Nice snappy comeback, Oognat. I love Nat peering out of the bottom right hand corner.
Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

So, I repeat, Teau-Teau=Toto?
MoonsingerFan said, 5 months ago

Teau-teau (Toto) du tu=all of you. Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas.

Oh man, I’m in lust.

Poor Bustard!
Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

Nat-in-the-corner is an afterthought, not in the sketch. –A great comic addition!
Sisyphos said, 5 months ago

Teau-Teau’s charming little outfit pretty well defines skin-tight! Wow!

I call them “hot”.

Revelation!

Unfortunately, just like the one given to St. John, this divulgation still doesn’t exactly make eveything clear…

We now know, though:

That Oognat, despite her non-Gallic vocabulary and speech patterns, is supposed to be French.
That she has been revealed as Toto.
That this poppy-field is therefore in Oz…or at least has an Ozzian vibe.
That there is thus absolutely at least one element of the Dreamtime that is not taken from the Borgia Cantus

If the metaphor *is* Oz and the metaphor is to be fully played, there are roles yet to cast:
The Scarecrow.
The Tin Woodman.
The Cowardly Lion.
Dorothy.
To say nothing of such major supporting figures as The Wicked Witch, Glinda, and The Wizard.

If the metaphor is fully played, I believe I mentioned earlier my bad feeling as to who may end up dressed as Dorothy….

I leave Hamantashen in two flavors: honey-poppyseed (for the OTC, Llefty, Gruff and the squirrels) and apricot (for the fruit-bats). The coffee is Peet’s (at the moment, I’m next door to one and I’m not feeling creative).

For now, I must away…

Right about now it looks like Nat’s going to need a chiropractor.
ejcapulet said, 5 months ago

Poor Nat, one look says sooo much: “Excuse, me, but could you remove your left stilletto from my spinal cord?”
Ladywolf17 said, 5 months ago

While I’m still here, can anyone tell me if there is any Pibgorn graphic novels, if so would it be in any bookstore or would I have to order it online. Any input you guys or gals can give me would be eternally great full. Thank you.
VicTR said, 5 months ago

Oh, to be Nat ! !
DryGrub Willie said, 5 months ago

Ladywolf17 – There are two, The Girl in the Coffee Cup, which chronicles the beginning of the strip, and the origin of the characters, and Pibgorn Rep: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Both are available at VERY reasonable prices, considering their content, from Pibgorn Press.

http://pibpress.blogspot.com/

Enjoy. The lady I love loves grape Popsicles, and Fudgesicles, so boxes of both are on ice at the sideboard.
Saskfan said, 5 months ago

I like the ladies(?) leaning on the panel frame!

Ladywolf: there are books. They are available at: http://pibpress.blogspot.com/

Fearcuil’s boilerplate that’s usually at the top of the comments can point you to the same site. He also has links to introductions to the Order of the Couch, the characters of the strip, and Honourable Master’s blog.

In honour of M.C. Escher’s birthday, there’s leftover cake on the sideboard; it’s two misaligned layers of brownies with marzipan between, frosted with chocolate icing. Baked in a Moebius-strip pan, of course. And there are klein bottles of fruit juice next to the cake.
BikeNBoatN said, 5 months ago

So, does she stutter? Or does she really repeat that 4 times?
wolfbyte36 said, 5 months ago

Teau-Teau you can call me anytime and bring your friends.
Ladywolf17 said, 5 months ago

Dad mind your manners or i’ll have to ground you. Thanks for the info guys.
Fly Guy said, 5 months ago

@Saskfan, How did you fill the Klein bottles. Every time I
try to pour something in it leaks off the outer surface.
wolfbyte36 said, 5 months ago

ladywolf- lol sorry kiddo but you’ll have to catch me first.
baslim_the_begger said, 5 months ago

So is she going to Apache Dance with Nat?
The stripes do not make her look fat!
I wonder if she is as lusty as the other two. I’m sure nat won’t be as repressed as Goeff.
pbarnrob said, 5 months ago

You can find ‘real’ Acme Klein bottles (thanks to Cliff Stoll, of The Cuckoo’s Egg fame) at (www.kleinbottle.com). Don’t forget the one-sided Moebius Scarf!

VERRRRY carefully. :)

And yes, pbarnrob, I’m aware of the kleinbottle site too. I love their offer of Klein jigsaw puzzles! You may have to break one of your windows or a bottle of your own to complete the puzzle. But each puzzle comes with a free bandaid!
OldMan Montgomery said, 5 months ago

Is Oogie going to Apache dance with Nat?

She just did, only in a reverse role mode.

We have mobius strip shaped brownies and refreshments in Klein bottles? They will all fit nicely on the eleven dimensional brane table. I checked and I think all the black holes are gone. Except the one in my stomach, of course.

I love Nat peeking through and hanging on the corner. Nice touch.

Too too much
MrDanger said, 5 months ago

I understand that Brooke spent hours sketching ballerinas while a student at Julliard. We are exceedingly grateful.
Elizabeth said, 5 months ago

That was a classy comeback.
It’s not a stutter, she’s doing the James Bond intro (Bond.James Bond) only backwards with first name first instead of last name first. ‘Teau Teau. Teau Teau de Tu’. Plus what a great pose to leave us hanging until Monday.
sarge112751 said, 5 months ago

I have already;

Downloaded this ‘shot’ and several others;
“Edited” out the “uninteresting” panels leaving;
some GREAT ‘add-ons’ to my desktop and laptops screen-saver programs!

(Thank You - Thank you - oh bloody well THANK YOU!!)
paciii said, 5 months ago

Hmmm… an Oz paralell…
Dorothy first - Dru
Meets the scarcrow who falls down: Nat
Then the TinMan - Pib?
But she should have arrived WITH her dog Toto…
Maybe the name’s changed and this is the un-cowardly hairy beast - Oognat/Toto
so we await the rest of the cast and see if the sparlky bubbles is the yellow brick road or not…

Wonder if the nurse & docs that were in the operating room will turn up as the wicked witch and monkeys??

If this is Ozian, it is a bit twisted. But Geoff might be a good wizard – ignore that accordian-player behind the curtain of ice…

Something to think about over the weekend.

Of course, the movie only touched on about half the material of the first half of “The Wizard of Oz”… there are 13 other Baum-written Oz books and what, 18-20 more by Bloom and other authors… This might pull in one of the other stories’ content… (but I don’t remember an “Volcano of Oz” edition…)
Moe A. said, 5 months ago

I can do little more than add emphasis, the art is great, the use of the frame-as-prop is super….
BUT (and it’s a BIG but, as the joke goes),
I’m enjoying reading everyone’s input just as much as the installment itself.
Admittedly not the brighest light in the harbor, I had to look up what a Klein Bottle was (though I did know of the Mobius strip)….
I simply hope that bottle is filled with merlot or Grand Marnier.
Have a wonderful weekend, OTC’ers!
-MOE h.o.s.

Teau Teau … that adds up!

OG I love stripes!!!
TheDoctortheoneonlya... said, 5 months ago

Ouch,Hurt Me!…….Who knew there was all that YUMMY under all that hair.Q: Is that pronounced “Tah-Tah” or “2-2?” ** I still think this (PIBGORN) would make a GREAT MOVIE. Unfortunately whoever’s cast, you would see the smoke flying from keyboards as people wrote–“WHAT,HIM/HER? R.U.NUTZ(twitter) GAWD,THIS’LL SUCK”,etc. and so forth….But still a great idea.

fear-ciuil said, about 9 hours ago
Very tired today, after a day of fighting the FDIC (what they’re doing would be considered abusive in absolutely any relationship but, apparently, that of taxpayer to government) and ….

I was working for a large bank in Houston when the FDIC came in 2 days before Halloween, most thought it was unfair because the bondholders had a vote coming at the beginning of November and had already verbally aggreed to terms that would allow the bank to stay solvent. And the short greasy twerp with the limo and bodyguards that had run the bank into the ground got off scott-free! Figures!

Anyway fear-ciuil hope things are better for you today! I am massively curious about what bank and what is the FDIC doing, etc… . but this is not the place to review details.

good luck - and remember - it is FRIDAY!

so sez me

Oog la la!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEU

TEU may refer to:

The Twenty-foot equivalent unit, a measure used in intermodal transport, or
the Treaty on European Union, also known as the Maastricht Treaty.

I’m confused!
maeverin said, 5 months ago

HAHA Nat peering over the panel makes the whole strip!
there’s that “they” again–the smoke monster?

hey all:
my 84yr old father took a fall yesterday and ended up with some minor brain hemmoraging. he’s okay, they don’t think they’ll have to operate, but they want to keep him in the hospital for a few days anyway.

if you could send some good vibes or a prayer his way, it’d be much appreciated.
bmonk said, 5 months ago

I’m with Elizabeth on the matter of the name. She’s saying, “They call me Teau Teau…. [My full name is ] Teau Teau de Tu.”

I’m ever so glad we now have names for all the major characters in their dream-entrapment. I’m just wondering if (and how) Maurice and Geoff will show up.

@maeverin, of course, we will be more than glad to pray for your father.

About Klein bottles: you can get one if you paste the edges of two Moebius strips together properly. However, once you do, everything is inside the bottle…

EZasPi said, 5 months ago

Oz - I like the idea. With poppies and now Teau-Teau suggesting the theme, perhaps the character parallels are do not come from the timing of their entrance, but possibly their motivation. In this case, the Pib parallel would be Dorothy, as she has the quest to find Geoff.. who parallels the Wizard?

There’s no way we could consider Dru to be a Cowardly anything however, which would only leave the Scarecrow, as Nat has repeatedly demonstrated his claim to the title Tin Woodsman.

The more I ponder,it seems, the thinner this line of reasoning becomes. After all, what will become of Maurice; Wicked Witch? Flying Monkey? Munchkin?

It appears I must at last join up residence on the Couch. I come bearing chocolate chip scones.

Well, Teau Teau, it looks like we’re not in Kansas anymore.
