Just a little bit of social commentary in this one. I always find it funny how even the most educated and empowered women often force themselves into restrictive concepts of femininity when they feel that society demands it. And what […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Anyway, this strip requires little explanation, I think. Kind of a cheesy joke, really. You’ll notice that Daphne is playing a PS1. That lets you know how old this strip is. I’m not sure what PS1 game makes sounds like […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This was a concept that I returned to multiple times over the course of the strip: Satan as president of McNiven University. It was a light-hearted stab at Peter George, president of McMaster University, who in actual fact is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The point of this one is to quickly sum up the hostile relationship between Puck and her new roommate, Phoebe. (Phoebe, by the way, is the daughter of Satan.) I should really say the relationship is hostile in one direction […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
