THE PATRONS HAVE TAKEN OVER!!!
That’s right! For the month of November (and probably beyond) the voting incentive pics are in the hands of the fans! Patrons on Patreon who pledge $5 or more a month get a personal say in what incentives are coming your way! If YOU want to put your two cents in, then my HEAD ON OVER TO PATREON and join the select club!
The first (naughty!) November incentive pic will be up November 1st!
See what all the fuss is about!
As for this comic…
Though it seems strange to point this out, the people in ads for various bathroom products are real people. I find that (for some reason) disturbing and strange – the fact that they go home knowing they will be the face of that laxative or whatever. And that they are okay with that.
The world is weird.
I know, by the way, that for this comic to actually work, it would need to be set months after the previous one to allow time for Puck to start a burgeoning modeling career, do a photo shoot, then have that shoot make it to print. But let’s just pretend that it’s the next day or something, because who needs realism?
That is just so far off the wall, it’s…. it’s….
YA MISSED THE WALL GECK! IT’S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURT!
but the voting incentive ROCKS!
Somebody certainly used their $5 wisely !
Your Welcome. I gave the suggestion for “seeing puck as an actual fairy” and although it I suppose wasn’t what I was expecting i’ll be honest, I still really liked how it came out.
Trust me: you’re NEVER going to get what you expect here!
Maybe next week the Puck Co can do the mannequin challenge! XD
I don’t know what that is, and will not look it up because I’m stubborn that way.
It’d be a bit difficult for them to do that effectively, seeing as they’re still frames…
See? They’re already doing it!
[Disclaimer: I don’t know all the rules to this new fad as I, too, have not actually looked it up. One per customer. Void where prohibited.]
Glad you approve.
I’ll take that as a compliment.
I really liked it, too
I wonder if Photo Finish took that picture.
No, because she doesn’t exist in the same universe as Puck.
I did not see this coming.
Thankfully.
It’s hard to predict how wonderful something can be sometimes.
Absolutely love the incentive art. Sassy and sexy. Plus the whole fair theme you knocked outta the park. Mighty fine work sir.
That would be fairy, thank you auto correct.
Thanks! Big secret: many of the elements in that pic were stolen from a previous project of mine. The weeping birch trees and the fairy wings came from illustrations for a kids’ novel I did a while back. So that made it easy.
Ooooh! What’s the name of the book?
It never got finished. Well, the whole thing was written, but I never finished the illustrations. Just one of my many, many failed projects from a previous life.
🙁
I don’t consider the people in ads real. By the time they put on an approved outfit, go to makeup, read the approved lines/pose the approved pose, then have everything edited/photoshopped in post, they are no longer real people.
True enough. They are mere projections into our reality that somewhat represent the actual being.
Did they photoshop her ears?
Well, they’re there, but they’re less prominent. So maybe?
They made them cute-and-pointy…
The next time somebody asks me a question with the word “demographic” in it, regardless of context I’m going to reply “Fancy-type ladies with money. AND heavy periods.”
Hey, you gotta know your market. I don’t know how many times I get the latest emails from Big Bad Toy Store and look at the stuff they sell, and think “Who BUYS this stuff?” And the answer comes to me: “Nerdy-type guys with money. In basements.”
I thought you were ‘Hollywooding’ for ‘Toys R Us’, but I googled, just in case.
I’ll be back in a few hours…
*add to cart*
*add to cart*
OOO!! *add to cart*…
It’s my source of hard-to-find Japanese Transformers and other nerdobilia. But the large, very lifelike figures of various celebrities and famous characters that they sell just freak me out. Like, I know some people like them, but their almost half-alive eyes and expressions freak me out. I would NOT want a room full of those things. But I can’t get on my high horse given the fact that I have a room full of Lego and Transformers.
Ha! And you know me… trains.
Although! I have never played with my HO people like Dark Helmet.
The “Uncanny Valley” strikes again
Hey Mahnarch !
I hope your Howlers train car project is “Back on Track”.
I was just at a train show a couple Saturdays ago and I specifically looked for a dining car.
I didn’t find a single one – not even an expensive one!
Those are rare birds, I guess.
I did pick up a new (to me) steam locomotive that I”m disappointed in, though. 🙁
How can one be disappointed in a steam locomotive?
Well, it’s an old train, but it’s in that era between “antique” and “still works”.
I basically bought a decoration.
Though, it’s a cool decoration, I guess.
Here’s the best It will do.

Oh, Mahnarch, oh….
I think I know the Vendor – he called me and was sniggling about … something.
This guy ?
http://imgur.com/g4UcIx0
“Yessss, yesss, works good, Gooood ! Precious it is, Presssscious”
I really thought he had turned over a new leaf.
Imgur appears to be down, but the descriptive voice sounds familiar. Yes.
Getting to say I told you so only feels good if you don’t have to explain why you are saying it in the first place. Saying I told you so then having to tell people the event makes you feel stupid, and petty but mostly stupid. Not that I know from personal experience or anything.
Puck is never above stupidity or pettiness. Ever.
From what I remember, this is the first time we’ve seen their actual TV in the new arc. And if it’s not – correct me! (Though I can’t say I remember that).
If I wanted realism, I wouldn’t be reading Puck. I read Puck for a good laugh (and because it’s my favorite web comic that I follow).
I liked the voting incentive – it was unusual. And nice.
Um … I’m not really sure in what way to comment. I suppose I could comment on the interesting word which is translated as Oh Ye of Little Faith in the King James version.
Here’s a comparison of Matthew 8:26 in the KJV, Esperanto, and the Vulgata Clementina:
And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Kaj li diris al ili: Kial vi estas timemaj, ho malgrandfiduloj? Tiam li levigxis, kaj admonis la ventojn kaj la maron; kaj farigxis granda sereno.
Et dicit eis Jesus : Quid timidi estis, modicæ fidei ? Tunc surgens imperavit ventis, et mari, et facta est tranquillitas magna.
Uh… Yes. Yes, this is one way you can comment.
Lol awesome
So okay no one has mentioned this yet, so i’ll do it.
Nice new “impossible” outfit pheobe.
No serious, I like the shirt and pants she has on. A+ 10/10
Also since i can’t edit this into the original, Daphne’s shirt rules too. I wish I had her collection of snarky pop and videogame reference t-shirts (in male size obviously)
Well, you can. Most of them are for sale in my t-shirt store. Though I understand that the wish was more a “I wish I had this just here, and didn’t have to pay exorbitant sums of money for it” kind of wish.
It’s NOT impossible. It just requires some serious wire framing.
Being something other than strictly human, does Daphne even have a period?
Word on that is out.
ElectricGecko can you give me the link to the other the minecraft skins please? i already have the puck and pheobe minecraft skins. i need the other two skins which are the Daphne and puck’s husband minecraft skins(i forgot the name of puck’s husband).
The reason being is i had to get my mom’s computer fixed, because it short circuited and was broken down. >_<# the computer short circuited the day after you posted the Daphne voting incentive.
i just got it fixed last night at 11:00 pm(took me long enough) and i couldnt get the skins because my computer short circuited.
Yes. Yes I can. Especially considering the fact that you might be the only person who actually liked them!

Doggie Dan must be relieved he is no longer the worst Voting Incentive evah.
I’m going to add to my mantra, (“Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels..”) the phrase “and having only four periods a year is an added bonus.”
That’s not healthy!!!!! My wife knows one woman (a runner) who was very close to 0% body fat who got that number down to zero a year. Kind of frightening.
Good gods how are they not dead yet?!?!?!?!
You must plunge a stake into their hearts, lest they spread their hellish ways and take the souls of others!
Either that or introduce them to chocolate swirled cheesecake…
Ick, cheesecake, I haven’t tasted it in ten years. I repeat, “Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels” and the next line, too. My GYN says it is nothing to worry about, that’s the way it was in preindustrial times. And she should know. Think how much money I save on tampons and unruined underwear.
with fresh strawberries!!!
C’mon, you KNOW you want to try a taste
(bwuhahahahahah)
BEGON, UNNATURAL WENCH! (wields a cross in Susan’s direction)
If I had wanted to, I would have eaten some at the innumerable church brunches I have attended in the last ten years. (that’s why the cross doesn’t make me begone!) I will take the strawberry, however. **Makes a smoothie**
Hey Susan !
I know U R happy !
ME 2
Oh, and I love the incentive! iIce work, EG! +1
Now, will Puck actually be earning any income from her modelling, or will her greasy “agent” take all of it?
I don’t know. Though I’ve heard that this sort of gig – the low-glamor commercial-type modeling – is actually the variety that pays pretty decently. Apparently the big name, high profile magazines (like a fashion shoot in Vogue, say) pay next to nothing because they know models will take the job merely for the exposure. No one wants to do this sort of modeling for free. Ergo, it’s generally lucrative.
I saw Puck getting her fairy on! Is that her true form?
My first thought on the incentive pic was… That is definitely NOT Tinkerbell!!!
No. No it isn’t. She’s artificially enhancing her fairy points.
WHAT. Where did she get the wings, then? They look real!
Walmart. You just need to look in the right section.
>:/
So will Puck actually be earning money now?
I love how the crescents on Phoebe’s outfit fit around her…curves.
I didn’t realize that the Goodfellow household had so many books… unless those are all Collin’s. Phoebe strikes me as more of a Kindle girl.
You’ve got a household with two humanities majors. That’s just what it looks like.
Where are the super Mario books for the elective studies?
Yeah, I just didn’t expect Puck would want to keep it all…
hate to say it Buggle, but Books are kind of like an addiction… Once you are into them, you collect more, and more, and more…..
Whenever I move, the most backbreaking chore I have is carrying all those boxes of books of a flight of stairs… But I do it, cause they are MY books!
Well, I mean, I get the whole book thing – my house is pretty much a library as it is. I’m just surprised that Puck kept hers. Does she read them at all?
No English majors ever read the books they got in university. It breaks the law of English majors.
Then why not just sell them once she got out of college if she didn’t read them? I don’t keep books I don’t like.
English majors like them. They just don’t read them.
WHAT. How can you like books you don’t read? Yours must be so lonely…
Must be why I read my books, cause I was a Health Sciences major. Exception: I fully intend to get around to finishing Paradise Lost one of these days
Spoiler: the devil made her do it.
And finally, I love how Phoebe and Daphne’s horns/ears mirror each other in the third panel.
That wasn’t even intentional, but sure. That sounds good!
You probably just did it subconsiously.
Wait – dog teenagers have periods?
Buggle is on a roll ! Awesome !
I prefer to believe Daphne is an escapee from the Toronto Zoo JACKAL JUNGLE ADVENTURE.
Whenever I check for a new comic, I write down all the original thoughts I come up with in a flurry of comments, and then reply to other people’s.
They’re seven times as frequent, however since she’s also human-oidish, maybe, just maybe, naughty girls got luck and they start seven years after normal puberty.
Stop asking ! Stop asking !
In the name of all that is holy just stop asking !!
The answer can’t be pleasant !
Salem, Salem… No reason to freak out, this is good wholesome family entertainment! It was even in a famous song….
“Tampons and Maxi pads held with a string, these are a few of her favorite things…
When the time comes, when the blood flows, when she’s feeling cramped.
She simply remembers her favorite things. and DEATH to all men who have laughed”
Come on, I’m sure you all remember the lyrics!!!
You people horrify me. Though I suppose I started this nightmare. 😉
“Hey, Janet, what’s wrong with Salem ?” “He’s on his back, twitching and drooling – I mean more than usual.”
“Ohhh, he’s been reading that Web Comic again. Figures.”
She’s your only hope Salem-Wan-Kibble.
At relations.
Well, she’s at least partially human? Maybe?
Human?
Well. Daphne DOES possess only two mammaries.
(that we know of)
Eewh
I’d buy that for a dollar.
https://youtu.be/p14tIBa1f70
I’d forgotten about that guy !
That reminds me, still waiting on an arc with Daphne’s origin story…
But no rush! You can put in Satan/Traccee’s trashy wedding arc in first! First! Please!
Yeah, once a year. Humans call it “being in heat, the frustrated sequel”
Well we COULD talk about heavy flow days – OR… we could circumcise ourselves with a live lobster
Choices… choices…
I just woke up …. and ….
O M G ….
(twitching again)
(wake me up when Trump wins)
I kick the cardboard boxes in the cybersphere about.
WAKE WAKE
TUNA FOR BREKKY
You’re sure they just didn’t steal that from her wanted poster?
There’s a WANTED POSTER for Hillary ?
Already ?
Bound to be.
WAT ?
Fireworks ?
Baldie and Janet are SCREAMING – even set off Fireworks.
More TUNA for me ?
Hey Canada .. get ready for Katy Perry, Madonna, Barbara Streisand, they’re all moving to Toronto.
Wait a minute … You guys have standards ?
I guess America is stuck with them.
He’ll with that, let them open a resort in guadalajara
Eh, Alec Baldwin didn’t leave when Bush won. Those Hollywood types are all hysterics, anyway
…..
There are none so blind as they who will not see. Puck. =_=
I need an inside guy to handle the influx gecko. Since you teach English literature as well as the English language and you have a website, I hereby nominate gecko as interim immigration unofficial for people who speak American who wish to move to Canada.
Sure. Open borders for anyone who wants to come up.
I may be seeing you soon, Gecko… Be warned, I may show up at the Canadian border drunk and full of Cheetos and donut holes.
Leave the donut holes home.
I’m betting TIM HORTONS donut holes are the best in the world !
That way you’ll have more more for Cheetos – yum !
They’re not.
You mean that they make don’t holes from the cheerios’ holes?
I have a futon.
Thanks, man.
Edit!
Theanks, man. [crashes]
And a huge Pantry crammed with fine White Albacore ?
I’ll tag along with Buggle, if it’s ok with her.
I don’t take up much room, and am a fine driver:
https://youtu.be/9n1cqbvCpDg
OH ! OH !
This is going to be epic !!
Buggle and I are visiting ElectricGecko !
I call SHOTGUN !
Seriously, it’s Hamilton. We’ll need Shotguns, right ?
And Ammo – buckets of Ammo.
Catnip – can’t forget Catnip.
ElectricGecko’s got the Tuna.
What are you drinking Buggle ? Capt Morgan is good.
We’re going to be just like Thelma & Louise !
Except for the “Driving Over the Cliff” part. Tho I am good at that….
Absinthe. And I thought Cananda had reeally strict gun control lawes – how’ll we get em past the border?
Disguises.
Huge Black Glasses, False Noses, Major Black Mustaches.
Fools them every time.
Absinthe gives you visions, right ?
I could use some of them.
Idk, I dun’t remember any visions.
*sniff* Where am I? I’m cold and have a headache. Did I get to Canadna?
Ok Buggle – Don’t freak out.
When your eyes are back in focus and you see this, http://i68.tinypic.com/23jn239.jpg it’s just me. Or one of the shotguns. Or the Cheetos.
Before you passed out we disguised everything !
(so clever are we)
We’ll be at ElectricGecko’s door soon. I’m glad we decided not to call ahead.
Everyone loves a surprise !
He’s probly expecting us.
THE ABSINTHE!!!! DID YOU DISGUISE THE ABSINTHE?!?!?!?1
Arugala !
Absinthe ? Absinthe ?
Everything is disguised so well I can’t find ANYTHING !
Buggle, where are you ?
(Cat is panicking)
Buggle ? (shotgun)
Buggle ? (cheetos)
Buggle ? (‘shotgun)
Buggle ? (shotgun)
Why oh why did I pack so many shotguns ?
Oh yeah – Hamilton.
*Mahnarch, dressed as a moose, walks past Buggle and SalemCat, who are in a panic at the border*
“Hey, dere, guys.”
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. I hear.
Fonder of more Absinthe…
http://imgur.com/a/5KltV
I’m here, SalemCat (disguised as a shotgun)
We’re here ElectricGecko !
We’re here ! (pounding on the door)
Wait, what’s that ?
A FOR SALE sign in the front yard ?
No forwarding address ?
There MUST be some mistake !
(cat panicking again)
What now, Buggle ?
Halp ! HALP !!
FUN FACT – and highly relevant to this week’s Voting Incentive.
Buggle’s fave drink, ABSINTHE, is a traditional green Spirit known to the French as “la fée verte” (The Green Fairy).
http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Absinthe-Wallpaper-absinthe-446334_1024_768.jpg
Wow !
Buggle, you are Master of Disguise
http://imgur.com/a/19tU0
Buggle, look over there …
Yeah, that guy in the crosswalk – could it be ?
Nah, sorry, fail.
http://imgur.com/a/zk2ov
Nah, if it were Gecko, then he’d be Electric…
If and when Colin sees that ad he’s sure to say that Puck sold out.
Puck’s new bonanza of bucks means Colin can finally afford Kleenex ?
I doubt she’d allow the residuals to trickle down to him.
Maybe Puck has been supplied with extra “Product Samples” Colin can tear up into handkerchief sizes and sneeze into ?
New ones, mind you. I know where this could lead, and I’m heading it off RIGHT NOW.
(“Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men?” – SalemCat knows)
If only they were legally married – then her money would be his money as well…
Daphne will be eating grass before that happens.
Buggle; you obviously don’t know how marriage works.
What’s his is “ours”.
What’s hers is “hers”.
Except when it comes to the trains. Most wives don’t really care to have any sense of ownership over those. Or the Transformers.
And when they’re lesbians, what’s hers is also “hers” and “hers”.
Did that make sense?
“Buggle; you obviously don’t know how marriage works.
What’s his is “ours”.
What’s hers is “hers”.”
But – there is SO much more:
No human pet thinks THE CAT is listening.
So we get the really good stuff:
Janet: “Why can’t you keep your CRAP better organized?”
(Crap = House Paint, Ladders, Hammers, Nails, Lawnmowers) Yes, all the things Baldie despises to his very core. Unlike beer.
Baldie: “Yes, dear”
Oh, yeah… How does it work for lesbians?
Label maker?!
***
With cats, the really “cool” stuff just kinda disappears when no one is looking, right?
I had a cat, years ago, that hoarded bottle caps behind the couch.
She knew the value of things!
“I had a cat, years ago, that hoarded bottle caps behind the couch.”
BOTTLE CAPS !!
I prefer Earrings – 10K or better ONLY.
And Socks – not sure why. ( because they smell like tuna ? )
That voting incentive was awesome then it made me sad realizing Puck still hasn’t gotten rid o that blonde hair or gotten her sexy freckles back q_q.
Well, this is a little taste of reality the way it should be.
Thank you, Gecko. We need that in these dark, dark times of evil, unnatural blondes…
Do they make HAIR DYE for cats ?
I need more evil …
WAIT !
Patreon just gave me SOME !
Yippee !!
EVIL = TRACEE = BIKINI
Cough up the Buck !!!
O_O
I just can’t handle anymore of this unnatural blonde blasphemy 🙁
Didn’t realize till just now that the ad is for tampons.
What color is the sky in your world?
Naw, just didn’t notice before. Been a busy week.
What? Did her talking about rich ladies and periods not tip you off? Do you just speak a different language than most humans?
After years of my mother telling me what she went through to have me, I can take anything. Just didn’t notice.
Robert, Robert, Robert….. You made me make SalemCat twitch and drool for NOTHING!!!!!
well, on second thought, the results WERE their own reward!
Maybe I like twitching and drooling.
Maybe…
Small price to pay for a great cat picture…
“Get that face! Get that Chest!”
Am I reading that magazine rightly?
Also … is that soft, collarbone-baring off-the-shoulder sweater if the cleavage-showing peephole Puck’s hottest non-sleepware/non-swimwear often, denoting a not-so-gradual Phoebification of her style?
Perhaps…
if = with
often = outfit.
Don’t know whether to blame autocorrect or the wine.
Anyway, “Perhaps….” is the answer to so many questions.
That, and more wine.
“Whatever your flow, you know where to go.” You know, that is a good slogan. Between that, the knock-off business and product names, and Daphne’s shirts, there’s a second… well, I guess third career for you in there somewhere.
My best was the still the slogan on the sign in the maternity wear store: “You GLOW, girl!”
“Say Yes To Calories” has a cheerfully brutal honesty. I’m tempted to print a few up and post in strategic locations. Sure to get a laugh – just don’t know whether you’d prefer credit or anonymity.
//www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-148
And I still think that’s TRACEE in the store poster wearing one of them Pregnancy Foam Bellies thing-a-ma-gigs they use in Hollywood.
BTW, would it not be heart-warming to see Phoebe finally embrace her Dad’s choice of life-partner ?
As an official Patreon, I want to see Phoebe give Tracee a huge hug while weeping “I LOVE YOU MOMMY!”
NO.
Yet again my humble Patreon Suggestion has been crushed by the 50-Ton Steamroller of Sanity.
The cat is 0 for 10 – just the way he likes it.
But I really thot I had a winner this time – everyone loves a heartwarming “Mother”-“Daughter” moment.
Don’t they ?
:/ I don’t – makes things weird. Esp. as Phoebe is my idol of choice…
We can take bets on what expression would be on Tracee’s face.
Well, that was fast – and definitive.
Golly.
You could have kept us all in suspense for a few hours at least.
Maybe Buggle can change your mind (if I can find her).
Buggle ? (shotgun)
Buggle ? (shotgun)
Buggle ? (empty bottle of Absinthe – ooooh, I must be getting close ! 🙂
AHM right here! (you see a box of shotguns take a swig of absinthe)
I suggested male and female versions of Puck and company in a gender bender. The answer was it’s unlikely that anyone would be interested.
I don’t think it would fly, Greg, but I gotta admit that it’s better than some of the ones that I thought up (and immediately put in the “Noone must ever know it was me that came up with this horrid idea” file).
wait…. WHO’S SNOOPING AROUND MY HORRID IDEA FILE????
*Pron Folder: 40Gb*
*Bad Ideas Folder: 257Tb*
I use ONLY the BAD IDEAS.
But that IS what cats are all about….
Heh, I am reading “Stalky & Company” by Rudyard Kipling. There is a story in it in which a cat figures prominently. Look it up :p
I thot that guy was just a freak for Mongooses (Mongeese?)
Have to check it out.
Thanky !
Kipling is awesome, SalemCat. Straight up, no joke, He is one of my favorite poets. If you really want to read something inspirational, Read this:
http://www.kiplingsociety.co.uk/poems_martha.htm
BTW, Susan, I wish we could like others comments! you just got a huge thumbs up here from me.
WAIT
I just had a horrible idea.
WHAT IF PUCK DUMPS COLIN NOW THAT SHE CAN DO BETTER?!?!?!?!
Whoa ! :O
Buggle, is Tony going to try to bop Robin ?
I’m worried she may even agree to it.
She’s just not Puck anymore !
(whimper)
Buggle…. you’re scaring me…
(hides under blanket)
Oh, boy…she’s getting worse… and not Puck-type worse either.
Come back freckles! Save the day!
It’s only the beginning! Bwa hah hah! (Actually, it’s sort of reaching a crescendo, so maybe closer to the end?)
Here’s hoping it’s just beginning !
It’s FUN !!
(200)
But ears and horns and tails and fur are realistic?
It’s fiction, I’m rolling with it.
But in my mind, it’s still a week later and the ad was SUPER late and they paid the magazine extra for it which is in part why Puck got to be in it rather than, you know, someone who knows to ask for more.
Realism? We don’t need no stinking realism!
