This chop isn’t a prop
Why did I call Penrose’s rowboat “Joeystarr”? Because I could. I’m drunk with power.
Someone asked about “Bran & Bran” in panel 5, so, from September 24th, 2009:

Somehow, I didn’t think the rowboat was his – I assumed the Rev was commandeering it. Seems like the kind of thing he’d do in the course of God’s work.
Me too!
I think he’s probably just borrowing it. Or he might have bought it from a French person.
So it IS a reference to the French rapper ?
Yes of course! Ever since I saw him on Call My Agent (Dix Pour Cent) I have been fascinated by him. With no context, he seemed to be quite an ordinary middle-aged man! I learned afterwards of his past as a rapper.
Larval Desmonds!
If I hadn’t already finished work on this story, you might have changed history with that comment.
You can still Destroy History.
Alternate universe story!!!!
Bran & Bran™, for when eating single bran just isn’t enough!
The question is: Is “Bran & Bran” a breakfast cereal, or a comic book? It looks like it could be either.
It’s a breakfast cereal. Lottie says it looks like “long hamster plops”.
Either way, someone decided to toss it into the harbor.
Probably for the best.
Harbor could probably use some fiber; it looks all runny
Maggie and Penrose are such great partners♡. They are so good to see as a couple. But the green eggs (and hams?) seem really delicious.
I reckon they taste eggy, a bit fishy with a whiff of oily harbour water. I’d do them scrambled on a muffin with plenty of butter and a puke bucket on the side
Wait, so Maggie walked off the set right after the director yelled action? I know she has history with The Rev, but she’s asking to lose those extra role fees.
I don’t think she was involved in that scene — it’s why she and Billie were wandering around talking when they called “Action!”
He said he wanted a word with her when it was convenient. Because it wasn’t convenient at that time. Apparently it now is in fact convenient. 🙂
If Maggie had had fleeting dreams of forbidden scenes, I think they’ve gone to the cutting room floor right now!
At least the remnants of the CoS stand and pamphlets are going to good use as nesting material!
I just realized that Penrose is the protagonist of some unwritten parallel comic that’s probably been in print for eight years.
No, is a weekly serial in the funny pages opposite of Dick Tracy. On Earth 237 that is.
Yes, it’s an old strip. John Allison 237 took over drawing it from his father, who took over from his own father.
So is Tom. So is Mrs. Clovis. So is the Gremlin guy. We’re ALL the protagonists of our own unwritten parallel comics. Some of them are more mind-numbingly boring than others, but they’re there.
I’m glad to see that Reverend Penrose knows his dragon eggs from his unspeakable deep sea abomination eggs. It’s a skill that’s sorely lacking these days.
The Collins Pocket Guide to Monstrous Eggs, Larvae and Pupae has sadly been out of print for more than 300 years.
“unspeakable deep sea abomination[s]”
If they’re unspeakable, who told HIM about them?
😉
Personal experience.
Ah, Joeystarr. The truly lost Jojo.
Loving the interactions between Maggie and the Rev here. Also I find it funny to think that Rev. Penrose probably has more knowledge from experience of the supernatural than most of the members of the COS do (other than of course Brian with his transformations and Billie’s interactions with Baphomet).
Not buying it. Drunk with power would have manifest as “Boaty McBoatface”.
Power implies choice. If being drunk with power automatically resulted in “Boaty McBoatface”, it wouldn’t really be power.
Boaty McBoatface really is representative of enervation before a crowd of internet jokers. No one would name their own boat that
Man, Maggie’s got some big hair!
To be fair, Maggie is a bit lush all around. Even her fleece appears to be slowly giving up the ghost
The Rev kept his apron on, he must be expecting some splatter.
This apron isn’t a prop.
It counts as armor!
Cloak slot, provides 1 AC, MC1, poison resistance, and the only source of acid resistance other than yellow dragon scale [mail] or polymorphing into something acid-resistant.
I nominate “Expect Splatter” as a possible story title.
I used to have an ankh necklace. I feel personally attacked.
In my defence it was the ’70s.
Free satire, is without a doubt, quite the bargain.
This is great but I’ve just discovered Destroy History. Wow, wow. Hedy Lamarr in colour, Freddy and the Dreamers in MonoChrome! Nobody told me. A whole new universe.
You’re welcome. 😉
Thanks Joe, I knew I got it from somewhere.
OF COURSE dragon eggs are purple! Everyone KNOWS that!
I am rather glad we are well past the point where those eggs required fertilization!
I mean… we ARE, aren’t we?
I’m pretty sure once the shells harden they can’t be fertilized anymore.
Bran and Bran, a reference to the unique quotable dialogue from the classic Star Trek episode, “Spock’s Bran.”
What is “bran”?
Bran is not Morg, bran is not Imorg. What is bran?!
Yumm. Eldritch caviar.
2009? That’s about the time I discovered your work.
