Not much to say. This strip was a challenge because it forced me to draw things I suck at: dramatic perspective shots and cars. I hate cars. For those who want to know, Phoebe drives a bright red Nissan Sentra Sport. It felt right for the character. And if I had to make a guess about Tracee’s car, I’d say she drives a yellow VW Jetta. Insufferably cute young women drive Jettas. Women who WANT to be insufferably cute drive Beetles. There’s a difference.
Check out the new Valentine’s Day voting incentive on TWC if you haven’t already! It’s hot. It’s steamy. Did I mention the steam?
Though this particular incentive pic isn’t available through voting on TWC anymore, you can purchase the pic from the STORE! It’s only a buck for a set of five voting incentives! That’s what I call a deal!
Cars aren’t quite as angular as they used to be back in the 70s / 80s.
Actually, those curves and bends do make them a bit easier to eyeball.
And a bit less likely to take your eye out.
“I have the high ground!”
“Anakin, there’s no way you’ll win! I have donuts up here! DONUTS! The energy boost makes me well nigh unbeatable!”
Stron with this one, the jelly filled is!, hreehehehe!
“Where? Where are the donuts?”
“Don’t you remember? In your anger. I’m afraid. You ate them.”
“NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!”
Sigh. Just thinking about the prequels makes me sad.
Sad because you can’t watch them again?
I have the DVDs. I can come over…
😀
Quick! Light them on fire before they can damage anyone else!
Actually, given the fact that I sat through decades of George Lucas taking the original Star Wars movies and ‘improving them’ through digital editing b#$%%$#t, I would LOVE if Disney started doing the same thing with the prequels. You know, digitally removing Hayden Christensen from every scene? I would buy those.
I just bought a VHS original Star Wars so I can watch one of my all-time favorite films without barfing.
I only watch the original VHS copies. Only. And those are the only versions my kids are allowed to see too.
Have you looked into the De-Specialized Edition?
As bad as the prequels were, I almost prefer them to “The Force Awakens”; at least they were new stories, instead of just giving us “A New Hope: Super Dance Remix” and trying to pass it off as something new.
Of course, this opinion may change were I to actually go back an watch the prequels again…
DON’T go back and watch the prequels again. Don’t. I actually had almost-fond memories of Attack of the Clones. I remembered it as being stupid but kind of fun, with some good action. Then I got a copy and watched it with my (then seven year-old) son, and I realized that not only did the acting and direction suck, but the pacing was AWFUL. Huge long sections of the movie had nothing going on in them! Council meetings! More council meetings! Another meeting! Characters sitting and talking! Standing and talking! Walking and talking! About useless fake politics! Let’s put it this way: I got seventy-five minutes into it when my son asked, “Daddy, can we stop watching this now?”

I’m extremely dubious that being an unemployed welfare leech (intentionally, and without a valid disability) particularly with a child on the way, could in any way, shape, or form be “morally superior” to having an honest, well-paying job.
Cowardice won the day here, and low self-esteem bought the victory donuts. >.>
Mind you, I can easily see her being fired in under an hour for her rotten attitude and being bitchy to the customers. Sorry Puck, you’re not “too good” to work at Howlers… you’re not good enough (and not in a way that has anything to do with your figure, I assure you.)
True enough. I’m not defending Puck’s position, nor do I think it has any real moral grounding here. And yes, Puck wouldn’t last long at most real jobs. She’s largely unemployable.
Oh, and she’s not on welfare. Can’t be on welfare when your partner’s gainfully employed.
I’m not sure how it works in Canada, and I’m sure it even varies in the U.S. from state to state, but where I am, if they’re not legally married, she could still be on welfare. It’s actually an excuse a lot of people use not to get married; they would lose the welfare checks.
They don’t have Food Stamps in Canada, either.
So the next time you hear a Welfare-American bray “If Trump wins, I’m moving to Canada”, try not to bust a gut laughing.
You know, when he DID win, horrified and fearful Americans did in fact crash the immigration web servers of Canada, Australia, and I think also England, by overloading them with traffic.
Considering all that happened, the fear was justified… particularly if your skin tone falls south of the “pasty” range.
I honestly don’t know how it works up here. I’ve never been in that scenario.
Some places/people like the sarcastic attitude that comes with lady-types.
We all remember Flo from ‘Mel’s Diner’, etc.
And there’s a real place in Chicago where an attitude is a requirement (faked or not). It’s part of the charm, I guess.
I like sarcasm and sharp tongues from my lady types. It makes things interesting.
Mahnarch has a point. Snark is a requirement for some barristas.
See questionable content. Also true in real life in some independantly owned coffee shops here in town. Although the girls aren’t outright rude, they literally drip sarcasm. Into your coffee. Or chai tea latte you hipster dilletant :p
Maybe coffee is the only thing that’s sweetened through snark.
My mom drove a Beetle called Mable. It had a rusty bayonet in the driver’s door panel. She could be intense, but cute too.
That’s endearingly terrifying.
I think she’d have liked that. : )
