Whoa.
Well, Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor didn’t get where she is by being soft. But… Mancanilla?! Say it ain’t so!
You’ll find out next time.
Author’s Note: I just had to comment on that last panel. Originally I was going to have a shot of Building 7, with a loud “BANG.” But then I got a mental picture of Allen in bed and the “BANG” far off. Then I thought that he’d probably have visitors, and since Caliban’s at Sampson Enterprises, Miranda would stop by. And then she’d eat all his candy. So why not have Miffy with her? The rest is, well, you see.
OK, I know she didn’t just put a slug through Mancanilla’s naval neanderthal brain, but I hate having to wait an entire WEEK to find out what DID just happen!
(My guess is Stephanie’s mad rush through the Discombobulationotron caused the pistol to discharge. Possibly harmlessly. Possibly into Stephanie, but still harmlessly, which would leave our Dread Pirate Queen a trifle nonplussed, I’m sure. Yeah, I like that idea.)
(Everybody else ought to chime in with THEIR guesses about what is to be revealed. We can make it a contest.)
I only reflexively try to guess what’s to come in my favorite series, because I’m almost always wrong, and the reality is always several orders of magnitude better than anything I would ever have come up with.
Thank you for those kind words, and Hi tadrow!
Something else to ponder: What’s to keep Eleanor from killing Lyssa’s crew when they leave?
Remember, Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor came this close to killing Lyssa herself (in Blue Moon: The Adventures of Lyssa and the Pirates).
Long past time for a reread of Blue Moon, then.
Goody!
Dang, she really is vicious. Makes you appreciate just how kind, gentle and humble OUR Eleanor is, right?
Got that right, brother. Compared to The Dread Pirate Queen Eleanor, “Soft” Eleanor is a sweet cupcake with happiness frosting and sunshine sprinkles.
Kink sprinkles, but sprinkles none the less.
“Kinky Sprinkles” would be a fantastic character name. Sounds like someone in a glam band.
