Awwwww....cherised childhood memories and perceptions? Now watch as they gently placed in front of three MACK trucks and an Abrahm's (I never spell that right) and ran over repeatadly. This comic reminds me of the time that I found out seahorses were about an inch tall. In the cartoons they were always big enough to ride. Really bummed me out.

Well wow. There's a person I hadn't anticipated recognizing. Especially since he stopped visiting my regular board posting haunt (formerly the pvponline forums) quite a while ago.
But Calbeck would be the one to straighten out any unicornly misconceptions right quick.

Poor Maggie, I guess she is used to Hollywoods version of Unicorns. Well sister you are in for it now. Remember when you are traveling through interdimensional gateways into worlds of terrible horror and bloodshed, you'll encounter monsters that'll take arms, legs, and heads..... but they won't take American Express and Mr. Right will always turn out to be oh so Mr. Wrong. Welcome to realality kid.
Not bad when I can work in my signiture into a post and it really applies.

BWAHAHAHA! That's horrible! Funny, but horrible! She looks like someone just ran over her puppy....figuratively speaking. Yeesh! I'm reading Peter Beagle's
The Last Unicorn. I don't think it's going to be the same now.

But NOT the David Hasselhoff version
And don't get me started on the "Samuel L Jackson" Ultimate Nick Fury.
Still I am a much bigger DC fanboy than Marvel, you wanna know Hal Jordans shoe size?

This reminds me of a painting by Ursula Vernon:
The Bog Unicorn
Click image for DeviantArt page.
Artist's Commenary:
Common unicorns are not what they're cracked up to be. Leaving aside that they're nasty, foul tempered scavengers, most commonly found lurking around dumps, even leaving aside the smell and the parasites (sure, they look all pretty and sleek, but so do pigeons) and the tendency of the horn to cause itchy rashes, they're nothing you want to pal around with. They're vermin. You can't even eat them. (Well, you can, but you won't do it twice.)
But the bog unicorn is different. It really is pure of heart and noble of intent, altruistic, gentle, good-natured and kind to smaller animals, feeding only on the tenderest waterweeds and being careful not to step on anything. A bog unicorn that accidentally treads on an ant will be wracked with guilt, and if one should happen to munch a careless snail while dining, the poor creature will be disconsolate for days. They will trek miles through squelching and squolorching mud to finded fouled waters and cleanse them with their nifty horn. They will carry nestfuls of baby birds in their mouths during forest fires and reunite them with their parents afterwards, and never once mention any byproducts carelessly deposited on their tongues. They're nice.
And yet, despite these sterling qualities, just try to find a virgin that wants a bog unicorn to lay its head in her in lap. People. I tell ya.

Even a shower and fuzz trim won't stop the cussing and bad diet, though. -
J.A.M.: Thanks for the tip! Now I have another strip's worth of archives I don't have time to read but will anyways! -;)

What's really funny is that "Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." was on to tube the night I saw "Sgt. Calbeck" in the strips.
That's why it struck me as sooooooooo funny!

Also...FYI...this Hasselhoff image is "flopped" and the patch seems to be on the wrong eye.

Yes, that way if a shape changing super villain uses that image to copy Nick, we can tell he is a fake. Just like in the Spider-Man cartoon.

The picture is correct, the movie is what had flopped.

Whooo! Generating your own WMD sergeant? (and I'm not talking about that cartoon Cohiba)

Don't worry, Calbeck. RFOM only mentions unicorns occasionally.
