the little question mark bobble Eliza's got! so cute!
the hair ornament is a gift from ben :)
! this is the greatest news anyone has ever given me! :D
THE RINGS !!!
...and why hasn't Eliza got one yet?
it's rude to propose at the same time as someone else and every time Ben tries some other couple gets there first and steals his thunder. needs to be quicker on the draw.
I think Sid would at least half like the excuse to put it off if Ben gets in there ahead of him.
Check the hair.
hOLy f*CK I JUST NOTICED!!!!! OMGGGGGGGGGGG
And there was I thinking Eliza was complaining that she hadn't got the bodyguard job, but was only collecting tickets on the door.
Seeing Nicola just sitting there through the rant was sooo hilarious! 😄
Nicola: no, let her speak
Sometimes it's nice to watch somebody say the things you don't get to say.
Discovering that Eliza was doing all this ranting right in front of her boss makes it 100x funnier!
"Please proceed, Governor"
OMG, Knotty and Will are married now!!! Are they living above the apothecary shop, or is Knotty just hanging out there while Will works?
(I actually have a fic where he likes to come over and sit right there at the bottom of the staircase to do his studying!)
Uh, I know this is a web comic and all, but same sex couples weren't allowed to marry in this time period in England and, in fact, homosexuality was a criminal offense punishable by a prison term or even death. Or are we in an alternate universe here? (Which is alright, I'm cool with alternate universes.)
there are wizards
This whole comic is full of non-historical attitudes toward sexuality, gender, race, etc. Is Knotty and Will's marriage any more unbelievable than Nicola being a police captain and wearing trousers?
There was also that entire hinges thing.
Right, pocketed double swing hinges. Which was not a big deal.
Good point! As I said, let the good times roll!
Given that we have wizards and suchlike I would say it's a pretty good bet that this is an alternative universe where neither the homophobic nor racist crap ever took hold. Because it would suck to have to write protagonists being jerks.
And I have to admit from these comments there are a bunch of eagle-eyed fans out there!
OK, well cool. Let the good times roll!
...Does Eliza not understand that it's a bad idea to say things like that where Someone might hear?
Ah yes, Eliza really does love the taste of her own shoes.
Expectation:
Reality:
Ah, Parsley. The real star of this webcomic appears at last!
Rule No 1 when a cat is on your lap: Don't Disturb The Kitty!
There's even a song: https://youtube.com/shorts/xCygr2lQ_C0?feature=share
Princess? Is there another princess? If they're talking about Victoria, she should have become the Queen immediately upon the death of her uncle, coronation or no.
All the action is taken by Harry!
Eliza and Nicola tag team fighting crime is something i NEED to see
Ooh, Nicky's got a nice bit of grey coming in. Which is not surprising, given it's been four years as the police commander. That stress has got to have built up.
Oh wow, I knew Curtain Call was longer than most of the books but look at it!!
Seeing that stack of books makes me want to add it to the couple I already have....
Police work is, at the end of the day, WORK. :-/
I just love how characteristic this all is. Eliza getting worked up and passionate, Knotty anxiously trying to de-escalate the situation, and Will just enjoying the show.
Ehh....boring is good when on guard duty. Excitement is bad. Very bad. Sometimes fatally so.
Treasure that boredom. Hoard it, Smaug-like.
That cat is absolutely determined to not leave Eliza's lap.
Work issues outrant a painful cattachment, too, apparently. 🤕
