Tie it up tight
I don’t know if today’s comic isn’t in some way more lurid than the last one. I’ll shoot for a little more decorum next week.

Margaret Warren, you should have had some tea while you were in the kitchen so you wouldn’t be acting so thirsty
Mags pretty much changed sides solely because she’s hot for the Rev.
Blades on one hand and a medkit on the other – is this the Rev’s version of “LOVE” and “HATE” tattoos?
Also, seeing the skull in panel 4 makes me think that Penrose’s alter ego is Punisher U.K.
I think it is an indication of his Deadly Intent!
Handsome and lethal! However, he’s so shy if Maggie shows too much appreciation… how cute! Penrose is really awesome ♡! Is the storm a consequence of Billie’s ritual? Of course it is! Dunno if The Sons of the Sea will be more powerful than ever, but that sure is pure evil rain.

Just checked a Cornish English dictionary. This is real, and it is spectacular
Maggie with dazzle-eyes, stars, and a wicked grin.
Don’t you DARE tone down the lurid.
Indeed. No need for decorum, John. We’re fine.
You’ve assembled a rum lot of slack-jawed deviants here, Cap’n Allison! Onward to the Seven Sleeze!
This run of Steeple is turning out to be quite the skin show.
yet Maggie is the ‘most-covered’ she’s ever been, throughout, so far.
No, John. Lurid is cool. We know from Maggie’s past that she can trip a man and beat him to the floor…
John, I think you’ll find a pretty broad pro-lurid, anti-decorum constituency among your readers.
Either I never actually pressed submit or my comment from yesterday got sniped by the feds. Either way, the people were decidedly not ready for the truth.
The BBC learnt the hard way, in 1987, that if anyone asks you if there’s going to be a hurricane, you do not say “well, there isn’t”. Just in case one comes along.
Haha! I transcribed that dialogue from the original broadcast in panels 1 and 2.
Yes, I thought it sounded familiar, though the original had a phone call instead of an email.
(For anyone who is too young, or too American, or whatever, to know what we’re on about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_storm_of_1987#Criticism_of_the_Met_Office )
You know, in Hertford, Hereford, and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen.
I need a higher resolution for this comic, just for Maggie’s expression on panel 5.
Are her irises heart shaped?
I’m afraid that they are.
Wait, no they aren’t. I just checked.
I agree and humble ask for a hig resolution post of the panel on tumbler, Instagram or twitter.

My favourite part of this story is the wild boar escaping and colonizing the woods of England!
I’m not sure if Maggie really does have a huge crush on the Rev, or if she really, really enjoys the mayhem that acting like she has a huge crush on him creates. Potentially both?
Dunno. She seems pretty sincere to me. She surely admire his body.
Is that a fishman on the cover of the parish newsletter?
Des is a member of the congregation. We saw him singing in church on Christmas Eve: https://steeple.church/comic/hes-such-a-delicate-flower/
Given that on that page Maggie and Billie are both so drunk they’re seeing the Reverend’s cassock as an electric blanket and Mrs. Clovis’s small portable keyboard as a huge church organ, and that we’re apparently seeing what they’re seeing, I’m not sure it can be entirely relied upon that Des’s appearance in that panel indicates that he was actually there…
Hey, he made the parish newsletter, so…
They’re not looking at Des, though, and seem unaware of his presence. I suspect he’s actually there.
Des appears to have a gig as the face of some aquatic supplies (see the last story), it’s not impossible it’s an advert to cover the cost of the parish newsletter
At least now we know the sort of guy Maggie goes for.
Time to hit the gym, gents of Tredregyn. At least, after the storm passes.
Indeed, my “dad bod” is going to need some work if I hope to catch Mags’ eye.
Poor Rev, his unhappy face in the last panel! No amount of beasts from the depths could have prepared him for Maggie XD

Oops. This is why we need to be able to delete posts!
The fishman so nice, you pointed him out twice!
Bet that isn’t the only thing Maggie would like to tie tight!
Shouldn’t Margaret be saying “OOH-Le-Le” instead of “OOH-La-la”?
We Americans like to get are sexes and genders correct.
I have heard that Pepe Le Pew is very upset.
Ah, but isn’t the French expression is “oh là là” with the adverb “là”, literally “there”, rather than the feminine definite article “la”? So it doesn’t need to agree in gender with any (implicit) noun.
In any case “oh là là” and emphatic variants like “Ooh là là” and “oh là là là là là là” is very much a stock phrase, well removed from the literal meaning and grammar of the constituent words in French, let alone when loaned into English.
(please excuse the slight editing error)
Thanks, Pepe Pepe Le Pew being upset was just a rumor. I am now slightly less completely ignorant of French.
Margaret: a woman of simple tastes
Anyone remark yet that he looks like a grownup Eustace? Grown up and put on two stone in muscle or whatever you Brits use.
I think it’s “farthings”.
Or… could it be “rods”?
Maybe a “cuppa”?
OH NO! Now i can’t stop seeing him like that! (and Maggie as a not goth Esther)
