Also Pennsylvania. Weird coincidence, I wouldn’t have guessed. I’m across the border from Delaware & Maryland a bit. We usually treat Thanksgiving as the Last Day we can be just casual, relaxed family & friends, so it’s always a bit lo-fi yet high quality. Starting today (and through the first week of January) we let the normal crazy & holiday stress take over.
Cheers! And, thanks for Prentil. It’s been an amazing & fun adventure.
I had to look that reference up. I never actually paid attention to the Dead enough to really hear the lyrics. Listened to them alot, but never paid attention, if you know what I mean. What song was that a reference to?
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot,
For a taste of your elegant pride.
I may be goin’ to hell in a bucket, Babe,
But at least I’m enjoying the ride,
At least I’ll enjoy the ride.
It’s funny, I’ve been listening to that song for over 35 years and I alwys heard it as “Or a taste of your elegant pie”, not “For a taste of your elegant pride”…I like my line better, I think it fits the overall theme more closely, maybe I can get them to change it ? for a small writer’s fee
“Hell In A Bucket”
Well I was drinkin’ last night with a biker
And I showed him a picture of you
I said, “Pal, get to know her. You’ll like her”
Seemed like the least I could do
‘Cause when he’s driving his chopper
Up and down your carpeted halls
You will think me by contrast quite proper
Never mind how I stumble and fall
Never mind how I stumble and fall
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I’m enjoying the ride
At least I’m enjoying the ride
At least I’m enjoying the ride
Now miss sweet little soft-core pretender
Somehow baby got hard as it gets
With her black leather chrome-spiked
Suspenders
Her chain and her whip and her pets
Well we know you’re the reincarnation
Of the ravenous Catherine the Great
And we know how you love your ovations
For the Z-rated scenes you create
The Z-rated scenes you create
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For a taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I’m enjoying the ride
At least I’m enjoying the ride
At least I’m enjoying the ride
You analyze me, pretend to despise me
You laugh when I stumble and fall
There may come a day I will dance on your grave
Unable to dance, I will crawl across it
Unable to dance, I’ll still crawl
Unable to dance I’ll crawl
You must really consider the circus
‘Cause it just might be your kind of zoo
I can’t think of a place that’s more perfect
For a person as perfect as you
And it’s not like I’m leaving you lonely
‘Cause I wouldn’t know where to begin
But I know that you’ll think of me only
When the snakes come marching in
When the snakes come marching in
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot
For taste of your elegant pride
I may be going to hell in a bucket, babe
But at least I’m enjoying the ride, at least I’ll enjoy the ride
Ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
Ride, ride, ride
At least I’ll enjoy the ride
At least I’ll enjoy the ride
At least I’ll enjoy the ride
It’s not a typical Dead song, but it does fit their overall ‘you never know what we’ll do next’ style and they play it completely differently from time to time in concert.
They often play songs for years before getting around to putting them on an album and this one is no exception
From the same album, arguably their most ‘commercial’ one and I believe one of the few ‘official’ music videos of their hundreds of tunes.
I’m really sorry about the slow turnout of material friends. To be honest, I’m a little stuck on the this whole Croa-Tellis thing. The way the pages are written is pretty x-rated, but as most of you know I have struggled with the rating level of this comic. So, I’m kind of stuck getting this last page out. I’ll render a couple of images and be like “yea, that’s the shit right there” and then I’ll look at them the next day and be like “what the fuck, man”. LOL.
Anyway. Gonna push through. Next page will be out soon.
It’s your story to tell the way you see fit, you put a disclaimer at the start saying people might see naughty bits in various unique and intricate arrangements and that’s all that’s required.
Thirty seconds of typing random words on a search engine with ‘safe search’ turned off will turn your eyeballs to soggy rice krispies so don’t feel you have to hold anything back because the people who’ve read this far might be ‘offended’, we’re still here so we won’t be…as for the professional complainers on a drive-by yipping, that brings up my favourite answer to ‘offended’….
“It’s now very common to hear people say, ‘I’m rather offended by that.’ As if that gives them certain rights. It’s actually nothing more than a whine. ‘I find that offensive.’ It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. ‘I am offended by that.’ Well, so fucking what.”
‘I’m offended by that’ is more an opinion than a rating. You can also write ‘that, in my opinion, offends me’ (or something likewise). It is less direct but still the same feeling.
I think that you can see it as a first impression and don’t need to take it personally.
When you look at your work of art the day after (or later) you made it. It’s normal that you can get doubtful or unsure if it is what you had in mind when you created it. You look at it with a different feeling and thought. Like as if you look through someone else’s eyes.
Of course it doesn’t mean that what you’ve made is wrong.
That’s crazy cute on overload. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, and may the coming holidays also. Cheers!
Thank you! And I hope you had a great Thanksgiving as well!
Where is everyone from? Do you all celebrate Thanksgiving? I’m in Pennsylvania. We had a great Thanksgiving at the house yesterday.
I’m from Belgium, we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here.
Well you need to fly to the states some time and get yourself a Thanksgiving Feast. It is undoubtedly the best meal ever.
Also Pennsylvania. Weird coincidence, I wouldn’t have guessed. I’m across the border from Delaware & Maryland a bit.

You aren’t far from me.
I’m in South York County. 
Happy Holidays, neighbor!!
Austin, TX. I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but I always end up roasting a bird, making gravy, etc. because it’s what my amazing wife wants.
We had ours last month but any old excuse for a turkey dinner works for me
Seriously.
I’ll take turkey any time of year.
Is Aryanna looking for a taste of her elegant pie ?
Or just the Z-rated scenes she creates ?
(my not-so-sincere apologies to the Grateful Dead)
You mean Aray’s pie that Maeye is about to gobble-gobble?
LOL
I had to look that reference up. I never actually paid attention to the Dead enough to really hear the lyrics. Listened to them alot, but never paid attention, if you know what I mean.
What song was that a reference to?
He’s riffing on the lyrics to “Hell in a Bucket”—
You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot,
For a taste of your elegant pride.
I may be goin’ to hell in a bucket, Babe,
But at least I’m enjoying the ride,
At least I’ll enjoy the ride.
Oh, also the later lyric (same song) that goes,
And we know how you love the ovation,
And the scene that it seems to create.

Complete Agrecian with you (and totally read that quote in his voice
)

Love the quote. And thanks for the encouragement!
