    As Sisyphos said “yesterday,” major changes from sketch to final today.

  6. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    I guess Honorable Master bethought himself of a more dominant Drusilla!

  7. ejcapulet

    ejcapuletGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    I almost feel sorry for Nat!

  8. KalahariNight

    KalahariNightGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    9CL: The pose of each of their hands echos The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel (except there, of course, the hands meet).

    What wuz he thinkin’? Nat on top!

    Don Tomaso said, 3 months ago

    Lovely posterior view once again.
    Does kind of remind me of Mrs. Peel

  11. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    “Leaping succubi, Shamusman!”

  12. jml58

    Another meeting of minds.

  13. Mattimeomeg

    MattimeomegGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    I’m beginning to think that Dru is delirious. These mind “merges” don’t seem to be progressing as was their previous wont.

  14. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    Nice catch on the 9CWL hands, KalahariNight!

    Girl Genius has updated too:

    UshindiGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    The trouble is, now, a cigarette after a little mind-merging is considered a no-no. Just roll over and go to sleep? (Well, throw out a quick compliment first)

  17. DriverEd

    DriverEd said, 3 months ago

    Oh, I think there will be smoking afterwards.

    mjolnir 9 said, 3 months ago

    This may not be the ‘planned’ Friday cliffhanger…
    But there are far worse ways to spend the weekend.

  19. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    Nat always seems to have ciggies handy. ‘Course, Dru is keeping him kind of busy, with repeated mind-melds and all….

  20. Saskfan

    Saskfan said, 3 months ago

    That’s intellectualism, is it? I’ll have to try that line on my Beloved soon.

    I’m going to miss you lot this weekend; some of us in the Fan household are going off to war. A medieval war, some 600 km from us. and since it’s a long weekend here in Canada, eh?, I probably won’t be back at my accustomed Couch Cushion until Tuesday.

    Turducken, with vegetables (but no corn or potatoes), and bread topped with gold leaf: our special medieval treat for the couch while I’m away.

    Ladywolf, update your biography when YOU feel it necessary, and not a moment before. And I persnoally think you should keep it relatively anonymous in honour of the scum cruising the Interwebs for impressionable victims. But you’ll do as yo see fit, I’m sure. :) Keep writing!

  21. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    Merrie olde combat, Saskfan!

  22. The Old Wolf

    The Old WolfGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    9CWL I feel as though we’re working towards a moment of some significance after a lot of comedy.

    Pib I don’t know whether Nat should shout “Aiee!” or “Ohhhh!”. This strip doesn’t just push the envelope, it drags it kicking and screaming into the next dimension. Delightfully so…

    Merging of the minds… yikes. We all know what they say a guy thinks with, but I’ve never heard… well… um… oh never mind.

    Caribbean Lamb Curry and an asparagus frittata over here for late-night noshing…

    And so good night, and so good night.

  23. zorchon

    zorchon said, 3 months ago

    I love the tension in Dru’s body: right down to the little fingers, poised to…
    er..
    do that thing Succubi do with their little fingers. -grin-

  24. Gweedo Murray

    Gweedo Murray said, 3 months ago

    Well that’s a fine how d’ya do. The Sask goes off and leaves us a bunch of turd(s)ducken, what ever that is.

    ladywolf’s three-parter got sent to an old girl who appreciates stories with happy endings.

  25. SunHawk

    SunHawk said, 3 months ago

    Dru’s version of the Vulcan Mind meld is much more satisfying. What if Spock has used this method ;)

  26. The Old Wolf

    The Old WolfGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Since we enjoy sharing recipes, has this comic ever surfaced here? They have some pretty nice ideas on occasion…

  27. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    That would not be logical, SunHawk. Fun, maybe, but not logical!

  28. Gweedo Murray

    Gweedo Murray said, 3 months ago

    That depends. Would Spock be using this on women, ‘cause the alternative………. well, just outfit the guy in a red shirt already !

  29. SunHawk

    SunHawk said, 3 months ago

    Except maybe in the “Pon-Far” of the seven year itch.

    HIGH RISE TERROR

    Benjamin Grimes was an angry bitter man, though he tried not to show it while working. Twenty three years he worked, building successful mergers with other companies. Stores and other companies were a success all because of his hard work and dedication.

    So where was the promotion that he deserved, the increased bonuses, and a better office with a nice view. He wanted what was rightfully his.

    He couldn’t take it anymore, he was in a bad mood, and to make matters worse, he was also stuck in a messy divorce.

    He stood up pulled out a revolver and opened fired. “Don’t anybody move,or I’ll put a slug in your brain”. Benjamin said as he walked over to his boss Mr. Cheng. “I want a promotion with a higher salary and a better office”. Benjamin demanded. “No”! was Mr. Cheng’s answer.

    Benjamin put a slug into Mr. Cheng’s head and watched him die as the employees screamed in terror all around.
    “Too bad! Looks like I’m in charge now”. Benjamin said with an evil little smirk on his face.

    “Shut up and sit down on the floor”. he yelled pointing the revolver at the employees. Benjamin sat down at Mr. Cheng’s desk and brushed away the name faceplate, then he picked up the phone and called 911.

    He hated phone operators and their B.S. ” Does this sound like a prank lady”? he yelled into the phone receiver and fired off his gun again making the employee’s scream once more. “Now do I have your attention, put your police chief on the phone or I will start killing the hostages one by one”. Benjamin said.

    Police chief Carl Simmons took the phone and answered, “What are your demands”? He wasn’t happy where this was going and signaled his secretary to get the SWAT Team on her phone.

    TO BE CONTINUED

    How about that! a cliff-hanger on a night that’s famous for cliff-hangers.

  31. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, 3 months ago

    Quite a grim scenario, ladywolf17! It will be interesting to see how you resolve this….

    Do we hafta wait all the way ‘til Monday for this with the 10 minute early showing ? Please don’t hurt me.

    When the dialogue and the action are dissonant, there may be irony, or humor, or both…. Or unbridled gongbong hummahumma….

  34. BikeNBoatN

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Dru’s pose looks like when Trinity from “The Matrix” went flying through the air. Right down to the hand gestures.

  35. BikeNBoatN

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    And both Dru and Trinity were wearing black too!

  36. DreamScourge

    DreamScourge said, 3 months ago

    I could have sworn that the way to a mans mind was through the eye socket with a sharp implement, just as the way to his heart is through his stomache (presumably with the same sharp implment), Dru probably knows better tho’ ;)

  37. Ladywolf17

    Ladywolf17 said, 3 months ago

    Don’t worry I won’t leave anyone hanging till monday. There will be more tomorrow night. In the meantime check out Big Top I have posted a little story over there as well.

    Yes I,ve been a busy girl tonight. I need to go to bed now, so I’ll see you all tomorrow. Good night.

    “jeepers” ??

    first “glorioski” then “jeepers”.

    I guess we’re just having a swell time!

  39. Ladywolf17

    Ladywolf17 said, 3 months ago

    On second thought this story is coming out of me because of my anger towards my grandma. So if anybody doesn’t want me to continue the story I will understand and remove it. Of course if you encourage me to ride this anger out, we will see where this story takes us.

    You haven’t seen anything yet Tennessee Charlie. I’m just getting warmed up.

    go for it ladywolf17,I like these ingenious ways Dru has on her quest , I certainly wouldn’t argue with her when she is plummeting towards my crotch like that . :0)

  42. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    A couple of thoughts:

    That doesn’t exactly look like a meeting (or merging) of their minds

    With the missed day, this may not be the cliffhanger Brooke originally planned, but I haven’t heard any complaints yet.

    @Gweedo, turducken is a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a hen. Supposed to be quite tasty, although I’ve never had the privilege.

    And finally, 9CWL: I thought we all stand naked before our God. Apparently Monty and Julia think otherwise.

  43. bmonk

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    And, ladywolf, thanks again for the stories; they’re good!

  44. waycyber

    waycyberGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    @Gweedo In the UK we have something similar to turducken. The Mandelbrowlair.

  45. wannabeaussie

    wannabeaussie said, 3 months ago

    The Old Wolf wondered, “I don’t know whether Nat should shout ‘Aiee!’ or ‘Ohhhh!’.” My response: both.

  46. ThatCat

    ThatCatGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    Mind Merge. And of course the DH had to make the idle comment as he stands looking over my shoulder at today’s offering, “Bet that is nothing like Spock’s Mind Merge….”

    I tried not to snork out loud… I did!

  47. ThatCat

    ThatCatGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    I second that thought wannabeaussie!

    Jeepers
    Eek, when I read Nat’s words I giggled like a little girl.
    That and calling a dame intellectual is as nice (even better) a compliment than commenting on her body.

    Looks like these two are going ‘share the berth’ once more. xx ;)

    Anyol'tomcatGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    bmonk, Isn’t Dru trying to make their Flesh become Words? Besides, didn’t she once say that that’s how she Does Everything. That’s how she persuaded the Demon Lover in the Mozart arc to change his ways.

    Chickweed: Is this a sort of investiture? Will Old Gynophobe finally listen to reason?

    The Gospel of Thomas Saying 113: “Simon Peter said to them, ‘Let Mary leave us, because women are not worthy of life.’
    Jesus said ‘Behold I shall guide her so as to make her male, that she too may become a living spirit like you men. For every woman who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.’”

    Oooh, what a giveaway!

    bmonkGenius_badge said, 3 months ago

    @Anyol’tomcat, yes, but it’s hard to think when her…plumage…is so very visible.
