Chuck It


This week’s update on the Charles Christopher web comic series is very funny and refreshing. The classic wood chuck joke. How much wood could a wood chuck, chuck exactly. Apparently not even the wood chuck knows. This joke reminds me of when I was a young child my dad would joke around and tell us ridiculous things. I remember trying to say the phrase fast enough to there the words would sound funny. In the web comic the two mice come up to the unsuspecting wood chuck and ask him a simple question how much would could you chuck and when the wood chuck answers they start to chuckle. The wood chuck didn’t even know that there was such a joke about him species. He presumed that the mice wanted to start a fight or some sort of confrontation. This made me laugh because I know that everyone liked to go around and mess with other people especially with an inside joke.  I know that I have had my share of these moments and I know I will have more just because I’m such joker. Well I hope that in the next update the story is pushed forwards because it has been stagnant for a while. Don’t get me wrong I liked this week’s update but I hope that next time there will be some sort of push. Well until next time friends/

3 Articles


From Psychohistorians to Sandworms

In this article it talks about both the Dune series and the Foundation Trio. It talks about the Chaos theory in both of the book series. It explains what chaos is by definition and it gives a good footing to what chaos theory is. It is relevant to my essay because I talk about controlled Chaos subdued by the class systems in the universe of dune 

History and Historical Effect in Frank Herbert's "Dune"
In this article it talks about historical events that help to create systems. It talks about religions that created the religions of dune. The article has a diagram showing all the developments of religious traditions. This relates to my essay because I talk about how religion has power in the class systems in dune.

The Monomyth as Fractal Pattern in Frank Herbert's Dune Novels

This article talks about the plots within plots in the book Dune by Frank Herbert. It also talks about the chaos theory in the book.

A nice salad


Root Saladlove salad but how about a root salad? I don’t think Gilgamesh feels good about having a morning Root salad for breakfast after a long journey. In this week’s update on the Abominable Charles Christopher adventure Gilgamesh is offered a root straight from the very ground they had slept on the night before. This makes me laugh every time I see the face that Gilgamesh gives Charles when he tries to hand him the root after taking a big chomp out of it. The strip is composed of a three panel with only one dialog in it. It is filled with action and with captions that describe the sounds that are going on in the story. For some reason Charles Christopher looks older maybe his long journey across the forest and through the mountains finally

Breakfast call

In this week’s update of The Amenable Charles Christopher it starts off where it left off in last weeks. With a big circle of light called an eye ball. We see a young Gilgamesh waking up suddenly and he then begins to stare out into the distance. He sees the same mountain where a man found his final resting place or so it seems. Not over thinking it he quickly wakes Charles and asks him took cook him something to eat for breakfast. I think that Gilgamesh might have dreamed the death of this father. There is a resemblance in the eyes of the person in that last update and Gilgamesh’s eyes. Maybe the reason he brushes off this feeling to quickly be because he is still very young and full of pep. All he sees is the present and all he feels is the want of adventure at the moment. Maybe he will grow up to become a great warrior after his journey with Charles. I think that Charles will learn to become a great role model because he has already helped so many others in the forest. Gilgamesh is in need of a father figure and at the moment he trust Charles because he is fascinated by him. I wonder what happened to Gilgamesh’s father, does Gilgamesh remember his father? Is his father truly gone? Will Gilgamesh ever get his breakfast from Charles? Well none of my questions will be answered this week, well till next time my friends
