Maybe I'm looking at it wrong - perhaps the looseness of her blouse's sleeve is throwing me off - but I swear Lilith is missing her right arm.

Re: Best Coffee 2015-04-15
To explain further- The girl (Agatha Clay, AKA Agatha Hetrodyne) was raised by Adam and Lilith Clay (AKA Punch and Judy)- Lilith wears high-necked late Victorian/early Edwardian blouses with 'leg-of-mutton' sleeves, just like the Lilith that Paul portrays here. Go to the link that GlytchMeister provides and follow a few pages- you will see the results of drinking the perfect cup of coffee.GlytchMeister wrote:Read from here on for a few pages. It's a good comic, once you get this joke, you might as well go for the full archive binge. A lot of people around here reference this comic. You could say it's a local favorite.Gyrrakavian wrote:A bit of background for the ignorant?
THEN you will see why Euryals' sister thought this was soooo funny- this is a walk-on from another comic.

I dunno, Sarge. If Paul were to have a Lilith Clay cameo, I don't think he would leave off some of her most characteristic features, such as her drndl and braided bun.Sgt. Howard wrote: THEN you will see why Euryals' sister thought this was soooo funny- this is a walk-on from another comic.

Re: Best Coffee 2015-04-15
Dear God, maybe Agatha has already tinkered with Tina's gear, so it's the only place left to find "the perfect cup".
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.

Re: Best Coffee 2015-04-15
If Agatha'd had her way with Tina's gear, she'd give the same kind of coffee to every customer.
...
And all of her customers would be trippin on super-coffee.

Re: Best Coffee 2015-04-15
She is wearing late Victorian/Edwardian wardrobe- I've not seen that before in Wapsi world. It is a joke that she would get her coffee at Tina's. And as a published cartoonist that has in the past copied other cartoonist's work to 'cameo' somebody onto my strip, I can verify that modifying your technique to emulate somebody else's is not always easy... ESPECIALLY when you do a daily. It took me several tries to make 'Andy Capp' look like it had been drawn by 'Smyth'... and that is a very simple style.Dr. Otter wrote:I dunno, Sarge.

I say that is Paul's rendition of Lilith Clay, done spur-of-the-moment as a result of some references to Agatha's coffee-making adventure... and he did not get the hair right because he was rushed... or simply took poetic license.
There is nothing funny about a demon/vampire/Adam's first wife wandering into wapsi world to buy coffee at Tina's. There is EVERYTHING funny about Lilith Clay buying Tina's Coffee when her foster daughter makes stuff that is so good it causes hallucinations.

BTW- Lillith, I have NEVER heard you use such language before! I ought to wash your mouth out with turpentine... but wait... you're a construct... for all I know that might be a part of your normal dental hygiene.

Re: Best Coffee 2015-04-15
I was going to say that. Lilith Clay is taller and bigger (in a muscle-bound way) than the average man. She also has her left eye much bigger than the right, but that cannot be confirmed, here, since the left eye of this particular Lilith (whatever her last name may be) is covered by her hair (which would probably be considered much too unkempt for Lilith Clay...)AnotherFairportfan wrote:And height and (maybe) proportions.Dr. Otter wrote:I dunno, Sarge.

Now that I think about it, Gilgamesh Wulfenbach did fix that eye, so that point is now moot. But the rest stands.

Oh, wow. I hadn't even thought of that. Jeeze. How did I miss that possibility?
I'm giving a 3/10 that the Prude is Lilith. No, wait, 5/10 because she's in a friggin Victorian outfit.
