Shock
That’s right, Ryan… Horror novel ala Stephen King… Life is often that strange. Here, Ryan could have a real best-seller on his hands!

Aw, just look at that happy smile in the last panel… How could anyone believe any malice from the li’l fellow? >:^)
The Auld Grump
Go Ryan!
There was word in yesterday’s comic that today would be Randie’s b-day. Guess the special “gift” tossed all celebrations out the window.
With Spill being the crafter of this brood of supposedly cursed minions, she sort of picks up an “Alien Queen” vibe from the Alien movie series. Also, in keeping with my Invasion of the Body Snatchers reference from yesterday, her studio can be called the “Alien Gnome Pod.” Ah, isn’t the Halloween season grand? Why, yes; it sure is.
As for the birthday girl, her dreams tonight, alone in her empty apartment with only an evil gnome and maybe a sneaky vile cat for companions can be the stuff of Halloween legend. Let her and Ryan team up on his book, him doing the composing and writing, her doing the narrating and illustrating, and they’ll have a winner on their hands.
With it being Oktoberfest time, Spill (Alien Queen) ought hit her studio (Alien Gnome Pod) and do up some gnome beer steins. A handle on the back, a hinged head and a frosty, frothy Fall brew insided will make such gnomes fan favorites.
Did the gnome’s expression change in the third panel?
Happy Birthday, Randie. Spill, you’re my kinda girl! Gnome what I mean?
Grump… looks CAN be deceiving, ya know…
Lee… Ryan knows a good thing when he sees it… this could be one of them money-making book things.
stick… steins with gnomes drinking beers on them might be fun.
punk… yes…. creepy, non?
EofO… Randie thanks you! And it’s National Coffee Day, too!
brig… Beer steins with gnomes on them might be okay, but I was thinking of steins in the shape of gnomes with heads that come off for drinking purposes.
punk… nice catch.
I gotta give Randie props for not having smashed the gnome the moment she took hold of him. You know… With her saying something like… “Oops, silly me, I guess I kind of dropped him, thanks all the same Alien Queen…er…Spill.”
gnome shaped steins? Well that’d be cool. Except that I don’t think she can do kiln work…
Randie wouldn’t be that mean. Spill is her pal… but I’m not sure how she’s gonna go about this whole thing.
Once more it’s plain that Randie is Rye Bread’s muse. Just being around her gives him story ideas. She can be the muse of novels, so she won’t be poaching on the areas of responsibility of the others.
Urania, Calliope, Polyhymnia, Clio, Euterpe, Thalia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, and Randie.
Ah… well-learned Mike… it’s true… and Ryan needs to get off his butt and write his Randie novel! That secret one.
Brig: Oui.
Brig,
Ryan had better publish it under a pen name. I suspect Randie would not appreciate what Rye Bread’s novelist’s eye will reveal about her to the world, no matter how favorable to her he thinks he’s being.
