Oh, man. Just under the wire today. I don't know how other cartoonists make drawing buildings and stuff look so easy... that stuff always slows me down.

That, and the odd medical procedure. What? Hey, two stitches is plenty of hardship! I can't put the band-aid on myself, it's on my back! I can reach the spot, but manipulating band-aids? I gotta ask for help!

Like I said. Hardships!

This is such a Pooka thing to do!

It is good to know one's limitations.

That girl totally thought the pooka was a Pokemon and was trying to throw a virtual pokeball at her on her phone, wasn't she?
He, pookamon.

Man, I want a story focused on Black Betty. She's hilarious. X)

Oh baby, I've been waiting a good long while for that rasacally rabbit to be relevant

I honestly love this Pooka far more than I should. Especially since she'd probably gut me or something. But still, can't help liking her. Spool much.

*"Soooo" not spool. Autocorrect has much to answer for

I find it hilarious that the woman is kidnapped and her first response is to ask for more context instead of totally freaking out. Is it that she is used to stuff like this happening around town or does she just have nerves of steel?

I'm seriously pumped for this whole conflict that is brewing.

keep up the good work Joe

I have a feeling that our wizardly friend may have a little difficulty focusing on magic when he meets this precariously dressed rabbit.

"Okay, uh, okay. Sorry I'm a bit shocked, I'm not sure it all registered. So you have, you said, a vampire clan, and a bunch of wizard, and a demon, and they're all fighting? Well, you should, I mean, it's, it all depends on their motivations, right? Like, why are they fighting? What do they want? What do you want? And then I guess you pick the guys who want the same things you do and you fight with them?

Black Betty is so wonderfully dramatic & insane :)

I love the names she gives - the Tartan Wizard & The Inkblood - but how come no nifty name for Sam, Crystal and Wally? C'mon Betty, keep it together!

That first panel is hilarious. Also, I'm surprised that Black Betty didn't already take a side.

God damn it Joe. hahaha so fantastic!

Oh yes! Random Stranger, its time you are responsible for the grand scheme of things. Ready for the pop Quiz!?

I just want to say - I've discovered this comic two weeks ago. Love at first sight, and the way it's been developing is just INSANELY good. Amazing. Like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Sandman" crazy good.

So, you know, thank you for creating and maintaining a modern-day masterpiece!

Geez, that's quite a decision to drop on someone. At least buy the girl a drink first.

I love the random character's reaction. It's not, why is there a monster talking to me, it's "I'm going to need more context."

Poor girl just wanted to get a picture of those abs.

No pressure...

I fucking love the Pooka. Joe I fucking love your work. Seeing Zebra Girl evolve is ever so much fun. Thankyew mate

For the record, I vote for helping the scooby doo squad. I would just love to see their reactions when they meet Black Betty.
I'm sure it wouldn't last long. She'd probably try to seduce Wally in front of Crystal just for the fun of it. Maybe there would be a knife fight with Tomie, or some kind of M. Night Shyamalan twist where she turns out to be Sam's niece or something.

Joe, for what it's worth, the work you put into your buildings and other assorted set dressing and backgrounds is really beautiful. It's one of several things I love about your art, your scenery is always exquisitely detailed. Even when it's just a shadowy gradient with no features there's always texture and lines that make it look like you care. It is greatly appreciated!

She seems very creepy, yet cute in a psychotic, scary sort of way and rather sexy. Of course the latter might have a lot to do with her tastes in (a lack of) clothing.

The great irony, of course, is that it's already taken care of. No lives really hang in the balance. It's all going according to plan.

Unless she interferes.

Is this going where I think it's going? Is this going to be an audience response type thing, where the readers get to vote on how this girl responds, swaying Black Betty's actions and altering the outcome of the story?

Because if that's the case, then it would probably screw up your current plans for the story. Unless you don't have plans, but why would you not have them? You have them. I think. I'm, like, 97% certain you do.

Also, can only certain special people see Black Betty? It seems that this girl may or may not be the Earth version of the Otherworlds' Alice who lost her name. If that's the case, then maybe she can see Pookas and other things? And if this particular Pooka had a smart phone, would it be a Black Betty Blackberry?

I notice Black Betty didn't mention Crystal and Wally and being hunted. I thought the team splitting up was part of some sort of plan, but now I don't know.... Why would Wally and Crystal split up from the rest of the gang knowing that there are invisible vampires on the prowl (I would assume the Ghoul warned them)?

..in the counsels of the hare, rabbits, and pooka, it is best to keep advice within the realms of the long eared and long footed for the two footed are slow and ill attentive.
-the book of lepus, page twitch ear, paragraph thump foot.

Did last week's page change? I don't remember the camera sound effect and Pooka looking more relaxed and less agitated.

Advice for pooka: get rid of vampires and demons; we don't need them. Humans have plenty of real-life monsters and demons to dispose of: they're called dictators, shady lawyers and politicians. Oh, and let's have more nude female rabbits, but without all the sharp teeth. Hug, cuddle.
