It’s hand drawn for every scene, Fred.
NO REPEATS!
Gecko, I’m curious, are these enough to produce a type of animation?
Nah, the poses I drew don’t really line up as key frames of a run cycle. And I didn’t draw them as animators do, drawing one over the other in layers. So they’d make for a pretty janky run cycle if animated.
They wanted to be “Scooby-Doo” characters. Limited animation is what you get.
Exactly. It’s just part of the experience.
Well, you drew the whole legs in motion instead of the standard swoosh circle below the torso implying speed. That’s impressive.
Honestly, drawing people running is NOT easy. I see why animators sometimes resort to the swoosh.
Ah … this always reminds me of one of my old nightmares … the never ending hotel hallway (⊙⊙)(☉_☉)(⊙⊙) …
I used to live in a weirdly designed apartment building where the main hall on every floor was about half a kilometre long. If you were at the one end, it honestly did look like an endless hallway. Kind of terrifying.
Ah, the old Hotel California dream;
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
Ah Puck! Her in-universe explanation for the background loop is that she’s too self-centered ever to have noticed differences between trees. So characteristic! After all, what has a tree ever done for her?

Puck got a slightly faster start, but Colin is passing her. He doesn’t have to outrun The Dougie, he just has to outrun HER!

I hope Miranda is enjoying the ride, cradled in the arms of The Dougie as it tries to return her. It’s always fun to watch parents do silly things!
Well, we all know where Miranda will end up. And that shoe will drop next week.
Such opinion on trees may be little weird for FAIRY, but we already know Puck is not typical fairy …
What, you’re saying not all fairies are underachievers? Who’d have known?
Must’ve been a big spat between the fairies and the dryads once upon a time.
Is that who Paula was? I’d assumed she was just a generic Canadian soap opera character.
Fun fact: there is no such thing as a Canadian soap opera. There are Mexican soaps, Aussie soaps, but no Canadian soaps. We’re not a very melodrama-loving nation.
You got the initial high-knee-leaning-back-accelerating pose in the first panel (Legs – don’t fail me now!), the parallel outstretched arms in the second, and the looking background through all three. Quite the accomplishment in a 4-panel strip!
And as @rewinn mentioned – you don’t have to be the fastest, but you have to be faster than the slowest… lol
Well, I think that when fear is the motivator, Colin would be faster than Puck. His fear response is more frequently exercised. If it were rage that were fuelling Puck, then she’d be able to potentially break the sound barrier. As it is, though, in this case I’m betting on Colin.
Not looping, those are different rocks in each panel.
Panel one has the same bg as panel three and ditto panels two and four.
Guess the search for Miranda’s out the window.
Well, delayed by monster.
Miranda’s newest words — “Lemme at ’em.”
Horrific.
Probably not the case, as there has been little to no indication of it… but imagine if Miranda has inherited some sort of fey transformation or illusionary magic…
I think magic baby would break the comic.
All babies are magic. They charm us into doing absurd things for them; they transform small amounts of food into huge quantities of poop; but most importantly they instill in us an enormous amount of good good feelings that enable their parents to get through the teenage years somehow.
Puck’s skirt got longer.
Not now Colin. There’s running to be done and, as noted by experts, the important thing is Away.
The length of a skirt is: long enough. Depending upon the series, of course. But we are family friendly here.
Puck’s skirt varies somewhat in length depending on the needs of the panel and common decency.
And Puck conveniently forgets to look for where her child is.
She’ll remember next comic.
The highway to Thompson, Manitoba. Miles and miles of miles and miles of trees and trees and trees and trees and trees . . . I am convinced anybody who routinely drives that stretch gets hazard pay. Having traveled both it and the Saskatoon to Regina stretch, I cannot decide which is the most mind-numbing.
So much of driving across Canada is an interminable drive through sameness. Each individual view is often breathtaking and starkly beautiful, but when it goes on and on for hours that turn into days, it chips away at your sanity.
I have not driven Manitoba. It’s one of the few provinces I haven’t. It’s on my bucket list.
I know a video of a guy and his wife driving from B.C. to N.S. because he was moving there.
“but when it goes on and on for hours that turn into days, it chips away at your sanity.” Truth! This is why The Dougie is needed; with it, sanity is saved . . . . . . . and I rather feel The Dougie is looking at the backs of Puck and Colin, and is saying to Miranda “Wow. You weren’t kidding!”
I like the name of your booze factory. Classy indeed!
I keep it classy up in this joint.
Puck looks great in her picture! (Pour la chapeau, pour la victoire!) 😉
I try to celebrate in style.
At first, I thought Colin was breaking the fourth wall (addressing the readers). But I see he’s looking at Puck not us. (Just a notion I’d like to share.)
Still a bit of a meta moment nonetheless.
I never met a meta I didn’t like (except for a certain corporation.) 😉
