24: Sir Galahad
Ironscarf on Oct. 10, 2023
Here's us thinking David was a wet blanket and it turns out he was a knight in shiny armour the whole time, at least according to Lydia. Interior decorating tip of the day: if your significant other is a vampire, red sofa is a good choice.
I'll fix the spelling mistake later!

awe

Ah yes, shock and awe! Classic tactic, seems to be working well for Lydia.

I'm all for a bath scene, especially from your talented hands! XD I'm all caught up again which is nice as I was only thinking the other day that I couldn't recall seeing an Elmwych update for a while!

It 'might' be tastefully done I can assure you! It's that flashback page again - that and family commitments slowed me right down for a while. I'd like to get back to something resembling weekly updates and your ability to put out such consistent quality on a regular basis is a real inspiration. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Giving him a quickie choke with her hair was a nice touch. Lots of positives in this relationship. ★★★★★

Obviously he touched a raw nerve with the undead talk and it makes me wonder what other little tricks she might have tucked up her sleeve, or wherever she tucks them sans sleeves. He'll either learn to tread carefully or not, depending on how he wants things to go!

Lydia needs to clean off the blood and David needs to clean off some misconceptions about things he has taken for granted all his life and possibly realise that in the investigating business the old adage of it takes one to know one is certainly one bear in mind. Great page and great dialogue!
Ironscarf at 12:24PM, Oct. 10, 2023
Definitely, there's sure to be a lot to learn and a lot to come to term with if he continues down this path, and does he even have a choice? Preconceptions about vampires will be the first to fly out of the window. And thanks, I'm spending much more time on dialogue for this comic and less on unnecessary art detail, so I've been curious to know how that's coming across.

And i guess Amy can arrange a cleanup/clearout of those bodies at the cemetary? This is most intriguing!
Ironscarf at 12:06PM, Oct. 10, 2023
It gets more intriguing than that - damn my drawing hand!
Banes at 9:53AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Oh, man - this is steamy! And look at all the world building you snuck in on this page. His paranormal club is secretly full of supernatural beings - that is an amazing setup! Re: the making out, the bath is probably better. Lydia is gorgeous, but the dried blood is distracting...
Ironscarf at 12:03PM, Oct. 10, 2023
Haha! Thanks, I've been desperate to reveal that since the beginning, making me wish I could draw much faster! At least we won't have the dried blood now, which is as distracting to draw as it is to look at.

She is pretty and going to stay that way. I can deal with the goth thing. Even the vampire thing. Not crazy about the nose ring but hey, to each their own and she has other qualities.
Ironscarf at 11:59AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Compromise is important for any relationship of course, but you clearly don't mind the blood and the corpses, which is the biggie in this relationship. I think a vampire might be right for you Ply!

He is like one Galahad though. Michael Palin in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The part of David would have been a perfect fit for Michael Palin back in the day.
Ironscarf at 9:47AM, Oct. 10, 2023
That hadn't occurred to me, but you're absolutely spot on! Now I won't be able to read any of his dialogue without hearing Michael Palin's voice, for which you'll hear no complaint from me.
bravo1102 at 9:33AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Surprised she isn't a bundle of itch. That much dried blood on bare skin gets very itchy. Galahad? He's more a Percival type. Percival saved a few damsels and got another one into trouble with her knight boyfriend.
Ironscarf at 9:43AM, Oct. 10, 2023
I've never had the experience, but I can imagine it's not a pleasant one. David would make a fine Percy but I'm not sure Lydia would stand for it!
Othosmops at 8:25AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Amazing colors in this page, btw!
Ironscarf at 9:16AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Oh thank you! I was worried about the transition after 22 pages of the cemetery in shades of blue and purple.
Othosmops at 8:24AM, Oct. 10, 2023
You've got it all wrong, David: the only non-paranormal investigator in your club is you!
Ironscarf at 9:19AM, Oct. 10, 2023
If that was the case, it would mean two more supernatural beings by my reckoning. Werewolf and ghost? Wraith and Banshee? Zombie and ghoul? The possibilities are endless!
Jamie59 at 5:11AM, Oct. 10, 2023
Come on David. A Hot Bath for 2. Good clean/dirty fun. You get to run your hands over every nook & cranny. Don't miss a spot.
Ironscarf at 5:17AM, Oct. 10, 2023
It definitely sounds like an opportunity not to be missed, but as she's a vampire I'm guessing the water won't be as hot as he expected. Could put a real dampener on the proceedings!

I tought that Galahad was pure of heart, and therefore non-sexual? Or some sources say that his father Lancelot too was called Galahad, so a bit more sexual? (I'm running a tabletop-rpg campaign of Pendragon, so I'm currently reading a lot about the various characters mostly on wikipedia).
