Weapon Brown 248
You should all have my appearance at Wizard World Chicago later this week pencilled in on your page-a-day Dilbert calendars and your plane tickets already purchased. This is consuming my schedule, so there will be only one strip this week, posting tomorrow. Next week I will be hustling to prepare for the Baltimore Comic-con, so there will also only be one strip, on Thursday. You think you’re suffering? I’m the one who has to sell this stuff!
I know at least one fan of this site will be hunting me down with a crossbow at Chicago. Are any more of you Blockheads planning to be there?

Is that layer of spherical nobules under Hobs’ skin Sugar Bomb Puffs?!
August 4th, 2011 at 12:25 am
I think it’s stuffed-animal stuffing. Appropriate.
I also liked the second panel, from the Peanuts strips featuring Snoopy vs. “the cat next door.” Again, appropriate.
August 4th, 2011 at 12:33 am
Heh.
This is getting good, especially both Hob’s reaction to his “wound” and, though subtle, Snoop giving him the “claw” in last frame LOL
August 4th, 2011 at 12:47 am
Love the expression at the end.
“Whatcha got now, bitch?”
August 4th, 2011 at 2:07 am
Panel 2 FOR THE WIN!!!!
Also, Snoop giving Hobbes the finger – but panel 2! Oh, yeah!
August 4th, 2011 at 6:40 am
It’s about to go down. I’d put my money on HOBS if we didn’t know that Snoop already survives. (But in what shape, cruel JY?) And shouldn’t HOBS have been captured by a pretty female at least once before his now imminent demise?
Captcha describes Snoop perfectly, for he is the dog “of survivin lyoner”
August 4th, 2011 at 7:30 am
Does this mean HOBS got the stuffing knocked out of him?
August 4th, 2011 at 7:43 am
It definitely looks like HOBS is stuffed with Atomic Sugar Bombs.
And the last panel is made more badass by Snoop’s scar going over his eye.
Captcha seems to want to trade weapons but can’t quite get it right: exchate flint-lock
August 4th, 2011 at 7:58 am
It looks to me like he’s doing a “bring it on” gesture. I guess dog paws aren’t very expressive.
August 4th, 2011 at 10:18 am
No, I think he’s doing an ‘F you you’re dead’ gesture. HOBS is just gonna leak out all over the floor and that’s gonna be it for him. Awesome!
August 4th, 2011 at 10:43 am
I think technically Hobbes would be filled with “chocolate frosted Sugar bombs” if I recall my C&H correctly.
August 4th, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Considering the way Snoop has ‘em hanging out like that, he’s lucky it was just the tail that got lopped off.
August 4th, 2011 at 12:44 pm
That was awesome! I love that Samurai-esqe wound comparison.
Snoop shows how bad-ass he really is. Can’t wait to see Pops give his share of a beatdown on Calv.1n.
August 4th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
If Chuck’s gonna pull out a clutch victory, he needs his arm back.
So when’s he getting it back??
August 4th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
You know it’s weird, in all my years of being online it’s taken this long to see a dog giving someone the finger.
August 4th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
yep….. thats weapon brown’s dog alright.
August 4th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Oh, so he bleeds stuffing. I see what you did there… =_=
Also, this must be the first time a dog gave the bird in an action comic. A day to be remembered, indeed!

If I didn’t know better, I’d think captcha was trying to tell us Spike approved of Snoop’s heroic posturing: rkfromer brother
August 4th, 2011 at 9:16 pm
oh shit. bonus strip. fuck him up, genetically modified snoop! Go SNOOP!!!
August 4th, 2011 at 9:49 pm
“I don’t like people; I like the juices INSIDE of people!”
August 4th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
I guess you could say HOBS was a …paper tiger.
Ah fuck you that’s an awesome pun.
August 5th, 2011 at 1:54 am
Snoop calls that last panel “Poppin’ Woodstock”.
August 5th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Love that nonverbal exchange. “Got a chunk of yer tail, bitch.” “Got a chunk of yer HIDE, pussy.”
August 5th, 2011 at 3:32 pm
I know exactly what Snoop is saying right now. “That sensation you’re feeling right now? That’s called ‘FEAR’. Get used to it, my newest chew toy.”
Captcha is identifying the new variables that’s telling HOBS just how FUCK he is: “ityindis factors”.
August 5th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
“FUCKED”, actually. (Geez, don’tcha just HATE it when you come up with a dramatic line and miss a typo?)
August 5th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Or, even better:
HOBS: “I got a piece of you, and you taste GOOD.”
Snoop: “Well, I just got a bigger piece of YOU, and you taste exactly the way I thought you would…like SHIT.”
August 5th, 2011 at 5:47 pm
And now for the Bad Joke of the Day:
I see that HOBS is leaking Sugar Bombs. Does this make Snoop a cereal killer? (rimshot)
– Captcha doesn’t know how to `type accorrom`; that’s why he has spell-check.
August 6th, 2011 at 3:10 am
Captcha tells me HOBS condition –
spine exposure!
August 6th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Holy crap that is awesome. Thanks guys for all pointing that out. Hobbs is leaking the sugar cereal Calvin loves to eat!! Hilarious! Awesome eye for detail.
August 6th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Hee hee. I love all the conversation this strip has spawned. Lots more good action coming up soon!
Captcha clone on the verge of rebellion: Kifation #938
August 6th, 2011 at 11:25 pm
I almost wish HOBS was more verbal so he could make one of his patented smart-ass remarks
Captcha doesn’t know who to call: addiall neither
August 7th, 2011 at 3:32 am
The only thing I hate about the way this is going down is….the dramatic music playing in my head has to be paused for days on end LOL
August 7th, 2011 at 4:23 am
I don’t think HOBS is leaking cereal.
Honestly, have none of you ever looked inside a torn beanbag?
August 7th, 2011 at 10:46 am
@Brandi: We’re not 100% sure about just what Hobbes is leaking, and though what you’re saying rings true, there’s still room for question
Captcha senses a special guest star: James edento
August 7th, 2011 at 11:04 am
Although I have enjoyed the Sugar Bombs theory, Brandi is actually correct. Insofar as nondescript circles can be said to “be” anything, that is stuffing falling out of HOBS.
August 8th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Another delay to this great strip!?! Oh, Weapon Brown, why can’t I quit you?!?
August 8th, 2011 at 3:42 pm
Good ol’ kapok, and captcha sez herit foarma.
August 8th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Heh – awesome fight sequence and a great final frame. Swivel on that, Hobbes!
