1	!![[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2415565/8/Calvin_Hobbes_The_Series_SEASON_ONE Continued from]] [[Recap/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeriesS1E7TheBlackTurningFunnelPart1 The Black Turning Funnel Part 1]]
2
3	When we last left our heroes, they were being tossed around in the wind, a tornado close by. After some (very silly) confessions, the duo are thrown into the tornado. Activating Full Throttle mode on the box, Calvin attempts to fly out... [[AntiClimax only for the tornado to suddenly get sucked up back into the clouds.]]
4
5	Calvin remarks on how easy that was, but Hobbes notes that the tornado had merely touched down elsewhere. [[TimeForPlanB Switching to Plan B,]] Calvin rockets towards the tornado, circling it. Whilst doing so, the pair witness a cow and a man riding his bike fly by (the former they see ''twice'').
6
7	--> '''Hobbes:''' [[LampshadeHanging Well. All this needs now is the]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wizard of Oz]] [[LampshadeHanging theme.]]
8	--> '''Calvin:''' Shall I sing it for you?
9	--> '''Hobbes:''' No.
10
11	Calvin's bizarre idea actually ''works'', and the tornado thins out once again. As he remarks on how they've saved their home ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and everyone else as well]]), about [[OhCrap twenty tornadoes]] come down to earth, one landing ''right on top of the duo.'' Being thrown across the air, they see several objects doing likewise, one of which being a tree housing two hawks. After a brief conversation/argument with the elder, Wallace, the duo SmokeOut.
12
13	Calvin attempts to think of a plan, eventually trying to transmogrify it. However, he's scooped up yet again before he can do so. He manages to shoot it, but not before realizing ''[[GravityIsAHarshMistress he's fifty feet in the air.]]''
14
15	After landing, Calvin quickly realizes ''there are several barnyard animals in his front yard.'' [[OhCrap And his parents are arriving home.]]
16
17	Needless to say, he was punished. A grumpy Calvin declares him and Hobbes to be sleeping, though it's the middle of the day.
18	----
19	!!Tropes:
20	* AcidRefluxNightmare: Discussed when the duo talk about Hobbes' dream about tornadoes.
21	* AntiClimax: Subverted; the tornado appears to simply have been sucked back up into the clouds, but Hobbes points out that it merely touched down elsewhere.
22	* DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud: Averted, as in the first part.
23	* GravityIsAHarshMistress: Calvin after transmogrifying the tornado.
24	* ICantHearYou: The example from the last part is subverted; Calvin knew what Hobbes was saying on the roof all along.
25	** JustToyingWithThem
26	* InsistentTerminology: The elder hawk refuses to call tornadoes by their name, only referring to them as "cyclones". This ends up becoming a downplayed and PlayedForLaughs version of PoorCommunicationKills.
27	* ItMakesSenseInContext: InUniverse example when Calvin's parents arrive home to several farm animals standing in their front yard.
28	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg:
29	--> '''Calvin:''' Well. We've saved our home from total havoc.
30	--> '''Hobbes:''' What about everybody else?
31	--> '''Calvin:''' Uh... Yeah. Them too.
32	* OhCrap: Calvin during the above ItMakesSenseInContext moment.
33	* PoorCommunicationKills: See InsistentTerminology.
34	* PreviouslyOn
35	* ShoutOut: This line seems awfully reminiscent of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
36	--> '''Hobbes:''' Calvin, I rolled up your Captain Napalm comic and used it to clean out my ears!
37	** This exchange, however, is definitely a ShoutOut:
38	--> '''Hobbes:''' [[LampshadeHanging Well. All this needs now is the]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Wizard of Oz]] [[LampshadeHanging theme.]]
39	--> '''Calvin:''' Shall I sing it for you?
40	--> '''Hobbes:''' No.
41	** On the other hand, the ''entire'' scene with the hawks is ripped off from ''Literature/HankTheCowdog''. [[note]]It could fall under either ShoutOut or UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}}, as the author appears to be a fan of the series.[[/note]]
42	* SmokeOut: How Calvin escapes from the two hawks.
43	* TimeForPlanB: Calvin's Plan B is rocketing straight towards the tornado.
44	* TitleDrop: By Hobbes:
45	--> "I was just thinking. Remember that dream I had this morning? It was about a funnel, remember? We actually saw and fought against a funnel! A Black Turning Funnel!"
