SEPTEMBER INCENTIVE ON TWC!!!
So yeah, as unbelievable as it is, we’re celebrating 25 years of Puck! This stupid comic was started a quarter century ago by some dumb teen. Now that teen is old and has back pains and the comic is still somehow going. Let’s celebrate!
VOTE TO CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES!!!
As for this comic…
Switching focus for a little bit. One of those rare comics without any female characters. Just dudes being dudes. Like that volleyball scene from Top Gun. Without the abs. Or the Tome Cruise. Or the volleyball.
If he helped Kick Started Atari, then it makes me wonder where was he when the video game market crash or if he ever cashed in on the investment ?
Also, Happy 25 years of Puck. Keep up your great work on your red headed aventures.
Well, the games were getting bad. It needed to crash. Satan likely moved his money into Nintendo around that time.
So Satan’s an unkowing patriot defending his chosen home from the raging maniacs to the south? No wonder he’s loosing his groove.
Well, Canadians match Americans in sloth. I could have used the term ‘North American’ but it’s a little awkward.
Fair enough.
Like that volleyball scene from Top Gun. Without the abs. Or the Tome Cruise. Or the volleyball.
Or the gay subtext?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
One of life’s simple joys is playing with the boys, man.
Well, if you only need one ball to play ping pong…
Did Daphne ever get him that shirt?
I doubt it.
Atari huh?
I could have sworn I saw him lurking behind the EA management.
EA didn’t exist in the 70’s. I’m sure his investment moved to EA in the early 2000s.
I mean.. fast food was pretty much what got us. Really it paid off if he invested in Ray Kroc. (McDonald’s).
I’m sure he did.
Never went much for video games. I can manage sloth on my own.
I would reply with something pithy, but the ennui consumes me.
You’re missing out. Imagine the sloth you could manifest!
A Three-Toed Sloth as a familiar?
Good pic.

Re: the vote incentive – my favourite kind of cheesecake!
Well, when someone puts in an order, the kitchen provides.
I love both ginger and bread. “Combining” the two into a biscuit doesn’t do anything for me.
That being said, it DOES make for a wonderful crust/base (with graham crackers and LOTS of melted butter) for a cheesecake.
Especially THIS cheesecake…
Ever had real gingerbread? Like, the cake type? With lemon sauce or caramel sauce? Pretty good.
Warm gingerbread with vanilla ice cream or just some whipped cream… mmmmm…
It’s an acquired taste, similar to sticky toffee pudding, Christmas plum pudding, fruitcake, or mincemeat pie. All of which my family attempted to feed me in as a child.
I haven’t acquired those tastes yet…
Keep trying. You’ll acquire them eventually.
Soooo . . . is he in charge at Disney? Really, that cabal that ousted Satan has no idea of how to be properly evil. They think it’s all brimstone and fire, rage and burn. Sure, that’s dramatic, but it’s easily seen. But evil as Satan does it, insidious evil, evil that no one realises is there, now that’s evil!
Satan was definitely behind that Secret Invasion show. I’d put money on it.
Whoo-hooo for the ginger girl! They say that red hair is a warning label.
They say that for a reason.
My mom had red hair–and I can confirm. 😀
I used to have red hairs in my beard, fwiw.
We all know to look out around you.
“red hair is a warning label” – can confirm.
Twice!
Not just because I’m a slow learner (which I am) but because does it does any good to put a warning label on what you really really want?
It can make getting it more fun.
I think TV is the main culprit.
Cars, TVs, fast food, sugar, corn. So many causes. All brought to you by Satan.
Am I seeing Satan’s eternal shadow beginning to fade at the edges? Or is it taking on a camo appearance now that he is officially trailer-trash?
It is fading. Slowly but surely.
In twenty years, he’ll be shadow-free in broad daylight.
Much sooner.
The thing about ginger: the more it burns, the more it tastes sweet.
It’s all a gamble.
A world of fit Americans. Then Colin mentions a war.
Maybe 1930s and 40s?
Subtext maybe?
Doubtful.
So that’s how the overweight problem started. I must say, I’ve never seen so many seriously overweight people IRL I’m far from slender, but I don’t have a spherical shape. I try to walk 30 minutes or more a day. I like to walk. That keeps me doing it.
Well, I think car dependency and a general lack of movement, combined with the prevalence of fast food, is more to blame. But every little bit helps. Or hurts.
Yes, sadly we have a car culture. And the fast food matter is very well considered in a movie “Supersize Me.” (If anyone is interested, it has a sequel.) It’s a good thing Colin and Puck aren’t overweight. I guess it’s their metabolisms.
Thank goodness for metabolisms. Wish I could get one of those.
