    I do believe I see the original Moustachio!

      As well as a vintage Madblood, I do believe!

        Madblood, Count of Ximez, if I remember correctly. It’s established that Lupin is the latest of a long line of mad scientists, although unlike the Narbons they reproduce in the standard sexual way.

          By arranged marriages?

            If the older Madbloods were anything at all like Lupin, it was probably by forced marriages (if they married at all).

            They have no romantic aptitude, and they don’t have enough political clout to coerce anyone to marry them.

        And treads for extra smashing.

    At last! The “Mary Poppins” reference I’ve been waiting for!

    Now if only Gavotte will at some point say “Come along. Spit-spot!” 😉

    And I’m entranced to see how far back her relationship goes with dear Mustachio. And to see his original treads and arms as his creator exults! And panel 3 is such a delight as Mustachio discovers hot chestnuts!

      But hot chestnut tins not being a thing, he’s had to make do with those for popped corn.

      I am almost certain she has, although that couid just be a feeling that she must have.

      What, that old chestnut?

      Un-fun fact: In the late 19th century roasted chestnuts in the States went from an icon of the winter season to practically non-existent… because the blight destroyed nearly all the chestnut trees.

    …The horrors suggested at in that last panel reminds me of the movie S.O.B. For fairly obvious reasons.

    Honestly, Sweetheart, if you’re going to take it that way, there’s no hope for you. Go on, Ms. Gavotte.

      Haven’t you ever seen Blake Edwards’s “S. O. B.?”

        It is a fascinating exercise in trollery and spite, populated with a large number of talented actors and actresses who took visible pleasure in savaging the studio system. Very early Eighties, though. VERY early Eighties.

        “Sally Miles SWEARS!” Yes, I’ve seen it. I didn’t mean Julie Andrews porn. But I’ve seen, in passing, on download sites such things as Addams Family porn…

          I find myself both intrigued and terrified in equal measures at that thought.

      I should feel worse because I thought of a similar filk and was disappointed that another fan got there first.

      When I think of Mary Poppins and sex, I always think of SNL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eBG8JIGugw

    The bees were all twitterpated that intelligent life was created. But Sweetheart was vexed-and-all ’cause Gavotte had said “sexual,” like a porno so British narrated.

    If there’s ever a movie of Skin Horse, I’d love to hear Olivia Coleman voicing Pavane. (In fact, now that I’ve thought it, that’s the voice I’ll hear reading the strip.)

      D’oh, got my obsolete dances confused: I meant Gavotte not Pavane.

    Technically, an epoch is too short a period of time.

    Geological time isn’t an exact science, but it breaks down as follows:

    Ages are the smallest, on the scale of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years. Example include the Greenlandian Age, the Northgrippian Age, etc.

    [Note – geological ages aren’t quite the same as more familiar “ages” we often think of, like the Bronze Age (which lasted a few thousand years) and the Stone Age (which lasted a few milllion years).]

    The next largest category is epochs, made up of ages.The Greenlandian, Northgrippian, and Meghalayan Ages make up the Holocene Epoch, for example. Epochs are similarly varied in size – the Holocene is the current epoch, and has lasted 11,650-ish years thus far. But most other epochs are far larger – ranging from the millions to tens of millions of years.

    Next up are geological periods, which are made up of epochs. They also range from millions to tens of millions of years, but typically include two or three epochs. For example, the Jurassic Period lasted 55 million years or so, and is divided into 3 epochs – the early, middle, and late jurassic epochs.

    Periods get combined into eras, which span anywhere from hundreds of millions to billions of years. For example, the Mesozoic Era lasted about 190 million years, and contains the Cretaceous, Jurassic, and Triassic periods.

    Given that the bees arrived 100 million years ago, in the second most recent geological era to the present, technically they waited an era, or in this specific case seven epochs.

    Of course, maybe bees have their own measures for “epochs” and “eras”, and that throws my technicalities right out the window!

    (Oh, and after eras come eons, and after eons come supereons.)

    All the times we’ve seen Sweetheart obsess over goblin smut now feel like setup. This is the payoff. And it was well worth it!

    I don’t know what’s more disturbing: the thought of Mary Poppins narrating a porno, or the fact that Sweetheart has thought about it enough to liken this to it.
