APRIL (NOT) MERMAIDS!!!
Okay, real mermaids were a hit, but what if there were NOT mermaids?!?
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the good people who support me on Patreon, with a special shout-out to The Lurker, Paul Gabbard and Jeremy, who ALL became Mayor of Pucksburg for this month. (We can have multiple mayors. It’s a weird town.) It’s a title that comes with rewards, including actual original comic art getting mailed to you. If you’re interested in keeping the Puck comics flowing, and maybe gaining some fun perks, CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
This one took a LONG time. As stupid as it is, the back of that chair was annoyingly hard to get consistent. And most of it ends up getting obscured in the comic. Well, never can it be said that I work smart.
Never underestimate the improvised power of nature.
Nothing improvised about it! All planned!
Oh, I’ve heard of those wonderful things. Their tops are made of rubber, and their bottoms are made out of springs.
Gotta love teh kitty. What’s his name?
We will probably find out next week.
Same Puck time, same Puck channel.
Daphne: “So… what’s his name?”
Phoebe: “Mr. Snuggles.”
Daphne: “Aaaand what’s that gooey pile he’s snuggling with?”
Phoebe: “The intestines of some naughty person who tried to dump trash in the park at night when they thought no one would see.”
Daphne: “Ah, so that’s why it’s blurred by a mosaic. If it were a pile of sex toys, I’d have entirely different questions.”
Phoebe: “I don’t think EG really wanted to draw a pile of ripped-out intestines. Whether he’d draw a pile of sex toys is uncertain, but perhaps oddly less disturbing than human innards.”
Daphne: “The tiger is licking the pile of things behind the mosaic clean.”
Phoebe: “…I retract my previous statement.”
Lov kitty’s smug slantendicular glance in the last panel, like, “thx bae”
Hard to get expressions on tigers but I tried.
You need to reveal name of tigger so you can create a tag for it.
Another comic (Delve) had same issue – new character who they could not create a tag for until name revealed in content.
Oh and Delve artist would make a great Phoebe poster!
The Delve artist is certainly well-versed in the depiction of … certain assets.
Ya know, nice as she is, we kinda forget Phoebe is the daughter of Satan. I think she has a bit of her father’s mojo. Except she’s using it to become Dark Queen of the park.
I say Dark Queen because there is a bit of a menacing aura. And honestly, Mother Nature can be a bitch. Not that humans don’t really deserve that.
There is an innocent menace to it. Like Mother Nature herself.
Did Tigerkitty escape from a zoo, or is just a representative of an invasive species?
Zoo escapee. More on that next comic.
Maybe she’s like Tatania at the San Francisco Zoo. These three guys spent some time yelling and throwing stuff at her. She went back, jumped over a ditch (two feet further than any tiger was known to jump), passed by all sorts of other animals to get to these three guys, who she did her best to tear them to pieces. Seemed a damned shame to put her down.
Never push a tiger to the limit.
Your tiger is grrrrrrrrrrr-ate!!
I love the metamorphosis of our mer-girls. Next week, will they crawl from the sea onto the land ?
Nah, last incentive pic for the month. The transmogrification stops there.
No full fish?
No demand.
Awww. But I can understand that.
The tiger is lying next to the Extra Stylish Chair and Daphne doesn’t notice until it roars?
Not the most observant girl in the world, is she?
Well, no one expects the tiger. If you’re not expecting the tiger, you don’t notice it!
Something, something, Hamilton Tiger-Cats, something…
Eat ‘em raw!
I guess the guys also built her a bed, because where does she sleep?
Which makes me think, where do all “The Lady of the ” go when they are not saving animals or throwing swords at Englishmen and such?
…that should have been “The Lady of the ‘wherever'”
I’m sure she has a magical consecrated bower somewhere to sleep.
That was a word I did not know although I figured it out via context.

BOWER definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary
A bower is a shady, leafy shelter in a garden or wood.
I was quoting A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Titania, queen of the fairies, sleeps within a consecrated bower.
They rent a house in Hackney and squabble about chores.
I’m more concerned about where she has to go to “go”, if you catch my meaning…
There are washrooms in this park, actually.
I thought somebody burned them down, and it will cost the City $1M to replace it? Or was that in a different park?
Different park. Corktown park, I believe – a park I regularly bike through.
Uhp, I was wrong. Corktown park washrooms WERE set on fire, but the one with the $1 million replacement fee is the washrooms in Woodlands Park. Which is situated right in the middle of the roughest part of the city.
Her father had a ego trip which got him cast down from Heaven.
KITTY! PET THE KITTY!
Likely die soon after, but die happy, having pet the kitty.
Fuzzy. Deadly. Different.
My first word an sentence according to my mom.
Can we start calling her “Phoebe The Beastmaster” now?
Indeed. She’s got an eagle and a tiger. Did that movie have a tiger painted as a panther or the other way around? I forget.
And a cathedral is a house with style?
Man, Phoebe just gets more frightening by the hour.
It’s good that Daphne’s trying to include Phoebe. That could give her leverage. Although what leverage that she could need that isn’t trumped by also having a tiger on staff is . . . going to be interesting. Daphne might have to sell this idea.
A cathedral IS a house with style! It’s God’s house. And God is a stylish dude.
“The Kingdom of God is in you and all around you, not in palaces of wood and stone.” — Gospel of St. Thomas
<3 this. Well deserved Phoebe
And Wowza for your bathing beauties, extra pretty now that they're fully women, even though neither is actually human.
Everyone needs a good tiger.
He’s just a kitten, really . . .
Really.
The lady *and* the tiger!
Together at last.
Happy Shakespeare Day to everyone! I think we have a few parks here in Boston that could use Phoebe’s oversight. No escaped tigers that I know of though, but I won’t complain about that! 😉
Every park needs at least one escaped tiger.
Did they make her a bed so she has somewhere to sleep?
Yeah! Some shaded bower, far away from prying eyes and bad intents.
Let’s remember cats and dogs don’t often get along. And Mr.Tiger’s adoring expression as he looks at Phoebe in the last panel is my takeaway from this episode. 🙂
“Cats and dogs, living together, mass hysteria!”
Will we seeing the bed where she sleeps?
Probably not.
