Unless St. Charlie’s been surreptitiously upgrading it, I think she has a few signal-cannon type guns (to fire salutes) and the rest are replica black powder muzzle-loaders.
Well, she had just arranged for a mutant army,
Seeing hard the need for air-support.
Tried to find her a good sensible solution,
But no matter to who she talked,
They wouldn’t listen to the voice of reason,
They all said, “We’ve got plans that we can use.”
Now she’s got the lack of tail-waggin, bad misunderstandin’, doublin’ the dragon blues.
Well, she should be sittin’ in a DC gubmint office with a swivel chair.
Puffin’ up with self-importance,
Sayin’, “put those filled-out papers over there.”
Now she’s stuck there, runnin’ the rebels by a nag,
And hoping for some way better news.
With those lack of tail-waggin’, bad misunderstandin’, doublin’ the dragon blues.
You know, a dog of her ability,
Should be chauffeured in a limo car.
But till she gets this fight won, she’ll have to keep Annex One
In this Kansas plains circus of stars.
Well, all she can do is hang her head,
It’s hard to express what she feels.
And comin’ for this fair of fantastic creatures
Are enemies all too-too real.
So don’t ‘spect no end-good, though Kay and her friend could
Back up the Constitution’s sky cruise,
With some good ol’ lack of tail-waggin’, bad misunderstandin’, doublin’ the dragon blues.
—from “Workin’ at the Car Wash Blues,” written and performed by Jim Croce. (Yeah, I used it once before, but “air support” fit so well in it.)
At first I thought it was a pair of dragons, but the ratio of front feet to heads is off.
At least, if we’re considering obvious front feet. There could be a couple more out of frame.
I don’t remember seeing this character before, although obviously they know Sweetheart. Who doesn’t seem too surprised to see them.
I always wonder about two-headed characters, whether they’re one character who can pay attention in multiple directions at once, or two characters who have to communicate to one another what they see or (independently) think? Most writers, I guess, prefer to write them as two characters, because that way they can have funny dialog when there’s no one else in frame.
Exactly! We now underrepresented in Churro Stands! Do you not see the urgency? Oh you say, 5 people can be served at at time. But what happen when 3 more show up? Right – They Have To WAIT!
Half expected it to be the derpy chimera from Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic.
Hey, the St. Charlie forces are perfectly safe for their _allies_ (as long as they’re pointed in the right direction and well below the horizon line.)
Unless someone tries to spin up a 4HU style mobius gun in atmo using discarded bicycle parts
Doesn’t the U. S. S. Constitution have cannons?

It’s going to be fine – they have Tech Support!
I thought there was only 1 Dragon?
That’s me, and I mated.
So who’s your friend, and would we approve?
Sorry, Robert. It’s her choice, and she doesn’t need our approval.
I’m way too vested to back off.
Are you/we sure it’s not a single dragon with 2 heads? That third panel doesn’t exactly make it clear, with only 2 feet and 2 wings showing.
Three heads would be a Japanese movie monster!
No! Not the churro stand!
*The* churro stand? The are five more with 12 feet of that one!
The other Cobras made it to the fair, too!

I can have funny dialogs with myself, And I only have ONE head.
I think this applies to most of the people who post here.
Which reminds me of this

I love Sweetheart. That is all.
Sweetheart should know by now that non-sensible choices have always worked better for her in the end.
Also…St. Charlians? Maybe St. Charlieites…maybe St. Charlegasques…
St. Charligans?
St. Charligans Isle??
I couldn’t do the song justice…I leave that to others with more talent than I
The Dire Days Of Willowweep Manor landed in my post box today. Looks like fun. Thank you and the Couscous Collective.
So Sweetheart gives a retort: she’s saying “We need air support.” But two (or one) dragons will help with zig-zaggin’s in blue skies above, to report.
