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.
Fun trivia: a six-inch cube of gold would weigh 151.2 pounds.
Regular pounds, not troy pounds. So in our world? Good luck picking up one of those things.
In this world? Who knows
“Steam Shovels” haven’t been used since the early 1930s, because you know, we have better ways to make construction equipment move than steam power now.
I think the term you want is either “Backhoe” or “Excavator.”
I would also accept “Bulldozer” if you wanted a piece of construction equipment most people can clearly picture, but it’s the other two that really dig holes in the ground, if you needed something that “digs”.
I knew someone would comment on this. And yes, the modern term is ‘power shovel’. But it doesn’t sound as cool as ‘steam shovel’. Just like a steam roller is cooler than a ‘road roller’. And with Puck, centuries old as she is, I thought it was appropriate that her terminology was stuck in the past.
Muuuuust dooo the maaathhhh… Ok because some of US folks are there for Canada, lets do this in Canadian dollars. Prioce of gold in Canada on March 18th is 428.57. Times 400 oz in a bar and assuming that the bars are stacked evenly and have only one layer deep she has 36 bars which equals 61,683,408 CAN even.
ok, even I have to admit i’m impressed with this smart idea.
I want this as part of my life. This is wish fulfillment.

Well, a good delivery bar (which this is a somewhat scuffed attempt at depicting) is 12.4 kg. So it’s heavy but not THAT heavy. Still a workout.
Also! Me too, I want this in my life too. SO. MUCH.
Swanky.
And to think, a storage locker with something valuable in it!
That’s usually just a TV thing.
Well, webcomics are like an extension of TV, I feel.
Oooh Emily 🙂
Also great visual with the golden glow reflection.
Gotta have that golden glow.
Persian rugs always add a touch of elegance.
Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.
I feel they’re important.
Jeepers they must be worth more than a hundred eggs! 😉
For the moment. Give it some time.
“We’ll be eating eggs every day! Like the millionaires do!”
Fort Knox North.
Well, I think Satan’s original vault is even more splendid.

Puck is a few hundred years old. She was around for the invention of steam
I think the invention of steam far predates the “age of steam” 😀

Tracee did open the right locker, right?
Indeed. I’m sure the adjacent lockers are just full of old IKEA furniture.
Wow. Talk about holding on to your money, but in plain sight like this is bound to cause some problems, right ?
In reality, one would store the gold hidden in totes or containers or whatever. But that reveal would be less entertaining.
Congrats Tracee. Marcellus Wallis would be impressed.
I was indeed going for a similar vibe.
Plot twist= that’s only the storage locker she uses for daily expenses. Her actual savings locker is across the hall.
Wouldn’t put it past her.
