All the Little Witches, part 191.

Let's play Good News, Bad News!

Good news: I'm 98% recovered from my bout with Covid.

Bad news: My lovin' wife caught it.

Good news: Her symptoms are mild, and now we can share a bed again.

Good news: Except for "Here there be Dragons", I'm posting all fresh-written and drawn stories on Patreon!

Bad news: All this writing and drawing takes up all my "free" time, so I haven't even gotten started on my Yule preparations.

My correspondents deserve better, so I...

Here there be Dragons 1, page 18.

And a tasty dessert, as always. Tonight, I picked up a nice copy of Anthony Trollope's humorous tale from 1855, "The Warden". As far as technology goes, me & Trollope live on different planets. But human nature has hardly changed at all....

Lily, page 6.

Was there anyone at all who did not see this coming?

Hah! Still Sunday, and hours 'till Midnight!

   On the loathsome disease front, I seem to be getting steadily better. Hope to see the end of this bug somewhere this week.

Goons do Dante, page 3.

After being fired from a thrift store I worked at, they sent me a small check for my remaining pay. But before I could organize a run by the bank, they snatched it back!  Let my mistake be a lesson to you, kids: If some normally tightfisted skinflint cuts you a check, don't give them time to think twice: cash it immediately!

All the Little Witches, part 190.

Always nice to see some courtesy among fellow professionals.

All the Little Witches, part 189.

Welp, it finally happened. Seems there was a plague rat at the SAR show this weekend, because the home Covid test I took last night came out positive.

   Seems it's true that if you get sick despite being vaccinated, the infection isn't as bad as for un-vaccinated people. I'm already feeling a little better, and am confident this bug won't last the week. My main worry is, did I infect anyone else, before I realized I was sick?

   YAY! The good wife ju...

Laurel and Hardee have figured out that if they treat their agents well, and make their jobs easier instead of harder, they'll get more and better work out of them. What cunning devils!

Here there be Dragons 1, page 17.

It's not over yet!

Lily, page 5.

Blew most of today packin' up and heading home from the SAR show in Phoenix. Ask me how much fun freeway travel in the dark and heavy rain is.

  But here's the Sunday Funnies on Sunday! Late in the day, but it still counts!

Goons do Dante, page 2.

Yeah, why not draw a whole sandwich? It's sheer bloody-mindedness, I tell you!

All the Little Witches, part 187.

Do something for me, and I'll do something for you. Deal-making might be the primal ancestor of magic.

All the Little Witches, part 186.

Ever end up in the situation where there's no room left in your schedule, but this new problem cannot be ignored, so time for it must be found somewhere?

All the Little Witches, part 185.

Demons from Limbo, huh? Well, that explains it. Silly of me not to think of that!

....And that's a mighty funny-shaped hole in the meeting room wall.

Here there be Dragons 1, page 16.

Humpa, pumpa, and polite introductions. Hey, I always like to know the names of whoever I'm jamming my dick into.

Lily, page 4.

Lily gets high on whang. Or is that hollow?

Goons do Dante, page 1.

Life is short, so we don't have the time to rip off our betters one at a time. Here's...four, at least? Geezer points to whoever guesses where the tounge-skull came from.

All the Little Witches, part 184.

Jones spoils the fun, as is a hostage negotiator's wont. And Hardee's odd ability was probably instrumental in getting him the job.

   Tank takes being tossed out a 3rd floor window with good grace, but Mink seems somewhat...let down?

All the Little Witches, part 183.

Hardee cares about his people. He didn't see Tank go through the wall behind him, so he has a moment of panic, followed by vast relief.

All the Little Witches, part 182.

Tank is tough, and seldom feels pain. Hence his incorrect assumption that he was punched.

Here there be Dragons 1, page 15.

I needs me that spell. Who do I bribe for a copy?

Lily, page 3.

Even for cartoons, there's physical limits?

The Piggy Bank Caper, page 8.

And that wraps up that silly lil' tale. Hopefully, Murphy will allow me to get started on a new Goons - sorry, Boons - tale next week, where we rip off Dante Alighieri as well as Spike Milligan.

All the Little Witches, part 181.

Mink doesn't actually project a giant head - I'm just trying to give a visual impression of what the OMA team is experiencing: Something big and powerful is very angry at them.

All the Little Witches, part 180.

UH-ohhhhh.....

All the Little Witches, part 179.

Every organization needs a person who does everything and keeps the place running.

Here there be Dragons 1, page 14.

I always did like how this story turned the size difference pron trope on it's head - or on it's side, anyway?

Lily, page 2.

Lily might be a petite cat-girl, but she's a huge perv.

   Which reminds me, all characters here depicted are over the age of consent. In fact, these characters start out as lines on paper, and then posted as pixels on a screen. There is no living being involved other than the artist - no possibility of abuse. All "life" here is in the viewer's mind. So if you go blubbering to the mods, complaining you find this offensive, it means your mind is defective. You should check...

The Piggy Bank Caper, page 7.

I, too, have felt the pain of stringlessness. And yes, you gotta be careful with those sound effects!

All the Little Witches, part 178.

A big crater where the rude & nasty people used to live is a lesson you'd think even the numbest of skulls could understand.

   Charlie Cosmic was a laid-back fellow - in fact, he laid all the way back to the fundamental forces of the Universe. To get him mad enough to vaporize 'em, the previous OMA must have pulled some truly spectacular ass-hattery.

In these days of rampant bureaucracy, being a master of it may not be a super-power, but it sure is a valuable skill. Stan's been involved in DC civil service since graduating high school.  Knows the ins and outs, who to contact to get something done, what forms must be filled out, and which can be ignored, how to use regulations as a tourniquet or garrote. If you're a desk-warrior, don't even think of messing with him.

   But much like the Mink's art, it's not ...
