On a lighter note, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by NOT PAYING IT.

I was hoping you wouldn’t go with the obvious cliche’ that the old bat is a zombie pimp, but I guess that was asking for too much. Next thing you know Frankenschmittler is going to show up for a date and Deverombie is going to be the freshest face in town.

What?

It’s obvious when you put together ugly Vudu crone, House of the Rising Sun, ceremonial dagger, and Deveraux all within a few pages. The only piece of the puzzle that I haven’t fit into the timeline yet is where Custer’s lower half went, but I’m trying to keep my breakfast down right now.

P.S. Just kidding (sort of). I’d already sorta written off Deveraux when he abandoned the crew the first time around, but I didn’t know what his fate would be. Seeing him make a deal with a witch doctor on the same island as the nice villagers wasn’t something I was expecting, but given the seriousness of Deveraux’s personality (the humor is at least partly a cover), I won’t be surprised to find out that he’s not made this decision lightly. I just hope that the witch knows what she’s doing.
