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 and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg for this month! They are going the extra mile to help me keep the lights on. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
A number of readers predicted this development a while ago, but I feel no need to deliver real shockers. So if you had the ‘Sigmund reverse heel turn’ on your bingo card, congrats!
Talk about revealing where your true loyalty lies.
His true loyalty lies with evil! He’s been very forthright with that.
As one of the people who predicted it, yeah, not a shocker. It was telegraphed over a year ago. (#774, Sep 23 2024)
In other words, it pays to read the archives. Now go. Get Gecko some ad revenue, assuming the ads work without putting some malware on your system.
(Disclaimer: I am not accusing ElectricGecko of using a shit ad network. I always, however, accuse corpos and scammers of finding ways around consumer protections.)
I am not entirely trusting of the ad network myself. So yeah. Caution is justified. I’ve wanted to switch the ad situation up for a while. I make very little money from it so there’s no real risk financially. But it’ll be a lot of work to switch over to something else and may break the site. So I’m not sure.
Better the Devil you Know.
Precisely.
Well—it seems I always start out with “Well…”—I’ve found being followed around by ads for things I’ve bought (or just looked at) kind of disconcerting. Yeah, I know these sites plant cookies on my computer, but I’m also too lazy to do anything about it.
But it does remind me of something I should have done years ago…I’ll attend to it now…
Is this why your name appeared on my list of hig tier patrons suddenly? I thank you, kind sir. You help me keep the lights on. They dim, they flicker, but they do not go out. Thanks to you.
Yeah, I’ve been making a nuisance of myself here for years. I kept thinking about it…forgetting…thinking about it…forgetting…and so on and so on. High time.
Of course, with your ads…Sunday I had to order a filter for the water thing in my relatively-new refrigerator. Since then, that product and other brand products appear in the ads—they’re there right now. Do they think somebody who just bought something will need to buy another one immediately?
The ads are ridiculous. And they make me no money. They really need to go. I just need to figure out how to do it without breaking the site.
Aw, such a sweet birthday page for me 🙂
Happy birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I think Sigmund just wanted to get Satan moving.
Also: Candy cane is yummy.
Indeed. And indeed.
Okay . . . . but we will still see some biffs and bashes upon the lawyerly, right? With at least a couple of Pows and Ka-Pows in the classic Batman ’66 style!
We have to see some punches thrown. We must. This is a promise.
don´t worry tracee, there are still plenty of a#holes around who deserve a good trashing…..not sure any of them will give her as much of a satisfying(!) challenge as collins sister did though 😉
Exactly.
So, did Phoebe paint herself or did she get help from someone else? Because I gotta say that is some intricate, not to mention difficult, paint work there.
Body paint is almost always the work of someone else. Phoebe is the canvas, though the artist is unknown.
Since we never see the artist, perhaps it’s hot dog guy?
Unlikely. Maybe we’ve seen the artist. We just never saw the artist create the masterpiece.
The artist’s name is:
Luckiest Guy In The World!
It’s a living, I’m sure.
Well, that was a lot easier than I thought. Or Satan thought.
I’m sure other challenges will present themselves.
The redesign of TWC seems to mean that it doesn’t hate this comic any more.
The redesign has nothing to do with it. Rather, it’s the fact that the TWC dudes instituted a real CAPTCHA system to stop the rampant botting that plagued the site in the past. Now all the votes are real humans. And seeing as my votes have ALWAYS been real, this benefits me.
Not all votes are “Human”
Or even traditionally biological.
But certainly not silicon.
I thank our feline voting friends.
Sigmund assumes the proper frog squat for a loyal toady. I’m still waiting for Satan’s shade to creep back in.
Most of my candy cane references were too vulgar to use, but suffice to say I lfind the Phoebe stripes delicious.
I would have thought Satan’s tail might have perked up a bit over Sigmund’s supplication. A “tail-rection”, if you will.
Also, even if Satan and Tracee get their mojo and gold back, I’m guessing, in the end, this escapade won’t benefit Puck and the rest gang. Although I’m sure Daphne has an angle to make some profit.
You guess correctly. We need everything to go back to the beginning at the end of every arc. More or less. So sayeth the Sitcom Bible.
Well, you have to ask yourself what would be more evil. Compleating the deal or not? Seeing as all our heroes really want is Satan out of Phoebe’s Bedroom, they may be good.
On the other hand, would the room be useable?
Well, I appreciate your circumspect sense of control in candy cane-related matters.
Nice body job (the paint job)
I’m glad that you appreciate artistry.
I guess Sigmund just couldn’t take any more subservience to the cabal. IMO, that’s perfectly believable.
IMO too.
Will Satan go black with evil again?
Once you go black, you sometimes go not black. And sometimes you go back. To black. I think that’s what they say.
YAY!!
That’s what I wanted to hear 🙂
Well, we aim to please.
You still could. That would be pretty evil.
Indeed. Violence is always an option.
Not always a good option, but it’s there. In the background as it were. Loosening up. Ready.
You know, today’s random comic is back when Daph and Phoebe stayed over at Satan’s. Daphne was annoyed then too.
Things change; things stay the same!
EG, that’s a brilliant depiction of Phobe in the incentive. She really is that sweet. 🙂
I thought so.
