    Looks like Alice has been awarded the Purple Can Top. Thankfully, she didn’t earn it the same way Americans earn the Purple Heart!

    Thimblefist the Mighty Beakbreaker will wear the Pocket watch of Valor well. As a Pocket Watch devotee, I strongly approve of this award for him.

    I hope we can now see Puck teaching the younglings how to defend the BPH from the leaves! So much good stuff could come from that act.

    With his armour, thimbles, and now the pocket watch, Thimblefist is going to be too weighed down to move.

    @andycat. I also thought of Gracie Allen. I recall reading that Burns originally planned the act with himself as the comedian and Gracie as the feed, but he quickly saw that her dizzy manner got more laughs. So he set ego aside and made her the focus. When they were live, he always checked the draughts on stage so that he could make sure his cigar smoke didn’t blow in her face. That’s a professional.

    Now that the story is winding down and we don’t have any cliffhangers, not as many people are apparently staying up late to get the new comic. But that’s okay. It is nice to see the awards being bestowed.

    Happy Halloween to everyone in the Orb!! It snowed here yesterday in mid-Michigan so the kids, if they go out tonight, will of course be wearing coats over their costumes. Not unusual. We’ve had Halloweens where the kids are in sleeveless costumes as well.

    … I’ve been thinking of their platoon

    And I’ve decided that moles are really not to blame

    For the rage that was deep inside them now is not the same

    … And the holes they dug together

    Was from the prodding of old Wicket in the skies

    He’d been looking down to use them now, they realize

    … We watched Thimble’s fist slowly turning

    Bashing the owl’s beak without delay

    We hope that Wicket is finally learning

    That a life of nasty war crime doesn’t pay

    … Thanks to the heroes, even children

    Making sure everyone lives another day

    And the big smiles they’ve been waiting for are on display

    … When the final award is given

    And it’s certain that the curtain’s gonna fall

    We can all recall the sweet, sweet love

    forever more

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    At the Artisan’s Studio

    Adobe Style: And now our tapestry is complete.

    Puckmosis: I am proud of my descendant’s chart making ability. We have been able to preserve the future for generations to come.

    Sophititi: My next project will be to create a Sun Dial of Valor to honor Iron Glove’s brave descendant.

    Sometime Later

    Thomios: The mole war began when my and Bea’s descendants tried to contact the moles and gift them a cake. The actual recipe is lost in futurity, but we have collaborated on our own cake.

    Beatrixia: We have invited King Montgomery and Queen Lisa to join us for tea and cake.

    Enter King Montgomery and Queen Lisa

    Queen Catshepsut the Golden: On behalf of Ancient Egypt, I welcome Your Majesties, King Montgomery and Queen Lisa.

    King Monty: You are most gracious, Your Majesty. I understand Chef Thomios is a baker par excellence.

    Queen Cat: That is so, Your Majesty.

    King Monty: Please, call me Monty.

    Queen Lisa: And I’m Lisa.

    Queen Cat: And you may call me Goldie.

    Thimblefist certainly earned it! Although, knowing where the raccoons usually get their materials, I must question who throws away a pocket watch.

    I can’t remember were the original comment was, I think somewhere in the Saturday comments someone was looking for the strip with Puck’s sticky note asking about if people have names. I am not sure if anyone found it already, but I found it was April 26, 2019.

    Washington Post reported that an owl got stuck in the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden Typewriter Eraser X sculpture. He was rescued and rehabilitated and released from the rehab center in Delaware. They named him Eraser. Hi is a beautiful young owl. Not a mean streak in him.
