    A lovely handful Nat has, at “the bottom” of panel 2.

    But - “and then she was gone”???……..Back to the Tom T. Show tomorrow, in all likelihood (unfortunately)…….

    EDIT: Back to TT’s Show MONDAY. I hate(???) weekends!

    Gotta admit, Dru definitely has the curves. And Nat, watch where you’re placing your left hand!

    9CL: So S.Stevens has a sense of humor also.

    Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

    Not only are there expansions and revisions in Nat’s dialogue with Dru, but also there is a most significant addition to his monologue! Has Drusilla been preemptorily summoned back to the Game?

    Perhaps we will learn where she has gone Monday, but I’m more conditioned by now to expect another zig or zag before we return to the Game….

    “and then she was gone…” … hmmmm…. Apparently Dru has accomplished whatever she figures will be necessary to take care of things … or something. But to agree with Risitas … probably back to Tom T. next strip …

    “And then she was gone.” Gone? Gone where? Where? WHERE?!?

    Da-rned cliffhangers.

    ALL - 9CWL questions.

    In the early strips there was another white cat with a black spot around one eye, and also a smaller dog, not the greyhound whassisname. I remember this cat introducing Solange to his best friend, the dog (Rupert?).

    Whatever happened to them? There used to be some witty conversation between them on both the animal and the human conditions. I don’t remember an end for them. I’d like to see them again.

    For that matter, I’m glad to hear Fleurrie has joined the crowd in the other pond. Mr. M,. if you are reading, more Fleurrie please….and will we ever see Sven?

    @DonTomasoAquino Re: 9CL animals
    Rudyard the whippet, Divot the greyhound, and Ambrose the cat.

    @KalahariNight I want to add my condolences. Just do the best you can.

    UncaAlby said, 4 months ago

    Well – she said she didn’t have much time before she’d be called back – right?

    So I guess ol’ Tom caught up with her and yanked her back into the game’s Penalty Box.

    Poor Nat! She vanished just as he was getting into a rhythm….

    Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

    DonTomasoAquino, the cats and dogs are also listed on The Old Wolf’s 9CWL Tribute Page, to which you can link through his Pib page, listed in the boilerplate.

    @Ladywolf17 wha- … huh? That sounds unpleasant. If it has to be so, then … then… channel it.
    Take everything you feel and put it into a short story.
    The writings that I’ve made under extreme emotional duress is… always amazing to read later on, (if sometimes a little painful too.)

    ladywolf17: Once again, I saw what you wrote, and it was no big deal.

  20. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    Anyone here think I was too hard on ladywolf17. I can understand if your upset that tonight and tomorrow she will not be permitted to tell her stories to anyone here. Give me an earful if you must, but my mind is made up.

  21. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    Marg don’t comment. I made her come here to explain why she can’t tell any stories tonight and tomorrow. My kid a drama queen SHEEZE!

  22. Margueritem

    MargueritemGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    wolfbyte36: Yes, I think that you were. She was just being a kid.
    I’m a bit concerned that she built this up into something that it was not.

  23. Don Tomaso

    Don Tomaso said, 4 months ago

    @ CoBass

    Yeh! That’s right! What you said! Was there ever a story where Ambrose and Rudyard stepped onto the rainbow (I don’t remember one) or did they just disappear from the strip?

    Another question. Didn’t Juliette briefly have a black cat after Solange moved tot he city with Edda?

  24. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    Sorry for snapping like that I’m sure you can understand that being a single parent of a teenager is hard work, I am open for any advice that anyone here can give me, Yes Marg even yours

  25. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    I will read the comments tomorrow.

    In the mean time looks like Dru just getting one last kiss before going back to hell and Tom T.

    wolfbyte36: I’m the only one here who knows what you’re talking about….
    As to the drama, she comes by it honestly.

    I suggest that we not trouble these good people any further.

    @wolfbyte36
    Being the mom to a grown daughter, Marg might be more help than you think. An off forum discussion would be in order in the event the topic gets deep. Margueritem has had good words in dealing with misunderstandings and online chafing in these funny papers in the past.

    Not a parent myself but I suspect that being a single parent of* *the opposite sex presents it’s own special dilemmas.

    Add my condolenses as well on your loss.

  30. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 4 months ago

    Actually, wolfbyte36, Margueritem, ladywolf17, I went back and skimmed through all 357 posts at yesterday’s Big Top just to see what this was all about….

    First principle: wolfbyte36 is Dad, and his words are final.

    That said, I do think the stuff was overblown by ladywolf17.

    For what it’s worth, however, I think it is a good idea for a young lady to learn that it is definitely not a good idea to flirt with strangers on the ‘net, no matter how friendly they seem. Sad truth is, you can’t be sure! (Apologies to Mr. Spock; just making a point here).

    That’s my free advice, for what free advice is worth….

  31. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    I agree Marg, I’m just taking precaution. I want her to be safe. So I’ll have another talk with her in the morning. And decide whether or not to lift her grounding punishment.

  32. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    Good night all.

  33. Gweedo Murray

    Gweedo Murray said, 4 months ago

    Take Joe’s condolences Kalahari while he has the strength to give them. As he clearly, but not in exact words, stated near the end of last night’s posts, Joe is a nothingatarian. At the current rate of reserves consumption I don’t reckon t’ see Joe come Monday.

    You have my condolences too sweetie.

  34. Margueritem

    MargueritemGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    As Sisyphos said, you are the father. But a parent has the right to change his/her mind without losing face, and even gain more respect in the eyes of the child.

  35. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    I think the best course for me is to monitor every thing that my daughter posts so that I’ll know whats going on. At lease until she can prove that she can handle it the right way.

  36. wolfbyte36

    wolfbyte36 said, 4 months ago

    You been A big help Marg, I think I can handle it now.

  37. Joe Minotaur

    Joe Minotaur said, 4 months ago

    That’s right Gweedo. I waisting away. At the current rate, it should take about 28 years.

    What a way to start a weekend!
    If this were a musical, I’d feel a song cue coming on…
    Hmmm…that’s odd. This *isn’t * a musical, but I feel a song cue coming on anyway…

    ♫ “*Some sunny day-hay baby
    When everything seems okay, baby
    You’ll wake up and find out you’re alone
    Cause I’ll be gone
    Gone, gone, gone really gone…*” ♫

    Written and first performed by the Everly Brothers…but, truth to tell, I prefer the cover by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

    As several have already commented, it’s probable that Dru has been jerked back to the tender mercies of Tom T. and the godawful game show…but the true Friday cliffhanger is…

    WHAT PARTICULAR PIECE OF SAVAGELY SATIRICAL HIDEOUS HILARITY IS GOING TO OCCUR WHEN SHE GETS THERE?

    In some ways, this may be worse than the Weekend With Sweaty Betty. At least with Sweaty Betty there was no uncertainty…

    Am I good or Am I evil! I shall let you decide on that issue.

    All those in favor of making me a good wraith say aye.

    All those who oppose say neigh.

  42. darkwraith

    I shall count the votes later.

    @Joe Minotaur I have friends that are vegetarian and vegan. It’s the humanitarians I am worried about.

  46. waycyber

    waycyberGenius_badge said, 4 months ago

    @darkwraith I don’t like to get too public about faith issues on this site, but, since you asked.

    Evil is when you put your own wants, desires, ambitions over the needs of other people. Evil is selfish, self-centred, manipulative, greedy, vindictive, spiteful, hateful. prejudiced.

    Good is when you put the needs of other people over your own wants, desires and ambitions. Good is loving, kind, servant-hearted, merciful, forgiving, encouraging, generous.

  47. darkwraith

    darkwraith said, 4 months ago

    So is that an aye, or an neigh, Phaze58.

  48. darkwraith

    darkwraith said, 4 months ago

    So I take waycyber, sounds to me like you say aye.

    Wow, that’s quite the motivational ‘wake up’ kiss to put our detective back on track. If Dru was pulled back to the game in all certainty our shamus won’t be far behind. XX
