[Temia Eszteri]:
I can only recall one previous case of seeing that grin: [level-8-156] (Panel_3)
…& back then, it wasn’t NEARLY as scary as it is now!
I’ve only seen one smile to match it, on a real human being anyway. The Assistant Lighthouse Keeper in the Doctor Who episode “Horror of Fang Rock,” Tom Baker era. Of all the creepy smiles I’ve ever seen, that one’s the only one that conveyed pure evil.
And I think that the “TOOL-LOOT” thing is a call-back to episode #117 ( https://rustyandco.com/comic/level-8-117/ ) where you have “PILFER” and “REFLIP” as sound effects for a similar grabber.
Surely, I’m not the only one seeing the Grnch’s grin on Dorilys’ face in that last panel
“You’re a mean one, Dorilys…”
“You’ve got dragons in your veins.
‘You’ve got eldritch incantations
“and a gift for causing pain
“Dorilys!
“If you catch those tricksy outlaws
“And it’s likely that you will…
“They won’t be the same!”

Dorilys smiling is a look I’m not used to seeing. And it’s one I hope to never see again.
Nice knowing you two.

…& just when you thought that the smarmy little pickup-artist would be GLAD to see her grin!

That Grinch grin though
You’re a mean one, Ms Grinch.
Most people feel a little mean when catching the culprit who ENDANGERED THE WORLD.
That is… not a good smile.

Extend tool – “TOOL”
Reverse tool – “LOOT”
Well, of course. And at the same time, appropriately, loot.
Well played, sir, well played.

Looks like the same one. Is that a box of confiscated items?
what is that thing she looted?

Derek first used that “Pocket Dimension” way back on this page: “level-8-103”
thanks
You boys missed all the excitement. Guess we’re going to have to cook up some more excitement just for you.
Am I the only one who thought of the Hook Shot?

I LIKE this idea — can we get “Tony the Tiger” to sing it, too?
“…& DON’T call me Shirley!”

always nice when someone who deserves a happy ending gets one.
[Centium]:
…& just like “IRL”, this “Happy Ending” will be costly indeed!
… I’ve seen friendlier and more welcoming smiles on striped things that stalks from the tall grass… 😮
It’s either saved or doomed with nothing in between. Typical.
Nice touch with the parallelism in the final two panels’ dialogue.
