We won’t involve the courts
Four comics this week (and a cover on Friday) as part 3 concludes. I’m very worried about poor Coby. She looks extremely depressed here, and I think she’s responsible for that big pile of sick.

Language, John
Reverend David Penrose is about to endure the trials of Job.
Given the way things are, I’d almost think that the trials of Job might be a step up for the Good Reverend!
But his job ALREADY has trials
And of all the spells in the spellbook they pick out “gas him up”. Devilish joke.
Yeah, seriously, Bobby, don’t say “Heaven”.
Mr. Allison certainly seems to have a grip on the aftermath of an orgy. One has to wonder where he gets his inspiration?
I especially like the differently shaped, and colored, intoxication bubbles around people’s heads. They are messed up in multiple ways.
Post-nut clarity hit different
how do you know?
Ah! The post bacchanal reverie I have seen, the likes of which you will never understand. ????
I was a minister in Los Angeles. Such a professional obligation renders one fully cognizant of the myriad of things put into humans for entertainment purposes, whether that entertainment is for said vessels or… otherwise.
Bob’s was a bourgeois orgy.
A bourgeoirgie, if you will.
The things I have to put up with on the internet.
Yes, famously everyone puts their underwear back on – for modesty’s sake
EVEN THEIR UNDERPANTS ARE RED
Bob is so bad that just touching the crucifix makes his fingers burn?! WOW! This is awesome! Now I’m really scared of what those Two might do to Penrose. Could that ritual lead him to become evil, slimy, abject and… and to be Magus Tom’s best friend?
Grave irritations, to be sure. Penrose is the sort more likely to become more staunch when tormented. In the end they may come to regret their choice of recourse.
Yes, and Bob should really contemplate the *significance* of that. And whether he *really* wants to get Somebody’s attention this way.
What is “doing bird” in U.S. parlance?
I hope Penrose doesn’t end up being helpless in the face of a Satanic curse. He does, one would suppose, have God on his side.
doing jail time? jailbirds?
Yep. One theory says it’s rhyming slang, from birdlime – time. Birdlime is a sticky substance used to trap birds, now widely illegal.
I’ve only seen the expression once before, in a long-ago Scary-Go-Round strip: One of the two women who killed Ryan’s French girlfriend and then caged her ghost — OSLT — was concerned by the prospect of “doing bird.” I for whatever reason found it memorable. 🙂
“Doing bird” *is* US parlance. e.g. Charlie Parker’s nickname was Bird, for Yardbird, because he did jail time.
It’s interesting. The men are all tattooed with Tridents all over but Mother doesn’t appear to have any.
She’s more covered up than they are.
Thank goodness.
Do note that she seems to have participated in this ritual orgy, which is disturbing in its own right.
I”m sure any number of pensioners would resent your inference…
Maybe Coby will come live with Billie and Brian at the conclusion of this story.
That would be the best end for poor Coby♡.
One imagines Coby slithering his way to Tredregyn and attempting serpentine sign language to convey “They’ve got your crucifix and are planning to employ it in dark workings!”
(“Wassat Coby? Billie’s fallen down the well again?”)
The fact that Grandma Warren seems present for an orgy involving her son, just added seven more layers of unsettling, loathsome and gross to her.
Well, I can but presume that attending an orgy doesn’t require one to “orge” with absolutely everyone else present.
True but even if it’s just voyeurism, it’s still pretty unsettling.
I cringe every time I confront myself with the fact that my parents had sex. I would probably implode in on myself if I’d ever found myself in any kind of sexual group that included them.
Gran, Gran, gets it while she can..
Just like Sweet Loretta Martin.
I hoe Bob’s tattoo artist gave him a bulk discount on tridents.
Actually, I hope Bob got charged double.
Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
I’m just impressed how little creativity they have. I mean, there’s commitment to the brand, and then there’s, “Seriously, dude, you’re getting another trident? This is, what, number six?”
They need to get Brian in there to give them some decent tattoos.
Maybe they commemorate a particularly notable and probably extremely awful event. Every time you [REDACTED AND REPLACED WITH “FEED A CARROT TO A CUTE BUNNY”], you get another trident tattoo. In which case ol’ Bob has [FED A LOT OF CUTE BUNNIES].
“Nice” to see that they are smart enough to realize that they kidnapped Maggie before Rev did the damage
I don’t think that was the issue — they already knew that at the time. The important part is they were smart enough to realize there was a witness.
Thing is, any observers would have seen her both entering the house of her own free will and leaving the house of her own free will. The fact that she was, in the interim, temporarily prevented from leaving (and thus kidnapped), that’d be her, Billie’s, and Penrose’s word against theirs. And, again, WEALTHY. 😐
And speaking of language, my subconscious has turned mildly against Maggie ever since her Gran called her Margaret and I realised who she’s probably named after. I may never get over this horrifying revelation.
Also, Bob’s “Sorry, Mummy” posture in the last panel is perfect, especially with that back view of his hair.
Do we know that Bob is/was a Tory?
Has to be. You don’t get to be that evil without voting Tory.
It’s the other way round.
Maybe the pig in panel 1 is the famous Tory David Cameron pig.
Whoa! That last panel.
The devil is in the details, indeed.
