Puck is a weekly webcomic that, in the words of one fan, is "mostly irreverent humor concerning a pretty girl with freckles and a hot she-devil who wears fan-service costumes." Surreal fantasy slice-of-life crazy-type stuff about the world's funniest redhead! Updates Tuesday.
I was going to ask about what happened at Satan’s place this week.
Then you posted it and I no longer need to ask. I am conflicted how I should feel about that. Hm.
Now I’m curious what Satan is up to…
As for the comic, bending around the rules is rather amusing – I have done it so often that people hate dealing with me, as I use the vaguest possible wording to do something so that it’s still within what I’m asked to do, even though it might not be the way people wanted me to do it.
Then the mayor will have to fill out a lot of Environmental Impact Reports to explain away the source of the moxic waste that will result from that fire.
Stranger to Miranda “Well, aren’t you just adorable?”
Miranda: “Wadda ya mean I’m adorable?”
“You’re adorable, you know? The way you act, it’s adorable. You’re a cute little girl”
“Wadda ya mean? The way I talk? What?”
“You’re just… adorable… the way you talk and everything… you’re just adorable…”
“I’m adorable… like what, a puppy? Are you calling me a puppy?”
“N-no… I was just saying…”
“ARE YOU CALLING ME A DOG?!”
“Wait… what? No…!”

Considering she has for a mother an immortal fairy, for a father a guy who routinely walks into and out of danger because he usually doesn’t notice, plus a stepsister who will in about five years rule the Hamilton underworld, plus an aunt who is the literal daughter of Satan . . . . . . . . . . . . yeah, I’m thinking this is a good time to pledge fealty to Miranda, get in before the global rush to swear allegiance to the Empress of Earth . . . .
Concerning the alt-text: it seems to me Tracee’s whole thing is doing what it takes to get what she wants. I don’t WANT to feel sympathy for her but she’s probably had to handle a lot of stinky messes in her life, conceptually at least, considering her profession.
I would knot have thot it possibelle, but TRACEEE looks sexier wild and WET than evah before.
Give Miranda another 17 years under TRACEEE’s tutelage, and Miranda could be the Second Coming of HELEN OF TROY.
I couldn’t agree with you more, Salem. And like Helen of Troy, Miranda will incite chaos and destruction on a level never before seen.
@Lokitsu
Wouldn’t THAT be entertaining ?
MIRANDA = SUPER TRACEEE !!
Make Men Melt, GURL !
eventually…..
… chaos and destruction on a level never before seen? That would require launching not just ships but intercontinental ballistic missiles …
I am glad (but not entirely surprised) that you approve.
Abawa?
Abber-Cadabber
ABBA Cadaver?
Abawa!
Baby speak. My kid alwaysw said “Abawa!” and other gibberish when he vocalized at that age.
Exactly.
Thought it might be an obscure reference to “Disney’s Aladdin.”
Maybe subconsciously.
Miranda is breaking Tracee down.
Soon she will be like Marisa Tomei in Joe Joe Pesci hands.
There’s definitely a ‘My Cousin Vinny’ thing going on with this strip.
okay who taught the baby Joe peschi
That would be her father, Colin.
See Puck 437.
Joe Pesci and ABBA?
The best combo.
So, is Miranda going to be a Dancing Queen at her prom?

You sound like a veritable walking, talking monkey’s paw.
I’d be worried in your shoes that he could read your mind, but maybe not so much because because he’s shown great timing with Miranda.
I like this kid, she’s got moxie.
They’ve both got moxie. The question is whether the excess moxie will ignite and start a deadly moxie fire.
to late….
Look at her mother and you think she wouldn’t have moxie? In spades?
No one really likes MOXIE
“Kid, you’ve got moxie. I hate moxie”
Lou Grant, first episode of “Marie Tyler Moore”
Then the mayor will have to fill out a lot of Environmental Impact Reports to explain away the source of the moxic waste that will result from that fire.
Heh. Moxic waste.
Those gangster movies have really rubbed off on Miranda. 😉
Well, it’s the finest education a baby can have.

@Lokitsu
EXACTLY
I’m still disappointed we didn’t see the pit. Also, oddly enough, relieved.
So am I. Mainly because I have no idea what it looks like. It’s a concept that works better in the abstract, really.
Miranda successfully invokes Joe Peschi for contractual circumvention.
Miranda has gained knowledge +8, chutzpah +6, inventiveness +9, pity da fool +5, initiative +4, dexterity +6, incantations +2.
Tracee has given forced respect, Tracee has gained +4 charisma, +3 mediation, +5 hotness, + 0.2 wet t shirt.
That’s good. STAT BOOST!

Good call.

More on this later.
I wish that I had a babysitter dressed like that. Great smart wit, Geck
I prefer my babysitters fully clothed. But I’m old-fashioned that way.
I just noticed. Miranda is topless.
Adorable. Just adorable.
Well, sometimes we need a little adorable in this comic. Just to round out the tawdry and the morally reprehensible.
I like the “Spweeee!” sound effect in Panel 3. It proves this is a well-written, high quality web comic. 🙂
The best written part of this comic is always, always the sound effects.
Although, I’m sure that Salem Cat would like to know why the dress is sacred.
The dress is sacred because fashion is the only god she knows.
