The Reverend is also fighting an endless battle against monsters from the sea and this may actually just be an enormous and bigoted misunderstanding passed down through centuries, and the other major Satanists (well, only one of them, the bald one Tom) hate Billie for adding structure and things like bake sales and sing-alongs to their gatherings and rituals.

That's Maggie, previously a priestess-in-training with the Church of Satan. At the end of the first Steeple series, she and Billie (who was new in town to work with the Reverend for the good ol' Church of England) essentially swapped places. Maggie now lives in one of the church buildings in exchange for helping the Reverend and Mrs. Clovis. e:f;b etc.

I think the older woman is the resident monster-battling clergyman's housekeeper. But is the other one the new curate, or just some pastor-groupie, or what? Hostile V and JethroMcB summed it up pretty nicely. At the end of the first Steeple comic series, Maggie left the Church of Satan and sought sanctuary with Rev. Penrose and Mrs. Clovis(the housekeeper) at the rectory. Even before that however Maggie made it clear that she finds Rev. Penrose attractive. Also while both Steeple and the Tackleford comics (Bad Machinery, Bobbins) are written and drawn by John Allison, Steeple is seperate from the whole overarching Tackleford soap opera. Steeple was originally a print comic that ran for five issues in late 2019. Later in 2020 Allison drew some webcomics picking up where the print run left off. The only connection is the Author Unknown? story I posted previously, which saw Shelley Winters(Bobbins) and Lottie Grote(Bad Machinery) visit Tredregyn. If you want to read the Steeple webcomics, they can be found here. Allison also has a Steeple character guide here. If you want to read the print comic, you'll have to follow the link JethroMcB posted and shell out the $12.

No. I think it's explained in a later story that the human part of her split off from Mordawwa and that's the Erin we see here, but she remerges into one being before being deposed as queen of hell later on, and the Erin we see in the final case is her back on Earth for good. The story of how and why Erin went to hell in the first place was really weird and completely underserved.

Darthemed posted:Popcom It's easy to miss, but Scribbly is actually original material done up to look like a Sunday page, as written and drawn by a 19 year-old future industry legend named Sheldon Mayer. Wikipedia posted:In 1936, Mayer worked for Max Gaines, one of the pioneers of modern comic books, and the teenager's job was to cut and paste comic strips from the Sunday comics pages into a comic book layout, which Gaines would sell to Dell Comics, to publish in one of their anthology books. Along with the recut strips, Mayer included a one-page strip of his own, Scribbly the Boy Cartoonist, and this was published in Dell's Popular Comics #6 (July 1936), alongside established strips like Smokey Stover, Winnie Winkle and Harold Teen. Jean-Paul Gabilliet said: "[Mayer] presented all the pages as Sunday panels because, at the time, the fact that a strip had previously appeared in a newspaper was perceived as an indicator of quality". Scribbly strips also appeared in Dell's The Funnies later in 1936. Mayer worked for Max Gaines, and when Gaines struck out on his own to found All-American Comics, Mayer followed him. Gaines' company eventually merged with National Publications to form DC Comics, which is how Scribbly Jibbet, the boy cartoonist who made it to press before Superman, made the cut for Earth 2 (and is still showing up in the DCU). Sally Forth    Pearls Before Swine    Skippy (December 22-23 and 25, 1933)    Peanuts (August 14-16, 1974)    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhahahahaahaha (d/b/a Funky Winkerbean)    Crankshaft    Mutt And Jeff    Rip Haywire    Thimble Theater (March 12, 14-15, 1938)    Out Our Way (March 4-6, 1937; first one spoilered out of a vague sense of unease (because of the usual troubles))    Dok's "Kissing Hands and Shaking Babies" Duck (September 21, 1913)  Little Lefty (February 25-27, 1935)    The Making of America Daily Worker collection just stops the day after this one for some reason, and up until an hour or so ago I thought we were going to be waving goodbye to this sliver of a socialist American dream that never quite came together as planned. But I've got a new lead, so see you tomorrow, fellow travelers!

See this is why I never understood when people said they didn't like the supernatural stuff in Bad Machinery, it's always been a part of that world.

But if he never got married again, who would make his meals and console him when he missed St Lisa? HIS DAUGHTER? Actually I am amazed she doesn't appear more in the strip.

Yeah, in that story the supernatural elements seemed much more bleak and malicious than the impartial chaos they'd represented in earlier arcs. The conclusion also indulges in the nasty habit of ending a storyline abruptly with no sign of resolution for some of the characters, leaving the reader just having to hope that eventually the author will abruptly bring the abandoned characters back into the spotlight in the coming months or years.

That first Lisa’s Story Trailer strip has her start a sentence in panel 1 inside, and finish it at the park in panel 3. I assume the intervening scene was Les and Lisa killing zombies or something because this movie seems boring as hell as depicted.

That, and I was thinking of how Erin's school principal/demonic necromancer, Alisatair Crowley, magically hypnotized Erin into marrying him. It was a real weird story compared to the rest.

'Unsullied decency' is not a descriptor I'd use for Kevin or any of the Dewclaws. I know there's faith in people's good nature, but what does faith in people's basic nature mean anyway? If it's how Kevin believes in Species Has Characteristic stereotyping, then yeah I can see that. Bibliotechno Music posted:Classic Zits Hector secretly talking with Sara so they could turn around and tease Jeremy is a great way of resolving this. Classic Zits has been a real joy.  I also can't see Dustin doing anything like this; Probably the woman would've walked away in disgust from Dustin, meanwhile Fitch stands around uselessly and makes a comment that reinforces as an idiot.
