This was the last strip of 2016; it ran on December 15th. As usual, John Allison ran filler strips over the holidays, until the main story resumed in the new year. In this case, it segued from Lottie, who’s sitting in Erin’s chair back at the Cormorant while Shauna tells this story, musing “So Where Is Erin Winters?”
At the end of the Bobbins story “Into the Woods”, Erin had traded her soul for the life of her love interest, Eustace “The Boy” Boyce, and had to resume her Mordawwa form and return to Hell. Shortly thereafter, The Boy got himself killed again trying to Skype Erin with an occult computer, and joined her in Hell more directly, as her noble steed, the hell-horse Scientist.
Mordawwa and Scientist faced a rebellion in Hell in the Mordawwa one-shot “Kill It Before It Grow”, and at some point after that, by means unspecified, escaped from Hell and returned to Earth. “So Where Is Erin Winters?” opened with them emerging from a cave on Svalbard, back in their human forms, though with Erin still in her Mordawwa outfit, and The Boy wearing a floppy blue horse costume.
They were saved from a run-in with a pack of wendigos by Goblin Santa Claus, who, after adjudging The Boy “nice”, and Erin… within the margin of error, sent them back to Tackleford, where they appeared in someone’s back garden.
Man, I hope they’re paying their janitor extra, because it must be fun cleaning up those sinks, and anything else that might be leaking blood and other occult fluids.
It’s just like Mildred to offer a rational, scientific hypothesis (rusty pipes) to explain the newly observed phenomenon as an alternative to Shauna’s more emotional reaction and conclusion. Mildred’s intellect is an important asset to the Mystery Kids’ investigations!
