Angry women with guns are worse than bad ass men. They get off murder wraps more often too.
hmmm, let’s see: either Pastor is gonna stop her…or Ned is gonna somehow get the gun from her and shoot her….
I do love me a good “Looking for this?” And I don’t know …. I wouldn’t sell Mrs. Belmont short here. She doesn’t look all that comfortable the way she’s holding that gun. But at point-blank range, all she needs is the modern equivalent of the sword-fighting lesson Arya gets in George R.R. Martin’s “A Game of Thrones: “Stick them with the pointy end.”
Ha! Ned thought he was the only one who had enjoyed Mrs. Belmont in her Frederick’s of Hollywood negligee. Oh, and they have matching black eyes now.
I’m sure there will be a surprise in the next episode, but I hope that Mrs. Belmont doesn’t succumb ultimately to being a victim again.
Tracy-
But Ned’s family name and established philanthropic ventures give him political connections and some measure of public sympathy. It’s quite a pickle…

A’Omare-
Mmmmm, possibly. Or maybe some a la carte combination of the above, eh?
Or neither.

Doug-
Thanks for catching that discomfort, which was what I was trying to get across. I wanted Caroline to be absolutely resolute in her demeanor, but still not quite comfortable with the weight of the gun.

Guess Who-
I dig the symmetry of the black eyes also. Pastor’s big on poetic justice.

Man, he’d better hope there’s a gun somewhere in that safe. He’s in for trouble.
This strip is contagious. Hopefully, you’ll release it in book format after this arc is finished. My favorite Pastor line so far –”I just want to ask your husband some questions. Then I’m gonna kill him!” Priceless!
