regarding some of these comics is a little dim since I read them in my uncle’s collection when I was but a boy.

  21. punx

    @Richard: NO :) Since I have been given foresight, I am just trying to connect the dots, as it were….

  22. lkjsdfkljlkj

    Awesome. Only one more update before fresh Brown. Monday will be a rerun, and then next wedsneday it is all new. So awesome.

  23. punx

    @lkjsdfkljlkj: on what are you basing that statement re: reruns?

  24. xmrhyde

    I’m with Sherlock–Jaws me, Jason. Don’t show the shark until the end…maybe not ever, if you think you can get away with it.

  25. Jody

    Alexander: I am absolutely certain that isn’t Roadkill. If there is one character that would not change ONE IOTA between his regular world and the Weapon Brown universe it would be him.

    I’ll wager we won’t see him in the main storyline, but a panel or two of him in an epilogue would be stellar (and well deserved, Jason. You’ve put a fuckton of work into this and your OCs have earned a place among them :) )

  26. DarkMyste

    i cant wait to see how the Hobbes activates since calvin is not there.

  27. DarkMyste

    And that “road kill” is infact peekaboo from the comic i just noticed the diamond in the middle of the forehead.
    poor peekaboo.

    aww well now all we need to see is jimbo and the archangel, i wonder when hobbes activates will it kill the 2 idiots and then go looking for calvin or just sit there eating the road kill

  28. Michael

    Yes! Peekaboo it is!

    Knowing Jason, the hot chili is Jimbo.

    Captcha said drathily, “It is a strange thing to see in Captcha land.” (When did reCaptcha start using words that aren’t even words? Drathily? Really?)

  29. punx

    @Mikey: Last page, Rose tells Jimbo to get the chili hot, so he is the chili COOK, not the chili itself LOL

    And as for Captcha wordweirdness, I assume it’s so new spambots to crack them have a harder time reading them, I guess…..though honestly, I’m not sure I even as a human type it right, so I am guessing it allows as close to what’s there (had an umlaut on one recently) even if it does look like Martian sometimes :)

    example: porditi Hetruriae, but the last two letters are blended like old time type, and there’s no way to do that typing, but since my comment is here……

    @SW & xmrhyde: sorry, but he already did, 3 years ago :)

    Try this:

    And yes, I remember that preview, but when do you suppose JY will actually show HOBS as a killing machine here in “Weapon Brown”? That’s what I was pondering in my earlier post.

    – Captcha is wondering if someone is standing in quicksand: mansink or.

  34. punx

    @SW: yeah, you have a point, in xmrhyde’s case he probably didn’t realize there is a preview of sorts there…and we just may not see him do his thing this go-round, I think all of it happens while Cal’s in the head, and we walk back into…..well, you know what I’m talking about… ;)

  35. Nick

    I’m just wondering if the last panel is a forced perspective error or if it’s teh CAL transforming into H.O.B.S.
    I remember Dilbert telling Chairman Horns about how CaL’s suit began to morph H.O.B.S.

    Would be deliciously awesome if that’s the case.

    And the Captcha asks the New Math problem to Factor Liannot.

  36. sentroller

    arrggggg…It’s only Friday. Damn you Friday!. Wake me when Monday gets here.

  37. Nick

    I think it would be better if Cal comes back in, those 2 are dead, all the other diner occupants are cowering in fear, and Hobbes just looks like a normal toy :)

  38. Jorpho

    Hey JY, do you suppose you might provide a date for that little Peanuts cartoon snippet? The Google does nothing.

  39. llkjsdflkj

    only one more day (Monday) before the reruns stop and FRESH WEAPON BROWN!!! can’t wait for wednesday!!!

  40. xmrhyde

    Oh no, I saw that. But to extend the metaphor, I saw the JAWS poster outside the theater too.

    I can’t wait until somebody finally makes a horror movie where they never ever show the killer/monster. Closest thing was Seven, and even then they had Spacey’s character state the obvious.

    Captchaeus est: tragulidae liblice. Whatius the fuckius?
