NEW VOTING INCENTIVE! IT’S MANGA MARCH!!
Puck is turning into a sci-fi manga this month! Vote each week to see the full pic take form!
As for this comic…
This comic wasn’t initially in my big plan of comics for this arc, but after last week, people were wondering how others in the household might react to Satan’s new exposed face. And I wondered, “How might Puck react?” And the answer was predictable: with violence. So here you go. Some violence. This is, for the record, the second time that Puck has beaten Satan unconscious. Though this time it was with a weapon. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.
reminds me of the show Courage the Cowardly Dog. all that’s missing was Satan saying “OW! What did i do?”
Is like to use some of the reactions from The Franctics skit of Arthur J. Muldoon.
I’d not Is.
It’s an iconic thing I am channeling here. Goes back to the earliest days of domestic comedy in comic strips. The rolling pin. Always the rolling pin.
Well, it’s just a good thing that kitchen technology didn’t jump from hand mixing directly to home stand mixers.
I did get a Jigs & Maggie vibe.
I was just wanting to comment on the structural integrity of both the rolling pin and Satan’s horns.
But to be honest, I’m wondering about the comedic effect of revealing half of the rolling pin having been embedded on one of his horns, with a slight bend afterwards.
Hard to see in this panel, but there’s a bump on Satan’s noggin and it looks like she hit him from behind the horns. I did consider having her actually break one of the horns, but I’ve put the guy through enough already.
Totally off subject, but Satan needs to see a hair stylist. The “aging biology teacher who’s still trying to appear hip” look really isn’t doing him any favors.
Yeah, he needs to move over to math teacher before it’s too late.
Hey, no one was really able to see his hair until now. He felt no motivation to hit the Magicuts.
I always thought he was competely bald, with a pointier goatee/Van Dyke beard.
I can understand that.
You’re telling me you don’t?
ROFL: came here to say that myself!
It’s the lowest of hanging fruit. 😉
THIS is fruit on the ground! And I’m lovin’ it!
Always pack heat.
More importanly, WHERE was she carring it.
Hammerspace, of course!
Just to ask, is the voting incentive this month Puck as one of the “Dirty Pair” Kei if I’m not mistaken…
You are not wrong. That is certainly the inspiration.
Phoebe as Yuri!
It’s coming.
That one is too easy. Just sayin’!
Well how else is she supposed to prepare for breakfast ?
What breakfast involves a rolling pin?!?
Pancakes ?
YOU DON’T ROLL OUT PANCAKES!
Clearly, you’ve never been to Dolton, Illinois.
Breakfast burritos. I rolled out a tortilla for breakfast just this morning. But I use a french rolling pin for that. The kind Puck’s holding is for pie crust.
My ex once told me I’m a master baker. Or something like that . . . . 😀
My tortillas come pre-rolled.
Seriously who makes their own tortillas?!? Besides you!
Wait a minute, maybe biscuits? Like, biscuits and gravy? I SOLVED IT!
NEVER use a rolling pin for biscuits, unless you want Dwarven Cram instead of flaky Lembas goodness. Pat the dough out gently and cut them out without twisting the glass too much or the edges get tough. Grate strips of frozen butter in for the best flakiness and only mix it as much as you have to, using forks so your hands don’t heat it up and melt the butter too soon. 🙂
Well. I have been told.
Soft disagree here. I roll and fold about 8 times. I get very flaky layers.
That’s a different way to do it and it works too but often ends up just a little tougher since the butter will be melting a bit from working the dough, it still gives nice pull-apart layers though which is all that really matters. 🙂
The biggest thing is to keep the butter from melting until it goes in the oven, if you stuck it in the fridge or even the freezer to harden the butter between folds it should get even flakier.
I don’t roll them either, but then again, I make drop-biscuits
Can’t recall it coming up before—archive scrolls are *so* hard!—but this suggests their happy home isn’t that happy ’cause they have just one bathroom…
Only one bathroom. For a house with six adults and one kid. Not easy.
With Phoebe living with her “friends”, that brings it down to 5 adults.
The question is: Who is the kid?
Daphne and Miranda platoon it. Take turns rather.
At Satan’s age, he might have to visit it longer and more often. (Come to think of it, Puck’s pretty well up there, too.)
It’s a busy place, what with all the seniors around.
Once you have acquired the +5 Rolling pin of Obedience, you put it in a quickslot for instant use 😉
So true.
Puck: Defeater of Satan!
Isn’t that a get into Heaven free card?
Even if she had a free pass, they still wouldn’t let her in.
So, she picks the lock, lets herself and her friends in. I’m sure Pierre Elliot Trudeau will be fine with that. (Hey, if he wasn’t God taking a break here on Earth, he sure behaved that way!)
Oh, the Trudeau slander. How it zings.
Eh, I guess it came off that way. Truth is, should Heaven exist, and should I get in, it wouldn’t surprise me. It really wouldn’t. Anyway, enough politics. I wonder where The Darkness went. I’m thinking that one ex-girlfriend, Code Yellow girl.
I was going to suggest biscuits too (or English Muffins, or Crumpets, or Scones) until we were educated in here.
Could as easily have been a cast iron skillet. At least that’s useful for bacon, sausages, and eggs (followed by baking cornbread in the bacon fat)…
There’s an iron skillet in the cast?
Exactly my thought. Iron skillet has a much older pedigree than rolling pin in comedic domestic violence.
I suppose if we really wanted to put our ancient nostalgia on, Puck would have used granite millstone.
Granite millstone is usually fatal. Wooden rolling pin less so.
Dropping a millstone from a tall building, the Biblical solution to many problems, that should be super effective against him 😉
I thought the Biblical solution was locusts.
locusts, large hail, boils, leprosy, being taken over by another country, the Bible has a lot of “solutions”.
And in keeping with the inspiration!
“In this neighbourhood? Of course I’m carrying a rolling pin!”
“You’re not outside!”
“I repeat, in this neighbourhood of course I’m carrying a rolling pin!”
Observant.
Living next to Crackistan I’m surprised she’s not packing heat.
It don’t come hotter than a rolling pin in Canada.
Unless you live in Alberta. lol
How is it different in Alberta. I do not recall.
I wondered if someone had used such a weapon at your house recently so it was art imitating life!! You have to warn your wife before you shave your beard.
No. The rolling pin in my house is marble, so I’d hope not.
With a marble rolling pin? They’d find your body days later.
Meanwhile, the raccoons are quietly moving Phoebe to a safer neighborhood.
TO THE PARK!
Why wouldn’t she?
Exactly.
PATSUKU! Our new hero!
Is he really that ugly and we can’t see due to constraints in the medium, or is this like those sitcom jokes I love where no one will shut up about how ugly a character is and they look completely normal?
Which is actually the same thing in practice, I guess.
I mean, he is kinda ugly, but in a deliberate way, so I’m gonna assume it’s the first one and your art just naturally skews handsome.
I find it hard to draw truly ugly people. It upsets me.
Not much diff, I guess.
Puck’s so cute when she gets mad. (Or do you say “angry” in Canada?)
In Canada, we say either. It’s a weird borderland between England and America. It’s coffee AND tea! In equal measure!
I like both coffee and tea. No wonder I like Canada too. 🙂
Well, Canada likes you too.
Fuībī! Our NEW new hero!
Sorry, Phoebe. FUĪBĪ.
Fun with katakana.
SO much fun.
Looks like Teflon Tiffany isn’t the only mayor in need of a protection detail.
He lost his protection detail. So now this stuff happens.
Yeah that Puck, she’s a knockout. I literally laughed out loud. 🙂
I have achieved my goal.
