Uh-oh. That’s not good.
How long can he keep from freezing? What would happen to a Robespierrsicle? What is he, anyway?
Monday-will Stephanie get to Robespierre in time? Will Edison realize what happened and rescue him first? If she does, will Stephanie find out what happened? What will Larry do?
So many questions!
Ack! Edison, open the door! Poor Robie, his eyes in that last panel are just the saddest thing ever…
I do like that ice cream container, though.
It’s Happy Clown brand Ice Cream!
I scream, you scream, we all scream when the Happy Clown comes to town!
Aw, man! It had to be one of those 70’s jobs with the actual latch that makes it impossible to push open! I wouldn’t bet on Edison realising her mistake in time, so I hope Stephanie’s incessant worrying kicks in in time.
Oh, I’m REALLY hoping this isn’t a set-up for a truly ancient joke…
I’ve been racking my brain over “ancient jokes involving refrigerators, and I’m coming up blank.
Other than: “How can you tell if an elephant’s been in your refrigerator?
There’s footprints in the cheesecake!”
I don’t want to tell the joke here if it IS what you have in mind. Do you have an e-mail addy I could send it to?
Okay, I sent it. You have been warned.
You’ were right. It was terrible. But very clever. Thank you for that!
You’re quite welcome. At some point, I’ll share the joke with the class.
“Dave is going to tell everyone what’s so funny, aren’t you Dave??”
Nope those aren’t sad eyes more like; “Not Again!” eyes.
It’s gonna be Larry to the rescue, and maybe this is a wake up call to Edison from Stephanie.
And I thought the green demon traumatized me enough.
That’s just cruel, Charlie. You did that on purpose, when you saw our reaction to Robspierre!
I’m hoping sextopi like Robspierre have a good tolerance to cold. I’m thinking a scarf and knit hat would be cute when the door opens again…
Edison will be heading off to Rehab after this and it will not be a happy time for her. Her son is NOT going to be happy to see her and it will hurt her worse than this episode.
She will in all honesty say that she did not see him or know he (Robspierre)
got in the freezer.
Robspierre will get though it ok, if a bit chilly. Stephanie on the other hand.. . and who will Larry help, get angry at or hinder.
or will Reade find Eleanor’s book?
Same groovy time, same groovy channel.
Er, have you been reading The Demon Archives again, Charlie?
Hehe. Delta-v! I don’t kill everyone! Didn’t you see today’s page? 😛
You’re quite right, of course. You guys spared a good 3% to 4% of the total cast revealed to date 🙂 I was just teasing him (and you) about the differences between the comics. I still love both for what they are.
I read The Demon Archives all the time!
And I know how upsetting it can be to see a major character die (see also October 20th), or almost die, or die and come back, or…
Anyway, you’ll see what happens soon enough.
I really like the impact of that last panel. The focus of the page darkens panel by panel until the total darkness closes in. The impending doom is intense.
Um, is that a “tramp stamp” on Edison’s back, or is that another piece of Stephanie that no one has noticed yet?
It’s a Tra-I mean, lower back tattoo. Edison has no idea how she got it. She woke up after a bender and there it was.
You saw it first here.
It kinda looks like the icon for the 2 on Cosmic Wimpout dice…
Oh, dear. Charlie you magnificent music lover. I don’t recall if this has been mentioned yet but miss Edison Lighthouse used to be named Rosemary. Fun fact: The group Edison Lighthouse had a wonderful and catchy tune titled “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)”
Sweet Fancy Molasses!
Thank you!
And Rosemary’s last name is Pipkin, and the lead singer for the Pipkins (“Gimmie Dat Ding”) was the same lead singer for Edison Lighthouse.
“That’s right! That’s right!”
Off in distant alternate alternate plane, a hen is screaming “Robespierre!!!!” and running around the barnyard….
Curse you Charlie. Now i have to remember where we stashed our old 45s to see if i kept “Gimmie Dat Ding”. pretty sure i still have “Tennesee Birdwalk”…
