Cal’s expression in that final panel is pure nightmare fuel. Good thing I wasn’t planning on sleeping anytime ever again anyways!

“Used toilet paper”?
Lovely, lovely meta

Hah, I like the shawl on Aunt May that’s got the “spiderweb” motif. Too bad it looks like she’s got some of that radiation poisoning though.

The last pannel makes Cal look like he going to nut in his pants.
As much as I don’t want to agree with him: he has a point. The mutations of these people are drastic and immeasurable. Not to mention there is only so much Shmoo to go around.

Please tell me ‘Spiderman’ is going to make a misguided attempt to save the day.

Ah. So, this is about newspaper comic sections being too full of old-guard and legacy strips. Interesting that Yungbluth has the villain make this comment.

You can’t have a good villain unless he knows how to be a total dick. The boy is getting it down.

“Everything we do is one for the record book!”
Damn straight, calvin. Damn straight.

Cal doesn’t give a shit. He could be hiding that they intent to reduce the population of the bunker and lure Anne into a false sense of security but he decide to show his hand right from the bat, knowing full well it would put the Schmoo in jeopardy. The syndicate, as any greedy corporation, is just full of stupid for not properly submit Cal.
Doomed, everybody is doomed.

Cool gathering and like seeing Aunt May but then a question popped into my marvellous head: Will the Man of steel be showing up sine he is also has appeared in comic strips.

@sentroller
Superman? If he couldnt stop the nuclear disaster from spanking the world: I doubt he is still around to make an impact on anything here.
At the same time; I think Aunt May is there to kind of portray that if there were any super heroes: they are gone now.

@Red – “I think Aunt May is there to kind of portray that if there were any super heroes: they are gone now.” I like that. It’s downright beautiful.
Captcha is looking to uncover the greatest conspiracy of all time when he finds the lyzum member.

Aunt May is there to remind the world that the Spider-Man strip takes up two column inches of space per day that could be better utilized by a vacuum!!!

awesome characterization

@JY: And yet the newspaper Spider-Man never tried to fob off anything as dumb as One More Day on us…
April 22nd, 2011 at 6:45 pm
@d-sl: Doesn’t really matter is Cal’s the hero or the villain in this particular incarnation. The fact remains that Calvin and Hobbes was indeed one for the record books more often than not, so it’s perfectly appropriate to have Calvin himself remind us of that.

@Red – “I think Aunt May is there to kind of portray that if there were any super heroes: they are gone now.
My guess is Spiderman made a faustian deal that resulted in the end of the world, but hey, Aunt May lives on!

God… please let me see frank and earnest die… seeing the family circle kids getting eaten by a tiger was wonderful, as I am fairly certain the only that strip ever existed was an attempt at an old man to buy his way into heaven… but there in no excuse for Frank and Earnest to continue existing…

If submissions are being made for who should be killed next, here are mine:
* Frazz
* The girl from “Prick(ly) City”
* The entire cast of “Baby Blues”
* Frazz again, just to make sure
BTW, I’m glad to see Sam as his original self, rather than the watered-down “Sam and Silo” version.

Have Cathy become the sacrifice (since she retired anyway to twinkie city in south florida). Nail her to the cross. With each hammer of a nail one of her acks will display, in the end, about two weeks because she is so overweight, she will look down at herself and say I can lose weight. Each day a larger audience of men and lesbians show up to watch her become one of the most ravishing beauties of comicdom. but this is not my comic, just a suggestion.

LOVED the One More Day shoutout. Genius.
JY, the Spider-Man daily strip serves a very important, albeit accidental, function–it shows just how brilliant Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko were.
Captcha is Ebenezer Scrooge’s two word resume: ivehated ules!

Is CALv1n an avatar for Bill Watterson now?
If so, I wonder what Schulz’s response would be via Chuck…
April 24th, 2011 at 12:07 am
JY, something just occurred to me: Aunt May didn’t start out in newspaper comic strips, so if she can be here, why not Felix the Cat? He could be a shape-changing mass of contaminated shmoo, taking on CAL until Chuck is ready to finish him off.
Just a thought.
– Captcha `gave tryNEU` for Christmas last year, and he’s still getting hate mail.

…is that Mandrake and Lothar?
April 24th, 2011 at 3:33 pm
no, they’re from that other strip about a top-hatted magician and his large bald skin-draped sidekick of African origin.
There are just so many characters I’d like to see die horribly. Glad to see the born loser in the line-up. Personally, I think I’d give Frank and Ernest a pass for being occasionally funny (at least back when I was most recently paying attention).
