OLD CHRISTMAS!!!
I know the thumbnail says it’s new, but it’s not. This is the ole ‘I ran out of time to finish the voting incentive pic so I’m recycling one from a few years ago to buy me some time’ strategy. I’ve been pulling that strategy a lot lately. W
VOTE TO DECK HALLS AND YULE TIDES!!!
As for this comic…
I finished this comic ten minutes ago. It is currently a few minutes before midnight for me, and I’m exhausted. Sometimes a comic file experiences issues where some element really adds to the processing demands of my computer, and it results in massive delays for every action. Like I click to add text, then the cursor pops up a whole fifteen seconds later. It’s maddening. But I don’t have the time to start over – I just need to muscle through at a painfully slow pace with what I’ve got.
I’m going to bed now.
Oh, and Tyler didn’t disappear. He’s in the next comic. He’s just currently in the living room. Daphne’s energy drink from the previous comic DID disappear, though. Did she place it down in the kitchen? Or did it cease to exist on the timeline? Or did I forget she was holding an energy drink in the last comic? The last one, probably.
The bottle found safe harbor with Tyler, on the other side of the couch.
I like your thinking.
Anytime…
Although, I’m glad yet surprised that Tyler and Daphne haven’t retreated from this onslaught to her room. I don’t know. Maybe it’s a different frame of thought than when they were alone in the van. I mean, proximity to other people and whatnot. Now that I think about it, I’m thinking these two prefer a bit more privacy than the average high school boy in the America’s.
But I was the stereotypical red blooded boy in high school. What grade are these two?
I think they’re grade eleven? I think?
It’s a few minutes til midnight here too. But I was delighted to find the rerun of Where’s Puck. It’s a fun diversion.
Puck is getting a little too much satisfaction from her handiwork… do I smell a bit of revenge in here, or is it just a heaping helping of irony?
I would like to do another ‘Where’s Puck?’ But I’d like to do it for real, drawing a giant image to scale, the way the originals were done. And I think it’d take FOREVER.
Not sure revenge is a motive here. Probably more that heaping helping of irony.
Yeah, in a way I both think both of them have a point in this case. Tracee had to change on her own to adapt to her current situation, but she is rocking the outfit a bit better than Puck normally would. Still, life is full of its own style of surprises.
If you cant beat them,
make them join you.
And give ’em a uniform too!
Did Tracee graduate high school?
I don’t know. Maybe GED.
At first glance, I thought Puck was wearing a poodle skirt with a face on it instead of a dog…but then I saw it was Miranda standing in front of her.
I had to include Miranda, but putting a toddler in Puck’s arms always hamstrings her ability to gesticulate or pose. So I awkwardly deposited the kid on the floor.
Is she joining a personality cult or founding a personality cult?
Puck is founding. Tracee joining.
This punchline is really funny! Thanks for the laugh!
Thanks for the reassurance. The wording was very hard to come up with.
Worth the effort. It’s just about perfect.
Miranda looks just as concerned as Daphne.
I’m just trying to figure what ancient method of mind control Puck used. Personally, I still approve of it and see no moral quandary whatsoever.
Not mind control. This is the result of someone whose self-concept has been thoroughly rocked. Tracee is at a low. She’s a lost ship looking for an open port.
I think they both have a point in this case. As Tracee needs to relearn to fend for herself, but given how Tracee currently acts it seems that she pulls off the simple wear clothing better than Puck ever could.
Well, whether Tracee does it better than Puck is really a matter of opinion. I’m Team Puck, but I’m not against Team Tracee.
I’ve never had a personality cult. Or party people. Or been an Aloha type person. Basically, I’m both envious of and worried for Puck here.
Same. I’m very much on the same page as you.
I guess Puck chose to embrace the expression, “With Great Power Comes Great Opportunity.” and punted on that whole “Responsiblity” silliness.
Accurate.
“With great power comes great opportunity to abuse that power.” — Black Mage, 8-bit theater.
I thought that I commented on this but apparently, I did not — “Where’s Puck?” is my all-time favorite incentive! I didn’t illegally save that image immediately to my computer, nope, not at all. I did buy the complete incentive PDF that you sold once upon a time so that counts as being a good person (probably).
Hey, anyone who wishes to save such images is free to do so. You voted, you participated, and if you care to save the file, I’m fine with that.
You need to run a full arc of just Tracee posing in a tri-fold full body mirror and in multiple outfits, we missed that from the shopping adventure. I’m only saying this to make you draw the same thing from multiple angles, no other reason.
Don’t tempt me.
What if we offer you a cookie.
Depends on the type of cookie.
Chocolate chip?
Which IS a good cookie.
“Which IS a good cookie.”
State cookie of Massachusetts. New York doesn’t have one that I could find
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you want to be
Oh, I’m the cult of personality
Daphne gives Puck a lot of adventure hooks, but other than the initial decision to go to college most of them involve evaporate before too much destruction can occur. Puck doesn’t seem to have the internet knowledge to become an “Influencer” but perhaps Tracee could work with Satan to tempt people in a whole new way.
Puck knows very little of the Internet. That’s probably for the best.
A situation in which Daphne is the alarmed one, warning others— up is down, down is up . . .
