Anyone else notice that Cal’s eye hasn’t healed? Before, his healing was incredible, but it seems to be getting slower and slower. If I had to geuss, I’d say his body is running short on materials for his nanites to make repairs with.
Ooh, so she’s not dead. Still hoping reinforcements can make it in time. (That “two feet” line is just begging to be answered with someone showing up.)
Captcha says we’re on a “deemodu course”, and I’m hoping that means Destination: Pain for Cal.
If it was anybody else but JY writing this, I’d say this was the moment for the Deus ex machina (Perhaps Walker, as Sven suggested), but it is JY, so I think things might yet get a little worse for Chuck. Of course, worse could mean that Walker shows up but the Wizard is animating him.
@Scruffy – I hate to make guesses based on the flow of time in a panel or two a week comic. I’m thinking it still might be healing just as fast, but we’re seeing time a bit dilated here. I think we’re only a few seconds from the moment the shard was pulled out of the eye. Plus, it’s an eye. The earlier, apparently faster healing was mostly flesh wounds, the eye, while small, is an entire organ, and there may also be some brain behind it being prioritized.
Weird, Captcha just seems to have spelling problems, it says it’s “samale organs.*” No Captcha, that’s “a small organ”.
It is the Garf window. Even if he does get an extra two feet from either the garf or any ally, I don’t think Brown can survive this one. He’s never been this broken before or pushed THIS far.
Whatever happens next will either make them both, or break them both.
Two months after McCovey’s line drive that ended the 1962 World Series, the December 22, 1962 comicstrip of Peanuts depicts Charlie Brown and Linus van Pelt brooding silently for three panels, before Charlie Brown finally shouts “Why couldn’t McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?”. The next month, on January 28, 1963, CharlieBrown and Linus are again brooding before Charlie Brown exclaims “Why couldn’t McCovey have hit the ball even two feet higher?”
Extendo-arm… nonsense! From a storytelling perspective, the steam was created for a reason. Also remember, Cal used that same flat-handed strike to decapitate the phantom, so our minds resonate with that moment on some level even if we have forgotten. So I think it’s likely that the phantom has to make his play now, either that or appear at the door of PHB unexpectedly. I think the most satisfying move would be the Phatom’s revenge. But I am not the master here, and I will gladly take whatever the man has in store for us 🙂
I would like to take this opportunity to make a prediction: Chuck pushes Cal into the room, Cal gets sucked down or slides down into the shmoo and drowns in the very substance he’s trying to go after.
And if I’m right, I want to get one of the puppies that will be the result of Snoop and any other bitch owned by the resistance. Because THAT is a fucking PEDIGREE.
Freakin’ Bob the Angry Flower gets a nod! JY, you are way beyond godhood now.
Two feet? Where’s Snoop and Hughie when you need them? LOL
Captcha suggests a ‘Victedo clamp’ might give Chuck those two feet he wants….
Is that the Garf window right behind Cal?
I think that is the Garf window… IIRC, the Far Side cow was right next to the entrance…
It IS the Garf window! CAL schmoo mutation followed by a WB nuclear arm sacrifice that destroys the whole facility incoming!
por ol’ Walker has been stumbling around headless and unseen for months and months now.
a 2-ft. distraction, perhaps?

I’m with Sven on this– Walker, from out of the mist, gives Chuck the 2 feet he needs.

Go-go gadget extending arm?

Also, props for Bob the Angry Flower.

OMG !!! BoB wake up and help chuck !!!
HOLY SHIT! Bob! Glorious shout-out, JY.
Doesn’t his arm extend an extra two feet now?

I’m still with Sven– Chuck needs two feet. Two feet.
Who has two feet– but no head?

Calling it with everyone else- Chuck uses his extendo arm for the extra 2ft

Cloob: thanks for that! Here are the strips.
Poor Annie, she should have stayed in the kitchen.
Ignore the alarms, ignore the pain.
Come on, Chuck! You got it in you!

Haha, \two feet\ is also a double-entendre for the fact that, well, the headless phantom could be said to be \two feet\ walking.
This is where I came in originally! Hi. Bob!
