Junior ox
I know that the Steeple fans from way back (2019) have been waiting for Reverend Penrose to have one of his fights. Here it is. A real hum-dinger.

Let’s Wrestle!!!! Looks like a great kind of hallucinations… That vape dust must be good!
Oh, no. Suddenly I have an inkling of the ladies’ plan!
Also, a minor question that’s been on my mind for days now – sorry, but I’ve just been very into Steeple lately! – among the Church of Satan in the Steepleverse, are “Satan” and “Belial” cognate or is it something more complicated?
My understanding of demonology – admittedly very neophyte, Penrose would shake his head at me – is that Belial is akin to the demon lord of self-doubt, self-hatred and worthlessness. “The hole at the center of everything” is a great line.
So, is it something akin to the worshippers using Belial as a portal/framework for the worship of Satan – “the adversary”, who is usually equated with Lucifer the fallen angel in many theologies? Or do they actually believe that Belial and Satan are one and the same?
I am a big angelology/demonology geek and I apologize profusely if I’ve wandered into “that guy at the convention, don’t make eye contact” status. But I’ve actually been literally pondering this since I bought the Comixology issues!
A demonologist. How quaint.
Please refrain from eating him Alxolomodimaprimil. I’ll filet you some Christians when we get home.
And here I thought Belphegor had the coolest demon name!
Well, “Belphanior” was taken.
(Read Roger Zelazny’s second Wizard World novel “Madwand.”)
“Ask your doctor if Alxolomodimaprimil is right for you!”
The word that makes “copy/paste” a divine right.
(I swear to Buddha they name those drugs specifically so nobody can remember how to spell them.)
The underworld was ruled by shelley winters’ sister, and a horse… theres a new kid rewriting the demonology textbooks now, and he’s having a hell of a time
Don’t even tantalize me with thoughts of a Mordawwa-Steeple crossover. Just don’t you do it! Because I will never be whole now until it happens.
The horse was called “Scientist”. And IIRC had originally been a youth called Eustace.
When he was changed back to human form (eventually) he greatly missed the cantering.
Not merely a youth. He was The Boy.
Surely vape dust so prettily pink couldn’t possibly be toxic.
“Strong as a JUNIOR ox”
That’s very specific – the Reverend is clearly a man who knows his gelded ungulates.
So . . . whose shapely leg is that, I wonder, provocatively extended through the romantic gender-specific pink, probably fish-oil scented, mist . . . ?
Hopefully not Tom’s!
Desmond!
Well, maybe not.
Well Billie was the only one wearing yellow tights … but what did they need the iPad for?
Looking at the titles of the upcoming strips, I expect they’re planning on showing him an episode of the greatest show… *in the world*.
(according to a certain class of middle-aged white men, that is)
The left bollock ended up tucked back in after all, eh?
I’d like to think the reverend is tucking it in with his right hand in panel 2
Oh god yes
Think there’s a missing word in panel 1 – should be “As strong AS a Junior Ox”, no? (Or am I missing a local slang useage? Lord knows I had that problem with Lottie or Shauna once or twice).
Thanks Brad – it’s fixed now.
Shaitan or satan means “enemy” or “adversary”. Not a name. Lucifer Son of the Morning is also a moniker not a name. Now the former Archangel Sama-el or Samuel is its name. Supposedly finds Lilith and from their union (?) they produce 2 things. Daughter of Lilith and some kind of blue killer disease.
But that is for another time. That is the most human looking werewolf I have seen. Next closest were the wolf headed human bodies werewolves of the Brit film “Dog Soldiers” with Sean Pertwee. They were immune to lead though they were damaged they healed real fast. And if you are bitten you will change into them. 7ft tall with hairless muscular human like bodies with shaggy wolf’s heads and neck.
Yours is a nice version much easier to draw and keep him clothed like The Hulk.
