NEW MARCH VOTING INCENTIVE!!!!
I asked my patrons who should be a leprechaun this year and they voted for Puck, so…
VOTE TO KISS THE BLARNEY STONE!!!
As for this comic…
Phoebe’s line in panel three is about the closest thing to sass we’ve ever seen come out of her. Though I think it’s still in character because it’s an observation of fact. Sass through factual observation. But that’s what happens when you’re pushed to the limit.
You and me both Tyler.
I’m fully anticipating the comments section on this one to be various iterations of your statement over and over again.
Well, yeah. We nerds know who the real “hot chick” is in the Scooby cast. And it ain’t Daphne.
Thankfully, my entire readership consists of nerds.
Well, just to get it out of the way, then.
Thee and me both.
Whee! The youngsters are acting more grown-up than the putative adults!
Well, that’s arguable on Tyler’s part.
apricating a good fight without participating? that’s adult entertainment. watching the make-up session after? that’s adult too. you could say adults watch while the children play….
True enough.
I’m surprised Puck’s daughter is trying to act like Dr. Phil in Panel 2.
Well, somebody needs to fix this!
This is gone on so long that whatever they’re going to is probably over.
Let’s be honest: the chances of them ever getting to this event are slim. They always were slim.
“Slim” isn’t something that comes to mind with Velma.
Well, true. Though I will note that depictions of Velma have been growing slimmer and slimmer as the decades have gone on. In inverse proportion to the growing waists of the populous at large.
She is not necessarily slimmer just her sweater is more cut toward her body.
Actually, I’ve always seen Velma as “so round, so firm, so fully packed, so quick and easy on the draw.”
That is a description all right.
I reckon Phoebe could make sackcloth and ashes svelte and luscious, she’s just WOW!
Some people just have a way with clothing.
It was a lucky strike.
Yep: Still with Panel 4 Tyler!
Kindred spirits.
We are all Tyler.
#relatable
Tyler, put your eyeballs back in their sockets… They are distracting my view of Velma!
Heh. This comment is 100% approved by me.
don’t worry they will be put back in their place. there are places a foot can be put that will ‘reorient’ his attention.
also ears are back Tyler. that’s a warning sign.
The ears tell all.
“Sigh” doodles little interconnected hearts…..”sigh”.
Adorable.
I think we all appreciate a good Velma. I like smart women.
I appreciate the color orange too.
Ah, I see you’re a man of culture as well.
We only have the most refined men in this private club.
With lines like “I’m not being difficult, I’m being Velma” and “I appreciate a good Velma” you could start a line of t-shirts.
Enh, the t-shirts never sell well. But the concept is very tempting….
I would consider an “I appreciate a good Velma”!
would need Phoebe’s Velma on it though
Everyone will be very confused who sees that shirt.
That would then be worth it.
I’ve designed a couple. They’re not selling. I can see why Daphne’s career hasn’t taken off yet.
No, they can handle their own madness. The thing to do is to get out of the blast zone.
It’s never as easy as it looks. Nor as bad.
Blast zone radius undetermined.
Out of shouting distance should be enough.
I wonder if Crackistan is issueing tourist visas this time of year.
Or a movie. Movies still exist in their world, right?
I’m gonna cut Tyler some slack here. Phoebe is mostly intentionally sexy, but it’s the moments when she’s being UNCONSCIOUSLY sexy where her true sexiness shines through.
You have a stand-off between two women who are talking at each other with their arms crossed. This has an immediate effect on the…contents…of their upper-body clothing; with Phoebe (unintentionally?) weaponizing her…contents…ie: propping them up and puffing them out in Puck’s direction.
This happens to take place about twenty centimetres from a hetero teenage boy’s eyeballs. How can he NOT have them glued to the…contents…
In other news, I finally figured out what Phoebe’s outfit reminds me of – Hotlips Houlihan wearing her sweater in M*A*S*H…
You have put in a great deal of thought about this scenario.
I wholeheartedly approve.
Personal experience. I was between a pair of arguing ladies that were doing the same thing. They actually leaned in closer to each other, putting…things…right into my…immediate…field of vision.
And yet … I do not envy you.
I was always a Velma fan. But add horns and a forked tail … now I’m a Velma fanatic!
Good man.
I got to meet Ron Campbell, the artist behind Scooby Doo, at a gallery showing in my hometown. Sadly he passed this year. He was the nicest fellow, and while I loved all his characters, I’d take a Gecko-Velma anyday!!!
I really do love the art style of the original show. Great character design. Iconic. Which is why those characters still endure, many many decades later.
Daphne’s ears are so cute. The whole range of emotions. I kind of want ears, puppy or cat ears. But I get in enough trouble with my face. “Oops, I didn’t mean to make that expression out loud.” XD
The ears have betrayed her before. It’s hard to feign indifference with emotive ears.
You can buy them in Japan. Well, ok, Necomimi Cat Ears are more like a prototype, but I’m sure they are working on better version.
@comicReader: I know right?
also I just love how they kinda look like horns folded at that angle.
I’ve finally got it: Daphne is voiced by Tracy Grandstaff – the lady who voiced Daria from the Beavis and Butt-Head spin off.
The popcorn line finally settled it in for me.
Maybe? I’m not sure it’s an exact match. Daria is a bit too monotone; she worked with that disconnected 90’s ennui but Daphne’s got a bit more spark than that. Maybe Tracy Grandstaff could do a voice with more energy? I dunno.
I actually recently had a “she reminds me of Daphne” moment when rewatching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Jennifer Grey as the nasty, angry sister gave me MAD Daphne vibes. It was something about the eyes. Maybe it was the fact that she was scowling and sneering the whole movie. But to my mind her voice was a good match too: cold and cynical with a lot of vocal fry to communicate that world-weary tone.
It’s not often you see two pair beat three of a kind.
I guess it depends on the two pair. Anyway, it’s Daph about to do the beating.
He’s gonna have to know when to walk away, know when to run.
Like, really run. “like, zoinks!” run.
Yes Daphne, you should get Tyler some popcorn. And then he can throw it at you. Piece by piece, of course. 😉
Daph: “If we ever want this madness to end.”
Ty: “Yeh”
Daph: “We *do* want this madness to end, don’t we?”
Ty: “Um”
The madness is very entertaining, after all!
Tyler’s taste is admirable.
And shared by all of us.
