NEW MARCH VOTING INCENTIVE!!!
That’s right! There’s a NEW St. Patrick’s Day voting incentive and it was chosen by fans! Patrons on Patreon who pledge $5 or more a month get a personal say in what incentives are coming your way! If YOU want to put your two cents in, then my HEAD ON OVER TO PATREON and join the select club!
VOTE FOR THE LUCK OF THE IRISH!
As for this comic…
I’ve decided to start uploading the new comics as hi-res images over on Patreon for those lovely people who are supporting me. So if you want to see this comic in much clearer detail, check out my Patreon feed! See the difference below!
Other than that, if you are too young and cool to know what ALF is, please don’t ask me for details. Because it will only make me feel old.
Man, I forgot about Puck for a while there. I came back at the right time though – I got to read right to the end of this arc and got a cute scene utilising the emotive ears technique. Suits me just fine.
Also, I’d like to remark that even after a full year of university you’re still the coolest teacher I’ve had – don’t let them young folk get you down.
Honestly, I love it. It’s stressful, but I read and write all day long, and I’ve had no trouble setting in and making friends. Not loving how much it costs, but c’est la vie. I’m somehow managing to not procrastinate, and the workload is probably the same as Westmount, maybe even less. At least it really did prepare me.
Alf, man. Make sure me pine for the 1980’s when society could get behind a lovable protagonist who’s primary motivation in life was to eat cats. Alf would not do well on modern social media with that habit.
I remember WAY more about ALF than I should. For instance, I remember that his home planet was Melmac. And that his girlfriend, whom he had long been separated from, was Rhonda. I remember it all. Though it really benefits me in no way.
I remember the saturday morning cartoon, well some of it. They actually ate cats in that one if I remember right. Because you know, for kids! And Happy Pi Day.
And to answer the question that I saw but for some reason yesterday chose not to answer, everything had a saturday morning cartoon. For hells sakes, Rambo had a cartoon. And one of the coolest fighter jet toys. I had one, it shot missiles across the room.
And then my mom’s friend brought her son that liked to break toys over. And I had no fighter jet that shot missiles across the room. And then he didn’t have a world where he was not in pain. It was expensive and breaking it offended me as a child that that money and my work putting it together was ruined.
It’s always good to have a comfort object and a small close range weapon in case of getting attacked in bed. For me, both objects are my fake wrestling championship belt.
It’s been said by others before, but the emotion-shading adds a lot to this story at times. Older-school elements like speed lines and stuff just wouldn’t fit but somehow the waves of color get the job done nicely in panel 3!
If you want to add that realistic feel, Puck should be angry at Colin for kissing Phoebe for the next couple days and, of course, not say why she’s angry.
They run about $30 on eBay. I just looked. Though the actual ALF plushie was considerably smaller – around 18″ long. (That’s funny. I remember it being larger. Of course, I was smaller back then.)
Don’t know if you misread my comment, or just ignored it and changed the subject, but I specifically stated that ‘I’ want to BE Phoebe’scomfort object. Is that a bad thing?
“They run about $30 on eBay. I just looked. Though the actual ALF plushie was considerably smaller – around 18″ long. (That’s funny. I remember it being larger. Of course, I was smaller back then.)
The evidence that this is NOT an everyday ALF plushie is thus confirmed.
Those that wish to replace it – be careful of what you wish for.
I can’t put the finger on it but there’s something off about Phoebe in the second panel. Her face just looks… I dunno. Different, somehow.
Still, comic made me chuckle (as per usual).
I have to admit I am curious why the ALF doll but at the same time, she’s the daughter of Satan, so she probably feels comfortable with something that looks nearly equally satanic as her father. Or more satanic. Either or.
Sometimes I draw a face, especially in a close-up, and it doesn’t look right. Then I spend an hour or more tweaking the placement of the features, skewing or altering the shape, changing it around, and sometimes – SOMETIMES – it looks right at the end of it. Sometimes it doesn’t. This one is an example of the latter.
Most of my ALF toys did not survive my childhood, but I have saved two ALF puppets which I use to entertain my toddler nieces and nephews. They think of the puppets as the puppets-that-want-to-eat-cats.
Wow, I was sure I would not get to the end without some perv…I mean lusty guy offering to be her comfort object, I guess I have been reading the “Comments” section of “Arlo and Janis” too much.
Yeah, read a few days of A&J comments, especially those by raplhyyork666, and you wil be shocked at how they can take the most mundane subjects and turn them to talking about sex. It’s not like Janis (God love her) is any kind of competition for Phloebles, or Brandi (or any other woman) in “Liberty Meadows.” Or even Abby in “Judge Parker”
Frank Cho (you can probably tell) was one of the primary inspirations for me when I created this comic strip. But yeah, of all the comics to have off-color comments, A&J would be in my ‘least likely’ column.
I have to say, also, that my comments section remains respectful largely of its own accord. I largely approve almost all the legitimate comments I get. I might replace profanity with grawlix just to keep the advertisers happy, but the comments generally make it up. So maybe Puck has a more gentlemanly readership? Maybe?
I really have no idea why Janis rouses the beast in some people. I mean, she has a cute hairdo (similar to mine :P) but, she does have kinda a muzzle and an in no way remarkable figure. Compare, for instance, “Blondie”
Blondie is another big inspiration. Note (in this very comic, even) the way that nighties always have one strap fall down in this comic. That’s an homage to Blondie.
I personally come here not to act like a sex obsessed maniac. It’s my downtime. Yeah, I get good sexy ladies, but one can’t be running around screaming sex all the time, what would the neighbors think? So I just relax here.
That’s a big reason why I never wear nighties with straps. They get all whomperjawed during the night and I wake up with the whole thing (composed of a total ot three nightgown-molecules) around my neck. So I have three of my bf’s teeshirts (that I made him throw out) that serve as nighties.
My wife agrees with you on the nightie thing. She states that they always end up around the neck, and are kind of useless. She swears by flannel PJs instead.
I only wear flannel nightgowns (not pjs) when I am mad at my bf. I am sure he will notice one of these days. I want him to say that they are hideous and he doesn’t want to touch me when I am wearing them, but all he will say is that they make me look like a little girl in them and that makes him not want to touch me because he would feel like Wicked Uncle Ernie.. Not quite right. 🙁
It’s never been established in my household that I have any say – even the slightest merest suggestion of a say – in what my wife wears to bed. I feel the broaching of such a topic at this stage in the game would be dangerous and unwise.
“I only wear flannel nightgowns (not pjs) when I am mad at my bf. I am sure he will notice one of these days. I want him to say that they are hideous and he doesn’t want to touch me when I am wearing them, but all he will say is that they make me look like a little girl in them and that makes him not want to touch me because he would feel like Wicked Uncle Ernie. Not quite right.”
Another reason to introduce Phloebles to the joys of Retail Therapy. For instance, I can take her to my seven favorite Galleria stores and introduce her to the store clerks that I know best, who send me birthday cards.. Uh, no Pheeb, not Victoria’s Secret.
There IS no Canada Express card. And American Express sucks. (Speaking as a former retail night manager. Any card that charges a 5% fee to retailers is a sucky card. There’s a reason lots of places don’t accept it, people!)
I have looked at all of the counter cards at the Galleria, and none of the take Canadian Express. I have a turquoise American Express card, but it has a low limit. Once a year, at Christmas, my bf lets me use his *Platinum* American Express Card. I have no idea how high that limit is, but I tried it once on a Travel Agency for a trip around the world. It went through! Course, I cancelled it muy pronto, but it’s nice to know. Imagine what Satan’s Amex card would be! Electrum? Diamond? Adamant? (Google says black, which is appropriate, I guess)
At a minimum, Puck must SHOW THAT SHE HAS ACCEPTED HER FRECKLES AS A PART OF HERSELF. If she realizes the value of her own family, I will consider that a bonus.
![The next question, of course, would be, "Wait! Why is your comfort object a creepy ALF doll?" Why indeed.](https://puckcomics.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/puck-381-edit.jpg "The next question, of course, would be, "Wait! Why is your comfort object a creepy ALF doll?" Why indeed.")

Also, I’d like to remark that even after a full year of university you’re still the coolest teacher I’ve had – don’t let them young folk get you down.
I’m so glad you came back to investigate! How’s university treating you?
Honestly, I love it. It’s stressful, but I read and write all day long, and I’ve had no trouble setting in and making friends. Not loving how much it costs, but c’est la vie. I’m somehow managing to not procrastinate, and the workload is probably the same as Westmount, maybe even less. At least it really did prepare me.
How have you been?
Good to hear you’re holding your own! If you find your groove, university can be a lot of fun. Heck, some people never stop going to university!
As for me, I am … same. Always the same. Always.
Haha yeah, I’m looking forward to the next few years. It should be a good experience.
And hey, as long as you like where you’re at, there’s nothing wrong with the same.
Alf in the Alf movie wanted to have stuffed toys made of him.
And in the series, a burglar mistook Alf for a talking doll — until he threatened to rip out the burglar’s voicebox and the burglar fled screaming. ;p
And in an alternate reality, it happened.
The only reality that matters.
Yes, yes, he did.
Check it out !!
ALF NEW IN BOX
(cat eating monstrosity)
its eyes are black and soulless…
Better ALF than Salemc… I mean Colin.
I make a particularly excellent TOY.
I am super snuggly, and make quips both clever and loveable.
So there.
There are many worse options.
The Colonel’s personal problem is very prone to kneading with claw points in his leg.
Phoebe’s comfort object is an ALF doll? Well, there’s only one thing I have to say about that…
HA!
I don’t think they make Beanie Babies large enough to be a Woobie.
I have never seen the term ‘Woobie’ used in that manner, but now I know. I had only heard the word used to refer to a lovable loser in fiction.
I got it from the movie “Mr. Mom” with Terri Garr and Michael Keaton. In that case the woobie was a blanket.
Mr. Mom! Man, I haven’t seen that in ages!
You kill you.
Alf, man. Make sure me pine for the 1980’s when society could get behind a lovable protagonist who’s primary motivation in life was to eat cats. Alf would not do well on modern social media with that habit.
EATS CATS !!!!
That is so wrong.
I just LOVE ALF.
@pat
“I just LOVE ALF.”
It’s the CAT-EATING THING , isn’t it ?
ISN’T IT ?!
(shudder)
Knock it off, you two – do I have to separate you?
Sure, why not. I got nothing else going on save for a 40″ HDTV and wanting a Bubba Ho-Tep DVD.
I remember WAY more about ALF than I should. For instance, I remember that his home planet was Melmac. And that his girlfriend, whom he had long been separated from, was Rhonda. I remember it all. Though it really benefits me in no way.
I remember the saturday morning cartoon, well some of it. They actually ate cats in that one if I remember right. Because you know, for kids! And Happy Pi Day.
Wait, what? There was a Saturday morning cartoon? I did not know that. I did have the comics. Probably still have some in my long boxes.
Pi day! I have to eat some pie, or I’ll consider the day wasted!
@Buggle
Love Pecan Pie, but I keep forgetting it is NOT pronounced PEE KAN.
So each time I order it, the Baker always gets huffy and shooes me out (shooes me out, as with an actual SHOE – attached to his foot).
OUCH !
@Buggle
You see, although I’m currently a NINE FOOT inflated cat, usually I’m what you call “Normal Size”.
So I have a real difficult time viewing the yummies in the Bakery Display case.
I guess I should understand the confusion when I yap Hey, Mista ! Where’s the PEE KAN ?
(groan. not all my jokes are jems)
Today, I had a meat pie for lunch, and a blueberry hand pie! Nom! 😛
For the curious (I was), THIS is Rhonda.
I might have that very edition sitting in my storage room right now. Ha! I kill me … with sexist jokes.
My human pet “Baldie” still has his original Magnus Robot Fighter comics stashed in the attic.
I’ve seen him pull them out every once in a while, and then he whimpers over his mis-spent life.
(I can sympathize.)
And to answer the question that I saw but for some reason yesterday chose not to answer, everything had a saturday morning cartoon. For hells sakes, Rambo had a cartoon. And one of the coolest fighter jet toys. I had one, it shot missiles across the room.
And then my mom’s friend brought her son that liked to break toys over. And I had no fighter jet that shot missiles across the room. And then he didn’t have a world where he was not in pain. It was expensive and breaking it offended me as a child that that money and my work putting it together was ruined.
Everyone had that friend: the friend who broke stuff. If you didn’t, then you were that friend to other people.
@Nick Manly
“Baldie” tells me about his little brother.
Little Brother was a “Toy Smasher” that came and STAYED.
…Next time I make an Avatar, I’m going with ALF.
(Thanks for reminding me he exists, EG. My childhood’s getting fuzzy on my at my age.)
It’s always good to have a comfort object and a small close range weapon in case of getting attacked in bed. For me, both objects are my fake wrestling championship belt.
A ‘My Buddy’ doll or a Cabbage Patch doll is good because they double as both: their hard plastic heads are great when used as bludgeons.
A “My Buddy”? Isn’t that the doll that was destroyed as children’s toy by the movie “Chucky”?
Yes. Yes it was.
A fake championship belt for when you’re a man on a mission, perhaps?
It’s been said by others before, but the emotion-shading adds a lot to this story at times. Older-school elements like speed lines and stuff just wouldn’t fit but somehow the waves of color get the job done nicely in panel 3!
I’m glad my weird color auras (originally inserted just to provide some visual variety and to hide shoddy backgrounds) are doing something right.
WOW !
The new VOTING INCENTIVE is simply beyond awesome .
But, but, I’m not really sure those Snakes are scared.
I think my buddy Saint Colin needs some help….
ARUGULA ! YOU FILTHY DIRTY SNAKES NEED TO …. JUST GO … NOW !!! (bastards)
(now I am exhausted)
(I missed one)
Arrr .. Snap .. Chew .. Bite .. more Bite .. DAMN .. that Snake was only MY OWN TAIL !!!!
I might have bitten it right off.
NO !!!!!!
Dude, watch where you chew!
It’s mostly g-g-gone now.
I guess I have no one to blame but myself.
(now i need a comfort object)
And now, you are tail-less once more. Truly, you are doomed to be a cat without a tail. Mebbe you can use you old tail as your new comfort object?
@Buggle
Yes, being Tail-Less seems to be my fate.
And my dismembered tail holds no comfort for me.
I do have an old mousie around here somewhere. It will have to do.
Shut up. It’ll just make you all the less sexier to those Manx babes.
@pat
“Shut up. It’ll just make you all the less sexier to those Manx babes.”
Arugula !
Safe Place – SAFE PLACE !!
(hiding now)
Do you not like the Manx babes?
@Buggle
“Do you not like the Manx babes?”
I sure do !
But pat frightens me even more than Susan.
Confession: I’m not as fierce as I appear.
First glance, I read it as “driving the shnorfs out of Ireland.” Whoa!
@Typeminer
The Leprechauns did not appreciate the competition.
That (admittedly) would be even cooler.
If you want to add that realistic feel, Puck should be angry at Colin for kissing Phoebe for the next couple days and, of course, not say why she’s angry.
In the HI-RES patreon-only pics, I can actually
seethe cat-blood dripping from the murderer’s polyester-stuffed maw.(yuk)
(no more alf, pleeze) (too scary)
Nah, Puck is not a passive-aggressive communicator. She’s just a straight aggressive communicator, and never plays coy. And that’s why I like her.
Is it bad that I want to be Phoebe’s comfort object?
They run about $30 on eBay. I just looked. Though the actual ALF plushie was considerably smaller – around 18″ long. (That’s funny. I remember it being larger. Of course, I was smaller back then.)
Don’t know if you misread my comment, or just ignored it and changed the subject, but I specifically stated that ‘I’ want to BE Phoebe’scomfort object. Is that a bad thing?
It is not a bad thing. At all. It is entirely an understandable thing.
you gotta wait in line, Thisguy… It wraps around the block… Twice!
@EG
“They run about $30 on eBay. I just looked. Though the actual ALF plushie was considerably smaller – around 18″ long. (That’s funny. I remember it being larger. Of course, I was smaller back then.)
The evidence that this is NOT an everyday ALF plushie is thus confirmed.
Those that wish to replace it – be careful of what you wish for.
Phoebe’s Daddy is watching – always….
I confess myself disturbed. Do I want to know what you’re implying?
Phoebe’s ALF was once Prince Charming.
Before, you know, the Transformation.
Huh. I never figured Phoebe for an Alf fan. ^_^ So she does have some taste.
It’s probably the nostalgia talking.
Considering Robin’s age, her comfort object would be, what, a GALILEO PLUSHIE ?
That’s nightmarish.
I dunno, I’d buy one.
@Buggle
And Einstein Plushies are readily available.
Then you could stage a Einstein vs Galileo FIGHT CLUB !
The first rule is YOU DON’T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!!
Yea, I think it’d be more like a Death Match.
I can’t put the finger on it but there’s something off about Phoebe in the second panel. Her face just looks… I dunno. Different, somehow.
Still, comic made me chuckle (as per usual).
I have to admit I am curious why the ALF doll but at the same time, she’s the daughter of Satan, so she probably feels comfortable with something that looks nearly equally satanic as her father. Or more satanic. Either or.
She isn’t wearing her glasses.
Not really bothered by the lack of glasses. It’s just something that, somehow, feels off for me.
Sometimes I draw a face, especially in a close-up, and it doesn’t look right. Then I spend an hour or more tweaking the placement of the features, skewing or altering the shape, changing it around, and sometimes – SOMETIMES – it looks right at the end of it. Sometimes it doesn’t. This one is an example of the latter.
It’s that she’s not connected at the lips to a Colin.
Welcome to my world, where every picture of every character I ever draw looks off to me.
@Kaiser
Satan collects Snorfs; his daughter collects Alf.
It all fits !
I thought there might be a slight ‘retro paraphernalia fixation’ that ran in the family.
Haaaa! I kill me!
Most of my ALF toys did not survive my childhood, but I have saved two ALF puppets which I use to entertain my toddler nieces and nephews. They think of the puppets as the puppets-that-want-to-eat-cats.
Even that is a pretty impressive survival rate for ALF toys.
Who says it’s a doll? Maybe it’s ALF himself.
He ran off to this comic after being chased from TV.
@Robert Nowall
You’re onto something.
I saw it blink.
The ALF movie was entitled Project ALF and the TV trash guy said it was awful.
I don’t know where you get your wisdom, but you speak truth.
Wow, I was sure I would not get to the end without some perv…I mean lusty guy offering to be her comfort object, I guess I have been reading the “Comments” section of “Arlo and Janis” too much.
Oh, love the ears in the last panel
The ‘Arlo and Janis’ comments section is full of that?
…Weird.
Clearly you haven’t been looking carefully enough.
Yeah, read a few days of A&J comments, especially those by raplhyyork666, and you wil be shocked at how they can take the most mundane subjects and turn them to talking about sex. It’s not like Janis (God love her) is any kind of competition for Phloebles, or Brandi (or any other woman) in “Liberty Meadows.” Or even Abby in “Judge Parker”

I have to say, also, that my comments section remains respectful largely of its own accord. I largely approve almost all the legitimate comments I get. I might replace profanity with grawlix just to keep the advertisers happy, but the comments generally make it up. So maybe Puck has a more gentlemanly readership? Maybe?
@EG
“So maybe Puck has a more gentlemanly readership? Maybe”
OMG
So that’s what we’re doing wrong !
Perhaps the fact that there are people of all genders here prevents it from happening, due to the human wish to avoid awkwardness…
I really have no idea why Janis rouses the beast in some people. I mean, she has a cute hairdo (similar to mine :P) but, she does have kinda a muzzle and an in no way remarkable figure. Compare, for instance, “Blondie”
Blondie is another big inspiration. Note (in this very comic, even) the way that nighties always have one strap fall down in this comic. That’s an homage to Blondie.

This cat knows a MINEFIELD when he sees one.
Heh, whatever. Flannel means no whoop-de-do at our house.
Clark Kent style glasses are the 1’s I like best.Those are the kind Sci-Twi wears.
Okay, I voted. Why no Snake Plissken, (from “Escape From New York ” http://www.themarysue.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/snaaaaaaaaake.jpeg)one of my favs. I am a big Kurt Russel fan.
I got lazy. And really, I’d thrown in two 80’s snakes, so I thought I’d go with a more recent snake. You know, for the kiddies.
Some of us would think there were two Solid Snakes. Or two Snake Plisskens.
Exactly. I mean, one is sorta derivative of the other.
Puck made it all the way to Phoebe’s room before realizing she’d been dreaming?
Sometimes the rage takes over and blinds you.
I volunteer to be Phoebe’s comfort object! (I’m pretty hairy, and can get a nose job if needed…:P )
Aaaand, here it is…
@Susan
When I saw this I was going to warn you, but, you yourself anticipated it by a good 2-1/2 hours head start.
(and mebe i’m just bitter I didn’t post it first)
You knew it was coming.
Well, I am a sailor (retired) after all. It’s kind of expected of us, you know. lol
My gentlemanly deceased father resents that remark! Take it back, before he turns in his grave!
Besides, I like low hanging fruit. It’s easy to reach and usually the sweetest. 😛
And actually SalemCat, considering your past comments on here, I’m surprised you didn’t beat me to the punch-line. lol
SalemCat only beats people to the punch on that sort of thing when Tracee is in the comic. If not, he’s relatively restrained.
@Hernshound
THAT’S what I was sayin’ !
But being in my NINTH LIFE, I’ve learned a thing or two.
The joke would be just as funny if you made it, and I would not have to take the heat for being a “creepy perv” (this time).
@EG
Electric Gecko DID appoint me PRESIDENT of the TRACEE FAN CLUB some time ago.
He knew what he was doing.
🙂
Plus, Salem’s remarks tend to be *slightly* less overt in nature.
*Slightly.*
Don’t you mean saltiest?
What about “Thisguy’s” comment about wanting to be Phoebe’s comfort object?
@Buggle: Thisguy is currently waiting in line for that. It wraps around the block… twice.
I WAS in line, but I needed a nap, and lost my place.
@DLKmusic
I’m relieved you’ve lost your place.
Not because I desire Phoebe; my heart lies elsewhere.
But because I suspect that Alf Plushie just may have been a former suitor; one that DAD did not approve of.
@SalemCat: That is… disturbingly probable.
How about the line of girls wanting Phleebs to steal her dad’s American Express card and spend the day at the Galleria?
@Susan
“How about the line of girls wanting Phleebs to steal her dad’s American Express card and spend the day at the Galleria?”
Can your imagine the abject Horror on the faces of those bints when they realize Phoebe sews her own clothes ? !!
Coming from a generation (both of men and women), that are incapable of even re-attaching a loose button, they will be permanently scarred.
The only store they might wish to tail Phoebe to is Dior, but I have a theory on that as well.
You see, Leprechauns have been known, from time immemorial, as the most excellent of COBBLERS.
I’m betting Phoebe has an arrangement, where in trade for shoes, she fashions stunning nighties for Leprechaun Colleens.
Her family does have connections.
Another reason to introduce Phloebles to the joys of Retail Therapy. For instance, I can take her to my seven favorite Galleria stores and introduce her to the store clerks that I know best, who send me birthday cards.. Uh, no Pheeb, not Victoria’s Secret.
@ Susan
“How about the line of girls wanting Phleebs to steal her dad’s American Express
card and spend the day at the Galleria? ”
Susan, wouldn’t Phoebe’s be a CANADA EXPRESS card ?
There IS no Canada Express card. And American Express sucks. (Speaking as a former retail night manager. Any card that charges a 5% fee to retailers is a sucky card. There’s a reason lots of places don’t accept it, people!)
It’s technically *North* American. And I think Phoebe does shop for things – though I imagine she sometimes refines them with her stitchery madness.
I think the thing with the Leprechauns sounds like something she’d do.
@Buggle
Note to self: next year suggest a Voting Incentive where Phoebe trades with the Leprechauns – PUMPS FOR NIGHTIES
(sounds a bit like something Rumpelstiltskin would be in on, doesn’t it ?)
I have looked at all of the counter cards at the Galleria, and none of the take Canadian Express. I have a turquoise American Express card, but it has a low limit. Once a year, at Christmas, my bf lets me use his *Platinum* American Express Card. I have no idea how high that limit is, but I tried it once on a Travel Agency for a trip around the world. It went through! Course, I cancelled it muy pronto, but it’s nice to know. Imagine what Satan’s Amex card would be! Electrum? Diamond? Adamant? (Google says black, which is appropriate, I guess)
@Susan
I’d like to imagine Satan’s Canada Express card is RED, and is permanently On Fire, making it unlikely to be stolen.
Or loaned to his gf (Tracee, remember?) at Chrismastime. My bf trusts me, but he checks his statements
ha so her losing her freakles and going bimbo was all a dream that was funny
We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
FIVE WEEKS, Gecko.
@Buggle
You must admit EG is trying real hard to endear Robin to Puck fans again.
Note that I maintain the PUCK Comic merely includes Robin. And that the comic can and did survive quite nicely without her.
@Buggle
Mebe Robin should volunteer at a Soup Kitchen ?
Would that get EG off your hook ?
NO.
At a minimum, Puck must SHOW THAT SHE HAS ACCEPTED HER FRECKLES AS A PART OF HERSELF. If she realizes the value of her own family, I will consider that a bonus.
@Buggle
In other words, you’re campaigning for BEWB FRECKLES !
And for Colin to Get Lucky !
HOORAY !!
Funny St Patrick’s Day Gag over at AMPHIBIAN.COM today.
Anyone else notice any Saint Patrick’s Day shenanigans that might amuse fellow PUCK Fans ?
Ummm, Phoebles, erm, “beguiling” a leprechaun, stealing his pot o’ credit cards, and treating me to a shopping spree?
Oh, well, I can dream
@Susan
Phoebe is more honest than the day is long (Daddy wonders where he went wrong).
You’d be far better cozying up to Tracee.
Spray Tan, anyone ?

I”m going to go vomit and then wash my hair (kudos Mary Kay Place and Jeff Goldblum in :The Big Chill”.)
Oh, re: Ariel 51: the guy in the sweater vest is VERY annoying,
The background designs and colors wow. Seriously a great choice against the subtle blends.
I just go with what looks good. The way I do these, it’s really easy to play around and test out different colours, so then I go with what works.
Why does Phoebe have an Alf doll? Because there’s no accounting for taste. (TNAFT for short.). 😉
Exactly. I mean, who doesn’t like ALF? They obviously don’t have very good taste if they don’t.
