VALENTINE'S DAY VOTING INCENTIVE IS HERE!
I take no responsibility for this one. This is a concept hatched by one of my fine patrons on Patreon and then promptly seconded by a few other fine patrons, so I felt compelled to draw it. I totally did not actively choose to draw this image due to its inherent fun factor. And the fact that I wanted to draw it. Totally nothing to do with me.
VOTE TO TRY THE CATNIP!
As for this comic...
Not much to say, other than to note that I realized when working on this comic that Hannah must be tiny. I mean, we've mostly seen her standing next to Daphne, and Daphne is not tall. Daphne is about four inches shorter than Puck and Phoebe, and Hannah is another four inches shorter than that, so ... that makes Hannah a whopping five foot nothing. That's short.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Quick question about the voting incentive (Which is AMAZING, btw): I noticed that Emily bears a great resemblance to Tracee. Are they by any chance related? Or maybe Emily is Tracee’s geek alter ego! Is that it? I’m just curious
Yeah, she’s got a similar complexion. Slightly different build – longer, thinner than Tracee. Not the same person. Could be related? We already heard that Tracee has a bunch of younger sisters, so…
When was Emily in the strip? I don’t really remember her.
She popped up here: https://puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-431
You can also see her in the background of the following few comics. Not much of an appearance, but some people never forget.
Thanks! I read more webcomics than I ought, so forget these things.
I have no idea how you could possibly forget a one-off character from a single comic that ran two years ago. No idea at all. 😉
@EG
“some people” ?
snort
What is this comic rated? Did whatever Hannah suggested to Daphne need to be censored to maintain that rating? I am entranced and intrigued, as I’m guessing Tyler might be if Daphne can bring herself to do whatever Hannah has just suggested.
Maybe too dangerous for the universe; definitely so hot and outgoing that she’s borderline frightening.
It’s not censorship, exactly. It’s more “hiding things from the audience to maintain a sense of surprise or mystery” kind of thing.
🙂
good call gecko, it’s working!
Also, not saying it out loud increases Daphne’s chaqnce of actually pulling it off, as per the “Unspoken Plan Guarantee” trope.
Not that she’s incapable of failing anyway, because if this family displays excellence in anything, it’s snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Exactly. If we were in on the plan, it couldn’t go according to plan.
Schrodinger’s plan?
Not exactly. Schrodinger’s plan would both succeed and not succeed as long as we didn’t learn what the plan was. In this case, not opening the box ensures success, while opening the box ensures failure. It’s more a Pandora’s Narrative Box, really.
I should have called it “Chekhov’s Plan” then… lol
Come on Daffy.
You have the EQUIPMENT.
You’ve teased Tyler far too long.
Now now. No equipment needs to be used here. This is a simple situation that calls for communication.
Always beware the tiny ones.
They can sneak up on you.
My headcanon is that she’s talking about the “Dirty Dancing” catch, as demonstrated earlier by Phoebe and Papa Shnorf.
This may or may not be entirely off-base.
Size ain’t everything, as you said, EG. The most absolutely stunning young woman I ever knew stood just an inch less than five feet tall with an absolutely perfectly-proportioned all-of-her, and the personality to go with it.
True enough. Though honestly, I’m often a little confused by the stature of some women. In my life, the women are mostly tall. The concept that a fully grown adult can be only five feet tall is … odd to me. Not bad. Just odd.
When I was in basic training, I saw a girl who was five foot nothing. And since this was basic training, she was bare minimum 18 years old.
Oh, they exist. I teach many girls under five feet tall. Not many sign up for basic training, though.
What do you teach?
High school English. Mostly grade twelve. Mostly the AP courses and more advanced stuff.
Love this page, Geck, but to be honest, I’m still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing that voting incentive!
People seem to like this one. Not sure what’s putting this incentive image over the top, but if you’re happy, I’m happy.
Well, one thing that definitely stands out to me anyway, is that I can only think of one pic of Phoebe that I thought was sexier, which was when she was the “Distraction” in the hospital…
Guys dig cat-girls… no rhyme, no reason, we just do! I think it’s in our DNA…
I am thrilled that you have instant memory recall for pics of Phoebe which you deem sexy.
what can I say… I’m a guy!
Climbing into the boys bedroom window?
CLUES:
1. Daphne is surprised you can do it
2. Eyesight would be an asset
3. Hannah is ok with it
4. Ty would like it but would never ask Daphne for it
PRELIMINARY CONCLUSIONS:
1. It is something legal [Daphne already knows about crime]
2. It does not have to be done in the dark [It could also involve projectiles but let’s skip that]
3. It is edgy, but not intrinsically evil
4. It does not directly contradict Ty’s rejection of her, but approaches his heart by a well-worn path
THEREFORE, A PREDICTION:
Daphne brings Ty a pizza with pineapple
Well, Hawaiian pizza DOES meet all of those criteria. True. And Hawaiian pizza is a distinctly Ontario dish, invented around Chatham by a Greek restauranteur. So the whole world can blame us, if they wish.
@EG
I love pineapple, even on Pizza.
Which reminds me – Chinese Restaurants were famous for offering Pineapple titbits with Toothpicks, at the end of the meal. For decades.
But now, never.
That is before my time. Or something that didn’t ever happen in my neck of the woods.
@EG
Do people up north eat TIDBITS OR DO THEY prefer TITBITS ?
I’d had both, but LOATHE the taste of one, and ADORE the flavor of the other.
I won’t ask you to divulge which is which.
Most of the women in my family are quite short and, like Hannah, very intimidating. Several years ago, my extremely diminutive grandmother (standing tall at 4’10”) chased a burglar out of the house armed with a candlestick as if it were a light saber.
Always beware the tiny ones. They have low centers of gravity.
No surprise the voting pic is popular; twice the presence of fantasy females results in twice the pleasure.
Well, one and a half times. Emily is only partially in frame. (And if anyone thinks I actually drew the rest of Emily, I did not. Never draw any more than is required of you. Ever.
Ah, but will he respect her after she pss pss…?
Rather a reversal of fortune here, methinks. A reversal of something, anyway.
A reversal of something? That sounds … backwards.
I am SO reminded of when Elan explained that you can’t announce your plan out loud if you want it to work. This is looking good for Tylor. 🙂 O.K., Daphne.
You know, small people can be fierse. When Nanni rescued X, she dragged him and he was a big and strong lad and could cary Nanni like she was nothing.
Does Hannah have the good of the world in mind, or has she decided yet?
Hannah is decidedly Chaotic Good.
Oh, good, she HAS decided. I feel a lot safer now.
😉
It’s not just the other physical senses that are enhanced in ‘challenged’ people, their sense of morality is also higher.
Gecko, you must have some experience with that enhancement.
My own experiences with the ‘challenged’ agrees fully with the depiction.
Emily vs. Phoebe- oh, how the fur will fly! 😉
Fake fur fly.
After spending some time away from the US, I finally got back.
I used to comment here as “Valkeiper2012”, but somehow, that name is not open to me.
Anyway, Gecko is still doing an excellent job.
Obviously, he has experienced how ‘challenged’ folk operate (I can’t called them “handicapped”-wouldn’t be fair).
As he has noted. while one sense may be challenged, the other senses enhanced as compensation.
But so does their sensitivity to other people’s plight and their desire to help.
excellent work, Gecko.
Welcome back, friend. And the 2012 name WILL work. I don’t know why the site held it for approval but it’s live now.
I am glad you feel Hannah is a fair rep of a blind person. She is vaguely modeled on the mother of a childhood friend. This lady wasn’t quite as spicy as Hannah, let’s say, but she always surprised me with her insights, her humor and her uncanny ability to do things I would have assumed impossible.
You effortlessly fill me with dread.
You have no faith. None!
Three cheers for three appears byt he lonely little flower.
It’s a dandelion. There are lots of dandelions everywhere around here. Sometimes lonely. Often with friends. But drawing a more realistic number of dandelions (like, 150?) might get a little tedious, so I draw one.
@EG, Apparently, Emily resents Phoebe’s HORNING IN on her territory. 😉
HAH!!!
