Halleluja!!!

Dru, in all her glory, with a strategically-placed Nat-tie look. Love the fedorah atop Dru’s flowing locks!
Mattimeomeg said, 4 months ago

If all that’s lost is a bicuspid, I think that Nat came out quite well from the encounter. Considering that a mind fusion has happened or is imminent.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Got to love the strategically placed tip of Nat’s tie…. It helps keep us PG. –Or PG-13?
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

This one is so good, I had to add it to my “Collection”; thanks, GoComics!
UncaAlby said, 4 months ago

Yah, that’s what they used t’ call me, back in the day.

(grabs suspenders and sticks chest out proudly)

“Not bad, Alby”.

Yep!

“Not particularly good …”

Gweedo, I could create a link to it, but would not do so without prior approval from The Old Wolf and the photographer….

Hang on to that until Wolfie returns.

My favorite boy/girl pose. Come to think of it any pose that requires close contact of “opposites”, is my favorite.

Nah, that don’t matter.

She’s a demon, she don’t got nuthin down there. Everything she accomplishes is through the mind.

Like the old saying, your biggest sexual organ is between your ears.
UncaAlby said, 4 months ago

Consider it like she’s really wearing a skin-tight cat-suit. We can all imagine that she’s nakkid as a jaybird, coz that’s what’s always said in the strip. But, there’s nuthin t’ see. No bumps, no grooves, no … well, I’d better stop before the NannyFilter throws my laptop out the window!
Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

Just not as bad as you couldbe,Alby

I’ve never seen a hat look so good. If she’s selling, I’m buying. I’ll never see a Fedora in the same light again, unless Dru shows up at my place with it on.
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

Shucks, UncaAlby, you’re ruining my new riddle–what’s the difference between a fig-leaf and a green tie?

EDIT: (answer: “Not much that I can see!”)
StradMan37 said, 4 months ago

I got it - #19!

AND, Sisyphos, I got the jump on the Nat-tie ref!

A nice evening’s work……..

If succubi aren’t conceived and born in the human manner, why does Dru have a navel?
UncaAlby said, 4 months ago

@DonTomasoAquino said, less than a minute ago

If succubi aren’t conceived and born in the normal manner, why does Dru have a navel?

Why does she have anything? She’ll certainly never need to feed babies!
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

I see why she’s called the sexy one.

dpetril: could the toothed bills be attached to Playtypuseses perhaps?

Platypi do not have a bill, exactly, nor teeth(I think)

Sorry to argue, but Wikipedia agrees with me: …this egg-laying, venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed mammal baffled European naturalists when they first encountered it… Okay, they have bills, but maybe not teeth.

But this little duck-billed quadraped scarfing bagel bits sure looks like a platypus to me!

DonTomasoAquino said, 4 bagels ago

If succubi aren’t conceived and born in the human manner, why does Dru have a navel?

Why? I’ll tell you why: TRADITION!

And artistic licence. And she’d look wrong without one. I saw an ad recently with the model’s navel airbrushed out, and it was wrong, Wrong, WRONG.

I like the colour of that tie! And it’s where it is because of tradition too. Dru’d look wrong without naughty bits. And she’d look REAL wrong with them - Mr. McE said he’s not disposed to show the naughty bits even if the publisher would allow it. And they wouldn’t.

See…my evidently “X” rated mind immediately said, “the way to a man’s mind is through that?”

9 Chickweed Lane: the essential Edda.

:o)
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

To quote Edda: “Gloriosky!”
Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

One may choose to note that Nat has a firm hold on Dru’s left thigh as he spits out his bicuspid….
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

9CL: Edda, you’re a mischievous little prankster!
BikeNBoatN said, 4 months ago

In the sketch, Dru only says “Wow”. “Gloriosky” is a lot more emphatic.
Gunnr said, 4 months ago

So we got ducks now, ? – no doubt we have ruddy ducks for waycyber, and buffle heads for unca alby and teals, and mallards and what have you… (doing my bit to help use up the surplus of periods)… . Ah, yes, forming the amphibious squadron of the crumb police – squirrels if by land, and ducks if by sea, and I on the opposite shore will be, cooling my bod in the water fall in the koi pond and a good time is had by all.

And Otters, too? How otterly delightful! if Otters, then we must have an escherian slip & slide. Anybody seen that vodka commercial where all the folks gather in the park after dark at a prearranged time, with a wheelbarrow full of ice for the bottles, plastic bags, and a roll of (heavy duty, one presumes) plastic sheeting? They strip down to their swimsuits, put their clothes and personal effects in the plastic bags, and when the sprinklers come on, they play slip and slide with the plastic sheeting. We need one like that, only super slick, and escherian. The otters won’t care if it’s large enough for people. We’ll just have to have a disinclination fence to keep the little mooches out of the koi pond, lest they go after the koi. – same idea as an “electric fence” except when it is approached, the otter experiences a sudden disinclination to continue in that direction – no shocks, no unpleasantness, just a disinclination to continue in that direction. Kind of like the SEP field in Hitchhikers guide to the U…

I also vote that all our “liberry” books can be rendered totally waterproof upon request for reading in pond, pool, tub or sprinkler, and other such damp locations. In the event of a water landing, your couch cushion can be used as a flotation device… .

” Gloriosky ! ” ? ?

Orphan Annie she ain’t !
azrach said, 4 months ago

re; Dru having a navel …Remembering back (I don’t have it archived) … when Dru first did a transition from church-lady to her real form, she referred to her ancestry. All I remember for sure was that she said that there was some troll included in her background, but regardless of the details, it was an indication that she WAS born, no matter what the usual origin of demons is.
HectorPriam said, 4 months ago

Dru needs to slide forward about two feet to find out if Nat is bad or not bad.
azrach said, 4 months ago

Looking back over today’s (tonight’s?) strip …. the answer may be obvious to others, but I can’t figure it out. What’s “not bad”? The implementation of a mind-fusion? cushioning a fall? or some other … uh … activity? Either way, hopefully nat has the demonic ability to regenerate a new bicuspid.

Bert: “So,I was reading the paper, and I turned to my lad and said ‘Can you believe all these stupid names celebrities give their children? Pilot Inspecktor, Fifi Trixibelle, Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily, Moon Unit. Promise me you will never give any of your children stupid names, won’t you, Frodo?’”

Hey Drusilla! You can leave your hat on! (Joe Cocker, with a hot scene from 9 1/2 Weeks): http://tinyurl.com/knzbyg
Saskfan said, 4 months ago

Dru looks very good in the fedora, and Edda looks fabulous in the strapless swim suit. It covers everything, so Sr. Steven can’t be grumpy; but it shows off her figure perfectly. Just the right “wrapping paper.” Good choice, Amos.

Now, can we see everyone in the other pond? I wanna see their reaction now that the brat Edda has their clothes.

Two laps of the pool with the Platypi, then I’m off to the wooden mountain. MARCO!

We are waiting on a ruling from the Judges on tonight’s QUIZ.
There seems to be a dispute between:
.5. Dru/Nat. One Mind/One Body.
.15. None of the above.
and,
.16. None of the below.

The results will be posted in 8 hours after I get some sleep. ;^o z-z-z

So I’m guessing Dru’s burns from that electrical shock are permanent?

REVENGE OF THE GNOMES

Mrs. Rutherford was a woman who loved her flowerbed, she had everything from daisy’s to geraniums. But what she cherished more were her garden gnomes. Her gnomes kept watch over all her flowers.

“Why do you want gnomes in your flowerbed, they’re evil little things”, her neighbors would say. Mrs. Rutherford didn’t mind the criticism. She had grown used to it over the years.

One night a person in the neighborhood decided to take it upon himself to get rid of the gnomes. He went through Mrs. Rutherford’s flowerbed with blind range. smashing everything in site.

The next morning, Mrs. Rutherford came out to water her flowers. The site of her ruined flowerbed was to much for her heart to bare. She collapsed from a heart attack and died.

Night time came and a full moon shined brightly on a cloudless night. Three gnomes had survived the previous night’s attack and put forth a plan of revenge in motion. They knew who it was that destroyed their flowerbed and killed their comrade, Giggle-Loafer. And they knew where he lived as well.

They went to the garage and got the tools that they needed then began their revenge quest.

Mr. Donelli was having a quiet night at home. He did the neighborhood a favor,destroying the flowerbed. He felt now for sure that Mrs. Rutherford would believe that gnomes were evil and would get rid of them.

A knock came at his door. Could it be the police! Had someone spotted him in Mrs. Rutherford’s flowerbed. He got up and went to the door. He was relieved to see that there was no police at his door.

Then suddenly! he felt a sharp pain in his foot. A gnome with a very evil smile had nailed his left foot through the wooden plank of his front porch. The second gnome came with a baseball bat and began beating him with it.

Mr. Donelli broke free from the floor board of his front porch and limped fast to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. He thought he was safe. He was wrong.

The third gnome hiding in the shower got Donelli’s attention and blinded Donelli with cleaning detergent. Mr. Donelli now blind and helpless walked all through the house. As he walked up the stairs all three gnomes hurled themselves at him. Mr Donelli fell backwards down the stairs and broke his neck killing him instantly.

The police on a phone call from a neighbor showed up the next morning at Donelli’s house. They found Donelli dead at the bottom of the stairs. Next to him were the broken remains of the gnome statues. “Looks like we now know who vandalized Mrs. Rutherford’s flowerbed”. The police sargeant said. “Just goes to show you, why people consider gnomes to be evil”. The police rookie said as he looked at the broken gnome statues. THE END

I had this chiller of a tale brewing in my head all day today.
It kind of gave me the creeps as I typed this story out. I lost count of how many times, I looked over my shoulder to see if there was anything behind me. Hope you all enjoy it.

Really creepy story, ladywolf17! I liked it.

Hey guys We scared away Mr Spock yesterday and didn’t even know it. He must have been lurking, guess our intelligence scared him a little because he felt that if he said anything we might think of him as a troll. Both Marg number one tonight and myself tried to help him understand that we are an intelligent group of fun loving people, and that he should give us a chance.

A quick note to all of you. As of Saturday or Sunday I will not be availiable to come to the computer
My dad’s brother and his family are coming in from Arizona, so I’m going to have to show my cousins a good time. (That totally freaking sucks on so many levels.) As far as I know they will be here for a week. SEE I TOLD YOU THAT, THAT SUCKS ON SO MANY LEVELS

A whole week without my Pibgorn Now that’s torture.
Ladywolf17 said, 4 months ago

My instincts are telling me not to click on the Pibgorn sketches button for some reason. And I know to obey my instincts after all I am a wolf.

My dad on the other hand! Well nothing gonna stop him if he chooses to look on the other Pibgorn sketches page.
waycyber said, 4 months ago

@ladywolf17 Another good one. I will miss your stories during your absence, unless you can persuade your family that Pibgorn is part of having a good time (and who here would disagree?)

Methinks gloriosky is more a reference to Little Annie Fannie (Playboy comics) than Little Orphan Annie. It certainly fits the context!

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.
