… and I still don’t have the finished work. ::pouts::

I think that lamp has about had it for tonight.
fear-ciuil said, 11 months ago

Ah-ha! There it is!

BMONK: Bless you and your mother. I hope everything turns out well.
I like Dru’s new color…I wonder if it’s permanent.
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Reposted from yesterday’s comments (with a second-thought addendum):

Oh, my.

The mojo lamp’s state looks sorta familiar… {http://picayune.uclick.com/comics/pib/2005/pib050203.gif}
Dru’s new colouring does resemble Spinky’s (as i expected), in its glossy surface, but it’s identifiably hers, even if somewhat changed.

But i have to say, it reminds me of a salamander… {http://tinyurl.com/5zacjv}

9CL: It ain’t over till it’s over, as the great Berra once remarked.
Margueritem said, 11 months ago

She melted the mojo lamp, and looks a bit melted herself. She’s just resting.
txmystic said, 11 months ago

oooooo….love the black…

Not, i hope, like the Norwegian Blue…
tallwoman41 said, 11 months ago

Beautiful plumage…
ejcapulet said, 11 months ago

I don’t think Spinky is getting his mojo back any time soon.
Sisyphos said, 11 months ago

Drusilla just needs to catch her breath, because with all that restored and added mojo, she is turbo-supercharged–and looking very sexy.
Shalamett said, 11 months ago

Dru still has her dappling with a base of Inky’s … umm … inkiness!
debra4life50 said, 11 months ago

Boy! That must have been good for both of them…the lamp and Dru are both out of it.
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Girl looks like a Bad-a*s Biker in black leather

i will not take off my clothes
i will not be rude
for what i have done
is come to rock you

late at night while the normals rest
i feel wicked when i start to dress
my clothes, they stare at me like they
wanna make love to my body
i’m not a dream but i’m supreme and if ya
listen to the sky you see what i mean
when it rains outside, people run and hide
i walk the streets and start to pry
and wonder was i here before?
in another life? yes! i’m sure but what
as i suppose why do i get power from these clothes

black leather, i wear it on stage
black leather, i’m gonna wear it to my grave
black leather, i will wear it anywhere
because my name is drusilla and i don’t care
just the feel of it on my flesh makes me
feel wild feel possessed
but i’m not don’t get me wrong
i’m the baddest slick chick just singin’
this song

lilly white dresses sure they’re cute
they also attract a lot of men to you
but they make you feel real vulnerable
from anything that got muscle
but ya cannot take what i would not give
cuz that’s the truth that’s how i live

listen don’t slick talk me to make me indulge
cuz i am joan and i am luv!
i have this friend in a waterbed
he’s real wild when he’s soak’n’wet
yo joan let’s hang till the early dawn
scorp chill till i put my leather on

black leather, i wear it on stage
black leather, i’m gonna wear it to my grave
black leather, i will wear it anywhere
because my name is drusilla and i don’t care
just the feel of it on my flesh make me
feel wild feel possessed
but i’m not don’t get me wrong
i’m the baddest slick chick and i’m singin’
this song

this is true i gotta show no shame
i was born to freak and i’m to blame?
i coulda been a mailman in any weather
instead i’m rockin’ away in my leather
when i was young i wore skirts and lace
my father told me to slow down my pace
his friends would come over and get in my face
and ask the same question mine or your place?
it’s alright to be treated like a lady
i couldn’t wait till that notion ceased
my friends thought that i was a little angel
i couldn’t help it if i felt like a beast
so when i die don’t worry about a coffin
there won’t be no ashes to stuff in the urn
jus’ lay me out toss on the charcoal lighter
an’ fire me up smell the leather burn

black leather, i wear it on stage
black leather, i’m gonna wear it to my grave
black leather, i will wear it anywhere
because my name is drusilla and i don’t care
just the feel of it on my flesh make me
feel wild feel possessed
but i’m not don’t get me wrong
i’m the baddest slick chick and i’m singin’
this song

black leather, i wear it on stage

I have to say that I think Master McE has done a fantastic job on that 3rd panel. It’s amazing!!
Mikkail said, 11 months ago

Dru may have overdone it a bit here… Could be a bit like drinking sake - you drink the first one, the first one drinks the second one, the third one drinks you. But what a way to get a hangover!
Shalamett said, 11 months ago

Best of all hopes and prayers for your mom, and you!

Wow, just, Wow! I need a cigarette.
tallwoman41 said, 11 months ago

Well folks, it’s fun to post early but it’s bedtime. There’s a pot of posole on the stove…enjoy and goodnight. I hung the Christmas pickle on the Pibgorn tree. Mulled wine to whoever finds it.
Pokefan_Frank said, 11 months ago

Whoah! What happened to Dru? And perhaps more importantly, what happened to the lamp?
AliKzam said, 11 months ago

Oh the suspense! What will we see on her face when she lifts her head and looks at Roger?
I so wouldn’t want to be Roger right now.
fear-ciuil said, 11 months ago

Good night, folks.
jml58 said, 11 months ago

Almost too much of a good thing.
The Old Wolf said, 11 months ago

…and the snow keeps falling. We may be here all winter…

That is one over-charged capacitor. She’s got enough mojo to take care of Spitcock and send every male on earth into eternal catatonia…

9CWL: I don’t know who’s going to win the competition, but at this point the whole thing seems moot to Amos. He’s already won first prize…
Sisyphos said, 11 months ago

9CWL: Amos cannot keep his hands off his beloved. If they get to play behind a screen, I hope they remember to include the music (of course, I’m jesting; Amos will focus. Really.)!
Lampblack said, 11 months ago

Whatever else may occur, it looks as though there’ll be no more storing mojo in the lamp.

Detumescence?

I don’t know why but she squeaks when she walks and smells like a wallet. Give her whatever she wants.

What did she melt in that one?

All of our support and best wishes go out to you!

BMonk, you have thoughts and hope from Europe for your mom.

aplause to whoever it was friday mentioning the Dali Lamp. The Monochrome has a very nice artistic effect -and suggests very nicely that every lightbulb in the place has popped and shattered.

Her inkiness… is worrying.

Mrs Peel, we’re needed? Dru looks 2-D like Bugs and Daffy used to go when stimulated beyond specification…..
I’ll bet the panel transition was sloooooooooooooooh - moooooooooooh

Need a very high speed cam to capture the images of a high power dappled succubus!
Fairportfan said, 11 months ago

Dru looks 2D? Obviously you are looking at her head and shoulders, not {ahem} further down.

I see at least two refutations of your “2D” allegation.

Yeah, could work ;)

Hmmmm, sounds like something that’d be in a Joe Minotaur story. LOL

@ccdesan: Let me know if you need me to email you a set of snow chains ;)

Suffering a mildly tempered two degrees … fortunately Celsius. Melting everywhere, and the snow plow outside in the street is merely getting the slush out of the way.

Hello There,

From where does the snippet “She squeaks when she walks and smells like a wallet” come?

Thanks folks
Ray C said, 11 months ago

A flaccid lamp and a placid succubus. Looks like great fun was had by all.
Radical-Knight said, 11 months ago

SMOKIN’ !!! She’s throughly JUICED right now.
.
Yeah, I can see Dru wearing leathers, sporting “COLORS” and riding a HOG! She’d be one bad biker chick. I don’t think she’d settle for being a backrest on anyone else’s scoot though. I think she could do with a cigarette about now.
.
Fairportfan - caught your comment on CdotC, that was hilarious.

Off hand I don’t know the date, but Juliette was wearing leather underthingies to a board meeting and that was a comment of one of the trustees.

Now that Dru’s been charged up;
Here comes the charge of the LIGHT Brigade!!
