Billie will save the day!! Somehow.
Was Tom the wicked stepmother in Cinderella? I bet he’d make a great wicked stepmother.
He’d have to either be the wicked stepmother or the fairy godmother. He’d fit the former role better, but, given that he makes these decisions himself, I could see him choosing the latter, as it would give him more of an opportunity to show off.
Not too very incredibly long ago he was Mother Goose.
Tom *wishes* he’d been the wicked stepmother in Cinderella.
By the looks of things, he played Baron Hardup(?)
It just brings me so much joy that he is every year in the panto. Yes. Perfect. How do you do this. Of course he is.
Mike is… was…? OK, I’m totally into this! Also, Billie and Rupert are about to see each other, finally the time to understand if they want to break up or continue seems to have arrived. Whoever is able to speak first will win.
He said “Mick,” I think. And who knows? If Tom worshipped The Mouse, he’d presumably be more in line with the branding guidelines.
So, some of the future page titles are starting to make sense. “A fun lifespan” likely refers to the lifespan of the relationship (or whatever you want to call it) between Billie and Rupert. “Everything’s falling apart, Mick” will likely be uttered by Tom, talking to his glowing skull friend. “Oh, just jump, lad” will most likely be said to Earnest the Frog-Boy, a hitherto-unrevealed character who will suddenly be thrust upon us over the next few pages.
Ah, Earnest, the oft-speculated as-yet-unacknowledged result of Desmond Fishman’s dalliance with noted star of stage and screen [REDACTED].
I’ve been increasingly dismayed by how short that list has gotten, and the lack of a new such list appearing on any of the other-
… Scratch that. Since I checked last, a new list has appeared on badmachinery.com! Yes! Moar Lottie!
I must say that Mr. Jagger is looking remarkably well-preserved for his age
Not nearly as well as his Glimmer Twin, though.
At first, I thought Billie was referring to Bob in the last panel, but if that’s Rupert showing up, maybe it was him. Problem is, they both fit. So to speak…
Even though it’s near Billie’s head, I think that box is a continuation of Tom’s dialogue with “Mick”.
That’s the problem with the higher levels of the CoS: You no longer have a soul to sell to get yourself out of a tight spot.
You then have to find OTHER people’s souls to sell. Increasingly challenging with market saturation.
It’s basically LuLaRoe, only slightly less evil.
Presumably the toast mentioned here shares ingredients with the cracker mentioned a few days ago.
And is this Mick’s first appearance?
Well it’s the same cuisine
So much suspense here: What will happen to Tom and the Tredregyn branch of COS? What is Rupert going to tell Billie? And a whole new private part on bread product!!
The image of Tom opening up Bob Warren like a flower is one that I could have done without.
If he had but known what the future would hold, Tom would have opened Bob up like a barbeque pig.
I had to redact my proposed jokes in response to this comment no less than three times, as I feel each would have constituted an area-of-effect attack on the entire forum.
Takes “cringeworthy” to a whole new level.
Satanism in Tredregyn: Battle Of The Weird, Glowing Skulls
Mick better have a lot more mojo than Uncle Donald does. Because… “The Student is now The Master!”
Mick is his own thing, his own special thing.
Dunno, Mick looks a bit hot-headed to me…
First there was “tits on a cracker”, now we have “cocks on toast”. What else do you have in the way of snack food?
I think there is a third instalment at some point.
So far, the creative expletives have covered two out of the three anatomical regions for which one might be arrested if one reveals them in a public place.
If we get all three, I’m going to start imagining some sort of bizarre snack food reproductive cycle.
And here I thought she was just talking about a chicken sandwich.
Buns on a bun
Cooch on a Crostini
“balls on a biscuit”?
Bollocks on brioche?
This reminds me of George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on television bit, when he says tits sounds like a new snack from Nabisco: “Try delicious Corn Tits! And new Cheese Tits!
Blue tits on a bird feeder?
Well, over in the states, army folk get S on a shingle. I don’t which of these 3 is most appealing.
I forgot to add that the progeny of said army folks refer to the chipped-beef-on-toast food-like substance as crap on a cracker.
In the 19th century COS was the abbreviation for “Charity Organisation Society”, by far the largest (very Christian and very liberal) private charity in Britain.
How they would hate to see their abbreviation taken over by Satan.
“Cocks on toast”! There is a guarantee I will be sub-polite later today.
Is this Mick’s first appearance?
He looks like he could take down Great-Uncle Donald without breaking a sweat.
Actually feeling a bit sorry for Tom there. Talk about sympathy for the devil!
….I apologise
Gah. Gimme shelter.
I love how every time Tom talks to a non-Brian man they have immense sexual tension. Tom Pendennis, daddy whisperer.
