Monty: a washed-up, drained, ex-would-be author, already! It’s a tough publishing world out there, E.B.!

That suspended-in-the-air desk lamp is kinda freaky too.
What magic is afoot?
Or at hand…. or an elbow…

I’m sure it’s on the floor, Susan, although I have no idea why.

You could be right, Sisyphos…
but it looks too short to reach EB’s head from the floor — unless the base and shade are huge in proportion.
And the helical cord seems to be hanging straight down from the base.
Eeerie……

Is he going to put some red rum in the coffee?

Knowing E B, he may fall in love with the magic lamp….

If it was Comic Sans it would be really scary.

The lamp is on the floor to create the eerie lighting effects – “tip toe tip toe…” – in panel three. What a great strip.

some serious,intra-dimensional lamp lighting display at work here. Quasi,oR/semi related dimensional art.

I think the strip would have been better had Meddick not told us in panel 4 that panel 3 was a “The Shining” reference. Give your readers some credit, Jim. Your strip ain’t Pluggers, y’know.
