It’s all in the book!

As for this comic…
Just wanted to check in on Sigmund for one strip. Not that anyone really cares about him, but it’s nice to know he’s not suffering.
Next week will likely mark the return of Puck to her own comic, which I know has been a long time coming. (95% chance of Puck! 5% chance that I come up with a funnier idea between then and now that doesn’t include Puck!)
How about a gender bender Puck vote comic in which the genders of Puck and company are switched with each other.
That sounds … not like fun. I, for one, do not want to see male versions of the female cast.
But that’s part of the fun!
THE FUN is taking male characters and turning them into cute girls. The other way around sounds … not like fun. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but I’m not a big fan of drawing guys. They’re only in the comic when they absolutely have to be.
I agree with you wholeheartedly about the “not fun” of a “gender-bender” comic. Seeing Puck, Phoebe, and Daphne as men? Ew. Seeing Colin and Satan as women? Double ew. Stick to your guns, EG!
Okay, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who fails to see the entertainment value in this. And yeah, who actively wants to see Colin and Satan (and Sigmund?) as women? The whole concept just … no.
I’m of the same mind when it comes to that stuff- cute girl versions… okay. Guy versions of girls, not so much. That said, I can’t imagine a feminine version of Colin. Probably for good reason.
I think the beard would be an insurmountable problem.
Wasn’t there a movie called “Satan Was a Lady?”
Gender Benders ? Ewwwww !
Though Satan WAS wearing a SKIRT in #221.
Gecko insists they were just badly-drawn Khakis, but he’s a Pro. So I ain’t buyin’ it.
Badly-Drawn hasn’t been in his toolbox since, since #…, well, a lonnnng time. (whew)
So Gender-Bender ? No. Tried and Failed.
Oh, if only ‘badly drawn’ were not in my toolbox. If only…
I find the archaic definition of “foment” more funny than the modern one in this instance; bathe (a part of the body) with warm or medicated lotions.
Which gives an interesting visualization when you consider the final panel. 🙂
Well, that works better than I could have imagined!
Wait, Sigmund’s back and it’s only recently we saw Tony again?
…
*Tears of joy*
Sigmund is at least, y’know, LOYAL. Despite the fact I STILL think he’s a damn robot of some kind.
I’m onto you, EG!
He may well be a robot. And I had to carefully choose my wording on this strip. In the first draft, Sigmund said that Tracee’s presence made his video surveillance duties ‘entertaining’, but then I thought that sounded way too human. If it works for Commander Data, then I know that it works for Sigmund!
No long road-trip?
Nah, they’re only fifteen minutes away from Puck’s house. And I think the readership would collectively revolt if I spent another few months on a Phoebe/Daphne road trip. Though I must admit, it has comedic potential…
Hang in there, Sigmund. They’re *both* going to need a first-rate lackey and yes-man…
True enough! Good quality lackeying never goes out of style!
I sense a top ranking reality tv show in the works.
I don’t think it would be sordid enough for reality TV. You have to go sleazier than Satan’s bedroom to gain an audience in the cutthroat world of cable.
The Lounge had a gender bender strip.
Bionic Puck would be awesome as a vote comic.The Six Million Dollar Fairy.
You might be onto something…
Shortly followed by Colin in a tutu and heavy makeup; the $6.95 dollar fairy. ^_^
Overpriced, in my opinion.
Ahh, being a “company man” does have its benefits afterall… 😉
Fleeting, creepy benefits, but benefits nonetheless.
Gentlemen we can rebuild her we have the technology we have the ability to make the world’s 1st bionic fairy Puck will be that fairy better faster stronger.
Life 101.
Just because you have a strong opinion does not obligate anyone else to share it.
That never seems to stop people from having that expectation, though.
I like the new t-shirt design. I can’t help but think it is an Indiana Jones reference, though I am willing to be wrong on this point.
Paul Frank meets the Temple of Doom. I thought it was brilliant, though I too frequently think that of my worst jokes.
Ever noticed how often there’s blonde and brunette pairings? There’s Linka and Gi in Captain Planet Betty and Veronica in Archie comics Francine and Kachoo in Stangers in Paradise Buffy and Faith in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel.
It’s iconic. And it’s important for visual differentiation, especially in a drawn medium. I mean, swap Betty and Veronica’s hair and they’re the same dang character. I try to make Puck and Phoebe look different enough, but it’s always a challenge.
Wait a minute. Are you telling me the daughter of Satan drives a Nissan Sentra?
A 2012 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V, I believe. With an aftermarket spoiler.
So does that mean Phoebe’s a speed demon? XD
You can take the credit for that one. Classic.
Kal-El which is Superman’s Kryptonian name means Star-Child Le-Lak is Kal-El backwards.
Star Child? You mean Ace Frehley is Superman?
Of course. Didn’t you know that?
“Surveillance Duty” never Sounded So Sweet….
(that’s a Triple S – granted, fairly easy)
Hey, it’s a job.
“DDS Girl”? So, Phoebe is advertising that she is a female dentist?
I know what you meant, I just couldn’t resist, sorry!
That’s the problem with vanity plates though, you have to consider all the ways they can be misinterpreted. I’ve seen some pretty hilarious results that I’m 95% sure were unintended.
That’s half the fun of vanity license plates!
