A conversation never hurts
Darkness gathers… any resemblance between The Waterman and pop impressario Pete Waterman is, of course, purely coincidental. But I did read Pete Waterman’s autobiography a few years ago, and never have I encountered so many fantastic boasts.
Are D-Slide about to be warlocked into a contract?
Also I love the eldritch tendril grabbing an hors d’oeuvres.
Fancy Cape of Temptation.
Twas a long night of terrible storms. We lost full six men, but finally we rounded the Cape of Temptation. It were the fanciest cape in all the seven seas.
I mean
Charlotte must return to Solving somehow or the name of the series would be misleading imo
Unless!
A new spinoff
“Managing”
They could call it MBA perhaps.
Which as everyone knows stands for Mostly By Accident.
Then there could be various spin offs. MBA Tackleford, MBA Sheffield and MBA Tredregyn.
I think I’m on to something here.
Don’t forget MBA SCU (Special Clients Unit).
The villain from Interstella 5555 makes a surprise appearance!
I’m sure Donnie can win the next one. He just needs some incorrigement.
Of course, the slimy warlock couldn’t help but reach his tentacl out to those poor, impressionable young men and try to discredit Lottie! Gizmo seems to resist easily, but I’m afraid Nero is considering the offer. Meanwhile, Lottie and Donnie look so adorable♡.
You see, Lottie, this is why managers hover so closely to their charges. First, to defend them from predation. But Second, to give their charges the impression that they (The Manager) is indispensable and they they (The Manager) has your (the Talent) interests close to what can be loosely described as their “heart”.
it’s just a law of survivors, the only people left being managers are the ones who can effectively seem indispensable…
Joke’s on him. At best they’re only a one hit wonder.
They’re nothing without Go-Kart Conspiracy’s songs to adapt.
I miss Steeple
Don’t worry. It’s coming.
Skull ring, pentacle amulet, dark cloak and eldritch tentacles, we’re almost there.
I don’t think the Tinsley Sisters are enjoying their conversation.
The lord mayor seems to be very impressed with Henry Hubble, though.
“Is THIS your card?”
“No — but you asked with such CONFIDENCE!”
Come in here dear boy(s) have a cigar
You’re gonna go far
You’re gonna fly high
You’re never gonna die
You’re gonna make it if you try
They’re gonna love you…
“The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think!
Oh, by the way, which one’s Pink???”
Phil Oakey is also a fan of the Canine League apparently
Anyone else getting real Neil Gaiman’s Sandman vibes from that cloak and the bottom panel?
Also I hope Lottie has a good time with Donnie the Dog as I think this is the beginning of the end of her K-Pop managerial career.
I smell collusion. There’s a lot of room for dog treats in that warlock cape!
The ability to wrap your arm around 4 fellows is unspeakable evil, and should be a clear sign for the D-Slide boys.
Also, Teenie’s fire pants are fantastic.
That’s the long arm of the (out)law, all right.
Especially since it’s the same hand as the one near his face!
clout and charm: the true black magic(k)
Typical A&R guy. You sign a contract and all of a sudden you’ve got Satanic orgy clauses and demons coming out of a portal in the basement.
Charlotte’s always been a sucker for a chubby lil’ mutt.
Looks like Teenie is the one with something to worry about in management.
Well, if (the) Waterman snatches D-Slide away from Lottie, she can manage Donnie (the) Dog instead…
Someone in the commentariat called this a couple days ago — that The Waterman would steal D-Slide from Charlotte! Who was it?
Ah, found it! Rabisch & Andrew Hall. Spot on.
It was Rabisch all the way. I just found the idea of someone calling the band “The D-Sides” evilly delicious, so I riffed on it.
So is the Waterman’s dark aura snagging a horses doovers for it’s master, or itself?
