Chateau Grief 166

Di: As compensation for helping me achieve my nefarious political goals...how would you like, say, eternal youth and beauty? Or my soul.

Di: Or my grandmother's soul

Kore: What the hell would I do with your grandmother's soul?

Di: How can you talk like that! You ought to be ashamed of yourself. She's got years and years of life experience. Anyone would be proud to have her soul!

Kore: I don't recommend swallowing them.

Di: I'm sorry, I've never smoked before. As long as I'm going to ruin my life, I might as well do it in style. First order of business is to get that no-confidence petition signed.

Di: I'm sorry to say that I don't think I can rely on the rest of the Satanists to support this so soon after their ascention to power, but I may have some possibilities on the Protectionist Eynhallow side.

Kore: Ah, don't worry about it. We'll just make up some names. Your colleagues in parliament will notice, but you're the majority leader, right?

Kore: Let's haul out the bribes.

Di: Actually, I'm glad you're crooked. I couldn't in good conscience run a morally upstanding campaign.

Kore: 's what I figured.

Di: I've got to warn you though I draw the line at telepaths. The Satanist Party on Eynhallow is oficially opposed to telepathy. No one worse than a brain-meddler.

Di: Do you have another one? I'm sure I won't spit it out this time.

Kore: I don't have to sit here and be insulted.

Di: Plausible deniability. I'm a lawyer. You're a virago.

Di: Satan gives to each according to his measure.

Author Notes:

I think law school was too easy for Di.

Characters: Kore, Prime Minister Di

Patreon Last week was heavily stymied by my continuing technical difficulties. However, I got the redone CG6 up (looking good there Xander) before the great disaster. Then I went digging through my notes, posted a detailed humorous synopsis of CG, an old touch up job I did on an actual oil painting. An in-progress shot of the major 3d project I’ve started for the comic to distract myself from my troubles, a commission picture I did a while ago, and Chateau Grief 167 which proves that the comic at least is going to keep rolling even when other stuff grinds to a halt. Onward march!

Note: the 'contains mature content' box option on DA puts me in mind of the new MPAA rating warning of 'Historical Smoking' and I can't help but laugh...historical smoking...definitely worse than the other kind. nothing worse than smoking history. I already fail the MPAA because blood is red in CG, so insta-R rated comic here (historical knee surgery?). I didn't realize how much I missed the red in Marvel film fights until I saw some other action film recently where there was lots of red. When Wolverine is stabbing people and there's not a drop of red...it just looks so bizarre, alien, and bloodless. gimme some historical PG circa 1960 beatdown any day.
