Yungbluth would eventually shift gears, and made Weapon Brown his main focus. Having already used the characters from ''Peanuts'', he decided to widen the scope, and include elements and characters from just about every newspaper strip out there, in order to make the bigger and more epic follow-up, ''Blockhead's War'', from which four issues is already done, while the fifth is currently estimated to be completed at some point in 2012.

[[caption-width-right:350:Weapon Brown versus Alley Oop]]

->''"I've got a lot of names, depending on who you ask. I'll let you call me Chuck."''
->''"I kill for a living. There's a lot of guys in my line of work, and they're all cheaper than me. If all you want is to put a hole in somebody, you hire one of them."''
->''"But if you want to take out a tank crew of battle-hardened scum and fall asleep knowing they died screaming --"''
->''"You call good ol' '''Weapon Brown.'''"''
-->--'''Chuck "Weapon" Brown'''

It is years after the last war, and the world has ended.

The fighting, though, ''that'' still continues.

Surviving -- no, ''thriving'' -- in this world is "Weapon" Brown, a cybernetic mercenary with absolutely no pity and balls that could crack diamonds. Together with his man-eating dog Snoop, they eke out a living as a pair of mercenaries. If you want something done to someone, don't need any questions answered, and absolutely ''need'' to make sure the poor bastards suffer, you call Weapon Brown.

In other words, ''Weapon Brown'' is ''{{Peanuts}}'', only set AfterTheEnd and {{Grim Dark}}er than ''{{Warhammer 40000}}''. Filled with great art and {{Shout Out}}s to just about every syndicated comic out there, ''Weapon Brown'' NeedsMoreLove.

The comic started out as a side project to cartoonist, Jason Yungbluth's, comic, ''DeepFried''. The first Weapon Brown story was called ''A Peanut Scorned'', and was originally included as a bonus in the printed versions of issues 1-4 of ''Deep Fried''. It starts off by telling the origin story of Charles "Weapon" Brown, and sequences into his quest to save his red-haired girlfriend from his insane former friend, Linus van Pelt, who plans to use her in his attempt to finally summon The Great Pumpkin, all while he runs into other characters from the ''Peanuts'' universe.

Yungbluth would eventually shift gears, and made Weapon Brown his main focus. Having already used the characters from ''Peanuts'', he decided to widen the scope, and include elements and characters from just about every newspaper strip out there, in order to make the bigger and more epic follow-up, ''Blockhead's War'', from which four issues is already done, while the fifth is currently estimated to be completed at some point in 2012.

It can be read at http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/, starting [[http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2008/04/07/weapon-brown-1/ Here]]. It is most certainly '''NotSafeForWork''', with nudity, sex, and {{Gorn}}.

* ShoutOut: Oh god, hundreds.
* StealthPun: The monster is called the Garf. The huge boneyard it lives in is thus a Garf-field.
* TheSyndicate: The main organization of villains is actually called this, a clever pun on the fact that most newspaper comics are distributed through syndication.
* TakeThat: Ever notice how {{BC}} gradually got turned into a soapbox for its writer's religious views? [[http://www.whatisdeepfried.com/2008/11/19/weapon-brown-44/ Chuck certainly did]].
