Like a Jackson Pollock
Mrs Clovis certainly hands out a series of sick burns in today’s page. These burns need to get to hospital, they’re powerfully unwell. Poor Maggie!

For American readers who never heard of Vanish Gold Oxi Action, let me save you the Google search. “Vanish introduces a revolution in stain removal. This super boosted formula is so powerful it removes some stains in just 30 seconds! For maximum speed and power, pre-treat or soak. Safe to use on both colours and whites.”
Appreciate the context! Especially since the last time a group of YHWH-worshipers began calling out for golden livestock, things didn’t turn out so well for them…
Am I a bad American if I understood the Vanish Gold Oxi Action to be a stain remover from context, but had to look up what (or rather, who) Jackson Pollock was?
Not at all, just one of the little treats I build in for diligent readers.
Yes, and thank you!
Could it be related to Oxi Clean? I have seen it on local commercials. Any relation?
Oxi-clean could be considered a spot-remover… If the spots were acne.
Little-known fact: That’s also why a Jackson Pollock looks like a Jackson Pollock.
Talented guy
Although what would be really impressive is if they’d pulled off a Mark Rothko. I’m a fan of persistence.
Lol. Like a Jackson Pollock. Mrs. Clovis is definitely queen of the zingers(though I suspect Billie is a close match) in this part of West Cornwall.

Mary Clovis? Penny Clovis?
Can it be… TWIN CLOVISES?
(I mean, probably not, but still.)
Oh dear… I pasted that character information from an old Word document… I have made the appropriate correction.
What would you do without your readers to keep you in line?
Sweat ferociously, gnawing my nails
It’s crazy but I start to like Mrs.Clovis. Probably is for the Jackson Pollock reference, or because she care, even if in a very weird way, about Maggie, the curate and everything.
NOOOOO. MAGGIE, CAME BACK!!!!
she will be back with the Oxi and the ability to make us wish she used us for her expressionist pallette.
What’s happening with Brian though???!!! Is he a werewolf now??? Yes that is a lot of question marks!!!!!
Side note! Having just finished two university “how to draw comics” courses, I very much appreciated the Scott McCloud reference in today’s mail out. The Des/McCloud is spot on, really.
What does it say about Mrs Clovis being a foundational figure of the Rectory with her calling out to bring a Golden Ox back to satiate a religious icon.
Well meaning but wrong indicates what she’s doing will end up offending the Bishop more.
Now this i what I call a super moon
Takes one to know one.
One day Maggie will find a stash of saucy postcards from the 1950s featuring Mrs Clovis, and the shoe will be on the other foot.
Note to the Youngs: get an old person to explain what a ‘postcard’ is.
