Nice black and white tonight. I think he’s found the volcano…
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

“Over” - and out!

9CWL:

Right couple, wrong pond….
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

I think it’s water: were it fiery volcano, we’d see fiery color rather than monochrome….
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

Just quite talking already!

9CL: He sound’s like he’s from west Texas!
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

Looks like the deadly thunder-bolt stuff that Dru shoots outta her fingers.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Mattimeomeg, he sounded “Down East” to me!
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

Sisyphos, I grew up in Eastern NM, and had a lot of contact with people from west Texas. “That there pod” and “t’other” are (to me) classic examples of the Texan accent, more specifically the west Texan accent.

rut roh!
macFicheallaigh said, 4 months ago

Wow!

Is that stuff rising or falling?
fatuncle said, 4 months ago

Sisyphos said, *”…I think it’s water: were it fiery volcano, we’d see fiery color rather than monochrome….”

Unless it’s absolutely, incandescently hot. Hot enough all color bleaches out ( at least in frequencies the eye sees ).

macFicheallaigh said, ”…Is that stuff rising or falling?”

Falling, I think.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Hmm. As I said “last night,” I think it’s erupting from below (and splashing all over the ceiling of the tunnel)….
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

Sisyphos - that looks ‘bout right. Over.
ARF2 said, 4 months ago

It’s just another of those distractions Nat was complaining about. Over.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

Anabelle Smith looked over her team. They had stood together loyally for many years. Yes, there had been disagreements, even conflicts, but somehow they were always sorted out.

“OK, ladies, these good people need our help and they are going to get it. Agreed?”

“Agreed, Anabelle.” They chorused.

Temperance, your job is to get the sponge. Beatrice, the jelly. Aysha-Emma.”

“Don’t tell me. It’s the fruit. It’s always the fruit.” Aysha-Emma Murdoch turned her cap so the peak faced backwards, thrust her hands in her pockets and strolled out.

“Do you trust her, Anabelle?”

“Beatrice Baracus. How can you say that? Murdoch has always come through for us.”

“She’s a crazy fool.”

“That’s not nice,” said Temperance Peck. “She’s helped you out on many occasions.”

“You mean knocking me out all those times?”

“Well, at least you didn’t get seasick.”

“I don’t get seasick. I just hate boats.”

“Ladies, ladies. We have jobs to do. Let’s get to it.”

In a couple of hours, the team reassembled and set to work. Once the ingredients were combined it was put into the fridge to set. The ladies of the Rotary Club applauded the team when they were presented with the finished product.

Annabelle turned to the other ladies and just said “I love it when a flan comes together.”
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Mattimeomeg, I lived two (long ago) years in South Central Texas, and have travelled westwards from there. But, in any case, they are in New Hampshire, so a New England accent of some sort seems more likely.
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

@Waycyber: GROAN!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

Pib: I think Ed’s found something. But is he able to tell anyone?
ejcapulet said, 4 months ago

to all you LOVELY, WONDERFUL PEOPLE who remembered my birthday yesterday:

THANK YOU!!!

(I’ve been waiting forever for an excuse to use that huge font - hee hee hee!)
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

waycyber, I’m having an attack of déjà vu all over again! Over!
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Pib: The sketch and the final almost look the same.

9CL: Interesting how Amos always goes swimming wearing his glasses.
AliKzam said, 4 months ago

Workman’s comp!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@Sisyphos Yeah, sorry about that. I had a bout of premature exposition last night.
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

@BikeNBoatN:

I also go swimmin’ with my glasses on - not nice to be half-blind, with all those scantily-clad ”opposite deals” (mid-western term fer ”hotties”) to be admired.
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

Hello everyone! ladywolf17 has decided to take the night off. She has decided to follow the advice that the Old wolf gave her . So right now she’s having a girls night in slumber party with my sister and her daughter Ally. Watching movies, playing board games, crankin up the stereo, and eating pizza.

Poor Ed! So does this mean he becomes a part of this dream too!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

Did you hear about the man that spent all his years in a cabin overlooking a moving glacier? He saw the ice pass before his whole life.
Don Tomaso said, 4 months ago

Kinda fits right in with the Bogie theme. It’s a black & white movie. Touch of insomnia the past 2 days but at least I get to see the new strip sooner.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Hi, wolfbyte36! I’m not sure about Ed’s fate. But for girls’ night & pizza, see today’s C’est la Vie, a comic about which I know ladywolf17 sometimes comments: http://tinyurl.com/m5rgs7
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

Sorry people but I’m just not the story teller, that ladywolf17 is. I’m sure she’ll have one when she returns tomorrow night.

This coming sunday ladywolf has to go back to the doctor to see if the swelling went down.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

If Dru is somewhere in the hospital, which is in the volcano, she is above Ed. Those flames or whatever they are seem to be coming from below. So, could something be attacking Dru ‘s physical form from Hell?
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

AliKzam you mention workmans comp. That’s exactly what I’ve been giving ladywolf17. Putting it in her bank account, and she doesn’t know it yet, at lease until she reads the Pibgorn comments tomorrow morning when she wakes up.

Won’t she be surprised.
VicTR said, 4 months ago

Roger…Wilco…Out.
“Over and out” is not acceptable procedure.
It’s “over” or “out”. Not the two together…
So there ! ;}
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Could this geyser (if that is what it is, in some fashion) be an offspring [pun intended] of the unresolved Frozen Tsunami from Hades’ realm?
wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

Time for me to turn in good night all.
Joe Minotaur said, 4 months ago

I would say that this is the “Volcano” breaking through from above. Look at the sparklies falling from the cracks. All that’s missing is color(?).

9CWL:
Wrong pond. Who called it?
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Sleep well, wolfbyte36; nice surprise you’ve got for ladywolf17!
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

Good night all!
Skyhawk_maintainer said, 4 months ago

Wilco = Will comply
Over = It’s your turn to talk
Out = This conversation is terminated

“Over and out” states it’s your turn to talk, but I’m hanging up now so you can talk to yourself.
pittfall said, 4 months ago

Poor Ed, he’s just trying to do his job and find out just why the heck there is a volcano in the middle of the city with no source, then BAM! rosted Ed. Over.
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 4 months ago

Agatha just cut a new round elevator shaft.
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Yes, he’s over it all right…..he just needs to get over it…….
pbarnrob said, 4 months ago

They’re starting to sound like an Abbott and Costello gag…

Oh; and ‘Roger’ = I understand, or concur. Out.
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 4 months ago

Simon:

Gentlemen, I’d like you to meet your captain, Captain Oveur.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Gentlemen, welcome aboard.
Simon: Captain, your navigator, Mr. Unger, and your first officer, Mr. Dunn.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Unger.
Mr. Unger: Oveur.
Mr. Dunn: Oveur.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Dunn. Gentlemen, let’s get to work.
Simon: Unger, didn’t you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?
Mr. Unger: Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur, and I was under Dunn.
Mr. Dunn: Yep.
Simon: So, Dunn, you were under Oveur, and over Unger.
Mr. Dunn:Yep.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Uhh, that’s right. Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.
Mr. Unger: So, you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn.
Capt. Clarence Oveur: Dunn was over Unger, and I was over Dunn.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@Nabuquduriuzhur I’m glad that is over and done with.
zorchon said, 4 months ago

Good call yesterday people with the “overs”, over.
That semifluid magic, or incandescent magma has weakened the ground beneath the hospital and broken through… but what is it, and why?
my shot in the dark will be….
it’s a plasma discharge from dru, given extra whammy from the energy she’s drawing off Nat, directed (even when she’s asleep,) at the groaningly silly wordplay taking place down below.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@zorchon So the wordplay is overdone?
MasterDiver said, 4 months ago

And THAT, Senator, is why we asked you not to smoke in a missile silo…
waycyber said, 4 months ago

I love the smell of magma in the morning
DaveGlass said, 4 months ago

“Frying tonight!”

And I apologise to “The Carry On Team”
waycyber said, 4 months ago

Over enthusiastic?

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.
