Rent out the rectory
Of course Reverend Penrose is a flip-phone user. He’s Motorola RAZR all the way, buying aftermarket replacement batteries on eBay and keeping that baby out of landfill.

NO! THE AXE NO! I’m pretty sure Werewolf are a protected species.
Is the phone screen displaying a red pentagram icon for Tom?
It is!
Well-spotted, Sean!
Any cartoonist would be proud to have you as a reader.
Well, there are advantages to having such an antiquated phone. I mean, compared to the crap that can happen when a newfangled phone gets hacked, what’s the most inconvenient thing it can do? Butt dial someone? Show your call history, demonstrating frequent conversations with the local head of the church of Satan? Oh, wait…
It also won’t crack if somebody breathes on it too hard. Or takes a slap at you with its slimy, barnacle-encrusted tentacles.
I don’t know about that. I’ve had multiple iPhones and never cracked one. But I bought my first one after my old RAZR finally flipped itself in twain.
So . . . it’s important for Tredregyn Parish to be failing – on the point of the church actually falling down in places . . .
Rev. Penrose (“Father David” as many in the C of E would call him in these “enlightened” times), can’t look as though he’sdouigna good job of brining the Gospel to the Heathen, otherwise the Bishop will think that he isn’t needed because they are all Good Christians.
This explains so very much – not about the strip – God knows, that defies any sort of explanation 🙂 – but about the Anglican church.
I think you read his statement incorrectly. If he CAN’T show that it’s NOT failing, he’s in trouble. That means to be in the church’s good graces (so to speak), he MUST show it’s NOT failing.
Soooo… he can’t not show that it isn’t not failing, or he’d succeed in failing to succeed?
I know that you know that I know that…
Struggling with this . . . too many double negatives for my simple brane (sic).
I thought he was ADDING dust is strategic places, and dragging the font out of situ.
Doubtless we will learn the truth in the course of time
“bringing the Gospel”, not “brining the Gospel” – though maybe the Mermen would prefer that.
Also sorry for the other million typos. I got over-excited.
Nice to see the two churches keep communication open
I just love your details – the dustpan – filled, and then in a wild gesture energetically emptied…
The details raise Mr Allison’s work above all other.
Does Reverend Penrose have a ringtone set for Tom, or does he just use the factory presets?
I’m sure he uses Night on Bald Mountain. it seems doubly appropriate.
I finally replaced my old phone in January. It was hard- not because I had any emotional attachment to the old phone, but because it had lasted over a decade without any problems and was still going strong. I know my new one won’t last anywhere near as long. Being built to last is still a selling point for me.
The panels where he scoops up the dust and then flings it over his shoulder caused me physical pain. I think I’m going to go clean the bathroom now.
Delighted to have the Gumroad option for picking up the SGR reprints. No problem ordering those, but also tried to buy the Bobbins Horse 2016 collection and the “add to cart” button doesn’t add to cart. Tried a couple of the other older collection with similar results.
The minis are “pay what you want” – £1 or more. You have to type a 1 in the box before you can add to cart.
I didn’t know about these. Are they actual printed books, rather than digital ones? I missed the first 3 SGR books, but other than those, I have a whole bookshelf dedicated to John Allison books!
No, they’re just digital, sorry Ally. I don’t think those books will ever be put back into print… I prefer to work on new stuff.
It kind of makes sense that Rev. Penrose and Tom have each other on speed-dial. Kind of like a Cold War Red Phone deal.
