Dru’s getting a double mojo hit, and that drawing is wonderful! That will hold me until Monday.
fear-ciuil said, 11 months ago

Anybody get the sketch yet?
Ranma_one_half said, 11 months ago

First with a sword, now with a lamp. Dru seems to enjoy inanimate objects a little too much.
The Old Wolf said, 11 months ago

Absolutely shocking. Dru can look sexy doing anything at all. Bzzt!

Amos gets first prize in my book, no matter what the judges say.

Good night to all!
Sisyphos said, 11 months ago

The sketch is telling in its simplicity, but I see that some view this as orgasmic! (Anything further I might say along that last line of thought would probably not be appropriate to a family forum.)
txmystic said, 11 months ago

Yikes! shes slung her legs around the mojo lamp and the biggest discharge seems to be happening around her…oh my…

I’m gonna make this my wallpaper.
Adrienne Gormley said, 11 months ago

The sketch is sooo much more suggestive!!!
Y_Knot said, 11 months ago

Ohhhhhh, Lamp Dancing!
txmystic said, 11 months ago

I can’t seem to face up to the facts.
I’m tense and nervous and I… can’t relax.
I can’t sleep, cause my bed’s on fire.
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire.

Citywide electrical brownout? Fey Realm magical blackout? Dru is well grounded in theory and in practice.

Dru’s lamp version of having sex?
emjrn said, 11 months ago

Good gravy Marie!!! That is going to blow her toes off!

(I wonder if she will share)(grinning)
jimbo1949 said, 11 months ago

Hoist on your own mojo lamp.
txmystic said, 11 months ago

That would be Spitcock yelling “AY AY AY AY…” once Dru gets–um–finished with her infusion of mojo.

GoodNightNow!

I thought of the firsat of those immediately.

I have to say, the sketch looks like a pose out of one of those “Barely Legal” videos…
debra4life50 said, 11 months ago

Do you think that Monday we’ll get to see what all those Sartoris are doing to Spinky? Or am I behind the times?
barbhinkins said, 11 months ago

Maybe if i put in a comment I’ll be able to read the words of wisdom supplied by others!

Yow! I think I’m too young for this strip!
debra4life50 said, 11 months ago

If Dru seduces a lamp does it cry for mercy???
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Looks like Edda is about to get a really really good drink, this time - champagne, perhaps?

(Hmmm - i don’t think A & E are old enough to drink legally in the US…)
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

debra4life50 says:

“If Dru seduces a lamp does it cry for mercy???”

Perhaps it blows a fuse.

(Hey! Who’s using my screen name to post things like that?!?

(Move along, folks, nothing to see here…)

9CWL: Amos knows what’s more important than a trophy.
Pibgorn: I’d like to thank the Academy and ConEd.
Girl Genius: Friday’s strip is up.
fear-ciuil said, 11 months ago

Thanks, Sisyphos, for correcting the record.

Bonne nuit!
wndrwrthg said, 11 months ago

What a shocking developement.
GrumpyOldbear said, 11 months ago

I don’t see Edda giving up so easily. There will be an appeal.
Of course A&E have won big time outside the contest.

@TheSkulker - Jimmy Johnson (Arlo & Janis) had/has a place to post your location with a pin. And have seen it elsewhere. But had trouble getting my pin to stick near where I lived.

I guess someone should come up with a dirty joke that starts with “how many succubuses (succubi?) does it take to screw in a lightbulb…”
Ranma_one_half said, 11 months ago

I was able to find a visitor counter for the Joe Minotaur blog site. I’m averaging 24 visitors a day this month with a peak of 80 visitors in Nov.
It was hard to know just how popular the site was, but even when I don’t announce new content on this site, people still drop by.
THANK-YOU!!!
BJamesB86 said, 11 months ago

Electrifying!
jml58 said, 11 months ago

If I was a lamp, I would blow a fuse too.
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Fuses have polarity - a fact most people are unaware of.

However, elctronic and electrical professionals know that you must never never install a fuse backward, because then it wouldn’t blow, it…
Ranma_one_half said, 11 months ago

Re: Fuses. Would you like to run that one by me again?
Ranma_one_half said, 11 months ago

It can wait until morning. G’night all.

It would s*ck!!
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Not sure why i’m posting this here, but, given some of the comments some people have made, it seems as if we will ppreciate the responses to Peter’s original post:

Recent blog post from Peter David, “Writer of Stuff” (comics and SF/fantasy, mostly - best writer the Hulk ever had), about a medical procedure he and i both recently underwent:

wildflowerose said, 11 months ago

to everyone who was expecting a survey- apparently the file is corrupted and can’t be opened. sorry about that, I’ll fix and try again tomorrow. I’m tired and out of eggnog, so niteynight.

Dru: Can she do a pole dance or what?
Story Teller said, 11 months ago

ejcapulet says: “I guess someone should come up with a dirty joke that starts with ‘how many succubuses (succubi?) does it take to screw in a lightbulb…’”

Only one, but afterwards, the lightbulb will want a cigarette.

fearciuil says: “– The moon is moving away as you read this, by about 1.6 inches a year. Eventually it’ll be torn apart as an expanding sun pushes the moon back toward Earth for a wrenching close encounter.”

All that litter we’ve left laying around up there could not have helped. We should go back and clean it up…or make those spots lunar monuments, one.

“- There is no proof the full moon makes people crazy.”

HAH! Anyone who has to deal with the public on a regular basis will call you on that one. At the various radio stations I used to work at, full moon nights were always when we got the loop-de-loos calling in one after another. Ask a cop or an emergency room worker. At some point, anecdotal evidence has to be considered evidence.

Not sure if this a cliff hanger or a satisfying end to the story!

[Inky:]
I’ve got chills,
They’re multiplying.
And I’m losing self-control.
‘Cuz the power your supplying,
Its electrifying.

[Drui:]
You better give up,
‘Cuz you’re the only one,
And my plasma’s set on you
You better give up,
You better understand,
To my vengeance I must be true.

[Inky:]
(nothing left, nothing left for me to do)

[Both:]
You’re the one that I want.
(You are the one i want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want.
(You are the one i want want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want
(You are the one i want want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh.
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

[Inky:]
Oh, no, no no

[Dru:]
You’re filled with my affection,
You’re to sly and to low,
Betta take my direction.
(feel the pain)

[Inky:]
(I’ll feel the pain)

[Dru:]
You better give up,
‘Cuz you’re the only one,
(The only one)
That I want to fry.

[Inky:]
I’d better give up,
or feel the hoe,
and my pain is justified.

[Inky:]
Are you sure?
Both:
Yes, I’m sure down deep inside.

[Both:]
You’re the one that I want.
(You are the one i want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want.
(You are the one i want want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want
(You are the one i want want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh.
The one I need.
Oh, yes indeed.

I’ve got chills they’re multiplying.
(You’re the one I want)
‘Cuz the power you’re supplying.
(You’re the one, baby)
If you’re filled with vindication ,
(You’re the one I want)
Betta take my direction.
(You’re the one, baby)

[Both:]
You’re the one that I want.
(Are you the one for me?)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want.
(You are the one I want want)
Oh, Oh, Ooh. Honey.
The one that I want

Oh, Oh, Ooh.

zZZZZAPPPppppp! This needs to be a wallpaper (HINT, BMcD!)
Hugh B. Hayve said, 11 months ago

Awesome strip today, I agree it would make a beauty wallpaper. 9CWL; there definitely should be any appeal, the fact of the matter is, that the kids had their privacy invaded. They were alone in a room and should have had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Another slick song, Frida! Well done!
DeathDealer said, 11 months ago

Is it my imagination, or did that lamp just get about ten inches longer?
