JULY VOTING INCENTIVE UP NOW!
I felt like drawing a new pic of Puck. So I did. And I put it on a shirt! If you want the shirt, you can get it (and other shirts) RIGHT HERE! If you just want to see the pic, though, vote for Puck on TWC!
VOTE TO BE SO VERY, VERY KIND!
As for this comic…
Back to Tracee and baby for just a comic or two. It’s a pattern. Gotta hold the rhythm.
“You ae learning well little grasshopper.”
I could actually see this experience bringing up more babysitting jobs in the future.
@Commander Clash
I said it before, I’ll say it again….
They’ll have to pry TRACEEE and Miranda apart with the JAWS O LIFE !
A new career path? Probably not as profitable as her current one.
Babysitters are known for refusing to buy into franchises. I remember the riots in ’67.
Cm’on – We all want to see those two hug !
I agree, we definitely need a Tracee/Miranda hug by the end of this arc. Its a two-fer. Hugging babies is cute and exploding heads are hilarious. Win-win!
I suspect that having Tracee casually handing off a perfectly happy baby at the end of the evening by Tracee will really hork Puck off.
Not sure it will ‘hork’ Puck off. Surprise her, maybe.
Interesting.
Most mothers would be horrified when their child HOWLS to return to the arms of the BabySitter.
Robin might just say “MEH” and walk away.
May happen. I like to keep people happy.
What this party needs is a lightswitch rave!
♪Diddle-dit-do! Diddle-dit-do!
“The System.. is down…. The System… is down”
We had that switch installed so you could turn the lights on … and off. NOT TO THROW LIGHTSWITCH RAVES!
“mmeehhh”
*slinks away*
Miranda is adorable- especially because its not MY tablet that she’s finger painting with bananas. Tracee has really grown on me during this arc; and not just because she’s rocking the dirty babysitter look.
That’s how you REALLY do mixed media with a tablet. But I’m glad this little side story is working for you.
I’m grudgingly developing respect for Tracee, although not sure whether she’s giving Miranda a play opportunity or using the kid to get revenge on Satan.
To quote Tony Stark: “Why not both?”
All the best children’s activities have more than one purpose.
I can assume the second word on the jar is “banana,” but “ebeh?” Don’t know the brand…last time I was familiar with baby food jars I was too young to read them.
My guess is that it’s a Bland-Name Product version of Gerber, as pronounced by a baby (“Gebeh”).
That would be too smart for me to come up with.
The first word is ‘Bebeh’. So ‘Bebeh Banana’.
There is an amusing anecdote told of the tribes in New Guinea.
Missionaries gave them Canned Corn – they loved it !
Missionaries gave them Canned Peas – they loved it !
Missionaries gave them Baby Food – they refused every last jar.
You see, cans of Corn and cans of Peas will always have full-color pictures of the contents.
Yet years ago most Baby Food looked like THIS.
The Gerber baby food company encountered that problem in many world markets, according to legend.
Apparently the portrait picture is supposed to be Humphrey Bogart as an infant.
@Commander Clash
A wise choice.
Far better than Abraham Lincoln as a babe (shudder).
(I’m pretty sure he was born with the weird-beard and stove-pipe hat)
Awwww they are bonding.
It’s terrifyingly adorable.
Sorry to sound like a broken record, Gecko, but … I really do like this side of Tracy. ^_^
Heh. Also, this is a fun way for a child’s innocence to render the Evil One powerless.
Two things I’m gathering from this whole story arc:
1) People really like Tracee getting real.
2)People want to kill Daphne.
I understand both of those reactions.
Well, I don’t want to kill Daphne.
I want to see her become a better person.
Which might end up killing her, when her body rejects the new behaviours that would require.
Or make her stronger. You know how the saying goes.
@Rock
Agreed.
We cannot kill Daffy until she has suffered – a LOT.
Oh, that’s right, Satan’s in this comic.
Heh! That’s what you get for abandoning someone with a baby! You get bananaed!
I guess the question, ultimtely, is was there a real emergency or did he just ditch two innocent adults to the mindless assaults of a baby? A cute one at that!
It’s going to be fun finding out!
In this “Gecko bites off more than he can chew” story arc, I find myself constantly in the position of reminding people that certain characters are still in this comic.
That’s O.K. I’m really enjoying it! It may be hard to watch the juggler but boy is it impressive.
Let the world tremble. The enemies have bonded.
They felt the earthquake in California.
Oh, so THAT is what that was! I was wondering…
@EG
And then NYC lost Electricity !
Satan has been one Busy Bee.
*chef’s kiss*
I am very glad that Buggle approves.
@Buggle
*chef’s kiss*
I’m too scared to google this.
Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
sorta
You don’t know what a chef’s kiss is? How can this not be a common trope?
Isn’t a chef’s kiss feline circumcision?
I mean, how else is an Egyptian symbol of the Pharoahs going to be accepted by at least half the people in Florida?
Especially Bocas Raton.
Lol its just that thing where a chef goes “Mwah! Perfection! Delicious!” or something like that.
Traces actually looks like she’s enjoying herself! Amazing! She must have tried some of that banana baby food. Mmmm, so delicious!
It’ll put ANYONE in a good mood.
I like how Satan isn’t looking at his screen but rather the babyfood in on Mirana’s side of things.
Well, the baby food IS coming right for the camera. But yeah, sometimes it’s interesting how characters can see the things that we see, even though their vantage wouldn’t allow it.
I think it’s Satan-specific.
“Tracee! Where are are you?” Error or does Satan sometimes stutter, EG?
Total error. And thank you so much for catching it so I can correct. Would you believe that I read over the comic five times, my wife read it, and it was up for many days before anyone commented? For some reason, some of these errors are hard to spot.
This error that MSG Bob so astutely noticed can still be seen on Puck’s PATREON Page.
It’s well worth the $1 a month to see this – and so much more.
It may even still contain the infamous episode where it is shown, quite clearly, that when it comes to TRACEEE the Drapes don’t match the Carpet !
Or is it the “Carpet doesn’t match the Drapes” ?
Technically it’s the same either way, tho.
Mebe.
THIS is the non-Patreon version.
Yeah, I never end up fixing the stuff on Patreon. The errors remain intact there! Though that underwear scene (which was NOT carpet) isn’t on Patreon. It’s on this site still if you know where to look.
@EG
Yeah, I know it was just black underwear panties.
But it is still wunderbar !
Now Miranda has Tracee on her side. As I’ve said, we are looking at the future Empress of Earth here.
Which, for the record, I’m totally fine with.
Hmmm… Puck for a mother, Daphne for a big sister and “Aunt Tracee” for a babysitter. Yeah, we might as well welcome our future Overlady.
At least Aunt Phoebe might temper Miranda enough so that we get a benevolent dictator.
Cute kids get everyone on their side. The catch is to check back when they’re twenty-five. People tend to lose lots of fans by then.
I would say Tracee wants a kid now, but the whole nine months of disfiguring growth and having to actually give birth… yeah, that’s just not her.
Now adoption… hmm…
Tracee is just starting to round the corner of the ‘kids are the worst thing in the universe’ block and is taking her first steps into a different neighborhood. There’s lots of steps to go from where she is to “I want a kid of my own.” LOTS of steps.
I have to agree with a comment made the last time we saw Tracee; the soccer mom look is sexy as hell on her.
What’s with the PIPES & PLUMBING Satan is surrounded by ?
Mommie’s Basement ?
Well, he DID say that monkey bears were attacking the sewage treatment plant. So maybe an ounce of truth?
@EG
Satan was telling the TRUTH ?
!!!!
Wait ’til his boss hears about that.
@EG
We desperately need pics of these “Monkey Bears”.
Are they to be avoided ? Or encouraged.
Are they Canadian ?
Are they tasty ?
so confused.
as always.
I may attempt to visually present them. I really wish I had the artistic skills of Ethan Nicolle, creator of Bearmaggedon, who has depicted many, many insane bear crossbreeds. But I can only hope to approach his abilities.
