Oh that Anya. Always with the baked goods.
Can you blame her? Her lover’s best friend has come back after 2 years. Of course she’s insecure and jealous.
I wonder how this is going to play out…okay, well, I know how it is. But you’ll have to wait until next time to find out!
UPDATE: I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while longer. I have to redraw an entire panel. I’ll get it done as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.
Damn it Charlie, too much good art and storytelling.
Love Robie in panel three!
Riding in a car is like flying for Robespierre…
Thank you! It’s funny, though. He’s flying, but it doesn’t have much of a sense of motion because of Stephanie’s hair.
When I saw the title I was a bit worried. But, all is well and she’s smiling!
Everybody’s smiling but Eleanor…
I think Anya is fretting needlessly, and the biggest danger she faces is making a fool of herself. Lyssa wouldn’t get into hanky-panky shenanigans with Eleanor, right? Unless something’s happened since the end of Lyssa and the Pirates.
Nope. Lyssa wouldn’t fool around with Eleanor. Not that Eleanor hasn’t tried in their younger days.
Anya is insecure. Now Mistress has a rival for her attention. She’s afraid that she’s going to get left out.
Plus, she likes Lyssa, and she wants to see her and this Pirate Guy of hers.
She could’ve called, sure, but maybe, by showing up unexpected, she might goad Mistress Eleanor into punishing her. In a fun way…
Aww man! Edison’s back! I wonder how she and Lyssa will get on? And do I sense a love triangle?? The story gets better and better! 😀
I just love how you draw people interacting. I can feel how warm and fuzzy that hug from panel 2 is.
Thanks, mj! I’m always worried about drawing two people together.
Edison is going to love having someone pregnant to fuss over and dish out advice to.
And Lyssa will have someone who’s had a baby to talk to. And she’ll love telling embarrassing stories about Larry.
Hee, hee, “…unheralded surprise.” What a nice way to put it.
So nice that I’m afraid it went right over Anya’s head (not that she ever hears what she doesn’t want to , of course). 😀
If she isn’t picking up on Eleanor’s less-than-thrilled expression she’s not going to get any of it…
I’m afraid that Eleanor is going to have to make her displeasure even clearer…
On the other hand, Bismarcks…
Something tells me Eleanor isn’t in a clown cosplay mood tonight.
Also, Edison’s hickey comment made me giggle like a schoolgirl, which I’m 74% sure is probably the correct reaction to at least half of the jokes in this comic anyway.
Thanks for reminding me; the hickey comment is my favorite line…
Thank you both. That was a last minute addition by Edison.
I’m hoping we get more time with Stephanie, Larry, AND Edison. Is their Polyamorus triad just Stephanie/Edison and Larry/Edison, or could there be a possibility for Stephanie/Larry/Edison? I don’t need graphic details…But on second thought, it would be nice to see some more smooching among the group.
Here’s the breakdown as far as I can see:
Stephanie and Edison are both in love with Larry.
Larry is in love with Edison and is attracted to Stephanie, but he’s hesitant to get involved with her because he’s with Edison.
Edison is in love with Larry and is attracted to Stephanie, but she’s not quite ready to deal with that and wants to keep a lid on things for now. She’s also got a lot of emotional baggage that’s holding her relationship with Larry back, but she’s in the process of resolving it.
Stephanie loves both Larry and Edison, albeit in a naive manner.
Given the information above and what we saw in the epilogue, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to see the three of them being in a simultaneous relationship. Before that can work, though, Edison has quite a few personal problems to overcome, Stephanie has some maturing to do, and Larry needs to learn how to take care of both of them a little better, particularly when it comes to dealing with Edison’s drinking problem. He’s very in over his head right now.
At least, that’s how it seems to be so far. Heaven knows Charlie loves to be unpredictable, so I could be waaaaay off.
Nope, melaredblu, you’re spot on. You’ve summed it up pretty darn well.
Cliff, you’re right. We’re waaaay overdue for that kiss from Larry that Stephanie’s been hoping for.
And now that Edison is back, with her navel hangy thingy that drives Stephanie goofy, I’m sure it won’t be long before she suggests it.
lol – “overdue.”
Speaking from the distant future, I can only suggest that some things need to simmer a while. (I’ve forgotten some stuff so I decided to take a trip down memory lane again. It’s always fun! 😀 )
Isn’t it fun to archive dive and see where some stuff started? Trust me, I had no id-I mean, yes, I planned this all along. Uh-huh.
Not a word about Eleanore, I notice, which is not surprising…
