Swan Eaters by Georgia Dunn for October 07, 2019

None of which means that he isn’t your father?

“She was that kind of lady; Times were hard, whoa.

She come curling ’round you like fingers.

But she’ll leave you Crying in the night

She will leave you Crying in the night

She’s back in town and she’s looking around

Come on baby, She’s the wrong kinda girl

She’s a come-on lady, She’s a tarnished pearl”

— “Crying in the Night” from the wonderful Buckingham Nicks album

So, mom was the one responsible for that “mad monk shortage.” Did she scare them strait?

Morbis acts just like Rasputin’s Ghost doesn’t hassle him when he’s drunk. Would he go to that much trouble if he warn’t your father? Hex him silly, Olwen!

He’s talking about Olwen, right? So how old are they?! Or does this strip take place several decades ago?

Ah hah! I was right when I said this would be a plot point.

actually it is strait-jacket. Strait meaning narrow or confined

…obviously, Morbis wasn’t around at the time – I wonder who would tell him that about his mother?…

Either Morbis is in denial or we just learned Olwen was in the oldest profession. Given how she looked in her youth, the latter is certainly a possibility.

Now they’d say Krazy Glue.

I suppose it depends on where she was roughly nine months before the blessed (?) event. Still, no point in wasting a reputation like that. (Show Biz don’tcha know.)

Doesn’t he mean to say “shameless?”
