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…
It pained me to learn that ‘sleeper hold’ is no longer accepted grappling terminology and that this phrase is now considered quaintly vintage. That said, Puck is nothing if not a relic – hence her ‘Bedtime for Bonzo’ ref. She makes pop culture references that are 75 years old. It’s just what she does. Mind you, it’s what I do too, so of course I’m giving it a pass. It is my opinion, though (as formulated from many pre-MMA decades of watching professional wrestling), that this move should be called a sleeper hold. And no one can convince me otherwise.
Carotid
Fine. I’ll change it.
Block the carotid. Not the jugular.
I thought that too. I was going from the original guy’s line about what it did, but I think I’ll change it.
It’s in the title “Ancient” Fairy of Lore (and pop culture?)
We’re probably lucky she doesn’t drop slang from the 16th century into conversation.
Well, the REALLY old stuff fades into the background. But I’m sure anything from the 20th century probably feels like it was yesterday for her. As it does for me.
Putting them to sleep is the easy part. Doing it so they wake up afterwards is the hard part.
Okay, valid. And this scenario will play out just like in the movies, where those who are knocked unconscious remain unconscious for however long it takes for the story to progress. So expect no realism here.
The fact that Daphne didn’t know Puck could do that but still believed in her enough to take the muscle out says a lot about their relationship. 🙂
Yes, apparently they’ve developed a trustful rapport.
It’s a blind trust born of experience. And fear.
Yikes
Strikes. Fruit Strikes Gum.
WOW!!! Just WOW…I mean Puck is one tough momma bear indeed when she needs to be.
What’s going to happen to grandma there?
I guess if the sleeper hold doesn’t hold, Puck can always go back to squeezing the juice of the flower love-in-idleness into her victim’s eyes to assure his cooperation.
Just don”t be the first person he sees upon waking.
“Flower of this purple dye,
Hit with Cupid’s archery,
Sink in apple of his eye.
When his love he doth espy,
Let her shine as gloriously
As the Venus of the sky.—
When thou wak’st, if she be by,
Beg of her for remedy.”
Best to prop him up facing the guy from;
“Tyger, tyger burning bright, by the front gate in the night.”
Hijinks ensue.
