I absolutely have biscuits! I would give you biscuits!
Thank you I am waaaaay too happy with that answer and drawing. And O'Malley's casual 'eh so what he's useful'. And Harry calmly walking out while Nicola goes beserk. :)
Mal so needs to keep the Purple Hippo of Happiness as a pet/office assistant . . .
Does this mean the PHoH is going to be in future story arcs? Please say yes.
I would love to hear the story of harry's time in the police and serving under her sister.
Oh man, the scenes with Harry and Nicola are great and provide good back story. But I just burst out laughing at Voss at the end.
Harriet Barber: Gives less [I have no idea if the f-bomb is allowed here]s than a koala in the rain.
Eeh, so gren was a police dog ?

Good job O'malley, teaching your new friend the ways of the world~
I dread to imagine what it looks like when an invisble malform starts eating biscuits. And as for the rest of the digestion process...
Thinking back, the hunger malform was eating too and the food became invisible when it ate it, so maybe not so much fun after all.
Although PHOH doesn't say he was actually going to eat the biscuits. Maybe Mr O'Malley is getting him to tread them into the carpet just to annoy Mr Thackeray.
May be PHOH makes replicas of famous monuments from them? York Cathedral in Digestives. :)
cough It's a Minster, not a Cathedral (minsters are both bigger... well, usually... and serve slightly different administrative and liturgical roles). Durham has a cathedral, though: and, it's more architecturally interesting than York's overgrown tumour of a Minster. buffs her fighting words ;)
By the way, I was born in York and know the Harrogate and Pocklington areas well. I still stand by that statement! (But, if you want a cute cathedral, go to Ripon; if you want perplexingly confusing as to why it's even there, go to Beverley's Minster. Harrogate is only good for shopping and wondering how you spent so much. To complete a regional stonepileathon, hit Fountains and Rievaulx Abbies. Ignore. Leicester. We're not talking to Leicester. We won't forgive Leicester: you know what you've done! It's the House of York, you thieves: he should be on the Abbey grounds and you know it!)
Haha, I love Durham cathedral. I went to uni there, lived right next to it.
Collingwood College for me: wandering to Psychology for 9 am Monday lectures with a zombie gait had, at least, one compensation. Seeing the Cathedral during the seasonal changes. And, marking the advance and retreat of the scaffolding. ;)
Haha, my husband was in Collingwood. I was in Chads, the one with the crap bar but nice view. Psychology was the one with the killer hill you had to climb, right?
Cardiac Hill they call it, don't they?
It's weirdly gratifying for a conversation in a webcomic comments to be about my workplace.
Haha, Cardiac Hill indeed! I had it easy, I was in Elvet Riverside for English Language. Nice, non-hilly, Elvet Riderside.
Shut up. grumble grumble
I remember Cardiac Hill! I didn't have many lectures up there and boy was I glad about that. (I seriously had no idea what I was starting here- Is half the readership ex-Durham or current-Durham?)
Seems that way! I graduated something like ten years ago though, so I might not have been around at the same time.
Hell, I dunno if I'd be making comics if not for Durham, Darken was based on a game we played in GameSoc!
I started there 9 years ago, we might have just missed each other. And...yeah there's a lot of things I wouldn't be doing now if not for Durham.
Cardiac. Hill. shudders Muggins over here did Anthropology as a subsid. Riverside lectures. With a back-to-back... up... that... effing... hill. >_<
Wait a tick: Chads. You met him in Collingwood Bar, right? ;) Meh: better than Mary's. xD
Oh, much more embarrassing- We met in Anime Soc :P
Cuths on the Bailey. One of the sober ones. Honest. :)
'ey, I was right next door, practically! Cuths had the best bar, had a fair few brownie bombers there.
Yeah: I guess here is where one of us fesses up to how other universities battle drugs. But, Durham produces more liver failure. :P
Speaking of: never did the full challenge, me. Not in one go, at least. ;)
You are not alone
Yeeah it was the penguin that did it, honest. Chads? Damn small world. We might well have walked past each other on the street every week but I'm guessing the first time we talked was years later at Thought Bubble- I miss Durham. The south sucks.
Lol, I stand corrected. As someone who a) went to Durham uni and b) has a partner from York I should have known better there! (Also I agree, Durham Cathedral is about the prettiest building in Britain).
The real horror would depend on the nature of the biscuits. Biscuits do not crumble equally, after all. ;)
Harriet Barber gives no hoots.
Voss did it for the Lulz? Up to a certain point anyway.
haha, Gren knows where the fun's at.
(and...if you happen to have a little free time...could we maybe have a sketch of the O'Malley giving the PHoH a biscuit ((pretty please)))?
I love Voss's response. It's a good response.
I love the Q&A panels! Much as I look forward to the next chapter, I'll miss them. ^^
By the way, who else thinks that the next story will be one from the past of the famous grandparents?
Voss: I think that they're asking "Why" in regards to everything you
did... Why did you allow this to go as long as you did? (We have some
inklings as to why it started...few would have had the strength of will
to refuse Invidia once summoned at an Anchor the way you inadvertently
summoned him...) I'm impressed that you found the courage (and yes, it
was...) to actually resist Envy as you did. You have more in you as
virtues than you give yourself credit. Shouldn't you contemplate that
instead of the pity-party you've got going on? You did wrong. You know
you did wrong. Now, do something uplifting for yourself and others that
actually makes for pennance for it. :-D
Heh... Now I'm jonesing for a story about Harry quitting the Force, in light of the initial explanation and her getting Gren as part of the "quit" even though she shouldn't have.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PURE JOY
EVERYTHING
I CAN'T EVEN PICK IT IS SERIOUSLY 100% PERFECT EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME
But I will say my absolute favorite part is that it is now OFFICIALLY CANON that they are keeping the purple hippo of happiness.
this is much fun! the character questions crack me up. and yes, Ben, it is wise to Fear teh Fangirls!! is quite respectful of them himself
I love that Omalley explained to the Hippo about demanding payment and insisted on giving the adorable little thing biscuits ^^
Currently tearing through the archives in my free time, but had to pause (and overcome my natural inclination to avoid commenting on things) to declare that as the oldest daughter and sole law enforcement professional in a family with four children (three girls, one boy), these interactions between Nicola and Harry are pretty much perfect. Though fair warning to poor Nicola, one day the sister that scorned your profession will come back telling you that she's changed her mind, and aren't you glad, and everyone will not understand why you slammed your head through your desk, must you always be so dramatic, Batty--I mean, Nicola....
