Also possibly Billie’s nemesis. Seagulls make pretty good all-round nemeses, really.
I’ve been trying to figure out, on the basis of no real information, what I.T.N.G.U.T.I. is. My current best hypothesis is “Investigation: The Next Generation: Ultimate Teen Investigators”. (Double colon subtitles for quality!) It would follow Cecile, Humphrey, and their friends as they finally investigate what Wolfboy’s deal is.
In the U.S. we say “When the chickens come home to roost.” But, of all the things we can say about her, we can never claim that Lottie is chicken. Un Pájaro Loco perhaps. But never a Pollo Loco.
As much as I sympathize with Lottie’s seagull-related trauma, I fear defeating Seagull Smith will unleash a plague of undead vengeful sailors. As Willem Defoe’s character in The Lighthouse said, “best leave him be.”
I feel her trauma – a seagull mugged me for my last churro on Brighton pier. Smashed into the back of my head and yoinked it right out of my hand whilst I was dazed, the befeathered swine.
They are smart too (or at least smarter than me) and work in teams. I was eating fish and chips on the beach at Lyme Regis and the gulls kept edging towards me up the beach. If I chucked a pebble at them they’d hop back a few meters but immediately started edging forward again. This went on for a while until one zoomed in from behind and grabbed a chunk of fish right out of my hand as I picked it up from the carton. Bastard!
The area where I live is a former industrial area which had for years been taken over by gulls. It’s now been rebuilt as a residential area but the gulls still feel it’s theirs and they roost on the roofs and attack people on the top floors when they dare venture out onto their balconies. Gulls are sharp, pointy creatures.
I assumed that story was a poorly fabricated excuse she gave to Little Claire and had flushed it from my memory. I was girding myself for a deep dive into my Scary Go Round archive for the answer!
No! Lottie’s nemesis, SEAGULL!

Ultimate Teen Investigators is a lot better than what UTI usually stands for.
Rigged! Surely there must be a rule about adopting two wrestling personas!
The question is, does she get a new health bar when she changes persona?
And is this even her final form?
The answer is yes, both Lottie and Seagull got new health bars.
Seagull health bars? They would be golden, roughly finger sized, made of potato and deep fried?
I didn’t think that would make for a great comic.
IF anyone could make it work, John could. He’s a real whiz at such things!
I see what you did there.

Hmm, Shauna’s at Glasgow, isn’t she?

Obviously.
I did judo after school for a bit, and now I wish my yellow belt had ‘chips’ on it. That would have been rad.

El Pollo Loco? That’s a restaurant chain!
Still, a good showing from the New Kids.
Oh, no! Lottie has gone to the sunken place!!
Sadly the title for my new pirate dirge. If anyone wants to write lyrics as I play a somber note on the accordian I’d be honored.
I tried, but it just came out like a ripoff of Over the Hills and Far Away. (Gary Moore you Philistine, not Led Zeppelin.)
Yeah it’s hard. I tried and it just ended up being “Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm,” by The Crash Test Dummies.
Lottie’s one weakness!
It’s a real albatross around her neck.

Poor still traumatised Lottie, just when she was really enjoying the fight. Im afraid her career as a wrestler ends here.

“Whizzer” and “Chips” on the same page? Sacre bleu!
Man must stop acting a fool
You don’t wanna get slewed with a gull
I don’t care if a man is a big bull
You are just a shark in a swimming pool

I’m ashamed to say that wasn’t aware (or didn’t remember) Lottie’s fear of seagulls. Does anyone have a link to a relevant comic?
Beginning of this story. It’s Chekhov’s Seagull.
(Wonderful play. I understudied Konstantin.)
Ah, of course! I had totally forgotten about that. Very clever, John! 🙂

Dear John:
Please, for the love of all that is holy and a few other things, do not end this story with Lottie getting pooped on by a giant seagull.
Love, Danny
