Chapter: Prince of Dappled ShadeCharacters: Colin Puck TraceeTags: club dress excluded wedding
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR!!! It's another weird deep dive into the bizarre sorts of costumes you'll see at the Spirit Halloween store … only even weirder! VOTE TO HALLOW THAT WEEN!!! As for this comic... Yep. It sure is a comic. I was late finishing this one. If there are errors, I apologize, and will fix later. But I just completed the speech bubbles a few minutes ago and I'm all out of juice.

    How long . . . iiiiis this “short” list?

    Not that I think I’m getting married any time soon, but I’m worried more about the marriage than the wedding. I expect her to have a veto.

    • ElectricGecko

      Worry about the wedding. THEN worry about the marriage.

      • Frank H.

        I’m getting up there in years. If someone wants to get hitched that I like, I’m saying or doing whatever’s required to get it done with the other person happy including shutting up.

        Besides, the major requirement is to show up and look pretty in a suit. And if you don’t look pretty, get a better suit. Anything else is labor sharing, not executive decisionmaking.

    Colin needs to look at the long game…he gets to plan his bachelor’s party with Satan. I’m envious and I’ve been married for 34 years.

    • ElectricGecko

      If Puck allows it.

      She probably won’t allow it.

      • Skull the Troll

        What’s the alternative? Satan might well be the best of a short list. Particularly if Puck thinks the bachelor party will be held by mopey Satan rather than one restored to his full power by her daughter. 🙂

  • Marcus Martin

    The fact that Tracee and Puck are bonding over wedding details makes me wonder how they are going to pull this off ? It’s not like they are able to come up with the money for the wedding, right ?

    Something tells me that it’s Daphne to the rescue on all of this.

  • Colin’s got two women in his bedroom. Most guys dream about things like that…shame, though, that their conversation is so obviously deflating…

  • demarion

    Hmmm . . . . help plan the wedding, or fight the evil cabal . . . heey, Satan, buddy, I hear you need help!

  • Just Sumguy

    I honestly can’t say I’d have imagined the devil’s bride in another mans bedroom in a situation quite like that. Supporting and encouraging a couples marriage and all that, I mean.

    • ElectricGecko

      Expect the unexpected.

    • Frank H.

      Is she really? I mean, either Satan’s bride or encouraging a marriage? She could just be encourraging an endless planning loop or setting a house of cards up waiting for it to fall apart.

      High hopes make such a distinct sound when it hits the ground.

  • bergerjacques

    Take it from those that have been there, Colin. Stand in a spot and wait to be told what to wear, where to stand, and what to say.
    AND SMILE LIKE ITS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE………..

    • ElectricGecko

      And don’t pee your pants. That’s the most important thing to remember.

    • LaughingDemon

      It’s like Red Green said: “There are only two times when you shouldn’t be smiling: When there’s a bad smell, or if your wife isn’t smiling. Sometimes the two are connected”.

      • ElectricGecko

        A wise man. But of course he’s wise. He’s from my neck of the woods.

        “She’s marrying you for the exact opposite reason you’re marrying her: she thinks you’ll change. She thinks you’ll change, for the BETTER. Things don’t get better as they get older. Look at your truck. Look at your roof. Look in the MIRROR!” – Red Green

    “Coming to Terms With The Unicron Trilogy”? That’s some awfully heavy reading there, Colin. My question: Is it a self-help book—like, helping you address your conflicted feelings about that particular Transformers continuity? Or is it an academic analysis of said Trilogy, and its place in the greater Transformers concept?

    • ElectricGecko

      It may be a bit of both. The Unicron Trilogy stands as a rather divisive turning point in the franchise. It’s considered a bit of a low point, in that the cartoons were bad, and the toys were sometimes bad, and the Michael Bay movie hadn’t yet come out to juice the brand. So any Transformer fan needs to at some point decide where they stand on the U.T. while also placing it within the greater context.

      The U.T. is also noteworthy as the first explicit ‘reboot’ in the series, existing outside the original G1 timeline. Lots to grapple with.

  • LaughingDemon

    Gotta go with the simple stuff, Colin. Squidbillies style: An acid-washed denim trucker cap with the word “Groom” in rhinestones.

  • Joe Fonebone

    Who the F%$k are Sam and Max?

    • ElectricGecko

      Google exists for just such a question. But they’re characters that originated in an indie comic in the late 80s and were the subjects of a popular point-and-click LucasArts game in the 90s. They then went on to star in a cartoon, a bunch of other later games, etc.

      A bit niche, but lots of fun.

  • That’s right, Colin. If you’re not there, there can’t be a wedding. Du-uh! LOL

  • Say…maybe last week’s drone was just someone trying to look into Colin’s and Puck’s bedroom.

    • ElectricGecko

      With a crib in the room, I can tell you that the spy cam wouldn’t be able to see much. Any naughty stuff going on would be furtive, under the covers and relatively quiet.

      • Miranda still sleeps in the same room with them? Well…I hope she sleeps…’cause I’ve known couples who intended to keep the crib in the room with them but made immediate arrangements in the, er, “reality of the situation.”

  • ChrisH

    Girls will be girls! 😉 Has anyone noticed how the definition of the word “girl” has changed to include more and more women? It used to mean a young child of either gender. Way back in the day.

    • Frank H.

      I don’t know that I know the time period you speak of. adult people would use Girl of Boy to refer to an intimate group that they’re a part of, my go-to example is when Teddy Roosavelt urged his boys onwards in the attck on San Juan Hill.

      We stopped using Boy for that because it was also being used to enforce an asymatry in social power and that needed adressing.

      • ElectricGecko

        ‘Girl’ has retained its positive association, in part due to the uneven gender dynamics around age and maturity. So a fifty year-old woman will happily say she’s going out with the girls. But ‘boy’ is a little different. Few men like to be called ‘boy’ as it has an air of immaturity and weakness about it. Also, there was that dark dimension that existed to the term where it was used as a dismissive term for men of the underclass.

        So I feel ‘girl’ continues to be ascendant but ‘boy’ has been almost universally delegated to actual little boys and has been replaced by ‘guy’ in most other uses.

        • Frank H.

          You can also say that about the people you’re close too. Boy became an issue when it was used with people you weren’t close too, but had power over.
