THE GREAT NOUN ADVENUTRE RETURNS!!!
Patrons present me with nouns, and I make a picture out of them. It’s a thing we do.
VOTE FOR POUNDS AND POUNDS OF NOUNS!!!
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 AGAIN! 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…
I know people were really hoping for Phoebe, but the park needs her. We get her emissary instead. I hope that’s sufficient.
The only part I’m wondering about is why the raccoon didn’t just let himself in.
He was sent by Phoebe.
He was being courteous. Because doors don’t stop raccoons. Or thieves. Doors only stop polite humans.
Personally, I would prefer a nice M.L.T. A mutton, lettuce and tomato where the mutton is nice and lean.
And the tomato is ripe? They’re so perky! I love that.
Aw. You beat me to it.
We were both thinking it. That’s either very good or very bad.
They’re so perky. I love that.
Not on the carpet, then.
Thankfully there ain’t much carpet in Puck’s house.
Carpet is difficult to draw….
That is NOT the missing member needed I stated after last week’s episode but evidently Phoebe sent her representative.
I knew you’d be disappointed.
Let me guess… Puck has a history with this creature ? Also talk about the secret weapon that only works for free food.
No history, but you never want a raccoon in the house. Even tame raccoons have a tendency to destroy interiors.
I’ve heard from people with raccoons that NOTHING is safe. They can unscrew jar lids, open child-proof cabinet locks, and more.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: our Burglar.
They come pre-masked.
Ha! 🙂
That raccoon works out. Biceps and pecs, wow.
Or maybe it’s just fuzz.
It’s just fuzz. They’re all fuzz. That’s the difference between a cat or dog and a raccoon.
Puck is correct. (In general.) Racoons are furry thieves. But the enemy of my enemy is … the enemy of my enemy. No more no less.
However, since Phoebe sent him, I guess it is okay.
Also: Since he is the designated Burglar, shall we call him Bilbo?
He’s actually not the burglar. He’s the military strategist. So more a Gandalf.
“When I walk through that door / baby be polite! / You’re gonna make me sore / if you don’t treat me right! / Don’t you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice! / Treat me nice!”
Don’t kiss the raccoon. Never kiss the raccoon.
Then she can scratch his back and run her pretty fingers through his hair.
I’ve had personal experience with raccoons who got into an unoccupied house. They tore out a roof vent and wrecked most everything in the storage cubbies between the dormers, plus insulation and interior ceilings.
You DON’T want uninvited raccoons in your house!
Thank GOD someone invited this one, then.
This s Hamilton, Ontario. Quiet, peaceful, serene. That is until Daphne wakes up.
Never peaceful, never serene. Mostly miserable.
Perfect quote, perfectly adjusted for the location change, the species and gender switch.
Thank you. Great Canadian programming at its finest. Along with Reboot.
I’m a Beast Wars guy myself.
My old animation teacher worked on the Raccoons.
Coolness. Never really cared for Beast Wars but hey, different strokes.
Nope, not wondering how he reached the doorbell. Like felids, raccoons are all lean, elastic muscle under what looks like flab (actually just loose skin). And I understand Puck’s reaction, but those qualities make him and his (tribe? troop? clan?) EXACTLY the allies needed here… In terms of infiltration and destruction, I’d choose a dozen raccoons in a kitchen over a bull in a china shop any day!
You know your Procyon Lotor.
When I was little we lived right on the edge of the woods and every evening four or five raccoons would come in and sit patiently on the floor until we gave them some popcorn, or bread if we didn’t have any popcorn made, and then they’d quietly leave.
Just gotta be careful, cuz that small troop of raccoons can swell to a small army sometimes.
Ralph Raccoon? Must be, he is him, so it’s not Lisa, Bentley’s too young, and Bert is, as always, the distraction!
Deep Nelvana cut.
It has soulful eyes. Popcorn might work. I like how Phoebe knows how to keep the cannons pointed in the right direction. I hope. <8
Phoebe is competent at strategic deployment. Even though she might not seem so.
No doubt it was a required course in the fashion arts program she took in college.
LO! The Mighty Raccoons are honored & deferred-to.
They deserve it.
And, BTW, JUST where is Phoebe??? Already strategically deployed??
She presides in the park. She cannot leave.
It took me till today for it to hit me: this is just how Puck met Daphne.
Well, true enough. Strange guest on the doorstep. Seems to be a repeating trope.
I somehow doubt that she’ll adopt this one.
Maybe he’s Daphne’s father.
Now that would be a hell of a twist.
Especially as they typically live only 22 to 37 months in the wild.
