SPILL THE TEA!
Go on! SPILL IT! SPILL IT NAOOOWWW!!!!!!
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…
Do I get some kind of special achievement award for fitting eight characters and tiger into one panel? I feel I deserve it.







At least the man knows when he has a temporary disadvantage in the current situation. I mean when a tiger is literally involved in the situation, then he knows he lost this battle…right?
Well, people backed into a corner are dangerous. When backed into a corner by a tiger, doubly so.
To gain a brief advantage they’ve contriiiiived!
But their advantage will not be long liiiiiived!
They’re no orphans, it’s noooot that gaaaame!
We don’t know what aaace he’ll claaaaaaim!
I asked for REAL rhymes! Not visual rhymes!
How else am I going to show a held note?
Totally “heard” this in Pirates of Penzance…..
Yay!
Now, what do you think of Craw T. Robot as the Chief of Police and “Tom” Servo as the Pirate King?
I don’t care what kind of hand you’ve got in your hole. A freaking tiger beats everything.
Well, there are many things that can beat a tiger: guns, bombs, elephants, sharp sticks put inside a pit.
Tuna fish sandwhich.
they’re kind of stupid like that…
😀
=!
“I still have a few aces up my sleeve!” “Cool, Henley here has a few claws up his pads, a few fangs up his mouth, and, tuna-breath!
I put his aces taste delicious.
I’d give you an award, but it would have to be a silly picture.
But alas, your comments cannot allow silly pictures, or even nonsilly ones, so…
8
I put my silly stuff in the website URL so if you click on it you’ll get a show!
I wish my comments allowed for silly pictures. I really do.
<;)[^[^[^={ ~~~
For your excellent comic composition, I hereby award you this coveted "Carp" Diem, the sillest picture one could ever include in your comments section.
I accept. Guess I should have had a speech prepared.
Your work speaks for itself.
Do silly walks count?
Always.
Yeppers, Tigers trump everything!
Except Tiggers. Tiggers have the edge, cuz tiggers bounce.
Does he have a Mirror Universe Puck up his sleeve?
But Mirror Universe Puck would probably be very chill, non-violent and stable. It’d be Mirror Universe Phoebe you’d want to watch out for.
I can just imagine Mirror Universe Phoebe making her entrance by bursting out of Cabal Guy’s chest.
Only Cabal Guy doesn’t die, he justs reforms like the T-1000 from Terminator Two.
So can I.
Think again: Mirror Universe Puck spent those 621 years by studying, training, fae stuff and so. Sure she’s chill and stable. She can also throw people without touching them.
Maybe? Maybe.
He’s bluffing…and he better not talk of aces up his sleeves if he wants to keep a pair in his pants.
Tigers know aces are the tastiest bits.
Like serving mountain oysters fresh from the bullfights. Sometimes they’re small, because the bull doesn’t always lose.
Tee hee.
Hannah is still getting used to their weirdness, isn’t she?
I wonder if she truely believes what people are telling her is happening, or just thinks they’re crazy.
Not sure if she believes or not. But she can try to believe.
Well it does take some time, but she has already had a taste.
you’ve earned the Stan Lee achievement, for all your hard work in making your comic strips. (I might’ve laid it on a little too thick, but credit where it’s due.)
Highest honors indeed.
Imagine Hannah’s reaction when Tyler adds, “Phoebe’s riding the tiger. Again, NOT a metaphor.”
The metaphorical possibilities abound.
I’m really glad to see Hannah featured again in the strip.
Maybe with her other semi-unnamed peeps with her, we might eventually see some of Hannah’s wild side that she hinted at years ago post-prom.
The Hannah peeps are Derek and Cassidy. They’ve been named. They just haven’t been added to the character roster yet. But I might get there.
The lion has been called the “king of beasts” but tigers are bigger. Phoebe has impressive taming skills.
Well, she’s not taming anything. She’s just able to talk to them. So it’s more a rational discussion than a bending to her will.
Isn’t saying you have an ace up your sleeve just admitting that you’re cheating?
Well, they’ve been cheating since day one. So no surprises there.
You get the Sergio Aragonés award, Level 9 (the tiger is big enough to qualify).
Most transparent metaphor ever. Did she not appreciate the type of goofball she’d been hanging with? Mind you, her own brand of goofball’s got a reputation that would normally be the intimidating one so why would she? I get where she’s coming from.
It’s hard to have an objective viewpoint on one’s own goofballs.
I never had.
Wonderful Walpurgis Everyone!
But no dancing and drinking and debauchery on a mountain top for me this year.
I’ve been growing mutant Venus Flytraps, and they require constant supervision.
I expect in another month when the flies arrive, I’ll have them well trained to gobble-gobble.
Aw. Maybe next time.
Mutant? Now I’m curious about the mutations.
Extra Large
Extra Colorful
Extra HUNGRY
I actually want them to sing to attract prey, like the “legendary” Sirens.
But the lyrics elude me.
I’m also working on some mutant Pitcher Plants.
They are extra colorful, and extra large. And possibly extra hungry.
But like, perhaps, a vegetable Sydney Sweeny, they seem far to content – and smug in their obvious superiority – to even attempt to carry a tune.
Which is ironic, considering they are nature’s trumpets.
They also consume their prey – silently – soundless and without motion.
In a way, oddly humble. Compared to the Flytraps which gloat when their traps are shut – a symbol of victory.
Mysterious and perhaps beyond any motivation a cat can offer.
Again … Sydney Sweeny.
I might have to add Butterworts to my carnivorous army.
They appear harmless. Yet their leaves are very sticky. A fly lands – is stuck – and then is slowly adsorbed
Victory is clearly visible. They make it seem so easy.
“Look at me” “Touch me” and then you die and are totally consumed.
But, like Sydney Sweeny, few can resist.
No, I’m not adding Butterworts to my army. I would fall to them.
Well, I’m glad you’ve obviously fallen in love.
I’m to blame for my remark on “tame”- it was somewhat lame.
Not lame. But I celebrate your sense of rhyme.
Oooh, Emily in the field.
She needs to be careful, she might start a wildfire putting her hotness on the plant life like that.
The plant life is lush and well-watered. No danger of brush fire.
