A bit hot in the mind
I wonder who came up with Tredregyn’s ‘Reign In Bloom’ initiative. I think she’s probably stood next to the sign, dressed chevronicly.

There’s something I like about the way Lottie’s legs are positioned in panel 2. One of those little details that just… works. Also her rigid “better not be another orgy” pose. And Cornish language wordplay?
By the way does Dan have a podcast, “Vape It Then Tell Everybody”?
The pursed lips blowing smoke from the P of VAPE is sign genius
This one-time army medic appreciates the shout-out to Savlon, cleanser of all manner of ills in our field hospitals.
Oh, Billie. That just wasn’t what Lottie wanted to hear.
Maybe is what she needed to hear…
That skirt is definitely Chevronny. It even follows the Rule of Tincture.
The skirt was made by Charlie Brown’s shirtmaker.
Who’s Jora? Any relation to Superman?
His aunt. He was named after her in hopes of getting her inheritance.
Merriam-Webster says “maen” is a Scottish variant of “moan.”
It’s also Cornish for stone
Are you guys looking at a rhyming dictionary by mistake?
Maen is Welsh for Play too
Sorry, but no – Chwarae is Welsh for play. Maen = them.
It’s a suspiciously clown-like spelling of “Main”.
But me, I expected it to happen
I knew he’d lost control
When he built a fire on Maen Street
And shot if full of holes.
Shell-ey, She-e-ell-ey, so easy to look at, so hard to define.
It’s alright ma, I’m only vaping.
(I’ll be back to this thread later I’m sure. Gotta go work just now.)
I don’t know if I’m the first, but I’m calling it: Billie will be Mayor of Tredregyn someday. And the days will be filled with a terrible perkiness!
Something orgy adjacent that should help finding Shelley? I kinda hope is Brian ready to use his half werewolf incredibile ability or sniffing the scent from a trail. That would be hilarious! Lottie is so nice with Penrose, and instantly so cold with Billie.
That’s the best guess I’ve heard lately, and it will be hilarious if the “something in the car” referred to is actually Brian.
I think the name of the next strip hints at how right you likely are!
An orgy in a car? Does Lottie think that Tredregyn has clowns on top of everything else?
😉
I doubt you could fit much of an orgy in Billie’s car.
Probably Brian on a leash in the back seat. He will follow Shelley’s scent like a hirsute bloodhound.
You’ll know he’s found her when he starts getting the meat sweats.
Yes, hence the implied “clown car” remark. 😉
Is the “Reign in Bloom” initiative related in anyway to the old Bavarian Illuminati catchphrase, “Ewige Blumenkraft”?
If only! It’s a play on the name of Slayer’s ‘Reign In Blood’.
I guess that the mid-1970s really is old, now. Du hexen Hase.
More Aluminum Bavarioti, then.
Reign in Bloom. Amazing. Amazing.
He. Is. Not. Appreciated!
Down this Maen Street a man must go, who is not himself maen. Or something, probably.
It’s rough out there on the maen streets of Tredregyn.
Oh, John. Just admit that you love chevrons.
With Techron!
I think that’s obvious?
You’ll know he’s found her when he starts getting the meat sweats.
Oops. Wrong place!
It’s never the wrong place for the meat sweats.
“They’re patently morons, not suspects.”
Yes, suspects are usually IDIOTS. The distinction is subtle but it apparently exists. 😉
Remember, if criminals were smart, they wouldn’t be criminals, they’d be able to think of LEGAL ways to get what they want. Or so I read somewhere. Doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny, now that I think about it, though. Oh well.
It’s more if criminals were smart, they’d probably figure out a way to not get caught. Most common crimes have an abysmal cost benefit ratio as well. It’s kind of a “treason never prospers” thing, if you know the old doggerel.
One of our more regrettable demagogues over here in the States actually said “Nobody suggested we ban CRIME” in response to some post about cancel culture the other day.
Wags of all stripes had an enjoyable afternoon with that one.
Panel 6; Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Are Lotte’s heels Louboutin, or fake ones? Crime-crushing must pay handsomely, what?
This has been covered for shoe-centric readers, they might be knock-offs, she might have got them from Shelley, we may never know.
Not shoe-centric myself, but my dear wife has over73 pairs, not counting slippers and wellies.
