A lab assistant would report all their hugely unethical poo poo to the authorities and get them all sent to the chair.

I bet they could do some kind of mind control, while also playing it off as cool and good.

So no John Allison comic today, but here's what he posted on his Steeple site about the new comic starting next Monday;

Also from his Instagram, a Lottie pic;

and finally, this old comic from 2011 that Allison did for Saveur, featuring a Bad Machinery era Lottie and Mildred making Toad-in-the-Hole;

Just hire a regular loving lab assistant, you creep!

If she wanted simple solutions, she'd just have used the successful youthening formula she demonstrated a week or so before this storyline started.

Besides, hiring someone from outside means that they might find out about all the genetic magic research they're hiding from the world and actively suppressing.

I'm glad to see Modesty Blaise itt again.

Classic Kevin & Kell in: anniversary (September 12-18, 2005)

I'll be a pedant and point out that, since for the first year or so the strip was M-F only, it's not the tenth anniversary of continuous appearances. But details.

Took us about a year and a half to cover ten years of strips. We have seventeen more years to go. (Though I may stop at the point where Classic K&K becomes Modern K&K, even if I don't know when that'll be.) And, just to note, we're already past the point where I'd stopped reading this strip regularly as it was running, so it's mostly unknown territory for me too going forward. :getin:

, folks, and let's go.

Night Visitors

Another culturally-embedded one. It refers to a famous (and famously weird) old folk tale, the Story of the Crab and the Monkey:

The Crab and the Monkey posted:

While out walking, a crab finds a rice ball. A sly monkey persuades the crab to trade the rice ball for a persimmon seed. The crab is at first upset, but when she plants and tends the seed a tree grows that supplies abundant fruit. The monkey agrees to climb the tree to pick the fruit for the crab, but gorges himself on the fruit rather than sharing it with the crab. When the crab protests, the monkey hurls hard, unripe fruit at her. The shock of being attacked causes the crab to end up giving birth just before she dies.

The crab's offspring seek revenge on the monkey. With the help of several allies � a chestnut, a cow dung, a bee, and an usu (large heavy mortar) � they go to the monkey's house. The chestnut hides himself on the monkey's hearth, the bee in the water pail, the cow dung on the floor, and the usu on the roof. When the monkey returns home, he tries to warm himself on the hearth, but the chestnut strikes the monkey so that he burns himself. When the monkey tries to cool himself from the burn at the water bucket, the bee stings him. He tries to run out of the house, but the cow dung makes him slip and the usu falls down from the roof, killing the monkey by crushing his heart, causing him to bleed out and die.
