STEEPLE – A Scary Go Round Comic

JASON! I put him at the top of the page months ago and he never appeared. Well, he’s here now, as blue and lovely as ever. It’s Jason’s time to shine!!
Jason had, in fact, previously appeared (in one panel) after you included him at the top of the page: https://steeple.church/comic/selling-microfibre-cloths/
I’m… not entirely sure Jason actually considers Tom a friend. This might be a very one-sided friendship here.
Poor Tom, this truth could destroy his sensible heart.
I think it’s more likely that the claws and fangs will destroy his sensible heart.
That’s something he could like more.
I’m very, VERY curious about who these extreme freaks are. They’re not Sea People… maybe they are former members of Trident who joined Tom after seeing Bob go into crisis? Anyway, it’s time for what? What does Tom know about this whole story and how did he find out?
Based on the beckoning hand it is not Ludmilla (who has stubbier fingers) or Clotilde (wrong skin tint).
C’mon, Ludmilla and Clotilde aren’t freaks, they are just wild troublemakers who love to do pranks.
I think they’d probably classify themselves as extreme freaks, but be forced under pressure to own that they are at best basic freaks.
Er, maybe _green_, not blue? 🙂 Anyway, great stuff! Keep it up! 🙂
Since he’s a color between blue and green, opinion could differ on whether to consider him blue or green. Such are the foibles of gross colors!
Let’s call him teal.
My wife insists there are actually two teals, which she calls “teal blue” and “teal green”.
Your wife is quite correct.
We women know these things.
Plus, there is of course, :turquoise”.
The bird constitutes a third.
One of the pet arguments my wife and I regularly have is about whether some particular item is blue or green or something in between
There are, in fact, common sex-based differences in differentiation of that particular area of the color spectrum
Obligatory xkcd…

Your wife is right. Women have more colour receptors than we do, but we have more monochrome cells so we see better at night. So you can get revenge by turning the lights off and saying “what colour is it now, eh? eh? Ow!”
My husband and I argue about red and orange the most.
He was previously much greener than this. Apparently being imprisoned in the CoS has made him blue!
Months of Amstrad Seafood noodles will do that to you.
Yes, that would make me sad indeed.
My family has an ongoing joke/debate about what color tennis balls are. Yellow? Green? Any takers?
Jason’s color in this page is #39a29d, in RGB colorspace it is (.22, .64 , .62), it’s not a named color, teal is maybe closest with (0, 0.5, 0.5).
In HSL space, it has a hue of 177 which is almost exactly at the cyan midpoint (at 180) between blue and green.
I would call it a blue, myself, despite the marginally higher green value.
Or… it could be Jason’s time to SLIME!
Jason’s time to dine?
Or maybe just glisten.
I wonder what type of play they engage in that Tom cannot abide. It must be vair extreme.
Endless hands of pinochle.
He’s not as young as he was.
Age is a bugger when it comes to orgy action. He’s probably dying for a nice cup of tea and a sit down.
(Especially as he no longer has Brian to pick up the slack . . . )
What I want to know is… Where’s Eggsy?
Died of sexual exhaustion in the last orgy. Subsequently cooked and eaten by the extreme freaks.
NOOOOOOO! Poor duck.
So Glad to See Him Up to Sort It All Out because Jason is The Man. Yay, Jason!!!
I’m pretty sure Jason will take care of Tom (in a Al Pacino way as opposed to Julie Andrews) before dealing with the Extreme Freaks. On the other hand I think Tom has long considered this possibility and has an escape plan once he unlocks that cell.
THUS DOES EVIL RECOIL UPON THE SCHEMER TOMMY
Tom looked forward to expanding his church. Well, what did that get you, Eggmusher?
The road to Hell is, in fact, paved
With bad intentions?
But it does have some potholes.
And broken eggs
I was thinking that if Bob Warren has really reformed then there may be some spare satanists floating around looking for a home.
We need to see if the extreme freaks have a passion for red trousers.
They said Jason was no fighter, but that was in another life.
It’s more of a crepuscular glow than a shine, really.
Tom releases Jason hoping that an Innsmouth Mutant rampaging through the building will finally scare off the Extreme Freaks, but the joke’s on him – the freaks are into that too and poor hapless Jason only ends up being dragged into their games for renewed indignity. Poor Tom!
Hugs, yes. I’m sure that’s foremost on his mind right now.
I don’t see the harm in lurring him urr.
“Hrrr wrrr ruuu drrr drry hrrr wrr brrr r Frrrknnnstnnn!”
no freaks, no hugs, Tom you’re being real precious about everything lately.
Jason definitely looks like he wants to hug. And squeeze. Very, very tightly.
Will he name him “George?”

(For some reason, my brain has been trying to turn everything into songs lately. My apologies to John Allison, Keith Emerson, Greg Lake, Carl Palmer, and all of you.)
You’re not the only one. I’ve had “Lurrrrr, lurrrrr meee durrrrr, yurrrrr knurrrrr urrrrr lurrrrr yurrrrr” going through my head since yesterday.

Definitely improves that song…
That’s easy for you to say.
I can even sing it with my mouth full!
So it’s up to Jason to solve the remaining loose ends and wrap everything up in six pages or less. David lost a very competent curate.
