CHAPTER 9 - PAGE 20

(Transcript and visual captions below}

      The huge bull-like beast ran after Florence, snorting a grunty horrible laugh. Was it enjoying the pursuit? Was it running slower than it needed to just for fun? She ran as fast as she could, cursing her beloved pair of black velvet lace-up granny boot platform heels for the first time, like ever. Why hadn't she worked harder on her magic? She had no way to fly, no better way to escape than to run like a human.
How pathetic!
      Thierry's words ran through her head-- Why do you spend your time with silly fairies? You should learn real magic, what will fairies do for you other than making pretty shoes? On hon hon, sacre bleu! Or something like that, anyway.

In which gnomes wardrobe is supplied by Oshkosh B'gosh.

      "Eh... your what?"
      "My baby! Uh- Darren! I have to go to him! He must be in trouble!" Helen started waving her hands around, searching for unseen objects in her elaborately decorated and rather messy room. Lucricia leaned back, shaking her head.
      "...Uh huh. So, what exactly are we going to do about Demetri again?"
      "Oh yeah, whatever you want..." Helen answered vaguely, putting her cell phone in a vintage KittyKitty purse.
      "So we'll execute him at dawn?"
      "Sure. Oh! Can you give me a ride?" Helen stopped to consider which hat she should wear.
      "Wha-"
      "Wait, nevermind! I forgot I can fly, duhhh! Hahaha."
      "Yeah okay, I think I'm gonna go do some investigating by myself..."
      "Have fun!"

Props to my shoe club for cluing me into the strange world of elaborate lady shoes. I should draw more little weirdo fairy gnome things, holy shit they are super fun to draw. We're getting close to the end of this chapter, we're gonna run a lil' over the usual 22 pages but not by a whole lot. Ooh boy! It's gonna get fun real soon...

It's finals week at last OMG PLZ END SCHOOL NOW ;_;

            TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

1.)

(Florence is running from a minotaur, in a dark parking lot.)

2.)

(The chase continues. Florence is wearing elaborate lace stockings and tall shoes.)

FLORENCE: (thinks) Mama, help me!   I can’t do this!

3.)

(She offers a prayer to the spirits, clasping her hands together and closing her eyes.)

FLORENCE: P-please! Any of you, help me!

4.)

(The Minotaur is amused that she stopped to pray, and gloats in a weird Antearctan accent.)

OLGA: Heh heh heh!   I’m gonna punch ya good, fancy lady!

5.)

(Florence listens to Olga's taunts, looking nervous.)

OLGA: Theo’s my pal, and y’all not been respectin’ him like you oughta!   This’ll show ya!

6.)

(Two twinkling blue fairies appear floating at Florence's sides, and gnome-like beings peer from behind her legs.)

OFF SCREEN OLGA: Huh?   Gnomes?

7.)

(If they are gnomes, they are grey-skinned, glowing-eyed, blood-dribbling gnomes with tiny daggers in their hands. More emerge.)

8.)

(The minotaur flees and the creepy beings rejoice.)

OLGA: GEHH!! SCARY BABIES!

9.)

(Up close, Florence cries in relief. The blue fairies are wearing cute little outfits and the one resting on her shoulder has a beehive hairdo.)

FLORENCE: Mama...! I did it! I-I can’t believe it!

10.)

    (Down at Florence's feet, a creature is already repairing her fancy shoes. It is
  wearing sunglasses, a pink fur coat, and tiny replicas of her stockings and shoes.)

FLORENCE: Aww!

11.)

(Darren flees from a creepy vulture monster.)

INTERTITLE: MEANWHILE

DARREN:   Fucking fuck fuck   shit fucking fuck   shit shit!!

12.)

(In disgust and terror and mid-sprint, Darren considers his options.)

DARREN: (thinks) Okay... can’t use the phone but the magic call thing... Ellen? No, she wouldn’t. The old man? Ew...

13.)

(From Darren's thought balloon, cherubic Helen makes a sweetie face, with a heart pendant around her neck. His expression is "UGH.")

IMAGINED HELEN: Daarren I love youu sweeetieee

DARREN: Oh fuck it.

14.)

(Lucricia is interrupted by Helen's astonishment at a psychic missive from the prodigal son.)

DARREN VIBES: Come to me..

LUCRICIA: So I just don't understand why you--

HELEN: My baby!
