PHOEBRUARY VOTING INCENTIVE! A "NEW" VOTING INCENTIVE EVERY FEW DAYS! Back in February of 2015, I declared the month 'Phoebruary' and ran a retrospective of a bunch of voting incentive images featuring our beloved Phoebe. Well, years have passed, and I've got many more images to explore, so get ready! Every few days I'll pop another Phoebruary image up - now with post-it note commentary! Try not to miss a one! A VOTE FOR PUCK IS A VOTE FOR PHOEBE! As for this comic... Seeing as he's the lord of darkness, Satan really is quite bad at deception. Either that or he's really bad at telling the truth?

    more or less plausible lies aside, i noticed that miranda has evolved past merely slobbering over the papar towels but has taken a rather hefty bite out of one – cue pap-mache vomit?

    TRACEEE looks totally HOT HOT HOT !

    (nose too)

    Purrrrrrrr…………

    • ElectricGecko

      I am glad you approve. I paid special attention to the nose this time.

        Just doin’ my duty as Official President (for life) of the TRACEEE Fan Club.

        Membership Dues begin at just $1 a Month (a bargain!) and can be remitted at the PUCK PATREON site.

        Proceeds help keep EG flush with LEGO’s.

    Monkey bears … Kinkajous!

    They mostly eat figs (not bananas), but they do eat honey when offered.

      I like how, within that one article, that dang animal is referred to by all sorts of hybrid descriptors like ‘honey bears’, ‘lion monkeys’ and ‘monkey bears’. But no, I’m imagining these monkey bears to be decidedly … different. Less cute. More ferocious. If they actually exist.

  • Brother Parvus

    Miranda has become my favorite Easter-eggerish in this comic.

  • Thisguy

    Monkey-bears. Sounds like the work of a mad geneticist. They’re more common than you think. Probably attacking out of some imagined slight. In times like this, it’s the Mayor’s key job to use his hotline to contact the local superheroes.

    • ElectricGecko

      Well, I’m sure the sewer treatment plant smells really good to noted scavengers like monkey bears. Probably just a crime of opportunity. Though possibly revenge.

  • Kaiser

    I will be somewhat disappointed if we don’t see those “Monkey Bears” in person, EG.
    I realize it likely won’t happen but come on, that sounds amazing!
    Now I’m curious if we’ll just swap back to the prom and it’s mid-fight or they’re still trying to deal with Daphne presumably wanting to attack a blind person…
    …I’d say either way is a win. Same goes for if we find out that Tracee SOMEHOW gets accepting of Miranda. Somehow.

      Satan dealing with Monkey Bears as a future voting incentive? EG, you know what you must do! Be the hero we need, not the one we deserve!

      • ElectricGecko

        This request is predicated on the concept that we will not see this in the course of the comic. Which is not guaranteed.

  • Sigurther

    Banana honey sounds delicious. I have decided that I now identify as a monkey-bear. I’m headed off to the other side of town to attack the sewage treatment plant now, tah-tah!

  • ChrisH

    Oh, my! You’d think after millennia of doing it, Old Scratch would be better at lying! I guess Traces put him on the spot!

  • Joe Fonebone

    In panel two, is Tracee showing fangs?

  • Commander Clash

    Hey! It’s a plausible lie! You can never trust science nowadays maybe Satan with some mad scientist had an ursine-simian crossbreed that he wasn’t going to tell the public at large about.

  • Then flush those paper towels and build a security barrier across the sewer pipes to the mansion. You’ll never be able to flush again, but you’ll be secure.

  • demarion

    Banana honey . . . give him credit, he’s keeping his bad excuse consistent . . . also, where can I get banana honey, that sounds like it might be tasty . . . although, come to think of it, send Miranda to deal with the monkey bears, hey if Satan can’t handle her monkey bears haven’t a chance!

  • Someone’s banana is not gonna be getting any honey, if ya know wut I mean (…gotta keep this family friendly)

  • Buggle

    Even Miranda doesn’t buy that.

  • Such an explosive voting incentive!

    Hot, radioactive hot!

  • Brother Parvus

    Phoebe’s skin tone as Cruella reminds me of one of the sustained puns in the Gerrold/Niven novel The Flying Sorcereors, which I re-read at least annually.

  • Not related to the comic, but I saw a Tim Horton’s near my brother’s house in Ohio yesterday.

    • ElectricGecko

      They’re spreading. Well, kinda. It’s the result of that weird super-big mega corporation that owns them. It’s a Brazilian conglomerate that owns Burger King, Tim Hortons, Popeye’s, and more. And they’re using the collective leverage of the companies to spread the brands into areas where they didn’t have a foothold. So Popeye’s, for instance, which NEVER existed in Canada, has completely taken over Ontario. I, for one, am happy, because I love Popeye’s and go there WAY too often now. Tim Horton’s, meanwhile, is encroaching further into the US. There were always a few in border areas, and in upstate New York and those kinds of close-to-Canada locations, but now they’re stretching down into states like Ohio. It’s Roll Up the Rim to Win time, so I recommend stopping by! (It’s a seasonal contest where you can actually win stuff. I have personally won, over the past two decades, hundreds of coffees and donuts, a full camping setup including huge tent, cooler, barbecue, lamp and sleeping bags, and a $100 Tim’s gift card. No joking.

      • I don’t drink coffee or eat doughnuts, so Tim Horton’s has nothing to offer to me. I’ll tell my friends and family, though.

      • SalemCat

        @EG

        I love POPEYE’S.

        They had one right by SALEM STATE UNIVERSITY.

        But it folded due to lack of business.

        Something is desperately wrong wid those kids.

        • ElectricGecko

          Up here, Popeye’s is muscling in on KFC’s territory and, from what I’ve seen, KFC is on the ropes. While I have a soft spot for KFC, I admit that I rarely go there. One of the draws of Popeye’s is the great white meat tenders that, all said and told, aren’t that unhealthy: 330 cals for a three piece serving. That’s a fine lunch for me with a Tim Hortons coffee. With KFC, I can feel my arteries clogging with every bite.

  • notStanley

    In some mythos, the deal as “Prince of Lies” was that he always told _a_ truth.

  • pat

    Would it matter if he didn’t tell the truth with the associated question? I mean, he’d give the answer to inquiry 5 for question 2,764,985.
