Right now, she’s attending go business, so has to remain focused. Later, while relaxing, she will get a latte so complicated that it will make the barista weep in despair.
I’d ask why either Pavane or Gavotte wants to drink caffeinated beverages, given that caffeine literally evolved as an insecticide, but then I remembered ths is Skin Horse and these are superintelligent aliens and presumably laugh off tiny doses of insecticide — or they engineered tea and coffee plants in the first place and caffeine is not an insecticide for *real* bees at all, and my pedantry was obviously operating on a level far too unrefined for this work 🙂
I will never be able to forget Weird Al playing the Beverly Hillbillies theme song to the tune of Money for Nothing. You were all thinking of it too, don’t try to deny it :p
So a mother-and-daughter are meeting. Refreshments, they might be appealing. It’s black coffee requested, that the daughter was vested. But maybe the tea was Darjeeling?
Classic Hitty. Never change.
Play to your strengths!
Pavane is mostly safe from hitting. I am less sure about hitty’s coffee.
Let’s hope Hitty wasn’t taught how to ‘make a mean brew’ by Dr. Lee!
They do reference Agatha in the comments there, but for truly “definately not mean at all” agatha coffee feels you really want this page: https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070625
But is either special coffee truly -mean- per se?
Hit me with that java juice!
Well, at least Pavane doesn’t want one of those hot candy bars laced with coffee that got so popular with the Starbucks crowd…

“I’ll have a frappé, then.”

And when she says “a mean pot”, she means you need to drink it quickly before it eats through the bottom of your cup.
No, no… the pot is sentient. It’s mean, so yes, it refills your cup for you, but it spills it all over you.
Hitty hits it BECAUSE it’s mean.
Pavane’s such a teenager.
Would you ride in a flying saucer piloted by a teenager?
If I got the chance, I’d ride in a flying saucer. I wouldn’t care if it was piloted by a yak.
For that answer alone, I confess that I have always loved you.
If that teenager is me, No…But, but that is adult me saying that.
Likely, I would have been just fine as a pilot.
I think I finally understand what ‘flat black coffee’ might be now thanks to Hitty.

Humans willingly consume far more toxic substances on the regular.
So help us, we each have a deadly vice.
I like my toxic hot peppers.
Moustachio’s expression is particularly wonderful in panel 3. Nobody does downcast like Moustachio’s moustache.
Granny: I’m going down to the lake to smoke some crawdads.
Police Officer: Some what?
Granny: Crawdads. But first I’ll need a little pot.
—from “The Beverly Hillbillies.” Really.
Where in Beverly Hills are there crawdads? Are they specialty marijuana cigarettes?
Griffith Park, according to the episode.
If I had to choose a greatest of all time TV series, I’d vote for “The Beverly Hillbillies”.
Also one of His Wierdness’ best parodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WPzFnZkZmI
