Whoa, now THAT would be funny. A smoldery Dru and a clueless Amos. Hehehe!

There’s also that hair fairy character from Pibgorn, who could be one of the lesser fairies.

Just had to bump this. It looks like Edda’s shown up, though I can’t yet know her character.

Maybe **ddgryphon** has it guessed right?

I’m pretty darn sure that was Edda as Helena today. One for me!

Some folks from the strips who I haven’t seen cast here yet:

Juliette Burber  
Her wimpy boyfriend (husband?) Elliott  
Burkhardt’s easily-duped girlfriend (don’t remember her name)  
Seth’s partner (don’t remember his name, either)

I thought Oberon was indulging in a little ass-grab this morning, but closer inspection has me thinking it was a parallax error on my part.

Any other opinions on this?

I agree, although it might be an intentional sort of visual pun, given that it already happened once in the series. But Titania in the last panel is unmistakeable.

I’m loving this series. The three-panels-a-week has me on tenterhooks on the off days. I can’t wait for my Pibgorn/Midsummer Night’s Dream fix! I’m reading along in my college Shakespeare tome, too. He’s keeping just the best, plot-driving lines.

I wish to OG there was a _Pibgorn_ TPB. ☹
