Heck of a time to run out of plasma, Spinky. And she connects!
Blasting all those Satoris drained him dry.

I wonder if the head of the hoe is made of iron? Iron plays havoc with the Sidhe.

Umm, how’s Spinky going to get out of this?
(We hopes he doesn’t. We hates him, yes, my precioussss.)

HO! Ho! Ho! Spinky!
Oh yeah… that had to feel good.
WoodGracie said, 11 months ago
Is she sending him back in for more? Not quite sure where the sparks are coming from, portal or Inky’s face!

Don’t fear the reaper, fear Lena with a hoe!
emjrn said, 11 months ago
I think Lena may have finished off what little bit of mojo Inky had left when she connected with the hoe!
I wonder what or if he will disintegrate into. (My old English teacher would probably have a stroke about now.)
TennesseeD said, 11 months ago
Home Run!! And about time – Spinky was getting way too big for his …. britches… hmmmm – guess that doesn’t really apply here!

After catching up on the end of yesterday’s posts, I think another phrase might fit. Up here we have a place called “The Wurst Shop” (It really does sell the best wurst. And brats, and …)
Anywho, how’s this: Brat making head cheese?
Sisyphos said, 11 months ago
Oh, the Egg has Such sharp teeth, boys,
And a garden hoe By her side.
No one sees Inky As she swings it,
But the sparks fly,
I don’t lie!
Just a garden hoe Has Lena Egg, boys,
But she swings it So bleeep hard!
[Edit:Bleep! I got bleeped!]

Did the Snark sneak in to check on us?

Spinky’s expression in panel 2 reminds me of some animated character.
In fact, his whole characterisation for much of this adventure reminds me of Daffy Duck as a magazine article about 35 years ago said, in the cartoons where Daffy and Bugs are in conflict, we see that Daffy is almost as smart as Bugs - he can see exactly what he needs to deal with the situation, but he pushes it too fast or overlooks one tiny detail, and … POW!
As for 9CL - it would be cruel for the organisers to invoke a moral turpitude clause at this point.
Cruel to us, that is - A & E unmade their own bed.
Meanwhile, over in Luann, Brad illustrates that he is, as ever, clueless:

Don’t worry. Remember what Churchill responded when a fellow MP objected to his ending a sentence with a preposition:
“This is the kind of pedantry up with which we will not put!”

A mojo, a mojo, my kingdom for a mojo!
And if that doesn’t proove i’m up way, way past my bedtime… Nytol!
GrumpyOldbear said, 11 months ago
@Rockhouse - you are right.
Cold milk right out of the can after pitching bales in a hot hayloft. Better than beer. There is no drink tastes as good as COLD raw milk. Nectar.
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago
So he goes right back through the panel and The One True Satori can now finish the mojo-less Inky off, and all of the mojo the game sucked out of him as he fought Agent Satori goes to make Satori a Real Girl…

Illinoisians-only update. We now include at least the following: macFicheallaigh, margueritem (expat), elfinelvin, and Sisyphos. Friends, I propose a toast: to the Fallen, Filthy, Pols! Long may their incarceration linger! –We were the lead laughingstock on Nightline (and just about everywhere else) last night….

Actually, I must admit to being an expat Illini too. Not born (That was Kansas, which looked nothing like Oz), but lived there, more or less, 21 years. As Mike Ryoko said, IIRC, the Illinois motto was, “Vote early; vote often!”
It was also the state where many never voted Democrat while they lived, and never voted Republican since. (Or vice versa, downstate.)

I so dislike having the state of my birth turned into a laughing stock. Filthy crooked pols!

@9CWL - why do we have to answer the phone when it rings? Knew a fellow that was asked why he did not answer the ringing phone while conversing with friends “Put it in for my convenience - no one elses.”

bmonk - re Dur recharging her mojo: looks like Spitcock already discharged it all on the army of Satoris - meaning Dru can get it back by sticking her finger in the lamp. Though I’m still hoping she’ll avail herself of Roger’s adolescent angst for some of the pure, freshly minted stuff.

I agree. My dad, too, could ignore a ringing phone, especially when with a client. As he said, “You came all the way here to see me. I’m supposed to ignore you and talk to someone who just picked up the phone and dialed? Besides, that’s what we have a receptionist for.”

Further thought on Lena Egg: Dayam! That girl got game!

We don’t, that’s what voicemail is for!! (or answering machines or callerID or whatever else there is…)
Night all!! I left some crunchy peanut butter, grape jelly and fresh beer-bread on the table for munchies…
Garrulous said, 11 months ago
Looking at the angle of the hoe and how small Lena is, I wonder where she has hit him? I looks to be in the his gut or so.

Sisyphos says: Fellow Illinoisians, macF & margueritem (Crystal Lake,was it not?), shall we now rejoice together, or mourn the sad state of our state?
You are correct, it was Crystal Lake. I rejoice that the bum got caught, and I mourn to see my birth state become a laughing stock.

elfinelvin said (Yesterday):
“Being an Illinoisian myself, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a politictian in this state who didn’t acquire his (or her) position by greased palms and dirty tricks. I have a feeling the system itself is rotten.”
Well, we know Lincoln was straight. Most of them since, though, sad to say? “How did you know the politician was lying?” “His lips were moving.”

9CWL:
Who’s on the phone? It’s Hillary Hahn, of course!
Pibgorn:
Inky looks like Dru did when her mojo ran out. “Oh, SH…”
“What Suzerain? I don’t see no Suzerain! Call me QUEEN!!”

Notice that Lena, who was ready to swing before the demon came out, waited for him to “shoot” first. So she must have known he was drained…
(as someone said…channeling Roger)
Vengence is a small girl with a big hoe and a wicked leer…

9CWL: is it too soon in the week to start thinking of “Cliffhanger”?
Actually, that goes here too…

Gweedo, that would be Vanessa Williams, who has done quite well nonetheless since then…. [Edit: I give up on the posting order of these crazy servers!]

Well, GEE1A’s avatar combines that of The Snark Ascending with a second figure. Maybe it”s an accomplice of the Snark….

So THAT’S poetic justice. Out of ammo and on the receiving end of Lena’s hoe.

One final thought on yesterday’s 9CWL (still up at c.c): Nice shoes, though I know one organist who can (and at times does) play organ in hiking boots. Still, I don’t think they’d go with her little black dress somehow.
And with that, G’nite!

I figure that my great-grandfather, who owned a saloon in Cicero, and came in to re-open after the mandated fours closed on Sunday norning and found his guard dog keepinf a close eye on Anton Cermak, who had waked up under a table in the back after the place was closed and been treed on top of the bar.
I figure great-grandad still votes the Democratic line every election.
Like my Dad, i was born in Berwyn, and i remember the surprise in his voice when i phoned him in 1990 or so when i was in Chicago and tols him that Berwyn had an Irish mayor.

Be glad you don’t live in Louisiana, then the only state where an actual semi-official Democratic Party bumper sticker during primary season said “Vote for the crook - it’s important!” (A known embezzler was running against KKK/ne0-Nazi David Duke in the Dem primary…)

You can slay anyone you want
At Lena’s hoe-down haunt
You can drain anyone you want
At Lena’s hoe-down haunt
Walk right in, by portal or foot
You’ll know it by the smell of dinner starting to cook
Yes, you can slay anyone you want
At Lena’s hoe-down haunt (excepting Lena!)
