NEW VOTING INCENTIVE: SEXY NUDES!!!
There’s a new voting incentive up on TWC! Yes, SEXY NUDES! Yes, starring PUCK and PHOEBE! What the people ask for!
Just a friendly reminder that if you want the PUCK+ experience, including access to all the past voting incentives, some sneak peaks, and other extra junk, you can become a patron of Puck for only a dollar a month!
As for this comic…
This really does happen, by the way. Nothing gives you an upper body workout like a baby. Not that it really worked for me, of course. My arms remained dumpy and flabby and Pilsbury Doughboy-ish, but my wife developed very impressive biceps from the constant lugging.
I personally believe that Colin spends a lot of time under the sink.
Puck is actually hot when she’s buff.
Well, if by ‘buff’ you mean ‘still a skinny white girl with slightly larger biceps’, then sure. I’ll concur.
That’s a pretty pucked up thing to say, man.
I’ll concur with that too.
The new vote incentive makes your comment triply appropriate given that buff can also mean naked, or a beige/tan color.
Also, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiYPoHVQzDs
Well, same thing with ‘nude’, right? It is a color. Or is maybe a color, or maybe a fashion concept, or maybe something that starts arguments on the internet, so I’m not going to go there.
Before I forget,
“Daddy’s going to kill Ralphie. “
You know where it’s coming from.
I know where it’s coming from. I was wondering if anyone else knew where it was coming from.
Who’s Lou Ferrigno?
Oh, My, Gosh. He’s the guy from “King of Queens”
That and “The Incredible Hulk.”
The Incredible Hulk series ended nearly a decade before I was born, yet even I know Lou Ferrigno from that better than anything else.
Dude, that very question is why they invented Google.
What are you gonna do when Puckamania and the 24″ pythons go wild on you!?!
I personally doubt she’d pass the 12″ python point, but they’ve still got a mean stranglehold in them.
I’d let her strangle me.
What about the 24cm point?
I’m not sure how big a cm is, but I thing I remember Lou Ferrigno had 72cm biceps at his peak.
Does that sound plausible?
There are 2.5 cm in every inch, so 24cm pythons for Puck are totally achievable.
A bit more like garden snakes, but sure. 😛
Don’t worry Colin! With all those video-games and rapid button-pushes for hours, I bet your forearms at least are ALMOST as muscular as your wife’s.
Video games build nothing. Unless you’re playing Minecraft. Then you can build whatever you want.
Hmm… typing actually does work the forearms though. That’s where the muscles that move your fingers actually are.
I concede a controller might not provide as balanced a workout for all fingers.
Any reference to Lou Ferrigno should be accompanied by the theme from “The Incredible Hulk,” ie “The Lonely Man.”

It’s a great melancholy song. And for a show that really was a pretty good show, all said and told. I mean, it grounded the concept of the Hulk in about as real a scenario as one could manage in TV at the time.
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.
PUCK SMASH!
(Which vintage genre show gets mentioned next week? I vote for Wonder Woman.)
LOL. The MadTv version; Bruce Banner, played by the large Will Sasso, gets mad and turns into the puny, weak ‘Pocket Hulk’, played by [I forget who].

I think that’s Nicole Sullivan, but I can’t quite tell.
Did Puck get a hair cut – cute and practical and it shows the passage of time?
No hair cut. It’s wound up in a braided bun, which actually takes a fair amount of hair to achieve.
Tell me about it; my wife has hair halfway down her back, and she can only do a partial braided bun.
serious points on drawing the kiddo. That is the perfect size and proportions for an 8 month old.
Actually I was thinking Miranda was a little on the small side, but whatever. This is what I get for never using any reference pics: eternal doubt as to whether I’m accurate.
I knew who Lou Ferrigno is, but I had to Google “kettle bell”. Also, I’m not sure I get the alt-text (does it mean that Lou Ferrigno would be a terrible choice to play Reverse-Flash?).
Also, typo alert: “charing” admission
I believe that the alt text refers to Colin. Who would in fact be the second worst Reverse Flash casting, the worst would be me. For I am incredibly lazy.
::foreheadslap:: I didn’t even notice his shirt until I reread the strip!
Typo should (SHOULD) already be fixed, but I’m confused because the time signature on your message means that you looked at it long after I fixed the typo. Not sure what’s going on there.
And Colin is wearing a Reverse Flash shirt. That’s the alt-text ref.
I was actually curious if Colin had a ‘safe spot’ where he’d hide from Puck’s (possible) rampages.
Glad to know that he does. Thanks, EG!
Not gonna lie, I had never heard of Reverse Flash before now.
Well, you (mostly) learn something new every day.
You can rest assured that if there is a superhero, there is probably a palette-swapped version of that superhero who is a villain. Which makes me wonder what Reverse Puck would look like.
I shudder to think…
Um . . . a male with blue hair and money, who lives in a million-dollar penthouse condo in Toronto? Who has an adopted human/cat son, a wife who is an award-winning scientist, and an eight-month-old son? Who is the secret owner of Canada’s Funderland and is the secret genius behind Snorfs?
You have a dangerous imagination.
He would have to be an even tempered pacifist, though
True. Reverse Puck now sounds like the least interesting subject for a webcomic ever.
Personally to Colin, it seems like he is in a poisonous relationship if he is hiding in fear from his spouse at even this display. It is classic abuse and was mentioned when he was in jail at Schnorf land that the only language the family unit understand is violence. It is not a healthy arena for a child either. Colin needs to escape soon likely with his child and seek help, or on his own and seek help and custody.
But that would mean sleeping alone
Well, if this were reality, I’d agree with you. But within the comic, we need to consider that Puck’s a big talker but seldom follows through. We’ve never seen her hit Colin ever, nor do I think he’s ever actually been hit. Also, as established in the comic, Colin is a huge coward.
I do, however remember her sticking a stalk of celery up his bum, the time she hung him over a balcony by his leg, and the time that she put the fine mayor of Hamilton in the hospital, so the fear is absolutely justified.
Let us not forget the defining statement of their relationship way back in college: “I have a hammer. Did I tell you I have a hammer?”
Yeah, I know, in each example, he kinda had it coming, and lets face it, the outlandish violent responses of Puck are what makes this comic great.
Still, ya can’t help but feel for the poor guy.
Well, yeah. There’s that.
Does it make up for what Miranda did to her formerly-svelte figure?
Well, I don’t think Miranda really had any lasting effects on her figure, so I think it’s a win/win scenario here. (And honestly, first kids tend to be less, er … shape-altering than the second or third kid. I remember an interview with Lucy Lawless back when she was on that Xena show. She said that getting back into the costume after her first kid required basically no effort. Getting into it after the second kid was a couple months of serious sweat and training. Getting into it after the third kid was well nigh impossible and took the better part of a year.
My wife’s experience certainly kind of supports that. She was back in her pre-maternity clothes a few days after giving birth with the first kid. Second kid took a number of months. And third kid, well, we’re not going down that road.
*Takes two BCP to be sure that she doesn’t lose her figure* My bf likes me skinny
This comic does seem to have that effect on some people.
“READ PUCK & LOSE WEIGHT”
It’s quite similar with dogs, but with legs. Everyone around me wondered if I went on some diet because I slimmed down and developed my thigh/calf muscles – they were quite disappointed to find the secret was two hyperactive pups instead of a miracle drug or program. Let’s hope Puck never gets a dog or she’ll be unstoppable.
Hey, dogs are great tools to insert unavoidable exercise into your life. They don’t accept the usual excuses.
Miranda looks unimpressed and skeptical. Does she know that Mommy eats too many donuts for this to happen?
Hey, donuts don’t impede muscle development. They impede muscle definition.
Heh, right again. I know some chubby very strong men.
A look into Colin’s childhood would explain a lot…sometimes I want to cape for him and then there are days like this lol
Agreed. I think his past would be a sad tale of woe.
I shared your comic with big Lou on his facebook page. He liked it.
That’s cool! I … don’t know which Big Lou you refer to (the rapper? the insurance company?) but I assume, given the fact that his name contains the word ‘big’, that his opinion is a weighty one.
I think he refers to Lou Ferrigno.
Oh, THAT Big Lou! Now it totally makes sense. And if Lou Ferrigno gives me the thumbs up, I feel very proud. I might hide behind the couch like I did as a kid when watching the Incredible Hulk while feeling the pride, but it’s pride nonetheless.
If Puck turns into Lou Ferrigno, will she turn green and go on a rampage? Except for the turning green, how would we tell the difference?
Good point. Though she HAS turned green at least twice during voting incentives, for both Miss Martian and Gamora cosplay. So there is a precedence.
But that’d just be body makeup…probably…
Probably.
Fingerpaints ?
You always go there.

I am consistent. Is it foolish ? Not where TRACEE is involved !
Let’s see:
Painting Puck: Wear Body Armor
Painting Phoebe: No Charge
Painting Tracee: Priceless

The devil made me do it ?

I’ve noticed Phoebe’s dad has never used his power to change his shape in Puck.
Why mess with perfection ?
That’s never been canon in this comic…
Why do I see a battered husband story arc developing? 😉
Some would say we’re 348 comics into that arc. (I’m not one of those people, but the voices are out there.)
My bf’s ex broke his nose once. Does that make him a battered ex-husband?
Maybe? I think it would depend on the circumstances of the breakage.
Left hook, according to him
