Ben defending Mal’s manners and style? Who’d have thought? (Good for him!)
I'M GOING TO ATTACK
It's hardly their fault they're so much better than all the Little People.
I foresee the twins triggering multiple instances of "Just when I thought I couldn't hate them more..." Starting today.
🤬let me at them…
“There is danger for him who taketh the tiger cub, and danger also for whoso snatches a roll-up from Jack O’Malley.”
Gotta get that dna somehow.
Do they sound like Team Rocket to anyone else?
They wish they had Jessie and James' Rizz!
Sort of, but without the charm.
If the last we see of these two is not their reaction to having a cart of manure just dumped on them, I will be very put-out.
The tricky part will be to make it happen right in front of all the nobility (who are unlikely to move near any carts of manure under their own power) ... but maybe better not during the actual coronation ...
... like, during the rehearsal ... "very nearb^H^H^H^H^H much within range of your potentially cart-flinging magic" ...
... I have to say, turning their waistcoat pockets into overflowing ashtrays would be a lot less magic-shenanigans-suggestive, though ...
Public humiliation is not enough. Only public disgrace, losing all their authority and privilege, will do. And even better, if they end up reporting to Ben, their new boss.
Nah - two Very Astonished toads hopping franticaloly to get out from underfoot.
ALSO: If that's their reaction to the O'Malley - what are they gonna think when Nyree turns up?
Nyree would effortlessly dismantle them, I would think.
But their reaction would be - probably over two or three panels - priceless. They'd probably try to handle like they think they're going to handle the O'Malley, and when they were brought up short ...
Ben would be absolutely delighted, too
Channeling Mark Twain in Roughing It, "Them folks need regulating."
Nah. Clarence Darrow
I have,
Oh, I hate them.
Those guys are assholes.
I can't wait to see these two flustered and at a loss for words.
Congrats Kate! You have created a pair of truly hateable characters. They are perfect, I can't wait to see their comeupance.
wow they keep getting worse somehow
wow, I hate them I hate them I hate theeeeem
I really do like that they speak for identical lengths.
No manners, coming from these two? That's rich.
Oh, you're thinking of politeness. Manners are a different matter entirely.
"You're course, vulgar and disruptive," they say while getting right in his face, pulling the cigarette from his mouth and aggressively buttoning his jacket.
"... say, this coat isn't a very good fit anymore, is it?"
"It's as good a fit as the day I bought it."
"You bought it a size that wouldn't allow the buttons to be done up??"
"I had a foreshadowing that I'd need defense against that kind of attack, yes."
"..."
With family like that - who even needs enemies anymore?
Man, what utterly repellant family.
I think you are having WAY too much fun drawing the twins.
Wow! I hate them already!
Saaaayyy, how well-known is it that Mal and Ben get along much better now? In other words, might the twins believe it if Mal were to act as if he'd much rather go solo?
"Waaaaiiit ... you mean this isn't just about putting up with the two of you for a couple days, but actually a chance to rid myself of all three Thacks in my side once and for all!? MUAHAHAAAA YOU SHOULD'VE LED WITH THAT!!!" [walks briskly back towards the rehearsal]
insufferable as these two are, they are not wrong and just did Jack a favor
Y' know, I think some visits to the twins from some allied Malforms (the purple hippo of happiness, Sid's magpie friend) might be just what these two need in their life.
Hey, y'know that pair of brothers that show up in Pokemon Sword and Shield after the main game that claim to be the true heirs to the royal line? With the really stupid haircuts?
Same vibes, honestly.
I doubt this is it, but if the twins took the crown in their over the top arrogance of being able to get away with it, I'm going to be so grumpy.
This would be an interesting Anime version of Harriet Barber:
