When you're studying magic, you learn how to phrase your deals as to avoid damn fool errors like this.

Added two convention appearances to the lineup at the bottom there, come along and say hello and perhaps pick up a book!

Cast: Benjamin Thackerey, Jack O'Malley, Ms Fairbairn

    The first rule of magic: I will watch my damn mouth.


    The second rule of magic: No deals. ESPECIALLY not with demons.


    The third rule of magic: Assuming I break the second rule, I will WATCH MY DAMN MOUTH.


    Also, Sloth in that last panel is exceptionally creepy. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the mouth. And maybe the expression.

    Last panel. Sloth. Legitimately terrifying. I will never look at manatees the same way ever again.

      There's a reason they call them "deadlies"... Something Fairbairn should've thought long and hard about before starting this little plan of hers...

    Why, Grandma. What large teeth you have.

      Indeed. "Nuked from orbit," is the vision I have here.

    Ah, boo. She's going to die after all. That's no fun. :P

      Not before she suffers debilitating insanity and exhaustion due to sleep deprivation!

        Ah, but she's got this coming...I saw this one happening the moment that she tried to cold-cock Ben.

    O'malley: Yoink!

    Wow, she's stupid.

    • svartalf 14 years ago archived

      I'd have said that of her just based off of her plans...

    I love Mal giving her the two-fingered salute in the second-to-last panel.

      I just spotted it. Completely justified my marathon reread.

    I can't even quite laugh. That's a horrifying situation.
