34: In For A Penny
Ironscarf on June 13, 2024
Finally we get to meet all five members of the Elmwych Paranormal Investigation Club, but it seems four of them haven't been entirely honest with club chairperson David. Whatever their sinister secret is, let's hope he can keep it. The consequences look a bit, prickly!

I think the most humorous thing about David is the fact that he is so normal and just assumes everyone else is too. It must make him feel more a part of something even if that something is not what he planned on! Lovely to see I've missed an update too! I hope when the Duck gets it's revamp we will get big notifications about our comic updates like they do on Fury and Tapas as I tend to forget to go through my faves list looking at upload dates.

David is very much the representation of normality in this comic, but in a world where everyone appears to be taking a paranormal turn, perhaps normal is the new strange! As for updates, my currently slow rate is sure to have me falling off the radar somewhat, so I'm super appreciative of everyone who takes the time to leave a comment, thank you!

Oh, I missed two updates! Great to see these as always! Are we to anticipate a multiple-monster-metamorphosis on this page? And Lydia, you saucy, entendre-dropping li'l devil!

Definitely some revelations to come, but hopefully no actual metamorphosis(es-i?) in the pub. Or the could put it down to a bad batch of Tipsy Mallard ale. That stuff can be deadly if the cellar temperate starts to rise!

I can't shake the suspicion that David isn't the only normal person at the table, even if he doesn't yet know what "gift" he has.
Ironscarf at 5:59PM, June 13, 2024
An interesting theory and one I couldn't possibly comment on! Normal can be a gift in it's own right of course, in the right circumstances, when the time is right, if you're not afraid to use it.

A good pub is better than a secret. A good pub can be a secret love.

It can and this is a real one too! It's not called The Rookery, but they definitely have all the adult beverages you could possibly need.

So Lydia was that powerful presence you felt between your Legs?
Ironscarf at 4:38PM, June 13, 2024
That's about the size of it and they all seem to know, but he doesn't seem to know they all know. It's very much on a need to know basis!

It's certainly a very inclusive club, seeing that they've even admitted a human and let him go up the ranks. David seems to take it pretty well, too. To quote one of my favourite famous dead German poets: "One can see something a hundred times, a thousand times, before really seeing it for the first time."
Ironscarf at 8:15AM, June 13, 2024
There was actually no club until David started it up (more on that in a page or two), so he might be the most successful (and most clueless) seeker of the supernatural ever! And thanks, I was unaware of Christian Morganstern - will investigate more of this dead German poetry.

Poor David the token normal human. That's a cruel trick to play on him. From what I understand That's how Van Helsing got so bent on monster killing.
Ironscarf at 6:05AM, June 13, 2024
Haha! really? I would hate to see David devote his life to hunting down and killing his new girlfriend.😔

It looks like David is the only non paranormal person in the club.

We've all been there: you're trying so hard to find something you don't see it, right in front of you the whole time. Granted, it's usually keys or phone, not vampires and werewolves.
