IT’S THE JLA AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE!
I thought it was time to pay tribute to the Justice League of America before Zack Synder takes a steaming dump on the franchise. So every week in July will bring you a new, cool JLA-related cosplay experience, courtesy of the Puck crowd! The second one’s up now, so vote for Puck on TWC and take a look!
VOTE BEFORE GORILLA GRODD ESCAPES! (Again!)
As for the comic...
We had to get to the puking eventually. So now we got to it. It can only go downhill from here, I guess.

AND JUSTICE IS SERVED!!!!!!!
ROFL!
I’m guessing this is only the appetizer.
well, you would know better than the rest of us.
I’m looking forward to more (Puck has earned it)
Agreed!
ROFL rearranged is ROLF which could be a sound of vomiting
And also a Muppet!
I can’t imagine “ROLF” ever being the sound of vomiting.
More of a “bleargh” maybe.
Ooooooooooooooh !
Phoebe turned GREEN !
It happens every once in a while.
I never thought justice came with diced carrots and chicken gristle.
It does. Unless you modify the order.
How did she manage to get all that vomit to miss her pants and only hit Puck?
She’s really good at aiming, I guess.
Either that or pretty good instincts: Phoebe’s keeping her hair out of it, too.
If it was anybody but Phoebe, I would say it definitely was premedited. So I’m going for subconscious evil instincts kicking in.
Yeah, the fact that she had the time to pull the hair back does sort of suggest that she had some level of warning. I’m not sure I’ll go with subconscious evil instincts, but I will go with a subconscious instinct for revenge.
looks to me like Puck is holding her hair.
To be honest, the way I drew it, it could be either, I guess.
Then Phoebe has a weird left hand or really contorted herself. The thumb is wrong for a left hand.
It’s sort of situated weird, it’s true.
Ayep, sometimes that’s the way it works. She made the mistake of turning her head to reply and that was the final sensory straw for the old circular canals… A buddy of mine took me up in a plane for some aerobatic routines, it was the gentle S turn as he straightened out to land that got me, up to that point I felt pretty good and then “Chunks!”
I think your experience was a little more extreme than Phoebe’s. But hey, everyone has their own threshold. Phoebe’s threshold is obviously very, very low.
i’m immune to the puke reflex. The only way i will throw up like that is if it’s chemically induced. there is a certain chemical that is guaranteed to make people puke (don’t remember what it’s called). it’s normally used when people do something stupid that requires them to empty the contents of their stomach (kids getting into the pill cabinet thinking they are eating candies).
Hydrogen peroxide, maybe? They dose dogs with that when they want to clear their stomachs. Works like a charm.
… Isn’t that horribly poisonous?
Syrup of ipecac. Been on BOTH ends of it.
I’m surprised at the fact that there’s one fully white speech bubble (Puck’s first). Mainly as it’s unusual (and you mentioned a while back trying to have as few of those as possible).
Comic going downhill from here? Bah. There’s no way Puck can go downhill (unless you randomly make it… Anything BUT Puck anymore).
I recall going to a themepark a few years back and rode behind a couple. The guy was your typical “I AM SO MUCH MORE AWESOME THAN YOU”… He ended up vomiting around 30 seconds after the ride started. Once we got off, the chick stormed off. I don’t think they dated for long after that…
It’s the same gradient as Puck’s usual bubbles, but the spectrum has been moved. So it’s probably got a little bit of green in there. But maybe not. And anyone wearing a shirt like that is just asking for God to strike him down in embarrassing and date-ruining ways.
Puking speaks louder than words. Literally.
Depending on the individual, I guess it can be. I usually find puking to be fairly quiet, but our ears are so finely tuned to it that we recognize the distinct sound a mile away.
I guess that I’m in the minority then, as my lovely, long-suffering wife calls me “The Banshee Barfer”… lol
Some people are loud. My family tends to be whisper quiet, but I still can always make out that distinct ‘huueeeaaa’ sound from the other end of the house.
After Miranda, you’d think Puck would be more used to puke.
The disgusting bodily fluids of one’s own flesh-and-blood are somehow different from the disgusting bodily fluids of one’s unrelated housemates.
I do not know how or why this is so, and yet it is so.
It is so. Dealing with other people vomit (not your own kids’ vomit) is worse, and adult vom is the worst vom of all.
Probably the greater alcohol content.
I have to say EG I always thought Maeve was the hottest comic strip female but i think Phoebe’s got here beat. even when she is sporting a green tinged tan!
Maeve (from Between Friends, for those not up on their Ontario comics) is, I think, hotter than Phoebe just due to her personality and poise. I have a serious thing for Maeve, as you can probably guess. Phoebe’s space cadet nature knocks the sexy meter down a little bit, IMHO. I’m also glad the slightly greenish hue in the middle panels came through. It was hard to hit the right level of green.
and I know you know who Maeve is even if alot of youre readers dont
Having been barfed on once by my little sister on a long-ish car ride, a part of me cannot help but feel for Puck.
Then again, it’s not like she couldn’t have seen this coming from a mile away. Why, Phoebe warned her. Repeatedly.
Justice is served. Justice smells bad.
If revenge is a dish best served cold, at what temperature is justice best served at?
Hot. Reheat and serve.
Puck should consider herself lucky. About 15 degrees of that other 320 were shoulder, neck, and… other areas. Better the lap than those. XD
True. It could have been worse. Though she’s had her head puked on before by baby, so maybe it wouldn’t faze her.
Phoebe could have done the proper thing and peed her pants. A girl I was dating did exactly that when we rode a killer roller coaster at an amusement park. I guess I shouldn’t have laughed, but I did, a lot. She dumped me not long after that for some reason.
I’ve never heard of that before. That’s horrifying. Yet a little more contained and less likely to ruin other riders’ days. Mind you, I’m sure the next person to get on the ride and sit in that seat would have been unhappy. Unless she told the ride operator, but what I know of most people makes me think that when you pee yourself on a ride, you keep that info to yourself.
Being on the receiving end of somebody peeing in the seat you take on a roller coaster is horrifying. It’s the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced, and as much as I wish you were wrong you’re right. But man, if that person would suck it up and admit to the ride operator they peed there, it would save someone and lot of pain and disgust. A lot.
a* lot of pain
That’s vile. And then what do you do? Tell the ride operator, “Uh, I just sat in this seat, and someone peed in it! Like, right before me! No, it wasn’t me! Seriously!” Still, I’d probably tell the operator just out of my inner fury at sitting in pee. Someone’s gotta get told.
Well, I’m not sure how other people would handle the situation, but I was pretty sure my shriek of terror and disgust was enough to tell the ride operator that it most definitely wasn’t me.
Somehow, I thought “Batgirl” (Barbara Gordon version) would be more Daphne’s forte, no microskirt, and hacking everything left, right and centre !!!
She’s just lucky you did not draw her up as “Wonder Woman”…
Daphne has already cosplayed as Batgirl (the yellow, grey and light blue version) in a previous incentive (October 2012, to be precise), so you’re on target for that.
Considering recent events, I’d say Phoebe’s aim was spot-on and correct. ;p
It does seem rather convenient, doesn’t it?
Best thing about it, Puck can’t really say she hadn’t been warned nor Phoebe did it on purpose.
Now, must wonder if she did.
Knowing Phoebe, unlikely.
And yet, she had the time and presence of mind to pull her own hair out of the way.
Yeah, that’s my thought too. Seems … vaguely premeditated.
I’m really impressed that Phoebe could keep her yak low flow and precise. Would’ve been a shame ruining those jeans she’s rockin’. 😀
Very convenient, eh? But when you wear pants like that, you’re usually pretty careful not to yak on them.
Okay, Phoebe loses points for that. A lot of points.
… She’s still yummy though…
Well, notice she was careful not to get any barf on herself.
I postulate that they teach girls to get their hair out of the way before puking in phys ed. That or it’s just a reflexive action that females have evolved over time.
Both reasonable theories.
Oh my goodness, she even looks a little green! 😀
Slight radial green filter. Indeed.
