Panel 1:
(Narration box:)
The following morning finds Angus in North Fairmount, stocking a safehouse at the request of his employer, the Lethal Librarian…

Angus:
Good morning, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Now I’ve seen everything! A TALKING COW!

Panel 2:
Angus (clears throat):
Ahem—I am a minotaur, ma’am.

Panel 3:
Mrs. Elliot:
Don’t you go stomping around in there! I have Hummels in the china closet!

Panel 4:
Angus (hesitant):
I… don’t… stomp…

Mrs. Elliot:
You’re brown. Does that mean you give chocolate milk?

Panel 5:
Angus:
That’s a myth, ma’am.

Mrs. Elliot:
Ok… So put me down for a quart of regular and a pint of heavy cream.

Panel 6:
(Angus stomps his hoof in frustration, making a loud THUMP sound.)

Angus (shouting):
I AM NOT A COW!

(A small sound comes from the background: Tinkle.)

Panel 7:

If that’s the little girl feeding ducks, you’re in deep manure, bossy.

Courting Disaster: Bonus Question Dec. 8


A bonus Courting Disaster question this week…

A reader writes… Q: I dated an astronomy lover for a while. We’ve not been a couple for a little more than a year, but we’re still friends. Emotionally, we’ve both moved on. . . although she’s hinted she’d be open to getting back together (not interested–we make better friends).

While dating, she gave me a telescope for a birthday gift one year. She’s an astronomy buff and I think she wanted to give me something we’d both use. Thing is, I’m not that into it, so it’s been sitting in my closet this whole time. I know she doesn’t have one of her own.

I’m considering giving it back to her, the premise being she’d actually use it. However, I’m afraid it’ll hurt her feelings. I suppose I could sell it, but in my mind at least, it seems better to give it to someone who’d use it (her).

Your thoughts?
