Extremely cold and wet
I redrew this page in its entirety, twice. What remains is a cut and shut of different bits. It’s not even a complicated page. I think I might have had something lumpy in my back pocket. I couldn’t get comfortable. Unlike Tom in his egg chair.
That looks like a very good music section af Vinyl. But Tom seems to have win this round. WHY???.
Eh, Tom inconvenienced Reverend Penrose, but he didn’t inconvenience him as much as he meant to. I’d call it a draw.
I’m wondering if the full extent of Tom’s plan was for Rev. Penrose to at the very least come down with the sniffles.
It was a great present. The rev LOVES to battle sea creatures! And now he has a new story to tell!
This stuff is great, John. Thank you.
Tom’s coming down after a grand show and is feeling mellow. Billie’s goal of Seasonal Joy is achieved!
Satanic upskirt must be a daily hazard at Tom’ gaff.
Pretty sure I only remember Val Doonican from hearing Viv Stanshall jibe him on Bonzos songs
I would however draw the attention of devotees of musical humour/cheap laughs/chirpy Yorkshireness/bad knitwear to the more contemporary oeuvre of the Bar-Steward Sons of Val Doonican, who are not a tribute act in the conventional sense.
Some of us grew up in the ’70s. And are still recovering.
Here he is, past his best, but still giving to Paddy McGinty’s Goat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1Ofhh30lwQ&t=20s
Look up the word “louche” in the dictionary, and all you’ll see is a picture of Magus Tom.
As a 70s survivor, I can say that egg chairs aren’t all they’re cracked up to be
I see Billie and Tom are both wearing their Satanic Church-issue magenta socks, although Billie has the crew style and Tom chose the ankle-length.
I’ve had to think more about socks in Steeple than I have since the heyday of Shelley Winters’ knee-sock phase.
Hi there, nice to be with you …
Val Doonican was a staple of the British pop scene in the early 1960s, and even had his own TV show I seem to recall. In another timeline, he could have rivalled Freddie and the Dreamers at the very top of the pops. He still achieved immortality with a guest appearance on The Intro and the Outro by the Bonzos, as Ray mentioned above.
As for Tom though, dastardly is the only word (forgive my strong language).
You may have had to draw it over and over, but the end result is MAGNIFICENT! I went back and admired it several times, especially the second frame.
He’s such a Queen.
You’ve done a great job of conveying the viscerally revolting nature of Magus Tom. Every time he’s on the page I cringe, mainly for the characters that have to be in his presence.
What does Billie heart? Me? Mom? Moe? Mirth? Moose?
I HAVE TO KNOW!!!!!!!

Thank you for asking, Joe King, and for answering, Inimitable John A. I had to know as well.
What is Tom drinking that he has to stir with his fingers? I have never seen somebody do that.
‘I see that you are a logger, and not just a common bum ‘Cause nobody but a logger stirs his coffee with is thumb’
I think that for the Spring Festivals special, Tom should have to fill in for Reverend Penrose and lead Easter Mass. Or vice-versa.
Evil really is petty, ain’t it, Tom.
