He needs his period of mourning….
I want to see what action he will take to avenge her. I’m still hoping that he takes on Tom the Terrible.

Pib Drusilla is still dead… and a Demon truly loved her.

Pfaugh. Stupid asynchronous servers. Well, I was first on the page for 30 seconds, anyway.
John Pelt said, about 1 month ago

Well, based on what we’ve learned so far about the demon-spawning trap waiting within her, she would be his mother from his standpoint… not as sympathetic looking as her duaghter was, but still…

re: Afternoonhandyman
“The “Three Sisters” link was quite interesting - positively perforated with pyroclastic polyhedrons. Especially the ear-shaped formation almost due east.”

I never noticed that flow that looks like the ear canal plus ear west of Broken Top. Good eye.

Rock Mesa has the distinction of having dacitic pumice, rather than the usual composition. Don’t know if they still mine it there, but they used to.

Drusilla shall remain dead, at least all weekend, whilst the Big Guy weeps softly over her. Is he Nat transformed? Or an Elder Demon friendly to Dru? Or the Big Bad himself?

I pity the man, or demon, who gets in his way when he seeks retribution!

Brise de le Fay?

{edited for spelling}
The Old Wolf said, about 1 month ago

I… I killed them. I killed them all. They’re dead, every single one of them… Not just the men, but the women and the children too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals… I hate them!

Why does this dialog echo in my brain at this point?

I recall Dru “resurrected” or rather restored herself by biting Oognat, whom she had earlier set up for just such a contingecy… maybe the demon is about to get bitten this time?
The Old Wolf said, about 1 month ago
Well, time to climb the wooden hill. For the late-night chatters, I leave a crockpot full of Tamale Dip, which is more addictive than clear-quill Thionite and just about as destructive:

Melt:
1 lb. (4 cups) Velveeta cheese

Add:
- 2 cans (about 1½ C) Ro-tel tomatoes (or equivalent brand) while cheese is melting
- 1 large or 2 small cans of chili con carne (without beans)
- 1 large can of tamales - remove wrappers and mash with a fork. (Remove the large pieces of orange-colored fat first)
- A dash of Worcestershire sauce
- A dash of garlic salt
- 2-3 Tbsp chili powder (to taste)
Serve warm, with your favorite chips.

Somehow I still think this is Nat. We’ve never seen his demon form, remember?

Of course, it also might be the one and only demon dandylion that has a shred of feeling for his “mother”.
Afternoonhandyman said, about 1 month ago

The Old Wolf MM-MM-Good! Who needs chips? That sounds like a good enchillada filling as well.

MAXIE

By ladywolf17

Part Three - Animal Control

Maxie lay her head down on the dead body of the old man. She bared her fangs and growled every time someone made any attempt to get close to her and the old man. The paramedics had no choice but to call animal control.

Within minutes animal control arrived. A well built man got out a long pole with a noose at the end of it. Maxie was in no mood to be fooling around with this stranger. She fought off this stranger the best she could, but in the end she was beaten and put into the back of the truck. As the animal control truck began to take off, all Maxie could do was lay down and whimper.

As the truck made its way closer to the animal shelter, Maxie began to form a plan. She knew that she had to be fast and tricky if she didn’t want to be caught in that long pole and it’s noose again.

As the truck pulled into the animal shelter, Maxie was ready. The man got out of his truck and retrieved his pole. then he made his way to the back and opened up the door. As he opened up the cage door that held Maxie captive, he got an unsuspecting surprise. Maxie lunged at him and grabbed the arm that held the pole.

As the man dropped his pole, Maxie made a break for freedom. The man and his pole immediately gave chase. Maxie would not be defeated this time. She was determined to get away. She ran into the nearest alleyway and discovered a six foot chain link fence. It was a dead end. She tried to back up, only to see the man and his pole coming.

With a running start she made a successful leap over the fence. She had beaten the man and was free once again. There was however a problem. She was cut and bleeding. She limped her way to a riverbank and went into the water to sooth her sore paw. “What a beautiful dog you are?” A voice from behind Maxie said.

Maxie turned around to see that the voice belonged to a young woman. “You poor dog let me see if I can fix up your paw.” The young woman said as she fetched her purse. The young woman was a veterinarian and in no time she had Maxie’s paw cleaned and bandaged. She then gave Maxie a treat and went on her way. With the ordeal over, Maxie went over to an oak tree, to lie down and went to sleep.

Touching! but sad.

See you all Sunday, Hopefully.
Fly Guy said, about 1 month ago

She appears to be not only merely dead, but sincerely dead.

Maybe the Honorable Master has a reason to eliminate Dru.

After all, she did seem to take over the strip from Pib a decade
ago. Could it really be curtains for Dru?
Nabuquduriuzhur said, about 1 month ago

Ladywolf, that story reminded me of a story my dad told recently from when he worked on the Whitman National Forest. A sheep herder who had an allotment on the forest had died and when they found him, he was surrounded by dog biscuits. As they watched, his dog came back with more and dropped them off. His poor dog didn’t know how to deal with his master not waking up, so he kept bringing him food.

Why does this dialog echo in my brain at this point?

Because maybe your brain is like a huge empty space where any sort of nonsense echoes around inside?

Ladywolf very touching… and keeps the reader asking “Will Maxie never find a family?”

With or without onions?
Nabuquduriuzhur said, about 1 month ago

Good question. That was before designer dog biscuits…

The dog in this case knew something was up with his buddy, but didn’t know what. It’s interesting that he tumbled to the idea that maybe he needed food. People really don’t deserve the loyalty dogs give, when it comes down to it.
UncaAlby said, about 1 month ago

I don’t know whether or not Big Red here is Nat in his “true form”, but whatever he is, he is surely breaking several of the Rules for Being a Demon.

You’re not supposed to have any sort love for anybody when you’re a demon. This is why Dru keeps getting in trouble with Big Tom. She keeps falling in love.
The Old Wolf said, about 1 month ago

@Afternoonhandyman With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant!
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

Big Bad’s attitude puts me in mind of the Charles Bronson Death Wish series, or of a good old Clint Eastwood moment. He will be taking care of business once he has mourned…. Eventually, Dru will be resuscitated, I believe, but I think she’ll remain dead for a few more days.
macFicheallaigh said, about 1 month ago

Dru looks so small and powerless in this demon’s arms, not the Dru we know who was always larger than demonic life.

Who is he? What is he mourning? He must know her.

@Nab Mmm, Liver.

Best Ever Liver and Onions

1 lb. beef liver, cut about ½ inch thick.
1 Tbsp. salad oil
2 medium onions, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. dry sherry
Dash ground ginger
2 C. hot cooked rice

About 30 minutes before serving:

On cutting board, cut liver cross-wise into ½-inch strips.
In 12” skillet over medium-high heat in hot salad oil, cook liver about 3 minutes or until light brown, stirring frequently.

Add onions and next 5 ingredients. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 10 minutes or until onions are tender-crisp and liver is tender, stirring occasionally.

Serve liver with rice. Makes 4 servings, about 210 calories per serving.

Actually, I don’t so much mind liver, but given the choice of other meats, I prefer them. Although that recipe would definitely change the flavor.

mjolnir 9 said, about 1 month ago

The (apparent) current situation:
The major character of this graphic novel, who happens to be the focus of this story-arc (up until now, anyway) is dead.
The other two major characters are lying about, butt over teakettle, being ineffectual (and also rather unlikable, to be honest about it).
The plot surprise from left field - Satori and the Eggs (wouldn’t that make a helluva band name?) - is, for all practical purposes, still out in the field, somewhere to the left of New York City.
New York City itself is a volcanic caldera, following a Plinian Eruption; the body-count could be eight million (including Sweaty Betty).
Uncountable numbers of demons have been set loose - to perform acts of unnamable depravity (so I’d better not name them) upon innocent (and even not-so-innocent) bystanders.
We have this entire weekend to ponder these matters in our hearts, while staring at five frames of Drusilla’s naked corpse (well, that’s what I’m staring at).
In brief, we have - as they say in the addiction biz - ‘hit bottom’.
I therefore fearlessly predict that, as of Monday, things should start looking up! The Good Guys - once it’s sorted out to whom, exactly, that title might happen to refer - should start fighting back! It’s always darkest…just before the dawn! Grey skies should start to clear up; we can put on a happy face! Someday, there’ll be a town here (again), Tessie!

And now I must away, heeding the chidings of KalahariNight, to see if I can locate any suitably decadent vegetable recipes for this weekend’s Symbolic Snacks…

Meanwhile, relentlessly single-minded, like the Big Guy, or old Clint (to whom I linked above)…I pause a second to admit that Dirty Harry’s formidable .44 Magnum has been somewhat eclipsed in the Big Hitter category by the Desert Eagle .50….
And now, back to our feature….
Maark30 said, about 1 month ago

There is still one point that is being forgotten. There was, for a brief moment, a link between Satori and Dru. Im guessing that Dru used Satori to store a back up of herself(going with the computer origin of Satori that is) Maybe we are looking at a deal where Dru wins this battle and Satori can exist in the “real” world.

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.
