Every once in a while, I like to take a glance at the words and phrases that lead people to this site through the various available search engines. Some of them are mundane and common sense, but some of them are honestly freaking hilarious. To that end, I’m listing some of the top search queries that led people to my site over the past week. And I am NOT making any of this up.
Some of the more popular search queries:
puck comic, puck webcomic, puck comics etc.
This makes sense. Obviously. No questions here. Someone is obviously familiar with my comic and is hunting for the URL.
pregnant webcomic
Uh … yeah. I guess there are some people out there looking for that sort of thing. Not sure whether they’re pleased with what they find. Not sure I want to know the extent of their pleasure.
pragnant puck
You read that right: PRAGNANT PUCK. Not pregnant. The weirdest part? Multiple people searched for this exact term!!! Because poor literacy is cool.
puck costume ideas
I don’t think my comic would help these people much, unless they want to win the ‘obscure webcomic character costume’ award at the Halloween party.
tony stark nude
WHAT? I mean … WHAT?!? Seriously, how did my comic come up in this search list, and how far down the list was it? They (and yes, multiple people searched for this term and somehow found my comic) must have been scrolling through pages and pages of ‘tony stark nude’ search queries to come to me. The less I know about that, the happier I am.
star trek body paint cosplay
I understand why certain people would be looking for this, but they must have been very disappointed when they got to my site.
puck from real world
This one confuses me on a philosophical level. What, indeed, is the real world? What constitutes a Puck from the real world? Must it, by definition, be a hockey puck, or a dishwasher puck? What is real and what is not? Red pill or blue pill? So many questions.
My friends hot mom naket comics com
Not sure whether this is the name of a real comic or not, but if it is, the creator is an absolute genius. Though I’m presuming that ‘naket’ is a spelling error. Maybe it’s not.
puck naked
This one always shows up in the top search lists for my site. In this case, I’m really not sure whether the searcher is looking for our Puck sans garments, or some other Puck sans garments, or whether the searcher is just misspelling the phrase ‘buck naked.’ I, for one, find all of the above concepts very amusing.
There are many more, but some of them are too foul to list. Search engines: connecting creepy people to creepy media since the internet began.
Actually, the Internet is older than the World Wide Wait, err, Web, but shortly after the World Wide Web service was introduced search engines were being developed to help people find what they wanted to find. Anybody else remember Webcrawler or anybody else that was active before Google took over the market. The only one I can think of is Yahoo!
I clearly remember the pre-Google internet. I actually had a Puck website running back then. Yahoo was the big dog, and it was an odd, goofy system of a search engine that pretty much guaranteed that no one could find anything. And yet I have fond memories…
Oh yeah, I clearly remember BBSs and other things, pre-graphics internet. I was using e-mail way back in ’87-88, and even played an on-line, text-only game (called, “Forest”) where you created a character and could fight other players and monsters, upgrade weapons and armor, etc. it was, in retrospect, sort of like a simple, text-based version of World of Warcraft, only without Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris was on Mars at the time, which is why there is no life there today.
Back then, the internet was a series of vacuum tubes aligned end-to-end (hence, “the inter-tubes”), that connected various universities, government agencies, and a small, mixed-breed, surprisingly aerodynamic dog named “Wonker the Wonderful”, though nobody can now tell you why.
Before THAT it consisted entirely of bamboo and cat hair, and all it was good for was programming in Fortran, spreading university gossip and playing Pong.
The search “puck from real world”…. I actually know where it’s from. MTV had a show call “The Real World”, where they filmed a bunch of strangers living together in a house. It helped start the “reality tv” craze. In one season, there was a guy on the show named… Puck. (Who got thrown out at one point I believe).
What do I win? Can I get a cookie? lol
You win a Sherlock Holmes merit badge. Though I still think ‘dishwasher puck’ is a more satisfying answer.
*snickers* A bit late, but wow Gecko your comic is awesome! Now if only we can get people to find your web comic threw a variety of search word combination including the key search words of ” A Ferret, lorena bobbitt, and Ted Bundy,”
[.. in-case anyone questions this…its a parity of Poker2nite characters talking about weirdest dreams..] … i don’t know why my brain linked this to your web search thing… but it could be a explanation of how people search your comic randomly..or i am weird..yeah could be O_o….umm still typing… ahhh o_O I blow in my dogs ear when he sleeps and then act like it wasn’t me.. *scudles away* WUB WUB WUB
Search engines lead to strange, strange thoughts sometimes. And all of your listed words are rather deadly in their own right, so at least there’s a connection. (Ferrets are nasty, nasty creatures. Seriously.)
Are you planning to add the baby to the characters list, or only when she is bigger?
I will add baby to the list soon. Just … haven’t gotten round to it. Yet.
I got here trying to find a Youtube video of a man who accidentally got his head stuck up an elephants butt.
Well, I’m glad your search for high-quality entertainment led you to me.
Never found it and I AM GLAD. Bar bets are stupid.
A GOOGLE Search for me brought up several pictures of Puck from Alpha Flight; and if God is Kind, no search will EVER yield nude pictures of THAT Puck.
Well, if you purchase the voting incentives in my store, I drew one. It was scarring. Really, really scarring. SO. MUCH. BODY HAIR.
Allie Brosh did something like this for her blog and it was just as hilarious! You don’t even HAVE Tony Stark anywhere in the comic! Definitely not a naked Tony Stark.
There IS a alt-text that mentions Tony Stark somewhere in my comic. And the word ‘naked’ pops up frequently enough, so I think I know how it happened. Crazy, though!
Yeah, it’s mentioned when Puck wants some and Colin says it’s gonna be… Hard. Puck says something like “If the Wright brothers could figure out how to fly, we can figure this out!”. Don’t really recall what number it is – was somewhere mid-early end of the pregnancy arc, I think.
Update: 182 is the one where Tony Stark is mentioned. Figured I’d go check. Wheeee.
No offense but that’s one UGLY BABY!
Newborn-type babies are almost always a little ugly. The best you get is cute-ugly. Some are just plain ugly-ugly.
Tony Stark is kinda hot, so I could see why someone would search him nude, but his hair….. it curtails any possible searches of this nature on my computer.
Yeah, don’t try this search at home, kids. Just this last week a whole bunch of hilarious searches have popped up, including “rick james hulk comic” (gotta read that), “rainbow dash boobs” and “naughty naked cowboys.” Glad to see people are coming to my site for the right reason.
