After the destruction there will be a reconstruction. Everyone will have a job… Poor Billie. This situation is awful and her grandparents seems so nice. Poor sad Billie.
I’d say he actually cares a lot about boundaries, because he takes so much pleasure in violating them. It’s one of the little joys that makes his life worth living. I imagine when he meets a new person, the first thing he thinks is “Hmmm. What will annoy this person the most?”
A little slow on the uptake sometimes, but I’m guessing Bophomet “provided” by having the GP’s send money for no reason, with the side effect being a weather disaster in the southwest of GB?
I read this as Billie dipping into a gift she had been saving for some time, hoping to spending it on something genuinely special, and not just fending off eviction for another month.
The weather disaster, though, that’s all Baphomet. (Could use a little of that rain in the British Columbia Interior right about now, Baphy old chum.)
I took it to mean that Billie is tapping the last of her financial reserves. After all, birthday money loses its magic the instant it passes out of the recipient’s hands. Baphomet had better shift himself!
Guessing that the destruction caused by the storm will mean lots of construction jobs for the people of Tredregyn. Who knows, the town may actually prosper after the storm abates. As will the Church of Satan, I’m further guessing…
If Baphomet caused Billie’s grandparents’ to send her emergency rent money out of the blue, I’m hoping she didn’t give him free reign over them. We’ll know I guess if grandma and grandpa start crawling down the stairs backwards a la The Excorcist, next time Billie visits them for Christmas.
I was going to say “Umbrella? Ewww…” until I realised he just meant it was raining outside. For a minute I thought he was going to go all R Kelly on us.
Grabbing the Birthday Cash isn’t the only thing that is delighting Tom so much. He’s well-aware of what the storm’s havoc is doing to Billie’s spirit, and her pain and regret is stoking his emotional vampirism!
I bet Tom loves sucking family money out of his parishioners most of all. The fiend.
It appears that all candles in the Satanic temple burn blue. Something in the wax, or something in the air?
Given that it’s the same flaming electric blue color as the miasma possessed Billie was spewing during her ritual, I’m guessing the latter.
*I meant to say the glowing runes all over Billie’s body, not the miasma.

My favorite thing in this one is Tom pretending to knock after he’s already let himself in.
Same, it shows how little he cares for anyone else’s boundaries.

I also don’t think the GP’s money came from Baphomet. Billie didn’t ask for money; she asked for a job.

You know, things like this wouldn’t happen in Billie hadn’t written the word “MEANWHILE…” right about her doorway
ABOVE
ABOVE her doorway, he noticed exactly .1 second after hitting “Post Comment”
Oh hell, I am absolutely going to do this to my office. John, are wall decals ever in the cards merch-wise?
In a perfect world – the only people this is really bad for are the insurance companies. But…. we’ll see I guess.
What about farmers, John, won’t you think of our onions?

O_o
Poor Billie and the Reverend Penrose both at lowest ebb. Who can save them?
I’m going to go with Maggie as the one who can save them both.
I see what you did there…
The “Meanwhile…” above the door is glorious. A small detail, but appreciated.

Tom: The Piper At The Gates of Damn!
She had to go into her emergency funds 🙁
