The first rule of magic: I will watch my damn mouth.
The second rule of magic: No deals. ESPECIALLY not with demons.
The third rule of magic: Assuming I break the second rule, I will WATCH MY DAMN MOUTH.
Also, Sloth in that last panel is exceptionally creepy. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the mouth. And maybe the expression.
Magic, it can a guy killed.
Yay!
Last panel. Sloth. Legitimately terrifying. I will never look at manatees the same way ever again.
There's a reason they call them "deadlies"... Something Fairbairn should've thought long and hard about before starting this little plan of hers...
Why, Grandma. What large teeth you have.
Petards getting hoisted all over this page.
Indeed. "Nuked from orbit," is the vision I have here.
Ah, boo. She's going to die after all. That's no fun. :P
Not before she suffers debilitating insanity and exhaustion due to sleep deprivation!
Ah, but she's got this coming...I saw this one happening the moment that she tried to cold-cock Ben.
O'malley: Yoink!
Wow, she's stupid.
I'd have said that of her just based off of her plans...
I love Mal giving her the two-fingered salute in the second-to-last panel.
I just spotted it. Completely justified my marathon reread.
I can't even quite laugh. That's a horrifying situation.
