BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Brock Brent, P.I., knew he had to get into that back office, so he settled in to the front seat to wait until nightfall. The top was down, and there was a nice breeze for once. He reclined the seat back and pulled his hat down over his eyes. There wasn't anything to do now but wait; so he napped. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Clark Special did not disappoint. Brock wiped his pocket fork clean and slipped it into his pants' pocket. He put the empty container for the salad in the paper bag it came in and walked it over to the trash can on the sidewalk. He glanced at the realty office and noted the sedan hadn't moved. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 23/04/2026After chewing the fat for a bit, Dino handed Brock his order - a fresh car sandwich and a Clark Special. The P.I. decided to stake out the realty office while he enjoyed his salad. He moved the convertible just within sight of the place under the shade of an oak tree on Main Street. It was nice out. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026"Come on, Dino! Just because she's from some island somewhere doesn't mean --" Dino cut him off. "I hear things, see things. Moonlit nights. Better for you, stay away from that, my friend!" Suddenly, the proprietor's demeanor changed and he let out a belly laugh. "On to better topic, like-a food!" 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026"You know, the black, how you say?" "Well, I don't say, Dino, and I'm a little disappointed that you do!" Brock tightened his abs, anticipating having to give the big Italian a box on the ears. "No, Mr. Brock! Mi scusi. I mean the magic. Dark magic. Black magic. Voodoo!" Brock was skeptical. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026"Say, Dino?" Brock asked. The proprietor grunted, barely looking up from his work. "What do you know about this lady over at the realty office around the corner?" "Oh, Mr. Brock. I stay away. I don't mess around with the dark stuff." Brock was shaken by Dino's words. "What are you trying to say?" 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Brock Brent, P.I., used his acute detective skills to pick out a selection of cured meats for his next car sandwich. He was going for something spicy this time. As Dino prepared his on-the-go order, which included a Clark Special, Brock started to gather information about the mysterious woman. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026"Hello, Dino, whaddya know?" The mustachioed marvel treated Brock to an unsolicited, but not altogether uncomfortable, embrace. "Time for a new car sandwich? How she work out with-a the, how you say, condiments?" "The mustard packets worked a real treat, Dino," the P.I. replied, eyeing the meats. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Dino's Deli was a stone's throw from the Island Realty office, so Brock legged it. The bell tinkled as he entered, and the P.I. was greeted warmly by Dino De'Ricci, proprietor. "Ayy, Mister Brock! Beautiful day! So good to see you, my friend!" The large man came out from behind the deli counter. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026"Is Callie short for something?" "Yes, Mr. Brock," she replied with a mischievous look in her eyes, closing the door on the dumbfounded dick. Brock came to his senses once the door had closed and looked around, slightly bewildered. "Have to get into that office," he muttered. "But first, lunch." 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Callie De Verteuil pushed the door outward, gesturing for Brock to exit the building. "Good day to you, Mr. Brock. Call for an appointment." "I will," he stammered, thankful to the buzzer for saving him from almost certain embarrassment. "Say, I was wondering one thing." "What is it?" she asked. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Brock Brent, P.I., completely entranced by this exotic woman, leaned slightly forward. It was like an out-of-body experience. He watched himself making the mistake of trying to become involved with the woman whom he suspected was at the center of this whole scandal. A loud buzz broke the spell. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Callie De Verteuil gently grabbed Brock's upper arm and guided him toward the door. "Say, Miss Callie," he began. "Yes, Mr. Brock?" "I'll be seeing you again soon." "I'm certain of it, Mr. Brock" They stood facing one another by the front entrance. Again, Brock felt compelled to make a move. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Was having a good time chatting with #Gemini about #BrockBrent - until I realized it was just hallucinating the whole thing. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Brock Brent had officially lost his cool. "Mr. Brock," she interrupted, "while I would love to continue this conversation, I do have an appointment to attend." She was still gazing at him, surprisingly not entirely put off by his awkward flirting. "Maybe you can return when we will have more time." 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"Sorry, Ms. Verteuil," he stammered. "Low blood sugar." He flipped through the binder absent-mindedly. "Say, how's about something above a mechanic's shop?" "Mr. Brock," she said coquettishly, "I believe you are pulling my arm." "It's 'pulling my leg,' Doll, and with legs like those I'd be..." 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026With these prices, the P.I. knew he could never satisfy her financially. But there were other ways. Brock knew he had to play it cool. He was here to pump her for information, an so he pushed thoughts of other kinds of pumping out of his head. "Mr. Brock, you are breathing heavily. Are you unwell?" 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"I mean, I can only take one bath at a time," the P.I. quipped. Ms. De Verteuil leaned closer, her shoulder fully pressed against his. He noticed the gentle curve of her neck; a faint herbal scent. He felt an immediate desire to take her in his arms and kiss her. He was suddenly overwhelmed by her. 020
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"Too many stairs to nowhere in a place like that. What else you got? Maybe something a bit more..." he trailed off. "Modest?" she laughed. "Why, certainly!" She flipped through the book again. Here is a lovely two-bedroom. I'm afraid it only has one bath." The price was slightly less atrocious. 010
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Brock Brent, P.I., balked at the price tag. His deductive skills had not kept him abreast of the changes in the market. "It's a lovely mid-century modern home. Three bedrooms,v two baths, attached garage. Do you own a ln automobile, Mr. Brock?" Brock nodded, thinking he would be living in it soon. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"Oh, Mr. Brock! Surely you are a funny man! Mr. Percy did not tell me about your sense of humor!" Her deep dark eyes stared into his as she opened a binder on the reception desk. She made a show of coming around to stand close to him as she flipped through the pages. "How about something like this?" 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"So tell Miss Callie," she purred, "What can I interest you in today for your real estate needs?" Brock could think of a few needs he was having at that moment, but he decided to keep it business. "Something with a bed. Maybe a sofa?" he replied uncertainly. "Anything above a restaurant?" 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Also not sure if I want her braids hanging down or done up, maybe with some jewels or colorful wraps. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026I don't want to jumble the order, so something about her skin being as black as the sedan parked out front. 100
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026"I find myself in need of some new digs," the detective continued. "Percy Greene sent me." "Ah, you must be Mr. Brent," she exclaimed happily. "It's just Brock." "Ah, Mr. Brock. Please, you may just call me Callie. I feel we will become de good friends, no?" "Sure," the beguiled P.I. agreed. 110
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026He assumed this was the proprietor. She had an aura of authority about her. "Ms. Callie De Verteuil?" the P.I. asked. "De Verteuil," she corrected him. "And to whom do I owe de pleasure?" she asked. Her accent was thick but lilting, almost mesmerizing. "De Verteuil," he attempted again. "Sorry." 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026As Brock shifted his focus to the figure before him, he was met by a vision of the most stunning woman he had ever seen. She was a tall, dark drink of water. Her skin was a deep black. Her hair was braided. She wore garb that befit the island theme - a flowing short dress in many bright colors. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026It was a little far to make out, but Brock could tell they were printouts of real estate listings. He wanted to get a closer look, but his idea was thwarted by the figure who had opened the door in the first place. She moved her body into Brock's line of sight and shut the door securely behind her. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026There was the standard office fare. A cheap desk and chairs, likely from some office supply catalog. A painting of the Island Realty logo hung on the wall. There was a large corkboard on a rolling stand that was of particular interest to the P.I. he noticed dozens of pictures of houses tacked to it. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026There was a large reception desk across from the entrance with no attendant present. Brock sauntered over, expecting a bell or some other device to summon the employees. As he approached, a door behind the desk opened, revealing a back room or office of some sort. Brock peered inside, taking note. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026The sharp mind of the detective noted that it was strange to have that sort of locking mechanism on the door to a realty office. "Maybe it came with the building," he thought. He surveyed the place. There was a surfeit of island themed decor. Tiki men, bamboo fencing panels along the walls. 'Tacky.' 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026One the left door, he noticed a sign which said, "Please Use Other Door." On the right door, there was a sign which said "Pull," and so he pulled. The door gave resistance. Then, Brock's ears were greeted with a harsh buzzing sound and a loud click. The door opened easily. He pulled and entered. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026Brock admired the recent wax job on the vehicle, noticing the dark-tinted windows. At first, he thought it may have been a city government car and worried that Percy Greene might be there to step on his investigation, but then he saw the civilian plates. He walked toward the glass double doors. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 05/04/2026As Brock Brent, P.I., approached the realty office, his ears were met with tinny steel drum music. A couple of outdoor speakers mounted to the front of the building tried to convey the island vibes the owners were going for. He crossed the parking lot which was empty save for a menacing black sedan. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 24/11/2025This reminds me of my detective Brock Brent talking to Candace Fitt, except the sizes should be reversed. 000
BubbaJimbo 🕵️ @bubbajimbo.bsky.social · 20/11/2025So happy to finally see the origin for that panel! 030
