Ouch. Eleanor’s being particularly…Eleanorish to poor Lyssa. What’s going on? Will she ever come around?
Here’s a clue: the future, vampire Eleanor made her opinion of babies quite clear.
On the other hand, she sure looks like she’s comfortable holding one. Almost like she didn’t hate it as much as she put on.
Okay, enough clues. More will be revealed in the next exciting installment!
Oooooooh, the thick plottens!
Oh and Panel one………superb art!
Thank you, kind sir. It was a lot of fun to draw. I don’t draw the house on Hallow e’en Boulevard nearly as much as I’d like to.
I think this calls for a minimum safe distance.
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! 🙂
That might be the easy way, but it wouldn’t be the pirate way!

We’ll get an idea of the result very soon.
Could be worse; at least she isn’t carrying a big pipe wrench…
She’d never use it on Lyssa. She loves her too much.
Eleanor would smash something, lose her grip, and hit Allen.
I can think of a couple of rejoinders that Lyssa could use to set Eleanor back on her heels. I’ll be interested to see if she’ll sink low enough to use them. 🙂
Such as..?
1. “I have a different relationship with children than you do.”
2. “I believe that my genes deserve to be perpetuated.”
If I wait until my spleen refills, I could probably come up with more. ^^
1. “Yes. Yes you do, my love. You’ve always been so much more tolerant of filth and immaturity than moi. I suppose my greatest failing is my inability to suffer fools gladly.”
2.) “Oh Lyssa, how delightfully masochistic! Of course you do, my dear. They’re wonderful genes.
When I die, however, I hope to make the world suffer by my absence.”
or
2) “If it’s immortality you’re after, darling, you just stick around. You know how I take care of those I love.”
True, but # 1 referred to Jacob and Esther. 😉
” Oh, have you shared your opinion with them? I’m sure they’d find it ……..enlightening. No? Oh, do let’s. I’d love to see their faces!”
2. “They might, until all the other old people die off.”
Can’t wait for my Lyssa and the Pirates book to come in so I can get the full context of these pages
Yeah, you’re in for a treat. What Charlie may not have told you is that it’s just as funny as Groovy, Kinda. 🙂
It always makes me laugh! I don’t know why, but the writer and I just seemed to “click” when it comes to humor.
Thank you Dv. I’m glad you’re liking it.
No, no, no! “liking” is far too drab and pale a word to use. “Loving” barely suffices. 🙂
Excellent! I’m waiting excitedly for my copy, too.
Carve out some reading time, you’ll need it! 🙂
Now that’s just not classy. Come on Eleanor, you’ve already proven you’re the resident master–only Anya uses Mistress–of snarky put-downs. Why do you have to be so crass as to mock her figure and call Edison a cow? Bad form, Eleanor.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. This is alot less clever and biting than she usually is. The Edison thing was pretty crass. Could be that she needs another tactic to get to Lyssa though. Maybe she’s privvy to her usual shenanigans.
“Bad form” is exactly the term she would use on someone who spoke like this to her. Possibly on the way to the hospital, if they were still conscious.
And, to be fair, Eleanor did:
1) stay up late the night before, playing clown games with a “sick friend,”
2) take a giant pipe wrench to Simon’s office,
3) get a sort of talking-to by Rad Sampson,
4) reunite with her long-lost best friend,
5) get Miranda and Caliban settled with Miffy, and
6) take a long bath with everyone.
She’s had a busy day.
Plus, you know, the brain tumor.
There’s a few more issues involved, but we’ll get to them in the future.
It has the slow bitchy feel of jealousy to me. Plus, y’know, the brain tumor. But yeah, there’s some serious claws coming out here. Eleanor is the kind of person I tend to avoid, because I hate being angry, so my take on her is fairly superficial, but I am wavering between jealousy of someone who’s “best friend” has moved on without her, and someone who carries an unrecognized desire to have what the other one has.
