    I’m starting to get a little sad over this….barring a last-second “everything’s ok OH WAIT NO IT’S NOT” emergence of Cal as a giant Schmoo-monster, it looks like we are entering epilogue country very soon. Brilliant, loving the compound fracture. My response to starting bstaic: sup-

    Is that the look of genuine pain and/or fear on Cal’s face in panel 3?! Woohoo!

    I keep wondering why you guys all thing being in the Shmoo should be so bad for CAL. Can’t he swim or something? Then I got to wondering, there were people whose job was to make the Shmoo into various foodstuffs, apparently just by thinking about it. Can Chuck think the Shmoo into acid, or something nastier?

    Doesn’t Garf juice turn into whatever you can imagine? And now Cal’s immersed in it, and he’s down one giant shapeshifting tiger…

    JY, you’re not fooling me. Compound fracture and toothless, Chuck better get down there and finish CAL while he still has him on the ropes.

    I’m predicting a “RAAAR! I’m Jumping Out of the Shmooo Pit to Get You, Brown” from CAL. (Hey, it worked for Glen Close in Fatal Attraction. She got shot right after, so maybe this is where X finally gets his ass back into the fight with WB’s plasma gun.)

    Believe, ddsetti?

    Wonder what level of contamination that chamber can take. They were worried before, but now with CAL swimming around in it…..

    Wait, hang on, didn’t Anne say that if the shmoo was tainted, it would be forever unusable? Did Chuck just screw over the whole human race launching CAL into it?

    Almost, but not quite, as richly satisfying as last page. Gosh, I sure hope there are blades or grinders down there. Oops, I mean AREN’T. No I don’t. And captcha, don’t try to trick me into saying what is obviously some sort of eveil incantation. Don’t anybody say “belfhazzar israepa!”

    @ Gus,

    with what looks like a broken neck and a broken elbow… Cal would have to heal fast or hold his breath.

    death by Garf shit… what a way to go.

    Loved the whole “HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST!” of the last update, and CAL getting knocked the fuck out and dropped in the Shmoo in this one.

    Poor Cal–drowned in a vat of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs & milk–or not.

    Having grown accustomed to the JY way, I have absolutely no confidence in predicting what’s gonna happen next. But I will guess, perhaps wrongly, but guess anyway that if Cal does re-emerge from the Gar-poop, Annie will make the ultimate sacrifice to save Chuck, and X will prevent Chuck from rendering that a sacrifice for naught. At any rate, there will be no happy ending for Weapon Brown, as there never was for Charlie Brown 🙁

    Don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody get knocked down a peg quite this hard, almost feel bad for CAL (almost cause I doubt he’s going down quite that easy)

    Captcha says for me to join Fixpre, but will I be allowed all the GARF shit I desire?

    March 19, 2012, 4:10 pm | #

    Never count your dead until you have seen the bodies. Even then you’d better check twice. This isn’t quite over yet.

    Captcha is dropping names. They are breaking when they land.

    March 19, 2012, 4:20 pm | #

    …Didn’t Cal have some sort of self-esteem trigger thing that Dilbert was worried would only work once, if at all?

    This ain’t over.

    @DrGonzo

    They were in full-on evac mode, and weren’t planning on taking it with them. They haven’t “cut the Garf loose” yet, though.

    @Jorpho

    No, those were his “behavior protocols,” which were invalidated the second the PHB instantly caved to his demand for Hobbes.

    Right, given that HOBS was some kind of telemetric device bonded to CAL’s imagination/psychology, the fact that CAL’s now submerged in something which reads thoughts and forms things on that basis does not actually seem like an immediate improvement.

    Also, these last few strips have been amazingly satisfying. Many kudos to JY.

    Time to hit the self destruct button.
    Captcha thinks the hero from “Die Hard” needs to be in this strip:

    I have an awful feeling that this just means that the world is doomed from shmoo contamination 🙁

    March 19, 2012, 8:16 pm | #

    I have to wonder if Cal’s healing factor will simply make the Shmoo better rather than contaminate it. Give a bit to Chuck when Cal is ‘processed’ and maybe he’ll be bigger and badder and healthier than ever.

    And the Shmoo turns into noodles….aka the Noodle Incident.

    I love the double-negative space Chuck silhouette in panel 1. Nicely done.

    Hello.

    I think everyone here is missing two things:

    1: How slippery the insides of that holding tank will be. There have been many stories of people falling into storage containers similar in style who couldn’t get out and died because of no place to grab hold.

    2: The Chekov’s gun mentioned when Brown being given the tour- what the Schmoo was originally used for…

  27. LordJim
    March 20, 2012, 12:00 am | #

    Yeah, and look at JY’S choice of Peanuts’ column. Chuck just gave it his last, best shot; Old Sparky is crunched, and this would have worked if CAL hadn’t fallen into a giant vat of psychoactive matter.

    Remember Calvin’s affinity for dinosaurs?

    Yeah.

    Beautifully set up and executed, JY.

    That shmoo isnt going to hold cal. Its about to become the biggest bowl of sugar bombs, or into something solid he can climb out of.

    Talk about “being in deep (Garf) shit”…

    Anne also said the Shmoo is photosynthetic, which means that it’ll self-replicate on its own. Also, I think Anne was bluffing when she talked about the contamination problems.

  31. Michael Roberts
    March 20, 2012, 9:52 am | #

    (1) JY, this must be the single most cathartic cartoon I have ever seen.

    (2) In re schmoo contamination – bah. All you have to do is pump the schmoo back up to the top of the Garf and feed it through again. Bingo, no contamination. And once Cal has been defeated, the good guys no longer really need to hide.

    I’d just like to strut around a bit and mention sort of offhandedely how long ago I totally called it.
    Also to respond to some of you nutty Blockhedz:

    Doesn’t Garf juice turn into whatever you can imagine? And now Cal’s immersed in it, and he’s down one giant shapeshifting tiger…

    naw, man, it doesn’t turn into ‘whatever you can imagine’. Just foodstuffs afaict.

    those were his “behavior protocols,” which were invalidated the second the PHB instantly caved to his demand for Hobbes.

    You’re just making shit up. JY has confirmed that there is a control word and that it ain’t ‘asswipe’. I inferred that it hasn’t been tried yet.

    I have to wonder if Cal’s healing factor will simply make the Shmoo better

    uh…what, do you think he secretes some kind of eldritch humour or something? Pretty sure it’s a self-healing ability.

    Anne also said the Shmoo is photosynthetic, which means that it’ll self-replicate on its own.

    no, man, no. That’s not what ‘photosynthetic’ means.

  36. Sven DiMilo
    March 20, 2012, 11:32 am | #

    no, man, no. That’s not what ‘photosynthetic’ means.

    But I have to be fair; I now see that Annie committed the same biological error.

  37. JY
    March 20, 2012, 11:34 am | #

    Sven, et al:

    Ah, I love the heat! I love the HATE! I also love correcting error, so:

    The “wake-up protocols” were violated by Chairman Horns, but if you will recall this strip, CAL is still under Syndicate control, if barely.

    And photosynthetic, in this context, does mean self-replicating.

    The Dark Book of Captcha promises Nglesch, Death, And… and???

  38. Menschenjaeger
    March 20, 2012, 5:05 pm | #

    Just like the punchline of the old joke, Cal’s going to surface, once, and his last words will be “mmm, mmm good” before he disappears from view forever.

    Wow, CAL invented “torso ball” but Chuck aced it! Look at the distance he got, and with the head and limbs still attached too (more or less)!

    Bulls eye!
