I want to see Crokk die a slow, agaonzing death. Something akin to going feet first into a wood chipper.
Or, being strapped to a metal chair and having it heated until all of the skin on your back is seared and charred. Then then hang the person by their knees over a vat of water. The water goes up to their shoulders. The only way they can avoid drowning is to bend at the middle, cracking the blackened flesh on their backs and enduring extreme pain. Eventually, they’ll get tired, or the pain will be too much, and they’ll drown. Eitehr way, you can place bets on how long they’ll last!
uhh.. why aren’t Crok’s men taking Brown out? they have modern weapons and surely can aim well enough, considering Crok is so small. Like someone else said, I hope this doesn’t turn into a Rambo / Bollywood type of fight where the protagonist is invincible and the bad guys take him on one at a time
Ha, whoops, the A train already got there before me. And yeah, as the Rambo analogy guy, A, I have to hope that Jon and Co. (or whoever) take out Crokk’s guards and Chuck is able to throw Crokk to Garfield, rather than Chuck just being invincible and having infinite stamina and destroying everyone, which would taint this otherwise flawless masterpiece.
@ Jim: I’ll bet with the quickness of Chuck’s reflexes, as demonstrated by the “yoink” he just pulled on Crokk, le capitaine would make an excellent “human” shield against those pesky guns >;) But Chuck promises to save the best for last, so we’ll see…
@Chyll Will – I’m not buying it. Chuck has lost his arm, has been awake all day, been hit bit a concrete block, had his head in a monster, blown a car up, fought a ton of BC cannibals, run from the cats, and he still has enough in him to beat Crok’s men who are fully armed (with scopes). It’s not like Crok would make a very big human sheild, and Crok’s men could easily shoot Chuck’s legs, arms, or head off to slow him down and then take care of him.
@ A – Fair enough; I’d buy into the Jon and Cavalry theory, but I’ve come to believe that Chuck doesn’t bluff in these situations… maybe that arm isn’t “completely” lost?
I’m not too worried, as Jason’s storyline so far has been awesome. I was just surprised that it was Chuck who grabbed, and Crok’s men aren’t taking Chuck down (if only for their own sake and preservation) . I’m thinking the storyline will pick up again and been checking back every day hoping for an extra update before monday.
I guess Lucy pulled that football away one too many times.

Oh, I’m sorry, did I go a bit off topic there?

awww… I was thinking in a beast-like Woodstock bird with talon claws and wings of fury and stuff… 🙁
Damnit. Now I’ll have to buy the book to see what Lucy did.
Dammit, Jammit! I love you!
Um, don’t Crokk’s guys still all have their guns?

Remind me to stay away from flabajaba.

Maybe they just don’t like him?
This is actually a very standard mook reaction, if their leader is captured they won’t act until ordered to act.
all crok needs to do is shout “shoot him” then

@jammit: Don’t get the book to see what Dr. “Lucy” Van Buren does. Get it to see what happens to her…

@ A: You have my proxy on all points above! >;)
@Chyll – as your proxy proxies mine as well 🙂
Alright! Crokk’s about to find out how a Toronto Maple Leafs fan feels!
Aw, went through the comments and saw that “Dammit, jammit…”. Now I have that damn Rocky Horror Picture Show tune in my head! Thanks!
There it will dwell, Roadie. I am part of your brain now.
Lewis and Captcha mapped the West following the Arshadi Route.
Who are all these newbies? I feel bad they missed out on WB for the last 3-4 years.
Even though you’re re-telling the story a 2nd time, it’s a great read.
I like the people analyzing all the hidden references. Really get a kick out of that
