NEW YEAR! NEW INCENTIVE! NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS!!!
Time to turn over a new leaf and come up with some New Year’s resolutions!
VOTE FOR A NEW YEAR, NEW YOU!!!
As for this comic…
Hey look, it’s a new comic. Let’s see if the website doesn’t crash this week, or get actively deleted by hackers, or experience DNS conflicts, or some other entirely new way to make it disappear! Every week brings a new, fresh horror for me! What fun!
I’m trying to keep things going, but the past few months have been a struggle. If the site goes down, coincidentally, and you’re wondering what’s going on, I’ll try to post a public update on my Patreon page that everyone can view, just to provide an explanation. I’d say “I’ll post it to my socials,” but no one really follows me on those.
Anyway, we’re operating one day at a time here. One comic at a time. The universe is conspiring to stop me here, but I keep fighting back.
We love the comic. We love you. We are willing to wait for updates and repairs as needed.
Well, I thank you for the vote of confidence. I don’t share the confidence, but yours does give me strength.
Hear hear!
Same here! This is a delightful webtoon that I look forward to every week, and I hope your server doesn’t go all Emily-Dickinson-was-not-appreciated-until-after-she-died.
Maybe this would make a series on Netflix? Hallmark?
But Emily Dickinson stuffed her poems into her mattress and hid from the world. I’ve paid for ads and splashed myself across the Internet in a desperate attempt for attention. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll suddenly be appreciated for anything.
But a Hallmark series? That’s fascinatingly horrible. What a terrible idea. That should happen.
Can’t make the pizza explode? That’s quitter talk!
Also, take your time. If I can wait for Winds of Winter, I can wait for anything.
Exploding pizza? Is that what it is when the food itself is lactose intolerant? Or does it just have Norwalk?
Kaboom.
Not sure that Winds of Winter is ever gonna happen, sadly.
Then immortality is assured. Depends on the spirit of that curse, and not just the letter.
Exactly! I’m sure it can be done. You just need to use the recipe for dwarf bread for base and then throw it fast enough, say, 0.3c?
Alternatively, throw it normally but get creative with toppings.
C4 pepperoni.
It helps if you can enrich the crust with a enough neutrons so it becomes an alpha particle emitter.
You are obviously experienced at this.
Gecko, for once in a long while can I reference Strange Brew while speaking the truth.
I didn’t do it.
Don’t look at me, it was the chair, eh?
A cult Canadian classic. Which means only about five people in the world will get the ref.
Bob broke your beer !!!
That’s about the only thing I remember from it off the top of my head 🙂
I remember the dog that flies away.
“You can have all the beer and sausages you can eat.”
I have to say, I just looked at the incentive and wow, someone needs to mow the lawn there, far too much tall grass.
Serious tick threat there. Not a good idea.
Maybe it’s one of those folding couch beds and Phoebe’s rolled up inside it.
If Phoebe is still stuck at the park, then I would be surprised to see her sleep on a park bench like the old gag goes.
Nah she’s in the house. She was there two comics ago. Although maybe she’s left now…
She’s close. Answers are forthcoming next strip.
Hey, park benches are a great old-fashioned homeless joke. Though homeless jokes have fallen out of fashion. Maybe it has something to do with those giant crowds of homeless people downtown.
Funny how they never showed up until sockboy needed a crisis to get in front of…
Perhaps she’s gone to deal with the Cabal. Her and Papa Shnorf.
If only.
That IS the couch she caught freckles from that one time.
Nice use of sarcasm.
Yeah, that couch has a history.
Wow, Daphne is showing some high quality compassion for Phoebe and for trying to get Puck to wake up. Color me impressed.
She is growing. Two steps forward, one step back. But it’s progress.
Well now. Suddenly I’m not so concerned about the karmic justice that may soon be meted upon Puck as this “Full House” scenario eventually, and comically, devolves.
We care. But don’t care enough to not delight in their agony.
It just occurred to me that Daphne is playing Puck’s conscience.
Nope, that’s not a recipe for ultimate disaster. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Indeed. The blind leading the blinder.
Part of me is annoyed but not surprised at Puck for being so unsympathetic; part of me is anticipating Phoebe coming up with some amazingly creative solution. I don’t see how she could fit those long, long legs comfortably on that couch, but she’s accomplished miracles before with her sewing talents. Perhaps she’ll invent the Davenport Sleeping Hoodie and make enough money to re-home her daddy?
You are anticipating more creativity than will likely occur. But anticipation is most of the fun.
You can try to face the Karen but you can’t make her not rage.
Hey….Puck facing a Karen in the wild….how’s THAT for an idea?
Yeah, that is a good idea. We sorta had that with Colin’s sister. Though she was a Heather, not a Karen.
So a “Heather” is like a “Karen”, but with enough money (that she may not have earned) that her massive sense of entitlement is almostjustified? (Not that that makes her any more tolerable in person.)
That is a good definition.
You are appreciated!!!
Well, that is reassuring to hear.
She tries so hard… to not try hard?
Yeah… I’ve known people like that. Put so much time and effort into avoiding labour/work/effort/regular employment, that at some point it would have been less time and effort to just do the work. Lot of people who will spend longer arguing about how to save the time, then the time that would have been saved.
That’s many students I teach. Source essays from previous students, rewrite, put through AI rewording, check for errors. It’s hours of labor to not write an essay that would have taken about as much time. And maybe the mark is better, but it’s probably not.
Frustrating
Sincerely, I don’t blame Daphne for her sarcasm this time. IMO, it’s perfectly appropriate for this situation. You go, girl!
She uses her sarcasm for the common good.
