VALENTINE’S DAY TIME VOTING INCENTIVE!!!
Okay, so Valentine’s Day has passed, but the voting incentive hasn’t!
VOTE FOR THE TRIUMPH OF ROMANCE!!!
As for this comic…
Next comic, we actually transition to the next day! This is called storytelling progress! Of a sort! Also, if the Kevin Costner movie ‘The Bodyguard’ had more violent attack raccoons in it, I’d probably have watched it.
“There are somebodies I’m longing to see / I hope that they turn out to be / Someone to watch over me…”
So many song possibilities.
Private eyes, they’re watching you.
The snouts look way better, btw. I’m not getting that “too long” feeling.
SO many song possibilities.
The only way she could be safer is if she was being protected by Canada Geese.
Geese put on a good show and are great at intimidation but they’re cowards. When the chips are down, raccoons are the nastiest things on the planet.
I’ll need to introduce you to a Opossum at some point…
We’ve met.
Santa is a bodyguard?
I don’t know what to say about that.
Well, of a sort. Not sure about his travel time to rescue you.
And just what is wrong with me, EH?
You can never know when a raccoon will strike.
Fast strikes the banded bandit.
Every breath you take, every step you take, they’ll be watching you…
That video would go viral… and immediately spawn others of those who wanted raccoon bodyguards but approached them the wrong way and ended up being mauled themselves…
Pro tip, would-be influencers: raccoons don’t care how many followers you have. They DO care how many hot dogs you have and if you brought enough for EVERYONE.
raccoon bodyguards…..now thats a business idea i´d invest in!
Worth ALL the hot dogs.
You can’t buy love. But you can buy loyalty. From raccoons. With hot dogs.
You can buy loyalty from people as well, although usually it costs more than hot dogs.
And they don’t believe you are their friend. Raccoons are an easier sell.
I thought you rented it.
Paid with a thousand sweet kisses. Not hot dogs.
From you? I’d rather the hotdogs.
Ayup. The only off-switch raccoons have is the total extinction of enemies. Hmmm . . . one wonders if the cabal will be paying a midnight visit . . . the raccoons could happen to more deserving people, but can’t think of any such at the moment.
I feel like Phoebe would never okay the use of raccoons in an offensive fashion. Only defensive. But maybe?
I feel like Phoebe wouldn’t really have that much say in the topic.
What is the deal with Daphne’s shirts? They make absolutely no sense.
They make TONS of sense. To the right kind of brain. Which is really the wrong kind of brain, because you have to be slightly demented to get them.
Makes sense to me. That might not be a good thing.
I actively aim to make Daphne’s shirts as obscure as possible while still being obvious to approximately 10% of the readership. If you’re consistently in that 10%, it means something.
While I accept your explanation, I will not wish for, nor actively seek said dementia. Just sayin’.
Fair.
Frighteningly enough, it just occurred to me the the phrase “A Pump and a Bump” sounds like the act of getting “Knocked Up”.
Wrong kind of pump. Wrong kind of bump.
They’s educational. They encourage me to search on their phrase and learn things about the past … usually bands or videogames I missed. It’s not terribly useful knowledge but it’s knowledge – this one in particular is a clever phrase IMO.
That’s right. Education here, people!
Phobe might be safe sleeping in the open BECAUSE it’s a bad neighborhood.
“Huh, pretty girl napping in the open with no obvious defense. In THIS neighborhood? That’s GOTTA be a trap. I’m staying far away!”
That t-shirt with ‘bait’ written on it doesn’t help either 😉
You are not wrong.
“Every single day / Every word you say / Every game you play / Every night you stay / I’ll be watching you.”
Nothing creepy there, nope.
That Sting. Always the romantic.
He DID say “Good luck to people who used this as their wedding song – they’re gonna need it”. So, some self-awareness there.
I’d prefer to just fire out from the gate with “No Children” by The Mountain Goats.
A friend insisted on singing “Gypsy Rover” at her wedding, whose lyrics to me at the time sounded like someone dedicated to the wandering life and therefore not that great an attitude toward marriage. On re-reading the lyrics today, I saw them express a determination to stick together no matter what, which is kind of romantic. They’re happy together 30 years later so maybe it was a good choice.
All depends if you’re doing the roving with someone. Or away from someone.
No, it’s terrifying. She’s a local, she’ll be fine. Roj, on the other hand, may set the house on fire designing an early warning system.
Am I the only one that has noticed how much Daphne has matured in the past 3 arcs? She’s gone from a selfish hellioness and transformed into a caring young lady who’s concerned about the welfare of those around her.
The change isn’t even subtle!
not that I’m objecting, of course…
Not a bit. Tyler’s been a good influence.
Well, I can never be accused of subtlety.
I agree. But the change may be ill-timed, as ever since her tirade at the end of the Scooby-Doo sequence, Puck is in need of a comeuppance that Daphne’s capacity for pitiless hell-raising is capable of delivering.
But it will be hell-raising with a moral lesson…
It’s nice to see Daphne express caring toward her auntie who is not crazy, just different. Way different. Her ultra creative approach toward fashion design has to come from somewhere!
That said, I would share Daphne’s concerns but this is not that sort of comic. Perhaps the businesspeople next door take steps do prevent things from happening that would attract the unwanted notice of the police.
Not at all crazy. At all.
