RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH QUICK SKETCHES!
It’s a little sketchy up in here, but it’s still worth your vote!
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. Again. They are the two strong pillars helping to hold this comic up. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Oh no! Problems manifest themselves! On the weakest front, no less! WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!?!?
Talk about disturbing a good quality quiet moment between the Van team and their snacks.
Tragic loss of tranquility.
Too much to hope that Seal is on Overwatch?
Probably.
Maybe we can do one better.
You tell ’em Miranda!
Not sure they’re listening.
“HEY, I’m eatin’ HERE!”
VERY rude.
Uh Oh…..
Time for Deus Ex Machina.
Likely.
A large herd of felines could descend. This is actually a favored plot device used by the famed H.P. Lovecraft.

The most well-known but by no means the sole example.
In other Lovecraft history (it is rarely appreciated that his writings are NON-FICTIONAL) the Moon Cats descend and destroy.
My mom (Yule Cat) and I are amused … but a bit ashamed.
Yes, we Earth Cats are a lazy bunch and rarely do much more than snooze.
On a somewhat related note, the Cats of Salem have coerced some nice humans to introduce a CAT MUSEUM.

We would like to support them, but when I explained to the nice human owners that we could readily reduce the amount of ill-dressed urchins about (by consuming them), they expressed reluctance to accept our services.
Oh well….
On a better note, my human pet Baldie thinks he has hidden his valuable stash of United States pennies well. But I had noticed he just can’t keep way from fondling them for long.
I’m keeping close watch, and will invent a way to make it seem all is well, by my creating a faux facade on the surface, while I abscond with the Mother Lode within.
Obviously Duck Tape is the key.
It may well be a cat coming to the rescue.
It’s Hamilton. A Tiger-Cat should be involved…
Indeed. Tiger-Cats eat ‘em raw.
considering how fierce pucks tantrums can get, i wouldn´t put it past miranda to defeat the evil goons in a righteous fury to defend her attoh fitta – after all, she´s too small to beat up, yet can get LOUD and kick shins!
I wouldn’t put it past her.
I suppose beating up a small child and two geeks is in their wheelhouse…
Hey, it’s part of the job. Gotta make that cheddar.
Don’t mess with the Attoh Fitta.
There are lines one does not cross.
This should be interesting, watching Puck tear through those punks like wet paper to get at Colin for endangering their daughter . . .
This … is pretty accurate, really.
Oh, yeah, obvious van is obvious.
Awww, she takes after her mum!
I wonder if Colin will have to pay for damage to the van.
Perhaps the problem can be solved with no damage. Perhaps.
I just realized the Puck Universe is squarely in the midst of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Sure? Not confident where puck belongs in the multiverse.
Is Tyler among those now banned to the rear with the gear or has Daphne figured on Colin’s inevitable failure and Tyler her reliable back up?
Ty is the ‘guy in the chair’ monitoring on the laptop. Colin is babysitter. Ty’s secondary role may be to babysit the babysitter. That part is unclear.
Given Colin’s choice of babysitting settings, it’s pretty clear.
