I can’t tell if the figure on the cover of Gentle Persuasion is being lit up by a spotlight, or has been captured in a large bubble, a la Rover from The Village.
Ah yes, few know exactly the point when the hammer-fist is to be employed. I for one feel this is topic which is not sufficiently covered… after all, some squatters will flee if you simply bark at them, or scream like an escaped serial killer.
Being (as my father, whose hairline I have gradually assumed, once told us he was called) “un grande oiseau pas plume”, I resent the inference that I am mad! Or that I have escaped!
I am not completely bereft of follicles, but I have but a narrow isthmus that connects west to east and I keep the whole pate buzzed short; easier to care for and completely unable to develop a pronounced flip once it gets to a certain length!
“An old clinic”! I am too much of an old fogey to do be able to say this personally so I’ll have to defer to Deadpool and note a potential “steaming bowl of foreshadowing”. Although, having said that I have to acknowledge that 90% of Bad Machinery is foreshadowing so this is merely par for the course.
Yes, prisoners frequently have their hair shaven while incarcerated because of the possibility of its use as a dangerous weapon. Part of this statement is true.
“The site lives up to a number of the required regulations. There have been relatively few accidents here, very few of them fatal and none of those critically so.”
Mrs Biscuits was a supernatural spirit creature, but not the lingering soul of a deceased mortal. I think the only actual ghost the mystery kids ran into, at least in documented cases, was Todd Baxter, the murdered musician in “Unwelcome Visitor”. He seemed like a decent enough guy, if a bit of a downer at parties.
I can’t help but notice he just states that a five-point spiritual check was performed, but says nothing about whether the site passed or failed it.
From his ghost emoji, we can tell there were only happy spirits!
“Friendly spirits? Just listen!” (DAAaaaaaa-DUMP!”
Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
Five points were found where spirits checked in. Count the li’l ghosties!
Maybe the ghosties are the inspectors. After all, who is better qualified to check for ghosts than a ghost?
They’re tiny drones wearing handkerchiefs.
Will Glemm’s use of krav maga be what steals young Lottie’s heart, one wonders?
“Crikey, Glym!”

Obviously, the miscreants are going to be deterred by the spirit of Band on the Run
Lottie’s asking the important questions.
She’s been around. She knows how it works.
The benefits of a Tackleford education.
Also, the background figure in panel 6 is not crazy. All he wanted was a Pepsi.
That is the definition of crazy around here. We only drink The Real Thing®
In this universe that being some sort of Amstrad licensed soft drink?
Lottie! How would it make Todd Baxter feel if he heard you talking about ghosts like that?
Oh right. Yeah. The same way he feels all the time.
Ah yes, few know exactly the point when the hammer-fist is to be employed. I for one feel this is topic which is not sufficiently covered… after all, some squatters will flee if you simply bark at them, or scream like an escaped serial killer.

You have escaped the shackles of a hirsute head, non? Or is it still more of a work in progress?
I am not completely bereft of follicles, but I have but a narrow isthmus that connects west to east and I keep the whole pate buzzed short; easier to care for and completely unable to develop a pronounced flip once it gets to a certain length!
Oh we’re not all bald…
Lottie asking the important questions ♡.
It’s not the escaped madmen that you have to worry about. It’s the escaped sane people who’ve decided they like terrible things that are the problem.
The purple puffer is finally dry!

Your key to quality literature!

It’s “prisoners frequently have their hair,” right?
“incarcerated because of the possibility”
“When to use Krav Maga” is exactly what you want to see on your real estate literature.
Before this comic, I had no idea what Krav Maga was.
Mind you, I still have no idea, but have decided to assume it’s a brand of mace until proven otherwise.
“The site lives up to a number of the required regulations. There have been relatively few accidents here, very few of them fatal and none of those critically so.”
I’m guessing that means all the critical fatalities were determined to not be accidental, so could be safely ignored.
Zero is a number.
I think John Finnemore would approve of that Shappey-esque ‘yourselves’ in panel 2.
The lemon is in play.
“Ghosts appall me” – HA! I love Lottie’s disdainful attitude towards the spiritual realm. Just, no time for it.
I actually find that attitude strange, given her Tackleford upbringing.
I mean, wasn’t Mrs. Biscuits a ghost of sorts?
Mrs Biscuits was a supernatural spirit creature, but not the lingering soul of a deceased mortal. I think the only actual ghost the mystery kids ran into, at least in documented cases, was Todd Baxter, the murdered musician in “Unwelcome Visitor”. He seemed like a decent enough guy, if a bit of a downer at parties.
He got better.
Lottie brings up two totally valid points!
(For the world of SGR, that is.)
