SWIMSUITEMBER RETURNS!!!
Summer wanes and the swimsuit reigns. So…
As for this comic…
This one is vaguely inspired by an anecdote from the woman who initially served as vague inspiration for Hannah. (So lots of vague inspiration going on.) But the basics go as follows: the woman in question (a childhood friend’s mom) was blind since birth, like Hannah. And she once told us how her brothers used her to sell cookies and chocolates for their various fundraisers door-to-door: “Stick the little blind girl in front of the door with the boys hiding in the back. And we sold SO much. I realized I was being exploited, even at the time, but that didn’t make the sales any less thrilling.”
That childhood entrepreneurial spirit. You gotta love it.
Yeah, leave it to kids with no tact and a full entrepreneurial grift to exploit.
It’s easier than Robin Williams trying to sell spilled water to Paul Zaloom.
Tact is only a hindrance sometimes. The tact will detract.
You know… I think that there may be an inadvertent new couch in store here, possibly, maybe? I mean, it’s Daphne right?
TWO couches? You speak MADNESS! Madness, I say!
Looks like someone has been through some things when it comes to selling stuff door to door.
Haven’t we all?
So, plan B. Daphne goes back to online gambling? And makes sure Puck doesn’t interfere this time?
You know, I’m wondering if Daphne has enough fake money to buy into one of the good tournaments. Unless she’s blacklisted.
She probably is. Prior to the start of this series she spent years building herself up in online poker, was about to win big, then Puck informed the officials that she was a minor.
I doubt they’d let her back, unless she concealed her identity, which is probably also against the rules.
I have problems thinking of how that would stop her.
It might be in the cards. Who knows?
Nice one.
seriously? dude is still mayor. if there´s one thing politicans of all fractions are good at its making money for themselves from their office – accepting bribes, embezzeling taxes, selling public property dirt cheap to a straw man, to name but a few. dude just needs some help to get his nefarious juices flowing again….and who is better and more creative than a teenager when it comes to finding+exploiting loopholes?
System Rorts for all, system rorts ftw. Rorts I say, RORTS!
(Obligatory use of Australian vernacular) RORTS!
Now you got me chuffed.
You are forgetting that he is mayor of Hamilton, ON. That’s like being the mayor of a slightly larger Canadian version of Cleveland. Hard to steal the money that isn’t there.
You really need to look at Dolton, Illinois as well as Thornton Township, Illinois. I’ve been assured that she’s worse than Ford.
Things like that are why my doormat says “Go Away” instead of “Welcome”…
That probably wouldn’t stop Hannah, unless it’s in Braille.
And she’s barefoot.
Smart man.
I always felt “Welcome” was such an invitation…
Hannah would strictly speaking be using her power of cuteness for Evil (even the wimpy and de-powered Evil of Satan in his current state).
Speaking of cute, Emily is very much so in the current voting incentive!
Thanks. I try.
Is there any other way to use the power of cuteness? It’s always put to evil ends.
Once upon a time there wasn’t even mint, just chocolate, vanilla, or the half and half box.
The secret to selling cookies is to stand in front of the tavern at suppertime and wait for the guilt trips to kick in so they’d buy ‘dessert’ to take home.
I suppopse today the best tactic would be to sell them outside the cannabis store and remind them they’re going to have the munchies later 🙂
I was just about to say that the tavern is a relic from a bygone era of boozing dads, but your modern update was delightfully observant. Good one.
She plays that well. Is just giving him cash enough to get him his evilness back, or does he have to achieve something?
Good question. We shall see.
Ooh!
So this entire arc is based on the premise that Satan should be rich so that a) he can be even more miserable than he is right now;and b) So that he’ll spread that misery around with a shovel ?
Are our protagonists here actual supervillains or are they still working on their Doctorates in Stupid Evil?
They are working on the same assumed goal that all heroes do in the movies: protect the status quo. Is the status quo actually good? Who cares! Serve and protect!
Ah, Daphne is back to her wicked ways, hoorah!
Daphne need to become Hannah’s protege to get to the next “level.”
Daphne and Hannah should look into creating crypto currency.
Interesting. the comment section accepted crypto currency, but negated the compound word.
I don’t know, man. It’s a crazy system.
I mean, it’s a viable strategy. The one summer I had to spend in a wheelchair (knee surgery) was the year American Heritage Girls made BANK.
And all I got out of it was a frickin’ badge.
I hope you at least scored some cool ‘incentive prize’ like a light-up frisbee or something.
Heist movie time?
When in doubt, rip off another genre.
I mean, Riker had been duplicated already by the time Janeway got Voyager stranded in the Delta Quadrant. So it wouldn’t have been out of the realm of possibility for them to duplicate Tuvix first and then separate one of them into Tuvok and Neelix. That way, even though one of the Tuvix’s would still die, an identical Tuvix would live. No rights infringed!
You are brilliant.
Except that would have resolved the issue without DRAMA! Without TENSION! Without ETHICAL CONCERNS! So, of course, it wasn’t done!
That would be the worst thing of all. Boring.
Don’t tell Elon. He loves the boring.
By the way, if they do go door to door. Those cookies should at least sell for one bitcoin each, right? Considering that they can source the ingredients for the breakfast cereal served at his former residence before he took up couch surfing.
