Being haunted by even a genial ghost-Brian is bad enough, but your version sounds like the kind of nightmare that might send one to seek God or perdition.
Penrose was really scary, good for him he wants to change! The “Brian solution” could be interesting. But it is possible convince him to collaborate? Maybe with Billie intermediation…? I love how Mrs Clovis wants to avoid Brian’s help ♡.
Each of the six pieces regenerated — and bears its own distinctive grudge. New means, not exclusively based on edge tools, will have to be found to defeat it/them.
It only occurred to me recently, maybe it’s just that the disembodied head really drives it home, but there is an uncanny visual similarity between Brian Fitzpatrick and Bob Zanotto from Psychonauts 2. I know that Brian’s first published appearance was long before P2 was released so WHAT DO YOU DOUBLE FINE CADS HAVE TO SAY
A couple of very drunk women being haunted by a sesh gremlin thought they saw Des at mass on Christmas Eve. They may not have been the most reliable of points of view.
I gather that Des has been to Tredregyn, though since I don’t have the loose scratch to Patreonize my favorite creators, I haven’t read it. But I can’t imagine that it went well.
Honestly, I have trouble imagining anything that involves Des going well.
The oar sfx…. Magnificent
Poor Brian, he seldom gets the chance to harness his beastly side in a moderately productive manner.
Guessing Brian’s piles give him merbeast communication powers.
Oh, exactly!
Maybe Clovis is just imagining the horrible effect of Brian’s lust episodes if the merfolk or sea witches get involved. Nobody wants that timeline.
That last panel is wonderful.
These are definitely some of the best panels we’ve seen these last few strips.
John, you mastery of speech bubbles and SFX definitely has gone up a notch !
Mrs. Clovis and Brian seem to have some sort of familial resemblance. Or am I wrong? I frequently am. Have been today. Before lunch even.
Hard to tell – no one’s seen Brian’s full face in years.
Maybe that’s why!
Same square head, same eyebrows… GASP! Brian is Mrs. Clovis’s disowned son/nephew??????
There goes that warlock, scrying again. Fortunately Mrs. C made her spot check.
MUCH better than being haunted by a genital ghost-Brian
I think you meant “genial”?

Ohhh, it’s John’s flavor text, please forgive me!
No-Points awarded to whoever thought that the book was Jason’s Journal!
Ha, call’d it!
Nov. 12 — It’s beast work — now looking like our favorite warlock will be involved.
I’m enjoying the sequence of “The lost lamb”, “An amused goat”, “It’s beast work”.
And baffled by “Your voluminous lady suit”.
I believe we’re now witnessing the second and third thought bubbles of John Allison’s career.
They’re no Desmond Fishman, but okay.

Did Jason piece the six bits of the beast back together so he could draw it? That’s commitment!

That diagram of the beast really should be labelled: ham, loin, bacon, spare ribs, etc.
That’s where my brain went immediately before I had actually read today’s comic.
This may be my favorite set of John Allison panels to date.

Maybe someone we know can communicate with it.
Turns out the Reverend is actually on reasonably good terms with Desmond.
Des is a member of the congregation. We saw him there Christmas Eve.
