Harry Husky and His 12-PAC: Stanford Edition

Last week, John introduced you all to "Harry Husky and his 12-PAC." I'd like to start by thanking everyone for the positive feedback on the first comic and I look forward to the privilege of writing a new comic every week! It has been a personal goal of mine to live out the inspiration I received as a kid from Calvin and Hobbes & Dragon Ball Z.
The key to Harry's character is that his emotions and enthusiasm are a reflection of what we as Husky fans feel about our beloved team. So while his interactions with fellow mascots will be a large part of the comic's storyline, we'll see Harry in a number of different situations: good, bad, or Husky (too much?).
So without further adieu, here is this week's edition of "Harry Husky and his 12-PAC."
1. Yes that is Drew Carey.
2. No, I don't think anyone is actually overlooking/forgetting about Andrew Luck. But we as Husky fans have to hope for a little bit of our own "luck" if we want to win on Saturday; because the "Price" being right might not be enough.

I thought the ampersand was italicized for a second.
So it would’ve been “Calvin & Hobbes & Dragon Ball Z.”
I would watch that show.
haha I would too
In a heartbeat

I voted for Price
Only because:
Scenario No.1: Stanford runs the football to wear down the Husky D.
Scenario No.2: Washington is behind and has to throw the ball to get back in the game.
Scenario No.3: Sark abandon’s the run at an ill conceived time.
Scenario No.4: Price is lighting up the Stanford secondary and the romp is ON!
I’m hopping for scenario No.4, but the odds aren’t in our favor.
All I saw was purple
I voted for Luck...
but only because I think/hope Price will be helped by the running game more than Luck.
Nice work Justin!

Thanks Carnes
If Price is helped by the running game, I think we’re feeling pretty good considering we’re playing against the #2 run defense. Fingers crossed!
Definitely
Stanford has a good front. TEveryone in the media says they haven’t played anyone but I don’t think they need to prove themselves to us Husky fans. The fact that we had 19 yards rushing last season against them is enough for me. We need to come out and hit them in the mouth. They intimidated us the past few seasons. Time to become the agressor! Let’s go Huskies!

Beautiful work, Justin. It's such a pleasure to have this in our blog
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

We do?
Hmm. Justin has talent and a future. I’ve got hair growing out of my ears and a mortgage in Memphis, TN. I’m missing something.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

The Luck has ran out!
Andrew Luck is going to go down this week! I really think our defense is going to have one of their best outings of the year. They will make a statement in this game. Go Huskies! Upset is brewing in Palo Alto!

Another thing, good comic Justin. Still interested in what Harry will have in store for that ugly Duck!
Love that enthusiasm!
Yeah the duck is going down: Hewey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, Robo ALL OF THEM.
I really wanted to do something with the awful Stanford tree mascot this week, but I couldn’t ignore the biggest storyline of the week, which was the Price/Luck QB matchup.
Here's where the tree went if anybody's wondering.

Love that photo!
Poor guy, he has such a good smile. Should at least string him with Christmas lights. That way he wouldn’t be so damn ugly!

Didn't like it.
Nothing personal, just me. I Thought different avenues should have been approached. Not just peeing on the tree but Drew Carey? I guess I just hate soccer…..
I've been peeing on trees all week long!
Hope it helps. Hate to have wasted so much time…

Never hurts!
At least now you have a good place to put a grounding rod.

No worries Hairy man.
Definitely agree with you that there are man different angels/avenues that we could have gone with. I appreciate the honest words though. Any suggestions on an approach with the WildCats coming up? :)
Streaking perhaps ?
or the funny bounce of the “undressed pigskin”…..
I thought ....
what a fine line between the undressed “wildcat”…and “real” Pac 12 officials…..! (or big 10+ for that matter)
Softball team
beating up the football team, although their softball team was pretty damn cute(early 90s)
Softball team was almost as popular as the Icecats(club hockey) with the Hooters’ regulars when I lived there(Tucson, not Hooters, although I may as well have). Both were more popular than the football team. Frog and Firkin’ is a great bar(maybe was, it’s been awhile). Introduced me to lambics. Maybe have the softball team streak the field in referee’s shirts(beats some ugly guy). Keep up the good work, enjoyed it regardless.

Hehe, I like the comic.
The only downside of the whole “the Price is Right” pun, is that I’m fulling expecting it to lead to opposing stadiums chanting the old Happy Gilmore line “The Price is wrong, bitch!”, anytime Price does something bad.

Heads up, the strip isn't displaying on the SB mobile app.

hmmm.
I was experiencing the same issue but after letting it sit, it finally loaded. I’ll look into if for future reference. I know that if you press the space, it will open the picture in safari (which really sucks but is getting fixed in the new patch for iOS5)..

Finally got to see it (as I run to get more beer before our ridiculous state liquor laws turn me (or is it the beer?) into a pumpkin
and man. It wasn’t all that funny but it was clever as all hell. You managed to integrate comedic timing into a comic strip. I applaud you, sir. Also, I think this game is on Price, ASJ and Dennison’s collective shoulders. With their TE corps and our Heisman-candidate-to-be QB, even three or four Stanford three-and-outs could decide this game. I’m taking Luck as a given, which is FAR more than I can say for my life in general.

The metaphysical implications of that statement are maddening.
I am a Husky fan, therefore “good luck (a fortuitous outcome)” would be a win for the P&G. But in taking Luck as a given, I have pitted fate against self-determination. The only possible conclusion is that the fate of the Republic rests on this game. In a 5-4 decision the Supreme Court has rules in favor of [L/l?]uck. Justice Sotomayor writes in her concurring opinion, “Football is a game of rhetorical platitudes: ‘Does a bear shit in the woods? Do UW female academics wear band-aid sized skirts the moment Spring quarter starts?’ Having reached the absolute height of my profession, I cite Labrador v. Spruce in affirming that, yes, dogs piss on trees.”
UW 43, Stanford 42, OT. The good Justice adds that our special teams play ultimately decides the game.

not sure if that is a backhanded compliment
But I’m glad you’re here.
