NEW TWC VOTING INCENTIVE! MARCH MADNESS!!!
This month (starting March 1st), a vote for Puck on TWC gets you a glimpse at some fantastic Puck art by fantastic artists that are not me! This week we’ve got a rather unique piece dreamed up by one of the guys from Exiern and drawn by Sean, the artist from Spying With Lana.
VOTE TO PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME, PARTY ALL THE TIME! (Just like Eddie Murphy!)
As for the comic…
I don’t really know how much force would be required to snap a smart phone in two like a Triscuit, but I’m pretty sure its more pounds per square inch than any human fingers can provide. No matter. Puck doesn’t really abide by the laws of physics.
i bet 50 internets that colin soils himself or at least starts sucking his thumb in panic .. prolly both
I see your 50 internets and raise you 20 AOLs.
you got those values crossed.
Aol ain’t worth anything.
Oh come on! You want some free CDs?
STRANGER DANGER!!! STRANGER DANGER!!!
*runs away*
aols good for chucking at people or as coasters, art supplies… stencils and averting medusas gaze thats about it so their worth about 5 lols
See? Useful for something.
it just ocured to me but mmm something of colins is prolly gunna snap like that too
Would have made more visual sense if Puck had crushed phone more like a beer can, but this was more visually impressive.
I doubt my ability to properly visualize the crushing of a phone like a beer can.
She was able to fold that thing in half between thumb and fingertips? I think a beer can would have been reduced to a small aluminum nugget if she’s got that kind of grip. Yipes, Colin’s in for it if something doesn’t happen to create a diversion.
Colin’s been in it for something for YEARS, man. He lives in a constant state of peril. He’s like an extreme sports guy that way.
It just looks weird based on Puck’s hand position. She wasn’t holding the phone with her fingers on the top and her thumb on the bottom; she was holding with her fingers and thumb on the side. Hence my thought that she’d crush inward, like a beer can.
True. She had to consciously re-position the phone between panel two and panel three. But so many magical things can happen between panels, can’t they? That’s the wonder of comics.
Reset the Clock!
(We just wish we could cancel the apocalypse.)
Puck might just have that monster finger strength like Tyler from Total Drama Island
I’m thinking of another Tyler going by what the voting incentive looks like it might be.
I had to look up that ref. The idea of a cartoon show reality show is equal parts fascinating and repulsive to me.
They also made ‘Drawn Together’ several years back.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawn_Together
“Total Drama” is actually a lot of fun, if you enjoy spoofs of all the major reality shows. It does a good job pointing out the most insane and inane parts of Survivor, The Amazing Race, Fear Factor, any one of the singing competitions, and probably a few others. Such as how they always use camera angles, editing, and pauses to completely drag out the tension of tribal councils/”campfire ceremonies” when revealing who was voted out. The show is altogether an odd mix of both stupid humor and intelligent satire.
If you’ve ever watched any Survivor and have enough of a sense of humor to laugh at a bit of parody (or if you have friends/family members who watch Survivor, and you think it’s ridiculous), you should at least try the first season.
Science is about to find out which burns hotter.
Cell phone battery recently exposed,
or the ire of one Robin Goodfellow, a.k.a Puck.
I don’t know which one burns hotter, but I know which one punches harder.
Puck’s loose lock of hair looks like a dancing flame atwixt the panel frames.
You’re a poet and you obviously know it.
Well time to move to the furthest part of the multiverse from here.
“The man in black fled across the desert and Colin followed (also fleeing).”
That’s not a bad strategy, really: just run away. Puck is deadly but she’s also lazy. I doubt she’d give chase.
Colin needs one of those T-shirts that say:
Bomb Technician. If you see me running, try to keep up!

I dunno… I feel like Daphne’s not likely to have been talking too fast… she seems like the kind of girl who would announce the situation smooth and snarky like, “hey girl, guess what your husband’s up to… no guess again.” 😛 And then by the time Colin’s screw up had been explained, she could downplay (or possibly even ignore) the reason she’s in there.
I agree. But this seemed a bit more exciting.
Could Puck snap a phone in two? Jury’s still out about the difference between fairy and humans, or about any of the non human humanoids in this comic.
I personally think that Puck gets stronger the angrier she is, through either biology or magic… Much like a fairy in another comic I read.
At least she doesn’t turn green and bulk up like a tank…
No, not in this comic.
I don’t know which I like better – the laughing shark unintentionally accenting Puck’s growing rage, or the moment when the phone signals that Puck has finally snapped.
She really does put the “p” in “pSnap”!
—
P.S. forget her daddy – Phoebe is a saint!
I think that Phoebe has probably been through numerous experiences like this before, so she’s grown totally accustomed Puck’s random acts of destruction.
Did her fang’s elongate or is that just me… :< i'm frightened and i'm grinning like a maniac….
Well, don’t your fangs elongate when you’re angry? I know mine do.
Not even Otter Box could withstand the wrath of a woman scorned.
Honestly, if this were a TV show and I had the time, a far funnier way to swing this would be to have her struggle for five minutes to break a phone equipped with Otter Box. That’s the sort of humor that’s hard to carry in four panels, though.
And then she gets sick of it, pulls the otter box off, and then breaks the phone.
Exactly.
Reminds me of that scene from a Christmas Story when Ralphie blames Schwartz for his swearing 😛 What?! WHAT?! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
I think I was channeling that.
“…but I’m pretty sure its more pounds per square inch than any human fingers can provide.”
To be honest, Puck isn’t human; she’s an Ancient Fairy of Lore, after all. I’m pretty sure that the laws of physics doesn’t apply to her in those regards. I’ll admit, Phoebe took the broken phone a bit… Well, very calmly. Then again, when your father is Satan (and you’re rich as hell – no pun intended) I doubt you’re bothered by most things.
What pun? She’s literally “rich as hell”.
I think Phoebe’s seen some sh#$, man. Just living with Puck has probably exposed her to enough craziness that she takes pretty much everything in stride.
Oh my, this going to be good!
This probably means I have some rather deep-seated issues, but I really dig bossy angry chicks. At least from a safe distance, so long as I am not the target of their anger.
Safe distance is the critical part of the equation, I find.
It’s a shame they don’t make those phones more durable.
They used to. Then they got all smart and fragile and stuff. Remember the fun of slamming an old rotary receiver down? Good times.
Even the old Nokia analog cell phones of the late 90’s/early 2000’s were bricks; I know, I put mine through quite a bit of abuse. At one point, the little 1″ antenna snapped off, and the thing still worked perfectly.
Antennae were never really required, were they? They could always be subbed by a clothes hangar, too.
I’m guessing that Phoebe’s phone was made by that “fruit company” and they sacrificed structural integrity in order to make it look “sleeker”. If a normal person can bend one, a pi$$ed-off redhead should have NO problems snapping one… lol
I hate sleek when it comes to electronics. I like my devices big, bulky and covered in wood grain.
And heavy enough to injure a small child? Because I remember knocking a stereo off a table as a kid, and the only thing that gave was my brother’s foot.
I just started wondering what the rent-a-cop will think when Pippi Longstocking (aka Puck) shows up to claim her daughter, foster daughter, and hubby – with a black eye and a sexy demon in tow. Then again as a guard at an amusement park, that’s probably pretty low on the relative weirdness scale of things he’s seen.
That guard’s seen some stuff, man. I’ve heard stories from people that have worked in amusement parks. Little surprises them.
Phoebe is thinking, “Great, now I’ll be able to hit Daddy up for the latest upgraded iPhone.”
I’m thinking Daff is going to be too disabled to talk for a while. *Glee*
Your glee is rather cruel, but I’m not going to judge.
So is Daff :p
Besides, you gave Puck a black eye. Is it too much to hope for a fat lip for Daff?
Only one serious injury per story arc, I’m afraid.
Psh, you regard a black eye a serious injury? In Texas, we regard a shiner as less serious than a hickey. In fact in some cases, much less so.
I agree with Susan.
I’ve seen hickies that extended from Ear to…
well, below the shoulder (and she usually can’t tell daddy how she got it)
How come no-one’s brought this up yet?
No-one studies the classics anymore.
No one has a clue…
Ah, Madeline Kahn. Is it just me, or do we just not have the same caliber of comedic actors/actresses any more?
I miss the dramatic exits flip phones used to bring to calls… Also! The Sprite Club art looks sick!
The Sprite Club art looks good because I didn’t do it. That’s always the key to art success for me.
Now we’ve talked about this at great length I don’t know how many times. You, me – my office – now!
Left Shark obviously ran for his life.
He’s got good survival instincts. Hundreds of millions of years of evolution and all that.
I’m looking forward to seeing what happens when Puck goes down there to bail them out.
I think they’ll be wanting to stay on the other side of those bars for some time yet.
Though after what we’ve just seen, I’m not entirely convinced they will help to be honest.
As I doubt Puck would intentionally cripple Daphne for life, that does not sound like the worst punishment ever. 😉
The key word there is ‘intentionally’. She’s very strong as that phone will attest to.
Meanwhile, in Hell, hatches are being battened, fallout shelters sheltered into, lifeboats being manned (demonned? de-manned?), escape pods ejecting, and absolutely NOBODY from Satan on down is saying “why are we panicking? what’s it got to do with us?” As for Heaven, the Pearly Gates are locked, St. Peter is welding the hinges together, Gabriel is polishing his trumpet just in case, and God is explaining to the Archangel Michael that actually yes, Mikey, you ARE expected to be on THAT side of the Gates with your flaming sword drawn, purely as a precautionary measure you understand . . .
You seem overly optimistic.
Personally, I am still rooting for the fat lip 🙁
There’s a subtle humor always going on in most of your backgrounds that deserve attention…
In this instance the shark mascot has me strangely cracking up and I don’t know why. 🙂
I drew multiple pictures of that shark guy four months ago and was just looking for a place to put him.
It took me all week to realize: this *was* the last time Phoebe would *ever* let Puck use *that* phone—and the last time anybody would.
Well, that is technically correct.
Well Alt Text, that’s very very true… but what really clinches the deal here, is that flip phones (called “clamshell phones” also) usually don’t fold closed in a way that leaves the screen visible (and scratch-able).
True. Very true.
I saw Jabberjaw in the background!
Jabber Jaws the “Friendly” Shark ?
To be perfectly fair, Phoebe, that was the last time ANYONE will be ABLE to use that phone. This was like threatening someone not to let them drive your car anymore as the crane is trying to unwrap it from the telephone pole.
Fair enough. But hey, at least it’s an accurate observation.
