Target Locked

And he’s off!
Sometimes you just need a good cry…

35 Abominable Comments!

  1. Baxtrr

    Who was it commenting that we’d wandered off storyline? Well, here we go back again. Personally I don’t mind the diversions, but…

  2. Twilite

    OH SNAP, look at that determination. CC’s about to rip somebody UP!!

  3. Kar

    I wouldn’t mind a crossover with Smokey the Bear. Just kidding.

  4. HenrikeD

    I think somebody will get kicked….

    For some reason I really like Charles` form in the last panel, he`s just a round fuzzy furball with arms and legs. :D But I wouldn`t want to run into him now.

  5. KJF

    Yeaaaah, that’s my boy !! Go Chuck !! (Love his face on the fourth panel).

  6. Crowe

    Solider on big guy. Just keeping moving forward.

  7. groovekittie

    I love how you can see the determination in his shoulder blades. <3 Go get 'im, Charles!

  8. Xopha

    OH SNAP! CC is gonna kick off! I pity the foo’ who killed Townsen!

  9. Joe D.

    CHARLES SMASH.

  10. arkady62

    Squash that king like a grape!

  11. Cesare

    I think ACC would be entertaining and worth a weekly visit even without the ‘plot’. What a rich a vibrant world Karl has created, out of the blue!

  12. Cesare

    ps, has Charles put on a few pounds over the winter? :p

  13. Ketira

    Yep – that’s how I deal with my bouts of depression when they come up: I have a good cry, then deal with the aftermath for the rest of the day.
    ; >

    But now…. Charles has a determination on his face. I wonder what that “king” will make of him….

  14. Celenoo

    Awe! I love how emotional this week’s strip is. CC reaches a vulnerable part of all of us, I think. Karl, thanks for sharing your vision and beautiful art will all of us!

  15. Diana

    I am so curious about what will happen when Charles gets to the city. I just can’t imagine him actually hurting anything living. I will be disappointed if it ends up being ass-kicking-as-usual the way almost every other story seems to go.

  16. Argent Stonecutter

    It’s like an epiphany!

  17. Cristián

    Chuck’s face on fourth panel…
    I know I’ve seen it somewhere else…
    Right!

    hehehe
    Love it!

  18. Ryan S

    Those last 2 panels are straight out of a stallone film! I can almost here the dramatic music swell in the background.

  19. Razor

    Looks like Charles is continuing on the mission given him by the Cthulion…

    In the words of a certain little owl: “Go get ‘em, big guy.”

  20. il biggo

    @Cristián: I lawled ^_^

  21. Maxine MagicFox

    :( I love that second frame, though it makes me so sad to see CC crying. *sniffles*

  22. Unsicherherz

    He’s never spoken a single word, yet we’ve come to grow so fond of him, the quiet hero, Charles.
    You can do it Charles!

  23. E=MC_horse

    That is what people call the “look of Grim Determination”.

  24. Robinwilliamscott

    I’m staggered that people complain about ACC ‘wandering off storyline’. It feels to me’ like they’re entirely missing the subtle nuances of GOOD storytelling. Yes, there are diversions, but they’re an integral part of telling this story. They set the Charles into a world. They make everything feel more complete and thus make us care more about the progression of our hero.

    I love this comic so much. It’s early I know, but I already have a growing anxiety over what it will feel like when it ends … I don’t want that to ever happen.

    Karl, what you’re doing here is reminding me why I love this medium. Why I have this urge to create within this medium. You’re achieving comics at their highest potential right here.

    Thank you.

  25. NateBBQ

    I love the look on Charles face in the 4th panel. Awesome. I sense bad things happening to unknowing people. As well as some eye opening experiences for Charles, I hope it’s not to overwhelming for him.

  26. i-hate-socks

    charles looks angry. what’s the smoke in the background? does this mean more cats..?!

  27. Rob T

    S*** just got real…

  28. Alex

    Oh man, Charles looks pissed… That’s a first!

  29. AngryBuddhist

    He looks…. angry.

  30. Adam Casalino

    I’d like to see Charles finally rip someone up. But he’s great at being the strong, silent, sensitive kind.

  31. LittleBlueMan

    FINALLY!

    But wait, before he actually makes it to the plot, he has to brave the perils of the maze of filler.

  32. Zeke

    Great arwork, it’s nice to see this kind of quality around :).
    I love the way you use expressions and how you use the distinctive personality of each character!

  33. Aegeas

    I’m not sure that smoke is coming from the city but from a nearby campsite. It seems distant but not so distant as to be from the city.

  34. mrsirr

    Cue the epic vengence moozic. some where, some how. . . an ass is about to be kicked.

  35. Mike

    I love Charles’ “quit yer whinin chuck, time to pick yourself up by the ankle fur and get srsly down to srs business” face in the fourth panel
