Final advice
Shelley’s in her cups, but she’s an endearing drunk. Always positive vibes. No comic tomorrow, as it’s Christmas day, but there’ll be new ones on Thursday and Friday.

Merry Christmas, Mr Allison!
Heaven knows…
I really like Peter. He fits in really well as a new character, is a good, non-romantic foil for Shelley, and is a great opportunity to expand on Len’s background as well. Why am I such a nerd about this comic?
Let us indeed hope we shall meet fair Peter again. Odds seem good! Our good Englishman once said that Erin Winters was never coming back, and then she came back and was *completely amazing* as Mordawwa.
I love to think of Tackleford as a place where the bridge between the real and the unreal, the living and the dead and eternity, all cross in a magical way…so let us hope all characters from the past, present, or future remain fair game in Mr. Alison’s universe. I quite admit an irrational hope to one day see Morag make a return myself…
Also, there’s no shame in Tackleford fandom:

One week later- Shelley, exited, returns to the basement, but can find no sign of Peter. Looking around, she eventually notices an old, dusty portrait hanging on the wall- a portrait of Peter, looking exactly the way he did when last she saw him. And, painted draped around Peter’s neck is a yellow feather boa, almost looking like a bunch of bananas in the dim light…
Merry Christmas, Comix God.

What? I did my last Christmas show last Sunday. Christmas is over. Finally, some peace.
Happy Christmas, Mr. Allison.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL
Merry Christmas, Mr. Allison, and may you recover entirely from “the poisons” long before 2020.
Buon Natale and all that.
I must add my own “Merry Christmas” here, and throw in a “Happy New Year” as well.
Love these comics.
Happy Holidays, Mr. A!
And to all a good night!
Merry Christmas!
FWIW, I had never before seen or heard the phrase “in her cups” (or his, your, their, etc.) used the describe a drunk person, so I looked it up.
Apparently, its first known usage was in the King James Bible, published in 1611 — “And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords” (1 Esdras 3:22). And it seems the Romans used a Latin phrase that translates to the same expression.
I also discovered a lexicographer has compiled a list of more than 3,000 euphemisms for being drunk, which Guinness, in its wisdom, has deemed an official world record.
I suspect this a peculiarly British term, but my quick research cannot confirm this.
This concludes our educational minute for today. Merry Christmas to one an all.
Happy Christmas!! And thank you for all the fantastic comics you’ve made thru the years! Xxoo✌????
Happy Christmas and a Healthy Merry New Year!
“In his cups” I have heard in the USA. But I never researched its apparent history. Ole King James who also wrote a book on Demonology too. I have to find a copy of that one day…
