Goofus chews off a leg to escape the trap.

Muad'Dib remains in the trap, endures the pain, and feigns death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.

Goofus takes the Water of Life and dies in horrible pain.

Muad'Dib succeeds in converting the Water of Life, in a process that kindles new and immense powers in the young Atreides Duke, such as perfect prescience.

Goofus sits with his back to a door, because he's not in the mood for daily training.

Muad'dib knows that moods are for loveplay and cattle, and fights not one whit below his ability.

Goofus dies painfully in the trial of the Gom Jabbar.

Goofus is Harkonnen scum.

Gallant is a devout Fremen and knows the value of his tribe's water.

Goofus is killed by Shai-Hulud in the deep desert.

Muad'Dib walks without rhythm so as not to attract the worm.

[Also, someone on .tumblr remarked that I'm using quotations that are not solely attributed to Paul Muad'Dib. I had considered that, but I opted to use any/all quotations from the Dune universe, it just makes for more variety. I've enjoyed this project thus far. Thanks for the support MetaFilter.]

Goofus' fast blow is turned.

Gallant's slow knife penetrates the shield.

Goofus is trapped in a cave when Harkonnen artillery collapses the entrance.

Muad'Dib knows that anyone who seeks shelter in a cave with only one exit is a fool who deserves to die.

Goofus fires his lasgun at a shielded opponent.

Muad'Dib achieves victory through Desert Power on the Arrakeen plain.

Huh. As far as I know, I basically invented this. I never developed it in any way though.

[Anazgnos, I have honestly never seen that before and was under the impression I was just following along in another mashup. Apologies if I've stepped on your toes, so to speak.]

Not at all, just took it for a surprising coincidence. It was just a fart of a post on r/pics five years ago that went nowhere, and I had no designs on it behond that!

Goofus slips and falls.

Muad'Dib knows that on an uncertain surface, bare feet are best.

Goofus wears his stillsuit too loose around the chest, and does not gain the benefit of pumping action from his breathing.


Muad'Dib fits his desert boots slip-fashion at the ankles.

Goofus fears that place he dares not look.

Muad'Dib stares back out at you.

Goofus is an abomination! ... His mother deserves a punishment greater than anything in history.
Death! It cannot come too quickly for that child or for the one who spawned him!

Goofus kills his mind through fear.

Muad'Dib permits the fear to pass over him and through him.

"Goofus! Goofus! Goofus!" goes the refrain. "A million deaths were not enough for Goofus!"
from A Child's History of Muad'Dib by the Princess Irulan.

Goofus thinks that the Golden Path is a good idea.

Muad'Dib crowdsources the worldbuilding for his epic space opera.

Goofus and his buddy write unnecessary prequels and sequels.

Goofus is shocked by the tone of his voice

Gallant knows that walking without rhythm, it won't attract the worm

Oh wait, that was Goofus and Fatboy Slim.
