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.
