When you murder you gotta do it all ladylike. Though to be fair she sometimes does stick out her pinky while decapitating dudes.

Didn't expect this one to actually be referenced. Wonder who would have an interest in a book of Ugly.

I wonder, how the two got that quickly from the Greek peninsula to middle italy.
I know that Gwynn is able to cast some teleportation magic but Allie must have mastered it obviously more skillfully when she can just hop to a certain location and hop back afterwards. Or did they use some kind of portal?
And we learned that Allie has her own (whimpy) offspring what will fuel the discussion who of the characters we already know is of her bloodline.

We already know that Quint is the author of the book of E-ville. If he is the author of the book of uhglee as well that would imply that he is the author of all the "books". Or do I interpret "my father thought of everything" in the wrong context... ?

Although that comic only explicitly said the book of Bhad, and the book of Uhglee were written by the same author as the Book of Gud, I think it was implied that the Book of E-ville had the same author, and now it's been clearly confirmed. We already know Quint made the Book of Gud, because that has to be the book he made with the hieroglyphics of Ra. The references there match up too well for that to possibly be anything other than the Book of Gud.

I like that, in panels 5 and 6, Pete made a good effort to show that she's old enough to have an adult son now.
Who is apparently shacking up with a 'harlot'. At least according to her mother-in-law/prospective mother-in-law.
I wonder if her name is Corsica?

How quickly do you assume is "that quickly"? She literally says "home at last" in the first panel. Other than that, there's pretty much zero indication of how much time has passed between this strip and the last.
