I hear it’s fashionable again
I once put my whole leg in a peat bog, this is autobiographical comics. All day I lived with my wet leg, a trauma that is triggered every time I hear mention of the “Chaise Longue” hitmakers on BBC Radio’s 6th Programme

OK, so who remembers Channel 4’s Short & Curlies series?
Lottie’s situation here gave me flashbacks to the episode “Out of Town”, an early David Morrisey role.
The “featured review” at imdb tells you all you need to know…

There’s a Mike Leigh ‘Short & Curlies’ on All4 with a young David Thewlis but I don’t think it’s the same thing; that said it is definitely worth a watch.
Saw Sandy Toksvig and Bonnie Langford on stage in Shrewsbury a few years go in a show called Short and Curlies.
Hetty’s angry overbite!
I have one problem* with recent pages, they keep making me think of my job!
We do sell a selection of waterproof boots, socks, and trousers that Lottie may wish to consider for any future trips out on the moors
“It’s not really a problem
From my experience of traipsing about on the moors, waders would probably be the better option. Some of those holes go all the way down.
This is awesome! I can’t decide if I want more for the siblings to bond by admitting how much they both really hate anything even slightly related to exploration and traveling to inhospitable places or for both to start a journey across the world in opposite directions to show to everyone who is the best explorer. Hetti holding Lottie by the arm as she tries to wipe her foot is adorable.² adorable.
Impeccable balance on display from Lottie.
Lest she take a bog roll
Sorry, Lottie. I’m afraid wet feet are bog standard.
This comments section needs a Groan button next to the Like.
True. This place is saturated with puns.
Mired in them, even.
“You’ve led us”? Our author seems to have the same typing tic I have, which is that my typing is cued by me talking in my head (resulting in homophones getting swapped)
Eh? “You’ve” is correct. “Led” is correct. “Us” seems to check out. What am I missing?
In the actual comic, it says “lead” instead of “led”.
I looked at lead vs led when I wrote this because I am never sure. But then I got distracted and forgot to actually investigate which was correct. I’m just thick, lads. I’m a thicko.
But you’re *our* thicko, and we love you.
I ALWAYS do that one wrong and then fix it. I thought that was because I’m an American, though. You guys invented this language and you still get it wrong?
Mind BLOWN.
While it’s unlikely to result in trench-foot requiring amputation, I think Lottie could even rock a peg leg.
She’d need an eyepatch to go with it. She probably ought to skip the hook hand, though… would interfere with her j’accusation.
Might require yet another puffer: proper length, suitably contrasting with the leg’s wood tones.
I was thinking her long black coat with the dark yellow chevron lining. Broad-brimmed hat with a plume and the brim pinned up on one side. Energy Crow on her shoulder.
Peg Leg Lottie!
Captain of the Grote Boat.
Charlotte’s poses could develop into a profitable little Bog Yoga class.
I proposed to Mrs W on Stanage Edge. It went somewhat better than Lottie’s excursion, at least.
You probably didn’t try to kiss her in the fog and mist.
I see what you did there.
I assume he is going to use the stick to take soundings of the ground ahead of them as they walk?
That “delusions” remark seems to come out of nowhere, and Hetty is looking off away from her companions… What does she see coming out of the mist? Papa’s ghost? Desmond?
I think Hetty’s implying that Stephen’s delusional if he thinks he can get them out of this when she can’t.
You dirty old man

Coming to this almost exactly a year late, but is that a nod to Tom Stoppard’s Travesties in panel 5?
I wish I was so intellectual as to be quoting Tom Stoppard. I do often think of his former wife, Dr Miriam Stoppard.
