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.
The guy’s hooked up with an “ancient fairy of lore,” who has an adopted daughter who might or might not be some kind of animal, and they have a friend who’s got a horn and tails and whose father is Satan.
Well, this is why I was fairly insistent that this wasn’t a Halloween plot, and totally divorced it from the holiday because I knew this would happen. This is also why I almost never do anything seasonal. And why it’s never winter in the comic.
My inner 12-year-old thought that it isn’t a green AURA, but a green…emination…that can sometimes happen when one is under a great deal of…intestinal…stress…
If you have ever been stuck inside a van with no working windows when that happens, you know what I mean…
There are bacteria that produce a bio-luminescent gas that is all the more eerie when seen in foggy weather. Or else the Mystery Machine is running on tainted ethanol.
Side effects of Shaggy’s private plot? He’s always hungry, scares easily, and thinks he hears a dog talking.
Or it’s tied into whatever on Earth happened in the Scooby-Doo verse that has left so many genius-level scientists and engineers merely using their skills to spook passers-by.
It’s not lifted from the show. The dialogue from the old show was very … distinct, shall we say? It wouldn’t be very believable or sound very natural coming from these characters.
Nah, a few people have asked that, but Miranda is just in her car seat. She’s only not visible because she’s tiny and you can’t see her car seat in the back row. I can’t really get a good shot angle that shows all six characters in this van, unfortunately.
“Um . . . does anybody else see an eerie green light in here?”
Also, out of curiousity, can Phoebe cross her fingers? I mean, she is the daughter of Satan . . . See, in the fourth panel for a moment I thought she was, but it’s a crooked finger only, so I’m wondering . . .
You know what? I never even realized that crossing one’s fingers was a religious thing. Though it’s obvious, now that I think about it. And given that, I think she’d be able to but probably would refrain out of respect for her family background.
If I have to whistle to provide the Scooby-Doo background music, I will.
no need 🙂

A monster? What’s not to believe?
Well, you’ve got a good point.
Make that two horns.
I’m just amused that last year’s Halloween plot may still be running by this coming Halloween.
Well, this is why I was fairly insistent that this wasn’t a Halloween plot, and totally divorced it from the holiday because I knew this would happen. This is also why I almost never do anything seasonal. And why it’s never winter in the comic.
What if it’s always winter, and Satan just likes it nice?
Always winter and never Christmas? Are you referencing Colin’s sister here?
It didn’t eve strike me.
Of course it’s Christmas. It’s Canada, after all.
Heh.
Oh damn, we’re definitely going to see “The Dougie.” Miranda isn’t in the shot.
Yeah, I noticed that too. No cute comic relief – just an ominous aura of sickly green.
She’s not in the shot because she’s not visible in her car seat, that’s all.
Because Puck and family are responcible people. Sometimes. When comedy isn’t at stake.

Someone crack a window.
With a wrench if need be?
Panel 1-3 the cast tempt fate.
Panel 4 fate responds.
Fate has a habit of doing that.
Especially when tempted.
A silent punch line, yes, but apparently Puck has…. spidey-sense?
Always has.
She’s had a lot of practice.
There are bacteria that produce a bio-luminescent gas that is all the more eerie when seen in foggy weather. Or else the Mystery Machine is running on tainted ethanol.
Hmmmm.
Which is funnier?

Jinx!
Oops!
You know, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Scooby-Doo, so I don’t know if it’s actual dialogue from the show. I kind of hope it is.

Okay I’ll ask. Where’s Scrappy in this picture? Or is that the setup?

Do you think she’d squeeze her thumbs instead?
Sounds good.
So he got the van moving again? Good for him 🙂
Indeed. A clever boy.
Mouth-watering new TWC vote incentive!
I tried.
EG, congratulations, you just set two “Puck” records, one for eerie page and one for sexy pin-up. 🙂 🙂
I’m achieving the dream. Not sure whose dream it is, but I’m achieving it.
I saw a Scooby-Doo-themed backback yesterday, Guess who wasn’t in the front seat of the Mystery Machine with Fred and the girls.
Was Shaggy in the back? Tragic.
