3 - Daddy
Once more we are aboard the Joeystarr for some thrilling under-jetty adventures. This is, officially, issue 13 of Steeple. I am afraid that it could be unlucky for almost everybody. My Patreon subscribers ($3 and up) can read the whole of Clotted Crime pt 3 now! — Colours by Sammy Borras
Maggie has really shaken things up at the Old Rectory. Everyone is embracing new, confusing behaviours. For example, here we see Reverend Penrose pass up the opportunity to slice a mer-beast in half. — Colours by Sammy Borras
Billie finds everything Rupert says hilarious. I’m not sure that she’s laughing with him.
FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK! Many candidates for today’s page title. “Pony Parpy” was a close second. Today, Maggie Warren is outed as a horsey child. Today’s comic is a sentimental flashback to the era when British politicians used to have to resign for doing something wrong. These days of course, that is less of a concern.
What’s with rich fellows and their red trousers? Once seen, never forgotten. Happy Guy Fawkes’ Night, hopefully we’re all free to burn bonfires tonight. Colours by Sammy Borras
Maggie’s dad is quite the figure. I tried to merge all three classic Top Gear hosts into one man. Colours by Sammy Borras
Maggie’s posters: Greenpeace, Pussy Riot, Unicef. Pretty much as you would have expected. Colours by Sammy Borras
A strange understanding seems to be developing between Reverend Penrose and Brian. Not exactly a friendship, but certainly a more genial relationship than you might expect, given their history. I think Brian’s personalised letterman jacket was probably his Saturnalia present from Billie. Colours by Sammy Borras
What a rogue’s gallery! Maggie’s motorbike took a dive in Steeple volume 1 (Dark Horse issue 5). Colours by Sammy Borras
