Puck continues to discover more about this new universe that she shall call home. Anyone who has ever had the joy of trying to buy a first home can probably relate to this; when you have nothing to your name, it’s hard to purchase outside of industrial slums.
I like Colin’s expression in panel three. You can just tell he don’t have the heart to crush a gal’s dream.
The diploma in the background, by the by, is an almost identical reproduction of an actual diploma from McMaster. My wife thinks it’s kind of funny that a diploma would be hanging in the bedroom. Where else are you going to put it, though? Over the toilet?
Unintentional or stealth joke? Puck saying “spectacular view” whilst sticking her pert, nightie-clad (and panty-visible) tush more or less at the viewer?
It’s maybetentional. How’s about that?
If Puck had any cleavage to speak of she’d be giving the workers at the steel mill a spectacular view as well.
Well, she does have cleavage to speak of now. A little.
First home purchases… oh yes. My ex-wife and I purchased our first home 500 feet up a hill from a slaughter house….
Hey, at least the beef’s fresh.
Really? Where is it?
where do you put your diploma?
I don’t. It’s in a box somewhere, maybe.
Is her desire for a country home, perhaps, due to nostalgia from her faerie days?
Perhaps. Or maybe because this Puck partially channels my wife’s romanticism with the finer side of country living.
Stelco?
Local steel mill.
That’s what I was asking. Is it that one? I got curious after seeing where someone got dropped off for a visit.
Yep. Stelco would be the primary steel mill in Hamilton. There is a second one, though: the Arcelor-Mittal mill, or ‘Dofasco’ mill.
