Good One !
Made me smile (which hurts my face).
Curse You Gecko !
🙂
I aim to cause painful facial spasms.
Did not see that comming.
Well, I’m glad there was a nugget of unpredictability in there somewhere.
I know, an actually obscure cosplay.
If anyone cosplays as Papa Shnorf, I want pictures.
If you can’t trust Papa Shnorf, who can you trust?
Shorf for Prime Minister, or whatever the leader of Canada is called.
Yes, we have a prime minister. But I don’t think Papa Shnorf would make a good one. We probably wouldn’t be able to make out most of what he’s saying.
Someone’s got the hots for the Papa.
Potentially, yes. I mean, who can blame her?
Does the baby have Mr. Smacky?
No. It’s attached to a magnetic strip on the wall. You usually see something like that in a kitchen with the big knives stuck to it for easy access and to help keep the blades from getting damaged.
Yeah, just a magnetic tool holder, but it does look like that. Just noticed. Heh.
An unintentional funny then.
I know he can talk, but I find it utterly hillarious to imagine he didn’t talk, just gesture and that worked out well enough.
That is funnier than anything in this comic. Sigh.
I, too, would love to have a scene in which Papa Schnorf communicates with pantomimes, as Harpo Marx does with Chico from time to time.
I was thinking more Old Yeller. “What’s that, Old Yeller? Timmy’s stuck in the well?”
That was Lassie! Old Yeller got bitten by a rabid somethingorother. (I can’t stand the ending so I haven’t seen that flick since I was, like, 11)
Old Yeller, the rabid child savior. Sure he’ll get foam all over you, but he’s just too adorable to run away from.
All dog movies are the same. The dog always dies. Unless it’s a ghost dog, in which the dog is already dead.
That’s the opening of “No More Dead Dogs”, one of my favorite middle-school books. Any chapter book with a dog on the cover ends with it dead by the end.
(This rule does not apply to webcomics, and most especially not to Daphne, as she appears to be a product of something like Titania’s tryst with Bottom and therefore as supernatural as Puck. We hope!)
looks as if collins melty m&m´s a few panels ago were a sound investment.
Yes, m&m’s are always a good investment. Unless they’re Eminem … in which case they’re a GREAT investment!
I love the fact they’d sooner listen to a giant, green mascot than the actual parents of a child.
Then again, having an impartial third person being a witness is good. Or so I hear, at least. I dunno.
And by the looks of things, this arc is soon coming to an end.
Yes, we’re on the wrap-up end of things now. I mean, it’s been a year. A YEAR. I need to come up with shorter story arcs.
Hey don’t mock the people who dress up as characters they see a lot of parents in their line of work so they know which ones are good and bad parents.
I don’t doubt it, really. Though I marvel that those people can see anything in those suits.
They know if you’ve been bad or good….
Of course, we could have a parting scene in which Puck goes to thank Papa, only he has disappeared in a puff of stardust and feathers, for perchance Papa Schnorf was, after all, some sort of spirit or Angel (and perhaps an acquaintance of Phoebe’s Father).
Also, Hotdog guy is a spirit or Elf or something … okay, the allergy medicine is definitely affecting me …
I have an even more fitting goodbye for Papa Shnorf. Wait for it.
We’ll suit up because it’s going to be legen….
…dary.
Maybe his bribe was better—just who is it under the costume, now?
Well, I think that we’ll never see him outside of the costume. It’s funnier that way. But I’d initially planned it to be a short teenage boy of Cambodian descent, and that is who’s in the costume. We’ll just never see him.
The man can never live up to the uniform…
Why, thank you!
I tip my hat.
And so, this story is done. Which reminds me, JUNIOR PROM PLOT TIME!
Enh, not sure we’ll get to that one yet. Here’s the deal: I have a longish plot idea in the works which I want to end around strip 400, which will cap off Volume 2. That story arc will probably take 25 to 30 strips. Initially I was planning a junior prom plot to run BEFORE that, but this story arc is taking so long that I don’t know whether I’ll have enough comics left between these two necessary stories for a junior prom plot. I think I’m going to push the junior prom story to after strip 400. Besides, we’ve just had a bunch of Daphne/Tyler nonsense, and I think we need a change.
OMG OMG
Sounds like Tracee Topaz is coming back !
Yippee !
Say it’s so, yes, yes.
Dude, why do you jump to that conclusion? What part of that said ‘Tracee’? NO PART. Even though Tracee will probably have a small role in the upcoming mini-arc.
Aloha my sweet sprayed-on tan dream, Aloha
🙁
What do we want?
TRACEE!
When do we want her?
NOW!
TRACEE!!!! Our Lady of Bronzed Skin. She of the Golden Tresses. The Great and Voluptuous One. TRACEE!!
A new one to hate CFS. A Canadian one, even.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/04/22/mother-left-in-tears-after-being-investigated-for-letting-her-kids-play-in-backyard/
Well, they happen. “Duty to investigate,” and all. But this case was pretty stupid, I’d say.
Phone calls should go like this:
Dumb Neighbor: “There’s kids playing in the yard!!!”
CFS: “Are the kids being hurt?”
DN: “Uhm.. no. BUT, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! [also, my neighbor is prettier than me].”
CFS: *click*
Human Resources: Thank you for applying to children obduction services. Please answer the following questions with ‘leave alone’, ‘investigate’ or ‘remove’.
A report comes in that the child is being watched by a person who is uglier than the caller, skinny as a board, topples male watching a child in the yard and holding a mug of beverage.
Respondent: investigate, possible sexual abuse.
H.R.: A call comes in that a pretty mother has just let her children play outside while a strong smell of ammonia comes from nearby.
R.: Remove. Illegal drug operation.
H.R.: A child was seen falling outside while a nearby adult was on the phone.
R.: remove
Papa Shnorf saves the day! And hopefully Colin’s neck before he gets home.
More of this guy, please. 😀
He’s a cult hero for our modern time.
Save Colin’s neck if you will, but not Daphne’s! Please? She deserves at least a bruise
I’m sorry, I can’t post anymore.
Because I died.
I am in fact dead after reading this.
From laughing too hard.
(42nd comment!)
You might not be first to post, but you’re first in our hearts.
Hush up, little faerie of lore. :p Papa Shnorf is rocking awesome and you know it!
I think Puck is more in line with my wife on this one. She thinks Papa Shnorf is creepy and has politely requested to never, EVER bring him back after this. Which, if you know me, pretty much guarantees his return…
Aww, but he was so helpful, Mrs. Gecko…!
How about they come back with Miranda when she’s older she gets bullied and Papa Shnorf sticks up for her.
By that point Papa Shnorf would be a creepy old man, which would create all kinds of disturbing context.
Agreed.
People should respect the Schnorf, I mean he’s been like the most helpful guy!
Also, it looks like Miranda could get a hold of that hammer in the second panel 😀
Well, she comes from a long line of dangerous hammer wielders, so…
“You didn’t tell me you had a roommate.”
“Did I tell you I have a hammer? I have a hammer.”
It has a long and storied history.
Please bring back Papa Shnorf.
