PUCK SHIRTS ARE FINALLY GO!!!
If you’ve ever wanted to wear a little bit of Puck, you’re in luck! There’s now an entire line of shirts with all sorts of designs! I’ve also put up many of Daphne’s weird shirt designs. Heck, you can even order yourself a Howlers tank top if you want! People have asked for all of these at one time or another, so I’m finally providing. Check out the selection! All the designs can be placed on multiple colors and styles of shirt, so experiment and go nuts!

ALSO…
NEW WEEKLY VOTING INCENTIVE! THE MONTH OF SWIMSUITEMBER IS UPON US!!!
September is a month that has historically suffered a marked lack of swimwear. Thus, like a modern Robin Hood, I’ve planned to steal from the richness of my pen and give swimsuits to the poorness that is this dreary month. It’s SWIMSUITEMBER, BABY! A NEW ONE EVERY WEEK!
VOTE FOR PUCK ON TWC!!! 10% of every vote goes straight to Elvis – guaranteed!
As for the comic…
Puck appears in the comic that bears her name. What a surprise! I’m having more fun than I rightly should drawing her in that trailer trash outfit. I think it shows. And for the record, the word ‘toots’ really needs to come back into common parlance, along with the words ‘swell’ and ‘piker’.
Puck is all about the sass.
And sassafras. That needs to come back too.
Subtract one letter and they both are.
Oh you!
There’s the one about how “jazz” was first spelled “jass,” till people scratched out the “j”…
Enough to make her a sassassin?
Now you’re getting sassy.
Offpanel somedrunk mutters about the sassy lassies with classy chassies
We can always count on such people to add class to this place. Because it’s so classy to begin with.
That outfit on Phoebe is just so… “Atomic” !!!! it actually improves a certain “Blondie” song… 😛
I really, really want to have an honest side career designing women’s swimwear. Is that wrong of me?
As long as I get to be your assistant.
Sure. This pretend company has an infinite payroll!
In that case let me put in an application, we could learn a few things from Gene Roddenberry in the 1960s.
…you know what I mean?
I’m not sure I do. But I’m all ears.
Who’s going to be the model?
Are you looking to volunteer? We take all types.
I mostly work the other side of the camera as I don’t trust people on my side. It could be some thing to do with the word shoot, but idunno.
Those words need a comic back and how!
A comic back? Like a back that is comical? Or ‘Give me my comic back’?
“I’m bringing Comic Back”…
That was supposed to be read in the voice of Justin Timberlake. oops
That strangely came through loud and clear.
I’d like to talk to the wife like that, but I’d just get my head ripped off!
You can only talk to your wife that way if she’s not your wife, you’re not actually a dude, and the whole thing is just an exercise in hilarious roleplay. Then and only then.
Phoebe’s swimsuit in the voting incentive is kind of scary.
Agreed! I’m good that way.
I would like to see Phoebe wear the same kind of glasses that Clark Kent wears to hide his superhero persona of Superman.
Clark Kent wears the most mundane glasses anyone can. Like if you look up the word ‘glasses’ in an illustrated dictionary, the glasses you see there are the glasses that he wears.
“FWOOOMPH!”
“What was that?”
“Don’t try to change the subject. Ooo, look, a haunted house ride!”
Haunted house rides are fun. But I was thinking more along the lines of ‘roller coaster’ here.
If Phoebe throws up on your version on that kiddie-coaster Scooby-Doo themed “Ghoster Coaster” I think I am going to be be laughing until sometime next week….!
It’s now a Peanuts themed ‘Snoopy’s Ghoster Coaster’ (which makes no real sense), and I’m pretty sure Phoebe wouldn’t be up to that either.
Oh hey, welcome back Puck.
I’m almost curious how she’ll react when she finds out (if she finds out?) what Daphne and Tyler have done.
I quite agree with Phoebe’s remark about Puck being the dude when they argue like an old married couple.
As for ‘having more fun than you rightly should have drawing her in that outfit”… Well, it’s your comic and as long as you find it fun drawing her (even if it’s in unusual clothes), I don’t see a problem with it.
Well, Puck’s going to find out eventually. And it’s bound to be interesting. Especially in that outfit.
There’s a lot more to barf at than just spinning rides in these places. Remember “It’s a Small World After All” in the Disney parks?
(Oh, wait, the Shnorf version of that is on fire, isn’t it?)
The only way I’d go into that ‘Small World After All’ ride would be if it were somehow perpetually on fire. Like a combo of the old ‘Backdraft’ attraction at Universal and the small world.
Warning, this ride is not for people who are pregnant, have the pregnancy assignment in school, or who identify as being pregnant. In addition, those who are young, old, in serious health conditions (not limited to bacon-skin-itis, heart conditions, ego aversions, pulmonary conditions includion oxygen or severe reactions to the lack of, chronic chrones disease, irritable bowel syndrome, dandruff, severe body hair & odor, long hair and stereotypical large ears and/or noses.)
Please keep all arms, hands, legs, feet, glands of all kind, faces within the ride.
No selfie sticks, live ammunition, hot dog sticks, live artillery rounds, marshmallows sticks, voodoo dolls, nuclear weapons, goo goo clusters, kewpie dolls, baby ruth bars are allowed on this ride.
Please leave all effigies with the ride attendant. Cremation services can be arranged with park management for $150 AUS.
Notice, your car must come back with the same number of people that it left with. If not, park management is authorized to send any car into the holding pen for mandatory execution.
You’re hired!
You liked that? I’d be honored if you used it on a slight condition.
A slight condition? That sounds ominous.
I forgot what my condition may or may not have been at this time.
But asides from that, what do you think of Shotgun Shuffle?
I think of Shotgun Shuffle that Shotgun Shuffle is what Puck would be if I could (A) draw better, (B) think cooler, and (C) somehow incorporate even more boobage into my comic.
Now I remember the condition. It’s based off of a joke at shotgun.
Phoebe needs to run across some big buff hulking beefcake of a boy toy who convinces her he can make her forget being scared on these rides only to end up finding out that once the lights go out and the motion starts he starts screaming for his mama and she ends up mothering him and forgets to be sacred herself (I guess that means he actually did what he promised)
This universe seems to be lacking in big buff hulking beefcakes. Not sure why. But even if one showed up, I doubt he’d really hold much interest for Phoebe. Unless he were insanely well-dressed.
I feel like “toots” is coming back around. It’s on Daniel Tiger.
Also, new here. Nice art.
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood? Really? If so, I’d be so very, very happy. And thanks for the thumbs up on the art. I always fear it’s the weakest link in the comic, so if you like it, then I’m doing something right!
Daphne’s shirts are fun and all, but you really need to sell some of Phoebe’s shirts! 😉
That would involve the creation of my own fashion studio. And I think the fact that Phoebe would not be included with the shirt would severely hamper sales.
well, you have the ideas for it.
I doubt you’ve drawn a bad outfit yet (for any of your characters, tho the infant may disagree)
Believe me, my wife would disagree with that one. According to her, I have about a 80% success rate on Puck’s clothes and a 10% success rate on Phoebe’s clothes. She also tells me that if I’m not colorblind, then I’m at least colordumb and have no real ability to match colors at all. She’s probably right. I’m not allowed to dress my children, by the way.
Next year’s the election of the next President of the United States.
Interesting. They have been living together for at least a decade now.
…
Suddenly I found myself wondering whether we’ve been reading a comic which features an oddly subdued variety of the love triangle-theme without realizing it. o_o;
Well, there’s no fun in life if we can’t wonder these things, is there?
Next: Puck “manspaining” it all to Phoebe
BTW, a gecko got into our house. I tried to catch it but it scuttled behind a chair. My boyfriend says it won’t do anything but eat bugs, and if it gets a roach or a cricket we should catch it a lamp bug.
I’ve heard that they’re considered good luck in tropical locations if you have them in the house. I live in a country that doesn’t contain geckos, so they’re really just abstract concepts to me.
Geckos look so fragile, but they turn up to be VERY hardy.
I accidentally stepped on one while playing with my niece (she was 4 years old) and she cried until she saw the thing scamper away.
Ew. That’s kind of disturbing, actually.
I was in Florida a few years ago and my friend had them all over his backyard, but you can’t see them.
You step outside and they scatter – and scare the crap out of you.
It’s like walking up on a bunch of turkeys and they all take flight (only, you can’t see them).
I grew up in Hong Kong, and we’d see geckos (and gecko droppings) in our kitchen occasionally. (This was despite the fact that we lived on the 5th floor of an apartment building. Then again, there was a rooftop garden of sorts a couple floors down on the neighboring building.) Once my mom found one that had crawled into an electrical outlet and fried itself.
See, that seems crazy to me. In the same way that kangaroo crossings are crazy to me. But it’s all your personal normal, I guess. I know enough people from Asia or Australia who come to Canada and are fascinated by the raccoons. And think they’re cute. Then stop thinking they’re cute when a raccoon almost bites their finger off.
True that.
Also, in Florida, people live with alligators in their yards like it ain’t no thang.
Then, again, we do the same with bears.
I’d almost forgotten about the “Pucky Longstocking” look she had going.
I almost forgot too! Which would have been really bad for continuity.
Im curious to see Colins reaction when he see’s his beloved in her trailer-trash outfit and her (little compared to most) muffin-top rolled out for all the world to see. All that plus the park on fire !!! He will definately feel there has been some cosmic shift in his universe, me thinks.
Well, we’re all about cosmic shifts in the universe here. Gotta have something to look forward to.
That radiation symbol will NEVER be the same….
Mission accomplished!
It is an impressive swimsuit, and unlike some of Phoebe’s clothes, it actually looks like it will stay on on its own, and not just because Phoebe wills it to. Well done there.
It is also kind of hilarious that Phoebe is talking about how the bikini was named while wearing what is technically a one-piece, albeit one with many, many holes.
I actually put a teeny bit of thought into making that swimsuit potentially plausible as an actual garment. Not much thought, but a little. And yeah, the irony did hit me, though I’m not sure the laws of common decency really allow this to really be considered a one-piece.
Gecko, hello.
I’ve just recently become addicted to Batmetal. These songs resonate in my brain several times a day. I was thinking of suggesting a Children of Batman t shirt for Daphne. But perhaps a parody shirt with Puck’s face bordered with the phrase, “So strong, my Chutz is.”
I am unfamiliar with Batmetal, but approving of the word. Though in the old comic canon, Batman apparently hated rock music.
I thought that was Crazy Steve that hated rock and roll…
Nah, Crazy Steve hates sanity and sleep. Batman hates rock music.
Crazy Steve and Bearded Idiot, coming to a theater near you! 🙂
Yay, other Linkara’s fans 😀
Now, Imma wait and see either sightings of bees and/or mad science 🙂
Bees. My God.
Is Pucks’ penumbra in the last frame really something to do with Schnorf Mountains’ present condition?
No, just the radiant heat of frustrated redhead.
Ah, fearsome indeed.
I’m a big Superman fan that’s why I suggested having Phoebe wear the same mundane glasses that his mild mannered reporter persona Clark Kent wears.
So long as it’s not “Bearded Idiot” Superman, I don’t think that’d be a problem. For an incentive picture, that is. I doubt it’d make it into a comic itself.
Nothing Frank Miller touches shall ever touch this comic. Guaranteed. I sometimes feel like I’m the only comic fan who solidly dislikes him, but really? Even his gold standard stuff that isn’t insane is … not the best, IMHO. His biggest achievement was reintroducing a dark, brooding element into mainstream comics, and I can celebrate him for that. But I can’t celebrate the drawings. Or the writing.
Nowadays Frank Miller’s stuff is like Seinfeld; most people acknowledge that it was ground-breaking when it came out, but looking at it from today, you wonder: “What was actually good about this again?”
I was going to try to do a Seinfeld impersonation of Jerry riffing on Frank Miller, but I realized that the whole thing doesn’t work in text. Damnit.
“What’s… uh… the deal with this Frank Miller guy? He’s so dark – not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
You did it! You really did it! Hats off, man. Hats off.
I don’t know…but Puck’s trashy pickup truck girl look is kind of a turn-on right about now.
A testament to your female rendering skills I would imagine. Always a silver lining regardless of the aesthetic in your case, EG. 😀
It’s a look that has a certain unrefined charm to it. And as long as I have ‘female rendering skills’, then I have a solid webcomic foundation. There was once a review of Puck done by ‘The Webcomic Police’ that basically said something along the lines of “This comic is total garbage, but the artist can really draw women.” When I read that, I was like, “Whew! At least I’m good at the only thing that matters!”
I’m pretty sure that’s less of a dude thing and more of a human thing. Women can certainly pull off “I know I’m right despite all evidence to the contrary”
Perhaps. Though women tend to be gentler and more diplomatic in their expressions of it.
@EG
Only Canadian Women.
And fustian. That line in Shakespear’s interpreted all wrong.
How should it be interpreted?
Well, according to a half-remembered source I have no access to if something was “Fustian”, it was needlessly convoluted and contrieved. So the line “A fustian riddle” in Twelfth Night might as well be “A Rub Goldberg riddle”.
The line “You’re talking about nothing” in Romeo and Juliet in Shakespear on the Common from a couple of years ago I think was perfectly interpreted because according to the same source, Nothing referred to something that Puck, Phoebe and the other ladies have and Colin will always lack.
Mercutio in that production, by the way, was fantastic! Smoldering, violent and reckless. Exactly the sort of guy who’d get himself killed pointlessly.
