Puck continues, with another joke at the expense of Colin’s facial hair. (Last one, scout’s honour!) I’m getting the hang of the new visual style. In the old strip, the characters always fell apart (figuratively speaking) when shown in close-ups. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I just couldn’t leave well enough alone, could I? So this begins the new (current) run of Puck, which actually has run far longer than the original. It does a rather odd (yet rather convenient) time jump from the old […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
So this is it: the final farewell of the original run. For this occasion, I managed to pull some strings with the head editor (Chris Watson, the guy who was the basis for Phoebe’s date), and he got me a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is the penultimate strip in the original run. And Puck’s on the crapper again. Well, at least I’m consistent in my poor taste. Puck continues to wallow in self-pity. She also needs to eat more fibre, apparently. It’s hard […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Phoebe date story concludes. And Phoebe remains forever single, for the fans’ sakes. (Kind of like Jackie Chan. Ever hear those stories about Japanese girls committing suicide in the 80’s because Jackie Chan started dating someone? Then they decided […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Phoebe date story continues, and we meet Phoebe’s potential date: Craig Wallington. Now, Craig Wallington was done as an homage to my friend Chris Watson, then head editor of the Silhouette and all-around campus celebrity. On a campus of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Back on strip #66, I stated that I considered it the second funniest strip in the entire original run. Well, here’s the first. This one still cracks me up every time I see it. It really requires no explanation, though […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
