    Exploding Dru-Satori? She did advise Pib to duck, so there’s hope yet….

    Today’s 9 Chickweed Lane

    Pib: Duck! Satori warns Pib. So, again, just who, or what is Satori? Uh, oh. More spikey balls. Demon spores? But this time they’re white, not black. I’m sure that’s significant. And I like the way she looks in the sketch.

    9CL: Mary, time for a reality check.

    At least Satori is still speaking as she goes off like a sparkler!

    Hard to tell… From panel 1, doesn’t look line Pib got all the way through… but from panel 2, it looks like Satori is in two pieces… sketches aren’t much help, either…

    She gave out a warning to Pib! How come?

    BikeNBoatN, suggestion from the link-protection division. While you still have the boilerplate on your clipboard, edit the post and re-paste the snippet. That way, it should hold in spite of the phantom edit.

    So, Satori is a vessel for something and it’s loose. White is significant, seems to be connected to Dru or part of her. The part left by the demons? Well we have Thursday and then the Cliff Hanger… Maybe Monday?

  11. ♠Lonewolf♠

    ♠Lonewolf♠Genius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    Maybe the Demons are coming out through the slice by PIB!

    OK– we’re back to white dandelion-dust-ball looking things instead of black dandelion-dust-ball looking things.

    Being white instead of black are they gonna hatch angels or fairies instead of demons ???

  13. Fairportfan2

    Fairportfan2Genius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    Apparently Satori knows something we - and Pib - don’t know… (Is this a surprise?)

    Love this - moral/philosophical debates while killing a zombie!

    Chekov’s Bug makes its big - reely big - entrance! (It appears that the Squirrel Grrls’ sensayuma is as perverse as mine, BTW…)

    Monday’s Sunset Grill - “Not an advertisement.”; looking forward to tonight’s.

    Not even going to try to prepare you for this one…

    Not sure if this is cruel or kind…

    Will each half grow back and make a whole girl/demon just like the urban myth about worms?

    AmriloJim Good idea. Boilerplate edited and re-pasted. Now even if “ghosts in the machine” edit it, the formatting and links should still hold.

  17. Sisyphos

    Are white sparklies Good Stuff? Is it Essence of Dru leaking out, to be reconstituted? Or is this a second iteration of new Bad Demons?

    Are the white sparkles going to eat the black sparkles?
    Will Satori ever get it togeither?

    I believe there was an episode of X Files where we got to see a little bit of the Zombies’ point of view.

    They just wanted to find someplace where they could dance, was all.

    Satori/Dru/Dinah/Whoever-the-hell-she-is-now…just got sliced.

    Once upon a time, way back, in a hospital near Park Avenue and 77th St (which, I maintain is Lenox Hill Hospital, where Dashiell Hammett died), they played ‘Operation’…you know, that crazy game for goofy doctors…and Drusilla got sliced.

    That slicing started a volcano (where did that volcano ever go, BTW?)

    This slicing?

    This story-arc is gonna need a heap o’ wrappin’ up…

    First we had the volcanic Dru. Now we have volcanic chopper girl.

  26. Sisyphos

    Or, Nabuquduriuzhur, the anti-volcanic chopper girl!

    Nothing could be finah than to be chopped up like Dinah
    in da mooooaaning…

    Nothing could be sweetah than to be drilled by a repeatah
    in da mooooaaaning.

    Hey, I forgot all about that volcano!

    I thought they couldn’t cut her. Did that FBI guy have a special knife? Maybe the pregnancy started the volcano. Or all that meddling from Tom T.

    Oooh, this is going to be good! I’m betting on a REALLY new and powerful Dru.

    Given Tom’s explanation for how the “lil’ darlin’s” get born, one wonders if the East Coast is covered…

    Then there’s that frozen wave in the Atlantic, too.

    Let us reflect that Dru may not be dead after all

    Here’s something on that:

    The 1920s were the time of standardization!

    World Standards Day

    Good idea!

    I think we need to have about 12,756 kilometers in diameter, 71% water and 29% land, 5.9742 × 10^24 kilograms of mass, and, a few other numbers I’ll think up later, which will henceforth be the Standard for One World.

    Anyone else think Satori in panel 1 slimmed down a bunch transitioning from the sketch to the final?

  40. ejcapulet

    ejcapuletGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    I think Satori knew something bad was happening. Like the old legends about vampires, when someone puts a stake through them, they look relieved.

    GROAN, Nabuquduriuzhur, where do you get them?

  42. AmriloJim

    AmriloJim said, about 1 month ago

    I’m toying with the idea of incorporating a sketch/finished flicker script into the reference site and eliminating the separate fullsize sketch pages… that way, A/B comparisons are online when the artwork updates. Comments?

    Changing jobs the way i did for a while meant that i went through Pace’s solder/desolder certification training three times … and ISO Standards training four times.

    You mean … i’d be out of a job?

    Sounds like a good idea.

    I’d probably keep on making mine, with commentaries, when i feel moved so to do, anyway.

    While only doing a very quick search, I found, other than coatings, only this Taurus revolver and a few of its cousins with actual titanium construction….

    Honestly, you wait ages for a succubus, then several come at once. You see if I’m not right.

  49. BikeNBoatN

    BikeNBoatNGenius_badge said, about 1 month ago

    AmriloJim, sketch/finish flickers

    I like that idea. As long as each one is still downloadable (right-click, save image as) independently. And here’s another thought: Is there a way to not load the sketch till you mouse-over in the interest of having the entire page load faster? If I’m searching for a particular scene, the faster the whole page loads, the sooner I can tell if it contains what I’m looking for, or if I need to go to the next week or not.

    waycyber, I am not sure if thinking of you led me to this, or if seeing this made me think of you. Either way, hop aboard the caravan, careen crazily through the UK!
