Sometimes, it’s not a good idea to combine court rules with courtly manners. Never fear; just like her real-life counterpart, Nickey’s not one to stay embarrassed for too long.

This strip is the second of many underwritten by my fond friend Flare Starfire, whose magnificent music can be found and downloaded, absolutely free, from his website, Shire Records.

His work is entirely improvised, and it’s all amazing. Enjoy!
