Mrs Clovis acknowledges no milk substitutes, she thinks they’re for “show offs”. Get on the oat milk train, Mary! That stuff’s tasty! Part 1 of Clotted Crime ends tomorrow.

As I sit here in the West of the United States hoping my home does not burn down this week, you have made me laugh with that final panel, John, and for that I am forever grateful.
Fingers crossed you are safe, Andrew. (“Thoughts and prayers” seemed a bit risky in the context of the comic we’re reading). Agree about the last panel: Cornwall’s relationship with the rest of the world perfectly captured.
Thank you so much Ken, so far so good! We did evacuate for awhile but the fight against the fire is going in our favor! Our firefighters really deserve praise, this is the Caldor Fire near Lake Tahoe.
Also I will always accept thoughts and prayers. Except from Magus Tom and Baphomet!
Every hope for favourable winds and early rain, Andrew.
Thank you so much Rob, we could really use it, I’ve been breathing wildfire smoke for six weeks straight!
Panel 6 made me laugh. That looks suggests Mrs C puts oat milk in the same category as monkey’s blood or kitten tears.
I have to ask. How do you pronounce Tredregyn?:
Tred-re-jinn (soft G)
Tred-reg-in (hard G)
Tree-dreg-ayne (long I)
Tree-dreg-een (long e)
Tree drag in
Travis (PG Wodehouse secret pronunciation)
Going by the Cornish norms, I’d assume it’s pronounced “Tchrwghedine”.
Tre-dreggin is my best guess based on knowledge of real Cornish place names
Treddin, but Leicester —> Lester, Worcester —> Wooster sort-of logic.
Based on how most names that start Tre are said down here, it’s truh-DREG-inn
Two spoons of coffee…? I know, there is Billie, adorable and desperate, who seems ready to open a channel to show her snoopy at the world and Maggie is rescuing her and showing her the way to a great career as an actress, there is the great entrepreneurial spirit of Mrs Clovis and Brian was quite gentle. But those Two spoons of coffee… what it means??? I just don’t want to understand it!
Mrs. Clovis appears to be selling instant coffee for 3 pounds — and doubling the price if you want 2 spoonfuls of the instant coffee crystals! She’s really taking advantage of this situation.
Are you familiar with instant coffee?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_coffee
I have a very low opinion of instant coffee.
It helps me to think of it as a completely separate drink from actual coffee.
Indeed, just like “decaf”. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/03/9a/6e/039a6e611565da8e11a06757f433e883.jpg
I think of instant as the drink of desperation, for when you need to stay awake and you don’t have the time and/or equipment to make proper coffee. Decaf is the drink for people who simply like the flavor of coffee, but plan to sleep within the next few hours. Instant decaf, on the other hand, is a sign of a deeply confused person who should probably take a step back and rethink some of their life decisions.
It’s like an espresso vs a two-shot espresso.
For the harried production assistant who told her “I NEED THE CAFFEINE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, JUST GIVE ME THE POWDER AND A SPOON”
Dodged a bullet with that Onlyfans joke there.
The funniest aspect about this storyline is that the acolyte priestess of the Church of Satan wants no truck with ‘dirty television money’.
I think she only feels that way about TV money in this case because it’s tainted by the destruction her prayers “caused”.
Magus Tom would say “improved” rather than “tainted”
What’s up with the background in panel three? Having a bit of an ‘episode’ there? [ouch]
There is a lot happening there and I’m consumed with the need to decipher the meaning.
Women and children have replaced the men on the freeway entrances begging.
The Great Eviction has started.
I hope Billie doesn’t join them with a crook lettered cardboard sign.
Brian merely lives to serve…
Maggie may have switched sides, but her sales pitch is still distinctly on the Mephistophelean side.
Mrs. Clovis facial expression the last panel looks very Jamie Hewlett inspired.
I can remember copying Jamie Hewlett drawings from Commodore User magazine (he did the spot illos for the magazine for a few months in 1988… I think?) when I was 11 or 12. I am definitely influenced by him.

It depresses me that Jamie is younger than me, if only by about six months.
Nice tactical swerve of potential continuity issues through date blurring there.
Billie, you can’t refuse a job on principle when you offered a sacrifice to a horned demon to get it! That’d be… hypocrisy? Or something?
that sixth panel (even without the inset) is golden all in itself — who here hasn’t uttered OAT MILK (or SOY MILK) with teeth-gritting contempt
It’s definitely the panel I lol’ed at!
Wasn’t ENDEMOL bankrupt ? Perhaps not financially and just morally…
We are getting to that part.
Mrs Clovis will end any fool hipster that tries to order a Starbucks abomination with a dozen ingredients!
Billie prayed for this and now refuses her lord’s gift reminds me of a friend of mine growing up and working at a start-up.
The owner planned all along to screw him over and at one point gave them an expensive car stereo amplifier ostensibly as a cool boss/friend gift but later turned out to be a cheap way to assuage the guilt.
When my friend found out they refused to use the functional item. That never made sense to me since you could still be mad and utilize the useful item you accepted in good faith.
That’s the story of how I got an expensive car stereo amplifier.
