Poor thing’s very upset, that’s for sure.
Having an angry Dread Pirate Queen standing over her with a cutlass couldn’t help.
And, yes, I noticed that Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor’s scabbard is on the wrong side. It’s been an exhausting month.
I hadn’t noticed the scabbard. Maybe she’s got a supercool maneuver where she sort of twirls the cutlass like a baton, grabs it with a reverse grip, and drives it home into the scabbard on her hand side. Of course, you wouldn’t actually show her doing this until Larry says “Um, isn’t your scabbard on the wrong—” Then she does it. Then she glares at him. Then the bottom half his tie falls to the floor.
He-hee! That is so Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor! You’ve got a real flair for this, Pops. I can totally see that happening.
Though I think she might just give him one of her winning smiles. You know, the “I Win” Eleanor thing.
That would be a formidable combination indeed. Our Eleanor’s savvy, combined with Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor’s penchant for murder and mayhem…
You know, you and Pops just gave me the jolt of inspiration I needed. I have the next couple strips written, but there was something “off” about the next one. And when something is “off” in the writing, I quite often can’t draw it. So, thanks to you both, I’m gonna go back to the writing board with some groovy new ideas.
In the meantime, I’ve got something pretty groovy to show you next time!
Uh-oh, indeed. Stephanie’s hair is lifeless. Not a good sign.

High praise! Thank you!
Winning smiles are the only kind Eleanor — any Eleanor — has. If she doesn’t win, she doesn’t smile.
To paraphrase: “If Eleanor ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.”
Hmmm, someone who, far from being intimidated with our Eleanor, could be actualy contemptuous of her. The possibities are fascenating. 🙂
Of course, it would be a very Groovy, Kinda kind of thing if the two Eleanors were to join forces….

So Pops and I are Muses? I’m taking first choice, so I want to be Thalia. 🙂
(Just imagine us in short togas–That oughta jog the old funnybone
^^ )
I could be a Steam Calliope…..
Okay, now you two are just being silly.
And there’s no room for silly in… oh, wait.
…ooh. That’s…not the best.
