It was around the time this strip was running that I met my wife. A mutual friend set us up. “You’d like her,” my friend said. “She’s got freckles, long legs and wears short skirts just like Puck.” I guess […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Just some good ole gender reversal here. It now occurs to me that this joke would be entirely unfunny if the dialogue boxes were switched between the characters.
More academic humour here. This was a strip born of my eternal frustration over the scholarship process. I always won scholarships, though they were never large. That was partly due to the nature of the Canadian university experience. In the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This one’s the continuation of the Anne of Green Gables Halloween gag from the previous strip. Phoebe shows up dressed as a French maid. I think everyone saw that one coming. Now, it must be said that I consider Phoebe’s […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Not much to say here. I’d like to say that I was above jokes featuring sexually predatory university professors, but apparently I wasn’t. Dated alert: check out the beige monstrosity of a computer that Daphne is working on. Remember CRT […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I personally think this is one of the funnier comics in the whole series. Panel two makes me chuckle every time I look at it, and it’s all due to Puck’s appearance: that near-death state of illness that we’ve all […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
