NOUNS ARE BACK!!! REVENGE OF THE NOUNS!!!
Over on Patreon, my top-tier patrons suggested nouns and we had a big battle royale between them, with the victors getting the most votes … and here are some of those glorious nouns in picture form.
As for this comic…
Nothing to say. Running very late. Just finished this. No time for full sentences.
James Cagney?
James Carney?
Lou Albano?
Jimmy Ray?
James (Jimmy) Hoffa?
Jimmy Snuka?
James Logan Howlette?
Superfly.
I was shebangless once. Never quite got over it.
Hard to get your shebang back. Much easier to get your shebam back. Someone’s always going around and putting the bam into it. Not sure who it is, though.
Better than calling them the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. Knaves all three!
Too literary for this Satan.
Was the guy with the beard “Colonel Sanders” because of a fancied resemblance, or was he the one who got sent out for a bucket of chicken?
Yes
I believe his overall resemblance. Though chicken runs might have been involved.
There you go, Satan, engaging in some fourth-wall breaking to enlist the sympathy of Puck’s readers.
Or, as I suspect, he, too, is attracted to the Cat Girl incentivization…
Well, he’s not really breaking the fourth wall. He’s still talking to Phoebe. It’s just that his ‘Liefeld no pupil’ look means that we can’t really see where his eyes are pointing.
that’s a good vote incentive
I’m glad SOMEONE noticed. I thought this one was nice.
It’s nice but it took me a while to notice the bunny suit.
I had to get creative with that.
It is [ahm] VERY nice.
I just don’t tend to not comment much on vote insentives in the comic. I don’t know why.
I don’t need everyone to comment on them. Just one comment to tell me I’m on the right track.
Shebangless? But Tracee’s right there! : )
Well, she might qualify more as a shoobop. Or a ramalamadingdang.
EMILY !!!
How wonderful 🙂
Well, gotta bring in the faves.
Hiring someone you feel compelled to refer to as Cruella seems to literally beg for this kind of outcome. Have you seen her series? I haven’t, but I’ve heard it’s good.
I can see sarcasm runs in this family.
I like the Who’s They. I’d have accepted and even used Who’re Them (much to my mother and brother’s disappointment). Who’re They feels a little odd, but I’m likely overthinking it.
No, I’m wrong. Who’re They is O.K.
“Who’s they?” is not my original creation. I stole it from the original Robot Chicken Papa Palpatine sketch where the Emperor is on a call with Darth Vader:

I love that one. “… and then I threw the Senate at him. True story”
.. “What the heck is an Aluminum Falcon?” “Oh, oh, oh! Oh, I’m sorry, I thought my Dark Lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal exhaust port that’s only two meters wide! That thing wasn’t even fully paid off yet!”
One of the best sketches ever.
Howard, Fine, and Howard?
Perhaps. We shall see how Stooge they prove.
Aren’t family reunions touching? ;). @EG, I hope you’re not housebound because of the forest fires.
I’m not housebound because I regularly make use of N95 masks. But the forest fires likely will keep me off my mountain bike, which is a real stressor.
Excellent use of ungendered pronouns and over-numbered verbs in panel 2. Daphne appears to assume that daddy is using the ungendered pronoun in reference to a single person, and uses the same construction back with “who’s”. Only when Satan enumerates the malefactors does she realize it should’ve been “who’re”, but at that point we’re on bigger issues.
Such bigger issues that she resorts to uncharacteristic sarcasm … or perhaps as she gets older, she gets more complex … like most of us and fine wines?
I just thought it was an exchange that sounded funny.
Maybe that’s a difference between an author and a critic. The author writes an exchange that sounds funny, the critic writes a book explaining it, being either a deep deep thinker or a chatbot hallucinating – hard to tell which.
I’m getting mor terrified of the chatbots with every passing day. Don’t joke about them, man. They may find us.
Funnier still, Satan could’ve responded with “who you calling who’re?”
Ahh an Emily votey, this time in pink phase.
Purrrrfect 🙂
She comes in so many colors.
