Dabbler telling Sydney about Astral nasties.
I think coming up with made up names is a skill like drawing or... I don't know, throwing axes. I used to get really stuck when making up weird fantasy words, like all I'd be able think of would be the word "fnrrrg" or something, but most of those names on the demon whiteboard aren't actually terrible? Well, a few are supposed to be sub-optimal since that's always going to happen when you're focus-grouping stuff.
Panel 5 is my little tribute to Norm MacDonald. I was going to name him as a character in the Who's Who, but only if I could come up with a Demony sounding name that kind of sounded like his real name, but the best I could manage was "Norm MacDemon" or "Swarm (of Locusts) MacDonald." Or... Swarm MacDemon, I guess, but that's starting to drift off point a bit too far.

Dabblers left lower arm did an interesting manoeuvre there between panels 1 and 2.

Panel 6, I read that first name as Firesquid and thought "what a weird but cool reference". Alas, it was not to be.

Nice Norm Macdonald tribute

"Peace accidentally breaks out at a pro-violence rally" That reminds me of one of my favourite jokes: I was at the fights last night, and a hockey game broke out.

The purple lady in panel six, those cute little wings look more like decorations for the head band hold back her hair?
Martin Croft
of course cats were rebranded from conceited lazy noisemaking food-chompers

If I was a demon at a pro violence rally and the Doom Slayer showed up I'd be advocating peace pretty fucking hard as well.

Inoculated is the exactly correct word to use in that instance. Keeping an open mind is important, but vaccinating yourself against the dangerous fringe stuff by studying it in isolation from social interaction so you can recognize it when someone starts spreading it is vital

You really wouldn't think people would need to be told not to make deals with Astral Horrors. But, as she said, people are people no matter what they look like (i.e. people are stupid).

I'm more partial to cats, but I have met many a friendly dog for whom it is a near perfect description.

I think that Sydney needs teeth in the last panel.

I love dogs, and yet I still love your description of dogs. :)

Those come and go as the mood strikes him.

The under-comic bit should be here, too. Wha' happen?
Christophe GABEL
Read your subtle description at the end, and can’t stop asking : You’re a cat person, ain’t you ?

Nice to see the return of the fly-by news item.
