Colin isn’t just being cute here. He really does have the safety of the maternity ward in mind.
Oh, and welcome to the all-new fantabulous Puck website! It’s really a lot like the old site, but there are a few new perks. For starters, the ‘Characters’ section now includes ALL the characters in the comic, and gives a fairly detailed rundown of appearances. And if, say, you wanted to see all the comics that featured Tracee, just click on her name and you’ll be taken to the Tracee archive! (Shudder.) Also, every Puck comic in existence now has added Alt-text goodness! That’s right! Just like the cool people in those other webcomics! Get an added chuckle (or wry observation from yours truly) by mousing over the comic. It’s not much, but’s it’s the little things in life that count, right?
You can still comment to your heart’s content; you don’t have to be a member on the site. Just give your name and email, and you’re good as gold. The email address, by the way, is NOT published, nor spammed, nor anything like that. (It’s just to discourage spam commenters; that’s all.)
If you were following the RSS feed on the old site, you’ll want to switch over to the new RSS feed for this site, featured in the link on the menu bar. This RSS feed will give you updates on the latest comic releases and all that.
MARCH IS HERE!!! THAT MEANS VOTING INCENTIVE!!!
Vote for Puck on TWC and celebrate all that March has to offer … by celebrating all that Phoebe has to offer! Shameless as usual!!!
More like elephant tranquilizers. This is Puck we’re talking about.
I was imagining just such a thing: some big, honkin’ gun with a big ol’ dart and all that.
Speaking from my and my wife’s experience two years ago with the birth of our daughter, I am a first supporter of the user of EPIDURALS! Colin is being *gasp!* wise for once to take such precautions…what is the world coming to??
When it comes to self-preservation, Colin is a very, very smart man. My wife had one kid with epidural and one with no drugs at all. They were both awful in different ways. There’s no avoiding the awful, really.
I’m glad to say that is not a problem I’ll ever have to deal with; got my junk snipped. Which is a while level of pain in and of itself which is comparable to the birthing process after the anesthesia wears off.
Well, unless I find a girlfriend who got pregnant before I met her. But how often does that happen?
I’d say you’re a smart man. Reproduction IS worth it, though – it just doesn’t feel like it during most of the process.
Well, the first part of the “process of reproduction” is always worth it. That’s why I got my junk snipped.
Touche.
They should have a Operating Room ready in case Puck needs a C-section.
Don’t worry. She won’t!
You heard it folks! Word of God says she won’t need a C-section, so she won’t need a C-section!
When Puck realizes having a baby is like trying to pass a watermelon through a garden hose, she is going to need those drugs. Unless Colin beats her to them to relieve the pain from broken extremities.
Oh, don’t worry. There WILL be a comical outcome to all this. Believe me.
Puck the Vampire Slayer would make a awesome vote comic.
Hmmmm. Not a bad concept. I’ll keep that in mind.
Well it could be worse for other colin (it means Dog btw), we could have other denizens of the fantastic with maternaty issues at the same time, oh and she’s now at full turtle stage I see.
Yeah, at least we don’t have crazy Egyptian fertility goddesses unleashed on the maternity ward. Isis gets dangerous when she’s in the third trimester.
That’s nothing compaired to Kali or the Macha Aspect of the Morrigan
C-section got it’s name from Julius Ceasar because he was said to have been born that way.
Yep. That’s the reasons the full make of the procedure is called “Caesarian section.”
Full name, not make. Don’t know where that came from.
In Shakespeare’s MacBeth, MacDuff was also born this way (perhaps prematurely). This made him eligible under the witches’ prophesy of to kill MacBeth when the came.
Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn
The power of man, for none of woman born
Shall harm Macbeth.
When I first heard this while watching the play in grade 12 of high school, I thought, “So that is where Tolkien came up with the idea,” having read Lord of the Rings in grade 10 (and seeing the 70′s movie on TV). But alas, Tolkien had his own twist from Shakespeare’s version.
I love that line: “From mother’s womb untimely r-r-r-r-ripped!” It only works right if you roll the ‘R’ in true Scottish fashion.
Technically it’s not Julius Caesar, It’s his son with Cleo Caesarian, sorry 15 year olds who are on the small side have trouble with pregnancy. Scary thought she still had twins later on with Marc Anthony….
“If you hate your baby, give him formula”?????
Heh. You’re the first to notice that. Part of the ‘pro-breastfeeding gestapo’ movement. More on that in coming comics…
Can we chip in to give Phoebe a nose job?
Does Phoebe need one? I mean, she doesn’t particularly have a very prominent nose to begin with…
I’ll bet Phoebe will babysit and chip in money for a college fund.
You bet correctly!
Ever read Fray? It’s about a slayer who lives in the future.
Run, Colin! Run! You have just annoyed a pregnant redhead! Did what happened to Satan teach you nothing?
See, Colin is intimately aware of the violence threshold with Puck. He knows that this sort of thing will involve getting yelled at but probably not pummelled. Ergo, it’s worth it for him. There’s method in his madness.
Liking the new site, feels comfortable.
Thanks! The Smackjeeves site felt crowded, but really it was a matter of the template having tons of dead space in it. I wanted to neaten the whole thing up a bit.
