And here’s the full page that we previewed the other day. Mel’s really just lettin’ it all hang out.

Just a thought, could he have been in love with Susan also? Dick has no real need of physical riches but a good woman is often thought of as a great treasure. That might constitute a great sin in Dick’s eyes.
We really know nothing of Tom and Susan’s history. There might have been a lot more to Susan than a wife, mother, and nurse. Kazom has also stated that he has strong feelings for her.
>snicker< Kazom is a bit of a lech. When it comes to Susan, anyway. 😉
There’s also the possibility that they all may have a mutual interest in preventing the rise of the Blue Djinn, but Kazom apparently kept that little detail to himself. You get the impression they could have avoided all of this if their first impulse had been “ask nicely” instead of “caper”.
Note how the “boy” in 7 is in cursive. Dick clearly enjoys mocking Mel’s “masculinity”.
And Mel(anie) is carefully avoiding taking the bait.
Panel #8; I think there is an extra “A” in between “If ‘A’ anyone”.
Mel(anie), be very careful when offering your “services” to a guy like Dick, especially in your current condition.
Thanks. Fixed.
In most legendary stories of this kind – involving power-mad males, they renounce love or pleasures of the flesh in their pursuit of power.
(See Alberich in Der Ring des Nibelungen.)
I think Dick is too anxious to get that page to waste his time on Melanie.
