Iss 9 P 35 "Later for this!"

And lo, Veronica Kane shall do as she has always done, and she shall try to reason with the unreasonable.

And when in the natural course of events this has not produced a desirable result, then shall she become injured, which shall give her cause to retreat.

Upon which time she shall shrink to a remarkably small size and hide, as she is wont to do.

So let's discuss jjst why Prom Queen is so intractable, shall we?

I've gone to great lengths to illustrate that Ronni is trying various logical tactics on Prom Queen that aren't working. Eventually she quits trying and scampers off. But our young Miss Kerr is quite antagonistic. Let's look at why.

First there's the red dress. This is a senior prom, not a hooker convention. That sparkly red dress showin alla them dirty pillows is just plain in bad taste, and it advertises just what sort of woman would wear such a thing. Plus that whole 'red flag in front of a mad cow' thing.

Then there's the fact that her date just won prom queen over Ayesha. Her boy date. Prom Queen really is very angry about that on a number of levels. After all, that boy is an abomination that's going to hell, as she'll explain later.

Then there's the fact that she is first and foremost a schoolyard bully. How did that go again?

Because that's how one communicates in her world, apparently. Wonder what the past few years have been like for old Bobbie. Yikes.

 Note cameo on the wall of Major Thompson, who we foreshadow here. And of course his pic is on the wall, he's grandpa. And he was a hero. I actually have  guide to all of the photos on the wall back there in that page. Apparently because I am a crazy person.

I liked the three panel shot and complimented Koen on it- who promptly said "You put dat in de script. I just drew what you asked." Explained why I liked it so much, but I still like the way Koen drew it far more than what I had envisioned.

Willie Nelson joke was born out of me wanting to have PQ distracted so Ronni could do her thing and actually have it work. After all, the hick is a little dumb, should use it against her. And the shrinking sequence is really pretty keen here. Koen makes the beginning and end forms solid and everything in between is a bit transparent- so far this is our favorite version of this tactic of hers. The process boys sigh at us a lot.

Okay, there's this page in review. Hopefully no spoilers, but a behind the scenes of today's comic. Thank you and good night!
