And with that, the third intermission ends. I hope we all learned sumthin'.Mostly about Jakes, Egyptians, and drunks. I'm sure there's a moral in there, somewhere.
Things are startin' t'get just a little bit crazy. Hope you're cool with that.
Next up: Chapter 4. Hold on!
...
Uncle Shep is a horrible little weed of a man who needs a slap, but I couldn't help but have my heartstrings tugged at the last panel of this page.
Nice work, Spike.
Aww, that's strangely...kinda horrible.
On an unrelated note, how often do you hear that you're a genius? Probably not enough. Looking forward to chapter 4 :)
Glad you're feeling better, and ready to start on Chapter 4.
As for things getting a little bit crazy, I've made sure my seat belt is securely fastened and my seat back and tray table are in the upright position. I'm ready to go!
Wow, that is actually really touching. Congrats on making me feel that odd mix of cuteness and shock you seem to put together so nicely.
What's the deal with Uncle Shep's eyebrows? Did he shave them off?
Aww, I really like this personal touch for the guy... he's a haughty, snivelling jerk... and then it turns out he misses his pet, and wants to embalm him.
Kind of reminds me of a certain comic artist... Is there something of yourself in here Spike?
Would Merit enter the afterlife ahead of him if he were embalmed before Shep died? 'Cause... after looking at your entry about embalming your rat, I have to wonder how well embalming Merit would work once Shep's dead.
IIRC, Egyptian priests went to great efforts to remove all hair. Including apparently plucking their eyelashes. Intense.
I don't know about anyone else, but I got a little misty after reading this comic. So touching that he wanted his beloved dog with him in the afterlife.
