As for this comic…
This is what’s called ‘narrative symmetry’, which is a fancy way of saying ‘Hey, I’m all out of ideas, so why don’t we just use the same stuff twice?’ Enh, it worked for Shakespeare.
Actually, you want to introduce your child to low levels of environmental contaminants. This trains her immune system. If you keep the environment too clean, the child’s immune system will over-react when it gets introduced to common organic substances that are not infectious; that is, developing allergies. An over-simplification, I know, but don’t worry about non-hypoallergenic baby wipes, unless you want the child to have allergies later in life. So long as they are not contaminated with infectious agents, the regular wipes should be fine.
I’m actually with you on that one, but this sort woman loves hypoallergenic everything. It’s one of those ‘talismans of goodness’.
Think of it as a stupid woman that knows little of what she’s talking about talking out her butt and giving bad unsolicited advice. Kinda like Jenny Mcarthy and the whole vaccines cause autism crap.
Yes, yes and yes. Ever notice how all of those female celebrities who fancy themselves ‘life gurus’ are terminally blonde?
Then the men must be dying their hair to be taken seriously. And Jim Carey too. Though he did date Jenny Mcarthy. My hell, stupid is an STD!
So you’re saying … that stupid is as stupid does? (I’m proud of myself for that one.)
Jenny McCarthy – October 1993 – For those who did so much good, much can be forgiven.
And that’s why people are still listening to her.
I’m curious what kind of influence Colin’s parents and sister will have on Miranda when she’s older.
Please tell me Phoebe can open the Gates of Hell…just for a second?
No such luck. Though boy, would that be satisfying!
Phoebe and Heather now meets. I… Am actually curious how this will end.
Also, Phoebe has now said my new favorite line for her (the old one was being “I simply did not expect that” when trying to explain that Puck was pregnant).
New favorite? “It turns out that my dad’s place has been invaded by an evil blonde monster.” I’m gonna proceed and blame the fact that it sounds hilarious coming from her (she doesn’t really strike you as the type to say… Well, THAT).
I am sometimes guilty of putting really good lines into the mouths of characters who likely wouldn’t say those good lines in reality. Oh well. The good lines win out in the end, I guess.
That just means that your characters are organic, not static. Organic characters have personality layers that can surprise you, while static ones do not.
That’s a positive spin on it. And usually lines that people feel are uncharacteristic for a character are seen as ‘too smart’ for the character, but in honesty, I think all of the characters in the comic are quite smart deep down. Well, Satan’s maybe a little stupid, but that’s it.
I’ve long suspected Phoebe’s less intelligent moments are a cover up to keep people underestimating her. Every once in a while we get moments where she shows a steel trap mind like that.
I don’t know whether it’s conscious cover-up or not. I think she just has a personality that can easily be mistaken for a lack of intelligence. She is naive at times, but the processing power is there.
Maybe the overflow can stay at the crack house next door…
There’s always room! It maybe filthy and bug-ridden, but it’s room!
Night of a thousand blondes!
Terrifying or enticing, depending on one’s perspective!
Cooking up some popcorn…
grabbing some nice, cold, ice tea…
finding a nice, comfy couch…
waiting for the FIREWORKS.
They’ll come, those fireworks. They might be not as soon as you’d like, but they’ll come.
Considering as soon as I’d like is “right now”, I suppose you’re right. XD
Well, my ridiculously slow update schedule is about as far removed from ‘right now’ as you can get.
Oh god, Heather and Pheobe meeting….. the world will surely end. Can’t say what exactly about their meeting fills me with dread and horror (and anticipation!), but I have a feeling this won’t end well. For anybody.
It’s definitely not going to end well.
Actually, we must wonder which one will Heather TRIGGER first.
Everybody seems to be looking forward to her comment about Pheobe, but what if she comments about Daphne first?
Spin the wheel!
That is a song. Did you know that, or was it just chance? Coincidentally, if looked at correctly, that song can be vaguely related to this strip.
It’s a song. It’s a game show. It’s a philosophical viewpoint on life. It’s ALL of those things and more!
Something tells me that Little Miss Blondie Smarmy is about to French kiss a chainsaw. Between Daph and Phob, they’ll make short work of this rhymes with witch. Next up, the geezers in the living room who both need to be put down like a fatally injured cocker spaniel.
I dunno. You don’t get that blonde and that rich without being very good at intimidating and cowing your foes. This sort of situation requires more subterfuge than chainsaw…
This is becoming more hilarious.
Good by Mayoral Estate of The Unholy One, hello Hellhole INvaded by IN-laws.
They leave a place with a blonde monster… only to deal with ANOTHER ONE. At least this one isn’t being *&%ed by a “666” with a pentagram tattoo’d around it.
Well, this one’s not sleeping with the devil, but I’m really not sure which blonde here is the greater evil.
Where do you get the ideas for your Puck vote comics?
The ether.
Ah, the other evil blonde Monster. My money”s on Heather in the Heather/Tracee match-up. Hooters doesn’t prepare you for combat like having kids. I hear
Reasonable point, I’d say. Heather’s also a good five or six inches taller. But the small ones are sometimes vicious.
I am six foot, four and 240 lbs. I must agree with the statement that you must fear the smaller ones.
What’s Helena’s line in Midsummer Night’s Dream? “Though she be but little, she is fierce”? I’ve always felt that was pretty accurate.
Hmm…Puck’s hands may be tied at the moment with the snarky comebacks for the sake of trying to keep the peace but it appears that her proxy has arrived in the form of Daphne and Phoebe to quell the coming onslaught which is Colin’s sister…
This should be good…:D
It’s bound to be … something. Not sure whether that something will be good, but I can keep my fingers crossed!
Ahhh… the author’s problem… sometimes, the characters take control and the author is left worrying about the outcome.
Sometimes. Other times I have ideas, but I’m not confident in them.
How about a Puck vote comic showing Brainiac removing Kandor from Krypton which prevented the deaths of it’s citizens in the blowup.
No matter where you go, girls, there you are… and things appear the same all over until you go somewhere you’re not. 😉
Think on that for a bit.
Deep, man. DEEP.
Congratulations. You are an undisputed master of depicting severely obnoxious characters.
