Who says ANYONE is driving? If the car is haunted/under a curse/a ghost car/ whatever, it may not need a driver. (And last we saw Jason, Tom was keeping him locked up for apparently nefarious purposes.)
I wonder if the Reverend is aware of this cruising, if he do that under the car’s evil control or if it’s just the car driving around alone. Beautiful see Maggie trying to make her noticeable coping some nocturnal, rapacious bird.
Only in the Bobbinsverse could I imagine a fun game called “Badger Culling.” OK I’m guessing now that the Hyundai’s driving on its own and has the Rev trapped in some kind of pocket dimension?
Or he’s back at the Rectory and has no idea his car’s gone out for a drive? I don’t think Maggie was expecting him to pick her up, I think she and Billie just assumed, when they saw the car, that that was why it was there. I could be wrong, of course, but that’s my impression.
This is one of those super abstract European games, isn’t it. If it’s anything like Settlers I’ve already lost and I haven’t even been asked to play yet.

Good to know – I was aware that one should not be alarmed at bustles in one’s hedgerows, thanks to a certain Plumbous Dirigible, but I didn’t know what a bustle in a hedgerow was.
Great, Maggie’s voice in my head is now that one background voice in “Money”.
S’very drunk at the time…
That’s what I thought of too!
Quality flapping there
It’s too bad John has that “no final lines” policy for the “Still to come” quotes. “Cruising for a bruising” would have been perfect.
Though I’m kind of surprised he didn’t go with “The Rev’s sweet new whip”.
That’s how Christine did it!
Apologies. I put this in the wrong place (and can’t delete it).
So who is driving? My money is on Jason, he’s gotta show up sometime.

Yeah, I’m voting for “No one” as well
That’s how Christine did it!
Bear is driving! How can that be?!
Something about Maggie’s movement and dialogue in panel 3 reminds me of her namesake in Love and Rockets.
Maggie might take off with flapping like that!
Ah, the familiar backgrounds of any bar-closing scene… one fellow crawling, another fellow watering the wall.
Sheffield needs to invest in some Hamburg-style “peeback” walls.
“Fish bros!
Fish bros!
Roly-poly Fish bros!
Fish bros!
Fish bros!
Eat them up – YUM!”

I think it’s noteworthy that we don’t actually see the Reverend behind the wheel in Panel 2.

Badger Cull is just a re-skinned hungry hippos, where the little guys roll around chaotically as you snatch them up in the jaws of your trap
That’s right, I forgot that the Rev actually made it home that night.
So do we have two haunted/possessed vehicles here? The VW and The Rev’s Sweet New Whip. Is the rev’s car stalking the VW tonight?
Maybe the whip developed a crush on the VW when she spun him out!
I’m not sure the VW has a corporeal existence.
I’ve heard that Badger Cull is a lot more interesting if you use the Bovine TB expansion.

So… is there going to be the obligatory “ghost riding the whip” joke? Asking for a friend
Cruising for a bruising, aching for a shaking, hankering for a spankering, they’re all good.
Also, is a twitching in your meridian like a bustle in your hedgerow? Asking for a friend.
Nope, bustle in your hedgerow is a (comically) angry lady. Twitch in your meridian is a lustful lady. You’re welcome.

You may be confusing it with a hedgehog in your bustle.
Coal Board?
I believe it was established a while back that it’s an obscure band.
Given the theme of the evening, it could be some kind of resource management Euro board game that takes six hours to play.
I honestly thought it might have been a literal Coal Board shirt in the municipal sense and it still made sense for Brian.
Show Week???
I’m assuming, based on the previous page, that “Cornwall Show” is an agricultural show (and “Cornwall Show week” is the week of that show).
ROYAL Cornwall Show, thank you very much.
“You can make a board game of anything these days.”
I really like Guillotine, the board/card game myself.
Badger Cull obviously does not relate to the animal but to the beer.

Billie is surprised that the reverend is coming to pick up Maggie – so he did not talk about anything like that.
The car is either empty or driven by Desmond.
Or, going from panel 3, one of Desmond’s fish bros.
the Badger is driving the car, hoping to find a safe place next week during the game
LOL at the two background drunkards in panel two! 😀
Last call bell, that’s putting in some late night hours.
