| The Mansion of E - Wednesday, August 27, 2003 | [[Sylvester and Rosemary stand in front of a door labeled "POT ROOM"]]
/ Sylvester: Ah.. here we are. I think.
/ Rosemary: "You think?" This is going to be an indoor marijuana farm, isn't it? / [[They are looking out from a small balcony high up on the wall. The room proves to contain nothing but a single, unbelievably enormous pot.]] / Rosemary: Just say no.
/ Sylvester: "Pots Room!" That's right, we need the /Pots/ Room... http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030827.html |
| The Mansion of E - Thursday, August 28, 2003 | [[A hallway in the Mansion.]]
/ [[Sylvester: Sorry about that.
/ Rosemary: No problem. / Sylvester: The room we need is right down here.
/ Rosemary: OK. / [[They continue walking for three panels, as Rosemary becomes silently but visibly aggravated. Doors are labelled "Dandelion Wine" and "Ersatz Sphagnum"]] / Sylvester: Better break down and ask, or you'll burst.
/ Rosemary: How the /fratz/ did you get that pot into that room?
/ [[The door in the last panel is labeled "Shoes & Ships & Ceiling Wax".]] http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030828.html |
| The Mansion of E - Friday, August 29, 2003 | [[A hallway in the Mansion. A door is labeled "Backstories"]]
/ Rosemary: So how DID you get the pot into that room?
/ Sylvester: It was Angus, the 16th Earl. / Sylvester: He captured it while battling our arch-nemesis, the Mansion of S. It was some kind of sacred relic... or something. They drug [sic] it all the way back here and built the room around it. Angus would come down late at night and gloat over it.
/ [[Insets show the giant pot being brought back to E as a spoil of war, and the room being constructed around it.]] / Rosemary: This Angus sounds like a fun-- Wait. "Arch-nemesis?" Don't we have enough trouble already, without having one of those?
/ Sylvester: Oh, no. That's all over with now. / Rosemary: Oh. Well, that's good to hear...
/ Sylvester [thinking]: Man, is it over... http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030829.html |
| The Mansion of E - Monday, September 1, 2003 | [[A hallway in the Mansion. The door in the background has a partially visible label: "Back -round -etails"]]
/ Rosemary: So /this/ is the Pots Room?
/ Sylvester: Oh, no... / Sylvester: This is just the room where we get the stuff we need to get to the Pots Room. / [[Rosemary glares at the mining helmet Sylvester has handed her.]]
/ Sylvester: What's the matter? I can't believe that /you'd/ be wimping out at this point. / Rosemary: Actually, I was wondering why MY miner's helmet looks like a propeller beanie.
/ Sylvester: Oh. Right. That one belongs to Mortimer. I'll see what else we've got... http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030901.html |
| The Mansion of E - Tuesday, September 2, 2003 | [[Sylvester is tossing things out of a closet, including a sneechstick, a shield and a fleeb.]]
/ Sylvester: There has to be /something/ in here that you can use... No... No, that won't do... / Sylvester: Wait... What do we have here...
/ [[There's a cute dead critter floating in a jar of liquid on the shelf above Sylvester's head. On other side of him is a faint enigmatic figure inside a snowglobe]] / [[Sylvester hands Rosemary a mining helmet with little wings mounted on it.]]
/ Sylvester: Try /this/ on for size... / Rosemary: I like it.
/ Sylvester: I thought maybe you would. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030902.html |
| The Mansion of E - Wednesday, September 3, 2003 | [[Rosemary has acquired a sword and shield. Sylvester is putting on a pack]]
/ Rosemary: All right. I have to ask.
/ Sylvester: Yes? / Rosemary: Out of all these zarking storage rooms, why is the only one which appears to contain things which are even remotely useful also the only one not to be labeled? / Sylvester: Ah, that's so we can always find it when we need it. It's totally unique, isn't it? Shall we be off? / Rosemary: Uh.. right. Sure.
/ Rosemary [thinking]: Was that really profound, or really really stupid? http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030903.html |
| The Mansion of E - Thursday, September 4, 2003 | Rosemary: So we're /really/ going to the Pots Room?
/ Sylvester: We're on our way. This time for sure.
/ [[The background wall is clearly labeled "POST NO BILLS", and there are several signs labeled "BILL" pasted on it.]] / Sylvester: The door to the basement is just down there, and after that, we-- Uh...
/ [[There are several hard-to-read signs on the wall. One of them reads in part "All hail the.." and features single bloodshot eye]] / Rosemary: What's wrong now?
/ Sylvester: You are aware that we are risking our lives to get something we can buy in five minutes down at the World O' Pots in the village?
/ [[The large sign on the background wall says "PHALLIC OBJECT"]] / Rosemary: /I/ don't have any money to buy a pot. Do you?
/ Sylvester: Broke /and/ insane! You just may fit in around here after all... Onward!
/ [[One of the signs on the background wall shows a pair of eyes and the legend "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU." The other appears to be a passage from Alfred Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade".]] http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030904.html |
| The Mansion of E - Friday, September 5, 2003 | [[Mortimer is still running for his life, pursued by the shark. Two Nomes (sic), Frotz and Gnusto, watch the chase from their perch on a tree limb.]]
/ Mortimer: YAHHH!!! / Frotz: Lemme tellya, I've had days like that.
/ Gnusto: I hear ya. / [[Gnusto has a realization.]] / Gnusto: You talkin' about the shark, or that goofy-lookin' thing he was chasin'? http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030905.html |
| The Mansion of E - Monday, September 8, 2003 | [[Standing in front a large wooden door.]]
/ Rosemary: So this door leads to a basement full of monsters? I'm surprised you didn't board it up or something.
/ Sylvester: Well, it's complicated, you see--
/ Comshaw's voice: Hello? / Sylvester: Yes?
/ Comshaw: Sorry to intrude, but I needed to ask... did a giant monster possibly come this way? Slavering fangs? Bloodshot eyes? / Rosemary: We killed it and we ate it.
/ Comshaw: You ki-- Ah. I see. Thank you. Good day. / [[Somewhere underground. There is a stalagmite in the background.]]
/ Niddle: They did WHAT?
/ Camora: Why haven't you boarded up that door?
/ Comshaw: Well... it's complicated, you see... http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030908.html |
| The Mansion of E - Tuesday, September 9, 2003 | [[Somewhere underground. There are stalagmites and stalactites.]]
/ Camora: "Complicated"? Whadda mean, it's complicated?! / Camora: Whatever those things are, they are clearly dangerous, and must be dealt with! / Cornshaw: Well, yes. And I'm going inform the Council right now that there are--
/ Camora: The Council? HA! / Camora: /I'm/ going to get someone who can /really/ help!
/ Niddle: They killed it and ate it? http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030909.html |
| The Mansion of E - Wednesday, September 10, 2003 | [[Comshaw is using an aurilnode.]]
/ Comshaw: Hello?... Oh, hello. This is Comshaw... Yes... My report? Um. You know those creatures living up top? They might be /humans/ after all. I... What? / Comshaw: You already knew. But how... I see. Yes. What are you--... Oh. Yes. Of course... Yes. Thank you. Goodbye. / Comshaw [thinking]: They're going to "handle it." They're going to handle it, and Camora's gone to get someone who can "really help."
/ Niddle: THEY KILLED AND ATE A /DORNBEAST/! / Comshaw & Niddle: We have to get out of here! http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030910.html |
| The Mansion of E - Thursday, September 11, 2003 | [[Beside the door to the Basement of the Mansion.]]
/ Rosemary: Wait... that was a gnoll!
/ Sylvester: Yes. / Rosemary: Gnolls don't talk! They grunt! They live in burrows and root for worms!
/ Sylvester: Huh. Maybe where you come from. Here, they talk. / [[Rosemary and Sylvester stare at each other.]] / Rosemary: Do they at least eat worms?
/ Sylvester (leaving): You know, it's funny, but I've never had the slightest urge to find out. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030911.html |
| The Mansion of E - Friday, September 12, 2003 | [[Inside Comshaw, Niddle and Camora's home. A shelf with various objects. A Pronged Device. A portrait of a Gnoll. A sketchy diagram of a Human.]]
/ Niddle: Where can we go that's safe?
/ Comshaw: We'll go to my cousin Louch's place, out in the forest. He owes me enough favors. / [[Comshaw puts a fleeb in a backpack]]
/ Niddle: The forest? I've never been out in the forest.
/ Comshaw: It's not as dangerous as they say. As long as you stay out of certain areas. And keep out of the sun.
/ {{This is the second appearance of a fleeb.}} / Niddle: It's not that...
/ Comshaw: (sigh) What's the problem, Niddle? / Niddle: They say they still eat /worms/ out in the forest.
/ Comshaw: Right. Good point. They /are/ a bunch of hicks out there. Go pack a box of beetles to take along. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030912.html |
| The Mansion of E - Monday, September 15, 2003 | Niddle: Comshaw, how are we going to get outside? If we go through the Sneeches' territory, we--
/ Comshaw: Oh, no. We're not going /that/ way. There's an alternate route. I use it all the time. C'mon.
/ [[Comshaw locks his door.]]

| The Mansion of E - Tuesday, September 16, 2003 | [[Beyond the door to the Basement.]]
/ Rosemary: So anyway. What now?
/ Sylvester: From here, we really only have two choices. / [[A very sinster-looking archway, with flames spouting behind it.]]
/ Sylvester: We can either go through that archway there, fight our way down past the territory of the Sneeches, find a way acroass the Great Chasm and the River of Fire, and finally answer the Three Great Riddles... / Rosemary: Or?
/ Sylvester: I almost hesitate to mention this option, but we could also take... / [[A very ordinary-looking elevator door, with a plant to one side in a pot.]]
/ Sylvester: The elevator. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030916.html |
| The Mansion of E - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 | [[Standing in front of a sinister archway.]]
/ Rosemary: You said there's a colony of Sneeches down there? Which kind, slate or chalk?
/ Sylvester: Alabaster, actually... / Rosemary: /Alabaster?/ Those aren't the ones that breathe fire, are they?
/ Sylvester: That's /charcoal/. The alabaster all have six arms, and those eye-beams. / Rosemary: I see. And is that a /real/ Anti-Sneech Stick you've got there, or just a cheap knock-off?
/ Sylvester: Well... Um... / Rosemary: OK. Now I /really/ have to see this elevator of yours.
/ Sylvester: (sigh) Somehow, I was afraid that you were you were going to say that...
/ [[Sylvester tosses the Anti-Sneech Stick over his shoulder.]] http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030917.html |
| The Mansion of E - Thursday, September 18, 2003 | [[Standing in front of the Elevator.]]
/ Rosemary: OK, out with it. What's so awful about this elevator?
/ Sylvester: Technically, there's nothing wrong with the /elevator/. It's-- / [[The elevator door opens, revealing The Operator.]]

/ The Operator: As I said... GOING DOWN? / Rosemary: You're trying to intimidate us, aren't you? / [[The Operator's head swells to enormous size, pushing its way out of the frame.]]
/ The Operator: YES / Rosemary: It's not working.
/ The Operator: Well.... rats.
/ Sylvester: urk http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030919.html |
| The Mansion of E - Monday, September 22, 2003 | [[Inside the Elevator.]]
/ Rosemary: Nice elevator you have here.
/ The Operator: The finest in the Mansion. Which floor, please? / Rosemary: Floor? Uh.. Sylvester? Which floor do we want? / [[Sylvester is cowering in the corner.]] / Rosemary: Wow. You even made his eyes look like yours.
/ The Operator: I got this way because I practiced too much in the mirror.
/ [[The sign on the wall reads "Welcome to The Elevator. Operator #6426236. No littering. No spitting. No talking. No running. No folksinging. No split infinitives. No putting the cart before the horse. No warranties expressed or implied. Don't forget to tip. Have a nice day. Do not read this sign."]] http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030922.html |

/ < http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030924.html |
| The Mansion of E - Thursday, September 25, 2003 | [[Somewhere in the Basement.]]
/ Niddle: How did you know he's feelin' mighty low?
/ Comshaw: Digger's always feelin' mighty low. What seems to be the problem today, Digger?
/ Digger: Can't get into the forest. / Comshaw: What? The tunnel's gone? It can't be. After all, /you/ helped dig it!
/ Digger: New guard. Wouldn't let me by. / Comshaw: New guard? The Council didn't hire any "new guard" for the tunnel.
/ Digger: He twas most insistent. / Comshaw: C'mon, you two. We're going to get to the bottom of this!
/ Niddle: Can't we just stay on top?
/ Digger: Bottom's not so bad once you get used to it. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030925.html |
| The Mansion of E - Friday, September 26, 2003 | [[Inside the Elevator.]]
/ Rosemary: No riders for three months? You didn't just bring a gnoll up here?
/ The Operator: A gnoll? No, I"m afraid not. / Rosemary: How about a giant tentacled monster with bloodshot eyes and slavering fangs?
/ The Operator? A dornbeast? Certainly not. I run a decent elevator here. / Rosemary: The monster /might/ have made it, but there's no way a single gnoll could get past a colony of sneeches.
/ The Operator: I agree. Not even remotely likely. / Rosemary: So how did they get upstairs?
/ The Operator: Anything is possible. It is a strange and wonderful world in which we live. Do you have any threes? http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030926.html |
| The Mansion of E - Monday, September 29, 2003 | [[Inside the Elevator.]]
/ Rosemary: So what's /your/ story?
/ The Operator: My story? / Rosemary: You said you never have any riders. So why do you keep doing this job? (And do you have any jacks?)
/ The Operator: Would you believe that I have been cursed?
/ Rosemary: Cursed? / [[The Operator poses dramatically]]
/ The Operator: Yes. I ran afoul of a powerful human wizard. He cruelly doomed me to an eternity of staring at these four walls. Trapped in this tiny box. Alone for all time. / Rosemary: Um... to answer your question, no. I wouldn't believe it.
/ The Operator: You know, you are absolutely no fun at all. I stay for the health and dental benefits. Go fish. http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20030929.html |
| The Mansion of E - Tuesday, September 30, 2003 | [[Inside the Elevator.]]
/ Rosemary: A dental plan. /You/ are part of a dental plan.
/ The Operator: Oh yes. You should have seen my teeth /before/ they were repaired. They worked on my eyes as well. / Rosemary: After you broke them practicing in the mirror.
/ The Operator: Yes. / [[Sylvester's eyes refocus]]
/ Rosemary: I dunno. There's definitely still something... uh... / [[Sylvester glances at the Operator and Rosemary]]
/ Rosemary: Swimming... swimming around in...Swimming...

/ Rosemary: You killed him. Did you see that? You killed him.
/ Sylvester: No. I mean, he's only knocked out. / [[Close-up of the frying pan.]]
/ Sylvester: And it wasn't really me. It was the frying pan; it's made of cold-forged iron. That's only thing that can really hurt him. Or at least the only thing we've found. / [[Sylvester's finger pushing a button on the elevator control panel]]
/ Sylvester: He'll be out for hours now, but I suspect that he /can't/ be killed. For good. So let's not linger.

/ Mortimer: It's still after me... Gotta find a tree to climb...
/ Killer Tree: Psst. Hey, Buddy! / Mortimer: What?
/ Killer Tree: Climb /me/! Climb me and I'll be your friend! / Mortimer: Gee, that'd be great! I'm sure-- HEY!! / Mortimer: I'm not climbing /you/! You're one of those /killer/ trees! / Mortimer: AIGH! / [[Mortimer is gone, the shark fin cruises into the shot. Tree has sprouted various weapons.]]

| The Mansion of E - Monday, October 6, 2003 | [[Somewhere in the Basement.]]
/ Comshaw: Wait up. We should let Digger catch up with us.
/ Niddle: He's really slow. Would he get mad if I just carried him? / Comshaw: No, I'm sure he wouldn't mind.. / [[Comshaw waits expectantly.]] / <> / [[Comshaw looks down at Niddle on the floor.]] / Comshaw: ..but he's a great deal heavier than he appears.
/ Digger: Almost had it there, lad. Try again?
/ Niddle: Back... broken... http://mansionofe.comicgenesis.com/d/20031006.html |
| The Mansion of E - Tuesday, October 7, 2003 | [[Somewhere in the Basement.]]
