IT’S MARCH!!!
I’d like to say this month’s voting incentive pic is seasonal, but nah. It is, however, a picture! If you’d like to see it…
VOTE TO BECOME THE KING OF CARTOONS!!!
As for this comic…
In doing research for this one, I learned a few things.
First, I learned that it’s very hard to draw Kewpie dolls correctly. I did intentionally make these ones look a little freakier, but their unique look is hard to emulate.
Second, I learned that Kewpie dolls were created by Rose O’Neill, the first published female cartoonist in America. Pretty cool. She really guarded and managed her intellectual property carefully, too. In fact, she rejected the first dolls because they didn’t match her drawings, so she had to personally supervise the creation of the final design. Obviously I wasn’t the only one who struggled to stay on-model with her designs.
Third, I learned that real Kewpie dolls have tiny, creepy, blue wings sprouting from the backs of their necks. I am horrified by this fact.
Sinvestments, nice I like it.
Also, good dad joke in the Alt-Text.
It’s dad jokes all the way down with this comic!
Wait..
So when Sigmund says profit, does he mean monetary, or increase of human sin? Or both.
Cause there’s nothing wrong with earning money to spend on frivolous things so long as you’re still earning enough money to maintain the upkeep on those frivolities.
However, if it’s an increase in sin that is important, then he needs to focus and adjust his collecting to promote greed and envy in other collectors.
Oddly enough, the increase in sin is directly proportional to the increase in monetary profits. Funny how that works.
I must have never encountered a real Kewpie doll, since I don’t recall ever seeing the wings.
They seem to go for quite a pretty penny, actually. Lots of knock-offs and versions throughout the decades. Especially a flood of cheap renditions from Japan after the 1950’s. The Japanese really developed a love of them for some reason.
Weirdness seems highly valued in Japan.
Nice robot dude.
We aim for nice robots.
Sin-ergize. Invest in alcohol made with cannabis.
Throw a bit of gasoline in the mix while you’re at it.
Where’s the Sin of Wrath when you need him?
He gets a hot head and loses his cool a lot. Very unreliable.
but the most possible candidate to whip Satan back into Demon Shape.
Pose your Kewpie dolls just right, and you’ll start to think they’re watching you all the time…
So terrifying.
His portfolio needs more sinergy: cannabis-infused Kewpie dolls.
Are we eating them now?
I share Sigmund’s concerned about Mayor Satan. As “Dark Knight Returns” Batman observed when he found Two-Face’s lair, the room is divided between dark and clean, but it’s not an even divide. It favors the dark.
Satan’s suit leans a little too heavily to the light side and he has not noticed.
You are observant. Like Batman.
It’s a political facade.
Going through a store yesterday, I saw a couple with two carts. One for small items and groceries. The other had at least ten sacks of garden ready soil, at least 20 lbs. per sack. So after passing them I get a crazy idea. So I turned to approach them, and after they saw me coming back towards them, I asked if they like to hear a good joke. They said sure. So I asked, “Are you sure you’re a politician?” They looked at each other as I waited for two seconds. “That’s a lot of dirt.” She laughed out loud first, and then he looked at her and grinned.
Heh.
Still waiting on the sin of Lust.
I think the lust is what Satan’s golden aura is made from in panel four of last week’s comic.
We’ve got lots of that to go around.
Can’t see the forest for the trees. The comic strip PUCK is Lust. And comedy. But mostly LUST.
I don’t know what you’re insinuating about this fine, family-friendly comic, but I won’t stand for it!
*Brings you a chair*
wow. this guy R?EALLY needs that girl on HISteam.
Marlena Dietrich had one. Went everywhere with it. Another old girlfriend?
Will this be a fun Tracee vs. Sigmund dynamic in the making?
Would not put it past Satan to have had a torrid fling with Marlena Dietrich. And this story is going in weird directions. More on that next comic.
So he collects Kewpie Dolls AND Schnorfs?
The horror…
He’s a collector at heart.
Just saw the incentive for March and… DAMN.
Colin is a lucky man.
PS: Fantastic art!
I doubt she would wear that for Colin.
Poor Colin.
Well, don’t feel too bad for him. I think she would willingly wear far less for him.
Yeah, but still: lookit.
“Sinvestments.” 🙂 There’s mutual funds for that IRL. Seriously. The way things are going, it’s seems easier to invest like that every day. 🙁
Note that I did not claim to invent such a thing. I’ve seen articles about them.
Satan didn’t lie about those dolls’ faces. Creepy as well. 😉
We don’t lie here.
