PURPLE IS THE COLOR OF THE MONTH!
Purple won the color contest. Who could predict?
In other news…
First, this comic is brought to you again by the two stalwart supporters The Lurker and Jeremy, who are both Mayor of Pucksburg again. Maybe you’re generous enough to join them! CHECK OUT THE PATREON!!!
As for this comic…
Not much to say, other than to complain about the vertical panel format as I’ve done many times before. There’s a reason movies are done in widescreen: it gives you geography to play with. While phone-based vertical content is growing in popularity, I really dislike working in the vertical. It means that I have to sometimes really crowd shots just to get all the actors in view. That said, the vertical panel allows for one useful thing in comics: tons of head room where you can stick the speech bubbles. Could I change the format? I could. But I think limitations are important sometimes.
Maybe all those gold-wrapped chocolate coins are fattening.
The chocolate in those things was always so bad. That didn’t stop me from eating it, but still.
I hope Tracee isn’t about to hit Sigmund. I know she dislikes him, but that wouldn’t help.
Nah, she has other targets.
Absolutely, Sigmund. Evil without style, without panache, is banal. It’s boring. It lacks lustre, grandeur. It’s corporate evil, stunted, anodyne. Sigmund, I salute thy stand for evil strong and free, evil with Soul, Evil That Sings, That SOARS!
I feel that there’s a bit too much evil that soars in the world right now. But at least it’s easier to recognize.
As I see it, the evil in the world today is the same old bad old. I long for evil such as this= “BWA-HA-HA! Those fools call me good, for providing them and their rug-rats top-quality health care! Morons! The healthier they are, the harder they work, the more money I make! I’m using them shamelessly, but they think I care! Peasants!” “Er-what about all the good schools and outstanding universities you provide? Isn’t that good?” “Good? GOOD? The more the serfs are educated, the more innovative they are, the more they create new tech, new advances, there are more ways I EARN MONEY! Good? Pfaugh! How insulting! Learn this, peon! I am EVIL, not stupid! I am not those Cabal MORONS, setting themselves up for attack and destruction! I shear my sheep instead of slaughtering them!” Alas, little to no such evil exists in this benighted, fallen world!
We need more glee. But not like the show. Evil glee. But again, not like the show, which was pretty evil.
Glee was Evil wih a capital E, and not just for its misuse of show-tunes.
Agreed.
A lot of evil isn’t about self-agrandisement, although it can be worked into it and is often used as a selling point, but rather, hurting another’s more important. I don’t care if I don’t benefit, so long as you suffer.
I liked the kind Crowley did in Good Omens. I blame nearly all bad traffic on him now.
As an ancient troll you KNOW that traffic jams are the bevels work.
Wonder if Puck’s incarnation is involved in local traffic congestion….
Almost guaranteed.
Maniacal.
As a great mind once said…
“Oh you’re a villain alright… just not a super one.”
“Oh yeah, what’s the difference?”
“PRESENTATION!!!”
Ahh, we’re about to get to the fun part.
The punching.
The punching is the corned beef in the Reuben.
Sometimes you do need to spice things up when you’re at work at times.
The best kind of spice is violence!
Time to employ a quote from one of my favourite movies.
“You’re a Villian all right, just not a super one.”
“What’s the difference?”
“PRESENTATION!”
Absolutely one hundred percent correct.
It’s a lost art.
You may be bad, but you’re not evil!
Why? What’s the difference?
STYLE!
Yeah, I messed it up. Sorry.
What good is Evil when you can’t have a little fun with it?
Why so serious?
The Joker knew how to have a good time. A stylish time. A joyful time.
Look at Satan enjoying all of this. Isn’t that lov—um, isn’t it?
i say it is! tracee is about to beat up his enemies while showcasing her killer cleavage – whats not to love?
on another note, after seeing the inside of that vault i can understand why satan didn´t miss those gold bars she ‘liberated’
Better put a ring on it, right?
Would that be evil?
I hope thats next. The double wedding I mean.
Sure as shootin.
Satan is certainly enjoying that underboob in the last panel. Unless I’m missing something?
Well, the threat of violence is also pleasing.
Indubitably, perchance he seeks to enjoy both?
RE: Purple Reign – I think I’m seeing a visual illusion, but that fabulous purple dress – which IS fabulous by the way – but the bodice is making Phoebs look a tad asymmetrical. But that might be the angle, but the farther breast appears a bit larger than the near.
Or maybe she’s always been so… such hairsplitting.
It’s still a gorgeous portrait.
I’m just a guy. No AI. And no reference pics either. Just my brain. Sometimes one boob ends up a little bigger than the other. In our flaws, we find the humanity. (Yeah. Let’s go with that.)
I like the way your brain works.
Even tho’ I’ve always been more of a side-boob fan, I have to say that many of them have a range of sizes over the course of time (boobs, not fans) so I can fully agree with our artist in residence.
Phone’s picture is super sexy! I wish I had a pack of cards like that although I haven’t played any card games in years’
I mean, I could probably make a whole deck. Kings would be Colin, Papa Shnorf, Satan and Cy the nerd store guy. Jacks would be Daphne, Tyler, Hannah and Miranda. Aces would be Colin’s sister, Hotdog Guy and … somebody else. Jokers would be blonde Puck and freckled Phoebe. Something like that.
Not sure where one can get custom card decks made, though.
Mmmm. Freckled Phoebe.
Quick look:

Oops I meant “Phoebe’s picture.” Sorry.
Hey, is that the idol from Raiders? And does he have a Golden Skull of Raul?
Tis. Maybe.
You can get 50,000 gold for that.
Yeah, he’s a traitor. He betrayed Satan, what made you think he couldn’t betray you as well?
It seems obvious when you put it like that.
And yet, people rarely think of it. Even the people who you’d think should betray you don’t often think of it.
What can I say, trust is how the world works, even crime.
That said, I’m not a game theorist. I’m a German major and nerd.
Anthropologically, we are distrustful of people whom we cannot see, cannot hear. The distant enemy is not to be trusted. But when someone is face to face with you, even in the form of a video, we tend to trust people implicitly. That is core to the con’s handbook. Smile at them, befriend them, look them in the eye, and they will believe anything.
Purple is now my favorite color. 🙂
A convert!
