(I started looking
through Inktober images when I came across this hilarious little number by CHRIS VENDRICK and knew
immediately that I had to try to use it. Especially when it reminded me
something that at least used to be a
thing on Wikipedia (It’s been years since then so I don’t know if it exists
anymore or has been forgotten) that I
believe was called ‘Calvin Random Chess’.)
(5 Panels)
Panel 1: Title Panel, reading “CALVIN & HOBBES”.
A charred battlefield positioned between two really cool looking medieval
fortresses. A couple of large, towering figures the resemble some of the roles
taken by pieces on a chess set occupy the field.
CALVIN: (Text Box)
The super violent and super bloody battle for ultimate domination continues.
Panel 2: WHITE PAWNS and WHITE KNIGHTS charge across
the battlefield atop ferocious super-tiger attack mounts.
CALVIN: (Text Box)
The White Army marches forward, undeterred as they crush all in their path!
Panel 3: An army of BLACK KNIGHTS stand resolute
opposite the direction the WHITE ARMY is coming from. A handful of BLACK
BISHOPS and BLACK ROOKS – which look like giant castle golems – stand behind
them.
CALVIN: (Text Box)
Yet the Black Army remains undeterred, as they wield a secret weapon given to
them from on high!
Panel 4: A BLACK KNIGHT stands in an awesome-looking
combat pose as it holds a machine gun and fires at an off-panel target.
CALVIN: (Text Box)
They have machine guns!
Panel 5: CALVIN and HOBBES on either side of a Chess
board, CALVIN on BLACK side and HOBBES on WHITE. The pieces on the board
shouldn’t match up with what you’d expect from a typical Chess set in way that’s
reminiscent of CALVINBALL.
CALVIN: Wow, I never knew Chess could be so much fun.
HOBBES: I don’t think we were ever actually playing Chess in
the first place.
