NEW DECEMBER VOTING INCENTIVE: SEXY ELF SHOWDOWN?
Okay guys, Puck has sunk to its lowest rank on TWC in months! To give it a bit of a boost, I’m posting a second voting incentive that’s more in keeping with the season. In the war of sexy elves, one shall stand and one shall fall!
CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR PUCK!!! VOTE IT UP, DAMNIT!
Oh, and if you didn’t hear the news…
My good friend Daniele Giardini, an Italian video game designer, just put the finishing touches on his indie game, GOSCURRY, and he actually put Puck in the game as one of the avatar choices for players! This makes Goscurry the first video game to ever feature Puck! It’s only six bucks, and it’s an insanely good game! It’s the hardest fair game ever made, in my opinion. HARDEST. FAIR GAME. EVER.
So to put it simply, guys, buy it. It’s a great game with endless play value and an insanely catchy soundtrack. And I’ll see YOU on the LEADERBOARDS. (Let me know if you beat my high scores. I challenge you to beat them!)
And if you missed it, I did a podcast with Jason Love over at his site, jasonloveslife.com. We talk about the business of webcomics mostly, with stuff on how to promote and market your comic online. Plus you get to hear my rich, chocolaty voice!
Well, isn’t a disability basically defined bodily able. And to meet the lawful definition, one has to be 100% human to be fully bodily able. Doesn’t Puck defy that definition by being an elf/human hybrid?
Those are easier to get than you think. You apply online and they mail it to you. They aren’t free though. Sometimes family members who occasionally drive disabled people to doctors appointments and the like get them, but only put them on the dashboard when they need it.
As far as parking in a handicapped space when you’re not actually disabled, it’s only a moral issue.
From a legal standpoint, you either have the permit to park there, or you don’t.
If your grandson is dragging your wheelchair out of the trunk, but the permit isn’t on your dashboard: Ticket.
If you perform cartwheels past the uniformed officer on your way into the Timmy’s, but the permit is present: No ticket.
Colic? Yikes. That’s… Kinda evil to give to them, don’t you think?
…Oh wait, it’s Puck we’re talking about.
NEVERMIND ALL IS GOOD.
*Resumes pointing and laughing at Puck’s reasoning*
The fact that she says “only bad people have colicky babies” is what I’m laughing at. I… Kind of find it ironic that she thinks that and her kid gets it. Karma much?
I reportedly was a colicky baby. My mother was only 16 when I was born and put her adult tranquilizers in my milk, presumably formula. She was too young to be a mother.
Ugh, I don’t miss the days of dealing with a colicky baby.
I miss the old fashioned apothecaries that had surefire remedies for this problem. Bought something there that came in a little bottle that smelled God-awful when my newborn son was going through this. My aunt and uncle strongly recommended it because surprisingly, it was given to me as an infant so I mixed a little in his formula.
Sure enough, in 2-3 days his colic was cured. Be prepared for some funky belches though. Nothing over the counter gave him relief but I did regain some semblance of sleep after treating him with this stuff.
The best stuff is always illegal. But seriously, if you can find that magic liquid, buy it up and sell it for millions on the internet, because medical science offers no solution.
Wow, you know now that I think about it, you’d be hard-pressed to find a Mom-n-Pop store like that nowadays. I found one that carried this stuff out of sheer luck and we’re talking late 90s. I’m almost certain that the larger conglomerates have pushed stores like this out of business by now.
I doubt any pharmacist under the age of 35 would have any idea on what this stuff was or what it was used for. I mean I even bought homemade salve at this place for when your child has chest congestion; not the stuff you’d find on a shelf salve. This was, as I call it, “your great, great-grandmother’s salve” 😀 Clears up colds overnight.
I say that to say this: sometimes your elders make the best doctors. I can’t explain it, it works more times than not.
I wonder how thin those walls are. Because I really don’t want to see what Phoebe, or God forbid, Daphne, are going to do if THEY are kept up because of the baby.
Come to think of it if thinks go BAD for me and my gf (as in the tests come out positive that she’s expecting), this scene will only describe how much I really need to rethink my short, pathetic, human existance.
On the bright side, the stage depicted here is only temporary. The first six to eight weeks of having a baby often REALLY suck. Then it gets easier. There are other challenges, but the intense sleep deprivation that goes along with this stage is one of the least pleasant experiences I’ve ever had.
Wait, wait, wait, this voting incentive confuses me. You’re saying Phoebe is also an elf?? Then why does she have horns, when Puck doesn’t? Are there different kinds of elves?
I always just figured she was a minor demon or something…
Okay, I just checked the character page, and Phoebe is described as a she-demon, the daughter of Satan. (Which I should have remembered, but it’s been a while.) So what’s with the blurb about which one gets to be the “sexy elf” this year?
It’s role-playing. Neither is actually an elf. Puck is a fairy (I think), and Phoebe is a she-demon. The ‘sexy elf’ thing is based off the past few Christmas voting incentives. In 2011, Puck was dressed as a sexy elf. In 2012, Puck’s pregnant belly forced her to take on the role of Santa, and Phoebe got to take the role of ‘sexy elf,’ which Puck bemoaned. So now Puck’s back. But yeah, no one is really an elf. Just like the Santa at the mall is not, in actual fact, Santa. Though in this case, I do admit it can get a little confusing.
Been re-reading some of these, and it just occurred to me that punching that chick in a wheelchair might actually prove that Puck really is a good person. She doesn’t discriminate. She’ll punch a chick in a wheelchair just as soon as she’d punch anyone else. Black, white, Jew, gentile, gay, straight, transgender, able bodied, or differently abled, all are up for Puck punching. She is an equal opportunity maimer.
Mebbe u had arready dun diddit arready wha wittit arready had been did. Puck=Robin. Colin=Batman. Phoebe=as few clothes as possible. Tracee=Phoebe only hotter with less clothes.(I like Tracee.) Daphne=Ben Grimm …. Get it….Cuz Daphne is a THING, not a person.

I think she likely applied for one of those little wheelchair stickers for the car. They turned her down.
Those are easier to get than you think. You apply online and they mail it to you. They aren’t free though. Sometimes family members who occasionally drive disabled people to doctors appointments and the like get them, but only put them on the dashboard when they need it.

I knew an able-bodied person who totally had a legal permit for parking in the magic spot. It is a thing.
She did run over Puck’s foot with her chair shortly after, so I don’t feel too sorry for her.
Exactly. It’s all good because violence begets violence, and it all evens out.
Colic? Yikes. That’s… Kinda evil to give to them, don’t you think?

*Resumes pointing and laughing at Puck’s reasoning*
Now I’m curious about how you misread it. It sounds like a more interesting comic.
The fact that she says “only bad people have colicky babies” is what I’m laughing at. I… Kind of find it ironic that she thinks that and her kid gets it. Karma much?
The fact that she even vaguely believes that she could qualify as a ‘good person’ is the funniest part for me.
eh. The fey have their own definitions of right and wrong.
I think Puck is a chaotic neutral.
That’s a good Advanced D&D classification.
God, I miss D&D…
It’s still there. Like, I still have all my books in the basement. All the dice. Saving throw for death ray, anyone?
I have a +4 to fortitude!
I reportedly was a colicky baby. My mother was only 16 when I was born and put her adult tranquilizers in my milk, presumably formula. She was too young to be a mother.
I suppose it’s fortunate that she doesn’t punch the baby, who, after all, is mouthing off to her too…
Mothering instincts are strong. Far more likely that she’ll take her anger out on someone else.
she’ll punch her baby’s daddy, its obviously his fault.
Poor Colin. He gets punched often enough when it’s his own fault. It’s sort of unfair that he takes abuse for his kid’s actions too.
Ugh, I don’t miss the days of dealing with a colicky baby.

Grandma was a smart lady.

Walls are pretty thin. And you WILL see what happens when Phoebe and Daphne are kept up because of the baby relatively soon.
Hell hath no fury like a sleep deprived teenager. 🙂
yes some times they can be scary HIDE ME!
Just throw pizza at them and they go away.
This is true. The average teenager can be tempered through take out or delivered pizzas.
I wonder what Miranda will be like when she’s a teenager in high school.
She will be a member of an intrepid mystery-solving quartet of nosy kids who ride around in a big van with a talking dog.
Puck, definitly puck. For one, green is much more her colour and she already has the ears.
You mean the voting incentive? Well, I’ll second your vote only because she’s the returning champion.
Plus, the freckles go all the way down. 😉
Come to think of it if thinks go BAD for me and my gf (as in the tests come out positive that she’s expecting), this scene will only describe how much I really need to rethink my short, pathetic, human existance.

She is an equal opportunity maimer.
She generally limits her attacks to able-bodied males, but all rules are abandoned if she’s really angry.
Mebbe u had arready dun diddit arready wha wittit arready had been did. Puck=Robin. Colin=Batman. Phoebe=as few clothes as possible. Tracee=Phoebe only hotter with less clothes.(I like Tracee.) Daphne=Ben Grimm …. Get it….Cuz Daphne is a THING, not a person.
Never quite as brilliant as that, but I’ve done very similar things.
O M G
THIS is the legendary strip where Puck admits to being the infamous WheelChair Slayer of Hamilton.
And she shows no remorse.
Does Robin keep her ICE PICK under the Bed ?
Unconfirmed.
Well, you finally found it.
Well, thanks to EG I was able to binge on TRIPP.
Very satisfying.
And someday, in the distant future, there will be those who binge on PUCK.
Including the final, shocking, ICEPICK FINALE.
Don’t they live with the literal spawn of satan? and they don’t think that good and evil are real?
Well, only if we accept this version of Satan as evil. Because he’s pretty banal as the lord of evil.
Satan is a devil and Phoebe is a demon – does that mean she is adopted? Devils and Demons are different classes as I remember.
The terms were once synonymous, but various religious orders and eras have established differences. I use them interchangeably.
