If you're wondering why the baby's mother is missing half her skin, look back at #47 for a hint.

A crossed out entry for #4: "Lady Malicia - Next door, cool old lady vibes. Said to come back when I'm 18 :(" The latest, number 5, is still open: "Verity - Badass devil lady. - Lives in Hell (pro or con?) Word balloons come from the castle tower: TAMILDA: "So this is Hell! It's nicer than I expected." VERITY: "I'm so glad we could do this!"
In the background, baby Regis's mother sits in a chair, feeding him from a bottle. A window shows the Lake of Fire, with a devil waterskiing behind a rowboat. TAMILDA: "So what's it like, being Hell royalty? Is it dangerous? GLAMOUROUS?" Verity, looking tired: "These days? TIRING. Devil nursemaids are great, but they get SO MANY days off. (infernal unions...)"
Verity, reaching for Regis and looking stressed: "She's only here for an hour a day." Her teacup-head has been reattached to the goblin.
Tamilda, reluctantly reaching for the still-drinking baby: "What?"
Tamilda frowns as she looks down at the baby. Regis looks at his empty bottle. His stomach gurgles.
Tamilda's "Women I Know" note appears at the bottom. Verity's name, along with "badass devil lady", is crossed out. In the line "Lives in hell (pro or con?)", "con" is circled. A little skull is drawn next to the text. |
