Hetty reminds me so much of the landlady at the digs I was in about 25 years ago it’s bringing back my PTSD. I suspect there is a finishing school somewhere with a conveyor belt – sweet little girls go in one end and battle-axes pop out the other.
One argument for Hetty’s choice for their father’s final resting place:
Nobody needs to CLIMB the Kilimanjaro, she could simply HURL the urn up to the top!!
These aristocrats are perfect. I can HEAR her.
How is it even possible that Hetty didn’t just lob Stephen over a fence and get her own way before the ashes reached room temperature?
She has to redirect energy… Stephen is a master of wu wei and produces no exploitable impetus.
I got it exactly backwards. I said she’d wrestle the bull to the ground, but she actually hurled him into the air.
Woe to anyone on the receiving end of this fastbull special!
I find myself concerned for Arthur, because he doesn’t have a puffer jacket to absorb the landing.
Oh, I’m sure the lad is used to such playfulness by now
As an additional bonus, you can reuse the HURL lettering the next time someone vomits.
So why is he arguing with her about the ashes dispersal location?
I assume he feels more strongly about that than he does about the therapy, so he’s willing to risk disagreeing with her about it.
Well, Arthur appears to have felt strongly about things and look how that ended….
Which is what makes it a RISK.
You can never say that arguing over the disposition of ashes isn’t cricket
So, Hetty certainly knows how to “shoot the bull”.
And how to take the bull by the horns.
This page is great! I am as agog as Lottie!
So Hetty can lift Arthur… but has she done it greased and ungreased?
Every single panel here is ace work. I could imagine Hetty grabbing the bull by the horns on a Minoan frescoe or Ancient Greek vase.

It’s called “your twenties”, and it contains things unspeakable.
Uh-HUH. Just like Blossom Cooper with.. what was it… the shot put? Or was it the hammer throw?
I could believe it regarding a T & F event, but that bull has to outweigh Hetty by 500 lbs at least.
Unless she’s physically many times normal density. Like Superman.
I think she’s redirecting the bull’s momentum.
Moo jitsu.
I always wondered what happened to Blossom.
I hope she and Shauna are still together.
I wonder if the two siblings could become friend of Lottie and Glenn. They could form a squad of super problems solvers!
I am getting strong Nesta from Man Down vibes from Hetty and I am HERE for it!
Definitely thinking of Nesta, also French and Saunders in their countrywoman mode.
or Ms. Cole as Doc Martin’s Aunt Joan…
You’re a natural bull drawer. Like drawing a bike.
Hopefully nothing like drawing a bike. Those things are a nightmare of frame.

I’m considering the possibilities of just throwing it straight up as hard as possible and letting his ashes just wander where they will.
“Who let out Big Business?”
Throwing bull has many connotations
Looks like the bull market is, indeed, going up!
I dropped in here randomly from Jeph Jacques website and without context, this page is completely awesome 😸
