HALLOWEEN INCENTIVE ON TWC IS HERE!!!
It’s a return to form as we explore the types of ridiculous costumes you might never find at the local Spirit Halloween store!
As for this comic…
I initially wasn’t planning to put Tyler into this story arc quite yet, but I realized we need more ostensibly normal people to play straight man to the insanity.
Nothing wrong with unshelled peanuts.
I suppose so. Wholesome. Protein-rich.
Your pals are into craisins? Ok, man.. whatever.
I’m more of a pistachios in the shell guy, myself.
Or was, I kinda lost the habit.
I do like me some pistachios.
Pistachios ae like crab legs. Good, but not worth the work-to-eat ratio.
Or you can buy shelled pistachios.
Oh, but sometimes pistachios are BETTER than crab legs. A good pistachio? Worth it.
And don’t forget those Squirrel Sisters! They’ll do ANYTHING for pistachios!

It depends.
Poor Phoebe.
Poor, poor, sexy-when-angry Phoebe.
Is she less sexy when not angry?
No.
Nothing could quash Phoebe’s irrepressible sexiness!
Except for maybe concealing her latest improbable outfit with a large, brown grocery bag.
I knew you wanted the paper bag. So I provided. 😉
Phoebe is Level 20 sexy; there is no higher level in the game.
Unfortunately for her, this campaign seems to emphasize other attributes, such as Reliability Of Friends, which she used as a dump state.
*”dump stat”
You know the game well.
Phoebe . . . needs some space.
Hey. Sometimes we all need a little space.
Forgive the cliche saying but it looks like this is one little nut that is about to crack…
I’m envious I didn’t come up with it.
Some of her friends are nutcrackers…
Indeed. Of the most violent variety.
I’m thinking Phoebe will soon teach the cabal ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman.” (Yes, that’s not the full quote; she isn’t a scorned woman!)
You may be onto something?
….are her friends ravens? Ravens like peanuts. And ravens can make awesome friends.
WHO TOLD YOU?
Great! I love corvids. They’re super smart – just don’t do them wrong!
Ravens like peanuts, I didn’t know that.
I know our crows love eyeballs.
They will absolutely murder for a jar of eyeballs.
If you have a jar of eyeballs then our crows will be your friends for evermore.
If so, their names are Hugin and Munin. Hmm. One time, late at night, I left a building. Outside was a murder of crows, or conspiracy of ravens, all circling around, landing, flying off. Objectively I know they were simply enjoying the heated air coming from an overhead vent. But- it was an October night, and they were cawing, and it was eerie, and I went home and put a crucifix around my neck . . .
I do love crows. They’re so noisy and social.
Uh is no one gonna ask why this guy is talking like they actually feed their crows eyeballs?
Maybe fish eyeballs?
I’ll just say this: if you’ve ever tried to extract an eyeball from a mammalian skull intact, you’ll know it’s NOT an easy feat. So much muscle is intact and it’s really hard to get the sucker out without popping it. And yes, I’ve tried.
I assumed he was a Terry Pratchett fan.
So are sports fans.
Thank goodness it’s a bag of peanuts in the shell, instead of a jumbo-sized bag filled to the brim with Hallowe’en candy…
That’d be too seasonal.
You magnificent bastard you. You came up with the sexy bag lady costume.
INCONCEIVABLE
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I aim to please.
I’m not one to carp or complain about Phoebe’s creative fashion sense and the underboobian boldness hinted at in #713, but it seems to me that the paper bag serves a valuable purpose in enabling us to focus on her evident distress; it strikes me as efficient visual storytelling.
(She also seems to want to hug something when in distress – recalling the comfort item when Puck hit her over a dream – and has no person to hug. Which is unfortunate for her, but I guess helps the story. If she ever found out, would she have words with the author?)
Your breakdown is very accurate on many fronts. About the bag, and the hugs, and the whole thing.
Soooo….enough time has passed from the Scooby fiasco for Tyler to risk returning to the Puck household to see Daphne?
Kinda interested to see which characters commandeer the PUCK plot thread. Will it be Phoebe and her friends? Or Tyler issuing a communique to Daphne via his Montego Bay momma?
Well, the plot thread is going to be largely shared between the characters. We’ve got a lot going on here.
Phone’s unhappiness continues. How sad! 🙁
Oops, that’s “Phoebe’s”. My bad.
Phoebe probably keeps a phoene in her pocket.
“Phobos is saved”.
Phoebe phobia?
A phoebia, if you will.
Raises hand, “You need a friend Phoebe? Here, rest your head on my shoulder and tell me your troubles.”
You are big-hearted.
You know…I don’t care for peanuts themselves and yet I enjoy chunky peanut butter. Is that just REALLY weird?
That is really weird.
Well, I like corn on the cob, but corn in the can—uh, no.
@CommanderClash, not really. The oil in the peanut butter mellows the taste, makes the peanuts much less bitter. I don’t like p.b. made with “Spanish” peanuts for the same reason.
Alston Brown has a recipe for boiled peanuts. Her friends could all be Good Eats fans.
