CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR PUCK!!! IT SMELLS LIKE ALMONDS ON THE OTHER SIDE!
And as for this comic…
Not many words in this one, but I think it works. Short, sweet and to the point.
Heh, knowing my wife…that wouldn’t have ended well and not nearly as nicely as Puck will deal with it.
That’s frightening. Positively frightening.
when it came to our kids…well. Cross a PO’d wolverine with a honey badger. Now realize neither one of those knows how to use automatic weapons or chemical warfare. (I ply her with coffee, chocolate and chili to keep her happy)
Smart man.
Absolutely. Mine is nearly as good a shot and knows where all the toys are hid.
I got five bucks on a “So when’s the wedding?” comment within the next two strips
It may take four or five strips, but you’ll win this bet, I’d say.
you know this has been bugging me how has puck not been knocked u b4 shes 611some some years old and not very thoughtful she doesnt seem like the type to abstain
It doesn’t really make sense. The best answer I can come up with is that the first six hundred years don’t count. (Did they even exist at all? Who knows?)
First strip: 621 Years old; At best, 8 spent actually having a life. Plus, there was that whole period where they thought she was a boy, so put those two together…
Sometimes life is confusing.
I think it would be more along the lines she simply didn’t travel in the right circles for those 6 centuries +
After all, I can’t imagine Puck being the ‘submissive woman’ type normally accepted by most cultures during those times.
I REALLY don’t think many men of those times would stand her ‘attention’ when the more ‘acceptable’ outlook was so available. The ones who could would most likely be ‘claimed’ early.
Plausible.
maybe but still shed get drunk or someone would get drunk and welll.. my thinking she must of been kept oor by daddy or something hey seaking of pucks daddy ahem………….
Robin could just be lying about her age.
Nawh, women never lie about stuff.
You might be onto something there.
Puck, Run, do not walk, do not pass go, do not collect $200 (US) to the nearest hotel to lavish yourself for the next 18 hours guilt free. You have have just been GRAMMAWED.
Yeah, but mothers cannot accept this as the standard state of affairs and go with it. They have to fight it. And that’s what causes so much suffering.
But she’s been GRAMMAWED
My mom was just like that at the hospital, I had my kid in my arms she arrived, baby had disappeared. Into my Mom’s arms. stayed their until my mom left. Then I was allowed to hold my daughter again. 🙂 It’s Grandma’s Priveliege.
Grandma’s privilege is a Grandma myth, I’d say. Never, ever snatch a baby from a woman, no matter what your relation to the baby!
Considering they snatched baby from her arms, not only without so much as a by-your-leave, but nary a hello as well? Well, I’d be handing out new rectums in short order.
Are they related to Colin?
They sure act clueless enough….
Hi. I’m a complete stranger to you. I’d like to continue to be rude as hell AND take your child (perhaps temporary, perhaps not) right out of your arms, completely ignoring you some more….
This is a comic and Puck’s married to their child, so them getting the shit beat out of them and waking up in an alley won’t happen.
But it should. Perhaps Puck has a better solution.
They are related to Colin, but I’m more tempted to blame their behavior on pure self-interest than bad genetics. They don’t care about Puck; she has no value to them. Why bother exchanging words?
And she’s not even technically married to Colin, which sort of lowers her market value in Colin’s parents’ view, I’d guess.
And Puck will be tempted to – many times – by the time this whole thing is over.
Last time I looked, Puck has a rather low thresh-hold for violence.
Colin, how many pieces would you like your parents in in
5… 4… 3…
Wait till you get the child *back*—tired, cranky, heavily dosed with sugar.
Newborns love Oreos, right?
Well, they *were* headed towards the kitchen…
Reminds me of the Pepsi saga… and how my ex-wife’s father had to be notified in no uncertain terms that Pepsi is NOT a good thing to feed a baby.
I love how Colin’s face goes from “hey, great to see my parents again!” to “…wait, what the hell just happened”? (panels 2-3).
As for how his mother took Miranda… I’m somehow not surprised.
By the way, EG, are we going to learn the names of his parents any time soon?
I’m not sure what his parents’ names are. I’m not sure I’ll come up with any. I tend to skip critical stuff like that.
At least the baby has a name, whatever it was. Aw dang, I know it she has a name.
Something to do with arresting Colin.
Baby’s name is Miranda.
Once again, my attempted joke bombed.
Maybe i should change my avatar’s name to B-17 or B-52.
Blame the audience, not the comedian. I’m clued out at times.
Valkyrie. That way the bomber joke will be missed too.
Hey, at least I got the bomber joke.
I’m not near as bad as one of my friends.
Where he works (and in his home) everybody has learned NOT to say “I’m coming”. His immediate reply is “In Public?”
His daughter absolutely dolts on her dad, but she (when she was 14 years old) once broke two windows in the van trying to brain him with a crowbar.
I’m staying away from your friend.
That was my sister, not mother. She usually saved her own life by promptly asking “Wait, I can take this right? I swear I won’t leave the room.”
It was like some kind of clepto compulsion. After the first few times I just started pointing out daipers and making sure she’d bring the kid back at feeding time.
The desire to snatch babies is very strong for some women. As a male, though, I can safely report that I’ve never felt this overwhelming desire.
Wow…that was funny as hell via the sequence but man, I felt angry for Puck.
Can’t tell about the mother yet but Colin’s dad looks like a real snob to me …that nose & ‘stache.
Well, they’re sort of pleasant but with hidden problems, like most in-laws. Watch ’em!
Sometimes, the difference between ‘in-laws’ and ‘outlaws’ is difficult to see.
Where’s Colin’s sister?
She’s still parking the car on the safe side of the street from the Crack House.
This is the way it is with my kids when we see grandma for sure. This is one of those you can tell was written/drawn by someone with children. Also: Any idea how much the physical Puck is going to cost? I know it’s early but I’m thinking about putting money aside for a second copy for my older brother.
I’m aiming to get the book to retail for around $22.50. That’s my target. I don’t want it to be much above twenty bucks.
I think that they’ll having General Tso’s chicken for supper. He was said to have been a Chinese Geogre Washington because of his military skill.
Possibly.
And that’s funny because George Washington was said to have been the American Napoleon – only he didn’t WANT to be emperor/king/president.
A little bit of historical trivia: There was some talk of making George Washington king.
Just think about it. If we trace GW’s lineage through the oldest son of the oldest son of the oldest son… We will find the man who would have been the King of America.
That’s awesome. You guys totally need a king. It would give people something to be excited about that’s not Hollywood-related.
I had General Tso’s chicken once it was awful.
If my mom is like this when my first kid is born I swear to God and on Satan’s possibly-illegally obtained money that i will probably go COD on her.
Well, a lot of guys tend to be rather hesitant to call their moms on crap. So if you’re ready to fight the good fight, more power to you!
Ply that Papoose with some WHITE CHOCOLATE, Granny !
(how many demographics did I mange to offend right there ?)
All, probably.
Ah, WHITE CHOCOLATE.
Fanny Farmer White Chocolate ALMOND BARK !!
(anyone got a Time Machine I can borrow ?)
Was that a thing? It sounds like a gross thing. White chocolate… Bleah.
Payment for Time Machine: Half the Fanny Farmer White Chocolate Almond Bark I can score.
No takers ?
Plebeians.
‘Betcha a donut Gramma not only watches the young-un, but also cooks dinner, washes the dishes, and folds the laundry to boot !
My Mother-in-Law did. Gawd, I miss her.
This one is not nearly as useful as all that.
