SPILL THE TEA!
Go on! SPILL IT! SPILL IT NAOOOWWW!!!!!!
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Getting close to the final steps of this arc. So close I can taste it! Maybe even done by the end of the calendar year! WHAT SPEED!!!
In other news, my wife saw a panel from this comic and said, “Blood on the dress. Just like Jackie O.”
“No!” I replied, horrified. “Not like Jackie O! Not like that at all! That is not the imagery I’m trying to tap into here!”
“Well, I just think of Jackie O. when I see blood on a fancy dress,” she replied. “Come to think of it, Tracee’s like a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O. all in one.”
So that got dark.
Just like he likes that tingly taste of 23 flavors of a nice cold Dr. Pepper as it goes down.
Satan DOES like the tingle, don’t he?
Okay, Tracee just laid the beat down on that fool. So who’s next ?
Maybe the only guy left? Maybe?
Who is Colonel Sanders to judge?
I think that if he relaxed with a fizzy bath bomb now and then he wouldn’t be so grouchy.
I do not get Jackie O vibes here, you’re okay on that score. While she might have had brass knuckles (way cooler if she did); I don’t think she would tan this much, nor wear a dress with so little cloth involved.
Bath bombs are great for relaxation. Which can be a type of evil, I suppose.
I read your report of your wife’s remarks to my husband, and he said, “Parker Posey. Remember House of Yes?” (Me: “Dude. No. That was *not* meant as a challenge to get even darker.”)
O.K., I’ve read about as much as that as I’d like to at this hour. That is legetimately darker. Nice raise.
We need to stop raising.
I fold.
Fun fact, grey suit with purple tie and pocket square was the required dress for the last two weddings I was an attendant in. Brother and a highschoool friend; both the same summer, ten years ago. They did choose different shades of tie and square.
My brother did black dress shoes, but my buddy had us wear purple low top Chuck Taylor AllStars and purple argyle patterned socks.
I will now assume that Colonel Sanders is wearing purple argyle socks and purple chucks until shown otherwise.
We’ve seen his shoes. I think they’re grey. BUT the socks might definitely be purple argyle.

We never did find out who the T-ball trophy belongs to.
What kid gets a solid gold T-ball trophy? A nepo baby.
I used to pick up odd trophies at the Goodwill and others. Was much taken with a fencing trophy (Brandeis 1961), ’cause I’d never seen one when I picked it up (sometime in the 1980s) and it seemed so darned odd.
Now THAT is a find.
I bet Phoebe was a tomboy. Or at least tried.
I remember that time when Jackie O kicked Strom Thurmond in the face.
Good times.
I really am not up on my Camelot lore, admittedly.
Non-zero chance she at least thought about it.
I’m sure lots of people had.
Hasn’t this fool heard? Denial of earthly pleasures and mortification of the flesh is reserved for the holy! Suffering brings one closer to G-d, so soft and excess doesn’t! Get with the program here, Corporal Sanders!
Exactly. Bath bombs are a kind of evil!
Big fake boobs let Tracee put more heft into her punches. The fake eyelashes and fake tan, not so much.
Who knows? Maybe fake tans have power we can’t comprehend.
Now you’ve got me figuring the solar power requirements to get Tracee’s tan so I can convert them to KWH so I can report back on the power requirements….
High. But wattage well spent?
It depends on how you feel about that skin color.
I am thinking that wives are not the best judge of comics.
You are wrong. Wives are the BEST judge of comics.
Little does he know that those bath bombs are stuffed to the gills with insane concentrations of THC/CBD/CBN/CBG.
They could also be stuffed with concentrated Psilocybin. All will infuse via osmosis…
Spicy.
Is it a fashion trend among the evil to grow and meticulously sculpt face hugging beards, but shave the upper lip hair?
Are the moustache-less make the greater evil? Or are they pretenders and the only fit person to sit in the Mayor’s chair wears brass knuckles at the moment?
The one evil bald guy has a moustache. But yeah, I just have a certain way I draw beards. And it involves the moustache not meeting in the middle.
Wouldn’t indulgence be on brand for Satan? I mean, all I see here is someone who knows what they like and is all about taking care of their own needs and desires. The true villains enjoy the finer aspects of life.
Exactly. I like the way you think.
Hedonism is arguably a Sin… Therefore…
Agreed.
Sanders has a point. However, let me point out that it’s quite evil to let others do the dirty work and you be the only one who enjoys a benefit.
Her dress wasn’t that fancy. Nice, certainly, but not fancy.
Her dress is … something. Not sure what the best adjective is. But you’re right. “Fancy” doesn’t quite apply.
We’re still talking about Jackie, right?
Money well spent on the legal counsel.
Also, I mean.. the Devil’s GOT to be decadent. It’s in the job description somewhere. An entire CLOSET full of bath bombs? That’s par for the course.
I feel it makes sense.
Wait, I thought being lazy and wanting excess WAS a part of being evil?
If evil just involves working 24/7 what’s the point?
I am on your side here. Workaholic evil is the worst type.
Oh yeas, how he gets ya. Best student I ever had.
I’ve heard the saying “work like the devil” but it didn’t make sense to me. Now I see I was right. 🙂
Working like the devil involves a lot of three hour lunch breaks.
Could it have originally been Work like the Devil’s driving you?
A dude with a vault full of gold bars seems pretty Evil to me.
Who knows? Maybe it’s good gold.
Amassing that much wealth always comes with being evil to others.
Almost always. Maybe Paul McCartney and Ringo are the exceptions.
NOBODY deserve them: right now, they are just the ones strong and cunning enough to take them. Meaning the lost edge comment is self defeating in light of the current situation: they have all the edge needed, as well as the blunt and the raccoons…
True enough. In a land of no ethics, the concept of ‘deserved’ falls apart.
I keep expecting Traci to have the shadow after all this rather than Satan.
Eh, or maybe Bethany, which would really be a twist!
Well, it’s not too late!
“Heaven won’t have her, and Hell’s too afraid she’ll take over.” (About Bethany.) 😉 :p
Accurate.
You know what I just noticed? In each of the 3 confrontations with the Cabal members, it’s the person sitting down that has the upper hand. Or a tiger. Tigers seem to be a bit of a trump card.
Phoebe is sitting down on the tiger. Does that count?
Sadly, not during the encounter with the Cabal member.

That we know of.
We don’t see the rest of the tiger.
True. And thus, the existance of Phoebe in that panel and how she is positioned relative to the tiger can’t be directly observed or proven. Thus, I propose we take a leaf from our freinds in particle physics and throw panels from other comics at it at high speeds and observe what results from the colisions. I’m sure if we use enough math on the decay art, we can form a pretty good hypothosis. 😉
This all sounds horribly complicated.
