Three Calvin and Hobbes strips repurposed to be Paul undergoing the test of the gom jabbar from "Dune". In the first, Calvin on the examination table at the doctor's office is approached by the doctor, bearing a box. "What's in the box?" "Pain." In the second, Calvin's mom in the waiting room recites the litany against fear. In the third, in the first panel Calvin yells, "You can contain my body but you can't chain my spirit! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message but my spirit screens it calls!" In the second panel, loud screaming is heard; Calvin's mother jumps out of her chair. In the third, she asks a disgruntled Calvin, "What did the Reverend Mother say?" He replies, "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."
