Just amazing. I love how you incorporated Preppy. Not that he’s long for this earth, but his ego wouldn’t accept anything less. After all this buildup, I have no idea how you’re going to get your money’s worth out of a character as good as CAL.
Looks like someone didn’t get the memo that CAL’s obedience protocols hadn’t been properly implemented. I predict that’ll be the costliest mention of “asswipe” in history.
I remember a particularly evil clown in a movie once saying, and I’m paraphrasing slightly, “Why is it that the Good Guys get the smart ones and we only get the morons?” This right here is a perfect example of, “Because smart people show how smart they are by NOT working for you.” This guy in particular. If he had more than two brain cells to rub together, he’d realize a simple truth: “Don’t fuck with the specialist.” People in the Syndicate get promoted by climbing over the corpses of their rivals, and he should know that by now.
“Specialist”? Are you reading my strips before I publish them?? Get out of my miiiiind!!

Methinks CAL is gonna ask the Captain if he wants to play with HOBS. And the Captain’s gonna lose his chin, and any other body parts that stick out. In fact, I can see all the Legionnaires being slaughtered by HOBS so that he and CALv1N can have all the fun to themselves.

@JY – Actually, I used to be in the military, so I have a reasonable idea of how military and quasi-military operations are classifed. Someone in Cal’s current situation would be referred to as a “specialist” since he was brought in for a specific purpose or mission, instead a general-purpose role like the other soldiers.
Besides, JY, if I was truly in your mind, I would never give away your secrets before they’re posted…though I might instead say something like, “Boy, you can see for MILES in here!”
Horror show reminded me of Clockwork Orange as well, though I rather doubt it was intentional; in the book (and movie) horrorshow supposedly derives from the Russian “khorosho” and is used as an adjective meaning “good, great, fantastic.”
A part of me is a bit thankful that C4l-v1n has a bit of an avoidance with women. That “Front door, back door” quip takes on a bit of a different type of gore when looked at as an innuendo!
Brrrrrrr!
badass
Hope chuck gets his arm back soon

Mind filling me in on who Captain Preppy is….?
Is that a really random Crankshaft reference, or am I just crazy?
Captain Preppy is a character from Crock.

Cal is coming off more and more Clockwork Orange especially saying things like “horror show”

D’oh! Today’s Tuesday. I’ve been checking for updates in vain. You’d think I’d be used to that from Achewood.
Catcha’s gonna show me her ortier face. Whatever that might be.

He has the real Calvin attitude too. Yea, he’s special, but not exactly in a ‘window licker’ kind of way.

Naw, CAL-V.1n gets way too busy killing folks to worry about something as pedestrian as sex.
