I promised things would get a little steamier here and that Ned probably had the most to be concerned about.
Looks like I was right on both counts.

well damn! and that’s all i’m gonna say……
I wish I was as smooth a talker as my man Pastor. I as read this Barry White started playing in my head. Very Nice!
Hillariously awesome! Pastor is smoove.
This is the funniest think I’ve read in a long time. It’s great. We see Pastor’s smooth talking and his sense of humor. I suspect Pastor was already pitching that revival tent, and soon she’ll be shouting “HALLALUYA!” Great job!!!!!
A’Omare-
Stay tuned. It’s going to be difficult to keep it Safe For Work next week.

Parker-
Right now would be a good time for a musical cue. Any suggestions? Perhaps Willie Hutch’s “I Choose You” from The Mack?

I love his choice of cufflinks (or is it an embroidered cuff?). Regardless, nice detail!
Brian-
I was dancing a fine line with this between sexy and comedic. I feared I might lapse into parody, but as long as I didn’t elicit any groans, I think it worked.

Summey-
How goes it? I actually wrote this scene first, before I came up with The Thrill-Seekers storyline. Some of the details have changed, but the punchline basically stayed intact.

Hey Jay,
I love the dialogue and the analogy in this ep. It’s dead on and I guess it answers that question that we discussed on the show, pretty much,ha ha!
Great stuff as usual man.
That was soooo smooth without being cheesy. As a woman, I must say he slid that one in there so subtlely that I wouldn’t have slapped him for being so forward either. As far as the hubby goes, what’s good for him is good for her. Why should she have to sit around and take his crap without getting something for herself? Money doesn’t keep you warm at night, but getting your shout on at “Revival” does.
Let me put in a vote for Bill Withers’ “Use Me” playing in the background: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVy5yOs0NSA
Of course, the sheer awesomeness of this song makes it a good soundtrack for damn near anything.
SNAP! I usually don’t like my filth this clean, but it’s working for me.
Fantastic dialogue, Jay, and I love that second panel.
Let’s get it on! That’s exactly what I’ve been asking for in this strip.
HA! bring it, i’ll have to wait until i get to my office then to check it out. great job jay!
Kris LK-
Thanks for noticing. That is a cufflink, and it might just have some bearing on the story somewhere down the line. Good catch.

Many thanks! It’s been a crazy week for me, so I just got that stuff off to you, including an exclusive to SiDEBAR.

MellM-
This is one of my favorite comments that someone has left for me. First, your reaction completely validates my approach for this episode! I was wondering if some of what I do might be off-putting to female readers, so thanks for letting me know your feelings. Your comment also reveals a strong degree of your personal involvement in the strip. You’re feeling it, and I’m diggin’ that! Thanks for coming by.

Thanks to you, I’ve had that song stuck in my head since Wednesday. So, seriously, “Thanks!”

This is about the closest you get to unequivocal support, Senor Cynical. Wow!
I hope you and yours are doing OK.

Doc Shaner-
Thanks. I really liked Caroline’s expression in that panel. Unfortunately, the size is really reduced, so some of the detail is lost. I might just put up a larger version on Facebook this weekend.

Guess Who?-
Anything for you, baby!

This was great!!!
Pastor is spitting pure, granulated GAME! Well played, Mister Potts.
Jorge-
Thanks! I thought I had been a little uneven with the pacing in the last couple weeks, so I appreciate it. However, I think the truth he lays on Ned next week will be even better.

SMOOTH OPERATOR, FOR SURE. Not that far off from the Creator I’m sure.

Njeri-
This was one of my absolute favorites. I almost always get a chuckle out of that line, because it’s just dripping with innuendo in such an inappropriate context.
