Well sure. Maybe there will be a huge storm, the wind will knock the building on its side, and then a flash flood will rush in and push all the air to the other side of the room?
Maggie plus the hipster witches is a recipe to unleash any imaginable form of chaos. The resulting conflagaration is unlikely to be stopped by something as mundane as the ordinary rules of Brownian motion.
Since the curse was really only one of several factors, though, what would the effect of that be, I wonder? Billie already had her doubts- and plenty of reasons for them- before the vacuum cleaner was put under that spell. Maybe she’d leave the Church of Satan, but wouldn’t rejoin the Church of England? Maybe she’d start worshiping Flovorr!
I don’t think Billie will leave the Church of Satan. It’s true that in the previous story the explanation she given to Penrose was not convincing. But when she was angry with Tom she was 100% sure of herself, strong, powerful!
Wait, Maggie’s séances are so good to be considered a Classic? I want to see it! Go Maggie! Also, I can’t decide if the way Ludmilla and Clotilde leave is adorable or alarming.
(Though I wouldn’t call this playing your hits – more like playing one song with a chord sequence you’ve used before. Just change a couple of studs on your boots, at most.)
Please don’t listen to the commenters who make you feel like you’re only playing the hits. One of the great things about your writing and drawing is that it never feels old–it’s always new and different! You’re fantastic.
John Fogerty was sued for plagiarizing himself, but he proved in a court of law that certain common elements in his body of work nevertheless combine to create unique works. The same is true for all creative people. That’s how fans and other experts can identify a given artist’s work. Two different characters displaying slightly abashed lip-biting is no more “only playing the hits” than Jack Kirby drawing big black dots.
Attendees had the opportunity to hear me deliver Kit + The Wolf in its entirety, doing a different voice for every character. And there turn out to be a lot of characters in that comic. I severely stretched my repertoire, and going from South African to Australian requires a pivot that one shouldn’t attempt without rehearsal. I did rehearse, though I’m not sure anyone could tell.
For Wolverine, I just did my own voice. For Kitty: Victoria Coren-Mitchell.
Good Lord! I just realised what you’ve done! The U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., is in utter chaos this week, and probably for the next month, and it’s all because of Maggie, Billy, Ludmilla, and Clotilde.
Well, it’s at least THEORETICALLY possible the evening could proceed without any rules being broken.
Theoretically possible, in the sense that it’s theoretically possible for all the air in a room to suddenly move over to one side of the room.
Well sure. Maybe there will be a huge storm, the wind will knock the building on its side, and then a flash flood will rush in and push all the air to the other side of the room?

A big river of witchy peer pressure that cannot even be contained by panel borders!
I note that Ludmilla and Clotilde are practiced at synchronized prancing.
Synchronized prancing is set to be a demonstration sport at the 2032 Truro Olympics, I hear.
Oh boy, some portal will be opened.
Seems to be working out pretty much the way several of us predicted.
Maximum Chaos Result would be them undoing their curse

Such a sexy streak of whitewash would be wasted on Flovorr.
Maybe she’d found the Church of Extremely Intensive Good Works?

High Priestess of the Church of Absolutely Not Tom
I’m predicting a return of the Kresh demon. It’s just not a party without him.
The Sesh Gremlin?
Yes, Shesh Gremlin is what I meant. Thanks.
Daesh Shaman? Wrong answers only
Hesh Slaad.
Slash Glen-lin: a unsettling supernatural doppelganger of Lottie’s friend.
Desh Fishmin?
Gaardan Selad
Fresh He-man
Nice call-back, DanG. Well-played on Ygln.
Wait, Maggie’s séances are so good to be considered a Classic? I want to see it! Go Maggie! Also, I can’t decide if the way Ludmilla and Clotilde leave is adorable or alarming.
Adorably alarming?
“alorable”
“Adarming”
You win.
Water…
Water…
Hmmmm…
Desmond Fishman!
In the last panel, Billie is definitely Amy and Maggie is DEFINITELY Shelley.
When you’re only playing the hits, feels like time to hang up your boots
Why are you wearing boots to DJ?

Please don’t listen to the commenters who make you feel like you’re only playing the hits. One of the great things about your writing and drawing is that it never feels old–it’s always new and different! You’re fantastic.
Ah, but everything you play becomes a hit!
(I am the pathetic maniac in the back row at the concert shouting “Robert Cop!” when you come out for the encore)

Oh, hey, John, how went the Comic Festival last weekend?

Maggie seemed much more self confident when she was with the Church of Satan. Now she’s with the Church of England she’s full of self doubt.
But the self-doubt came first, and was why she left the Church of Satan.
Good Lord! I just realised what you’ve done! The U.S. House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., is in utter chaos this week, and probably for the next month, and it’s all because of Maggie, Billy, Ludmilla, and Clotilde.
I put the current problems in the House of Representatives down to a long-range hex cast by notorious warlock Tip O’Neill in the late 80s.
The end result is the opening of the Gaetz of Hell.
“All Magics is Local” he was widely misquoted as saying.
Can I just say, I love Maggie’s hair.
That is all.
Mags didn’t even give them an address.
That’s a simple enough divination for a couple of hipster witches.
I just realized that this page explains the cover.
And hopefully the cover indicates that Maggie will successfully ride that pressure wave, rather than wiping out.
Severe crowding by blue-eyed people in these episodes. Only one brown-eyed and one green-eyed (tinted contacts over blue, I presume).
They blinded her with seance
