Twist, burn, aaaaagh

The unbridled savagery of this sequence will no doubt see me branded an "outlaw" artist but I'm ready for my new life, deep underground.

  1. What an ungrateful man! Luckily, Shelley is a kindhearted girl. I hope the damage to the Guitar arm is not serious.

  2. Guitar arm? He plays one-handed? That said, the evildoer has left the constables a valuable clue in the form of his abandoned gloves.

    1. I dunno. I PLAY the guitar with my right hand, I set up the chosen notes with my left. (Yes, technically I play with both but you don’t hear many notes if my right hand isn’t doing the heavy lifting.)

      1. Fine, but it’s Gerry’s left that was injured. Is he a sinister player like Hendrix and McCartney?

    2. Seems to me that one could learn to strum with even just a stump, but the fretting hand is irreplaceable.

      1. See: Django Reinhardt for what it takes to play with a badly injured left hand

        1. Amazing. I suppose that means learning to play with only two fingers was preferable to flipping the guitar over and switching hands.

  3. Like Spring Heeled Jack, ‘ee were!

  4. Shake it up baby! Twist and burn!

  5. Gerry seems quite incapacitated – that must have been a sick burn.

  6. How is he Naruto running before there was a Naruto?

    1. Ancient ninja secrets that pre-date Naruto.

  7. Nemulon is useful!

  8. Z Cars to the rescue! (A few miles off their patch, but the Lancashire Constabulary’s devotion to law enforcement knows no bounds)

  9. I totally missed that! Explains why the police disappeared and left Shelley to take care of business.

    1. I think Shelley’s robot took the shape of a police car to scare “Pig Mask”.

    2. Yes, look at the yellow headlights, it’s Nemulon

      1. What is the weird big-headed figure behind the Police car?

  10. For a man who loves his city he seems to have a very low opinion of any unescorted ladies. Hopefully he will learn and grow after tonight.

  11. Pig man?
    What kind of charade is this?

    1. No fair! I made that joke on the previous page.

  12. Pig Man is the Egg Man.

  13. No nail polish? Hmm, I guess the pig man isn’t just Shelly in disguise.

    1. I refer you to the final panel in this comic: https://www.destroyhistory.com/2020/07/15/?post_type=comic

      Of course, Mr. Allison may be dangling a red herring in front of the readers.

      1. SchadenfreudePersonified

        NO SPOILERS! >:(

  14. The ferry operates in a rough neighborhood, innit?

  15. Everywhere there’s lots of piggies, living piggy lives, it seems.

    A Chinese Burn to the guitar rem has ruined many a promising musical career.

    But look! Gloves! Who can they belong to?

    Perhaps Princess Shelly will have to search the land, getting young men to try on gloves.

  17. Good thing that Shelly is a woman now, not an under aged girl.

    What a terrible thing to do to an artist!

  18. Ole Springheel Jack would have leaped away. If he was even afraid of police. I heard tell he could shrug off bullets and has appeared in one form or another around the world. Or was that “Jack the Ripper”? Or are they one in the same?

    Jumping Jack the Springheel Ripper.
