Picking on Colin is a little like kicking a one-legged puppy: it’s so easy and mean and one-sided. And yet it’s still funny. Why?
In other news, dark forces have forced me to join the world of Twitter. If you are also a Twitt, and you wanna follow some tweets or something like that, you can find me in TWITTERLAND HERE. I’m not going to be tweeting constantly, because the site annoys me, but I’ll certainly post about strip updates and news and the like. (‘Tweet’, in my personal opinion, is the stupidest verb I’ve ever encountered.)

CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR PUCK!!!
Yeah, formula and breast feeding.
First by the way.
You get the first commenter cookie! Careful. It has nuts in it.
As long as they aren’t made with any mountain oysters or any such similar ingredients, I got no problem whatso ever.
Any bacon?
I’ll have to take a look in the dumpster out back.
Oy, no Golden Corrals up north?
First? Guess it’s time for the blue shell.
Yer just upset because it’s my second first.
No, I’m only upset that I didn’t think of using the blue shell before.
Seriously though; what have I done to cause you to be antagonistic toward me? Because I’d like to avoid it in the future, and apologize for whatever I did in the first place, so we can stop this ridiculous sparring match we keep having.
You’re right. There is no need for this, and honestly, I don’t really recall what it was. I could say something off hand, like, “Just joshing ya” but I hated that when it was done to me.
That’s good then. We’re done with the stupid verbal sparring!
I’m still going to make the “blue shell joke” though. It’s a funny Mario Kart reference that I can’t believe I never thought of before.
I’m going to steal that blue shell joke for whenever I see it.
Hitokiri probably won’t see this, but I’m putting it out there for public record.
Well, so much for that source of entertainment.
I’ve noticed you haven’t tweeted in 6 days… Sorry to tell you but your not tweeting right.
Where are the pictures of your lunch? Tell me you are tired and go to bed? or Just tweet how much you hate twitter.
Just messing with you Gecko, I’ll try and send some twitter love your way.
Well, up until now, I only had two friends following me, so I didn’t see the need. I personally find the whole ‘post about your lunch’ thing to be a little overwhelming from a follower’s perspective. I mean, people post so much! So often! Freaky! I’m … probably not going to do that. Unless I feel like complaining. Then I’ll get out my pithy complaint power and let loose.
Twitter get’s overwhelming, so I often use software to make it a little easier. Tweet deck is the one I use the most. I can schedule posts & links that I like.
Thanks for the tip.
The whole post your lunch thing is the industrial military complex way of turning us all into Smith from 1984
I laughed so hard at Puck’s reaction, I ended up gasping.
WONDERFUL!!!
I’m glad the payload actually dropped in this one.
uh oh. Just had a thought (beginner’s luck, I know)
If nutrition had nothing to do with Colin’s brainpower, then it was genetics and that means…
poor Miranda.
The alt-text kinda makes mention of that. Really, the kid’s doomed either way.
Stupidity could also be caused by severe head injuries.
I was going to put in a line about baby Colin getting dropped on his head, but I ran out of room.
The baby will typically lose a little weight over the first few weeks after losing the direct connection to Mom’s blood supply. Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal.
It is. But they tend to freak out about it at the hospital if the weight loss is too much. They actually wouldn’t let my wife leave because of it.
“If you hate your baby give him formula.” Puck #177. You did say it would come up again.
I did. And I always deliver. (Not sure I’m delivering the pizza that people ordered, but I DO deliver.)
Yeah, about that, mine had the pineapples and grenades with bacon and sauce on the side. You gave me the one with anchovies and cheese on the box.
Be happy with what you get, man.
Um, no. No, I don’t think picking on Colin as you described is funny at all. That said I still like your strip.
Well, I’m glad you’re still hanging in there.
It’s acceptable to insult fictional characters. However, I don’t really find it overly humorous either.
It’s safe to say Puck didn’t pick Colin for his brains.
You know, not only has he contributed half of Miranda’s genes. I seem to also remember him working as a teacher.
In other words the future of the world… The leaders of tomorrow…
…Are being molded and influenced by Colin.
😀
Dang straight! He’s just ruining a whole generation in one fell swoop!
I wonder what Miranda’s name would have been if she had been a boy.
Probably Stu.
Why not one of the guys from the Fantastics?
Ahh, new parent worries…I remember them well…this too will pass.
I remember the nurse coming in to draw blood from my son’s scrawny foot. Although she knew her job better than I did, I recall snarling at her for squeezing his fragile foot too hard. My wife won’t let me forget that one. 😀
Yeah, the panic is crazy, and it does pass. Second kid caused far fewer panic attacks for us. We’d been there. It wasn’t as new or terrifying.
Aww the baby weight blues.. those were the days. The abject terror of picking up the proverbial Kleenex box that is a baby and fearing the the light squeeze would snuff it out. Hospitals are touchy about the weight thing tho. My nephew was a robust 10 pounds at birth which quickly plummeted to 7. The rapid decent of shit bricks had by parents and doctors could have created a black hole! That kids leveled off when they switched to formula, so as an extraordinary(and I am assuming singular) instant of mental clarity Colin is correct!
Despite the ribbing on Colin’s intelligence, he’s not that dumb. He’s more of moron than anything else, and you can be an intelligent moron. Hospital had us worried to death with kid one and weight. On kid two, we knew the score and told them to chill out.
In the first panel it looks like Colin has dapples(sorry my tablet keeps autocorecting her name no matter what I do) ear in h’s mouth.
Probably tastes like barbecue sauce. And dude, Dapples? That’s awesome. Your tablet is a comic genius.
Wow, Daphne is really stepping up to the plate for her adopted mommy and baby sister. ^^ It’s cute.
She really does have a good heart. It’s jaded and calloused and a little blackened, but it’s still good.
I’d say she had a well-disguised heart of gold, except she’d dig THAT out of her own chest for the gold.
Gecko you kick puppies!! One legged puppies!!! Your my hero… no just kidding..but comeone.. that WAS a little dark.. Why not a 1 legged camel!
Kicking camels is just cruel. I mean, they’re already camels. Nature has shown them enough cruelty by making them what they are.
Why you no like camels?!
“I once fought 1d4 dire camels in a swamp. No joke.”
You’re hard.
I must admit the very thought of nursing sends chills down my spine. Weird, I know. Especially since I have tasted people’s blood before after they’ve been injured. This was before I understood AIDS, hepatitis and other bloodborn diseases.
There are a number of people who get creeped out by it. It’s just part of life, though.
How about having Miranda learn self-defense when she’s older.
Okay.
I would go to sleep as a baby during nursings. I NEEDED bottle feeding because I was loosing weight.
My brother bit.
It’s a good thing we weren’t collicy, we may not have survived.
Some babies need that bottle or they die. The anti-bottle people will say, “But that’s not how it was is in the olden days!” And I reply, “Yeah, in the olden days? When most babies died?”
True dat.
