VOTE FOR PUCK ON TWC AND GET INSPIRED!
Happy New Year! If you want to start 2016 right, you’ll want to see Puck’s motivational poster. (Yes, it’s inspired by Rosie the Riveter, but the message has been considerably improved. Words to live by!)
VOTE TO FEEL THE OVERWHELMING POWER OF DEMOCRACY RUN THROUGH YOUR VEINS!
As for this comic…
For those who have cast doubt on this or openly wondered, the dude inside the Papa Shnorf costume is actually a dude. Colin’s aware of this because of the manly voice, but I couldn’t really make the speech bubbles look manly in any effective way, so here I am clarifying things. What type of dude is inside the costume, though, is the real mystery.
If the girls are any clue, he’s an outhoing nerd who takes care of his body and his mind. Also, he’s breaking with social behavior and listening to his grand parents to wait until two decades after marriage.
You may be onto something.
Hope the man inside can live up to the uniform he wears…
I don’t think that’s possible.
I’d date him. By the time he got his costume off I’d have locked the door, had my teeth brushed and way into my nighttime book. “Are you still out there?”
I’m actually unsure how long it takes to get into or out of a mascot costume. It’s one of those pieces of information I’m blissfully unaware of.
if i ever wore one i would want a liquid cooling system, forget fans, those wouldn’t cut it
I’ve seen people around here wear one of those costumes in the dead of winter, and that’s about the only time you can be comfortable in one.
Dad bod.
…Dad bod.
I don’t care how often I read that comment. It’s gonna make me laugh.
Dad bod.
At least he’s willing to help Colin out (for better or for worse).
Hee hee.
Dad bod, dad bod, whatchu gonna do when dad bod comes for yoy?
Thanks a lot, Pat, now I can’t get that out of my head… Complete with images of Schmorfs being hauled away in cuffs by a Schmorf Cop…
Bad Shnorfs, bad Shnorfs…
Ha ha ha ha. I aim to confuzzle. Now if only that would work in person.
It always comes for all guys in the end. Even if you choose not to become a dad, you will have dad bod.
‘Dad bod’ has become a legitimate thing now. Which is terrifying, but I’m powerless to stop it. So I might as well feed the beast.
Feed, water, exercise….
It isn’t a good thing.
LOL! “Dad Bod” with Shnorf should be on your next merchandise tee for sale soon.
I would avoid wearing that shirt, personally speaking, because it’s too accurate a descriptor.
“Nine point three?”
Out of 10. I think.
Since E.G. complains if nobody mentions them; the ladies in the background are pretty hot, Too (especially the one in the last panel).
See, E.G.? Your readers O notice them (even when they’ not mentioned)
The one with a mom haircut taking a selfie with her doofy boyfriend? She’s supposed to be DOOFY, not HOT! Now I’m all complainy again!
MILF is a word…
Just caught up on this webcomic, found it yesterday morning, loving every one so far, keep up the good work!! as a person who is Canadian and lives close to Hamilton its nice to see some familiar cultural references!!
Well, I’m always glad when someone who gets the cultural refs actually finds the comic. Because we’re in the minority!
We can’t all be from Canada, chief.
The country would probably explode or go downhill… that, or we’d die in the pristine wilderness. :-/
There’s room for everyone up here! Well, the sane ones. Sane Americans are welcome. (I know that eliminates about two thirds of the population, but hey, them’s the breaks.)
to misquote Harley Quinn, aren’t we all a little crazy?
Hey, I’m an insane american! Of the fun variety, the counting the birds tweeting that don’t exist. It’s the unreasonable ones you have to watch out for?
Insane but unarmed and friendly Americans are welcome.
And Gecko has just killed the entire Canadian Universal health care systems by opening it up to Americans who are crazy enough to qualify for mental and physical disability benefits by chopping off both their arms… (You did say UNARMED !!!)
Nice work, Gecko…
Wait, I didn’t think this through!
I’m not giving up my arms. How in the hell would I eat poutine burritos?
I still can’t believe someone made the ‘no arms’ joke. That joke’s so old it’s in Hamlet. And it was a groaner even back then.
Actually, Gecko, both Pat I did refer to that pun but modernized it to more current times. The deliberate removal of human arms in my case to qualify for disability benefits and the non-removal of human arms so that pat can eat his poutine burritos.
But yes, I see where you are coming from, I too am annoyed that Immigration will allow Prince Hal, Falstaff, Nym and Bardolph to enter the country but not ancient Pistol, as he might go off at half-cocked….
Gecko, these insane and friendly Americans you wish to welcome after being unarmed must be of very small mental calibre if they bore their arms instead of severing them…
Who said I’m an American…? 😉
^_^ It’s nice to see that Papa Shnorf is happy in life as well as being good in stressful situations.
He doesn’t rule his Shnorf populace for nothing, man.
I guess Grandpa Schnorf had to have a pretty active social life – all those little schnorfs had to come from somewhere!
Short pants
Purple hat
It don’t matter cuz my wallet’s fat
Greek beard
Green skin
When I step out I’m gonna do you in
They come a-runnin’ just as fast as they can
Every girl crazy ’bout a Schnorf-dressed man!
You deserve a medal for that.
Add a bar to that medal because it actually seems to be in time /tune to “Master of the House” from Les Miserables.
So true.
Yeah, where did the population come from, anyway? Now we know.
I don’t have a reference or anything to back it up so I can’t verify the accuracy of this, but I do recall being told once that at Disney theme parks all of the “mascot” type characters were women in the suits, regardless of the character’s gender. The reason given me at the time was that in general, the women were better able to handle the constant close contact with and interaction with massive hordes of small children. Apparently, most guys they tried in those costumes would freak out or get sick of it after a while.
Again, I don’t know how accurate that is, and I don’t know if any parks other than Disney use the same standard for their costumed characters, but there you go.
You mean they’re not REAL !!!
WAHHHHHHHH !
(at least I still got Santa)
I believe it. Though Papa Shnorf would be the exception, I think.
