Unicorns
[I survived the Covid and was back in action… five days after making the last post? As opposed to the Last Post]
Charlie at the Victoria seems like a man of limited moral fibre… if I may be so bold.
STEEPLE – A Scary Go Round Comic
by John Allison
But limited moral fiber often leads to excellent business sense.
Besides, each repair lets him make some changes to the pub’s… “ambiance”.
Perhaps too much moral fiber/fibre clears out one’s gut sense for business?
All the regulars at the Victoria, Billie? Like the sesh gremlin?
He’s a person like anybody else! He cares!
Is he though?
Well, no, not really.
Somehow I don’t think his priorities align with Billie’s here.
Unicorn Brian is smashing.
At least, once every six months, anyway.
Billie, asking the barman to help someone get sober is… perhaps not the best plan you’ve had.
USUALLY the barman actually wants to get rid of the guy that smashes up the place, or constantly gets drunk and starts fights.
Then again this is the satanist bar, isn’t it…
Billie, that’s the funny part of the unsaid pact between the barman and his important costumer. Creativity after destruction!
Does Brian make costumes for Charlie?
I would not be surprised by that.
I want to ask Charlie if he offers a discount for alcoholics.
Freqent flyer discount? Beer miles?
Ok, in my head canon, Charlie’s voiced by either Ralph Ineson (though I also had him voicing Tom’s Skull pal) or Brendan Gleason (I know Gleason is Irish, but maybe a little closer to the Cornish/West Country accent?).
And the whole problem is that Brian shies away from fibre of any kind.
I regret this story deeply
I am loving this story, and regret only that the title of today’s strip isn’t “You daft mare”.
WHO is that piece with the PANTS?
“Patchwork” Pritchard, local sheep drover and thumbtack collector.
Patchwork Pritchard loves sheep, thumb tacks, real ale and the music of various Cornish beach bands. He likes weed, I know that will be a surprise, but he really likes weed.
What sheep man doesn’t? Good grazing material, that.
He looks like badly-done Rubik Cube.
If Brian pays for the damage he causes, that essentially means the bar gets a free renovation twice a year. It’s not a bad deal, all things considered.
Let us not forget that Charlie gets ‘Big Ken Removal Services’ likely for nothing more than a pint
Greased or ungreased!
Landlords welcome the push to get out a next phase of decoration, they are uniquely attuned to the very flow of life that demands it.
