New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for March 16, 2013

Nothing beats the excommunication gambit.

It’s good to be the queen.

The Queen (or King) of England is the “Supreme Governor” of the Church of England — a title specifically intended to prevent any cleric from excommunicating the Monarch.

This strip amuses me — but, the Queen would not be amused.

Yeah, good point. That’s why reigning monarchs technically can’t get divorced (I did say “technically”).

He should have noticed when the Knight moved from B2 to B1 that She has no idea how a Knight legally moves.

Well, she did start with two knights.

What aliens? The French?

rank has its privileges and her privileges are certainly rank.

Is “sod” the British version of “f**k”???:It may be more specific than that; I think it’s derived from “sodomy.”

“Sod” also means “a clump of turf”.

King says" Won’t somebody take care of this guy for me?"Archbishop dies under mysterious circumstances. Your move.

When did they start using A, B, C and D in chess ? It was always R, B, K when I was playing competetively. You know, like : rook to rook 3, or if there’s two possibilities, Kings rook to rook 3.

Basically, yes. I’m a little surprised the author gets away with this one. Unless this is a web-only comic.

sod off means basicly to f..k off

I do love this comic. I guess that’s one way of dealing with checkmate.
