Budleigh Salterton
Budleigh Salterton is a real place, it’s in Devon, Cornwall’s natural enemy. As you will see from the official guide to South Devon’s web page on B.S, they are flagrant in their use of the grocer’s apostrophe, providing yet more ammunition for Cornwall’s slings and arrows .
I was disappointed to only notice one grocer’s apostrophe. However, I am very pleased that they have an award-winning fish and chip shop and that other takeaways are available.
Spotted two. But who’s counting?
I count two superfluous and a few missing apostrophes at first skim, as well as a couple of homophones, but they tend to blare out at me, synesthetically.
The local shops selling local produce do sound delightful, although I’m intrigued as to what makes a bistro “energetic”.
Obviously not much of a “rest”aurant.
Sorry, I’ll get me coat.
Local shops with local products for local people can be hazardous to health.
I am surprised that Magus Tom works out, but not at all surprised in his choice of workout attire.
Being as vain as he is is hard work!
I’ve worked out in spandex black bicycle shorts before, and I like free jazz.
I’m deeply uncomfortable with what today’s comic may imply about my true theological orientation.
Go with it. Do what thou willst.
Tom at his…least loathsome?
His SECOND-least loathsome. The man has to sleep sometimes.
But is it a festival that features performances of free jazz, or simply a more general jazz festival that doesn’t charge admission?
Those are some quality stink lines coming off Magus Tom in the second panel.
Tom lives to offend and upend by whatever means necessary.
Seeing as it attracts evil incarnate and probable sociopath Tom Pendennis I would say Free Jazz that is not free.
Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Paul Lytton… I always suspected that English free jazz was of the Devil’s party.
It must be free-form jazz, as even a jazz-lover like myself thinks it must be born of the devil.
According to my friend Mike, it’s called “free jazz” because no-one would pay money to listen to it.
It is one of my ambitions to someday visit Budleigh Salterton. I look forward to walking on the glorious pebble beach and examining agates and jaspers.
Also welcome back Billie’s sexy backless!
I came here to applaud the ensemble. Also those yellow shoes really make the outfit pop!
A free-jazz festival?
I always suspected Tom was evil, but I never in my wildest dreams suspected exactly how evil. I mean, I would have believed he was a fan of Nickelback, but free-jazz? The musical equivalent of the rising of Cthulhu? The soothing sounds of a box of French Horns falling down a flight of stairs? The Sex Pistols played backwards through a broken amp at 1.5 speed? An Abba tape played through a Teddy Ruxbin doll?
“I will kill again”
–the only Teddy Ruxpin doll seen in Bobbinsverse continuity
Didn’t Willie Nelson write a song about Budleigh Salterton, or was that something else?
Different kind of buds.
Budleigh Salterton was mentioned in a Python sketch, but I do not believe that singing was involved (“The pump caught in my trouser leg.”).
I really like the way Magus Tom gives others the freedom to do whatever they want with their life. The fact that he says his church isn’t a wellness clinic while he’s exercising in the gym is fun. He also seems to be on better terms with Billie than before. It’s the first time I’ve noticed that he has nipple piercings, they look so good on him! And Billie in her black dress is always so stunning ♡.
It’s not a dress; it’s overalls. Sexy, sexy overalls.
It’s not overalls, it’s a jumpsuit. With you on the sexy though.
Front bib attached to trousers, no sleeves or back… the Backless Clerical Jumpsuit seems to me to meet the technical definition of “overalls”.
His diet is damaging the toilet
“Free Jazz at Budleigh Salterton”
Well, as long it’s played on empty cider jars, I suppose the hillbillies wouldn’t notice the difference
Should point out that Budleigh Salterton is in EAST Devon so that link to Visit South Devon is a typically clumsy attempted smear by the appalling people of, probably, Paignton who are jealous of our vastly better pebbles
I don’t know these places but your description makes me want to visit.
Pronounced “Budlee Soda-tun”
More to the point, Brian’s diet is damaging the plumbing.
