PHOEBRUARY VOTING INCENTIVE! A “NEW” VOTING INCENTIVE EVERY FEW DAYS!
Back in February of 2015, I declared the month ‘Phoebruary’ and ran a retrospective of a bunch of voting incentive images featuring our beloved Phoebe. Well, years have passed, and I’ve got many more images to explore, so get ready! Every few days I’ll pop another Phoebruary image up – now with post-it note commentary! Try not to miss a one!
A VOTE FOR PUCK IS A VOTE FOR PHOEBE!
As for this comic…
I know it might be terrible of me to cut away from the prom plot just when things were getting good, but hey, that’s how narrative works! And Satan really might be onto something here with his paper towel idea. If you’ve never tested the absorbency of a whole roll of paper towels, I suggest you try it. Just use a whole roll to, say, suck up seven gallons of liquid and you too will be amazed!
Well, it seems that he’s got the drooling Trumped, for sure.
It’s a plan.
MIRANDA … Paper Towels are NOT food.
Plenty of fiber, tho.
Idunno; teethers seem to gum whatever’s available.
Miranda needs much more screen time; at present, she’s more or less like an Easter egg, but always adds value to every week’s strip.
I prefer to keep Miranda’s role less dominant, unless there’s some direct stuff that requires a focus on her. I just don’t want the comic to go down the dark path of ‘pets and babies’ that so many newspaper comics went down before. Just trying to keep Austin weird, as it were.
But they melt in your mouth, not in your hands!
Come on Tracee, how can you sleep with Satan and act surprised when he does you wrong?
Also, pretty sure its been another year since I’ve left a comment…
Well, just glad to see you’re still reading! Always love your comments, though. And your observation is remarkably salient, as per usual.
I wouldn’t say she’s surprised so much as pissed – if she really can beat him up, she’s certainly worthy of the title of Queen of Hell.
Puck has already done that before. Satan barely survived that encounter. And Tracee has been shown to possess a rather fearsome penchant for fisticuffs. So … yeah. I’d say she’s worthy of the title.
I totally forgot about the child was with the devil.
And that Miranda is with them too.
I see what you did there.
It’d be easier to deal with in bare skin. Take the dress off, Tracee.
When a dress looks like this, is it ever really on to begin with?
@Robert Nowall
Purrrrrrrr
Releeeeeeent, Tracee, RELEEEEEEENT – put on sweatpants and a teeeeeeee
hm, now thats a difficult decision – get away from the smelly beast right now, and get his balls ripped off later, or stay and learn the hard way that those towels might absorb leakage, but not projectile vomit let alone the stench of doom.
i´m still taking bets how many dresses tracee will ruin during this gig – remember, they didn´t even feed miranda yet! so, wat do you say folks, will we manage to hit double digits?
ISAGN[0] for a pool!
[0] I See a Great Need
Well, knowing Satan, he almost always takes the route that is easiest in the short term. He’s not a long term planner, really.
Talking of dresses, would it be possible for you to create a side gallery of all your dress designs? (Assuming you have the time.)
It would only work time wise if I pulled the images directly from the comics. And even that sounds like a lot of work. So many dresses!
Who knew a toddler’s rampage could be such a fulfilling thing to see? ^_^
I mean, there’s not even much of a rampage here! This kid is NOT a challenge in the big scheme of things. She’s not screaming, she’s not climbing things; they don’t know how good they’ve got it.
I’m not a father but I can also confirm the ability of an entire roll of paper absorbing 7 gallons of liquid (source: had to babysit my niece multiple times).
As for breaking away from the prom plot:
On one hand, I hate you for it.
On the other hand, I figured it was either seeing what Satan and Tracee was up to OR Phoebe freaking out over the fact Daphne wants to fight a blind girl.
…I actually don’t see a loss either way.
Back to the story, already in progress.
TRACEEE can make Satan regret his choice.
Just introduce Miranda to the SNORF COLLECTION.
That’s a cruel and amusing punishment. I second the idea.
[SalemCat]:
I am seeing NO DOWNSIDE AT ALL, here — no matter HOW she chooses to play it!
1)__Threaten him with this, if he doesn’t stay & help her, or
2)__Quietly wait until he’s gone, then turn Miranda loose among the ‘treasures’, & let her go wild.
Either way, if he abandons her, then she will NOT travel this dark path of suffering alone!
She’ll make SURE that she takes him down WITH her!
Miranda seems to be channeling her inner cat in the lsat panel.
@Donald MacDonald
Sometimes I question why I so enjoy tearing up boxes and paper.
But mostly I’m just too busy DOING that.
Tracee’s worse nightmare is about to come true:
ALONE….with a BABY!!! AIEEEE!
:)) :)) :))
It’s a quick shorthand for a fun story concept in a comedy. “What’s a character’s worst nightmare? Yeah, make that happen.”
Come to think of it, is the prom at City Hall? Or somewhere nearby?
Sadly, no. That would be just too much crazy in one place.
If I were there, I’d just head for the supplies which Puck left for Miranda’s care, and just start using them. I mean, it can’t be that difficult, can it?
That would require intelligence, though. And a certain practical edge. Lacking here.
Wow! Tracee looks like a Schnauzer in profile. What gives with that?
Enh, it’s a problem I have sometimes drawing profiles. I’ll see if I can fix it a bit in post because a few people have complained about it.
@EG
see – SEE !
Yes, I am a jerk.
But is not THIS just a tiny bit better ?
A ‘little” bigger and a “little” larger and she would be the goddess TRACEEE deserves to be.
Yes, I am a jerk.
But is not THIS just a tiny bit better ?
A kinder, gentler TRACEEE.
@Joe Fonebone
What do ya think – should I be drawing TRACEEE from now on ?
(no tuna for me this week 🙁 )
TRACEEE – Purrrrrrrr
No. That’s not right. The image in this comic has been already altered.
The issue wasn’t the nose; it was the fact the alignment of the face was off so it looked like a muzzle. That also had the effect of lengthening the nose.
@EG
Yes, Yes … TRACEEE’s nose does look better !
That’s what I can FAN SERVICE.
Purrrrrrr……
why dont they use the greatest power in the world ? Money, Hire a babysitter
Ever tried to find a babysitter at the last minute? Impossible!
with the amount of cash satan has you could find a random person on the street throw some cash at them and they would say yes !. Question is is satan ebil enough to trust some random stranger!
Seems like everyone’s favorite devil is opting for the “lesser of two evils”. lol
Or the greater? I’m not sure which one in this case.
I see you’ve developed a way to have me vote daily instead of a couple times a week. Good on you 🙂
Glad my evil plan worked.
The pile o’ paper towels might almost work if it were redesigned a bit. What about a disposable poncho made of heavy-duty paper towel?
Of course Tracee would still have to risk touching Baby Fluids when swapping a used one for a fresh one. She seems rather squeamish, considering her means of gainful employment.
I’m not sure she really has a means of gainful employment anymore. But I get what you’re saying.
Sigmund and Elizabeth basically raised Phoebe, didn’t they?
Tracee just recently came into money, didn’t she? Anyone less excited about it would have changed into something old and easily washed by now.
She has her reasons. It will come out … eventually.
