A marvellous ruse (Wobbly Head part 2 concludes)
Is this Chekhov’s gun? Fingers crossed, it’s just Bitsy’s father’s service revolver. Farewell for now, Shauna, but we’ll see you again in April for KILL OR BE QUILT from Dark Horse Comics.
Part 3 of Wobbly Head begins on Monday!
Something has happened, the Scrabble is in disarray.
That just indicates what a good game it was.
I notice someone just got FIZZWATER on a triple word score (99 points, or 129 if Dean had a double). That would cause me to throw the board in the air too
So the letters on the board face-up are A B E E T (the X is a wild-card). If I say “Aha!” I am sure John will claim that they were randomly chosen and to stop looking for clues where there are none. And I will say, “Get out of my head!” and then the people in the white coats will come to help. And John will gloat and reach in to one of his many hampers.
Axe Bet? Beat ex? Beate X, international jewel thief?
Only the letters ABEET are actually on the table. And Beate is a girl’s name (at least in Danish) that cold be made from those letters. Proper nouns aren’t allowed in Scrabble, of course, but they ARE allowed in CLUES!
Has Lottie had any runs-in with anybody named Beate? Not that I recollect but I’m old and confused.
BEE TAX, Lottie’s not the target at all. Inland Revenue has gotten wind of Dean’s entomological schemes.
The hampers! The hampers!
Perhaps this indicates the involvement of one of the Beet Poets.
I everyone okay?! I sense that they are not okay!! And must wait until next week to find out!!! 😱
Looking at the upcoming titles, I have a disturbing feeling that Part 3 is going to be a flashback to Lottie and Claire’s ski adventures, and we’re going to be left in suspense on the outcome of the Scrabble game until Part 4.
!!!!!!
Things are definitely very, very bad!
There’s some liquid on the Scrabble board, which will soak in and ruin it, and some poor bugger’s got only an ‘X’ to play
…Dire
Now, this is a real cliffhanger.
If she has killed Dean, that’s okay. We need less ‘portrait/vertical monitor’ people in this world.
It’s always a treat to see Shauna. Until next time!
Someone was a sore loser at Scrabble!
Something about the story seems… off.
Fake Lottie’s dawning alarm in panel 3 was triggered by her sudden realisation that this wasn’t the good sherry.
I am torn! My esteem for the dowager increased by another order of magnitude, but I am actually worried about Claire and Glenn now! My feelings don’t know which way is up!
I think we’d all do well to avoid underestimating Lottie’s evil doppelganger. She’s already proven herself to be the most dangerous foe Lottie’s ever faced. And Lottie’s dealt with supernatural monsters and the like.
Let us hope that Lottie’s prior assertion – that she got the worst day of her life over with early – doesn’t turn out to be false.
She’s absolutely the most evil too, with a motivation that directly affects Lottie on a deeply personal level, which makes me wonder just what could’ve happened to make her this way.
Bad Charlotte’s probably one of the scariest things in the Bobbinsverse, not in that she necessarily scares me but mainly in how much of a serious and personal threat she poses
What other story elements/characters from these comics would you guys describe as “the scariest”?
robert e. howard estate lawyer
There is no Robert E. Howard estate, though. Howard apparently has no living heirs. Conan Properties International, a company in no way connected to Howard, his family, or his heirs, bought up the trademarks (and some copyrights, mostly on published versions of stories that were only released after Howard’s death) some years back- they act as if they own all the rights to the character, but the legality is, at best, questionable.
Tim Jones.
Good thing he apparently exploded not long after his 2nd daughter’s baby shower
PLASTIC Scrabble tiles? Oh dear, how non-U.
Plot twist: Bitsy’s father was Anton Chekhov.
Looks like there was a serious disagreement on whether TABEE, a Dutch expression for “goodbye”, would be an acceptable word.
Maybe the clue’s in the upside down letters! Can someone flip them over?
I just realized that they left EviLottie alone in the room. She could have poisoned the sherry and then fled.
Bitsy may be the type to toss out the whole bottle, out of an abundance of caution. And she can certainly afford it.
I have a vision of Bitsy using the suspect bottle for target practice with father’s service revolver.
I’m pretty sure she would have thrown it out. It’s not like it was the GOOD sherry. The common sherry is kept on hand expressly for situations like this.
She didn’t just take care of the other players, she also stole all the good letters!
Oh no…. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
