I mean, I’m pretty sure her father has started a few cults in his time.
Probably not going to be an issue.
Hey, Satanic cults are the best form of cults!
Admittedly far fewer child brides involved than the many supposedly-Christian-based ones we keep finding.
Satan’s strike-zone might be a lot lower than his own age, but she’s gotta be old enough to commit her own sins!
Never ask questions you don’t want to know the answers to. Like, do fat bottomed girls really make the rockin’ world go round? (yes, yes they do)
Especially when they ride their bicycles. Cuz that was the b-side.
Spoken like a man that still has the treasured vinyl.
But, “Well Accshually” FBG/BR was a double A-side single, whatever that means.
Personally, the only bike song I recognise is the fifth track on the B-side of “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn”. Although I cant ever remember owning that album, odd.
The one that pops in my head is Bicycle Race by Queen.
Palms R us maybe?
Right across the road! For all your adulation needs!
From a local Catholic church, obvs.
Get some rest, will ya’?
Not only Catholic. Our own Protestant church has a stash of (plastic) palm leaves the children in our congregation use on Palm Sunday every year!
Really? Interesting. Thank you.
I shan’t, sadly. Shan’t!
Geez, you sound like me but with better excuses.
I’ll take that as a compliment.
It was meant as such.
Sure, and the churches most likely get them from a more local greenhouse as opposed to importing them from Africa.
It’s a fair question, Daphne, but there ARE answers.
Even sillier question given the fact that this particular park has a large tropical greenhouse.
Understandable 🙂
Line to spend a few hours fanning Phoebe forms here.
Whew, those dress slits, wow
Also, as always thank you for your service EG, we enjoy the comics and appreciate your efforts. Speaking for myself I will continue to check back to the comic even if you take a break (and you should if you need it), I also understand that your viewing statistics may say I’m in a minority with that opinion.
Well, I thank you for your dedication. Though I like to avoid even looking at viewing stats because it’s always a sinking number. So maybe taking a break would make little difference. Who knows?
It would make a big difference to this number… I’d miss ya!
Lord knows, I get needing a break, though.
Must be from a nearby arboretum…
There actually is a very sizeable greenhouse complex on the park grounds. So that’s the answer.
Nice.
Humm sounds like this is a real park. Presumably in Toranto… To google Earth!!!
Nope. This is Hamilton. It’s Gage Park. Big, pretty park situated in a rather … economically distressed area of the city.
Ah ha! I note that the greenhouses are specifically listed as Tropical Greenhouses as well. You have a remarkably high fidelity to realism for a comic featuring a demon and a talking canine/human.
That’s me. Realism never fails here.
They could be fake plastic Palm fronds.
Those can grow in ANY climate!
Grow? Plastic palm fronds don’t grow. However, they won’t fade either.
I live in Montreal, Quebec. We don’t have any Palm trees outside the Botanical Gardens (and some malls…), but you’d be surprised how easy it is to get real Palm fronds at any local florist shop.
There are always sources of everything.
Love and adulation will find a way . . .

You were so preoccupied with whether or not you could make that comment, that you didn’t stop to think if you should.

I am suddenly reminded of the overreaction my colleagues in creative writing class had to the excited reaction one of my characters had upon viewing the nearly erect Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Sometimes, people just like monuments, darn it!
Especially nearly erect ones.
You mean “full wood” ones.
Or, in the Tower’s case, a hardened white marble, richly veined.
Homeless guys waving palm fronds: “We’re your biggest fans.”
Ba dum dum tish.
The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not strangers to our land.
Are you saying that coconut palm fronds migrate?
Not at all…it could be carried.
By a plumber?
He could grip it by the stem.
ssshhhh…they’ll be blaming them on ‘gorebull warming’ and adding another tax
The fronds invade. Like fire ants.
Hmmmmm……
(a worthwhile response that seems erudite, but conceals confusion)
Who is Tuvix?
Tuvix was a person in Star Trek: Voyager that was formed via a transporter mishap involving Neelix (the ship’s cook and morale officer) and Tuvok the ship’s Security Officer and resident Vulcan.
Someone the crew of Voyager decided to kill because they liked Neelix and Tuvok better.
You don’t wanna go down the worshiped route.
Every time you try to talk to someone it’s “Forgive me” this and “Sorry” that and “I’m not worthy”.
I rather seriously doubt anyone would be averting their eyes from Phoebe.
Like the Ark of the Covenant.
I could see the dress Phoebe wearing be worn at an Academy Awards show. Maybe you missed your calling as dress designer.
This comic is (at least in part) about women’s fashion. And I could have certainly been a dress designer, if not for the fact that I’m a very straight, very unstylish male.
Sugoi indeed! Both Emily AND Phoebe!
Spring night, cherry blossom dawn.
That’s some Basho for ya.
Almost, ALMOST Haiku, bee.
OK, now it’s an American 767
Isn’t Puck traditionally a wood nymph?
Puck is traditionally … a magic being. Of some kind. Variously described as a fairy, a goblin, a ‘mad spirit’, etc. Puck predates clear magical being categorization.
The squirrel doesn’t seem to like Daphne. Somehow, I’m not surprised. :p
The feeling could be mutual.
Bad vibes coming from that one. Squirrels know.
Palm fronds in Canada? It’s global warming! (Or the florist shop.) :p
