I would crawl under the table as well. The response should have been ‘Congratulations’.

Sir Dudley do wrong…….

That definitely deserves a trophy.

Glad Boody wasn’t timing that!

She must have a wonderful personality

LOL! Hard to remember. She was either runner up or runner down.

Love the snake’s expression in the last panel.

Had to look that one up! Thanks for the lesson on harpies today, Justin!

Ocypete[pronunciation?] (Ancient Greek: Ὠκυπέτη means ‘swift wing’) was one of the three Harpies in Greek mythology. She was also known as Ocypode (Ὠκυπόδη) (“swift foot”) or Ocythoe (Ὠκυθόη) (“swift runner”). The Harpies were the daughters of the sea god Thaumas and the Oceanid Electra.

According to one story, the Harpies were chased by the Boreads. Though the swiftest of the trio, Ocypete became exhausted, landed on an island in the middle of the ocean and begged for mercy from the gods. In Greek and Roman mythology, the Harpies were creatures employed by the higher gods to carry out punishments for crimes. – wiki

He found her in the wreckage.. dying…a lump of flesh…

Couldn’t resist the easy jab, could you, Sir Dudley?

It only ameliorates the embarrassment a little that Ocythoe seems to agree. Gee!
