Another bit of a rush job on the drawings, but it gets the point across. This is the second panel to feature Puck’s standard outfit: the vaguely ‘Catholic schoolgirl’ outfit with a micro-miniskirt and a sweater vest. I’m not sure why she wears that same outfit almost all the time, but she does. (All the characters in the strip had static outfits that seldom changed in the original run, and Puck was no exception.)
The jokes about Puck’s ‘lack of endowment’ pop up periodically. This is the first. Chet never appeared in the strip again. He couldn’t, because he ended up in traction shortly after panel four.
This comment, however, lacks any point.
Technically this comment is making a point of not having a point, thereby making a point of not having a point.
Also, if the guy in panel four’s name is Chet why did he write “Vote Ched for Prez”? Does he just really like cheese?
Well, obviously, he doesn’t know how to spell his own name is all.
No it doesn’t. It’s got one right there, at the very end of it.
Smack him, Puck!
She’s not a ‘smack’ kind of girl. She’s more a ‘punch’ kind of girl.
Yeah, Puck would grasp the logic in “If violence isn’t your last resort, you didn’t resort to enough of it.”
That’s logic to me!
Soooo…that strip where Robin comments on her pregnancy-enhanced endowment is referring to this? Who knew?
Well, now you know. That counts for something.
Where did Susan go?
I wish I knew. She just disappeared.
She let him live. That was generous.
That’s not confirmed, really.
All this time, I thought that his name was ‘Chad’ not ‘Chet’. I now see that the flyer sez: VOTE CHED FOR PREZ.
His name is immaterial. He didn’t last long anyway.
Young Ched is about to get a brief, poignant life lesson that isn’t on the school’s curriculum.
Hope it leaves it’s mark on him.
We never checked back with him. Perhaps we should.
Pity he couldn’t have popped in while Puck was pregnant. He couldn’t say “hey flat girl”, but he could have said “hey fat girl” and gotten the same response.
I kind of want him to have inexplicable political success (because it would blow Puck’s mind)… but in the current storyline, the local mayor’s slot is occupied by Satan (er… unless his present financial difficulties eventually undermine that).
…Then again, a step above Mayor would be Premiere, wouldn’t it?
…The mayor of Hamilton being in a state of severe personal destitution, but still holding office, might be something the provincial premiere might have to look in on? That might actually work, somehow.
Reading some of the older Puck comics. Maybe it is nostalgia or maybe it is due to my Swiss cheese brain post-stroke losing info I had before. I would never consider Puck to be “flat” and I have known women who truly were flat chested with guys with bigger chests then them. I think it is modern women chests with elementary school girls developing them and women with “C cup” chests described as small chested.
Well, it’s all relative, right? And glad someone is checking the ancient scrolls of yesteryear.
