Billie has return! At least for help save the reverend by that bad situation. She’s so a nice woman♡. I hope Maggie will return after the bishop leaves. Watching her try to change her life is fascinating.
Do the English say “canned goods”? I thought we only said that in the US, and that “tinned” was the word in the UK. Perhaps I just watch too many old British movies…
And it shows Billie’s bilingualism. Always useful in a curate who often has to converse with the very fiends of hell, as well as bishops, both of whom can be difficult to deal with when hot getting their own way.
(Have you seen the TV series “Rev”? Archdeacon Robert was apparently based on our then bishop. Those of us who knew him were not in the least surprised. he was, and remains, even though now retired, a PITB.)
The US has lots of famous shows from Britain, they just get bought and changed for “localization,” i.e. the office and, if you are middle aged like me, All in the family. For purists like me there is Monty Python then for the followers of Satan, Top Gear had a big cult following.
The Steptoes weren’t Jewish. They were just common as muck. . .
There was an excellent comedy called “Never Mind the Quality – Feel the Width” about a small tailoring business with a Jewish tailor (John Bluthal) and his Irish business partner (Joe Lynch) which affectionally poked fun at many stereotypes. I’d forgotten about it until I was replying to you, but am now wondering if it’s available on DVD – may not have aged well, though)
Gasp! Subversion! An agent of the Deceiver in the House of the Lord!
Billie’s continued goodness – as evidenced by her ability to light Magus Tom on fire simply by touching him – is at such odds with Satan’s claim on her soul.
It’s really quite astonishing to behold, and keeps me coming back and back, thrilled that I get to cheat and get updates a night early over here across the pond…

Both would be understood. We’ve been flooded with US TV shows for decades.

Yes, Rev was definitely an inspiration for Steeple. Wonderful series.

Don’t forget Steptoe/Sanford and Son. Converted from uncomfortable Jewish stereotypes to uncomfortable black stereotypes
I had no idea. That is fantastic.

Beans and chick peas — *shudder.* We truly have lost her to the forces of fiendishness.
Or at least windishness.
I wonder if they were canned at the factory where Ryan worked? It is a shared universe, after all.
Percy’s Peas. Now *there’s* a viscous fount of human evil for you. Makes the Magus look like a piker.
Uh oh. While I’m glad to see Billie back in the parish(for however long), didn’t the Bishop’s spy see Billie on the bike doing the Satanic sign?
P.S. I believe Leonid and Friends are BETTER than Chicago. Yes! Try “25 or 6 to 4″—amazing!
Chick peas and beans? Looks like my kitchen cabinet!
Ah, Billie returns to help the situation! Perhaps the forces of good and the good forces of evil will unite?
What common enemy could they have?
The forces of Bureaucracy!
Billie’s putting ecumenism into practice.
High quality links in the newsletter today Mr. Allison! I fell in a DEEP Nancy hole. (That is not meant to sound dirty)
And yet it does . . .
I expect that Billie’s presence at the bishop’s visit is the favor that Maggie wanted to elicit from her.
Is that Spiderman peeking around the corner of the house in panel 1.
Oooh!
Looks like it, doesn’t it?
It could be some Foul Fiend!
