BLUE IS THE COLOR OF THE MONTH! PURPLE NO MORE!
Blue won the color contest this month. But only because I banned purple.
VOTE TO CHANGE YOUR HUE TO BLUE!!!
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…
This here comic stands as my greatest achievement. Decades later, when I must take stock of all that I have done, I won’t have much to point to that was worthwhile. But I will be able to point to this comic, and I’ll be able to say, “Now that one, that was a pretty good gag.” Then again, maybe it just tickles my funny bone and everyone else will just think it’s stupid. Hard to say.
They really should have taken the cookie . . . though I suppose they are still getting a gingersnap.
Of a sort. Heh heh.
this prooves that daph is the true dark side – she has cookies!
Gotta have the stick AND the carrot. Or the fist and the cookie, as it were.
+1
I’m being attacked by Minnie Mouse!
Good use of personell.
It’s too bad she didn’t know about what happened to her colleagues.
I should watch UHF again.
You really should.

Ha. I had to go and look again. I forgot what she was wearing.
Well it certainly was a great time for Puck to be involved with this overall plan.
We knew she had to come in at SOME point in time.
Nas T: I have minions!
Daphne: We have a Puck.
Exactly so.
If she’s a long time supporter of Satan, she might even recognise the…
Pregnant-crack addled-redhead that beat up Satan during his election campaign.
Probably not though, she doesn’t seem the person to see people as anything but numbers.
Probably not.
Does Puck like being nicknamed Ginger?
only when it strikes fear into the hearts of people she’s mad at…
No. She doesn’t.
Didn’t think so. No redhead likes being called Ginger. I certainly didn’t.
Except for maybe Ginger on Gilligan’s Island…
So, is that where the term comes from or was she named after it?
No, it definitely predates that. Though the first season was black-and-white, so how did anybody know? More common in British English than American English, though.
Good question. Good theory. I was unaware of the term until the fateful release of the South Park ‘kick a ginger’ episode, where it quickly entered the broader lexicon.
How does she respond to being called “Carrots”?
Well, predictably, I’d imagine.
Sir Richard Attenborough: “In the wild, the Canadian Ginger is known to take on much larger predators in defense of their offspring. This particular specimen, however, appears to be attacking purely for the love of the game.”
“After a successful hunt, she goes to the Canada Dry Ginger Ale watering hole to quench her thirst.”
Professional muscle versus 1,000 year old fairy… that’s not a fair fight at all….
Well, closer to 640. You get the picture though.
We know that. Daphne knows that. Not sure they know that.
Are we really setting one of the fair folk on a mortal in a fight?
Huh, I guess we are
Dibs on his pocket change
Assuming Puck doesn’t make him eat it
She’ll go gentle, I’m sure.
It’s definitely a tough cookie…
Break your teeth on it, man.
Those two goons are about to get all Pucked up!
One goon, one boss lady. Though the kids have made it so we can’t use that word anymore. Stupid kids.
What have “the kids” done now? Now what word is verboten?
Not exactly verboten, but the word ‘goon’ has now taken on a new meaning. Which I shall not go into detail about here. But you can look up if you want.
Oh, yes, I’ve heard of that. Right.
I laughed so hard at this comic that my girlfriend was worried I’d stop breathing, so… good job, EG.
I did my duty! Yay!
Vengeance is in the hands of a bow-haired Faerie.
Tagline for a great summer blockbuster.
Please commit the next four panels to an explicit depiction of Puck dismantling the guard (and the bureaucrat, if there’s room.)
Well, I think it may be several comics. We shall see.
Excellent
I’m not sure if that’s a good idea. That much blood would be hard to wash out.
I wish they still made summer blockbusters. Remember those?
The beatings will now commence.
Promptly.
Q:“Would you like to drink Canada Dry?” A: “I don’t think I can, Canada’s so big.” 😉
I have never heard that one before. I am surprised by my own innocence.
She’s got the chaotic ferocity of a redcap and the focused malice of a Fool; Puck’s the full Unseelie package!
The whole package, as it were.
“The beatings will continue until morale improves!”
Sadly, the morale won’t improve. So more beatings.
Welp, it was their choice.
I don’t think I’ve ever left a comment here before, despite reading for many many years. But I have to let you know how much I laughed at this strip, lol
As the resident redhead of my friend group, and who loves ginger jokes, this strip spoke to me.
I’ve tried to do you kind justice here.
And thanks for breaking through the barrier and commenting. Keeps me going.
This is great. Puck looks particularly feral 🙂 Love it.
It’s been a while since she went a bit wild. Thought it was time.
Oh, also appreciate the UHF joke in the Alt Text
I knew my target audience would.
I’m going to sound silly, but what joke? How do I see the Alt text?
If you’re on a big computer, put your curse over the image and don’t do anything. If you’re on a phone (little computer), I don’t know.
Phones sadly have no access to alt-text.
Puck, Ancient Fairy of Lore, chooses violence!
Is there any other choice? Really?
(evil chuckle) If violence didn’t solve the problem. Then you didn’t use enough of it.
Or at the right time. Timing is key.
I get a strong impression that guy is about to get eaten
I think he’s relatively safe. I see no sauces or marinades.
This ginger snaps the loudest!
Crackle pop.
this is a bit of a stretch, but how well would a Spring Surprise or maybe a Crunchy Frog pair with that :}
Your cheeks won’t thank you.
mmm, ginger surprise, may cause neckhurt, armhurt and leghurt.
Dangerous cookie.
