I thought that Dru was beginning to wake up, so to speak, but it only put her into Tom’s clutches again.
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

Looks like Dru stuck her finger in a light socket - this is not good.

Tom’s yella eyes are just a fright……..

Tom Torquemada, a.k.a. The Roasted Grinch, has targeted Dru/Dinah again, because she is his consistent and true Nemesis!
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Dinah/Dru appears to be in the initial stages of a Transformation back to her “true” demon-appearances (for the sake of Tommy’s Tortures, I suppose).

Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Well, quizzically, I was half-right.
MurphyHerself said, 4 months ago

Ooops, looks like the only good answer is punishable by something NOT good.
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Did Dinah/Dru’s dress suddenly become shorter?

There’s no dialogue in the sketch, and Crandall in panel 2 is shifted over to the right a little.
Chuck Clay said, 4 months ago

Now is that REALLY Tom T, or is the Grinch standing in for him in that penultimate frame?
waycyber said, 4 months ago

This is shocking!
Joe Minotaur said, 4 months ago

Isn’t there a song with the lyric:
“Lightning under her dress.”?
VicTR said, 4 months ago

Crandall has the I.Q. of a door knob.
( I was going to say house plant but I
think that would be too high. )
macFicheallaigh said, 4 months ago

Tom T should have learned his lesson several times over, not to mess with Dru when she shakes free from the grip of hell. Makes me wonder if there is someone or something else pulling Tom’s strings.
azrach said, 4 months ago

come on, Dru! Absorb that power that they’re hitting you with, and throw it back at them!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@VicTR I understand some plants are very intelligent. I mean, they spend their days feeding on soil nutrients and bathing in sunlight. They get insects to do the hard work in propagating the species (orchids are very cunning in this regard). They don’t worry about fashion or material possessions.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Are any of you whooping lasciviously?

Why not? By accepting free tickets to this episode of I’ll See You in Hell First, you have agreed to follow audience cues. Read the fine print on your ticket! Don’t make us rely solely on the pre-recorded whoops!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@Sisypho
Are any of you whooping lasciviously?

No, I think he lives in the next street.
VicTR said, 4 months ago

Waycyber -
That’s why I changed it to doorknob…
I didn’t want to insult my Aspidistra or
my African Violets ! :}
Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

11:49 MDT. I can’t be the only one here ?
Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

This thing swallowed my last post.
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

Gweedo, We’re here, you just can’t see us.
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

Strangest game show ever! But entertaining none the less.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Ahem! I was, waycyber, as I believe you know full well, referring to the director’s prompt appearing across the bottom of Crandall’s second scene…. (grumbles something about “cheap jokes from across the pond”)
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

That’s cause you are refreshing yesterday’s strip.
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

@ Gweedo, if you are reading this, you figured it out.
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

Good news! The swelling in my ankle went down. So the doctor put me in a new walking boot cast and said that I can go back to work as long as I don’t do any kind of heavy work. I am so happy.
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

Oh boy, it looks like Dru/Dinah’s dress is disappearing in electric sparks! Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis could get, um, interesting very quickly.
Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

I thought I’d never see this but I have 26 comments listed and can’t see-a-one.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Good news, indeed, ladywolf17! Be sure, as the doctor said, not to put any strain on it!
ejcapulet said, 4 months ago

Looks like Dru’s personality is starting to shine through.. you can’t keep a good succubus down (unless she wants you to).
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Wow, 9 pages (432 posts) over the weekend. Is that a record?
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Hmmm, still no 9CL over at either Houston or C-dot-C.
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

@ B&B, It probably is a record for legitimate posts.
We pushed 500 in the past but that was with lots of one word posts.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

CdotC posts on the next hour. All HChron’s B & W’s remain unposted….
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

@ HUSTON you have a problem!
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@VicTR In the UK we are having problems with a native strain of violets. In fact, people complain that there is an epidemic of Saxon Violets here.
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Interesting how a character that some found rather distasteful (Sweaty Betty) was able to incite so many posts. Maybe that was Brooke’s plan all along: give us all a polarizing character to talk about all weekend long. If that was his plan, ya gotta admit, it worked!
jml58 said, 4 months ago

Remember what happened the last time Dru put her fingers in a socket.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

7:12 BST and we are getting ready for a new week here in the wonderful city of MK. The Jaffa Cake Trees are giving their first crop of the day. The fruit of the Sliced Loaf Bush is especially good. You have to be careful when squeezing Cappuccino Berries, however, as they can scald.
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

Saxon Violets Groan!

Please, give whirled peas a chance!

{}{}{}{}
I’m sure you’re working on it right now. ¦–]
.
. Not quite flyguy. I refresh until I see the tomorrow arrow, Then I punch for today’s. I was looking at the new strip and wondered why the comments were empty. I made my first. By my third drop I noticed 26 were on but not visible. For the first time ever I had to go to the A-Z list and come in through the back door.
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

I wonder if sex will get past NannyBot but violence will be ok.
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

WOW NannyBot approves of both sex and violence!
Fly Guy said, 4 months ago

Glad you were able to join us Gweedo.
Gunnr said, 4 months ago

I think maybe sometimes that people who say they don’t like scat (and the all too significant percentage of people who try to do it), what they don’t understand about scat is that it is playing the human voice as though it were an instrument –freeing it from the “singing the words” part of vocal music which is primarlily a verbal, language thing (take the “lyrics” part of music far enough in the “verbal” direction and it become rap). Scat is taking vocal music in the other direction. You get emphasis on the pitch and tonal qualities and timbers of the voice –all the same concepts that you use to evaluate the tonal qualities of a bassoon, or a piccolo, or a violin– all the scat “nonsens syllables” are just different tonal qualities of the voice – the hollow vowels, and the sharp percussive consonants. We are all raised in the tune-and-lyrics context and we tend to think that’s the only way humans can make their own music. Trust Ella to know exactly what scat is about.
zorchon said, 4 months ago

(Hnur, hner, he said “Scat” )
-Sorry, had a bout of immature potty humour.
@ladywold great news! will you get a hot set of crutches now then?
Dru’s reply had me letting loose a guffaw today.
Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

Deer hunters get excited about scat too Gunnr.
VicTR said, 4 months ago

WAYCYBER -
Can’t the authorites or, perhaps the
Church do something about all that
Sex…er Saxon Violets ? !
VicTR said, 4 months ago

BikeNBoatN…

Whirled peas in our time ?
I’m sure I’ll not live to see that.

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.
