Puck is a weekly webcomic that, in the words of one fan, is "mostly irreverent humor concerning a pretty girl with freckles and a hot she-devil who wears fan-service costumes." Surreal fantasy slice-of-life crazy-type stuff about the world's funniest redhead! Updates Tuesday.
….and that confirms my earlier hunch – tracee is still making lots of money via howlers. the big question is, why isn´t she sharing it with her hubby – possibly to try and force him to get his ass off the couch, regain his wealth+status to become her sugar daddy again? or simply being smart/selfish enough to kep her rainy day money to herself?
either way she should see daphs plans as a worthy investion towards becoming a spoiled sugar baby again, and possibly more – just look at the benefits phoebe´s mom got out of her brief marriage to satan 😉
She no longer works at Howlers, from what I know. She’s basically been a kept woman for the last year or two. She COULD go back, but … that’s not where the money comes from.
Have you met him? He’s Satan! And a very irresponcible spender. Keeping money away from him is good for so very many people other than Phoebe and Daphne.
Is like to guess that Tracee invested all of us like to think that Tracee invested her money in the stock market on potash, pork bellies and pumpkin futures, along with long term CDs. As well a owning a few businesses that suck money. Hair salons, barber shops, lawn maintenance and snow removal
Merry Christmas, Mr. Gecko! Thank you for keeping us Pucked up all year ’round!
Regarding Tracee, I’ve always thought she was more of a femme fatale than eye candy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had been skimming Satan’s accounts.
TRACEEE would never skim 🙁 !
She might “forget” to return with the change, to a Howlers patron. But that could be just an intended tip. It’s plausible.
TRACEEE is an honest lady.
I read something awhile ago where the founders of Costco said that even if they lost $1.51 on every hot dog, the price would never change. It makes more money for them when they’re cheaper, because the way the stores are set up here, to get at the food you have to go by the main sale items and the snack aisle first. Doesn’t matter, an all beef ‘kosher but not labelled kosher’ 1/4 lb hot dog with sauerkraut and onions plus you get to decide how much mustard and relish you want ? yum !!
The term in the retail business is “loss leader”. It usually refers to items on sale that are guaranteed to generate additional sales. Like turkey sales where the store knows you’ll also buy potatoes, vegetables, wine, etc. It also refers to those food kiosks in stores that really make no profit, but they draw in customers who are looking for a quick bite and then decide to grab a few things while they’re there.
Costco’s are’nt setup like that. The foodcourt/hot dog areas are beyond the cash registers and there are no sales displays around them. They may be loss-lead items, but it’s more to reward members for buying from Costco. I’ve been a member since 2006 and it’s like no other retail experience.
I like Costco. I think their model is unique. But I am not a member, mainly due to the fact that I do not own a deep freezer and my wife dislikes the ‘buy in bulk, toss the extra in storage’ model of existence. A former co-worker of mine swore by the gas station, saying he only filled up there and that the savings paid for the membership and then some.
It’s a lifestyle. Not a cult, but definitely a way of existence. And I’ve never really bought in.
I hope Tracee hasn’t become a shopaholic. She doesn’t have an income source any more. Happy holidays to everyone, don’t let Old Man Winter get you down.
Funny thing, there is a British Archie Andrews, also a trouble-maker. He was, is, a ventriloquist’s dummy, clad in long pants, a trenchcoat, a beret. I even have an Archie Andrews UK annual! I long for the day when Archie Andrews meets Archie Andrews. My idea for the start= The gang walks into the Lodge home, Betty notices Mr. Lodge is very happy. “You’re looking chipper, Mr, Lodge!” “Yes” he says. “I’ve just bought Archie Andrews!” Cut to Archie, looking stunned= “You’ve just bought–Me?” Mr. Lodge laughs, shows the gang the Archie Andrews ventriloquist dummy. That gives Reggie an idea, or perhaps Jingles the Christmas elf that visits the gang decides to Frosty Archie Andrews for the laughs. After that, hiliarity ensues!
Just like my friend. He likes to call himself short not vertically challenged. It was a running joke between us that I called him vertically deficient.
When the nose knows you too well. Never underestimate a blind person who other senses are higher than normal.
Exactly. Though I like how Hannah’s sense of smell is mostly attuned to beauty products.
Fear the LBG (Little Blind Girl).
She has powers. Terrifying powers.
That explains the earlier comment by Hannah in strip 769 about Chanel No. 5 – foreshadowing?
Foreshadowing. Hannah has known since that point that Tracee is lying.
I wouldn’t know. I haven’t been t either.
I won’t hold it against you.
Whew! I was concerned.
Is she Daredevil or something?
She’s like the Daredevil of skin and beauty products.

They aren’t married, and she was being presented/paraded as an arm/eye candy sugar baby.
She no longer works at Howlers, from what I know. She’s basically been a kept woman for the last year or two. She COULD go back, but … that’s not where the money comes from.

I invested in long term CDs. Bought some Sabbath, a few Led Zeppelin discs. ‘Monster’ by REM. None of them are worth JACK now!
And you’ve got some nerve calling her handicapped.
Well, I don’t. I call her Princess of the Universe.
Does she park in the handicapped spaces when she drives to the market?
I don’t think she drives.
She couldn’t do worse than half the ‘drivers’ around here
Heh.
Well she said she has her own money in strip 736. But she said it was “not much”.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Gecko! Thank you for keeping us Pucked up all year ’round!
Regarding Tracee, I’ve always thought she was more of a femme fatale than eye candy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had been skimming Satan’s accounts.
And a Merry one to you!
Regarding Tracee, you … will not be surprised when you discover the truth.
is no one going to talk a the bug box of burner phones in the background?
Hey, you run a lot of scams, you need a lot of burner phones.
TRACEEE would never skim 🙁 !
She might “forget” to return with the change, to a Howlers patron. But that could be just an intended tip. It’s plausible.
TRACEEE is an honest lady.
Tracee is literally in bed with the devil. She is no saint.
I know why Hannah wears a collar.
She’s Frankenstein’s Daughter, and the collar conceals the scars present from her cranium replacement.
That is one weird theory.
I’m not always right, but I’m never wrong.
Does this mean that Tracee has an OnlyStans page?
Nah. That would be too much work.
Are those REAL burner phones, or knock-off burner phones?
Same question for the pants and Converse…
The finest ersatz burner phones. Made in Trambolzia.
But not upper trombonezania, right?
No no. Nothing THAT crazy.

Indeed. They know what they’re doing.

I like her, I like her a lot.
Most of us do.
I hope Tracee hasn’t become a shopaholic. She doesn’t have an income source any more. Happy holidays to everyone, don’t let Old Man Winter get you down.
Well, she might not have an income. But she does seem to have cash. Hmm.
Hannah, Cricket O’Dell’s Canadian cousin!
I will admit that I had to look Cricket O’Dell up. Archie comics got weird sometimes, man.
Funny thing, there is a British Archie Andrews, also a trouble-maker. He was, is, a ventriloquist’s dummy, clad in long pants, a trenchcoat, a beret. I even have an Archie Andrews UK annual!

The British Archie Andrews sounds almost as painfully British as the American Archie is painfully American.
One more comment- The Shadow knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men . . . while Hannah knows what lucre is in the designer purses!
Or lurks in the hair of women.
She isn’t handicapped, I use the term differently abled. Mostly because I define myself in the same term when people term me as “disabled”.
There you go. That works.
Just like my friend. He likes to call himself short not vertically challenged. It was a running joke between us that I called him vertically deficient.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Gecko.
Joyeux Noël et Bonne Anne, Gecko.
Just the English is needed. But a M.C. and a H.N.Y. to you too, my friend!
