Other comics, while waiting::

Wapsi Square - Now that sounds ominous.

Luann - not my idea of “nice”, either.

Of course, my idea of “nice” might likely include the Ramones or Dropkick Murphys, so…

Funky - “…and the big man says ‘Push on’…” (Well, since Harry Dinkle retired, that’d be “…the one-armed woman…”

Giselle may be a little late on this subject - last i heard the dolls she’s on about were being taken out of production pursuant to a court decision/order.

Gunnerkrigg Court - Annie jerks Reynardine’s chain.

Menage a 3 - probably NSFW.

Striptease - you don’t need to know anything about the strip - what’s wrong with this comic?

Yesterday’s xkcd - no comment needed.

AND

From “Today”:

Look who doesn’t have funny-looking ears!

She’s BACK!
Fairportfan2 said, about 1 month ago

Okay, they’re back in some digital realm?
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

Satori 3.0 has human ears, as Fairportfan2 observed; but Roger has seemingly byooped himself and her into a digital landscape-space….

They look like they’re in a digital world.

I was still here anyway, so I put this up.

Boyoyoying!

…And the Sketch annotations confirm that Roger’s byoop then pixelates them….
BikeNBoatN said, about 1 month ago

HM can make female characters with big, roman noses and wild unruly pink hair look stunningly beautiful.

9CL: What did he say?
Willhelm said, about 1 month ago

That’s the real Satori rebooted, this time without Drusilla’s stored essence. I bet Roger made a copy of the file when it had all that white mojo stored from Drusilla and then hacked it to combine that with saved versions of Satori and Drusilla.
waycyber said, about 1 month ago

By the calculations of Archbishop Usher…

Happy 6013th Birthday, Universe!

;-)
BikeNBoatN said, about 1 month ago

Roger looks like his misplaced handheld computer in panel 6 of the sketch magically reappeared in his hand in the final.
waycyber said, about 1 month ago

Whatja think? New star becomes Dru?
macFicheallaigh said, about 1 month ago

So Satori can be called up in the digital world, shut down, called up again, yet, she seems to have a persistence of memory. And how did Riger figure out how to digitalize himself into Satori’s world without the use of a monitor? He’s more than hacked Spinky’s program, he’s surpassed it.

The ears … that could mean a lot of things …
AliKzam said, about 1 month ago

I am confused.
Doesn’t panel 1 make you think of Isis? Or something Egyptian?
waycyber said, about 1 month ago

@macFicheallaigh The handheld computer must have a monitor.
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

You’re so right, BikeNBoatN; who’d have thought that unruly pink hair and its owner could be so stunningly attractive?
Fairportfan2 said, about 1 month ago

I really think we’ve got the first of the characters who will populate the next adventure…

To heck with the Archbishop of Usher (and the Universe, for that matter):

Happy Birthday to Dory Previn!

And, uh, to me…
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

Could be so, Fairportfan2; but, jeepers, shouldn”t we clean up this arc first? –Or will Honorable Master let some characters dangle (e.g., Dru), without letting them be restored until after the next adventure?
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

Happy birthday, old Fairportfan2!

Thermo Nuclear Dandelion dissipates –

HEY HER EARS ARE BACK TO NORMAL!!
Phaze58 said, about 1 month ago

That’s AMAZING . I wish I could do that to my G/F OWWWWW sorry dear ..erm I wish I hadn’t said that. . I wonder if you can get an app for that ..Hmmm

Anyway I am looking forward to having Satori as a new character she’s nice but not a patch on Dru or Pib.
Still at least Roger has found the LOHL just got to worry about his sister now oh and Igor !
ejcapulet said, about 1 month ago

He kept a backup copy of her??? That’s so sweet!
AmriloJim said, about 1 month ago

AmriloJim said, about 3 hours ago,

Kindly recall when Satori first saw the volcano, she stated, “I do know where it came from.”

At that point, she had learned of her digital heritage and the possibility of being remastered (unlike Thorax).

I submit that using the lore which allowed her to recognize the volcano, Satori collaborated with Roger to modify her matrix to act as a conduit to puree the demon pups and evacuate them from the 77th & Park area.

Hey, I got one right!
Fairportfan2 said, about 1 month ago

UncaAlby said

HEY HER EARS ARE BACK TO NORMAL!!

Actually, we don’t know what’s “normal” in terms of Satori’s ears - we never saw them before the Big Revelation a few weeks ago.

Question:

Had Brooke missed one or more strips since this adventure began?

If not, i’m going to have to go back, find out where i’ve missed one, and then reconfigure my PDF “book” of this arc.
Sisyphos said, about 1 month ago

Not to rain on this parade or anything, but Roger has somewhat selfishly, it seems, provided for Satori and himself, while leaving all the others to fend as best they may on their own….
Fairportfan2 said, about 1 month ago

Looking back at the wedding sequence (on my way to check out the Thorax strip), i see at least one (and possibly three) guests who should have burst into flame upon attempting to enter the church.

Also, is one of the guests Mary - which would make sense, since she was almost as close to Sister Aramus as was Edda?

But it she were at the wedding, she should have known all about Seth and Edda USW.

And, ooo, boy - Burkhardt had to sit next to Gran!?!
GorgoloChick said, about 1 month ago

Nah, Honorable Master ain’t done yet, my friends. This is just a pause for those two to celebrate a successful plan. I’d say they formulated it off-screen right after Satori said she knew what caused the volcano. Tomorrow the adventure goes into the REAL final act.

Unless I’m confused.
DreamScourge said, about 1 month ago

Succinct succubi! Will that ball of plasma at the top of the standing wave turn out to be the beginings of a reborn and possibly ‘more’ awesome Drusilla?
AmriloJim said, about 1 month ago

Fairportfan, this is week 32 of this arc and today’s panel is #158. (Count will be off by one because arc began on a Tuesday.)

Not bad. Not exactly “birthday” flavored but it tastes good.

.
If two of those guests were A & E, I believe the Francis and Diane wedding took place before Brussels.
AmriloJim said, about 1 month ago

Fairportfan, I just checked my files… July 29 is not an arc panel.

And yes, Francis & Diane’s wedding was 10/25/07… The Forrestier Competition arc started 10/20/08.
Gweedo Murray said, 29 days ago

I need an appointment with Dr. Tofu to fix my dangling, dilapidated eye balls. He came close to hooking up with Kasumi, after, an extended session of catching up with Ranma 1/2 stories on Joe’s blog site. Thanks for the jog in yesterday’s comments Joe. Been puttin’ those bad boys off for too long. Having read the entire series online really helps with the imaging. They’re funny, gripping and sometimes heart rending as the originally authored material.

Nabuquduriuzhur said: “Oregon jokes would really be appropriate. ”

A Texan, a Californian and an Oregonian walk into a bar. The Texan orders a bottle of tequila, the Californian orders a bottle of wine and the Oregonian orders a bottle of beer.

The Texan takes one drink of the tequila, then throws the bottle in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots it in med air. The shocked bartender asks him why he did that.

“Where I come from, there’s tequila all over the place. It’s no big deal.”

The Californian takes one swig off the wine, throws the bottle in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots it. The bartender asks him why he did such thing.

“Where I come from, there’s wine all over the place. It’s no big deal.”

The Oregonian drinks the bottle of beer all the way down, then throws the empty bottle into the air. While it is still airborne, he pulls out a gun, shoots the Californian, catches the beer bottle and sets it on the bar. The stunned bartender asks him why he did that.

“Where I come from, there are Californians all over the place. It’s no big deal, but I really think we should recycle that bottle.”

Nah - Dru and possibly Pib and Oognat (depending on exactly what view of the fay you take).

Agreed, but I doubt all the loose ends can be summed up in one panel.

… and what about Igor???

Ah! It is soooooo good to be right about all this. Mind you, I always figured out whodunnit in Murder She Wrote by the end of act 1 as well…..

Wilog Does Tschuktscha=Chukchi? They are a group named in Fillingham Coxwell’s book on Siberian folktales

Yes. I prefer to use the BGN/PCGN and the ALA-LC standards when transliterating Russian, as it gets closer to the pronunciation than the “standard” US transliteration gets. I want you guys to say it right.

Palin admitted on a BBC interview that it is ghost-written. She claimed she got the best ghost-writer around, and then named several inconsequential books this person had ghost-written.

Pibgorn and the Poltergeist in the Piano

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.
