THE GREAT WORD ADVENTURE BEGINS!!
This year patrons weren't limited to just nouns. They chose words of all types, and I assembled them into 'mad libs' type sentences to provide demented inspiration for ridiculous pics. So…
VOTE FOR WORDS, WORDS, WORDS!!!
As for this comic...
Nothing much to say. Other than to note that Tracee is obviously using Colin's mug. We haven't seen that mug in years. It was time for its return.

She needed a friend who won’t let well enough alone.
Did she? Did she really?
Did Puck need this? Not at all.
The guy who writes this BS? He absolutely does. 😉
Exactly.
Oh, no. Tracee’s bored.
Although, it IS summer.
What do they say about idle hands? Something good, I’m sure.
I think he’s going to have to get his evil on on before those hands do any playgrounding…
Today, I realized that Phoebe could very well hit the roof once she notices Tracee pinching her friend.
What would that even look like?
I don’t know. I bet it would be interesting. And involve her new little friends.
I am somewhat stuck on this “hands” thing while the two girls are alone… I am sure that it means nothing.
She needs and NCO friend…I ain’t good enough to be that one. p.s. you can’t prove I’ve ever made sense.
I’m sure you’ve made sense in the past. I have records.
of course not- here in America we make dollars not sense!
Is there going to be a fight over maid of honor?
But more importantly, are the McTavishes going to be attending? My vote for best man goes to Peg Leg, the nerds store owner, coffee maker and runner from any Code Yellow alerts. Although, if he gets the box of approval and the store is closed, I’m thinking a certain need girl may be crashing the venue, eh?
You see into the future so well.
A friend who minds their own business will NEVER lead to hijinks. This unacceptable situation must be fixed!
Exactly. It’s a particular deprivation of comedic potential we are dealing with here.
Might wanna get Hot Dog Guy to come over and visit before setting up this confrontation. Regardless of what happens, we’re gonna need a psychiatrist on-hand.
Can he leave his office? The concept seems outlandish to me.
Fair point. Maybe he still has his old cart somewhere?
It’s actually stationed INSIDE the psych office. That’s where he gets the hot dogs from.
I always thought the cart contained a pocket dimension just large enough for his office.
Like the TARDIS; but without the “time and space” parts, and definitely the “relative dimension” thing…
Office inside the cart. Novel.
Is it strange that the word hijinks makes me think of a 80s sit com version of Puck? I see Stan as the quirky neighbor.
Puck IS an 80s sitcom. For the most part.
Time for a little Tracee intervention to get the wedding plans going. Although, given the circumstances surrounding Puck it does prove a few complications for the wedding to even happen than even Tracee can realize. Right ?
Complications will be hand-waved away. Because we don’t like those.
“No man wants to get married…you gotta trick him into it.” —misquoting, I’m sure, a line from “The Beverly Hillbillies.”
No one will question the veracity of your quotation.
I see an inevitable fight over who will be Maid of Honor — Tracee, Phoebe, or Daphne? It ain’t gonna be pretty.
I doubt Daphne will care.
I foresee Daphne fighting desperately to be OUT of the running.
Quickly out then.
The nerve of Phoebe to not push or say anything to her friend PUCK, who is always so warm, receptive, and even-tempered to any suggestion about what she should do or how to improve her life.
I’d like to see who’d win the “I’m Daphne” contest if it was Tracee rather than Phoebe.
Are you implying the failure is Puck’s? That sounds like a disturbingly unbiased take. And true friends are never unbiased. For shame!
Wait. So Phoebe failed Puck? Is it reverse day?
It’s always reverse day here.
https://www.puckcomics.com/?comic=puck-650
yes, once. There’s a whole series of strips that follow which shows how even-tempered Puck can be with friends.
Why do I get the idea that they have the EXACT number of mugs as “people” in the house?
ie: One mug each for Puck, Colin, Phoebe, and Daphne – plus a sippy-mug for the Empress…
(The same can be said for plates, bowls, cutlery, bedsheets, towels, etc).
The obvious choice to clear all things up is to ask Phoebe to be MOH, and to design and sew her bridal gown (and maybe the Bridesmaids gowns too – heck – even the Tuxedos for the fellas) – but that would be too logical for Puck and the comic… lol
Logic may prevail. There is yet a chance.
And I think you’re right on the mugs. At least they can afford more than one mug. They’re better off than Bret and Jemaine.
Who?
Been meaning to mention…you know someone’s been putting up the Early Black-and-White Adventures of Puck translated into Italian over on deviantART?
Yep. He has my blessing. In fact, he has an inside source of hi-res images to do so. And the inside source is me.
If he wishes to put in the work, he’s a hardier man than I. I can’t vouch for the translation quality, but it sounds Italian.
. . . . . well . . . . What comes to my mind is . . .one, Tracee may learn she is a ne plus ultra wedding planner . . . two, if nothing else, the fail should be spectacular!
We like our fails to be spectacular here.
We got married in the Fall there – Thanksgiving weekend at the Ancaster Old Mill (as it was named back then). Outdoor chapel, beautiful day, late afternoon ceremony, cocktails and apps, and reception.
We had a piper…
That sounds classy.
Yeahhh, no. That tired, sad, pathetic girl boss bade attitude is why men are going MGTOW. It does NOT get them anything but cats in their 40’s as they make PickME vids.
Not only would I NOT date Tracee, or anyone like her, I wouldn’t even be friends with her, much less let her live with me.
Well, I’m not presenting her as a figure to emulate here. So good call.
Is Tracee serious or is it just the caffeine talking? 😉
Might be the caffeine talking.
