NOUNS ARE BACK!!! REVENGE OF THE NOUNS!!!
Over on Patreon, my top-tier patrons suggested nouns and we had a big battle royale between them, with the victors getting the most votes … and here are some of those glorious nouns in picture form.
As for this comic…
I guess it hasn’t been that long since Phoebe appeared in the comic, but it feels like it’s been a while. The past few arcs have all been about peripheral characters not really involving Phoebe much, and the previous longer story arc had her dressed as Velma for the majority of the time, so it’ll be good to have her front and center for a change.
You telling me the Lord of Darkness can’t summon a thunderstorm or at least some dark foreboding clouds? Dude has lost his touch.
Did he ever have the touch? Was it ever in his mighty hands of steel?
At one point he might have had fire, with which he could have been fighting fire with fire.
I can’t say as Satan’s and Tracee’s smiles are all that convincing either.
It’s not about convincingly feigning joy. It’s about the effort.
It’s all explained in Panel Four: “There’s no place for sincerity in this family!”
And Phoebe is cursed to forever fall afoul of that rule, given the fact that she’s always sincere.
“Where pretense is bliss,
‘Tis folly to be sincere”
She’s learning.
Life has taught her many harsh lessons.
Would this be a good time to call Nikki Sixx?
Nah. He owes Nikki money, I think.
Talk about a way to start off your morning…
Fresh coffee, a morning run, and Satan.
“…so it’ll be good to have her front and center for a change.”
The fact that “her” can be either a pronoun or a possessive determiner allows two very different readings of this sentence.
Both are fine.
What luggage? They apparently dont own anything.
Well, Tracee has a bag. One bag. That counts.
Oh Puck is gonna LOVE this. It COULD be worse though. It COULD be Collin’s family at the doorstep.
Phoebe may be more put out than Puck. We will see.
Phoebe’s outfit is too probable.
Well, it’s a jogging outfit. Gotta be at least marginally supportive.
The prodigals return…for the very first time.
The non-prodigal not-son anti-returns?
“In danger is opportunity.” Not sure what is in this, though. As it is, hearken to the Words Of Wooster= “Unseen, in the background, Fate was quietly slipping the lead into the boxing-glove.” I’ve checked the first two panels, yup Fate is definitely unseen!
Fate is unseen by Phoebe but all too clearly seen by us.
When Puck hears the news, Satan may find the path to wrathful chaotic evil faster than we expect…
Maybe. We shall see.
What an amazing Jogging Outfit !
and…
Mebe Satan and TRACEEE can make friends with the Laundry Room Centipedes ? Don’t insects worship the Dark One ?
I think those centipedes hail to a higher power: an Eldritch horror that predates humanity and even Satan.
Miranda absolutely adores TRACEEE.
I anticipate a joyous reunion !
You know it’s coming.
Certainly, there has got to be a historical building up there for the mayor’s residence. If just in name.
Besides, how much does the Mayor earn?
How much does the Mayor earn?
As much as they possibly can gouge out of the budget without getting caught.
Just like every other Mayor. (or councillor, representative, senator, governor, president, et al), basically anyone who sets their own wage.
Nah, not much money in mayoring. Nor a decent house. We’ll find where the money goes shortly.
Just a note. I keep getting this same error everytime I try to access your site via Firefox. It reads, “Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to //www.puckcomics.com. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
Error code: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

So there you are…I’ve passed it on.
Thanks for letting me know. Firefox works fine on my device, but I suspect it may be due to my PHP being out of date. Sadly, I cannot update the PHP to the current edition because the plug-in the whole site is based on will collapse when I do that.
A fix may be in the works. We’ll see. Sadly, this old site just keeps getting more old and more broken.
“Front and center” indeed.
Hey. I know what to put where.
She jinxed it well and good. She only has herself to blame. And talk about family traditions to avoid. This and the dunking of the youngest.
Jinxing is easy to do, sadly. That’s why I remain forever negative. It makes me a soothsayer 90% of the time.
In all the excitement, we haven’t seen Tyler anywhere in the last … week or so I guess, so in Puck time. suppose his mom has already sent him to a nunnery somewhere?
They don’t usually send teen boys to nunneries. Except in certain adult films…
You’re right. Too perilous.

And so, it begins…
Something begins. Not sure what it is.
Yeah, how could anyone be apprehensive of the Prince of Darkness (and his significant other)? :))
