Lord, I just saw Sunday's ROBOT CHICKEN, which is one I hadn't seen before, and damn that was one SERIOUSLY dark take on Calvin and Hobbes.
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You'd have a really tough time getting the 2nd arm with the circular saw.
True. There'd have to be some kind of Rube Goldbergian contraption involved.
I have taken a hair dryer to myself. Aside from the killing of the itch (so far, pretty good, I remain hopeful), it really highlights where the rash is. I look pretty awful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Was that the one with the mental institution? I was pointed to it on YouTube. I really should have been watching the show all along, shouldn't I?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

It worked? Woot!
The Peanuts sketch was even darker.
You're not wrong.

So far. I'm still a little itchy in places, but that's probably because I didn't torture myself enough. You're not kidding about "itch itch itch hot hot OW OW OW...huh."

ita yes, and yes you should have been watching it all along. Seth is one adorable twisted little fucker. The DVDs are worth getting for the extras (big group commentaries with Seth as ring master).
The Peanuts sketch was even darker.
I dunno, that's a tough call. Maybe the dancing in hell epilogue tips it.

Seriously -- I first tried it IN the allergist's office, because when I had the skin-prick test for allergens I reacted severely. I mean the nurse came in the room, saw my arm, and said "OH MY GOD!"
Obviously, it itched horribly, and I couldn't stand it. The allergist jumped at the chance to show me the hairdryer trick (he claims to have "invented" it -- hello, ego), and my reaction was pretty much "This is annoying....nothing is happening....getting hot....still itchy....WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!?!?!?....wait -- where'd the itch go?" It's like it just suddenly recedes. It's weird.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is a fairly dark Calvin and Hobbs comic: [link]

(This is the allegedly rejected final C&H comic. But that's probably not ture - apparently someone took a real comic but changed the words.)

I thought they looked happier in hell than Calvin did at the end of his sketch. Possible that I don't have strong enough Christian undertones.
