APRIL (NOT) MERMAIDS!!!
Okay, real mermaids were a hit, but what if there were NOT mermaids?!?
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the good people who support me on Patreon, with a special shout-out to The Lurker, Paul Gabbard and Jeremy, who ALL became Mayor of Pucksburg for this month. (We can have multiple mayors. It’s a weird town.) It’s a title that comes with rewards, including actual original comic art getting mailed to you. If you’re interested in keeping the Puck comics flowing, and maybe gaining some fun perks, CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Hamilton does not, sadly, have a zoo. There are, however, a number of smaller zoos far out in the countryside. The one alluded to here is situated right along the Chippewa rail trail linking Hamilton with the small town of Caledonia. The big cat enclosure is actually right up against the trail – or used to be. It was a bit of a problem with the lions and tigers jumping at the fence when people went by. And yes, it’s entirely possible for a tiger to get to Gage Park via the trail system and largely avoid civilization. I’ve biked the route. Said tiger might have a few perilous run-ins with joggers, though.
And for those who were wondering about the tiger’s name, we get an answer. Those who know Phoebe’s particular cultural obsessions will not be surprised.
Well they have to keep the tiger fed somehow. Right ?
Well, gotta feed a stylish animal in style, right?
Which explains a bit her ability to live with her father. At least until recently.
You can see his stripes, but you know he’s clean.
Oh don’t you see what I mean?
I do. I do see.
I just watched “A NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY” last week.
Underrated classic.
The gazelle’s gonna miss that haunch.
It’s got three remaining legs.
Haddaway: You’ve got four, why can’t I have one?
Share and share alike.
ya know, for the first time i´m seeing how phoebe is satans daughter….charismatic, able to manipulate the masses (without using her boobs) and a distinct lack of care/callousness. seriously, are we sure that daddy dearest is the right person for the job anymore? why not elevate her budding cult to epic levels instead
Well, I think Phoebe isn’t good for the top evil position. She’s still good. She’s just magnetic.
It is quite a small tiger.
Well, gotta fit it in the frame.
Could be a Sumatran Tiger – the smallest of the tiger species.
Still, it’s a freakin’ TIGER!
Phoebe is one of those who doesn’t set out to be a leader, but ends up as one anyway. Careful, girl!
Pliny the Younger said those were the best leaders.
Why did you change the zoo’s name in the first panel from Killman to Filman?
Well, I didn’t want to imply that the real zoo would be so careless as to lose one of their big cats.
Oh please tell me that when Phoebe communicates with the tiger, she hears him speak with the voice of George Sanders.
All tigers should be droll…
Do tigers speak with any other voice?
