NOVEMBER VOTING INCENTIVE FOR ALL!
So the deal here (again) is that I’ve been working on background images for that bonus comic I keep working on. I had some backgrounds of scenery from my city drawn and colored but nothing that would make a good voting incentive. So I quickly drew a pic of Phoebe, smacked something together and the end result actually looks pretty good!
VOTE TO BE AN ENGAGED CITIZEN!
As for this comic…
I have no thoughts, and I’m late posting this one. So … yeah.
This is pretty much what every man in a relationship looks at when they’ve stayed out for just a second too much, and didn’t bring any refreshments, flowers, pizza or DVD/Blu Ray with them of something single men would not admit to in public.
Right?
Well, I think he deserves whatever is coming to him here. There are ways to show contrition. And he’s not even trying.
For the first time I can get a good look at Satan… and he kind of looks like Michael Gross from Family Ties.
That may or may not be an inspiration. 😉
You mean Burt Gummer from Tremors, of course. *cross armed emoji*
So where did he go to hide?
He had been “Called away on an emergency”.
He had to stop the monkey bears from destroying the sewage treatment plant. It was a whole big thing.
@EG
Some of my best friends live by the Sewage Plant.
They assure me there have been no Monkey Bears there since 2011.
Then the prom didn’t make headlines yet…
I am foreseeing a new chapter beginning in Tracee’s life.
A better chapter or a worse one? I’m really not sure.
Boyfriend priveleges revoked.
Idiot.
Well, what can we expect? He is actually, objectively the worst.
@EG
Now now now
Let’s not be hasty.
Satan is an able provider, and is suitably submissive.
I wouldn’t mind seeing that family reunion – for those very purposes. ^_^
Heh… Badass Tracy.
Sadly, like all the coolest things ever mentioned in this comic, it’s something we will likely never see.
Satan’s been off fighting MONKEY BEARS since JANUARY !
It must have been quite an infestation.
More on monkey bears in coming comics. I promise.
Before or after they fly out of his or Tracee’s bum?
Ew.
@pat
I’ll be nice (this time) and won’t tell TRACEEE the things you said about her lovely bum.
The Devil should be happy, she’s just proven she’ll be a capable mother should they ever arrive at that situation.
You know, if he survives the minefield he just slam-danced into.
He might not survive. This is the sort of bad step that might not be a big deal were it not the edge of a cliff.
Damn Satan! You could have at least brought Tracee a pizza, some wine/beer to go with it. Some Chinese take out…anything man! What where you thinking??
You are a better partner than he.
My partner suggests chocolate, specifically Godiva. Or Wine. I have better results with obscure anime.
Godiva? Godiva chocolate wouldn’t be getting me out of ANY hot water. In my house, if the chocolate can be readily purchased at a drug store or Walmart, it’s immediately disqualified.
Are you sayin’ that you grow your own cocoa plants and harvest/make your own chocolate?!
Where is the order form?
My wife only likes chocolate from small local places that craft and sell their own products. I sadly produce no chocolate of my own.
My wife makes an exception for various European chocolates … that are not Godiva. Godiva started as a Belgian chocolatier but spent most of its history as a division of the Campbell soup company.
The kind who wants to show off his laundry service, of course.
Tracee is mad. She should be mad. But is she call-her-sisters-together-to-take-the-dark-mayor-down mad? Maybe. Although now I have visions of them calling her Tracy and her insisting that it’s Tracee.
“Slovenly”. It’s like he has no sense of self-preservation. Well, being immortal.
Satan is fascinatingly stupid in this comic. That said, he’s modeled on many a man of privilege that I’ve met or seen in my time. And they have little sense of self-preservation because they take their existence as a given and assume a sort of invincible bubble extends around them.
The current or former mayor of Toronto who shares a name with an American family of automakers?
Well, there’s him. And a certain American president. And pretty much every ‘larger than life’ dude who owns some fortune 500 company. I never want for models.
My dad once noted that the . . . let’s call them the well-placed, they tend to do quite well because they get more chances than other people. I can see how that would lead to a total disregard for personal safety or rules or some other thing if the person was inclined that way anyway.
Consequences are for the poor. And for the middle class, most of the time. But rich folk? Consequence-free environment.
To a point. A far point. All the way over there where it takes a while to get to.
>.>
<.<
I love the fact that Tracee scares Satan.
Well, she would scare me.
whats the saying, heaven doesn´t want her and hell is afraid she´ll take over? guess now we know where its coming from – tracee would totally make a more badass+scary ruler of dark forces then this whipped satan 😉
We know it. And HE knows it!
I believe “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”is applicable here as well.
Depending on one’s definition of ‘scorned’, it could work!
Satan’s only hope is to find Miranda and use her as a human shield.
Poor choice of human shield. Too small.
Beggars can’t be choosers
@JJR
You can’t be Canadian.
Or American.
Or living in 2019.
Um . . . Hamilton’s in the Grey Cup, so there’s that, right? Do the Ti-Cats need a new quarterback? Because right now, I don’t see any CFL team facing Tracee and live!
Yes, Hamilton is in the Grey Cup. And watch they win for the first time in twenty years, JUST because I made fun of them for being a terrible team.
And Tracee strikes me as more of a linebacker.
Do we get a passing grade for the week if we point out a grammatical error of omission that is as small as two letters?
Is there a grammatical error? If so, please tell me.
Just in your response Gecko, the one I was replying to. It’s AS if you forgot something.
Or is “watch they” Canadian slang?
@pat
I don’t understand what EG wrote that is improper.
But I think it is wonderful you got him thinking about it.
You, sir – are a GENIUS.
I do have my moments.
@pat
I’ll give you a SNORT as “NERD-O-THE-WEEK”.
(tho any attempt to embarrass EG is usually entertaining)
WHAAAAAAAAAAT. A guy can’t poke some friendly I can’t believe you made a mistake like that? Forgetting two letters? How would the kids ever graduate from their easy AS pie “Super Mario Kart grade 12 component in video game conversational banter” module? as if they were drinking a beer at a chicken wing bar?
if you stay perfectly still she cant see you, though she might smell your cologne if so your doomed anyway.
What, is she a tyrannosaurus?
No, a T-Rex would be less scary at the moment.
Word.
I’ve seen that look before … shortly before I realized my first serious relationship was over, and somewhat after she realized the same.
You’d think that a guy who’d dated Elizabeth Taylor would know better, but then again, he’s got the money to be able to avoid learning anything so what the heck.
Why learn when it’s a show of power to NOT learn?
Stupidity is the ultimate power tie.
“I am so dominant I don’t have to be smart”!
Hmm… and for a moment, I liked Tracee too…
But it WAS a good moment!
What, now you don’t like her again? Fickle fickle fickle!
Will Tracee’s experience with Miranda produce her own baby demon or put her off indefinitely?
Remains to be seen…
My mommie (Jolakotturinn – the vicious and judgemental Yule Cat) has awoken for the Winter.
She has seen what you people are wearing, and she is PISSED.
this may frighten your child
Put those ripped jeans away until spring.
And here’s the reason
This child’s crime was wearing WHITE past Labor Day.
At least now we know why Phoebe turned out fairly well-balanced. Satan was never there during her childhood. Which does, though, beg the question: Who raised the Daughter of Darkness?
I think Phoebe was raised primarily by staff. Sigmund, and maybe a nanny or five. And money. Money raised Phoebe.
No shanking by Tracee’s sisters is necessary. She just needs Puck. She knows how to handle him. 😉
@ChrisH
I must admit Robin can be a thug.
I’m pretty sure she once beat a Woman in a Wheelchair to death.
The woman wished to view Niagara Falls, and Robin was standing in her way.
When the woman politely requested Robin move aside for her, the assault commenced.
Sadly, she did it while visiting the American side of Niagara Falls, where I understand murder is legal.
Oh wait…
I seem to recall that my initial recollection is in error.
EG once told me the Woman in the Wheelchair was blocking ROBIN’S VIEW, not the other way around.
So Robin merely pushed her forward, off the cliff, into the water.
Robin’s view immediately improved, and the woman’s remains were never recovered.
It is believed the Monkey-Bears that thrive among the rapids consumed her – chair and all.
(shudder)
She’s never beaten anyone to death. She’s hopsitalized people, but they all lived.
That is a true statement. True. Statement.
@EG
Technically FALLING down into Niagara Falls never harmed anyone.
The LANDING is another matter.
If Monkey-Bears had Credit Cards they’d be sending Robin Gift Baskets for all the “fine eating” she has provided them.
NO BODY = NO CRIME.
Yep, that’s Robin’s Back Story.
SERIAL MURDER
It’s why she left Sherwood Forest and emigrated to Canada. Sherlock Holmes was catching on to her.
Someday there will be a PUCK spinoff on this.
There will be blood.
It was at that moment that Satan realized – he screwed up.
I think WE realized he screwed up. I’m not sure he’s there yet.
He can still pull out of this.
I hope not. Unless there was a real emergency, I’m with Tracee here. And I more than half suspect he’ll mess it up.
He better pull out, or Tracee will neuter him
It’s only a matter of time until the baby rabies kicks in for her. It’s only a matter of time.
I feel like it should be ‘babies rabies’. Just sounds better.
Ah, moving on from being a trophy girlfriend, are we?
Maybe. It is a natural progression. And glad you’re sure of your identity now.
The alien possessing my body had to take over for a few months, but I’m back.
Sounds painful. Glad it’s over!
Glad to have you back, Buggle!
…wait a minute, how do we know that this is the REAL buggle, hmmm?
The hell with Tracee, what about Phoebe’s sugar high? After eating that crown what else is she going to do or eat? Is she gong to have a hangover? How bad wil it be?
Well, we’ve been following a roughly three-way ping pong game here, with the narration bouncing from Daphne to Tracee to Phoebe to Daphne. So we should get at least one more Phoebe update before the night is over.
There is a Grey Cup on today and cannot watch it since at work.
The Tiger Cats are in it and on my NFL football board there is thread on Grey Cup so I threw the Puck bonus cartoon at them since related. Maybe it will get you some new readers.

Well, if the Ti-cats win, I will need to make amends by doing a Ti-cat themed voting incentive.
Is Phoebe’s mother a human or a demon?
Well, both. Phoebe’s mother is Elizabeth Taylor. Though an immortal Liz Taylor who remained forever young and is still alive in this universe.
Definitely bonus points for the tag “slovenly”
It’s my favorite word. And it’s a word that he’s used in the past, so…
I just checked that earlier comic, and sure enough, I tagged that one with ‘slovenly’ too. Even years later, I still have the same thought patterns.
Next time someone calls me a slob, I shall reply ” You are mistaken, I am no slob, I am slovenly.” (It sounds so much better.) 😉
A slob is just lazy. But slovenly is a lifestyle.
Ummmmm…..
Come Summer is there any chance we can have ALL FIVE of the TOPAZ sisters POOLSIDE ?
I think ‘Topaz’ may be a stage name. Just sayin’.
I second SalemCat’s motion. That would be awesome. 🙂
Satan: “Thank me? Whyever for? I did not exactly do…”
Tracee: “…”
Satan: “Ah. I recognize my error.”
Its a phonetic joke, you see.
