Characters: Honey Bun, soap opera actress
Look, everyone wanted to draw that one Calvin & Hobbes where they pretend they’re in a soap opera strip and it’s drawn to look like a soap opera strip, and it’s amazingly funny, but not everyone succeeds, okay.
There was the doctor one, too?
ascertaining the honey bun’s sexuality could be an entire arc in itself, to be honest
I just don’t even question it anymore. Don’t really care. It’s like the Dean from Community. After a while, just sorta stops being a question and becomes more just a thing you’re pretty sure would just be annoying as hell to define.
Kinda makes me think of “Operation: What’s Its Damn Gender” from Vgcats.
Is the first (and only?) time Giant Mutant Honey Bun has spoken?
Indeed.
Of course, it was probably just a human voice actor dubbing his lines….
I’m betting on Frank Welker
Nice
No, no. Bobcat Goldthwait. (runs far, runs fast…)
unless you count mindless roaring
Confirmed again. Weirdness abounds here. Thank goodness etc.
Ha ha, man, the soap opera strips in C&H.
A for effort, Willis, and in your defense most soap opera strips today look awful, e.g. the last panel in Wednesday’s Rex Morgan: http://joshreads.com/?p=25051. One of the great things about Watterson is that he could draw the soap style the way today’s soap artists WISH they could draw.
I THINK that the dialogue just means that the GMHB’s character on its soap opera is bisexual. The GMHB’s own sexuality, if it has one, was never addressed as far as I can recall.
Which also brings up the question as to whether or not a giant mutant honey bun has a gender, since so many sexualities are defined in relation to the person in question’s gender as well as who they’re attracted to.
I’m not sure how you’d be able to tell. o_O
Is she wearing cargo shorts? This is a weird soap.
Because of the cargo shorts. Not because of the giant mutant frosted honey bun.
I just love nobody cares a Giant Mutant Honey Bun exists and will just give him Soap Opera Roles.
I’m willing to bet GMHB can photosynthesize and has no physical needs. He acts for the sake of acting. So they don’t pay him.
They probably need someone to refresh the frosting, keep HB from going moldy or going too close to large bodies of water, things like that.
Shortpacked! mentions that Honey Bun had an agent, however. That could possibly mean HB’s handlers, at least, were earning some form of money for the appearances and roles. And yes, someone would eventually have to arrange all these appearance, no matter how funny I think it would be if a mutant Honey Bun could just walk onto any set and assume one of the roles. 😀
maybe GMHB is like Chicken Boo
Aw… now I’m sad.
I miss this honey bun.
So…Honey Bun’s a Pokemon?
