I felt more information was needed about the precise nature of the baby’s conception, so here it is. And as many people already guessed, Puck is far from blameless.
Fun fact: if sperm were better judges of character, many of the world’s problems would be solved!
Tell me, oh wise alt-text, why a lack of reality TV be a bad thing?
I think I should change that to “On the plus side…”
i just love colin’s face in the fourth panel.
I’ve made that face a number of times in my life. I know it well.
Here’s my beef with the whole pregnant Puck thing. At some point I remember her admitting to have had boyfriend’s in the past. Nostradamus was one specifically named. Abstinence must have been her birth control method of choice for the better part of her life. She IS 630+ years old right? How did she manage to keep a boyfriend around without putting out? And if she DID put out, how did she avoid pregnancy? Now I’m going to have to go burn another hour or so of my life getting sidetracked on TV tropes before I can overcome the Bacon Induced Amnesia, and remember what I doing in the first place.
THIS IS NOT CANON: (but it fits)
(from //www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-346)
Puck had Magic Once, but The Three Witches of Shakespeare’s MacBeth took it away as part of The Curse.
Along with her ability to recall much of anything before her present life.
Although, as a Fairy, Puck is technically Immortal, part of The Curse is she now leads “Recurrent Lives”.
Puck Number 1 //www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-1 states she is 621, but has only lived 8 years.
It seems she “Recurs” each life at Puberty, and lives each life as a Mortal, recalling only the fact she is a Fairy, her actual Age, and her Name.
She’s likely had a dozen husbands, and dozens of children, but knows nothing about them. It’s a Cruel Curse, indeed.
What I find more interesting is to speculate what Puck DID to anger the Witches. With her attitude, so many choices !
Unless the whole “631 years old” thing is not true. And I think the Nostradamus thing was fabricated for the sake of a joke.
Someday, someone in the strip is going to do some real Magic, and everyone will be like “Damn, I never saw that coming !!
Mebe that “someone” will be Susan.
Be careful talking about “The Boys,” Colin. One of your gonads may hear, take offense, a get even with some fancy metaplasia.
Colin talks about his boys a lot in this comic. Which made it all the more tragic when he lost one.
