NEW VOTING INCENTIVE!!! FIGHTING GAME COSPLAY!!!
Have you ever wanted to see some of the Puck cast dressed as characters from fighting games? NO? Well, someone did! Which is why you’re seeing this! Patrons on Patreon who pledge $5 or more a month get a personal say in what incentives are coming your way! If YOU want to put your two cents in, then my HEAD ON OVER TO PATREON and join the select club!
Also…
That’s right. New pinup on Patreon only! As a thanks for my amazing supporters over there. Giant cheesecake-flavored thanks, you fine people you!
As for this comic…
I only ever dealt with babies who had their own room. I consider babies having their own rooms, preferably one room per child, to be not only the optimal but the ONLY way to have a child. That said, there are some people (like Puck and Colin) who, due to lack of space, must place a crib in their own room.
But there are others – strange individuals – who have oodles of space and yet choose to have their child sleep in their bedroom, or even in their very bed. I’ve heard their reasonings. I’ve heard their logic. I’ve heard what they say about bonding and such. And I have just one word for them:
No.
Does anyone wonder if their next visit should be to their first love doctor? You know the guy who Puck punched out.
PHPPPTFPPT indeed.

GECKO, two has hijacking advertisements. I just got jacked.
TWC, I mean.
Yeah, weird stuff is going on with TWC. It’s a problem, and it means that my traffic is down because of their nonsense.
Chrome straight-up blocks access to ALL webcomics through TWC right now. Not good.
But but, if no one can reach any Web Comic, then no one will get a virus from any Web Comic.
THE SYSTEM WORKS !
Not funny cat.
People thinking that they’re doing something as safe as clucking on a link are getting themselves set up for a possible hijack. And that not only reflects on TWC but also on the Web comics that attempt to gain popularity through croudsorcing on TWC.
Not only that, but the advertising company that can’t filter out the attack ads is also going to look like crap as well.
The only jerks that make anything out of this are the unscrupulous bastards who pull this crap off in the first place.

I wonder if Puck has ever read Bram Stoker’s Dracula or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Depends on the courses she took in college…
@Greg White
I wonder if Puck has ever
readDATED Bram Stoker’s Dracula or Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.If you thought BABIES were bad about sleeping through the night… Puck, may we humbly introduce you to TODDLERS
The. WORST.
Because, you see, babies… babies are limited. They can’t escape. They’re imprisoned in their little cells. They shriek – they scream – you feed them once an hour/two times an hour and pace a bunch and hope to God that they’ll get older.
Then they DO get older… they can escape. They can move. THEY CAN RUN!!!! They can take a nap an hour before bed time and suddenly they’re up for sixteen hours straight!!!
-thunder clap-
And there’s NOTHING you can do to stop it!!!! -evil laughter-
Stop! You’re giving people nightmares!
She’s watching you, guys.
Like some creepy marionette.
Noticing a decided lack of Noob Saibot in the voting incentive there …
Like I said, we could go on…
Can you imagine Colin as Johnny Cage and Puck as like a redhaired Sonya Blade? Ooooo…have the cast at Hallowe’en dress as characters. I think I could see Colin dressed as James Bond…or maybe a gender swap of the charaxters. Yes I’m a little messed in the head.
She may have been, but then the cute little imp heard Mommy talking and….. well. ^_^
The fiend!
The *adorable* fiend!
Aren’t adorable fiends called incubi and succubi? Doesn’t sound like Miranda
Those aren’t adorable so much as hot. And I will sic my LAND PIRANHAS on anyone who says Miranda isn’t cute!
Miranda is cute … Cute …. CUTE !!!
(I’m taking no chances. I’ve seen first-hand what those Fish are capable of !)
“But there are others – strange individuals – who have oodles of space and yet choose to have their child sleep in their bedroom.”
Say hello to my parents.
For reasons unknown to me, when I was a baby, my crib was in their room. Despite the house we lived in having a bunch of extra space.
Never did figure out the reasoning why…
Also, I have to agree that if your lights are on and you’re talking, don’t get surprised your kid wakes up. If you have to talk, go ahead and do so in another room.
Kids are loud.
You’ll hear if she’s awake.
I understand (sort of) when the kid’s really little, because some want to eat every two or three hours. And some breastfed kids it’s every hour, and so it’s convenient for the kid to be right there. But that convenience ends up leading to inconvenience in short order.
Maybe the parents just don’t want the baby too far away from them, like a baby monitor isn’t enough…
It’s worth keeping in mind that Puck is very old.
Back in mediëval times, and even before then, it was perfectly normal for whole families to sleep in one room; it saved on heating and was safer with an eye to nocturnal predators and other threats.
Also, there’s the instinct to keep the little vulnerable ones close. Just in case.
Pizza, Ice Cream, PRIVACY; our Forebears knew not of such things !
Extended families all lived under the same roof. Often several families.
Walls were unknown, curtains a luxury.
As a result, couplings were, of necessity, quick, quiet, and accomplished within the cover of darkness and a blanket.
My advice to Robin: SHUT UP & GIT DOWN !!
Our ancestors also used to spend hours picking the bugs out of each other’s hair and eating them. So your sell doesn’t work for me.
@EG
Bugs, Grass, Tender Baby Mousies, yummm.
I think they mostly did it behind trees, or later, in bales of hay.
@Buggle
In the middle of Winter ?
Back to the Future – why haven’t our favorite couple been taking advantage of the Back Seat of their Car ?
No doubt the conception of Miranda is why they’ll never do it there again…
That’s a factor…
@Buggle
Talk about LOW LIBIDO !
Is it any wonder Fairies are basically EXTINCT ?
Any real human would never let things progress to this point.
Believe me, I know. No one ever thinks THE CAT is Watching !
there´s a word for kids sleeping in the parents bedroom – c#$%block. worse then nosy little siblings and mothers together. seriously, unless they store their poop machine with daph for the night, the nookie coaster won´t start. again.
I think Daphne would have a thing or three to say about that.
Ah, remembering the old days, when Daphne was the c#$%blocker… They also had much wilder times together.
Things get boring. Heck, even if things get boring, it’s more exciting than things getting nonexistent.
@Buggle
The Kat is Konfuzed.
Are you referring to a Male Chicken ?
It’s the old saying: sex is like money, if if it’s bad it’s good.
The Patreon incentive is great, thanks EG
Glad you like!
I don’t get people who put the crib in their own bedroom. I just don’t…I have two. NEVER had a crib in the same room as where I slept. And after a bit of rolled up newspaper they learned to knock on the bedroom door before they could walk. 😉

Old school. I LIKE IT.
*adds another reason to not have kids* My bf says he and his ex left W’s crib in their bedroom for the first couple of months. No sex, but he slept all night.
Well, in the first few months, sleep is the only thing you want. All other needs reduce in importance significantly. It’s at about the one year mark that you start to realize all that which you’ve sacrificed.
Is that Puck’s degree on the far wall?
It is. I don’t know why it’s in the bedroom.
WOW !
I zoomed in on Robin’s Diploma and it has been entirely drawn with actual characters.
No “Comic” pretend-words at all.
I always really generate the documents. I never take the cheap way out!
McNiven University of McAlister University? How come so many Canadian colleges are Irish?
Much of Canada was founded by Scots and Irish running away from poverty on their crummy, overpopulated islands. Then some of them got rich and founded universities. I guess.
Would’a thought the bathroom might be a more appropriate place.
I see they got rid of the change table…
Not sure they ever had one…
What’s a CHANGE TABLE ?
*waves hand wildly* IknowIknow! It’s a concave plastic thingie where they put the little darlings so they can remove diaper, cleanse, replace diaper, then hose down the thingie. I know, cause I saw it when I helped my bf clean out his garage. I was dumb enough to ask He described it in gruesome detail.
OH! So if they ever had one, they might not have gotten rid of it yet…
Ewww
Think for a moment about the a alternatives to using a change table, SalemCat…
The bed?
The couch?
The coffee table?
The floor?
Shall I continue?
@DLKmusic
I’m beginning to believe this new arc will be entitled THE DRY SPELL.
Correction:
Missing a ninja or two in the vote incentive, I think.
Well, I did say that I could go on…
By the way… that “Correction:” wasn’t meant to be correcting you, but rather the original comment where I screwed up the links. Stupid HTML. (Actually, you probably caught that, while readers couldn’t.)
And on.
Even that is still short at least two ninjas.
Well, making certain you are able to care for it by not being pregnant again is kind of a survival trait for babies! To bad they do not know about conctraceptives yet.
True enough.
“Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal” addressed the topic this week: http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/sex-when-you-have-children
@rewinn
Very Interesting
Fortunately my human pets have never had that issue. And I watch, so I know.
Maybe it’s the BEER, or maybe it’s just that JANET is just so good-looking.
That BALDIE is one Lucky Man !
Been there. Done that.
Moved him to his own bedroom the next weekend.
@BPFH
A Simple and Practical Solution, for those genuinely interested in a Solution.
Something tells me Robin is generally content with the Status Quo, as it provides a convenient excuse.
Even better, don’t get the gf preggers and let her nag you to spend more time with your son. My method, as I’m sure you have guessed.
Miranda’s a boy?
No, her boyfriend’s a father.
That’s right. Colin, get out!
Oh yeah…all too familiar with that. Babies are the original blockers so to speak…. Teething phase can really set you back 🙁
They tend to wreak havoc in all sorts of awful ways, don’t they? Little monsters.
Just the discussion of possibly thinking about maybe considering having sex will awaken every baby within 1/2 mile (1 km) of you, even if you aren’t a parent. LOL.
That sounds like something that needs to be studied by science.
Wow! You understood all that? Explain it to me. LOL.
There’s a reason me and my brother never woke our parents up for a feeding.
Wait, there’s an inconsistancy there. Man, I should have asked more questions. I would make a bad investigative reporter.
Your lore is muddled.
