If you would like to ‘favorite’ the strip, (and maybe the sketch, too), simply log in and click on the ‘Favorite’ star at the lower right corner of the strip. Mr. McEldowney very kindly asked for us what purpose is served by favoriting, and this was the answer:
I asked my editor at Gocomics about the purpose of “favoriting” a strip. Her answer was this: “‘Favoriting’ allows people following you to see what comics you like. ‘Favorited’ comics also show up under your profile, and allow us to see what comics people are enjoying.”
Basically, I think it provides a method for spreading the word.

Yay! It Worked!!
Strodgers said, 5 months ago

Hey, when I read Pibgorn there usually 50 minimum posts. by my clock -eastern time zone USA- it’s 12:18pm. And everybody is where?
StradMan37 said, 5 months ago

Yahoo!!!

Turns out it was just TOO BESPARKLED to download in less than 11 hours!

Well, Pibby’s becomin’ Pibby, but WHAT’S happ’nin’ t’ DRU???

AND, who’s DRU-IN’ it?!?

Servin’ a salivatin’ selection o’ crumbs, under th’ couch…..
Goodquestion said, 5 months ago

Whoa! Nobody on the couch today? What happened?

Are you sure that is a roskoe in your pocket? Psychedelic dreams of effervessant dames can generate roscoelosis simulation.

Leaving nachos and dos XX for those who wish to partake.
evadrepus said, 5 months ago

Well maeverin, it’s not fear-ciuil. I am more than a bit of a lurker, but know my duty when I see it.
StradMan37 said, 5 months ago

@Goodquestion:

Nat’s just a-hummin’ - ”Got a Roscoe in My Pocket”:

arlenem said, 5 months ago

now where are they going?
fatuncle said, 5 months ago

@Strodgers: The strip just updated, a bit after noon.
Joe Minotaur said, 5 months ago

Are they going to combine again?
Will Nat commit unbridaled Humma-Humma with the result?
evadrepus said, 5 months ago

Lunch calls, then back to work.
chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

I had thought that Pib was going to wake up in Geoff’s arms as she normally recovers. But now Dru is being pulled up. Make room on the couch for me.

Does anyone know if Brooke has read Kirk’s Secret Commonwealth….it might explain some things.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Gee, my first thought was, “Only eight? Is there something wrong with the site, or do non-members only get the first few comments now?” Then I saw that it updated late.

and I agree with fatuncle: “Oh, lookit! Purty lights!”

They match! –Well, except for Dru’s red and Pib’s green. Is there some sort of equalization going on between Dru and Pib, with the Fire and Frost, Lava and Glacier?
Joe Minotaur said, 5 months ago

Mythtickle has updated as well! :O
fatuncle said, 5 months ago

@DeathDealer said, yesterday: ”I’m beginning to suffer withdrawal. No Pibgorn; no Sequential Art. (And, since it’s a Tuesday, no Girl Genius).”

Are you aware that the Foglio’s do a second strip, which updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays? It’s Buck Godot, Zap Gun For HIre, and it starts here - http://tinyurl.com/bogtee

You can get your fix every day but Sunday.
JosephR4570 said, 5 months ago

Is that a roscoe in your pocket or are you happy to see me? :)

I have no doubt that the Master has read Kirk.
chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

That surprises me.
Oh well, another theory blown as I go to the confusion couch today.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Gunnrsaid, about 21 hours ago

“Let me see if I’ve got this straight: The squirrels are the crumb police squad, the goat is in charge of leftover removal, the bats are for the bugs attracted by the food, and the llama is for comic relief and knitting. Let’s make it a cashmere goat… . hmmm, a cashmere afgan …”

On my recent trip, I got an offer for an entire llama farm, complete with about 40 (?) llamas. Do we want to go into the wholesale llama afghan business? It’ll keep our hands busy collecting the wool, carding and spinning it, weaving it, and doing the tailoring. And during all that we can muse and chat in our bamfoozled confuzzlement.
Radical-Knight said, 5 months ago

And Awwwaaayyy we go!
chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

Doesn’t surprise me, rather. Sorry, Joe I misread you.

I am a little less confused but still on the couch
chinawanderer said, 5 months ago

It’s late here.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

What, did everybody get lost? Are they busy getting caught up on Buck Godot, Zip Gun for Hire to assuage their Foglio fix? Are they waiting beside Bustard with…errr…baited breath…for things to come back down after they went up?
maeverin said, 5 months ago

lol, Nat’s just standing there “a-yuh, that’s different”
Joe Minotaur said, 5 months ago

Barkeater Lake and TOBY have updated. Looks like 12 comics have updated since 12PM EST.
TiggerLeBounce said, 5 months ago

Hmm- For a while, Pibby and Dru occupied the same body. I wonder if bits of them got stuck in each other when they got unraveled- and just now are actually getting sorted out.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Oooh! I want a lawn mower like the girls are building over at Sequential Art!
bmonk said, 5 months ago

Tigger, that’s an interesting theory. It might also explain some of their out of character behaviors recently, with Pib doing unbridled humma humma and Dru having trouble falling in care about others, as we saw in the the Torquemada Game show scene.
The Old Wolf said, 5 months ago

@All: Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I’ve landed on the farm, and am already up to my armpits in sheep ejecta and burdock weed. Came into town to get a couple of lawnmower tires repaired, and took the opportunity to come to the local library for their wireless connection.

My, aren’t the girls sparkly? Nat’s probably smart to keep his weapon at the ready - who knows what’s coming round the corner next?

Two piping-hot loaves of banana bread on the coffee table for afternoon snacks!

bmonk:

“Duuh!”

They scare me …
Floyd H. said, 5 months ago

First: I sometimes wonder how many of you are waiting to see who can get the first commemt posted?

Second: I’m not sure either of these gals would be very safe to hang out with, but certainly interesting!
bmonk said, 5 months ago

But they are so much fun! And they’ve even gotten better about all saying the same thing at the same time…
DeathDealer said, 5 months ago

Looks like transmorgraphication to me.
Floyd H. said, 5 months ago

I sometimes wonder how many of you wait to see who can post the first comment?
Floyd H. said, 5 months ago

I’m sure both of these creatures would not be safe to hang out with, but most certainly interesting
DeathDealer said, 5 months ago

And “Sequential Art” is also up with a new posting. The squirrel girls have completed their first re-design of the lawn mower. It sounds as if they may be planning the addition of a quantum anomoly grass catcher.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

DeathDealer, I beat you!
Gweedo Murray said, 5 months ago

. Joe, ya did it !
paciii said, 5 months ago

Just as long as the Sequential Art girls don’t teach our squirrels anything… they cause enough mischief as it is, we don’t need a black hole right in the middle of the couch.

We’re confused enough already, we don’t need to have any logical thoughts sucked up because we didn’t look where we sat down.
paciii said, 5 months ago

Panel 2 Colors are interesting: Dru’s magenta, Pib’s an odd green. Not what they’re supposed to be. [[But their HAIR is correctly tinted!!]]

Not the first to say: Wonder what’s going on and caused by whom?

AND… Where are they?? Dru started in the hospital (assumably at the bottom of the volcano), Nat dropped into the TOP of the volcano, Pib way out at sea where the ice is… and her form is still there with Geoff!! Yet they are all in the same dreamspace.

So… where’s the dreamscape?
ToniAnne said, 5 months ago

Old Wolf … Hahaha…. I know why it’s banana bread! I guess those bananas were just to ripe!
paciii said, 5 months ago

9CwL: Hmmm… Edda and Amos don’t seem to be able to get their message across very well… and then they don’t seem to care what the message was!

I think I need to go take a message to my wife [grin]!!
Ham_Gravy said, 5 months ago

Now if I could only find the week or so of strips I missed while I was away……..

If I was such a ‘Genius’ I would check in at least once a week.
mjolnir 9 said, 5 months ago

While it may not be the effect the Master intended, the visuals in this episode make the lyrics…”Tiny bubbles…in the wiiine…” float around in my head (the Don Ho version, of course)…

Therefore, it’s time to break out the Champagne!

(actually, it’s always a good time to break out the champagne)

I brought Taittinger. The Blanc de Blanc Brut 1943, which - as the sommelier at the Casino Royale is always happy to tell you - “is without equal.”

Sip some bubbly and reflect upon a corollary to what Nat is saying. He believes that what goes up, must come down.

But it is also a truism that everything that rises must converge…

About Pibgorn

A fantastic saga of adventure both high and low, of forbidden passion and iambic pentameter, of fays, fools, organists, demons, accordions, heaven, hell and Shakespeare, Pibgorn follows the whims and flights of its eponymous fairy heroine as she plies her conviction that there must be more to life than depositing dew drops on dandelions and sleeping under mushrooms.
