I’m guessing the “Jezebels” section is just a list of apparently off-the-cuff comments, insults, and innuendo Mrs Clovis can toss off while talking to certain people.
Come to think of it, a fazer can probably only be set to stun. Hard to imagine being fatally fazed… unless, for example, Rev. P here were to hesitate too long….
Yes, but the question is, has anyone tried to do a punch-out since ’89? Is it actually hard to do, or are young priests these days just too squeamish? I mean the lot the church has been sending you lately don’t suggest an abundance of grit.
He’s been thinking about this punch-out since the day in seminary he read about Coughlan’s. But are his hands small enough? Frances had an advantage, there: she could get between the ribs and start a hole that way.
Notice that it has separate tabs for Fishmen and Mermen. People have used both terms to describe Desmond but this implies that he’s either one or the other.
I was assuming that Fr Frances was destroying gender norms as well as monsters, but in the comments John is putting the name as Francis… which just leaves me pedantically pointing out that Frances is the female version of the name Francis, sorry.
Jezebels have their own section. Good to know.
Undoubtedly the illustrations look suspiciously like Maggie.

Now I really want to meet this legendary Father Francis Coughlan. You could do a Destroy History crossover with him.
Fishman? As in… you know who?
And unless it’s cutting off an indication of cult Japanese dream pop/dub outfit Fishmans, that’s the only tab with an explicitly singular label, too!
Mrs Clovis actually looks a little phased in that last panel.
I had no idea that Tully monsters had tongues.
Noooo! John used “fazed” correctly, don’t ruin it for me!
As in… Fishman. Those who know*, know.

How did I manage to reply to the wrong comment? Total lack of attention, presumably.
Set fazers to stun!
And you just made me see that “faze” and “stun” are synonyms. I thank you from the bottom of my lexicographic heart.

I love the AKA “What Would Father Frances Coughlan Do?” in the notebook…
Don’t do it Father Penrose! It’s probably a Zord!
That Oxi-action gets those pesky blood stains right out!
Mrs. Clovis was apparently taking notes when she watched the Robert Zemeckis mo-cap Beowulf movie.

The tab reads “Fishman”, singular…
Well, mermen have fish tails obviously, and fishmen (Des) have legs.
There is only one Fishman!
Seriously Penrose? That look like a suicide! And Mrs. Clovis being her assistant in that is a true surprise.
Are we forgetting Father Ted Crilly defeating the Beast of Craggy Island back in ’98? No punch-out required.
Drink!
WWFFCD = What would Father Frances Coughlan Do?
When are we going to get flashbacks to see the mighty adventures of this absolute unit?
Also, with the belt buckle gone what is the source of the spark by Mrs. Clovis’ arm?
It’s a falling Post-It… and if you look at the diagram of Fr Francis Coughlan, you may notice that he is far from an adonis…
That was my guess. Glad to have it confirmed. That’s a BIG Tully Monster!
Pretty sure that’s just an escaping post-it

I’m the last person you should look to for consistency
people assuming Fr. Frances gender by his first name. Every Leslie calls out in mourning!
As does my great-grandfather Florence.
What Would Father Francis Coughan Do?
I shall never again for the rest of my life take decisive action without asking myself that question!
BTW John, “Frances” = girly spelling; Francis = BLOKE spelling. Though who am I to judge?
(Just noticed Chael has picked up on that as well. We should start a Pedants’ Corner, Chael.)
I love Mrs C’s notebook dividers.
I want to see the section on “Jezebels”
