According to the rules of fashion, redheads are apparently never supposed to wear pink. Puck is the type of girl who breaks those rules.
By the way, for those familiar with the old university strips, this does signal the return of the hotdog guy – in a slightly different format.
No offense to the Jesus fans out there, of course. (Honestly, I think the Jesus fans all got scared off this comic long ago by the prominent role of Satan.)
CHECK OUT THE INCENTIVE: MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU!!!
May the Fourth has passed, but that doesn’t mean you should miss your chance to see the Puck gang in … attire. It may or may not feature a metal bikini! (Okay, it DOES feature a metal bikini.)
Though this particular incentive pic isn’t available through voting on TWC anymore, you can purchase the pic from the STORE! It’s only a buck for a set of five voting incentives! That’s what I call a deal!
Puck’s now on Facebook, so if you’re a Facebookian and you want reminders about strip updates and incentives and such, click that ‘like’ button HERE!!!
Pwned Shop, a friend would agree to this, if you’ve been here, your life has been pwned.
Thank you, Econolypse of 2007!
You know, I have a thing for hanging out in pawn shops and purchasing DVDs and old video games that smell like cigarettes. It feels sort of like picking through the ruins after Armageddon.
Well, not all Jesus fans. Some of us can take it.
Many can. I actually heard from a number of Christian fans when this strip first ran and they all reported that none of the stuff in the strip bothered them. Which is good to know. I try to keep stuff in reasonably good taste.
I think you’re far too Canadian (or something) to do anything really offensive to Americans. Do you think the Americans who pray to baby Jesus would perceive that they are being made fun of? She prayed, the prayer was answered; it’s beautiful.
There are many, many people out there who would be offended by my comic. They’re also the sorts that are offended by cereal mascots. They’re unreasonable, and they’re out there, but they’re probably not big into webcomics. So I’m safe.
Re: “Honestly, I think the Jesus fans all got scared off this comic long ago by the prominent role of Satan.”
No, we didn’t. This strip is in no way offensive to Christians.
Well, I’d say that this comic is in no way offensive to normal, well adjusted Christians like yourself. But there are those unreasonable Christians who are offended by practically everything, and I’m pretty sure they got scared off long ago. Mind you, they’re not usually the type to read webcomics. They’re more the ‘Family Circus’ folks.
And I don’t by any means want to suggest that the unreasonable ‘offended by practically everything’ people are exclusively Christian. No, we know that they come from all walks and faiths and places. Thankfully, none of them seem to read this comic.
Irreverence is divine… which explains my statement. And yes, I’m a Christian. Keep up the good work. 🙂
I try for irreverent. It also helps that I try for stupid most of the time, and it’s hard to get offended by something that’s really stupid.
Redheads and pink can go together quite fine. Note that Puck has a yellow sweater next to her red hair. Being a responsible author, you would not let the red and pink be next to each other possibly causing a matter-antimatter reaction and destroying the planet. Well, it is over two years later, and it has not happened.
There you go. The readers who know what they’re talking about (female readers) have told me it’s not the red hair but the pink complexion of most redheads. If you don’t have an overly pink complexion (and Puck doesn’t), then it’s apparently not a problem. Though I still like the antimatter concept.
I really hope that you got tired of the whole auras thing fairly quickly. I keep expecting Puck’s hair to go all spikey then watch her power-up for a whole episode. Umm, strip, I meant strip. I most certainly am NOT referencing a certain show full of people with spikey hair, green eyes, and yellow auras.
I don’t. The auras thing becomes a defining element of the comic’s visual look. Sorry.
