Down, down, down…

So! Spooky was able to free himself from Anaado’s grip! But now what? Where are they falling to? And what will happen when they hit the bottom?

Tune in this Wednesday to find out! Hope to see you there! 😀

AACK!!! *grabs a giant, cartoonish trampoline*
Help me Spooky fans! help!!

It’s the sudden stop at the bottom that is going to hurt.

Don’t know why, but all I can think is “down the rabbit hole he goes”

Let’ see if there is a cake saying “Eat me” at the bottom.

So, I’m looking at Anaado’s expressions and I wonder if he just realised what he’d done?

Note to self: never hire a demon to move your stuff

Unless , of course, you are moving to another dimension!

You still want it to be in one piece when it gets there, though.

I could recommend a really good service. they turn your possessions in to golems. very efficient.

More good advice. 🙂

a Little magic please Spooky….

Dang, I hope Kyle’s furniture isn’t rented; if so, he’s never getting the deposit back! And if I am reading the expressions on Anaado’s and Spooky’s faces correctly, it looks like Spooky might be collecting his wits about him and getting the upper hand in this situation–if he can figure out how to use it to break his fall into Hell in time! And I meant to say it on the last page, but it still applies, so I’ll say it here: while I do NOT appreciate Anaado’s actions, I do appreciate the hints of backside we are given from certain angles. Demon or not, I gotta let my fujoshi flag fly in admiration of a nice, round rear. Thanks for just the right touch of fanservice, even amidst all this harrowing action, TYP crew!

You’re welcome! (And let that fujoshi flag fly, my friend!)

The streaks of movement were really effective, particularly in the last panel. I really got that sense of speed, of everything just plummeting.

I agree. Vero did a nice job with that. 🙂

See what happens when you use powers you don’t know how to use properly? You go down bottomless pit holes! Bad Anaado!

Bree got a bath yesterday and went to her second to last lesson. This lesson was all about strangers and noise. She did mostly okay with the noise (she’s impervious to fireworks. It surprised us), but I was most surprised by how she handled the “strangers” (aka Laura’s helpers.) They were mostly men and she has is very afraid of people (she will even shy away from me sometimes), but when the strangers offered her treats, she took to sniffing their hands. She didn’t take the treat (which I expected), but she sniffed their hand quite thoroughly before coming back to me which she’s never done. She checked them out to see if they were good people! I was so proud guys. There she was, amongst all of the noise of this festival, and she was sniffing strangers.

And then a child touched her without my permission. Sigh. She jumped pretty much a foot in the air and became a barnacle by velcroing herself around my legs. She fears children most. They are loud, they are unpredictable, they are small. My poor dog. All of that good work and she was touched by a child not okayed by the behaviorist. TT____TT My poor dog. (I may have given the child a piece of my mind in 6-year-old terms as he looked about 6. That boy certainly knew after not to go running up to dogs and petting them without consent after that. What if my dog was prone to biting?! WHAT IF?! Oh, I was livid.)

I am glad that things went well.

Ugh! For the first time in two weeks, it’s been a cool-ish, windy and cloudy night & morning, and I have slept like a log for almost 6 hours in one go, due to that, rather than waking up 2-3 times between 4 and 7, because it’s a sunny hot morning – and despite still being drop-dead tired, I’m happy my clock finally woke me up.

My great sleep was turning from dreamless, into intense and on the verge of a nightmare, almost a full on nightmare – when luckily the alarmclock decided to insist I woke up. I have apparently been reading/seeing too many things and stories about lions lately. More specific huge man hunting prides D:

Down dooby doo down down. Seems that breaking up isn’t that hard to do.
Is it just me, or does Anaado also have a surprised look on his face in panel 2 that might be significant. As in, he has plans but they require him to still have Spooky literally in his grasp.

My guess is that now that they’re back in hell, he might have a harder time keeping control of Kyle….he did get more powerful the last time he was there.

Hopefully this plummet straight into hell will give Spooky a chance to get away and form a plan that gives back Kyle’s control.

Here’s hoping…
…but I have to admit, as terrible as it sounds, I do like a good chase scene XP
As soon as you land Spooky…run for it!!!! DX

Worse yet he may bring the wrath of Kyle and his Father!

ooooh! Hadn’t even thought of “Daddys” opinion on this…O_O…cause I don’t think him looking like Anaado right now will fool the king of hell.

Okay, Spooky, you’re going to want to follow the white rabbit past the scare crow, tin man, and lion until you reach the lamp post, then hit a hard right, and you should see a cupboard door. If you see the exit for Willoughby you’ve gone too far.

Let me see how many childhood stories are we destroying here? shades of Malice in Wonderland…..and just a hint of Wizard of Oz……cracks me up!

And if they end up landing back on the floor, we’ll know that Spooky is really a grown-up Little Nemo.

“Oh! Oh!” 😉

And remember to turn left at Albuquerque

So now we also have to deal with that screwy rabbit…..in addition to Alice In Wonderland AND The Wizard of Oz?……How many more before Wednesday?

OK folks, that’s a challenge. What can you come up with?

If you come across any traveling mirrors watch out for Wicked Queen Stepmothers, the Huntsman, and Trolls. (Though the Trolls are mostly more annoying than an actual problem.) Oh and the short cut to the palace through the swamp? Don’t drink the water, don’t eat the mushrooms, and most importantly – DON’T FALL ASLEEP. Also be careful what you say around the faeries in the swamp, you don’t know whose turn it is to be naughty. You should also probably also give up eating apples altogether…just to be on the safe side. Also don’t break any magic mirrors, the Dwarves aren’t happy when you break their mirrors. Also avoid the Peeps…

and the twilight zone.

I really have to “fix” this “late to the party” issue……sorry guys……Falling never hurts anyone……but we’ll see if there is a sudden stop at the end of this!

I would have expected Anaado to do everything in his power to avoid going back to Hell. Spooky handled this situation extremely badly. Anaado can not but have gotten the impression that Spooky was going to send him back. I thought that that was the main reason for Anaado’s lashing out. And now he has sent himself back. His expression in panes one and two may indicate that he has just now realised what he has done.

When good furniture goes to hell…

That’s a loooong way down.

I don’t even like a 20 foot drop on a rollercoaster ride >.>

I wonder if Anaado gets to regret this rash impulse decision, a million times in his head, during that fall. Even more after losing his grip on Spooky. Is there even a guarantee that they will ens up in the same dimension at the bottom? Is this a complete one-way street, uh, drop, to a specific dimension?

Too bad the couch is falling above them and not below. This could be a hard landing.

– – – – – –
(Though I know that it looked like Sircea and Fluffy the Bear fell through a wormhole, made for another place on earth, I can’t help think about the irony, if Spooky and Anaado ‘dropped in’ the same place/dimension. THAT could also have been an interesting ‘We have to find a way to escape’ story xD )

Anaados expression just screams “I did not think that through!” XD

Dropping into the same place as The Platinum Priestess and the Bear would be interesting… (But, of course, Spooky did catch up with the Bear. Eventually.)

It’s hard to be sure, but I think Anaado may be having second thoughts there and he’s probably never read Alice in Wonderland.

Just one of the things he will have catch up on to fit into Earth society.

Hey, look! It’s Eddie’s couch!

(Mad geek points for recognizing THAT reference.)

Lovely art, Adam & Vero.

No kitchen sink?

Not yet.

I would highly suggest taking tea with the Mad Hatter and March Hare, but do try to avoid the Queen of Hearts and following white rabbits with pocket watches mumbling about being late…

Out of Nowhere Mitch flies in and catches Spooky and then Anaado-Kyle.

MITCH!

In Cerebus, there is a scene where the Batman-parody jumps down from somewhere, intending to use the time it takes to fall thinking the situation through. This is what he thinks: “Bad move. Bad move. Bad move. Bad move.”

Ha!

New reader here! So sad that I managed to read all the way to the present day in one night… but loved every minute of it. Keep up the good work, we need more queer stories: in comics, in film, in life!

p.s. I have a soft spot for Spooky.

welcome

Welcome to the comic, and to the comments section.

Welcome!

Welcome, Lewis! Glad to hear you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read! I couldn’t agree more about needing more queer stories.

I’m curious, how did you find us?

And did you read your way through Engaging the Enemy and Artifice as well?

I think I found you through reading another queer web comic, Pride High. I was looking for gayer superhero stories after reading the Iceman solo and being underwhelmed and disappointed.

I have – read them all!

Where is there an umbrella when one needs one? (Ahem, Mary Poppins I believe that’s your cue)

a Ford Anglia
😉

Mary Poppins driving the Ford Anglia!

to see the spiders in the enchanted secret garden

added: It runs on merely a spoonful of brown, environmentally-safe, sugar

Here I was thinking Alice in Wonderland….
What sort of scary looking white rabbit are they going to find? The one from Monty Python?
EDIT: Reading further down the comments, I’m not the only one! 🙂

That could work too! But I think I’d be more concerned with what type of Cheshire Cat they might run into.

Man, re-arranging the furniture SUCKS and is a colossal pain-in-the-ass.

DOWN THE RABBIT HELL! (No, I did not misspell that.)

I love the way that Spooky’s expressing isn’t really screaming panic, more like a relatively restrained “oh no!”

Yep. This isn’t his first rodeo. Not by a long shot.

Well, I’m glad that Anaado lost his hold on Spooky. I just hope Spooky will use magic to have a safe landing for the both of them.

In the middle panel, it looks like Anaando is rather surprised at what happened. He’s used to using a lighter, and now he’s got a flame thrower: maybe he was not expecting something so dramatic?

Imma laugh if they end up landing on that couch.

it seems as if Anaado didn’texactly plan for this… I just hope it’s not an actual gate to hell ;____;

Hello Campers,
Will help fall from the sky?
Is there a golden parachute in the near future?
Or will the Queen of Hearts appear grinning in a tree wearing only a smile?

Mitch flies in and catches them. He was doing that passive listening thing and heard an upset Spooky.

Possibly, although my bookie, Salvatore, won’t take the bet

Miiiiiiitch. MiiiIIIIIiiiitch.

Pretty much for his sake I hope that the portal has already closed behind them!
