New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for October 29, 2012

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DROWN!!!

Hmm. According to that map, by Wednesday afternoon it will be right on top of me.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!

We at the Reader’s Bureau also hope that everyone manages to stay safe.

Eek—the cone of uncertainty is threatening as far west as Pittsburgh. When I lived in Florida (even though it was Jacksonville, which everyone said was immune to hurricanes given its longitude), the National Hurricane Center was bookmarked on my computer.

I forgot Pab ilves in south jersey, me too. Thank you, Pab for the laugh. :D Now back to our regularly scheduled terror report.

I’m telecommuting from the CT shore, waiting for the power to go out. I’m on a hill, but leaving the neighborhood might be an issue when the worst of the surge hits; at least I’m in eastern CT and not at the pointy end of the funnel that is LI Sound. We’re getting the worst of the wind up here..I’m well-stocked with water and Halloween candy, so I’m good for several days. And I just filled my insulin prescription.

Wow. Comics used to have weeks of uncertainty because of lead time.

Poor Otto will NEVER get them home now!

Spoke to my brother in Ct. a few minutes ago. While the State has prepared, I don’t think anyone really can appreciate the magnitude of this storm. To all my Northern friends, stay safe and dry and take care to heed your local government’s alerts.

Well! For once my home state, Delaware, makes it into a comic strip. Not that Delaware isn’t a comic strip unto itself . . .

I’m at 9,000’ in New Mexico, so I’m safe, except for lightning hitting nearby trees and blowing 25’ chunks of pine through our roof.

I agree with the author. The media has to do something when ratings start to fall on election coverage. We need a really creative super-pac to support the hurricane.

Haddon Heights, NJ for me. About 10 minutes east of Philadelphia. Should be fun.

…since the storm is currently threatening 60 million americans, which is more than twice the population of canada, this canadian COULD say, (in response to your facetious remark), that threatening 60 million americans is “a good start”…I COULD say it, but, as a nice polite canadian, i won’t… hope everybody pulls through fine…

Ima, I am a Merchant Marine officer whose regular route involves the eastern seaboard. Please don’t copy the newscasters who say, “the storm has passed safely out to sea….”. That means that I and my coleagues are taking a beating.

That will take care of that pesky U-boat that Vickie has been having such a bother with……

We have guests visiting from England – leaving on Wednesday but wondering if their visit was such a good idea after all.

Great strip – gives a sense of sincere concern while getting in a little laugh. Nicely done, Pab!

I’m in Southeast Virginia. Over 48 hours of rain and wind. Still have power (knock wood) and only small lake in the back yard so far.

I might feel a little more secure if the path on the weather map didn’t look like a tornado.

So far so good down here in slower, lower Delaware. Getting my comics read now in case the power goes out. Stay safe everyone.

The Baltimore media has not latched onto the “Frankenstorm” handle, thanks be to God.
