NEW VOTING INCENTIVES THROUGHOUT JUNE READER’S CHOICE 2016!!!
There's a new voting incentive up on TWC! It’s READER’S CHOICE 2016! Where I take the suggestions from YOU, the reader (or some other weirdo) and turn them into sketches or finished pics! A new one’s up this week, so check it out!
CLICK HERE TO MAKE LEARNING FUN!
As for this comic…
Thus concludes the Great Shnorf Debacle, and we find out the reason for the whole escapade. I think we can safely say that few saw this coming, but few will be overly surprised.
And just to be clear, in this universe you CAN go back on a deal with the devil. He’s kind of a pushover, really. And yes, Satan IS using a vintage Motorola cell phone from the 80's. Because he's rad.

Ah, so here lie the last pieces of the plot. Well played, sir. Well played.
I should make a reference to the make-up that green-skinned Orion Slave Babes wear, but instead I’m going to mention that I like the word “Schnorfabilia.” It’s a collective noun like “mud” or “snow.”
I really wish you’d made that reference to the Orion Slave Babes. But now it’s too late.
In the same way that a line of graffiti is a graffito, a piece of schnorfabilia is a “schnorfabilium” (Latin) or “schnorfabilion” (Greek). If Schnorfabilia (the plural) comes from Latin, it agrees with a plural verb, but, if from Greek, a singular verb, since neuter plurals take a singular verb (ie “they is.”)
Sorry, I ran out of room to write about Green-Skinned Orion Slave Babes. Pointless pedantry takes priority.
*cheers you up
Well, maybe Daphne should just put Satan in touch with Papa Shnorf… and which of those two would Tracee prefer, anyway?
Thanks for catching the typo. And let’s not think about things like … what you’re asking us to think about.
“That always cheers you up” is a statement of perfect grammar in the good old USA.
Though to be perfectly honest, it would be ok with me if Tracee only grunted from this point onwards……..
It was “That always cheer you up” before I changed it. Which was a typo.
Oh God, my eyes! my eyes !!! I will never make fun of RAF tartan plaid or RCAF tartan plaid again !!!! You could not have picked a worse plaid combination than those poor school girls with that brown with yellow plaid….
Thank God I went to Public School…
You’re welcome.
This would have been the perfect spot to say ‘I almost got sent to the pound!’
I’m disappointed, ElectricGecko.
Well, I’ll throw the disappointment on the disappointment pile I’ve got behind my house. Getting pretty big anymore. Like Mount Etna back there.
Only Mount Etna? Not Mount Everest?
I’m disappointed, ElectricGecko.
Where are you in relation to the Niagara Escarpment? Up the hill? A pile of disappointment similar to that would still be impressive compared to a volcano.
Well, no, I’m currently not up the hill. I can just pile the disappointment against the escarpment and make a little ramp.
She is holding the phone an equal distance from both her mouth and her ear, so there is that.
It has a certain shaky logic to it.
This would have been the perfect spot to say ‘I almost got sent to the pound!’
Or returned to the Toronto Zoo Jackal Adventure.
No.
It’s a wonder why Daphne didn’t get a percentage (non refundable) up front.
Maybe she did.
Is it Vince Neil or Nikki Sixx that he’s got on speed dial?
Nikki Sixx. Though I bet Vince Neil’s on there too. And all the guys from Poison.
You know, you never looked so good. .
PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!
Somehow, I knew when Tracee showed up in the last panel, that would be your response
Wouldn’t you like to see her GREEN ?
I KNOW I would.
Voting Incentive !!!
Um, no, that’s your department
Haha! I’m currently watching ‘Hercules’ (1983) with Lou Ferrigno.
It, basically, has Lou running around ‘Incredible Hulking’ everything – and lots of things that are green and reflect that green onto Lou.
Subtly is not in this director’s vocabulary.
“Wouldn’t you like to see her GREEN ?
I KNOW I would.
Voting Incentive !!!”
Well, I’ll be….
EG did implement a Voting Incentive of mine, with Satan painting Tracee GREEN.
And I forgot to thank him.
THANKS !!
Your ‘Colin Drives the Snakes from Ireland’ concept is also dropping this week. I just forgot to tell you.
@EG
Begorrah !
‘Tis a bonny day.
And here I was thinking for a minute that she might have been trying to steal it for Miranda, and surprise us all!
Hmmmfffh… no surprises here, I’m afraid!
If you go into every encounter with Daphne expecting some shred of altruism, you will forever be disappointed.
True story, my friend, true story!
I want that Nuzlocke Life t-shirt as much as I want to see Daphne play a Nuzlocke
Didn’t think they were on speaking terms.
You learn something new every day. I think it only occurs when money is involved.
Well I’M sleeping with the lights on tonight…
Was it the marionette?
And here I though Daphne was just doing t for kicks, though I should have expected a monetary motive. The fact that it’s Satan, unexpected, but not surprising considering he’s one of the few reoccurring characters.
If the deal was only Shnorf for money, I think Daphne’s safe, so long as there is no clause that says backing out of the deal forfeits your soul.
This Satan seems very unconcerned with souls. Shnorfs are more where it’s at. And who can blame him?
If we swap out souls for shnorfs then, “I’LL SWALLOW YOUR SHNORF!”, turns ‘Army of Darkness’ into a completely different movie.
Ew.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Been looking back through the comments sections. I almost peed myself reading this one.
He seemed interested enough in corrupting a pair of teenagers…
Indeedy Do !
Right Here: https://puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-239
Does she KNOW it’s the Satan? I know she knows him personally but he might’ve contacted her over internet and pretend to be someone else.
I’d say Daphne knows all and sees all. Most people of her generation have that power.
I love that Satan chooses to use a signature Zack Morris edition cellular telephone for all his nefarious dealings… or rather, “Schnorfarious” dealings.
It’s the only kind of cellphone the Lord of Darkness would use, I feel.
I laughed way too hard at the punchline.
I assumed she was planning on selling it for a while, but at the same time, I also thought that she just wanted one for shpits and giggles.
And to be honest, I agree with Satan – if you’re going to be a crazed fan, you might as well go all the way and actually get some unique piece that you can flaunt in the face of other fans and say “Haha, I got this piece and you don’t!” (How you obtained it may vary, legally or not).
The best collector’s items are always obtained illegally.
Now you have to make an incentive of Tracee dressed up as a schnorf…
You know it, brother!
A great punch line is one that is both surprising and inevitable: Satan as the author of the Plot!
I loved the many layers of the reveal, especially the mental whipsawing between the collection of Schnorfabilia (….that Girl Schnorf!…) and “Paint Me Green”
If I can manage even a passable punch line, I’m happy.
Pffffffffffffffft!
I got spit on me.
And cereal.
@Buggle
The world needs a Cereal based on Satan.
Kellogg’s should be up to it.
With Marshmallow Bits from HADES !!!
“They’re Hellishly Delicious !”
NefariO’s, mmmmm, Tastes like original sin! “They’re hellishly delicious!
@CH
NEFARIO’S !!
With delightful marshmallow Trinkets: Cinnamon Flames, Chili-Pepper Horns, and NEW Mystery-Flavor Nibbles.
With EXTRA ASBESTOS to prepare you worthless little brats for your inevitable fates !
Too bad the lizard is a Commie. This comic sux and the author should be glad that MY nation exists so that HIS “nation” could happen. Real easy to be snarky when you never had to fight for anything. Delete this.
@CH
Jeez !
OMG OMG
Where’s ComedyHobo ?
I hope the Railroad Yard Bull hasn’t collared him.
Hopefully he’s safe and sound somewhere, snoring under a fine Woolen Army Surplus Blanket.
(Baldie brought one home from the service, and he loves it. And so do I.)
Concerning several posts in which I succumbed to chat rage I feel I must make several apologies.
Firstly: ElectricGecko, I apologise for saying that your comic sux. I apologise for calling you a Commie, and disparaging your country. I’ve been dealing with some pretty serious personal problems for awhile now, and I let my temper get the best of me. And I know it makes me sound like a complete lunatic but I actually DO say that kinda stuff to people’s faces. I have no excuses other than a pretty severe temper that really comes out when I feel insulted. I took something you said WAY too personally. For that I apologise.
Secondly: I apologise to everyone that reads the comments and this comic. No one wants to hear/see that crap. This SHOULD be a pleasant and enjoyable experience. If I detracted from that with my fit of chat-rage I apologise.
Thirdly: I shall refrain from further posts and simply lurk till such time as EG sees fit to reinstate my posting privileges.
Dude, no problems. In the eyes of most Americans, I would definitely qualify as a raving pinko, so calling me a Commie is really (depending on your view) at least somewhat accurate.
And please know that I appreciate the extra effort you take to comment. Not many people do that.
DAMN IT ! You don’t look PINK at all !!
My Monitor SUCKS, Rain SUCKS, Pink Tuna SUCKS, Sushi SUCKS, Canadians are ok (I guess).
(channelling ComedyHobo)
You know, that felt kind of good. But I frightened myself – a little. I’m going to hide under the bed for a while.
More and more, this Satan seems more and more like a “Satan” out of Super Sentai, and not, in fact, the actual Devil. No real power, pretending to actually be evil, big old dork.
The only thing he’s really missing is a giant monster form.
He was kinda working on those parts.
You know having that piece (and a few other hard to come by) would have allowed him to conduct a eldritch Ritual to summon a undefeatable 400-meter super snorf under his full control.
That is if he would have been willing to take some of the items out of thier package, reducing thier value greatly.
That would be awesome. Heck, that’s so awesome, it might warrant me drawing that some day.
He’s only the Satan of Canada – and even then only the English-Speaking part.
He convinced Eve to eat the poutine of knowledge.
He really does have a lot of Lord Zed in him, now that I think about it. Good observation.
This does nothing to debunk my theory that Funderland’s Shnorf tunnel is in fact the feeding ground of demonic entities who devour the odd visitor in return for providing the park owners with wealth and success… 0_0
No, no it doesn’t.
By the way…what’s “up the river” from wherever they are?
Not much, seeing are there are no major rivers in the area.
Perhaps the St. Lawrence Seaway? “Up the River” would then be … the United States.
Groan. It’s true. Daphne would be welcomed. The USA is not picky.
Given Satan’s proclivities, I would think he would paint Tracee blue…not green. Admittedly my experience with kink is tenuous
Keep it tenuous. It’s best that way.
Huh,
Ew.
That is an appropriate response.
Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9.
Gecko, you got your ears on? I got my book in the mail on wednesday. Over good buddy.
Oh hey! You bought a book! Cool! That’s the first book sale I’ve made in … a year! I do hope you like it, though. I’m biased, but I think it’s a pretty nice book, all said and told.
“ARUGULA!!” (that’s how I scream) that sux.
If Trump wins I’ll buy a book – Paw Promise.
Now come, Hillary Supporters, someone pledge to buy a book if she wins.
Help the Gecko out !
In that case, I’d rather not make the sale.
Awww…
I’m sorry to make the Gecko uncomfortable.
BREXIT made me so happy I fell right overboard.
Please delete my last two comments.
It’s best for all.
You guys are why I got a Gravatar.
Hell yeah! My boy is back!!!
Totally didn’t know there was more to this situation than mere misadventure 😀
He was WAY overdue for a reappearance.
Somehow I missed this installment until now–[Strange Abbreviation Denoting Laughter]!
The hovertext reminds me of a cartoon I saw where Mickey Mouse was using a phone in a similar Catch-22 manner.
It’s seriously a problem. I mean, even the complexity of speaking into the phone and listening is overly complicated. You’d have to move it up and down constantly. I’m going to believe that Daphne (and probably Mickey) have good enough hearing that they can hold the phone to the side of their head and hear clearly.
