page 19 of part 3 of the dumb comic strip. I am glad these dark scenes have been moderately colorful.
Following this is an interlude with secondary characters that looks like it is going to be three terribly cramped pages. When I years ago drew in the requisite background data which this interlude as following from, I imagined it would be important, but it may ultimately be superfluous because I have realized while writing it that neither character thinks the interlude is all that special. In fact, the only important thing that happens in the interlude is the first mentioning of yet one other character whose appearance I have, as before, not written yet, and will not arrive at for rather some time. I go to great lengths to disguise the fact that I invent most parts as I get to them! Still theoretically easier than having a plan.

Wow. What is happening after Lope drops the bottle?
Frimpinheap sez:
Ah is it not clear? I suppose it is often is not! The bottle is the same one elpse observed before entering the building but was prevented from examining. It contains a potent chloroform-like substance. It had already been used to knock elpse out the first time, poured on a napkin or something. When the bottle breaks, the smell from the substance is overwhelming and it renders all three imps unconscious.
Indighost sez:
Oh, I see now. How strange! :)
Charmlatan sez:
elpse and lope’s back and fourth was exciting and fun. Glad to see the end of it. Well, until the chloroform wears off at least.
You think this new character coming up likes Rodney Dangerfield like all outstanding citizens?

What a terrible night to have a Lope!
