    Will Satori wangle her way out of this again?

    Strange, she doesn’t look like Geoff –

    I think Pib and Nat have just made a big mistake.

    It’s a double dose of death for “Satori”! How will she be resurrected? (I’m sure that’s the question!)

    Maybe Nat wants to use demonic bullets to make sure the demon part is dead, and Pib wants to use a non-demonic sword to make sure the non-demon part is dead.

    Nat’s barker spoke four short, staccato insults as Pibgorn reached for the katana. Satori wasn’t looking so good.

  11. UncaAlby

    UncaAlby said, about 1 month ago

    AH HAH!!

    To all you folks what said Satori was gonna deflect the bullets

    nyah nyah nyah! yer WRONG!

    (not that I was right or anything)

    Lordy, yes. Don’t hit a man when he’s down – kick him. Easier on your back.

    I guess Satori had this coming. I was hoping that it wouldn’t be like this, but we shall see what the Honorable Master has in store for us next. Plus what will Rogers reaction be , for he loved Satori.

  14. UncaAlby

    UncaAlby said, about 1 month ago

    I guess all the demon hoards are all beaten. There don’t appear to be anybody (or anything) stepping in to get in the way.

    Hey, Nat’s a demon. Who says he can’t have a demonically-fast trigger finger and squeezed off 4 rounds? :-)

    So, i guess she really is a demon now - if Bustard’s gun can hurt her. (per the Borgia Cantus)

  18. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

    Or, to put it another way, is (was) Satori, Satori–all Satori, all the time? Or is there another Satori (or many) in Roger’s PDA?

    Good idea! I approve. Carry on.

    Raising my head from the far left corner of the back of the couch, I have to ask … doesn’t it seem like Satori’s ‘attack’ on Dinah destroyed a bunch of left-over younguns? Maybe that sword stroke went to the sinuses.

    Reprint (with emendations) from “yesterday”:

    Here’s the video i was looking for - not on YouTube, though.

    From about 1:00 to about 1:10, if that’s not MTM, it’s someone who looks a lot like her.

    And according to a lot of sources, she was on one or other of the shows i named in a previous post…

    Watching her go-go, it hit me that if we could just hook whoever it is up to a generating plant, we’d go a long way toward solving the energy crisis, by golly…

    (Also note Buddy Holly & the Crickets and i-don’t-know-who with the top hats (but it wouldn’t surprise me if it were Freddie and the Dreamers…)

    There’s going to be a lot of dead Satori for Honorable Master and us to work around tomorrow…. How will that task be accomplished?

    9 CwL ~ and to think Edda felt left out because no one talked dirty around her, much less to her. I assume that’s what it was.

    Yes, I was wondering about that. Doesn’t seem too honorable now, does it. Assuming any honor among demons.

  29. Willhelm

    Willhelm said, about 1 month ago

    Notice that Satori is now showing demon fangs as well as the demon ears, and under the blue with a band of red dots her colors are black and red. It really looks like Drusilla is part of Satori.

    Update: Closer view on a better monitor shows that those are Satori’s lower teeth, not fangs. The coloration is still relevant.

  31. mjolnir 9

    mjolnir 9 said, about 1 month ago

    Let us reflect that Drusilla is still dead.
    She was drained by demons.
    She was stabbed by Satori.
    If Satori than absorbed her essence…
    That essence was just shot (with demon-killing bullets) by Nat. One of those bullets looks like it went through her heart.
    I refer you to the words of the old poem:

    “*And when my heart began to bleed,
    ‘Twas death, and death, and death indeed.*”
    (Anonymous)

    That’s pretty dead.

    Pib is now picking up the katana to make another attempt at beheading her…or something drastic like that

    If she succeeds, by tomorrow, Drusilla will be still deader.

    That will be extremely dead.

    Just sayin’…

    Hi,

    the cheeewowwow yawns, stretches and realizes she has been curled up on the bean bag chair by the fire place for most of the summer, yaaaaawn.

    so, much going on. I think I’ll curl back up and wait to see the outcome. Here’s two plates of hot out of the oven toll house cookies, one with nuts and one with out.

    keep up the guess work. : )

  34. Sisyphos

    Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

    Willhelm, I’m pretty sure those are not fangs but rather Satori’s lower teeth that one sees….

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    Hmmmm…..you must see something I don’t. HM draws open mouths with rows of teeth visible that, to me, seem like they’re going up and down rather than fore and aft. That’s his artistic license after all. But I still don’t see fangs or staghorns.

    ”Hey, Nat’s a demon. Who says he can’t have a demonically-fast trigger finger and squeezed off four rounds?”

    I would agree that’s possible.
    But I would also think that the artist would show even the slightest delay in each bullet as it hit the target so as to relay that possibility to the viewer.

    Also a reprint from yesterday -

    Hey Fairportfan2 glad you found it! I see who you’re talking about but I don’t think that’s her, IMHO. She was pushing 30 by this time (‘65? “66) and altho MTM was cute I think the girl in the vid was younger than that.

    Brooke has done that to us before. Here’s Nat giving Tom a rapid-fire ventilating with no real spaces or delay.

    mjolnir9 said Let us reflect that Drusilla is still dead.

    Actually, thinking back, I’m rather amazed how many of the characters have “died”, then come back to life. Dru, Pib, Nat, Satori, Oognat, Roger and Lena have all died at least once; some, several times. I don’t recall Geoff, Maurice or Luciano dying, but their time may be up eventually. Fortunately, death in Pibverse appears to be a temporary condition.
