Now that’s the smart way to start deceiving your friends. Start with the easiest person first. Sure, Stephanie will go along with it. I wonder if Edison feels guilty for misleading her? Maybe she thinks that, hey, Stephanie will make new friends and get to go to a wedding, so what’s the harm?
Now, trying to trick Eleanor is a whole ‘nother thing. Who knows? Maybe she’ll just come clean and accept the consequences?
We’ll find out in a while. Meantime, the gals are gonna stop in to Innesmount’s finest used bookstore for a little food and apologies. And more groovy 70s fashion!
Also, a couple of shoutouts to some fine comics and creators: Hjels, of course, all-around great guy and creator of the magnificent “October 20th,” which is really ramping up the horror and action and everything else right now. And Odessa, from the fine “Blighted: The Odyssey,” a comic you really need to get hooked on (an easy thing to do).
Hi Charlie
GREAT STRIP!
Mike Curtis
DICK TRACY
Thank you Mike! High praise indeed-Mike Curtis is the writer of the syndicated newspaper strip “Dick Tracy!”
What you may not know is that Mike and I have a comic history together. Back when I was doing “Lyssa and the Pirates,” I was also doing some short stories for Mike’s anthropomorphic classic “Shanda the Panda (a book you really need to check out).
If you like, I could post some art from Shanda sometime.
Mike and I also share a deep and abiding affection for Dan DeCarlo and his great Betty & Veronica and Josie and the Pussycats work. In fact, Mike gave me Dan’s phone number and I had the great honor and pleasure of speaking with The Man himself.
Thank you Mike, for checking out Groovy, Kinda, and for all the wonderful things you’ve done!
Hey, write me a story and I’ll give it a shot!
Man, that Hjels guy is something of an entrepreneur. First the bait shop, now the bell shop. (Which made me laugh, by the way)
As for Edison tricking Eleanor, well… I REALLY don’t see it happening. Not gonna say it’s impossible, but dang, is it hard.
Glad I could provide a chuckle, my friend. Yeah, this Hjels guy sure has his fingers in a lot of pies around Innesmount. Who knows what crazy thing he’ll come up with next.
Tricking Eleanor could be next to impossible. Especially in this situation. We’ll see what Edison decides to do in a while. There’s going to be some stops along the way first…
