You are a catch
Nothing seems to faze Ljubjana. The spiralling crisis barely raises her pulse rate. Ryan’s has probably doubled, despite the “pudding wine” to ameliorate the evening’s effects.

On the one hand, we have seen future Ryan, and he is very much alive. On the other hand, death in the Bobbins universe is often a short-term thing. (I’ve lost track of how many times Shelly has died.) So maybe Ryan is doomed to die at Mr. Rodriguez’s hand, but he’ll get over it in a week or two?
Shelley’s only actually died once (murdered by Archie Stanwyck in “Science Fair”). She was close to death after the drive-by shooting in “Count My Toes”, but was merely in a coma (even though Natalie took her to the afterlife), and she’s had numerous near-misses, but only the one confirmed actual death.
Ah, OK. I had been counting the drive-by shooting as well as the other one. I stand corrected. But nonetheless, “only one” death and resurrection is still remarkable.
Well, strictly speaking she’s still a zombie. It just seems that the effects of death have mostly worn off.
I’d count that as a death since she had to escape from the afterlife.
Remember that we are given to believe that Scout Jones had a secret hand in all of Shelley’s brushes with mortality:

(Also, as I recall once, one of the imps that run the afterlife noted that he had spared her from expiration because she had a “pleasing existence”, though even as much of an old hand as I am at sifting through Bobbinsverse archives I do not know that I can unearth that particular entry or how canonical it might be as of 2020.)
heh .. Ljubjana’s in ljuv. or, maybe she’s just djrunk.
Or bjoth.
Ljubjana seems to be overlooking or not know that Dorado is also Ryan’s landlord. OTOH this could be what saves him — he can work out an arrangement to pay the tab over time.
Apologies if this has been address, but does Ljubjana have a bindi? A tattoo, or perhaps a mole?
I think it’s a jewel like Mister Sinister’s.
I’ve wondered too.
Also, I like your username very much.
I had taken it to be a tattoo, as it is always drawn in the same color and style as her other tattoos.
I’m making the call now~soul gem.
Are they holding hands in panel 1?
I think they are!!
That candle got more and more excited between panels
Thank you for spelling “faze” correctly.
Indeed. It’s one of those words that a lot of people don’t bother to distinguish from its homophone. It drives me mad when even professional writers don’t know the difference between ‘diffuse’ and ‘defuse’.
I am an editor by trade, and professional writers do things like that all the time. Their language abuses are legion, but the defuse/diffuse thing might be the one that enrages me most.
Yes, it is maddening!
People do this allot around me, and I probably shouldn’t let it effect me, but its a matter of principal.
PlasticInsect, I am going to hurt you!
I once used “fissile” when I should have used “fizzle” and folks went nuclear.
Given that Dorado knows where Ryan lives, is there even any point to running or not running?
Only if he takes all his possessions with him like a snail.
