ALSO…
I RAN OUT OF TIME TO DO A NEW ONE!!!
I was planning something stupid with Papa Shnorf in a thong or something equally dumb, but guess what? That scarring visual will just have to go unrealized, because school’s started back up and I’m running out of time to do stupid pictures of Papa Shnorf in a thong. So the Phoebe one’s still up.
VOTE FOR PUCK ON TWC!!! 10% of every vote goes straight to Elvis – guaranteed!
As for the comic…
There are two super-enormous super coasters at the real world equivalent of Canada’s Funderland. One is ‘The Behemoth’ and the other is ‘The Leviathan’. I sort of merged the two to form ‘The Monstrosity’, which I’m sure is the name of a real coaster somewhere, but I didn’t bother to look it up. I just thought it sounded right.
The Leviathan is, by the way, 306 feet tall. And smooth as butter. Seriously, it’s one of the most pleasant and comfortable coasters I’ve ever been on. I’d recommend it to everyone but Phoebe.
Did the height of the first hill or the steepness of the 75/80 degree drop do a number on poor Phoebe this time ?
Maybe the Shnorf Village attraction would be more to Phoebe’s speed, it should easy to spot, will all that thick, black smoke coming from it by now…
Yes. Sadly, the only ride that Phoebe could probably manage is now currently the most harrowing ride in the park!
Gosh, what a “coincidence”. 😉
Heh, I was going to say something to that effect. And that Colin would be plaged to the security office.
On family feud, they say “good answer” quite often (even sarcastically, at times).
I think it fits Phoebe’s response here.
“good aim” comes to mind, too.
She has impeccable aim, doesn’t she?
The stomach sensed incoming pain and torture, so it sent a warning shot.
You know how it works. Smart, that stomach.
I’m almost disappointed in the lack of a Papa Schnorf in a thong, but there’s nothing to do about it. I don’t mind.
I hate rollercoasters. I don’t know why, I just can’t seem to ride them.
Admittingly, I haven’t PUKED from merely seeing one (though it’s been close after riding one).
A quick search for The Monstrosity rollercoaster yielded results from some game (not sure which, to be honest).
So I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s no such rollercoaster in real life. Awesome.
I love roller coasters. With a passion. I could easily be the type of person who travels the world just to go on all the good roller coasters. But there are those people, like you and Phoebe, who do not. And I struggle with Puck’s issue here where I honestly have a hard time comprehending how you can’t love the experience. I chalk it up to the roller coaster gene.
And hey! I came up with an original name for a coaster! Wow!
The Leviathan is in the real Canada’s Wonderland (and over the parking lot), but painted pale green instead of Yellow. Maybe that’s to hide the puke when somebody hurls. If that is too big for you, you could try Behemoth.
Maybe the Splash Works in the north-west corner of the park will quell Phoebe’s stomach; just stay away from the Typhoon and Black Hole rides.
Too bad she didn’t bring her swimsuit. That would have been fun.
Well, there is always “White Water Canyon” and similar raft rides to wash off barf off someone’s feet… and a soaking wet Phoebe might be suitable vengeance on Puck’s part…
Went on that one with my parents and my two kids this summer. We all got through it without getting the least bit wet, except my son, who got totally drenched. He took it well. It’s a fickle mistress, that ride.
doesn’t need the swimsuit (or any clothing) to get wet.
True dat.
The ‘Mahn’strosity! [if it were designed by me]
No, they have one of those in Minnesota.
I just popped my Mahn-ocle!
Road trip!
That’s a pretty good tail on Phoebe. And the thing hanging out of her butt looks good, too.
Well, I resent the concept (frequently expressed) that this comic is ‘all about boobs’. It’s just that it’s a strip comic, and framing means that I’m often showing the upper halves of characters. This comic is also about butts. We just don’t see them as often.
Either way: my 2nd thought when I saw that suit is that nuclear explosions are created by slamming together two shiny hemispheres.
That suit threatens critical mass, fore and aft.
That’s quantum physics for you!
I thought I said something this morning—but then not only was it foul, my WiFi had an epic fail this morning and it’s been on-and-off since. Either way, I could’a put it better.
This is the 2nd time Phoebe has puked on Puck.
Which leads to the natural question: How is there still anything left in her stomach to throw up again?
We’ll get to that eventually.
I notice that the guy in panel 3 is gone in panel 4. Not sure whether it was the impending rage of Puck or the smell of Phoebe’s puke that chased him away, but the look on his face is great.
Also, I think most of your readership is glad to ogle at Phoebe in a bikini for another week. Personally, it doesn’t matter, but a lot of people are probably happy.
Yeah, I didn’t want to draw him twice, and I thought it was funnier if he just scrammed after panel three. And you’re probably right on the voting incentive front. But maybe I should take Phoebe down and put up some wild stick figure thong. That’d be cool.
Why not show us Daphne in a swimsuit?
Well, she’s fifteen. I’m not against putting her in a swimsuit within the context of the comic, when it makes sense (and she was in a swimsuit for a while during the poolside scenes at Satan’s house), but within the cheesecakey framework of this voting incentive, I’d feel uncomfortable with it.
The possibility occurs to me that Phoebe’s stomach is not so much empathic, as it is aware who is to blame for all of its recent discomfort – and has a very accurate aim. :p
You mean ‘vindictive’ would be the better word?
Hey, Phoebe’s part devil. There has to be evil somewhere inside of het; it was just a different place than we might have expected. 😉
Now Puck needs to get new shoes.
Nice perspective on that coaster!
If anyone saw the top half of that panel . . . 🙂
I feel fairly safe in saying that properly executed uses of three-point perspective are the only reason that people read this comic. I’m sure you’d agree.
God, with her aim, Phoebe would have been awesome at that old Shooting Galley at Maple Leaf Village…. or better still, the Automatic BB gun shooting galleys at the CNE! Might be able to bag a Giant stuffed animal with the first try… !
I miss those old BB gun games. They were vintage cool. I guess they’re illegal now. What a shame.
Illegal?!
Man! Canada doesn’t let anyone have any fun.
Down(over) here we upgraded to 50mm cannons for those games.
Why does that not surprise me?
I initially read Puck’s 4th panel like as “You barf IN my shoe?”
I’m sure some of the barf permeated into the shoe via osmosis.
You mean diffusion, because osmosis is diffusion of water.
Maybe. Or maybe I meant Osmosis Jones, the great animated film! GREAT, I SAY!
Is there a train that goes around the whole park? Would she geg sick on that because its in the park? Is it a location/puke thing?
There’s no train. The place sort of has an aversion to calm.
Poor Phoeebs. I hate amusement park rides, too
I dreamed about Puck last night. No, not that kind of a dream. :p I was telling her this hilarious joke, but then Daphne stepped on the punchline. Rats
That dream sounds oddly believable given the characters involved. Are you sure you don’t dream in webcomic canon? You might have magical powers.
Ugh, I’m having flashbacks to the only time I actually rode a real roller coaster; the unwanted adrenaline rush…managing to barely get through the ride without total panic…the weak knee adrenaline crash…not fun. Sorta glad I now qualify for the “heart condition” disqualifications.
Heart condition? Pooh! You’re never too heart conditiony for fun! And fun is most definitely strapping yourself onto a glorified mine cart and hurtling at 100+ miles per hour down a crazy track designed by lunatics.
Is for me, anyway.
Flight school ruined roller coasters for me.
Climb up to 5,000ft. Bring the nose up until the wings stall and spiral down toward the ground at 125mph before you can pull out of it…
Kind of ruins any rush when you can see the track and where you are going to go.
Hmm. I could have been a professional coaster tester, since I could report the technical aspects with clarity.
See, flying? Right there you got me beat on the thrills experience. I’d never get behind the yoke of a plane. Ever.
well, MY favorite hobby is hang-gliding. That’s gliding under a stretch of canvas 2500-3000 ft up without a parachute.
Of course, my mom once said my hobby was collecting hobbies.
You live life to the fullest. I, on the other hand, live life to the safest. I don’t hang-glide. Especially after playing California Games.
Pish-posh.
Flying is just like driving a car… except you can’t see the road… and you can’t pull over… and it’s easier to get lost.
Val; that’s what got me into flying in the first place. Collecting hobbies.
And, so it’s “hang” gliding?
I always thought it was “hand” gliding, for some reason. Probably because you’re only up there by the grace of the hand of Zeus.
I prefer Tang-gliding, where you glide on over to the kitchen and pour yourself a tall, refreshing glass of Tang.
when hang-gliding, you all in almost total control of where you’re going without the rackus of a noisy motor.
hang-gliding fells just like swimming underwater.
you also don’t have the water pressure or have to worry about drowning.
My dad, who was in the Air Force, discouraged me from joining the military, because he noted that I “could do the jobs, but you’d hate it.” I’m too much of an individualist.
He flew cargo planes and B-52’s, fyi.
Nice.
I’ve always wanted to fly a DC-3.
I don’t know why, but I just love the style. Plus, I love older stuff (cars, planes, etc)
I’ve never yakk’ed but I don’t blame her…I just cannot do rollercoasters. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve taken that plunge.
I just don’t have that sense of adrenaline to endure the brief torture. And I HATE that “stomach in my throat” feeling. 🙁
I find it funny that the general reaction to this comic is people relating wholeheartedly to Phoebe. I thought everyone would be baffled by her terror, but it turns out that there were WAY more anti-coaster people in the world than I thought.
My wife is like Phoebe. She cannot deal with any form of roller coaster. I came from a roller coaster family, though, and both my kids inherited the roller coaster gene. So my parents and I take my kids, and we go on every coaster imaginable. Fun times! For some.
Awww, c’mon Pheebs, it’s just a wittle woller coaster; nothing to blow chunks about. You just get in it like this and it goes up like this and then it …YEEEE! … YEEEE! … YEEEE! … Blarggh!
It really is easy, isn’t it?
Maybe Puck should give up on the rollar coasters and take Phoebe on the less extreme rides that only leave you upside down at some point like Nightmare, Jet Scream or the old Zipper rides at places like the CNE…
Sorry, I am felling particularly evil this weekend…
I never was allowed to go on any rides at the CNE. Too expensive, my mom would tell me. I think she was just afraid of the shady carny types that ran them.
And how come Puck has not yet been yanked by the Park Staff who have mistaken her as one of their actors for their world-famous “Trailer Trash” comedy show? :p
She’s not TV trailer trash enough. No tattoos, no missing teeth, no visible scars.
Phoebe is wise! She understands it is smart to do the most unpleasant tasks first. That way they are done with ASAP!
Well, I think more barf is on the way later. So that strategy might not actually work.
ooh behemoth wannabe! never actually ridden that thing, tried the Leviathan though, fun after that steep drop.
This coaster is more of a Leviathan with Behemoth coloration. It’s a blend of the two, but the design (like the restraints and the height of the hill) are all inspired by the Leviathan. The Leviathan, to be clear, is my favorite roller coaster. Butter smooth and magical. Just talking about it right now during pandemic times makes me sad because of the fact that I know I’m not going to get to ride it this year.
The new Yukon Striker, by the way, is only okay. It’s no Leviathan.
I have yet to try it. tho that straight vertical drop makes me nervous. Leviathan’s drop was one thing…
The drop is shorter, though. It felt less extreme, honestly. But that’s just me.
TRACEEE is MY “Thing”, alright !
