NEW VOTING INCENTIVE UP! APRIL SHOWERS BRING … FULL FRONTAL NUDITY!!!
It’s April, and that means another Puck voting incentive on TWC! This time we’re going whole hog! It’s all coming off, with Tracee! She’s evil, she’s hot, and she’s getting clean! Seriously, how has this chick NOT gotten her own voting incentive yet?
I had some troubles uploading this image to TWC, but I think I’ve got them fixed now.
As for the comic…
My wife really liked this one. “It’s so true,” she said. “I’m sorry, but it is.” Which is why I put it in the comic. Because no one knows idiot men like an idiot man!
The ‘silently stewing rage’ shot of Puck in panel two is, I believe, the scariest image I’ve ever drawn of her. Something about an angry pregnant redhead is just insanely terrifying for me.
Vote for Puck on TWC and celebrate all that March has to offer … by celebrating all that Phoebe has to offer! Shameless as usual!!!
This particular voting incentive is no longer up on TWC, but you can GET IT AT THE STORE, along with all the other incentives, for a few bucks!
Hey Puck, bet you’ll be happy to push that kid out in 20 strips!
Yeah, it’ll actually be a stretch to get the kid out in a mere 20 strips. But it’s a challenge that I’m happy to aim for! Huzzah!
20X6! Man, I miss Homestar Runner!
Me too, friend. Me too. I cannot describe the hole in my heart that was left by the untimely end of Homestar. I still periodically visit the site … hoping … waiting …
Matt and Mike were back for a second back in April.
They put up a couple new comics and now have a link to their youtube next to the sbemail.
TTRROOOGGGGDOOOOORRRR!!!
I really, really wish they would come BACK back. Like, seriously back. But all they do is tease.
If someone else hadn’t said that, I would have. Although, I hate to admit that it took to the end of the week to notice Daph’s shirt. I’m more akin to Phoebe’s shirts; they just “pop”. 🙂
Well, I try to make sure to include shirts with varying appeals for varying readers. I think that shirtal diversity is very important.
I still think she’s beautiful
I agree. And Puck is one of those women who look particularly alluring when they’re almost ready to snap you in two.
Pregnant and enraged?
I think I’m in love!
Well, Colin’s in love too (poor fool) but that’s not always a good insurance against broken bones.
Ah yes… that very dangerous look….
The one that says: “I’ve already decided you need to be hurt, I’m just determining how badly… and weighing in how inconvenient it would be for me if neither of your arms worked for the next 2 months.”
Yep. That’s the look.
So did you come up with any ideas for the next vote comic yet?
Nothing jumps out at me … yet. Just wait, though. I’ll come up with something.
20X6! = 20 X 720 = 14400 = 2^6 x 3^2 x 5^2
Math tutor with no students until tomorrow. Have to stay in practice.
Oooooh. Factorials! Dang, I remember that from grade twelve math. You’re a tough nut, I’ll say!
I still think Daphne should wear that shirt to math class. What is she in? Grade 11?
I don’t really know what grade Daphne is in. I’d say grade nine or ten, maybe eleven. I’m deliberately vague. I’d guess, though, that it’s been a few years since Daphne ever actually physically went into a math class. Her type tends to give school a wide berth.
I’m also pretty sure pronouncing it “Twenty Exty Six!” wouldn’t do much for her grade.
Is there any other way to pronounce it?
Seems like all he has to do is not roll a one.
In the game of life, Colin’s odds are pretty good.
I don’t know. I’m pretty sure he’s using some negatively loaded dice if the “ricochet into his ass” comic means anything.
I don’t think Colin would ever convert to a religion that believes in the concept of karma for that very reason.
Hello:
Just discovered your strip through Big Head Press yesterday, voted on TWC, but, sadly, the voting incentive doesn’t seem to show up on my Android tablet (Samsung Note 10.1″) 🙁
Has anyone else experienced this?
Eek. Not sure why. If you vote by identifying the character on TWC, it SHOULD come up with a standard JPEG image of the voting incentive, but I’m not sure whether TWC has compatibility issues with tablets or not. Weird. I’m happy to hear (or largely deduce) that the comic site itself works just fine on your tablet, though. If you try on a desktop or laptop, it might show up. I haven’t heard of this problem before, but thanks for letting me know. It’s … puzzling.
What did you think of my vote comic suggestions Fashions through the ages Puck the vampire slayer and having Puck bear the holy wounds of Jesus known as the stigmata?
I think I’m going in a different direction … for now.
Personally, I admire her for absorbing the comment in stride and not making the typical scene we’re accustomed to seeing in scenarios like this. That’s just soooo played in the context of things. Men take the pie in the face too much as it is in comedies.
Was it a dumb thing to say? Sure it was. But we as men are such visual creatures, sometimes some of us, lack the tact to bite our tongues due to whatever. And by the 9th month women are just ready to get it over with anyway. They know how they look, YOU telling them doesn’t help however. 😀
I nearly bit my tongue off countless times towards my wife’s ever-changing figure but I was determined to make sure she had a pleasant pregnancy through no neglect on my part in which she attests to quite often.
Yeah, I’m guilty of that comedic shorthand. Colin’s the victim of many ‘stupid male’ jokes. But they spring from the well of experience, let me tell you.
Like you, I’m actually pretty tactful in real life by virtue of the fact that I seldom open my mouth. The silent man is blessed. Mind you, sometimes my eyes say it all, and they get me into trouble now and then.
Having lived with a pregnant redhead twice, I can testify to their anger when provoked. Fortunately I have learned what I can, and what I can’t say, most to avoid the very look she gives (just like the one in today’s comic.)
It’s sort of like the advice they give you about what to do in a bear attack: “The first rule of surviving a bear attack is to avoid putting yourself in a situation where a bear attack can occur in the first place.” Avoid ever giving a pregnant redhead a reason for shooting you the look. Because if she’s shot you the look, you’re probably already dead. It sounds like you, sir, have survived your fair share of bear attacks.
I wonder what Puck will do for employment after her little bundle of joy is born.
Well, not much for a while. In Canada, most women don’t work for a year following the birth of a child thanks to a wonderful thing called ‘maternity leave’. Not that Puck really has a job to get leave from, but … yeah. I don’t think she’ll be racing off to find employment any time soon.
Not sure I really dig this kind of examination of character – look a touch deeper and either it rings of paternalistic humouring on the males part, or an unhealthy non connection (may as well be people in cars road raging at each other, for all the connection)
It can’t be that simple – so what’s even further down in all this? The study can go far further than this.
What’s that you say? It’s just a web comic?
Excuses….
(Poster otherwise known as darknoon on smack jeeves)
I’m doing an examination of character? Really? It’s just a webcomic. 😉
But in all seriousness, does it reflect some paternalistic humouring on the male’s part? Yeah, probably. I certainly wouldn’t consider Colin an enlightened male.
I wouldn’t say that Colin and Puck’s relationship is suffering from non-connection, though. There’s tremendous affection there on both sides of the relationship, but there is a communication disconnect, which I’ve seen (to some extent) in almost all heterosexual relationships. They get through it, though. And they’re going to have to get through a lot more in the future.
Just wait and see if Puck will have a girl or a boy.
Yes. Wait and see…
Colin has yet to learn that when a woman says “What?” It’s not because she didn’t hear you, it’s because she is giving you the chance to change what you said.
Well, he’s doing that right here, man! He’s learned that vital lesson, but he hasn’t learned the even more vital lesson: saying what women want to hear. Few men master that skill. And 93% of all men who DO know what women want to hear live on mountaintops in caves.
Made more difficult by the fact that the goalposts are always being moved.
How about having Puck and company sponsor a needy child through Children International which started in 1936 as Holy Land Christian Mission.
That seems too … charitable for this mostly selfish crowd of ingrates.
LOL I LOVE the pic of Tracee! Well played, on April 1st nonetheless!!
I’d say ‘April Fools!’ but I pull this kind of stunt all year round.
[MFW] that vote incintive: http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/smosh-gif-heart.gif
I aim to please.
Sometimes a man just needs to know when to say nothing at all.
…
What? It doesn’t apply to me. I’m not even human.
Omg 1936. This made my day. I LOVE homestar. And the sbemails. UGH! My middleschool years are coming to the forefront of my memory! I had a homsar ‘raised by a cup of coffee’ tshirt. And I still go back and watch teen girl squad.
I miss that site so much haha
You’re making me feel old now. Your middle school years = my ‘already an adult and working but too poor to afford cable’ years. You had a Homsar ‘raised by a cup of coffee’ t-shirt, but I still have my Homsar ‘raised by a cup of coffee’ t-shirt, and wear it regularly. Because I’m an old man and old men always wear clothing that dates from a previous decade.
OMG… if I’m doing the math right; Brins’ middleschool years mean that the vehicle I’m currently driving, that I bought new, was made before she was…
I’m old – and it’s about time to get a new car, I guess.
The only reason I don’t still is because I lost it. Which really bugs me. I miss it so. I want to order a BUNCH of shirts but since the site just kind of stopped I don’t think I’d actually ever get my product. BOOO.
oopsie that was supposed to be in reply….I suck.
My shirt is in a state of general decomposition. I still wear it, though, much to my wife’s chagrin. I’m not really sure if the Homestar store is still operational, but … who knows? Stranger stuff has happened.
Somehow… good job on panel 1. I can almost see the waddle.
Waddles are hard to draw.
Be careful Colin! Narwhals have horns!
(But they make great steaks. Mmmm!) 😉
Narwhal steaks? Isn’t that like eating a unicorn? YOU MONSTER!
I’m belatedly reporting him to Marigold Heavenly Nostrils!
14,400
Wasn’t that a dial-up modem speed?
Maybe. It’s also twenty time six factorial. I like my calculator.
