Today’s 9 Chickweed Lane

Pib: Ah-Ha! So Satori and Dru did exchange sword-wielding secrets. Does this mean Dru’s now in charge of this dream, as opposed to earlier with Nat when it seemed neither was in charge? And is this one of the few times we’ve seen TT with his mouth closed?

9CWL: In contrast, Juliette can’t seem to keep her mouth closed.

Edit: Re-pasted to see if see if the links stay active this time.

I do so hope that she lops his head off, but I fear that this is not yet the end…

one? no way!

(three! I knew it was too good to be true!)

Looks like Dru won sets up a card swipe deal on the gate to the security perimeter surrounding my cushion I’m done, me, and my cushion, are safe.
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

The final panel reminds me of the last scene in the great vampire TV series, Forever Knight, where the last thing we see is Lucien LaCroix about to accede to his “son” Nick Knight’s despairing call for surcease….
MurphyHerself said, 22 days ago

You go, Dru!!
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

love, it love it, love it. Dru! you go girl.
Tabicantra said, 22 days ago

OKAY!!!!
Now THAT’S a clifhanger I can grab onto!!!
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

What a twist! So, Dru controls the dream (or, at least this part of it)! Bye bye, Tommy!
UncaAlby said, 22 days ago

Check out “Baby Blues”

This reminds me of when I installed “baby-proof” latches on the doors under the sink, and my son had figured out how to open the thing before I had my tools put away!

At the day-care center, there was a “baby-proof” latch on the gate to the parent side of the building, and there was always a parent who had trouble opening it, until my son went over and helped them. He had the thing down.

Am I bragging on my genius kids again? (blush!) Sorry!
KalahariNight said, 22 days ago

Awwww… this isn’t fair. Tom looks almost appealing in Panel 1 without his toofums showing.

mroberts88, I replied to your post “yesterday,” right before the shift change.
fatuncle said, 22 days ago

HAH! Loverly twist, that.
The Old Wolf said, 22 days ago

@UncaAlby My son at 22 months could get my keys, climb up on my lap, and start my car… Scary skillset! I think most kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

BikeNBoatN, I, too, was thinking how rarely before, if ever, we’ve seen TomT with his mouth closed. He looks almost like a normal guy, maybe even evokes a tiny droplet of sympathy, the better to make us feel the impact of the katana as wielded by Drusilla….
BikeNBoatN said, 22 days ago

Ok. Found the date. Here is when neither Dru nor Nat were in charge of their dreams.

Obviously, from today’s strip, though, Dru is back in the driver’s seat.
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

Those bright lights of the lowlife will soon be extinguished.
Joseph Houk said, 22 days ago

Goodnight, Gracie.
The Old Wolf said, 22 days ago

9CWL Close your mouth, Juliette, we are not a codfish.

Pib Perfect cliffhanger. Tom has all weekend to contemplate that descending blade. I was put in mind of this:

”I now observed–with what horror it is needless to say–that its nether extremity was formed of a crescent of glittering steel, about a foot in length from horn to horn; the horns upward, and the under edge evidently as keen as that of a razor. Like a razor also, it seemed massy and heavy, tapering from the edge into a solid and broad structure above. It was appended to a weighty rod of brass, and the whole hissed as it swung through the air.”
ARF2 said, 22 days ago

Now it’s Tom’s turn to sweat out a cliffhanger. I expect sliced and diced Tommy by Monday.

Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

continuing from yesterdays page:

I have never asked anyone for their E-Mail address. Even though that I believe that I can trust all of you. You never know what troll may be lurking around just looking for an excuse to make your internet experience a living hell. I know what I am talking about for it has happened to me, from someone that I thought was a friend.

Because of this person I have had to change e-mail addresses.
BikeNBoatN said, 22 days ago

Dru sure has an incredible amount of liveliness for someone who’s been “dead” for so long. And some awe-inspiring definition on her lovely, long gams.
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 22 days ago

Nah. McE will find a way for Tom to “survive”, barely. He’s too much fun to mess with.
The Old Wolf said, 22 days ago

@ladywolf17 A-ta-wa-hya

Anything that is done with email addresses would be strictly voluntary, and based on trust. It should probably go without saying that any Couchies under the legal age of Majority would be excluded for general purposes of safety.

I’ve had my own identity stolen, and it took me 5 years to get things cleaned up. So I’m keenly aware of the need for discretion.
Frida B said, 22 days ago

are we sure that Dru doesn’t pinch hit for the Yankee’s? Batter up.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

Can anyone here tell me where this saying or lyric came from:

Turn out the lights, the party’s over.

It went something like that anyways.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

How did Dru end up with Satori”s sword.
UncaAlby said, 22 days ago

This simply cannot be the End of Demons on Earth!

Somebody has gotta interfere – as I’ve said earlier, there is always going to be Evil in the World, and if Dru snuffs out Tommie next week, who is going to fill that very important role?

Maybe Lena could take over – she seems to have the temperament for it –
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

To be sure, BikeNBoatN, Dru is looking well, So well, in fact, that I’ve had to add this page to “(Mostly) Brooke’s Beauties” at my Profile….

GROOOOOAAAANNN!!
Nabuquduriuzhur said, 22 days ago

Ladywolf, a trick I’ve learned with internet security is to have three or four email accounts and use them for different things.

People that I know on a face to face basis I have a friends and family type email, which I almost never give out. Then I have another that I use for internet acquaintances. While most people are honest, there are always that group out there that might not be (and our Oregon law that lets ID thieves have two free passes from jail doesn’t help), so that’s what that second email is for.

The next email is one I keep for any type of business transaction or inquiry, because it tends to get a lot of junk mail (one outfit sells the email to someone else and they sell it to someone else and so on) and one can’t run the spam filters very high and still get the business-related emails one wants to receive, because of the nature of spam filters. (Unfortunately, that means a lot of deleting of junk emails for that third account). So far, I’ve had pretty good luck with doing it this way.

I’ve got a couple of other email accounts, but rarely use them for anything. If one of more secure accounts becomes spammed, I’ll move to one of them.

There are some junk email only services like Mallinator that are for those websites that have no legitimate reason for requiring a signup- the real reason they require an email is to send advertisements- but some sites are wise to that.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

The Old Wolf, It was nothing but hate mail and it happened before I signed up for a Gocomics account.
BikeNBoatN said, 22 days ago

Sisyphos: To be sure, BikeNBoatN, Dru is looking well, So well, in fact, that I’ve had to add this page to “(Mostly) Brooke’s Beauties” at my Profile….

Great selection. But you left out one of my all-time favorites
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

ladywolf17 A-ta-wa-hya, could this be what you’re thinking of? The Party’s Over, by Willie Nelson.
The Old Wolf said, 22 days ago

@UncaAlby Lena already seems to be hankerin’ for the position of apprentice succubus… She’s a natural!
BikeNBoatN said, 22 days ago

Willie Nelson did a rendition. Is this what you were thinking of?
BikeNBoatN said, 22 days ago

Looks like Sisyphos beat me to it (Willie’s link, that is).
Saskfan said, 22 days ago

@Old Wold: That sounds like The Pit and the Pendulum. It has been a long time since I read it.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

The Old Wolf the person that I speak of was once a close, personal family friend that my dad had welcomed in. In the end she was nothing but a thief.

My dad kicked her out for good. about a month later I started getting hate mail from her. I did some backtracking and found out that she is in Salt Lake City, probably trying to scam someone else.
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

Arrrgh! –And, not being a Genius, there’s no way I can add that one now, BikeNBoatN!
Sisyphos said, 22 days ago

Frida B–formerly Frida Bonita?
The Old Wolf said, 22 days ago

Wapsi Square continues its creepy march… very effective drawing by Paul Taylor.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

Thanks for the links guys I believe that that one is it. My great grandmother used to sing it to me when It was time for me to go to bed.

I’m not 100% happy with the typeface, but that said, “Russian is the most wonderful, beautiful language for almost everything, especially making love!”
.
Perhaps Italian is the best language for talking about making love.
.
Here! Here! Sisyphos May all the good ones make the move over here. One less site to finagle around with. The good ones? With all our different tastes, if all the good comics moved here, Brand-x would simply shut down from all the emptiness. Aside from the crappy comments set up and lack of speed, which is at times pretty good, I don’t seem to have all these troubles that folks are laminating about. I always get in without signing. Opens right up to the collection.
.
Congrats for your Mom ToniAnne. Will she be moving in with you or just to the area ?

ToniAnne:

You’re welcome for the link to the High Kings………etc……

They were simply wonderful. Thank you.

Right on ladywolf so on and so forth… !

Dru, finally getting the job done and looking very hot doing it.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

Nabuquduriuzhur, I have three e-mail addresses, one I no longer use.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

9CWL: Ah! A mother and daughter moment. How I envy those two.
Ladywolf17 said, 22 days ago

Well this is where I bid you all a good night, my internet family. Take care of yourselves, and I’ll see you all tomorrow after I get home from school. GOOD NIGHT!
DreamScourge said, 22 days ago

Way to go Dru! I just hope that this isn’t another of Tom’s twisted under-plots, guess I’ll have to tune in next week for the next installment ;)
whardin1960 said, 22 days ago

ladywolf if your great-granny sang it to you then it was probably Willie’s version, and not Tesla’s.

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.
