Well, that's one problem solved.

Oh man, poor dude.

It's really not his night.


And eeeeeee, sneaky Betty. I saw what you did there.

Savage.

That's gonna be one ugly vampire.

Oh man, Black Betty is so enjoyable to watch happen from a safe distance away. Thank goodness she's there and I'm here!

I mean... She's not lying? I'm pretty sure Zandra's "Reign of Terror" was (or is) going to included both humans AND monsters. A healthy dose of fear might keep both sides from going all murdery-like.

I still don't know what's up with that chain in black betty's ears... seems uncomfortable and wouldn't it limit the motion of her ears?

Her problem solving is qu8te great.

I wonder who does Betty's nails, they're really nice.

Sneaky Betty is almost as sneaky as Joe. Panel 5 has her showing unsettling levels of subtlety in severing our good officers radio, while still prattling on.

and I was going to make a crack about where Betty would rank on the "crazy/hot" matrix, but I think her crazy rating would involve exponential numbers

Darn....all the good ones are taken..

Did she just literally cut off his nose to spite his face? Ooooh, good job there.

Did she just literally cut off his nose to spite his face? Ooooh, good job there.

Well at least he didn't say "it burns when I pee"

I wonder how quickly they regenarate (sp?) if they do indeed heal back up? Hrmmm...

That last panel. I laughed unreasonably hard.

She really shouldn't keep her finger on the trigger like that, should have paid more attention in firearms safety.

Since when did she have the chains in her ears?

...And if thine nose offendeth thee...

MINIONs. heehee :) I love it :)

"I met a vampire with no nose!"
"How does he smell?"
"Terrible!"
"..."
"Well, no D'uh! he's undead!"

Now his *phantom* nose itches.

yep never give a Pooker an open Line Like that! At least he did not say my balls itch...

Well, while she did help him, she didn't exactly... give him a hand.

Eh? Ehhhhhh?

That made me laugh so hard. God, I love that rabbit.

Stay tuned for more "That's Our Betty" after these messages!

Joe, if I hadn't said it before, your level of detail is one of the reasons I've kept following this comic, your art is beautiful.

And as a bonus, you threw in some dark humor without damaging the fourth wall! Red letter day my friend.

She's so helpful.
Look how helpful she is.

SHE'S HELPING.

PLEASE tell me she shouts "Got your nose!" while cackling. Betty is my favorite.

I do hope Rebecca and the officer's last names are Wilson and Keppel ( a very arcane reference here )... 7@=Q

Just clicked on a link here accidentally... Literally dropped my mouth open without noticing at the first panel. Only noticed as I reached the end of the page because my mouth was going dry. So beautiful! Extremely excited to start from the beginning :-D

"If you think about your itchy nose then your whole body will start itching."

It takes a special kind of stupid to make that kind of comment after already having experienced Betty's sense of humor...

He's surprisingly complacent, considering his situation.

Now I have an image in my head of the three walking away and the poor guy in the tree saying "All right, we'll call it a draw."

Later an old English couple walks by and the wife says "Be careful. There's something in that tree." The husband replies "Don't mind 'im, he's completely 'armless."

Monster police, huh? Constable Black Betty, you're out of uniform.

One should be very careful when making requests of fae and other creatures of whimsy... They may very well grant them, if so inclined or owing favor, but beware your wording. For if there the slightest room for interpretation, they shall most assuredly abuse it for amusement, mischief or malice! Our friend here, for example, HAS had his nose itch relieved! By having the problem quite capably... Removed. These very principles can extend to granted favors and wishes. A trinket that hides you from scrying may not hide the trinket itself. A gift of strength may come with encumbrance, spending it merely supporting oneself.

Keep such matters in mind when treading matters with their ilk, and know you do so at risk to yourself - and care especially that one should not become indebted to such wily beings however possible. For a gift granted freely and without consequence from their number is of such scarcity as to called into immediate doubt, for so rarely is any given without a detriment, a trick, a condition... and even with these, often a price.

What price? They come in many forms, bearing on their need, fancy, spite, or whim. Think carefully on what they ask, lest the price be the asker themselves.


(Relevant? Maybe, maybe not. It was going to be comment on the danger of a simple request around someone like Betty, but I felt a spur of whimsy myself and spun into a bout of prose. Forgive my wandering digits. The fae are an interesting topic, but all that aside, I find whimsical characters like Betty so very entertaining.)

i want to be pooka zin when i grow up
