Today’s 9 Chickweed Lane

Pib: Never fear….Drusilla’s near! So both Roger and Satori were supercharged. No wonder they were able to do what they did. Wotta cliffhanger!!

Hey, wait a minute….so that one white fuzzy spore became Dru? So even though she’s a demon, she’s a white demon?

9CWL: Yay, we’re back to A & E. Amos–much more than meets the eye…

edit: 10/23/09 6pm PDT re-activated links.
Sisyphos said, 29 days ago

Roger and Satori may be all used up, magically speaking, but Drusilla is renewed!
MissNaomi385 said, 29 days ago

And the dead shall rise again.
pibfan868 said, 29 days ago

Whoa, didn’t see that coming in either case–and love them both!
fatuncle said, 29 days ago

And Dru still has her enhanced, glossy hide …

Here’s hoping she can swim.
Sisyphos said, 29 days ago

White Sparklies descend the dark Deep, and a restored Lady of the Lake (–well, Ocean) arises! O, demon Nereid!
Sisyphos said, 29 days ago

Is drippy Dru in the South Indian Ocean now?
wolfbyte36 said, 29 days ago

Now this is what you call a cliffhanger.

Damm your gassy hide !

EDIT: Not that you got there with it first.. It just sounded dancerific, poetically good to say that.
Sisyphos said, 29 days ago

Are mojo-less Roger and Satori confined to Virtual Reality?
invisifan said, 29 days ago

Not sure where Roger & Satori are though — and if they’re both out of mojo can they get back?
wolfbyte36 said, 29 days ago

Now that Dru is back, what kind of mood will she be in?
UncaAlby said, 29 days ago

OK* looks like Dru is back – I wonder what *Tom T’s** reaction to all this is gonna be!
MurphyHerself said, 29 days ago

Roger had mojo??
UncaAlby said, 29 days ago

Not sure where Roger & Satori are though — and if they’re both out of mojo can they get back?

They may not want to go back!
wolfbyte36 said, 29 days ago

Roger has Satori with him and he is away from his sister. So right now I don’t think he cares about coming back at the moment.

Dru arises, you can’t keep a good sccubus down for long.

Sure you can!

She was down for weeks!

What happened to the frozen wave out in the Atlantic that makes Tsumamis look small?
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 29 days ago

Re “wolfbyte36 said, 2 minutes ago

Dru will be in the mood to KILL a certain smoke cloud that used to have a bay window smile.
UncaAlby said, 29 days ago

@fatuncle said, 6 minutes ago

Here’s hoping [Dru] can swim.

No worries, she can fly!
Saskfan said, 29 days ago

What lovely curves; those gorgeous red speckles… What a perfect forearm. And the blue tunic’s got some lovely stuffing, too.
UncaAlby said, 29 days ago

So –

Spitcock had hidden his mojo in Satori. That should explain the demon-staghorn ears she once sported.

When she blew it all off, her ears returned to “normal.”

I’m startin’ t’ get it, I’m startin’ t’ get it!
Fly Guy said, 29 days ago

Two weeks for an 800 year old succubus is not long.

Raw animal energy?

Fleshly beast?

Amos?

Naaaaah.
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 29 days ago

Once more, Spitcock’s Mohorovičic Discontinuity comes into play…
BikeNBoatN said, 29 days ago

I love the detail and emotion HM can convey in Dru’s fingers and uplifted hand. And, just easily, how he can economize other drawings by rendering non-important hand details as mere two-digit “lobster claws.”
mjolnir 9 said, 29 days ago

Begod, she revives, see how she rises,
Drusilla risin’ from the deep…

I do believe she may not be still dead!
UncaAlby said, 29 days ago

So, who has a recipe for lobster?
Saskfan said, 29 days ago

Vrus: The boilerplate is a standard feature here. I usually just skim past it, because it doesn’t contain much that you’d want to read every day.

On the other hand, when you want to do something with formatting, or need a reference from Pibgorn, the boilerplate is priceless.

it’s the map in the glove compartment; you won’t need it for months, but when it’s not there, you’ll realize how useful it is.

fear-ciuil: I salute your efforts. Please, join me in a dance? But not a tango, dear, as it would end up looking like this.

(Edit: and it would be all my fault; I’m sure you’re a wonderful dancer.)

Amrilo You are a public benefactor and a menace. You have made the archives so accessible that I go to chase down a cited reference and emerge blinking like an owl in daylight. It’s unfair to blame you for my own lack of self-discipine, but dammit man you’re feeding my addictions big-time…thanks.

Every time i run across a comment like that, i think of this XKCD strip
invisifan said, 29 days ago

UncaAlby said, 18 minutes ago

They may not want to go back!

If that’s Suzerain … it’s Gone With the Mojo-wind … I think pretty soon they’re going to want to go somewhere!
gimmickgenius said, 29 days ago

But – did Nat survive the demon debacle???
AmriloJim said, 29 days ago

Hey! I resemble those remarks!

eschmenk said

@KalahariNight You are welcome. Did you notice that if you click on the strip in the blog you can see a nice 1600px × 533px JPEG version of it? I can’t tell you how to get it printed, but you can at least stare at it on your screen.

Well, you can then right-clck that and save it to your computer, and then you’re on your own from there as to printing it…

MoonsingerFan said

Happy anniversary to thevenbede and husband!
And many more to you!

Likeswises. (If my first marriage had lasted, this past July would have been our thirty-second anniversary. As it is, It was Kate’s and my tenth just … some day … recently.)

Saskfan said

Someone wanted idea for halloween cooking: Lady fingers were popular for one of my coworkers. She make a sugar cookie in the shape of a finger, and put a slive of almond on the end for a fingernail. She’d dye the “nail” with red food colouring.

Served with eyes cream, right?

fear-ciuil said, about 2 hours ago

…couldn’t get onto the site today. Nannyware insisted there was “alcohol and tobacco content,” and I only got home an hour ago.

???

“Sexual content”, yeah, i can see. “Alcohol and tobacco”?

Chickweed ~ I’d rather have half a stack of quarters.

Mmmmayyybe.

Where was Amos carrying the pb&j and where was he carrying the quarters?

And now for “today”:

So Roger was able to tweak the parameters inside “Suzerain” because he had some acquired mojo?

Does this mean Lena is going to have to waitten or twelve years to grow her own improvements, instead of Roger being able to occasionally morph her (and himself) into more … Interesting … forms to play in?

Well, so long as she can get to the surface, she can fly…
WOLFBYTE said, 29 days ago

I couldn’t take it anymore. Dear God please forgive me for falling to the temptation of that horrible survey. Now I’m stuck with a Genius badge for three months. I guess I might as well make the most of it.
ejcapulet said, 29 days ago

I hope this means Dru is about to play “Tom the Teeth” kickball.

Ahhh. “Excelsior”. (In todays 9CWL). I wonder how many people got the joke when they named a Battleship in Star Trek III after wood shavings used in packing.

bmonk said: “@wilorg–or anyone else, for that matter–have we ever considered a small theatre or auditorium to put on our own plays near the Couch?”

Well, we do have a small stage near the fireplace where there was once a jazz group playing, but when they “took five,” the squirrels stole their instruments and, finding a wee bit of reefer in the guitar case, they proceeded to be the in-house jazz band. The original musicians never came back from their break..apparently the “scene” was to weird for them…
