NEW FEBRUARY VOTING INCENTIVE! COLIN'S TICKETS TO HALF-ASSED ROMANCE!!!
Hey fellas! Are you stumped on what to get your lady-type friend this Valentine's Day? Why not give her one of Colin's Tickets to Half-Assed Romance? Vote for Puck on TWC to check it out! And let the self-styled 'Love Doctor' give you a prescription!
CLICK HERE TO VOTE FOR PUCK!!! I’LL BE YOUR FRIEND!
As for the comic, this marks the start of a lengthy (and hopefully entertaining) story arc that’s bound to take us into uncharted territory. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I can definitely say that this story arc will bring more Satan (a perennial fan favourite), among other things.
Upon seeing this comic, my wife asked the usual “What the hell is Phoebe wearing?” question, which immediately tells me that I’ve hit upon a winning outfit. And no, I have no idea how it stays up. Glue is my best guess. I also have no clue how she operates a touch screen with gloves on. As mentioned in previous strips, she’s a girl of many talents.
Also…
Also also…
It’ll be … interesting. It’ll also require me to sustain a dual narrative for a while as the main cast splits into two camps, with some crossovers between them, but it’ll be fun.
Is that is what will happen? I figured you were just getting rid of them to apply more focus to the baby.
And honestly, I wasn’t sure what to make of that. On the upside… less Daphne… on the downside… ugly, noisy, red person-maggot.
I’ve never half-assed Valentines, even if I hate the “holiday” with a burning passion. I just make it look like I am to increase the fun of the surprise.
My ex had mentioned when we got together that her favorite musician was Alice Cooper and that his music meant a whole lot to her because it helped her through a very difficult teenage period. Valentines comes and she’s getting upset about the fact I didn’t bring her flowers, candy, or even a card until I gave her a box. She opened it, and there was a custom made box set of several of his albums and music videos that I had sent during the middle of the year and asked him to autograph in a letter. He was kind enough to do so. Tears of joy.
So yeah, Valentines is easy, even if it doesn’t seem it.
It’s not easy. It requires effort. See what you described there? That’s the results of effort. I’m talking about the the Valentine’s Day you have with your partner after you’ve already been through ten to fifteen Valentine’s Days with the same person before. Your partner’s seen your A game, and your B game, and now it’s like “I’m tired but I love you. You know that. I got you some Rocky Road granola bars at the grocery store because it’s all I had time for. Please don’t be angry.” We all get there eventually.
I can’t say that’s true for everyone, either that or it just takes some longer than others to get to that stage. My mate and I have been together for nearly 24 years, and we’ve been married for nearly 18 of those years and he still manages to spoil me every Valentines day. He’s the guy other men hate to hear about from their gals. The reason other gals know about him is because I can’t help but brag about the cool stuff he does for me.
Heck one year he painted hearts and romantic sayings from our favorite movies all over the bathroom tub surround as a surprise while I was gone. I’m an artist and he always says that he’s not artistic, I loved it! I also collect cool and unique journals, one year he hand made me a leather bound journal, it’s the prize of my collection.
He knows I’m not into all the store bought commercial crap, and that I love well thought out hand made gifts. He proves to me every year that he truly knows me and what I like.
Well, let me be the first to say that I, too, hate your husband, and will try to make myself look better by belittling his impressive romantic efforts.
I wish it was that easy for my wife.
Only gifts she has appreciated was a table saw and a room air filter both things she needed but did not want to spend money on.
Candles, candy, flowers, live plants, incense, etc she just accepted.
I never thought I I would say the following statement in my entire life but: TAKE ME WITH YOU TO SATAN’S HOUSE!!!
Yep I’m going to hell for sure now :/
If I wasn’t going to Hell anyway, I’m going there now for laughing at this comic.
…I have to confess, I am curious what the hell Phoebe is wearing… It looks like some kind of tank-top but the gloves looks like she’d be into S&M or something…
So much to love, but you don’t realize what was made by SNK and what wasn’t. I had no idea games like Samurai Showdown, Bust-A-Move, King of the Monsters and Bomber Man were on Neo Geo platforms. The thing is that I have not seen a bad Neo Geo game, which is something that not many consoles and arcade platforms can say.
Prediction: Satan is about to get his pointy-tailed butt handed to him in virtual combat by Daphne. Or Tyler. Or both. Either way, should be hilarious!
And then Puck comes in and devestates them all after consequative hours alone with a screaming baby. Why? Because they will be babysitters. There is no escape.
Here’s a heads up. I just tried to vote for Puck on TWC from my favorites list, and using the vote banner on this site also, but Google Chrome won’t let me because smack jeeves might have put malware on the page. Since I can and did vote for the rest of my my rather lengthy list of favorites, I have no idea what Chrome is talking about. Has anyone else had a similar problem, or is it just my system?
Ummmmm…. I don’t know? Not sure why there would be a problem with my voting page and no other voting page. Out of curiosity, I just tried voting using the latest copy of Chrome and I didn’t encounter any warnings. But thanks for alerting me, man. I’ve heard of tons of false malware warnings recently on other people’s comics. Not sure what’s up.
Well, I had no problems this morning, but the TWC site went down last night and reset to midnight my time, so I think it cost you my vote–sorry. On the brighter side, I was able to vote this morning before the site went down again which means I MAY have been able to sneak in an extra vote.
I still don’t know what that warning was all about unless it was a spoof attack that TWC shut down to fix.
I just checked right now and the site was down for maintenance. Something funky is going on, I’d say. But I thank you for you diligence in voting, when you actually can. Above and beyond the call of duty, I’d say!
I’m pretty sure she was lying. Given the fact that was (at earliest) the late 1990s and she was only a wee lass, the dates just don’t add up. Mind you, the dates don’t add up in general for this comic, so I guess we shouldn’t read anything into that.
If only I could join those two. Of course, Saan’d have to throw in a few tiny favors, NAMELY unlimited internet access and a high speed processing laptop (that I can freaking keep that gets the Satan family plan internet. Dude’s loaded, all that cash from the souls of greedy idiots! which means internet EVERYWHERE.) then i’d be chill. Sadly, thanks to reality… that’s not happening any time soon.
When I worked at a computer store, we had some weird line-of-sight directional dish internet that actually required a fifteen-foot tower on the roof of the building to work. It was equivalent to a T4 hookup. We could download anything at speeds unheard of even by today’s standards, and this was back in the year 2000. Satan’s got something like that, I’m pretty sure.
I’d prefer a vote comic for the late Justin Carmical, AKA JewWario. He was a youtuber personality who died recently, and the world is lesser for his loss.
After going back through this comic on random, I want to put this disclaimer; yes, I’m aware of what was revealed about him recently. No, I did not know that at the time. These were my thoughts at the time I originally posted this comment, and I do not share the sentiment anymore.
What do both Old Yeller and the Morituri monsters have in common? They had to be put down.Old Yeller was shot because he was rabid and the Morituri monsters had Silencer stop their hearts to end their suffering.
Speaking of aged archaic metal bands … Phoebe looks dressed the part to star in Kiss meets the monsters.
I remember that movie being super cool when I was young, so that means its probably atrocious 🙂

Anyone else worried Daphne is going to be a bad influence on Satan?
Me.
I’m more worried about her stealing his job. She seems so much better qualified for Evil.
There are greater evils in the universe. More on that in coming strips…
I thought when I first read this that Satan may be her father making Phoebe her half-sister. It still could happen.
The ‘secret familial ties’ trope is one I’m not fond of, so unlikely.
Nah. Daphne will be playing KOF too much to have time to be a bad influence. Unless he unplugs the MVS.
The MVS is NEVER unplugged at Satan’s house. I’m pretty sure he has a diesel generator for backup power in case of a black-out. Just for the MVS.
Yeah, but what happens if she kicks his ass and he ends up rage quitting?
Well, things would get ugly. That’s all I can say.
I wasn’t before, now I am
Daphne and Phoebe living with Satan to get away from Miranda I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to them.
It’ll be … interesting. It’ll also require me to sustain a dual narrative for a while as the main cast splits into two camps, with some crossovers between them, but it’ll be fun.

Oops, aw damn I did it again didn’t I? Well, I can’t help it if I have one of the best men in the world. 😀
I wish it was that easy for my wife.
Only gifts she has appreciated was a table saw and a room air filter both things she needed but did not want to spend money on.
Candles, candy, flowers, live plants, incense, etc she just accepted.
Girl wants table saw? Unique. And cool.
I never thought I I would say the following statement in my entire life but: TAKE ME WITH YOU TO SATAN’S HOUSE!!!
Yep I’m going to hell for sure now :/
I’m already bound for hell, so you’re in good company.
I’ll see you there. We can play Samurai Showdown 2 together.
That’s right! You just know all the cool people will be there.
If I wasn’t going to Hell anyway, I’m going there now for laughing at this comic.
…I have to confess, I am curious what the hell Phoebe is wearing… It looks like some kind of tank-top but the gloves looks like she’d be into S&M or something…
A Neo Geo arcade cabinet? If he wasn’t the devil, I’d be following them.
There are few things I’d consider actively selling my soul for, but a Neo Geo MVS arcade cab is one of them.
I’m more for King of Fighters than I am for Metal Slug, though I LOVE me some Metal Slug. 🙂
That’s the thing about the MVS: there’s just so much to love.
So much to love, but you don’t realize what was made by SNK and what wasn’t. I had no idea games like Samurai Showdown, Bust-A-Move, King of the Monsters and Bomber Man were on Neo Geo platforms. The thing is that I have not seen a bad Neo Geo game, which is something that not many consoles and arcade platforms can say.
Yes, I’m a gamer nerd. 🙂
Wait till the two of them have screaming babies of their own. (One each, at least.)
It’ll be a while on that one. I don’t plan to introduce any more babies into the mix right now. None.
Neo gel is worth any trip!
But what if the Neo Geo is like the sirens luring you to your ultimate doom? What then?
Ummm…submit willingly?
Good call.
What game system is worth becoming some imp’s game system in the place where the only game played is “You Are In Pain. Ha ha ha.”
Oh come on. We all know that the only video game system in hell is the Virtual Boy.
Uh-oh…does this mean that a certain someone is going to make another classic appearance in the coming weeks?
Don’t tease me, man! 😀
BTW, Phoebe is lookin’ hot in that ensemble.
Yeah, there will be a fair amount of Satan in the next bit. I knew that would make you happy!
Prediction: Satan is about to get his pointy-tailed butt handed to him in virtual combat by Daphne. Or Tyler. Or both. Either way, should be hilarious!
It may indeed play out like that.
And then Puck comes in and devestates them all after consequative hours alone with a screaming baby. Why? Because they will be babysitters. There is no escape.
It’s sure to get interesting.
Why not put Zen in Puck.
Zen and Puck are mutually exclusive.
Didn’t people say that about motorcycle maintenance? 😉 And yet, I have seen a book on that very subject.
How about a Saber Rider and the Sheriff’s Puck vote incentive.
There is NO WAY this is going to end well. o_o Bunking at Club Damned is NOT a good idea EVER.
No, but it might possibly end funny.
I’ll admit it: Daphne’s ears are cute in the last panel.
I’m glad the ears won you over despite your better judgment.
They didn’t. I just thought it was worth mentioning. ^^;
I love how her ears enhance her expression.
Why have ears if you can’t emote with them, right? I think it’s a serious failing of human anatomy.
I knew a guy who could move his ears. It was only a little bit, but it was mighty hilarious.
What exactly is Daphne anyway?
It’s a mystery. We may eventually explore her past, but really, I’m not getting around to that until I run through a lot of other junk first.
Daphne is a kangaroo-dog-girl from the Island of Dr. Moreau.

I remember that Daphne once told Colin that her father was killed in Nam.
I’m pretty sure she was lying. Given the fact that was (at earliest) the late 1990s and she was only a wee lass, the dates just don’t add up. Mind you, the dates don’t add up in general for this comic, so I guess we shouldn’t read anything into that.
If only I could join those two. Of course, Saan’d have to throw in a few tiny favors, NAMELY unlimited internet access and a high speed processing laptop (that I can freaking keep that gets the Satan family plan internet. Dude’s loaded, all that cash from the souls of greedy idiots! which means internet EVERYWHERE.) then i’d be chill. Sadly, thanks to reality… that’s not happening any time soon.

…
I truly envy you for that.
I’d prefer a vote comic for the late Justin Carmical, AKA JewWario. He was a youtuber personality who died recently, and the world is lesser for his loss.

Huh. I didn’t know. Google told me. Adds new layers of ‘messed up’ to an already messed up story.
What do both Old Yeller and the Morituri monsters have in common? They had to be put down.Old Yeller was shot because he was rabid and the Morituri monsters had Silencer stop their hearts to end their suffering.
Whenever Phoebe is wearing something that defies gravity or any other laws of physics, I just chalk it up to innate demoness powers.
Exactly. Though one reader who knows a thing or two about this sort of thing gave me the definitive answer: double-sided tape.
Cowards! They’re both cowards!
It is not cowardice to run away in the face of insurmountable odds.
Yes it is. One must stay back and fight and support one’s comrades to the end.
At least, that’s what they taught me in the army.
Pfft. What does the army know about the horror of babies?
Speaking of aged archaic metal bands … Phoebe looks dressed the part to star in Kiss meets the monsters.
I remember that movie being super cool when I was young, so that means its probably atrocious 🙂
Yeah, that movie definitely hasn’t held up. But if Phoebe is channeling any amount of Kiss, I think that’s a great thing.
Best – Phoebe – Outfit – Eva !
I did quite like this one.
… I honestly don’t care how that outfit stays up. She looks too good in it for me to question it.
Wire-frame bracers? Whale bone? Something’s doing something there.
Daphne has had those suitcases packed and ready for this specific instance for probably a decade. She is nothing if not prepared.
True. The secret to a good con is staying five steps ahead.
