Putting aside the current phase of this epic and interminable battle, it seems to me that from the Syndicate’s perspective, CAL fucked up. The GARF is dead, all the shmoo on hand is contaminated, and a bunch of people got away with the last of the good stuff.
Loose ends still in play include 1) Snoop, 2) kudzu, 3) CAL’s still un-used control word.
I guess everybody called this one. Sven – don’t forget Ol’ Sparky’s reactor. I’m still seeing a suicide attack by Chuck as a possibility. That and Kudzu are our best hopes, I think. I’m betting the control word won’t work, and Snoop’s a badass for sure, but against CAL + Schmoo? What’s he gonna do?
So you all think you know where this is going, huh? Think ol’ JY doesn’t have a few tricks up his sleeve? Well, you just wait until August Strindberg and his dancing marshmallows show up!!
This is when I’d be like, “whelp, you win, C.A.L.; you are now God of the Wastes.”
He used to just be hard to kill because he healed so fast, but now he has millions of gallons of goo psychoactive goo and he was built and trained to use his brain to psychoactively control his old pal H.O.B.E.S.
Without a Deux Ex Machina, (perhaps Deus Brachium) it’s pretty much over.
My guess is they will either find some novel way to give C.A.L. a large head wound, as the schmoo only works as long as his mind controls it; or Weapon will finally let his imagination run wild, in a bid to wrest control of the schmoo from C.A.L..
Or maybe they will just find a way to break C.A.L.’s concentration (“Hey, C.A.L.! HERE COMES ROSALYN!”).
If Calvin’s will can control Schmoo, then why can’t Chuck’s?
As far a honed steel will power my money is on Chuck every time.
I was the first to call \Kudzu\ waaay back when, and I still think it will will be the deciding last blow. Then Cal could still show up in the far future. lol

Didn’t his one attempt at controlling schmoo turn into a shit tasting apple? – peepants
Good observation, but I don’t think apples, no matter what they taste like, are going to be what Chuck thinks up. Schmoo becomes what you know, and Chuck knows pain.
So Shmoo is just Silly Putty? I could have lived off of that for years if I only knew. Captcha: The Aqther. Tasty irony (I actually liked the taste of Silly Putty as a kid, piker syndrome and all).
Not to be that guy, but I think you meant “Favorite”, unless it’s an inside joke.
Seriously, let’s hear it for this grand finale.
JY: Be that guy! I love that guy!

Did someone just break the fourth wall?
ReCaptcha has a criminal record: 13 Offense
I’m a little upset at how closely we’ve been predicting the last few strips.
On the other hand, awesome. I’m REALLY curious to see what the good guys pull out of their asses to save this one.

WTF, Silly Putty…captcha say…man, perilyy
Great Silly Putty reference.
But C.A.L.’s an example of why you don’t stop till the dude’s in parts, on fire, and being dragged away by wolves.
To be fair to Chuck, he was just really tired after that fight… he needed to sit down for a while.
This ain’t going well for the Good Guys.

JY, did… did you just make a theatre joke? I just may die of happiness. Finally, my major is useful!

In addition to the loose ends Sven mentioned I would also point out that Pops and Annie may be down, but they are sure as hell not out. 🙂
ditizFi 140? Really Captcha? You’re not even trying anymore.
Cal: king of Shit manipulation.

I wonder if the shmoo could become a sh$% ton of explosive, napalm, incindiary, Solarbonite ..etc… Then fourth of July comes early.
Captcha is receiving rialsoli
……and then all the trogs in bone city attacked. because this isn’t going bad fast enough.
anne’s pet captcha wants her to go back, she forgot her umitype!
Oh shit.
Time for the Final Boss.
Oh my god!! I think I’ve got it!!
Cal’s control word is “TWINKIE”!!! You know, like Moe used to call him in the comics? I’m UP IN YOUR SHIT JY!!! HOW DO I FEEL INSIDE YOUR MIND?!
@Josh
Didn’t you know? Defeat the final boss and he always comes back with stronger attacks!

Lift up your favorite comic book characters! HAHAHAH! This whole strip is just for old farts like me, isn’t it?
Also, Josh, my money’s now also on Twinkie. If you’re right I’m going to be very, very impressed.
More like Crazy putty!
Psycho-putty? Should I be worried that spell check actually knew that one?
shmoo becomes food. Only food. And, uh, silly putty. But hey, who never ate some silly putty? heh.
I agree that “Twinkie” is an excellent call.
So Shmoo is just Silly Putty? I could have lived off of that for years if I only knew. Captcha: The Aqther. Tasty irony (I actually liked the taste of Silly Putty as a kid, piker syndrome and all).
“I’m afraid there will only be one strip update, on Friday.”
CRAPDAMMIT!!!
Hey, JY, can’t you just release a place holder with stick figures or something? Let us know what’s going to happen next? Just a tease?
Nothing can stop the Shmooze!

Come to think of it, have we seen Suzie Derkins show up yet?
Loved that stuff as a kid.
Also: “UPDATE 10/21/12”? Isn’t that a bit aways?
eservet please.]
